I'm Ximen Qing, living in a ghost story!

"Miss Yan'er! You really have no dignity at all!"

Ximen Qing watched the figure leave without looking back and cursed inwardly.

His signature black robe, coupled with his familiar demonic power.

He hadn't forgotten that fleeting glimpse of Changting Village before; this was the fox demon!

However, the other party was still too calm. Even though such a big thing happened in Yunxiang Tower, he was still able to sit still and act calmly!

As expected of a demon who could withstand Yan Chixia's pursuit, she's troublesome!

Their target is still Miss Changting, and that shouldn't change!

Everyone in the city knew that Miss Changting lived in his mansion, and this was not difficult to find out.

Ximen Qing originally planned to play the long game, luring the fox demon into his trap, and then work together with Zhou Qingyun to suppress her.

Unexpectedly, he discovered the fox demon's hiding place in just one day. The situation changed unpredictably, and all his previous plans became obstacles.

Now, the fox spirit has moved to a new home.

With Zhou Qingyun, Nie Xiaoqian, and other members of the Ximen family at home, safety wasn't an issue; at least Zhou Qingyun could hold off the attackers!

But... I'm afraid that the fox demon has accomplices!

Facing the cold night wind, Ximen Qing's hand kept groping on the railing. He had to admit that he had lost his composure.

It wasn't just because of weighing the strengths of both sides, but also because of the divination he received before leaving home.

Although it's not an inauspicious hexagram, a "neutral hexagram" is enough to explain a lot.

In the past, the monsters he fought... or rather, the enemies he chose, were all ones he was somewhat confident about.

Even the monk Qing'an he encountered at the city gate was only one level higher than him.

However, Ximen Qing had never directly confronted this fox demon before, and was still unaware of its strength.

Although the other side doesn't dare to confront us directly, who knows if that bastard is just showing weakness?

And what if the other party has helpers?

Just then, a loud shout rang out from below:

"Is that an immortal sage above? Could it be that he has found clues about the demon? Does he need our help?"

State soldiers and constables always arrived at the last minute.

Leading the group was General Hu Fen, who worked around the clock. He was yawning repeatedly, but still staring intently into the Yunxiang Tower with his big eyes.

They quickly spotted a familiar face standing on the rooftop.

Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, General Hu jogged downstairs and shouted out the words he had just uttered.

Ximen Qing hesitated for a moment, then took a running start and jumped off the building.

Amidst the gasps of the onlookers below, who covered their mouths in astonishment, she ran down the building like an acrobat, landing in front of General Hu.

Before Hu Fen could speak, Ximen Qing immediately said:

"General Hu, there's no time to lose. We should leave the city immediately and request the assistance of the Shi family, a renowned demon-hunting clan outside the city!"

Although the fox demon is strong, the Shi family was able to successfully force it back last time, which shows that they are capable. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, call them all over.

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

Looking at Ximen Qing's expression, Hu Fen nodded firmly, then rushed towards the city gate without looking back. This was the third time Hu Fen had taken this route in the past few days.

"Fine, let's give it a shot! What if we succeed?"

Watching Hu Fen's departing figure, Ximen Qing gritted his teeth, disregarded the depletion of his magical power, and rushed towards the direction of Lianye Temple.

He then opened his system panel and looked at his remaining fifteen soul points.

The points you save are used at this time!

"Fifteen consecutive pulls, used them all!"

In an instant, golden light shot out and rushed towards them.

……

Originally Lianye Temple, now Ximen Mansion.

Changting suddenly opened his eyes, his fox tail stood on end, and he sprang up from the bed as if his fur had been bristled.

Overwhelmed with grief over Hongting's situation, she was drifting off to sleep when a familiar yet terrifying force returned!

"It's him! It's him!"

The tail of the long pavilion thrashed wildly.

Shi Zhipu, who was decocting medicine, quickly came to her side, put his arm around his fiancée's shoulder, and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

"Apu, that's him, he's here!"

Changting finally managed to control his trembling and regain some composure before he couldn't help but speak slowly and deliberately.

"he?!"

This time, Shi Zhipu finally realized what was happening.

With Changting by his side, he grabbed the long knife and clubs from beside the bed and rushed out of the room.

They didn't dare stop for a moment, heading towards the underground passage behind the main hall.

That's where Zhou Qingyun went into seclusion.

In the courtyard, Simon was gathering a group of servants to set rules and reason with the newly hired servants.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Mr. and Mrs. Shi Zhipu hurrying along and was about to ask them a question.

Suddenly, Hua Baoyan, who was beside him, tackled him to the ground.

boom!

A shooting star fell from the sky!

Gravel and rubble splattered everywhere, and blood seeped out from the center of the ground.

The densely packed crowd, ironically, became a striking marker when the fox demon landed.

As the smoke cleared, the gaunt figure stepped over the shards of flesh on the ground and slowly rose to his feet. This time, his black robe did not cover his entire body.

Instead, it revealed his pale, lifeless, handsome face.

He took a deep breath, his gaze passing over the "unrelated" people in front of him and landing on Changting.

"That's right, it's that aura, Ah Wu, I haven't let you down! Thirty-six years have passed, and I'm finally able to see you again!"

A gentle breeze lifted the black robe covering the fox demon, and the next moment, a wisp of green smoke dissipated.

Peng!

Shi Zhipu held his staff and sword in a cross shape to protect himself, but he only felt a tremendous force coming at him.

A fan-shaped shockwave emanated from his body and shot out from behind him.

The stone floor of Lianye Temple exploded instantly, and Shi Zhipu was sent flying, unconscious.

"Ah Wu, your taste has declined. Although you haven't fully recovered your memories, the old you wouldn't have chosen such a naive young man."

The fox demon Bai Heng walked up to the pavilion, extended his hand, and spoke.

Changting took a few steps back, her face filled with undisguised disgust, and said, "I am not A-Wu!"

"No! You are!"

Bai Heng abruptly interrupted her, his face filled with infatuation, as if trying to convince himself, and murmured:

"You carry her scent, she carries a part of her soul and spirit within you, how could you not be her! You must be her!"

Whoosh!

An arrow flew in.

Bai Heng ignored it; the arrow landed a foot in front of him, unable to advance an inch.

He lifted it up casually.

The immense magical power surged back, sending the arrow flying in the direction it had come from.

More powerful, faster!

"what!"

Hua Baoyan clutched her shoulder; if it weren't for the [Liu Gao's Cloak] she was wearing, worth four soul points, she would probably be injured by now.

"Fuck your ancestors! How dare you hit my man!"

At this moment, a bear-like figure, clad in airtight infantry armor, charged out and attacked the fox demon.

Every step made the earth tremble.

"The power of mortals! Insignificant!"

Bai Heng gave a soft snort.

Without turning his head, a massive amount of demonic power surged from his body, transforming into a surging wave that sent Ximen Da flying far away, embedding him in the wall.

"Now that everyone in the way has been dealt with, we can finally leave. Let's go back to Mount Tai! I'll help you remember everything, A-Wu. Let's stay together one more time, okay?"

Bai Heng looked at the pavilion in front of him, his face filled with undisguised infatuation.

"Go to hell!"

Changting took a deep breath and raised the hand that had been hidden behind his back; it was a short dagger.

The white horizontal line changed color slightly.

Not because of what's in front of me, but because of what's behind me—

"You fiend, prepare to die!!!"

The sword transforms into countless forms, azure chains and purple lightning!!!

Dozens of sword energies from the mother and child swords, carrying thunder dragons, rushed in to kill!
