I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 40 My Friend Jiang Shen

The saint actually arrived early in the morning.

While Bai Xuan was fighting the mountain spider alone, she stood on a high place and watched.

Her plan was that Bai Xuan looked very young and had not even entered the country, so he was no match for this half-crippled mountain spider. When he was defeated, she would naturally take action and do the young man a favor by saving his life.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xuan killed the mountain spider in just two moves. Strictly speaking, he only used two swords.

The red-robed saint watched with her eyes wide open.

A pair of beautiful willow-shaped eyes were full of surprise and astonishment.

The saint couldn't help but think carefully about the two swords she had just used. She pondered them carefully and was amazed. With her level of cultivation, it was not difficult to replicate Bai Xuan's two swords.

But for those who have no prior cultivation, achieving this is as difficult as asking an elementary school student to calculate the Fourier transform. Just grasping the angle and timing of the sword is extremely difficult, and what is more important is the prediction of the timing of the battle.

Before the young man drew his sword, he had already thought about how to kill the demon, and he completed his plan exactly.

Using the word "genius" to describe this kind of talent is an understatement. This is definitely a rare talent!
Thinking of this, the look in the eyes of the Holy Maiden of the Spiritual Religion changed, becoming one of intense desire.

--want to!
The saint's heart was deeply moved.

What is the most lacking thing in this world?
What a talented person!

The young man in front of her is exactly the talent she has always dreamed of!

Everyone has a heart that loves talented people. Her spiritual sect has been developing for so many years but is still stagnant. Isn't it because it lacks people with appeal? Isn't it because it lacks a backbone?
She is blessed with extraordinary talent, but it is impossible for one person to win the world championship with four pigs!
What she needs is not lazy pigs and obedient dogs, but people, talented people!

Don't even mention murderous intent at this moment.

Even if it was just a bump, she would probably feel distressed.

In my heart, I have already regarded this young man as my own. After all, he is still very young... Whoever is quick to take him home will own him.

Good guys and bad guys...does it matter?

When the Six Paths and Seven Sects existed during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no distinction between good and evil.

"Little sir, come to your sister's bowl."

The smile she showed was very familiar, like the one in the neon book series "Train Girl"...

Bai Xuan held his sword in response and silently retreated to the Wujiang River, expressing his determination to defend his chastity.

Witch, don’t even think about sucking my yang energy!
The Red Saint was somewhat hurt by this attitude. She touched her cheek and said quietly, "Sister, are you so scary? I just want to talk to you. Why are you resisting so much? Look, your arm is injured. You need to bandage it."

"You kill people to silence them during the day, and become a doctor at night?" Bai Xuan didn't believe it at all.

"...You have some misunderstandings about me. I didn't really intend to kill anyone during the day." The Saint Girl was helpless, then patiently said: "Let me introduce myself. I am a member of the Ling Cult. My inheritance comes from the Lingqing Sect, one of the six paths and seven sects in the Spring and Autumn Period. I practice the supreme Lingqing Dao."

Even now, five hundred years later, the Six Paths and Seven Sects are still very impressive, which means that the true inheritance is more than a thousand years old.

A dynasty lasts a hundred years, an aristocratic family lasts five hundred years, and a sect lasts a thousand years.

The Six Paths and Seven Sects refer to six Taoist traditions and seven sects.

Each sect corresponds to a Taoist tradition. As for why there are six paths instead of seven, it is because mitosis occurred within one of the Taoist traditions.

Bai Xuan naturally knew about the Lingqing Sect. This sect had always been rather mysterious.

Lao Tzu said: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs.

Based on this sentence, a faction of the Dao that believes in ruthlessness has developed. Some true practitioners believe that they can get closer to heaven, earth and the Dao by severing their emotions.

The Way of Supreme Spiritual Emotion cultivates the theory of the great way of emotion, which is completely opposite to the "Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotion" which once dominated the mainstream during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Later, almost all of Tai Shang Wangqing's true practice was destroyed, because when they cut off their emotions, there was one difficulty that they could never overcome, and that was life and death.

