Chapter 40: Joining forces with Yan Chixia and inciting the Black Mountain Demon

In a corner of the main hall of Lanruo Temple, Nie Xiaoqian huddled, trembling with fear.

As a female ghost under the command of the Tree Demon Granny, she may not have had any intention of harming people, but she has indeed committed many atrocities.

Knowing that she had committed grave sins, Nie Xiaoqian no longer hoped to be reincarnated.

She only hoped that her soul would return to the underworld, and that her body would be in hell, to cleanse herself of her sins.

To this day, Nie Xiaoqian no longer dares to even have this much hope.

Because she offended three cultivators.

An extremely upright man, and two even more powerful snake demons!

Xiaoqian huddled in the corner, unsure of what to do.

She dared not and did not want to go back to her grandmother's side.

"If possible, please have those three cultivators kill me; that would be a form of liberation..."

Nie Xiaoqian muttered to herself, when suddenly she heard the sound of wind and footsteps outside.

A moment later, Xu Xian stepped in.

He looked around and indeed saw Nie Xiaoqian.

Xiaoqian naturally met Xu Xian as well.

As their eyes met, Xiaoqian shuddered, a great fear welling up inside her.

This is clearly Grandma's scent!

Could the person before me be someone Grandma sent to test me?

Xiaoqian knew that her grandmother had the ability to control ghosts, and could make ghosts suffer pain comparable to the eighteen levels of hell.

Terrified, she crawled tremblingly to Xu Xian's side, knelt on the ground, and murmured, "Please, young master, kill me..."

Xu Xian naturally knew what kind of lives these female ghosts led.

He sighed softly, reached out and touched Nie Xiaoqian's head, and said, "I will bury you in a place of great fortune, but you need to do me a favor."

Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were blank.

Xu Xian used the tree demon's ghost-controlling supernatural power to force Xiaoqian to stand up, and said, "I have already killed the tree demon, you no longer need to be controlled by it... As for the aura you sensed, it was the ghost-controlling supernatural power."

Xiaoqian looked at her uncontrollable body and knew that this was indeed her grandmother's supernatural power.

But the problem is, how could such a powerful tree spirit be dead?

The young master before me said I was free, and could even be buried where Fu Yuan was?

How is that possible?

Xiaoqian opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Xu Xian knew that Nie Xiaoqian was in a state of great shock, so he stopped talking and just waited quietly.

A moment later, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing used their magic to carry more than a dozen urns containing ashes into the main hall.

Xiaoqing looked at Xu Xian and teased, "Some people are quite good at being a hands-off manager."

Bai Suzhen released her gentle magical power, enveloping the urns containing ashes.

The urn trembled slightly, and a dozen or so beautiful figures dressed in dresses floated out at the same time.

Being situated beneath the tree spirit's roots, they naturally understood Grandma's condition very well.

At this moment, they all appeared, overjoyed and weeping, kowtowing and kneeling before Xu Xian and the other two.

"Thank you, three celestial beings, for rescuing us."

"We are deeply grateful and will repay the kindness of these three immortals by serving them as cattle or horses in our next life."

"Please accept our bow, sir."

……

Looking at her companions' expressions, Nie Xiaoqian finally came to her senses.

She immediately knelt down and prayed: "Immortal, you saved us from this sea of ​​suffering. I would do anything for you, even a hundred or a thousand times, without hesitation."

Hearing Nie Xiaoqian's words, Bai Qing and the other person were somewhat suspicious: "Help?"

Xu Xian explained, "This tree demon acts so recklessly because it has a powerful backer—the Black Mountain Demon!"

Upon hearing the name of the Black Mountain Demon, the female ghosts trembled with fear and shrank back into the urn.

They dared not show their faces again.

Even Nie Xiaoqian huddled up in a ball, not daring to say a word.

Xu Xian looked at Bai Suzhen, then pointed to the ground: "The Black Mountain Demon is a spirit from a Yin Mountain outside the City of the Wrongfully Dead, and is extremely powerful! If we send these souls into the underworld now, the Black Mountain Demon will definitely discover them. In that case, even if they enter the underworld, their lives will not be any better than they are now."

When Xiaoqing was digging out the urn, she already sensed the plight of the female ghosts.

Feeling a pang of sympathy, she resolved to help the female ghosts break free from their constraints.

Upon hearing about the Black Mountain Demon, she was filled with anxiety: "What should we do?"

