Inside Qu Shuang City.

“Have you found her?” Lonemoon asked.

“She isn’t in the west of the city?” Yi Qing shook his head. “I’ll go and look in the east.”

“Forget it, forget it!” Lonemoon pulled Yi Qing back. “You know that your master naturally conceals herself. Unless she looks for us, we will not be able to find her easily.”

“But… Master is not good with directions,” Yi Qing reminded Lonemoon.

The corners of his mouth twitched. For the 101st time, he felt like giving her a good beating. “We have no other choice; we can only wait and see.”

“Wait?” Yi Qing stared blankly at Lonemoon. “Wait for what?”

“Wait and see where there is trouble!” Lonemoon said through his gritted teeth. “Don’t you understand your master’s character yet? Wherever she is, she creates trouble. For all we know, right now…”

Boom…

Before he finished speaking, they heard a loud explosion coming from the east. Throughout Qu Shuang City, the impact was felt and the ground vibrated. A huge amount of black Qi began to fill the air and in a blink of an eye, the entire eastern region was covered in the black Qi.

“I can sense Master’s aura over there,” Yi Qing exclaimed. He drew his flying sword and flew toward the east.

Indeed.

Lonemoon frowned and turned toward the east. “Heh heh…”

He knew this would happen. He drew his flying sword and flew in the direction Yi Qing disappeared in. As he approached, he saw a significant number of immortals flying away in fear, shouting as they passed by him.

“Demonic Qi… a thick demonic Qi!”

“Yes, it’s coming from the City Lord’s Abode!”

“Demons have invaded the City Lord’s Abode!”

City Lord’s Abode?

Lonemoon pursed his lips as his heart began to race. It’s the City Lord’s Abode!

That foodie must create trouble wherever she went, didn’t she? She actually caused trouble in the City Lord’s Abode this time!

The two of them continued to fly toward the east of the city. From far, they spotted an abode atop a hill. Immortals were fighting inside and there were sparks from dharma spells being cast.

These people looked stronger than Yi Qing and Lonemoon, especially the person in the middle of the commotion. His Immortal Qi seemed a few times stronger than Xun Li’s. He was fighting with another person who was engulfed in black Qi. The latter did not seem to have any form. No matter what the former did, he could not seem to hit him because he kept hiding within the black smog.

The black smog was getting thicker. Yi Qing and Lonemoon were already beginning to feel uncomfortable and they were barely reaching the tower.

“Help!” Yi Qing shouted before he charged into the tower.

Lonemoon gritted his teeth and followed closely behind Yi Qing.

The Sword Qi rushed out from his sword and forced the black smog to retreat a couple of inches. A green-robed immortal who was almost swallowed up by the black smog took the opportunity to escape from it and retreat into the defensive array.

“You are…” The man hesitated, surprised to see Yi Qing and Lonemoon. When the demonic Qi appeared, all the immortals apart from those who resided in the City Lord’s Abode flew away. He did not think that anybody else would come to their aid. Yi Qing and Lonemoon were merely Earth Immortals, but their Sword Qi was strong enough to force the demonic Qi to retreat. Could they be…

Before he could open his mouth to ask anything, the demonic Qi surged toward him once more. He had no choice but to continue fighting. He tried to fight off the wind blades formed by the demonic Qi to stop them from breaking through the defensive array formation.

But he could hold the demonic Qi off for not much longer. Within a minute or two, the immortal who was fighting against the black figure collapsed onto the floor after a burst of demonic Qi hit him.

“Patriarch!” The rest of the immortals exclaimed. His entire left shoulder was engulfed in demonic Qi, which seeped into his bones. Immediately, he used the sword in his hand to cut off his entire left arm. Then, he conjured a seal to stop the blood flow from his shoulder sockets.

In the time the immortal used to conjure the seal, the black figure charged forward once again to attack the man. Suddenly a gust of sword Qi clashed with the figure, causing it to let out a cry and retreat.

The man on the floor was obviously shocked. He looked down at the black drops of blood flowing from his severed arm – it was contaminated with demonic Qi. He shot a weird look at Yi Qing and asked, “How… did you?” How did you hit the demon?

As if understanding something, Yi Qing fended off the black Qi and answered, “My master taught me that demons aren’t formless – they’re just moving very quickly.”

