After receiving Ye Yang’s instructions, Yan Qingying hurried away.

The mountain wind was angry, roaring past like thousands of horses galloping.

Yan Qingying steadily controlled the Flying Deer Taoist soldier, like a nimble black lightning, breaking through the clouds and mist, and galloping forward.

She held the secret letter tightly in her hand, wishing she could finish it faster.

Although the letter was just a light piece of paper, it felt as heavy as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

Before leaving, Ye Yang’s serious and enjoining words still echoed clearly in her ears.

“This letter must be delivered personally to the head of the Taixu Dao Sect…”

The Flying Deer Taoist soldiers walked lightly in the air, and every time they landed, they left traces of light golden light in the white clouds, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Yan Qingying’s black hair fluttered freely in the wind, and the bright cinnabar between her eyebrows looked even more dazzling during her rapid flight.

She looked back nervously from time to time, but she didn’t know why, the closer she got to the territory of Taixu Taoist Sect, the more a strong sense of uneasiness spread in her heart.

She always felt that in the deep darkness, there was a pair of cold eyes closely watching her every move.

“Faster, faster…”

She patted Feilu’s neck anxiously, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

At this moment, the Feilu Taoist soldiers under her feet seemed to feel Yan Qingying’s urgency.

Several flying deer let out long cries, and suddenly stretched out a pair of huge wings on both sides, trying hard to increase their speed. The wind whistled even more violently in their ears.

Finally, the magnificent mountain gate of Taixu Taoist Sect became faintly visible in the distance.

Seventy-two suspended fairy mountains surround the main peak like stars surrounding the moon, with brilliant rays of light and auspicious aura, creating a majestic aura.

Yan Qingying breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

However, at this moment, something strange happened!
Five sharp black rays like black lightning suddenly shot out from the rolling clouds below, aiming directly at Yan Qingying’s abdomen.

Yan Qingying’s pupils suddenly shrank, and she pulled the reins almost instinctively. Feilu reacted quickly, raising its front hooves high and narrowly avoiding the fatal sneak attack.

“who!”

She shouted angrily, and the clear sound echoed in the empty sky.

His right hand quickly pressed on the sword sheath at his waist, his eyes full of vigilance and anger.

In response to her, there were cold and strange laughter coming from all directions.

The thick clouds were rolling violently, and seven monks in black robes slowly appeared. Each of them had a hideous and terrifying demon head embroidered on their chest, exuding a creepy aura.

“People from the demon clan!”

Yan Qingying’s heart tightened and her face turned pale in an instant.

She never expected that these demon monks would be so bold as to set up an ambush in front of the mountain gate of Taixu Taoist Sect!
The black-robed leader slowly lifted his hood, revealing a face as pale as paper. The hideous scar on his right eye seemed like an evil mark left by the years.

“Little girl, if you know what’s best for you, hand over the things and I can give you a quick death.”

Yan Qingying sneered.

“Want it? Then come and get it yourself!”

Before she finished speaking, she decisively slapped the sword sheath, and three cold stars shot out like meteors. After a while, the cold stars spun like sword balls, and quickly grew bigger against the wind, turning into a three-foot green blade. With a piercing scream, it was like a green lightning, going straight for the throat of the man in black robe.

“Stubborn!”

The man in black robe shouted angrily, and a bone shield emitting a sinister aura flew out from his sleeve, barely blocking Jian Wan’s attack.

The sound of metal clashing was deafening and sparks flew everywhere.

At the same time, the other six demon cultivators also attacked at the same time, and all kinds of sinister magical weapons came like meteors filling the sky.

Yan Qingying remained calm in the face of danger, quickly made hand gestures with her left hand, and muttered something.

The Flying Deer Taoist soldier roared towards the sky, and a dazzling golden halo condensed between his horns, turning into a solid shield that tightly protected her.

“boom!”

The magic weapon hit the shield heavily, and the golden halo shook violently, but it still stubbornly did not break.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Yan Qingying’s mouth, and her face turned as pale as paper, but she endured the pain and forced her spiritual power to maintain the stability of the shield.

The sword gestures in his right hand kept changing, and the three flying swords drew mysterious and graceful trajectories in the air, forming a powerful sword formation.

“Beast Demon Sword Formation, kill!”

She let out a cry, her voice clear and powerful.

The sword light, carrying a ferocious demonic aura, poured down like a waterfall.

A demon cultivator who was unable to dodge had his right arm cut off on the spot. He let out a miserable scream, and his body fell into the clouds like a kite with a broken string.

Yan Qingying took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy. The flying deer suddenly rushed forward, and its iron hooves stepped towards the chest of another demon cultivator with a sharp sound of wind.

“boom!”

The defensive magic weapon that the demon cultivator hastily summoned was crushed to pieces under the iron hooves of the flying deer. His sternum caved in, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He vomited blood and flew backwards.

Seeing that the situation did not develop as he expected, the black-robed leader was filled with rage and shouted loudly.

“Set up the Seven Evil Soul Locking Formation!”

The moment the words fell.

The sound was like muffled thunder, carrying endless anger and unwillingness.