Recalling the plot, Xu Xian said, "Seven days from now is an auspicious day for the demonic forces of the underworld. The Black Mountain Demon will descend to the mortal realm to choose a consort! At that time, we will join forces to kill him!"

The female ghosts in the urn seemed to have thought of something and spoke up to add to the discussion.

"Grandma did say that there would be a grand celebration in seven days."

"The Black Mountain Demon Lord will descend."

"Grandma made us change into brightly colored dresses to welcome the Black Mountain Demon."

"Just as the immortal said, the Black Mountain Demon is choosing a consort!"

……

"You know a lot."

Xiaoqing muttered something, but she had to admit that Xu Xian always seemed to anticipate her enemy's moves.

Whether it's Jinshan Temple, Hulu Mountain, or Lanruo Temple, this guy always seems to be in control of everything.

Is all of this knowledge from the book?

I need to read more books in the future!

Xiaoqing made up her mind, while Bai Suzhen became even more obedient: "My lord, I will do whatever you say."

Xu Xian nodded: "Alright, let's make some arrangements to welcome the Black Mountain Demon in seven days! I'll teach you a technique."

Xu Xian greeted Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, then reached out and touched their foreheads.

A mysterious aura then entered their sea of ​​consciousness.

This is the Lesser Heavenly Circuit Hibernation Method!

This technique was specially modified for Xu Xian by the wandering immortals in "The Peach Blossom Spring". It does not rely on written words, but only a mysterious symbol to record all the information about the supernatural power.

Therefore, Xu Xian could not verbally explain it and could only pass on the symbol to Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing exactly as it was.

Xiaoqing stared wide-eyed at Xu Xian in disbelief, then closed her eyes, sat cross-legged, and carefully savored this hidden supernatural power.

Bai Suzhen possessed exceptional comprehension and immediately grasped the supernatural power. She exclaimed in amazement, "Truly wondrous! With this power, I can unleash a thunderous strike against that Black Mountain Demon in seven days! Speaking of your power, my lord..."

Xu Xian then delivered his prepared explanation: "When I slew the tree demon, countless wisps of mist rose around me, among which was a golden symbol—this is the power I possess!"

Bai Suzhen held Xu Xian's hand, her face flushed: "My lord, you are truly exceptionally talented. I feel that I am not worthy of you."

Xu Xian then put his arm around Bai Suzhen's waist and laughed, "Then you'd better work hard at cultivation, or I'll surpass you."

"It would be better if we surpassed it, hehe. Speaking of which, my lord, in seven days, when we arouse the Black Mountain Demon, the three of us will be in the shadows, and we'll need a powerful magician to restrain him!"

Xu Xian nodded, then looked towards the door: "Indeed... Fellow Daoist Yan Chixia, you've been listening for quite a while, haven't you? Would you like to cooperate with us to kill the Black Mountain Demon?"

Xiaoqing was taken aback: "Is that big-bearded guy outside?"

Bai Suzhen also frowned slightly, because she did not sense Yan Chixia's magical power.

Xu Xian waited quietly.

Time passed slowly, and outside the window there were only the sounds of wind and birdsong, but no one else was around.

"..."

Xu Xian blushed, wondering why the cautious Yan Chixia hadn't eavesdropped this time.

He released Bai Suzhen and went straight out of the house: "I'm going to find that guy!"

Xiaoqing giggled, "Haha, I thought you really knew everything!"

Xu Xian recalled the plot and indeed found a secluded house where faint snoring could be heard.

He raised his foot, intending to kick the door open.

After thinking about it, I felt it was a bit impolite.

He knocked three times as a reminder, then pushed the door open and entered.

The smell of alcohol in the room, accompanied by snoring, made Xu Xian frown slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Yan Chixia!"

Xu Xian grabbed Yan Chixia's ear and shouted, startling Yan Chixia.

"What are you doing?!"

Xu Xian asked in confusion, "Why are you sleeping?"

"Nonsense, there aren't even any monsters left, what else would I be doing if I didn't sleep?"

"..."

"Get to the point quickly, don't bother me!"

Xu Xian pointed to the ground: "Seven days from now, the Black Mountain Demon will descend upon the mortal realm. Are you interested in eliminating it?"

Yan Chixia instantly sobered up, his eyes lighting up: "Your information network is really impressive. What ideas do you have?"

Xu Xian and Yan Chixia whispered to each other for a while, then simultaneously let out a wicked, cackling laugh.

Seven days later.

An auspicious day in the underworld!
