Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 96 Human Haze
forest,

Exhausted, Shen Anzhi fled in panic through the dense forest.

Her clothes were torn, her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in dust and blood.

The once bright and determined look in his eyes was now filled with panic and fear.

In the woods, the leaves rustled, as if sighing for her plight.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, but it couldn't bring her any warmth.

The leopard cat, whom he considered family, abandoned him, and the serpent, on whom he had placed great hopes, exploited him.

The further she walked, the more tired Shen Anzhi became. Finally, with tears blurring her vision, she sat down under a tree.

Looking up at the tall tree overhead, he curled up into a ball, trying to suppress his breathing, feeling utterly hopeless.

My mind keeps replaying the past few months...

From being demoted to the Sanqing Blessed Land and meeting the spirit snake, to the spirit snake accompanying him to test his skills in the back mountain, to encouraging him to take down Fan Jin's Jade Flower Sword, to his first experience descending the mountain to eliminate the river demon, and finally to eliminating the five porcelain demons of Jingdezhen.
The final journey—from the Vajra Cave, the Monster Village, the Dragon and Tiger Palace, to the Otherworld…—was all meticulously planned step by step.

At this moment, Shen Anzhi felt like a helpless baby abandoned by the world.

Now that the giant python has emerged from the mountain, she feels she has made an unforgivable mistake...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the Three Pure Ones' Giant Python emerges from the mountain, those in the surrounding areas will suffer the most.

Jingdezhen.

After coming down from Sanqing Mountain, Kui Ran never returned to Wugong Mountain. She still couldn't let go of Kang Qing in Jingdezhen.
In the end, the human and the demon simply began to live a shameless married life.

This morning,

Kui Ran and Kang Qing were enjoying a pleasant time.

Sunlight streamed in through the carved windows, bathing the entire room in a warm golden glow.

Thanks to Kang Qing's care, Kui Ran was no longer slovenly.

At this moment, he was sitting on a recliner in the porcelain workshop, holding a gourd of wine in his hand. Occasionally, he would look up at Kang Qing, who was making ceramics not far away, his eyes filled with affection.

Kang Qing, dressed in a light blue dress with her long hair cascading down her shoulders, was throwing clay.

Although the porcelain workshop was simple, it was filled with a faint aroma of tea and flowers.

Various exquisite porcelain pieces were displayed on the shelf.
Every now and then, Kang Qing would look up and exchange a smile with Kui Ran.

Just a few days ago, they reached a consensus to stay away from the noise and disputes of the outside world and enjoy each other's company.

suddenly,

Kui Ran noticed that the Demon-Slaying Gourd suddenly emitted a bright light, and the runes on the gourd were flashing.

Kui Ran suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Kang Qing put down the clay model in his hand, his face full of doubt.

Kui Ran frowned, sensing the warning from the Demon-Supporting Gourd: "Not good, a powerful demon is attacking."

"Huh?" Kang Qing looked puzzled.

At that very moment, a small village on the eastern outskirts of Jingdezhen was attacked by a group of demons. Dozens of demons stole the souls and skins of the villagers. They looked each other over, as if they were very satisfied with the hosts they had found.

Some of the villagers whose bodies were possessed by the monster became expressionless like walking corpses, while others underwent drastic personality changes and became terrifying. After exchanging glances, they headed towards Jingdezhen.

At this time, Jingdezhen was bustling with activity, as visitors from all directions were selecting exquisite porcelain.

A porcelain-making workshop.

"Qingqing, don't run around. The gourd signal is getting stronger and stronger, so the demon coming must be powerful."

Kui Ran, holding a horse-slaying sword, looked at the flickering demon-suppressing gourd and the white light emanating from its inscriptions, indicating the seriousness of the situation. This made Kui Ran uneasy, so she could only reassure Kang Qing before going out to investigate.

The bustling streets were teeming with people, creating a lively scene.

Kui Ran was running anxiously, carrying a broadsword. He was agile and moved through the crowd like lightning.

His clothes fluttered as he ran, and he gripped the horse-slaying sword, a symbol of justice and power, tightly in his hand.

In his eyes, the crowd seemed to have become a blurred background, and only the unknown demonic aura ahead was beckoning him.

People around him cast curious glances at his hurried figure, but he paid no attention.

Just as they arrived at the city gate,
Kui Ran then saw a large group of villagers behaving strangely heading towards Jingdezhen.

They were expressionless and acted blankly, refusing to answer any questions asked by the guards at the city gates.

"Oh no, their souls have been possessed by a demon."

Kui Ran could tell at a glance that the souls of these villagers had been suppressed by these demons, and their human skin had been possessed by the demons.

"Scatter, they are monsters."

Before Kui Ran could make a move, a voice came from the city wall, and then a long spear pierced a villager.

"Ow..."

Before anyone could react, the villager had already been reduced to pieces and vanished into thin air.

Immediately afterwards, the villagers possessed by the monster attacked the demon hunters who jumped down from the city wall.

Seeing this, Kui Ran quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Fellow Daoist, you mustn't do this, it will harm people."

The reason why Kui Ran hesitated to take action was because she was afraid that although she could kill the monster through violence, the villagers' physical bodies would also be destroyed. Even if the villagers' souls could return, they could not be resurrected through their destroyed bodies.

Faced with Kui Ran's obstruction, the fellow Daoist with the long spear seemed to understand the reason, so he did not harm the second villager.

"The righteous energy of heaven and earth subdues demons and monsters. The divine light shines, and evil spirits are driven away."

"Demons, quickly reveal your true forms, and submit to my law, so that you may forever return to chaos."

Kui Ran took the demon-slaying gourd from her waist, and as she chanted a spell, the talismans on the gourd began to gleam with golden light.

Seeing that the spiritual power had been activated, Kui Ran immediately removed the stopper from the gourd's mouth.

“When the truth is spoken, evil spirits are swept away.”

As Kui Ran shouted, a strong light burst forth from the mouth of the Demon-Slaying Gourd.

The light, like a rope, shot swiftly toward the villagers.

The villagers began to cover their faces and eyes, roaring in terror as they tried to struggle and escape, but the light tightly bound them, and the powerful suction pulled the streams of black energy from their bodies toward the gourd...

Soon, the demonic spirits within the villagers were collected into the Demon-Matching Gourd, and the villagers collapsed to the ground as if they had lost their support.

The scene just now scared away the onlookers, who were afraid of being infected by this ominous thing.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Zhu Taiming, the Six-Coin Demon Catcher from Mingwang Cave."

"Wugong Wasabi".

After introducing themselves, the two went forward to investigate the situation.

"Could the sudden appearance of so many monsters be related to the emergence of the Three Pure Ones Giant Python from the mountain?" Zhu Taiming muttered to himself.

Kui Ran heard this clearly, frowned, and asked, "What did you say? What giant python emerging from the mountain?"

Zhu Taiming said with a puzzled look, "Fellow Daoist, don't you know? Five days ago, the giant python sealed in the Wind and Thunder Tower escaped."

Kui Ran was extremely surprised, but then she suddenly realized that she had been so busy with Kang Qing in the small porcelain workshop these past few days that she hadn't known anything about what was happening outside. Hearing Zhu Taiming say this, she was shocked and knew that something must have happened to Shen Anzhi and the Sanqing Sect.

"Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist?"

"what?"

"Demons and monsters are rampant. I'm going to slay them. Take care."