The Lingqing Sect took a different approach. Although it did not cater to the heavens and the earth, it went further in the way of humanity. The upgrade route of the ruthless way was interrupted, making the Lingqing Sect famous.

The development route of Lingqing Sect is the way of humanity, and its ultimate goal is to become a saint of humanity, which is the same as the goal of the immortals on land.

Theoretically, the Lingqing Sect could have been passed down, so how did it become a "spiritual religion" now?
It seems that the vicissitudes of the past five hundred years have forced the Lingqing Sect to upgrade its version to cater to the changes of the times, but it seems that it is not adapting well to the local conditions.

Bai Xuan was a little curious, but he would not get himself involved because of this curiosity.

The Saint of the Spiritual Sect continued to introduce herself: "I am the Saint of the Spiritual Sect, currently ranked eighth on the Earth Ranking, and my fragrance is exhausted..."

The Book of Repairing the Sky and the List of Earth.

A genuine top-notch Grandmaster... No, being ranked eighth on the Earth Ranking meant that she was not far from the Heavenly Ranking.

Wow, there are so many masters in the entire Northern and Southern Dynasties that you can count them on one’s fingers.

Outrageous...

Bai Xuan wondered if his luck was too bad.

This woman wants to kill me, but I'm afraid I really have no room to resist. I can only withstand three moves at most.

"Don't be nervous, young master. I have no ill will towards you." Fang Fei tried to slow down her tone to make herself seem gentler. She extended her hand and made it clear, "I just want to invite you to join the Spiritual Cult."

Bai Xuan: "No."

Fang Feijin's expression stiffened slightly after being rejected instantly. She then said softly, "Why answer so quickly? The Spiritual Cult has many benefits. No matter what you want, I can give it to you. Cultivation resources, top-level techniques... As long as you join, I can provide them to you."

Bai Xuan said calmly: "I can get it if I go to the capital."

"The Ningguo Mansion and the Juyi Pavilion combined are not even a fraction of the Lingjiao. A thousand-year heritage is not something this upstart can compare to." Fang Fei tried to make amends.

"But it seems that your Ling Sect does not have any masters of the Heavenly Rank." Bai Xuan said in one sentence.

"Even a Heavenly Rank expert is nothing more than an upstart." The Saint Girl snorted, her expression of disdain unmistakable. "Besides, Jiang Shenlong is renowned for his swordsmanship, but you've learned swordsmanship... Besides, would the Ningguo Mansion so easily teach you its unique family secrets?"

She pressed her chest and said seriously, "But my Spiritual Sect has the courage to do this. As long as you join, I will personally teach you the basics of the Supreme Spiritual Affection Technique. How about it?"

Bai Xuan still refused: "Sorry, I don't want to learn."

The Saint choked slightly and frowned, "So what do you want to learn? Or do you want something else?"

"Whatever you want, come to the Spiritual Sect and you'll have it all: gold, silver, status, fame, and beautiful women... The Spiritual Sect has no shortage of beautiful female disciples." Bai Xuan complained, "That's too vulgar."

"Then..." Fang Fei smiled: "What you want is wealth, status and love?"

This sister knows how to package.

Bai Xuan said: "But I refuse."

"Why?" Fang Fei gently nodded her crimson lips: "If it is because of what I did before, I will apologize to you right now."

"I killed Huangfu Qinhu." Bai Xuan said in a certain tone: "He is a member of the Spiritual Sect. The person who came to assassinate Ning Jianshuang before was also a member of the Spiritual Sect."

Fang Fei paused slightly, and silence was also a kind of answer.

This is indeed a fundamental contradiction that cannot be laughed off.

Bai Xuan said calmly, "Huangfu Qinhu killed Jiang Baichuan, and Jiang Baichuan is my master. It is impossible for me to surrender to the Spiritual Sect... Unless the assassin who came for revenge is also dead, will the Saint kill him?"

Fang Fei pursed her lips slightly. He really couldn't be killed... It was a taboo for any force to kill its own people in order to recruit outsiders, which would chill the old man.

Bai Xuan retreated as he gave his verdict: "This is absolutely impossible. I will never join the Spiritual Cult no matter what. Forget it."

