Under the red snow, calamity flames raged within the Chi Dragon Mansion, piercing through the sky, with endless cries of agony.
"Help!! Monsters!!"
"Azhen! It's me! Ah—!!"
"Guards!! Guards!! Help!!"
... ...
In several blocks to the east of the city, as the cultivators tainted by the red snow turned into monsters, it had turned into a hellish hunting ground.
When they are tainted by the red snow, their souls would be seized, their bodies inhabited by blood spirits, growing flesh-colored tendrils all over their bodies, or countless eyeballs sprouting on their skin.
The monsters weren't particularly strong, nor did they possess intelligence.
But for the cultivators in the city now, they were more troublesome than any enemy.
——Two people who are just the best of friends just a moment ago, the next moment, one turned into a blood spirit and attempted to kill the other.
——A master and disciple just a moment ago, the next moment, the master swallowed the disciple whole.
In such situations, many cultivators would hesitate to make a move, and some might even be immediately overwhelmed by demonic thoughts.
The evil of demonic cultivators was pure and unreasonable evil.
A golden-haired woman in a golden Daoist robe gritted her teeth, severed her disciple's neck with a sword, waved her hand as if wielding a sword, and ignited the corpse with golden thunder fire.
"Disciple... I'm sorry."
She closed her eyes and apologized to the "disciple" in front of her, then frowned and rushed towards the next blood spirit.
Lifting her sword, she thrust it out.
A sword shadow instantly split into three sword lights, cutting the blood spirit in front of her into three pieces.
The man who was saved wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately thanked her, "Miss, thank you for your help."
The golden-haired woman nodded, then shook off the blood on her spiritual sword onto the ground, looked up at the lotus in the sky.
"What exactly happened? What is Senior Li doing? How could he let the demonic cultivators cause such a disturbance?"
"Miss, let's find a safe place to hide first. This red snow is too bizarre. I've heard before that only the Heavenly Demon Sect would manipulate blood spirits. I'm afraid the demonic cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect are behind this."
The golden-haired woman frowned, "How did the Heavenly Demon Sect come all the way from the Eastern Region? What is the Profound Star Sect doing? Is their boundary just for show?!"
The man beside her looked helpless and suggested, "Miss, let's not complain for now. Let's find..."
The conversation wasn't finished yet when suddenly a dark figure descended from the sky, pouncing directly onto the golden-haired woman, pinning her to the ground. It opened its blood-stained mouth wide, resembling that of a lion, and buried its head toward her neck to bite.
"Ah—!"
The woman immediately gripped her spiritual sword horizontally, wedging it between the creature's teeth, and forcefully pushed its mouth back. Unfortunately, the force was from bottom to top, without any support.
Seeing this, the man beside her immediately swung his sword towards the creature's neck.
Bang—
However, before the sword could land on the creature, it was slapped away by a tendril behind the creature.
"Oh no—!!"
Seeing her disciple being knocked away, the golden-haired woman's face instantly revealed a hint of fear. As the creature's mouth approached closer and closer, she had no way to defend herself.
"You beast!!! Get off me!!"
Sticky saliva dripped from the creature's mouth onto the woman's face.
Just then, six icy blue sword lights flashed.
Swish—
The creature pressing down on the golden-haired woman was instantly cut into six pieces and flew away.
Upon seeing these six sword lights, the woman's face was filled with surprise. She immediately turned her head to look at the person wielding the sword, only to see a girl wearing a bamboo hat, dressed in night clothes, her face tightly wrapped in bandages.
"You—"
She was about to say something when another wail of a creature came from nearby.
The woman immediately propped herself up and looked over, only to see a boy wearing a bamboo hat, dressed in night clothes, his face covered with bandages.
The boy who had just sheathed his sword met the woman's gaze, then turned and continued running along the street:
"Junior Sister, hurry up."
"Mmm—"
As she watched the two figures run away, the golden-haired woman quickly reached out her hand:
"Wait!!"
However, in just that moment, the two figures had already moved thirty feet away.
At this moment, her disciple, who had been knocked away, returned, holding his chest, and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
"Ask about the Five Swords Technique and the Shadowleaf Sword Art—"
"Hmm?"
"Just now, those two people!! They were using our Shadowmoon Sword Sect's secret sword techniques!!!" The woman turned her head to look at her disciple, "My mother used to suspect that my father is having an affair with someone outside, and it turns out to be true!! Damn old man! He had already over ten women inside, and there's still someone outside, and they even passed on our secret sword techniques. When I get back, I'll tell mother all about this!!"
?
The disciple beside her listened to her words and suddenly found his facial features crowded in the center of his face. He couldn't figure out his young miss's thought process, but he didn't care. He quickly suggested:
"Miss, let's talk about this later. Let's find a safe place first, or we might not even get to go back."
"Tch! Damn old man!"
... ...
Meanwhile, Ye Anping led his junior sister through the streets, constantly clearing the blood spirits blocking their path with his spiritual sword. At the same time, he recalled the golden-haired girl his junior sister had just saved.
If he remembered correctly, that girl was undoubtedly the young miss of the Shadowmoon Sword Sect.
But the problem was, in his memory, Yun Xi should not have been involved in the events at the Chi Dragon Mansion; her appearance came later.
"Tch— This is a bit strange..."
Ye Anping murmured to himself, putting this matter into his mental notes, planning to think about it later.
The most important thing now was to break the array set up by "Zuo Min" in the northeast direction with his junior sister.
Before long, the two arrived at a square surrounded by blood-colored spiritual stones.
The square was littered with the limbs of immortal cultivators, and in the center sat a female cultivator dressed extremely provocatively, her long hair like blood, emitting a foul stench of rust.
Sensing Ye Anping and Pei Lengxue approaching, the female cultivator slowly opened her eyes, revealing compound eyes like those of a fly.
Although Ye Anping knew in advance, seeing her compound eyes still made his scalp tingle and gave him goosebumps all over.
Zuo Min looked at the attire of Ye Anping and Pei Lengxue with a slight confusion. After all, in her eyes, the two in front of her must have known about the Chi Dragon Red Refining Five Lotus Array in advance, otherwise they wouldn't have dressed like this to guard against the red snow.
"Foundation Establishment stage? Who are you two?"
"Just two cannon fodders."
"Hmm?"
Ye Anping smiled slightly, raised his spiritual sword towards her, and said, "Just cannon fodders who killed one of your masters."
Zuo Min furrowed her brows slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Just as it sounds. The Grandmaster of the Poison Gu Sect, also known as Wu You. He died by my hand."
Hearing this, Zuo Min's compound eyes widened, and her eyeballs popped out of their sockets like flies.
"What?!"