The remaining five demon cultivators reacted extremely quickly, changing their formations rapidly and taking their positions. Their movements were in perfect unison, as if they had rehearsed them countless times.

Then, they threw out black chains in their hands. The chains twisted and spun in the air, like ferocious poisonous snakes, carrying a sinister aura, and coiled towards Yan Qingying.

Yan Qingying dodged with all her might, her figure moving as nimble as a swallow in the air.

However, one of the chains was extremely tricky and brushed past her left shoulder.

In an instant, a chilling and piercing breath penetrated her meridians like a sharp blade.

“Uh……”

She couldn’t help but groan, her brows furrowed, a look of pain on her face.

But even so, the sword moves in her hand did not stop at all, and the three flying swords under her control circled and protected her body like nimble dragons.

The sword blade flashed with a cold light and cut the approaching chain into several pieces. The broken chains fell like black snakes.

The Flying Deer Taoist soldier also sensed the danger facing his master. Its eyes turned red, and it kicked and charged like crazy, its four hooves creating gusts of wind.

Upon seeing this, the black-robed leader sneered, his smile full of disdain and cruelty: “It’s just a fight between trapped beasts!”

After saying that, he suddenly bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood mist onto the bone shield in his hand.

Suddenly, the hideous skull pattern on the shield seemed to be injected with life and suddenly came alive.

Wherever the black fog passed, the light of the three flying swords quickly dimmed, as if their light was blocked by a black curtain.

Yan Qingying was shocked when she saw this and hurriedly recalled Jianwan.

However, when the sword pill returned to her hands, she found that it had been contaminated by black mist, and its movement was sluggish, no longer as agile as before.

“die!”

The man in black robe seized the opportunity and slapped his palm fiercely. A hideous ghost face appeared on his palm. The ghost face seemed to come from the underworld, carrying a terrifying aura that captivated people.

At the critical moment, Yan Qingying suddenly made up her mind, slapped Feilu’s back and shouted loudly: “Explode!”

The Flying Deer Taoist soldier seemed to understand his master’s intention. He let out a mournful cry and his whole body was shining with golden light, like a dazzling sun.

Then, it exploded with a loud bang, and the violent spiritual power rushed in all directions like a surging wave, instantly dispersing the thick black fog.

The five demon cultivators were also blown dozens of feet away by this powerful spiritual energy, tumbling in the air like kites with broken strings.

“Little bitch!”

The black-robed leader rushed out from the aftermath of the explosion in tattered clothes, his face distorted and hideous. “I will extract your soul and refine your spirit, making it impossible for you to live or die!”

At this moment, a clear sword sound resounded through the sky, like the sound of nature, but with endless majesty.

“How dare you, you evil demon!”

Following an angry roar, a white rainbow instantly arrived from the direction of Taixu Taoist Gate.

The white rainbow was like a flash of lightning, extremely fast. Where the sword light passed, the man in black robe let out a scream, and his entire right arm was broken at the shoulder, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

“People from the Taixu Dao Sect! Retreat!”

The injured demon cultivators were horrified when they saw this.

They were well aware of the power of the Taixu Taoist sect, so they all turned into black smoke and quickly fled, as if they were afraid that they would lose their lives if they were a step slower.

Yan Qingying tried to open her eyes wide and saw an old man in a white robe walking towards her with a sword.

“Daoyou, hold on!”

After the old man in white robe arrived, he bent over to check her injuries with a serious expression.

“Such a strong evil spirit. You are suffering.”

Yan Qingying opened her mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood. She seemed to have guessed the identity of the person who came and began to speak.

“May I ask if Senior Bai Hong is here? I am Yan Qingying from Feitian Sect and have received a secret order from Daozu Ye to deliver this letter to the head of Taixu Dao Sect.”

“So you are the leader of the Taoist soldiers of Feitian Sect. Don’t worry, Taoist friend. Sect Leader Yuqingzi is in the sect. Just follow me.”

After saying this, he turned and shouted to his disciples.

“Quickly activate the mountain protection formation and search the surrounding area for a hundred miles. We must not let the demons escape! You, go and get the Nine-Transformation Jade Soul Pill to heal Fellow Daoist Yan!”

A disciple took the order and left.

Taoist Baihong carefully picked up Yan Qingying, rode the sword light, and flew towards the main peak of Taixu Taoist Sect. The cultivators of Taixu Taoist Sect nearby were talking about the matter.

“He is the Taoist soldier leader of Feitianmen. I didn’t expect that he was injured so badly.”

“…How dare those demons act so arrogantly in front of my mountain gate? This is really too much!”

“…If what is mentioned in this letter is true, then the conspiracy of the demon clan is not small.”

……

But Yan Qingying fainted.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Qingying felt a warm current flowing into her limbs, like the warm sun in winter, warming her body.

She opened her eyes with difficulty and found herself lying in a plain and elegant quiet room, covered with a soft and comfortable quilt embroidered with Tai Chi patterns.

“woke up?”

A gentle voice came. She turned her head and saw an old man in a Taoist robe, with white hair and a celestial appearance, sitting beside the bed, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, looking at her gently.

“Junior greets Senior Yu Qingzi… Senior…”