The man pondered this and suddenly looked as though he had figured everything out. “Many thanks!” he shouted, before he got up to charge at the black figure. He no longer hid within the defensive array. Instead, he rushed straight at the black smog at top speed. Indeed, the demon could no longer hide within the black smog. It had no choice but to retreat.

Just as they were about to defeat the demon, a bright white beam of light shot out from behind them and broke through the thick demonic Qi, illuminating the night sky. The air in Qu Shuang City was suddenly filled with strong sword Qi.

“Little An!” The injured immortal shouted! The demon took the chance while the immortal was distracted and escaped.

“This sword Qi is…” The green-robed immortal whom Lonemoon had saved earlier went as white as a sheet. The immortal looked up at the other immortal in the sky and said, “Father! Could Little An be…”

The other immortal frowned deeply and started to fly toward the white beam of light when Yi Qing, seeing the white beam, said, “the Primordial Soul Sword QI!”

The immortal paused and landed on the ground, turning around to look at Yi Qing in shock. “You know it!” Suddenly realising something, he said, “could you be-”

“A sword cultivator!” Yi Qing nodded and flew on his sword. “Let’s go over first!”

A look of excitement crossed the father and son’s faces, then they flew off to overtake Yi Qing and lead the way toward the white beam.

Lonemoon frowned and followed behind them. He nudged Yi Qing and whispered, “What’s the Primordial Soul Sword Qi?” He was a sword cultivator too, but he had never heard of such a thing.

“That’s the kind of sword that is contained in the veins and becomes thicker as the sword cultivator becomes stronger. If the cultivator can tap into this sword Qi, it would help his cultivation. But if he does not know how to use it, it could harm him,” he explained as he flew. “This kind of Sword Qi is only present in those with the innate sword embodiment!”

“Oh.” Lonemoon finally understood. So that was what it was. Hmph, another natural cheat!

The few of them flew toward the white beam of light and found that everything around it already reduced to smithereens. Beside the blinding white beam stood someone in a black robe who stared at the white beam of light.

“Who are you?” The immortal who had been battling the demon asked coldly. He did not think there were other people in the compounds. “Why are you-”

“Master!” Before he could finish, Yi Qing – who was standing behind him – rushed forward with a look of pure excitement on his face. When he reached the woman, he asked, “Are you alright?”

“Yes,” Shen Ying replied, nodding. I am just hungry.

“This…” Yi Qing looked around and saw that there were over ten immortals in black robes lying on the ground, unconscious. There was yet another one under Shen Ying’s foot.

“Oh, they are human traffickers.” She pointed at the center of the white beam. “They wanted to kidnap the child and sell him. I just…”

Yi Qing listened and was just about to ask another question when he was interrupted.

The green-robed immortal in front of him looked anxiously into the white beam, then turned around and knelt to Yi Qing. “Sword Immortal, please save my son! His body is just like yours. Only you can help him remove the Primordial Soul Sword Qi from inside his body. If you are willing to save him, I, Bao Feiping, will do anything in return!”

Yi Qing turned to look at the small child in the middle of the white beam of light. He frowned. He looked no more than ten years old, but his cultivation level was so high that he seemed almost ready to ascend to become an Earth Immortal. It was no wonder that his tiny body was too weak to contain such strong Primordial Soul Sword Qi. If this continued on, he would be killed by the sheer strength of the sword Qi in his body.

He helped the immortal up and said, “Immortal Friend, please do not stand on ceremony. I will try my best to help, but you must know that I am weak and my own Primordial Soul Sword Qi has been suppressed for a long time. I dare not guarantee that I will be able to get rid of all the sword Qi in your son’s body.”

“Fellow Immortal, please do not worry. Go ahead and try!” Bao Feiping cupped his fists and continued, “No matter the outcome, I will remember this great favour.”

Yi Qing nodded and began to walk into the white beam of light, but Shen Ying pulled him back.

“Master?”

Shen Ying instructed, “Be careful and come out soon.”

“Yes, Master!” Yi Qing answered happily. Master was most worried about him. He was touched…

Shen Ying: Sigh, dinner is delayed yet again!

Lonemoon was the only one deep in thought while studying the two strangers in their midst.

Bao Feiping?

Isn’t that the name of the City Lord?

What a huge business prospect!