Fang Fei tried her best to be humble and show her sincerity, but was rejected again and again, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

The saint bit her lip secretly, wondering why the young man was so difficult to deal with. Should she just capture him without any further ado? Regardless of whether this forced melon was sweet or not, she should just force herself on him first.

But on the other hand, from her point of view, if Bai Xuan was moved to surrender by the benefits thrown out in a few words, she would not appreciate it so much. After all, the Ling Sect is not a place where filth is harbored, and his character also needs to be carefully considered.

The more straightforward Bai Xuan's refusal was, the higher his evaluation in Fang Feijin's heart became, and the deeper her feelings of regret and the urge to abduct him became.

Just when she was hesitating, a slight sound suddenly came from the night on the north bank of the Wujiang River.

The sound was so faint that it was almost negligible.

Some sand and gravel were splashed on the sand at the edge of the river bank.

All you can see are the footprints left on the sand, but you can hardly see the afterimage that is lurking and rushing towards you.

Fang Fei noticed it and quickly shouted, "Stop!"

She wanted to stop it.

But it was too late now.

Protector Gray had been hiding nearby, listening to the conversation between the two. After Bai Xuan said in person that he had killed Huangfu, his murderous intent reached its peak.

If this person really joins the Spiritual Cult, then Grey Protector won't even have the slightest chance of revenge!
He chose to kill the saint right in front of her, before she joined the Spiritual Cult!
At this time, Fang Fei had no way to intercept Protector Hui. She wanted to save people from an assassin who was close to the grandmaster level without hurting the assassin. This was simply impossible.

Unless she could just slap Gray Protector on the back, but given her status, it was impossible for her to attack the Protector of the Spiritual Sect for the life and death of an outsider.

Protector Gray stared at Bai Xuan.

This time, there will be no room for retreat.

A single move determines life or death.

The dagger emitted a sharp cold light.

same moment.

Bai Xuan suddenly made a puzzling move.

He was standing in the river at this time, with his lower body hidden in the water. He leaned back and his whole body submerged in the river, floating towards the river under the suction of the water flow.

Gray Protector's eyes became even colder.

Don’t even think about hiding in the water, even if you hide in the ground, you’re dead!
He stepped on the water and rushed towards the river without hesitation.

A series of splashes of water exploded on the water surface.

The enemy was right in front of him, and the Gray Protector held out the dagger.

In an instant, the true warrior's spiritual sense began to work frantically, like an alarm bell ringing. A sense of foreboding came over him, and the spiritual omen in his heart warned him that danger was approaching.

But he couldn't grasp where this crisis came from.

Until I saw the river water suddenly rise by more than half a meter, and a huge black object with shimmering light rising from the Wujiang River.

boom--!
The river water was stirred up into waves several feet high.

Amidst the rippling water, a huge snake tail rose from the water and accurately swept the gray guardian who was walking on the water and flying in the air.

Hit a beautiful home run!
The Gray Protector came rushing over and returned at an extremely fast speed. His body turned into a spiral in mid-air, and a large amount of blood spurted out from his acupoints all over his body, like a water bag filled with water with countless holes.

With just one strike, his life force was almost completely destroyed.

Wow…

The river water surged to the river bank, and Bai Xuan walked slowly along the river.

The Gray Protector fell to the ground, vomiting blood and breathing weakly. He opened his eyes and looked at Bai Xuan and the huge monster that appeared behind him with blurry vision.

The giant black-scaled python coiled its body in the river, revealing its sharp fangs.

The Wujiang Snake King raised his head and roared, his roar spreading over a radius of dozens of miles, startling countless birds and beasts.

Fang Fei couldn't help but take two steps back, a look of fear on her face.

She had thought Bai Xuan had already run out of ideas, but it turned out he still had a backup plan. This young man...

Bai Xuan stroked his wet hair with his fingers, and a small snake on his shoulder followed suit, spitting out its tongue in a threatening manner.

"introduce."

"This is the Lord of Wujiang, the Snake King Wuyou."

"An ordinary Jiang Shen friend of mine."
