“Whoosh!”

Just then, Chu Xianyu made her move.

With her bare hand gripping the Cangbi Ancient Sword, she soared into the air.

Her wrist flicked, and a dazzling green light shot out. Han Ye couldn’t see the sword-play before a fearsome sword radiance shimmered past.

Seemingly unadorned and simple, its force was unparalleled, as though nothing could withstand its power.

Han Ye suddenly realized something and shouted, “Qing Li, retreat!”

But it was too late.

During Qing Li’s fight with the demon cultivator, a feeling of unease bubbled up inside her, a sensation unique to the Fox Immortal Clan.

She quickly threw up her guard, ceasing her atttack.

“Scared now?”

The demon cultivator found that this demon fox was extremely difficult to deal with. Seeing her retreat, he laughed arrogantly.

But as his laughter pealed out, it froze on his face.

Because he realized an intensely terrible sword qi streak of light was attacking him.

In the blink of an eye, it had reached his face; all ectoplasm was reduced to ashes. Under the onslaught of the sword qi, his body began to slowly dissipate, and his soul involuntarily trembled.

The Ghost Hand Seal was supposed to have already taken form.

“Boom!”

After issuing her sword attack, Chu Xianyu calmly sheathed her sword.

Han Ye’s eyes widened. That sword had just whizzed past him, sending gusts of wind to whip up his hair, a power that was, truly, difficult to describe.

Was it the sword that was strong, or the person wielding it?

After that sword, the purple light cluster fell once again!

Attributes Acquired: Sword Art Mastery +3′

Han Ye picked up the attribute. Looking at the deep pit in the alley, traces of the demon cultivator who had been vaporized into a mist of blood by sword qi were all gone. He turned to Chu Xianyu and asked,

“What is this move called?”

“It has no name.”

Chu Xianyu said calmly.

“Then what’s the sword’s name?”

“Forbidden Sword, Cangbi.”

With the death of the black-robed demon cultivator, the Soul Suppressing Banner fell to the ground and the surrounding ectoplasm dissipated into nonexistence.

Han Ye simply stepped forward, picked up the Soul Suppressing Banner, and upon doing so, felt an eerie chill through his fingers and an unknown sensation in his heart.

This had to be the demon cultivator’s magic treasure, an object of nefarious nature. Han Ye saw the ancient characters inscribed on the banner and immediately identified it as the Soul Suppressing Banner.

Again, he turned over the soil on the ground, and amid the filthy blood, he dug out a sparkling object.

It was the demon cultivator’s Storage Ring.

Han Ye’s face lit up with joy. This was a great find.

If he could snatch up some Spirit Stones or the like, wouldn’t he have hit the jackpot?

But then he discovered that he seemed to be unable to open the Storage Ring just yet and thought to ask for help back at the sect.

“Young Master, this banner is a Soul Nurturing Device,” Tushan Qingli piped up to say.

Han Ye frowned at her words, “Are you suggesting to nurture a spirit inside it? I’m afraid there are many resentful spirits and ghouls within it already.”

“I don’t mind. They’re not a match for me. Besides, with the demon cultivator’s death and lack of nourishment from his magic power, the ghostly spirits inside won’t last long in there. If left in there, they would only starve to death.”

Chu Xianyu looked at the fox on Han Ye’s shoulder, and struck by the exchange between them, asked, “Is this white fox raised by you?”

Turning around, Han Ye admitted, “Something like that.”

Chu Xianyu took a clear look at them and then spoke evenly, “I see you’re always hiding her. You’ve been so good to her, is it possible that you…”

“No way. You’re overthinking.”

Han Ye, speechless, dodged her gaze and flatly denied it.

“Why do you act so sneaky?”

“Well, I’m afraid the sect leader will find out.”

Chu Xianyu slowly nodded, her expression softening somewhat, and asked,

“Has your white fox ever hurt anyone?”

“I don’t think so.”

Han Ye glanced uncertainly at the little fox, as if hoping she would say something.

There was a hint of apprehension in Tushan Qingli’s gaze towards Chu Xianyu, but she spoke earnestly,

“I, Tushan, come from one of the Four Great Ancient Tribes, I belong to the Fox Immortal Lineage. I am not a wild fox from the mountains who harms people. My mother was guided to start her cultivation by the abbot of the Great Jin Fan Temple. I grew up listening to Buddhist chants and have absorbed a significant amount of the Human Race’s luck, which makes me a part of them.”

“I followed Brother Han in order to repay this luck and aid in his journey to immortality.”

Chu Xianyu said calmly, “If that’s the case, you can petition the Dragon Sparrow Sect for title and live openly within the sect.”

“Petition for title?”

Han Ye was taken aback. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

Chu Xianyu patiently explained, “Asking for a title does not mean conferring status on a demon. It’s a qualification given by the sect to virtuous demons to allow them to live among humans. Even the human world’s kingdom must recognize and accept the ordainment from the sect. This is equivalent to having official citizenship recognized by the sect.”

“If you want to bring her openly into the sect, the only way is to ask for a title for her.”

“The right to confer a title is held only by sects above the Blessed Land level. The Dragon Sparrow Sect has this privilege, but before that, you need to be approved by the Main Peak’s elders.”

“If she is granted a title in the future, you will be the one to shoulder the responsibility. If anything were to go astray, capital punishment would be the first consideration.”

“I understand.”

Han Ye nodded, gaining a preliminary understanding of petitioning for a title.

“Unfortunately, we cannot afford to stay here any longer.”

Chu Xianyu looks regretfully at the faintly bright Xuan Qiong. She had set out merely to have some fun, only to run into this kind of situation.

“The appearance of a demon cultivator in the town is suspicious. It must be reported to the sect.”
