At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

The next day, early in the morning.

The sun peeked out from the horizon, awakening the Qinghe County city from its slumber.

Mu Yang led Xiao Hei slowly to the city gate.

The people of the Fenshui Sect had already gathered at the city gate.

"senior!"

Hao Ben waved excitedly when he saw Mu Yang.

Although Mu Yang's battle in the blessed land yesterday shocked many people and made many people feel awe towards Mu Yang.

But this does not include Hao Ben.

Even after witnessing Mu Yang's battle, he felt that the Fen Shui sword in his hand was not cool enough, and he even wanted to switch to practicing fist techniques.

"They're here."

Lei Xing, who was standing at the very front of the Fenshui Sect, greeted Mu Yang.

Beside her stood a snow-white steed more than twice her height, its mane gleaming with a fine silver light in the morning glow.

Judging from his aura, he is at least at the fourth rank.

As for the others, they were all driving first or second-tier BMWs.

To be precise, only Di Ren and Hao Ben, who were at the fifth rank, rode second-rank steeds; the rest were only at the first rank.

Even a BMW of this caliber doesn't belong to them; it's just a temporary mode of transportation provided by the sect.

Only Lei Xing's horse belonged to her personally.

This demonstrates the scarcity of high-end BMWs.

It's worth mentioning that Xiao Hei was fed some tiger blood by Mu Yang yesterday, and is now at the second-stage perfection, just one step away from the third stage.

This is because Xiao Hei's digestive ability is too weak. It can't digest too much food. Otherwise, the tiger blood from yesterday would have been enough to help it break through to the third rank.

Little Black: Stop stuffing me, Master, I really can't eat anymore!

"Now that everyone's here, let's set off."

Lei Xing lightly touched the ground with his feet and landed gracefully on the snow-white steed, as did Hao Ben, Di Ren, and the others.

Mu Yang also climbed over and sat on Xiao Hei's back.

After mounting their horses, the group traveled together along the official road.

Anshun County is located northwest of Qinghe County, separated only by a mountain and a river.

The mountain is named Lishi Mountain, and the river is named Huiyan River.

Like the Sancha River, the Huiyan River is also a tributary of the Qingshui River.

It is said that this river got its name because a powerful seventh-tier gray goose demon once occupied that area of ​​water for a long time.

Of course, that was a long time ago.

After all, powerful demons who have made a name for themselves are usually the focus of the Demon Slayer Bureau.

Once targeted by the Demon Slayer Division, the consequences are predictable.

According to Lei Xing, the one who killed that great gray goose demon was Gu Changkong, the current Demon Suppressor of Anling Prefecture and Yuan Yin's senior brother.

"The monster we're dealing with this time is a sixth-tier snake demon, but it's not an ordinary snake demon. It's a mirage serpent that's proficient in illusion and water magic," Lei Xing said to Mu Yang on the way.

About two months ago, the mirage serpent suddenly appeared in a deep pool within the territory of the Fenshui Sect.

At first, the mirage serpent would only leave the deep pool at midnight and secretly eat people in the villages near the Fenshui Sect.

Initially, upon learning that someone had gone missing in the village, the Fenshui Sect assumed it was the work of a minor demon and only dispatched inner disciples with third or fourth-level cultivation to descend the mountain to subdue the demon.

However, as the disciples who had gone down the mountain had been missing for many days, the Fenshui Sect immediately took the matter seriously and dispatched a personal disciple with a fifth-level cultivation level to lead the team.

As a result, there was still no news for seven consecutive days.

Upon realizing that the demon was quite powerful, the sect leader Fei Wei immediately dispatched his eldest disciple, Huang Jingchen, who had already opened his first body aperture and broken through to the sixth level, to investigate.

Finally, after three days, Huang Jingchen discovered the mirage's trail.

Perhaps due to his several successful encounters, the mirage serpent did not use its full strength when it met Huang Jingchen. In addition, Huang Jingchen was lucky and had once picked up a low-grade magic weapon that could resist attacks on the soul.

Although the magic weapon was incomplete, it still helped Huang Jingchen successfully neutralize most of the power of the Mirage Serpent Illusion.

Therefore, he successfully returned alive and brought the news back to the sect.

Upon learning of this, Fei Wei, the sect leader of the Fenshui Sect, was greatly alarmed. He immediately led a team, along with Huang Jingchen and the Supreme Elder Lei Xing, to attack the location of the mirage serpent.

They originally thought that mobilizing all the sixth-level warriors of the Fenshui Sect would be enough to defeat the Mirage Serpent.

As a result, facing the mirage serpent that skillfully used illusions and water magic, and relied on the deep pool to attack and retreat at will, not only did they fail to harm it, but Huang Jingchen was also severely injured.

Fortunately, there were three of them, so the mirage snake didn't dare to leave the pool to pursue them easily, which prevented Huang Jingchen from getting into trouble.

Seeing that the Fenshui Sect alone could not defeat the Mirage Serpent, Fei Wei wanted to ask the Demon Slayer Bureau for help. However, upon asking, he discovered that Fu Yu, the Demon Slayer Bureau Chief of Anshun County, was still out.

Left with no other choice, Fei Wei sent Lei Xing to Qinghe County to participate in the Fudi election, while also seeking assistance.

"Actually, it would be fine if that mirage serpent only knew water magic. Although its water magic was quite powerful due to the deep pool, it was only at the mid-stage of the sixth rank."

"But that mirage serpent also possesses considerable illusionary skills. Even my senior brother, who has opened three spiritual apertures, would be distracted for a moment if he fell for it, let alone me, who has only opened one spiritual aperture," Lei Xing said with a sense of helplessness.

Martial artists primarily focus on honing their skills, strengthening their bodies, and refining their blood and internal energy.

Only a very small number of martial arts techniques may involve illusions of the soul.

Even if it is involved, it requires the cultivator to have excellent spiritual talent; otherwise, they simply cannot cultivate it.

This often puts martial artists at a disadvantage when facing demons who are adept at using their souls for attacks.

Not to mention that this mirage serpent not only possesses illusion magic, but also lives deep in the pool below, so even the people of the Water Dividing Sect, who are skilled in water, can only look at it with envy.

In other words, the Fenshui Sect has three sixth-level martial artists. If there were only one, it probably wouldn't be enough for the Mirage Serpent to kill.

"In short, this mirage serpent is extremely powerful and cunning. Although we are both skilled in naval warfare, we must be extremely careful when facing it," Lei Xing instructed.

Mu Yang nodded.

A demon that excels at soul attacks? That's wonderful!

"By the way, can we stop for a little while up ahead?" Mu Yang suddenly asked.

Lei Xing asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing serious, just killing a monster on the side." Mu Yang pointed to the map in front of him.

That was a map marking the monsters that was found in the Pingwei Escort Agency.

Last time he did a mission, he went to the southwest, south and southeast regions.

The Anshun County we are going to this time is in the northwest.

The route will pass by several locations marked with monsters.

Although its rank is not high, it is only third rank.

But even a small mosquito is still meat, so even if we don't use it as equipment, it's still good to feed Little Black.

Upon hearing Mu Yang's reason, Lei Xing blinked, seemingly somewhat bewildered.

You mean, you, a martial artist with sixth-tier combat power, are going to cause trouble for some third-tier demons?

No, do you really love killing demons that much?

Lei Xing was quite surprised.

But I didn't pay much attention to it, since it wouldn't take up much of my time anyway.
