The devil Zhai Xingchen of the Yin-Yang Demon Palace attacked and injured Su Baicheng, the head of the Xuantian Sword Sect. Later, on the way back to the Yin-Yang Demon Palace, he was attacked by the witch Li Wenwei and his injuries were even more serious.
Zhai Xingchen, who was seriously injured, had to retreat to heal his wounds, and handed over all affairs of the Yin and Yang Demon Palace to his disciple Han Yushu.
Han Yushu's realm was not high and his prestige was insufficient. The Hehuan Sect, which was originally loyal to Zhai Xingchen, quickly changed its position and joined the witch Xu Wenwei. Although the other five demon sects loyal to Zhai Xingchen, including Blood Spirit Sect, Wuqing Palace, Beast Control Sect, Heavenly Corpse Sect, and Shadow Demon Sect, did not betray Zhai Xingchen, they did not obey Han Yushu's orders at all.
Since there is no one in charge, a rare peace is maintained between the Demon Sect and the Righteous Sect.
The Xuantian Sword Sect gradually prospered, and the number of disciples tripled to over a thousand. Even Woyun Peak had two more inner disciples, Jie Bing and Wu Yun'er. Ji Bing was forty years old and Wu Yun'er was thirty-eight years old. They were a couple who had just entered the foundation building period and worshiped the master Su Baicheng as their disciple. They called Shu Yuehen the senior sister, Mu Hanyun the second senior brother, and Su Xiang the third senior sister.
Shu Yuehen felt awkward because she knew that the master Jie Bing and Wu Yun'er worshiped was not Su Baicheng but Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao is dedicated to the sect's affairs and holds the power of the sect. If Shu Yuehen said now that he was not the real Su Baicheng, no one would believe it. Maybe it would be good for Nan Qiao to keep pretending like this.
On this day, Shu Yuehen had just returned from the Ancestral Master Hall. She had almost defeated the sword spirit of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Sword just now.
As soon as she arrived at Woyun Peak, Wu Yun'er came to invite her to see the leader.
In Cangsong Hall, in addition to Nan Qiao and Mu Hanyun, there was also an old monk with a fluttering white beard.
Nan Qiao introduced the two parties with a smile: "This is Kongzhi the divine monk from Jinding Temple, and this is my disciple Shu Yuehen."
After the two greeted each other, they sat down to talk.
Kongzhi Divine Monk came to Xuantian Sword Sect for help. Jinding Temple is located in Haizhou, close to Yunzhou where Youhuan Sect is located.
In recent days, water levels in Haizhou have surged, causing floods. If it was just a flood, Jinding Temple could handle it, but the underworld was in turmoil, and the gate of hell opened at the junction of Yunzhou and Haizhou.
Countless evil ghosts poured out from the gate of hell, occupying territory everywhere and attacking each other. The monks of Jinding Temple tried their best but could not save them all.
In particular, a ghost king appeared in Jinmu Town, Haizhou, and almost turned Jinmu Town into a ghost.
This ghost king was so powerful that all the eminent monks of Jinding Temple had no choice but to send people to various sects for help.
Nan Qiao is going to let Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun go to Haizhou to help Jinding Temple subdue the evil spirits.
Shu Yuehen asked: "I heard that monks are best at saving the souls of the dead. Do you still need our help?"
The monk Kongzhi smiled bitterly and said: "The monks of Jinding Temple are indeed good at saving the souls of the dead, but something happened in the underworld. The gate of hell suddenly opened wide, and the ghosts continued to flow without interruption. All the monks of Jinding Temple could not save the souls without rest day and night." The disciples of the sect are killing Wushuang, and they only ask the two sword immortals to get rid of the ghost king in Jinmu Town."
Shu Yuehen had no choice but to go to Haizhou with Mu Hanyun.
Before leaving, Su Xiang bid farewell to the two of them alone.
She is twenty years old now and is already a stunning beauty. The monks are always young and look similar to Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun in appearance.
She had known that Mu Hanyun liked the senior sister, so unlike the original book, she did not become lovers with Mu Hanyun.
She is no longer the crying little girl she used to be, and she is no longer clamoring to go down the mountain with her senior sister.
Shu Yuehen was a little disappointed. She used to treat Su Xiang as a daughter. However, seven years later, Su Xiang grew up and became increasingly distant from the stern senior sister, and became closer to the amiable Nan Qiao.
Mu Hanyun asked Su Xiang: "Su Xiang, won't you go to Haizhou with us?"
Su Xiang replied sheepishly: "Originally I wanted to go, but I'm afraid of ghosts! If I read a ghost story, I'll be so scared that I can't sleep all night."
Mu Hanyun smiled and said: "As a disciple of the Sword Sect, you are still afraid of ghosts? If you really encounter a ghost in the future, I'm afraid you will abandon your sword and cry!"
Su Xiang muttered in a low voice: "It's not that time yet!"
Shu Yuehen said earnestly: "Practice well! Don't just listen to Master in everything, he can be unreliable sometimes."
Su Xiang didn't quite understand, but nodded sensibly. Ever since Master Su Baicheng was attacked in retreat seven years ago, the relationship between Master and Senior Sister has become a little strange. The senior sister doesn’t seem to trust the master very much.
But Su Xiang felt that the master was very good. He had been flirting with many women in the past, but later he broke up with all of them. In the past, we couldn't see him more than once a year, but now the master has been teaching Su Xiang various skills and swordsmanship in Xuantian Sword Sect.
Master has obviously become more reliable, but Su Xiang does not dare to argue with Senior Sister. After all, even Master is afraid of Senior Sister.
Su Xiang knew that his talent was far different from that of Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun, and he always felt inferior when getting along with them, but they were very kind to him, and that was enough.
Su Xiang has always wanted to win over his senior brother and sister. Although the senior brother obviously likes the senior sister so much, the senior sister has always been obsessed with sword training and is very cold towards the senior brother.
Senior Sister's swordsmanship has been growing rapidly. Even Ye Qingyun, Ji Dongyue, and Xu Qingshan from Zuiyue Peak are no match for Senior Sister.
Su Xiang finally realized that the elder sister must want to be the best in the world and ascend to the immortal world, and she did not want to get involved in her children's personal affairs.
It is admirable that the senior sister has such ambitions. Su Xiang is willing to cheer for the senior sister and does not even dare to disturb the senior sister's practice.
It's just a pain for senior brother. He likes senior sister so much, but he never gives up after being rejected by senior sister. Every time Su Xiang thinks about it late at night, he will be moved by senior brother's infatuation and shed a lot of tears.
After all, Su Xiang is too old to cry casually or express her concerns casually. Shu Yuehen never knew that her beloved junior sister had such rich psychological activities. She thought Su Xiang didn't like his scolding and had alienated herself.
Before Shu Yuehen left, he also found Nan Qiao and warned him to manage Xuantian Sword Sect well and treat Su Xiang well.
Nan Qiao promised that as long as he was alone with Shu Yuehen, he would let himself go and show his unreliable side.
"Don't worry, I am a god, and all living beings worship me. You see, after many years of careful management by me, Xuantian Sword Sect is now thriving and becoming more and more prosperous. As for Su Xiang, she is beautiful and cute, I always loved her."
When Shu Yuehen heard "beautiful and cute", his face darkened, and he warned: "You have been a god for countless years, but you can't attack a little girl."
Nan Qiao smiled and said: "That's natural. Gods and demons are immortal. I look at people like ants. How can I like a little guy who will die in the blink of an eye?"
He really deserved a beating, so Shu Yuehen couldn't help but hit him again.
