Chapter 97 The Glorious Era Fades
Things happened too fast.

As Kui Ran ran towards the porcelain workshop, a large number of monsters had already invaded Jingdezhen.

Ignoring the crowds rushing around him, he hurried anxiously toward home.

His long hair danced in the wind, his face was full of anxiety, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, but he didn't care.

crunch...

Kui Ran suddenly pushed open the workshop door, only to see Kang Qing walking towards him with a blank expression.

"Kui Ran, what's wrong?"

“Shen Anzhi has finally met with disaster. Something has happened at Sanqing Mountain.” After saying this, Kui Ran grabbed Kang Qing’s hand and said, “Hurry up, a large number of monsters have arrived in town. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late.”

"Oh."

Kang Qing currently possesses no magical powers; she is merely a spirit pet. If she were to encounter a malevolent monster, she would be doomed. Therefore, without much thought, she followed Kui Ran and ran out of the porcelain workshop.

At this moment, the monsters surged in like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the once peaceful town of Jingdezhen.

The sky was shrouded in darkness by the monsters, as if the end of the world had arrived. These monsters were of all shapes and sizes, bizarre and grotesque. Some had sharp fangs, and their blood-red eyes gleamed with a cruel light in the darkness; some were as large as mountains, and every step they took caused the earth to tremble violently; some were like smoke, drifting eerily in the air, leaving a chilling shadow in their wake.

As Kui Ran and Kang Qing turned the corner, they encountered a giant monster walking towards them.

"This way."

Kui Ran led Kang Qing in a different direction and ran towards Hengfeng Porcelain Shop.

As soon as Kang Qing arrived at the porcelain shop, he saw a familiar figure.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law."

Ding Tianfeng, the owner of Hengfeng Porcelain Shop, slowly turned his head, his face ashen.

This was the first time Kui Ran had seen Ding Tianfeng since she came down the mountain. She had heard from Kang Qing that Ding Tianfeng had recovered from the death of Liu Yulin and was now focused on writing "On Porcelain".

"Don't go there, don't worry about it for now."

Kui Ran knew that she couldn't fight these bodies whose souls had been taken by demons right now; if a war broke out, they would never be able to return.

"Brother-in-law,"

And so, amidst Kang Qing's reluctant cries, Kui Ran pulled her along as they raced out of the city.

Standing in the dilapidated temple on the western outskirts of Jingdezhen,

The sky above Jingdezhen was shrouded in dark clouds, and all sorts of monsters were moving back and forth in the air.

At this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

Kui Ran gently took Kang Qing's hand and said tenderly, "Wait for me to come back."

Kang Qing nodded slightly. She knew this was the responsibility of the demon hunter: "I don't have any ability to help you right now. Be careful. I'll wait for you here. Don't try to be brave."

Kui Ran nodded firmly, then let go of his hand and turned to embark on the road into the city.

Every step he took carried a heavy responsibility; he knew that monsters were rampaging through the city and the people were suffering terribly.

He had to go, to protect those innocent lives, and to protect their homes.

Looking back, Kang Qing's figure appeared so frail beside the dilapidated temple...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The once bustling and prosperous Jingdezhen now presents a heartbreakingly desolate scene after being ravaged by monsters.

The streets were filled with ruins, broken stones and broken wooden beams piled up haphazardly.

The once colorful shop signs are now dilapidated and sway helplessly in the wind.

The doors and windows were smashed to pieces by the monster, with shards of glass scattered all over the ground.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and decay.

The streets were eerily quiet, save for the occasional gust of wind, as if mourning the ruins. After several days of aimless wandering...

Shen Anzhi stumbled and staggered to this spot, looking around at the ruins she had come from.

Her once bright eyes were now dull and lifeless, as if she had lost all hope.

The wind blew gently, lifting her hair, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in her heart.

She gripped the sword tightly in her hand, a sword that once symbolized justice and courage, but now seemed to have lost its luster.

She didn't know where she was going; she just walked mechanically, like a soulless zombie.

suddenly,

Shen Anzhi stopped in his tracks.

She stared blankly up at a blue and white porcelain vase in the attic, which was the porcelain demon Liu Yulin that she had killed.

Looking back on that scene now, she feels how foolish she was.
Even though Liu Yulin had a chance to escape, he still took the initiative to invite her to the Porcelain Palace.
Liu Yulin could have easily defeated her, yet he chose to die; it was all arranged by the spirit snake.

Through his tear-blurred vision, Shen Anzhi seemed to see Liu Yulin waving at him from the attic.

"Ah, help! Help!"

Suddenly, a clear, childlike voice rang out on the quiet street.

It turns out that a little girl escaped a calamity during the day thanks to a talisman given to her by a Taoist priest. She planned to run out of the city when it was quiet at night, but she was discovered by a monster as soon as she removed the invisibility talisman.

Countless bat demons circled and flew around the little girl.

Soon, the little girl seemed to be choked by something, and she floated in mid-air. Then, streams of bat spirits entered her body from her mouth, and no matter how much she struggled, it was to no avail.

In my childhood,

The girl landed gently on the ground, looked at herself strangely, and then revealed an extremely happy smile on her face.

Before leaving, he gave Shen Anzhi, who was standing in the middle of the street in a daze, a disdainful look, as if to say, "You demon hunter, are you stupid?"
The street returned to calm, and Shen Anzhi finally realized what was happening and quickly took a few steps forward to catch up.

They chased after her for several blocks but couldn't find the little girl who had been possessed by the bat demon.
"Tofu, fresh tofu,"

"Tofu, fresh tofu,"

"Tofu, fresh tofu,"

Following the trail to an inn, Shen Anzhi discovered a large tofu stall still operating at night.
"A demon is a demon; no matter how it tries to fit a human soul into a physical form, it can't do it."

Shen Anzhi sat down and placed the sword in his hand heavily on the table.

She picked up the sword later.

The stall owner glanced at Shen Anzhi sideways, his eyes bloodshot.

"Hehe, young lady, why don't you join our demon race?"

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

After Shen Anzhi finished speaking, he drew his sword and stabbed the tofu vendor, who immediately fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a beetle crawled out of the stall owner's mouth and quickly went to find its next host.

To Shen Anzhi's surprise,
It was because her drawing of her sword had drawn the attention of the two demons lurking in the shadows, who then clearly saw the Nine-Coin Demon Exorcist Mark on her arm.

"Go back and report to General Black Python that Shen Anzhi has been found in Jingdezhen."

"She no longer has the Jade Flower Sword. If we eliminate her, it will be a great achievement."

"Didn't you hear what General Black Python said? She is still a Nine-Coin Demon Exorcist. Although she may not have the ability, her rank is high."

"Then I'll go back to the mountain to report first. Don't lose me..."
