How Rumors Spread

"Fairy! You smell so good!"

Jiang Chuan looked at the young woman before him, almost blurting it out.

The maiden wore blue and looked about seventeen or eighteen. Her breathtaking beauty was like the most perfect masterpiece from the heavens, impossible to find any flaws.

Combined with her skin as fair as snow, her figure that undulated like mountains and rivers, and the fresh, sweet fragrance emanating from her body.

Just standing there, she was like a blooming immortal flower, intoxicating to behold.

As Jiang Chuan sized up the maiden, a peculiar sensation arose within him.

Hunger!

So hungry!

Jiang Chuan felt as if he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights. He was desperate to 'devour' the maiden before him.

"What's going on? Why would I have such a thought?"

Jiang Chuan, snapping back to reality, felt a chill run down his spine.

While Jiang Chuan was appraising her, the maiden was also appraising him.

"Fellow Buddhist Daoist, excuse me, do you know how to get to Ant Hill?"

"Ant Hill?"

Jiang Chuan recalled the map of the Underground Abyss he had obtained from Qu Changhe's storage bag.

"Go south for three thousand li from here, and you'll reach Ant Hill."

"Thank you so much. These days, all the Earth Demon race and human cultivators I've encountered have wanted to kill me. You're the first person to answer my question."

The maiden said excitedly, "Daoist friend, you're truly a good person."

Jiang Chuan: "."

Maiden, can you please stop casually handing out 'good person' cards?

It's true I'm a good person, but you don't have to say it out loud!

Immediately, Jiang Chuan's mind flashed back to the dismembered limbs he'd seen along the way.

An absurd thought surfaced in his mind.

"You're too kind, Fairy. I am Jiang Chuan from Bodhi Temple. May I know which sect's disciple you are?"

"Daoist Jiang, my name is Lu Chenling. I am a disciple of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect."

After receiving the confirmation from Lu Chenling, Jiang Chuan was slightly taken aback, then showed disbelief.

The maiden before him was even more beautiful and pure than the fairies of the immortal sects.

No matter how he looked at it, Jiang Chuan couldn't believe this maiden was from the demonic path!

She was the number one prodigy of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect, the Seven Kill Demoness!

"Daoist Jiang, what's wrong?" Lu Chenling blinked her large eyes.

"I just didn't expect you, Fairy, to be the Seven Kill Demoness."

Jiang Chuan said with genuine admiration, "Fairy Lu is more beautiful and pure than the immortal path fairies; it truly doesn't seem like you're from the demonic path."

"My father says my mother is the Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace, so it's normal that I don't seem like I'm from the demonic path," Lu Chenling replied.

"The Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace..." Jiang Chuan's heart trembled.

The Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace, one of the Seven Immortal Sects, actually had a daughter!

Remember, Taixu Immortal Palace strictly forbade disciples from marrying!

And the Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace had a daughter!

If this news got out, the entire Qingyuan Realm would likely be shaken!

"Fortunately, this is just a simulation."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan's desire for gossip burned fiercely again.

"Fairy Lu, if I may be so bold, who is your father?"

"My father's name is Lu Jinglin. He is the Sect Master of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect," Lu Chenling replied.

"The Sect Master of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect and the Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace have a daughter together!"

Cold sweat streamed down Jiang Chuan's forehead. He felt as if eight flying swords could pierce through him at any moment.

Or perhaps he would be slapped to death by the Sect Master of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect, who would then leave behind a sentence:

"Brat, you know too many secrets!"

"Fairy Lu, your father didn't come to the Underground Abyss, did he?"

"No, he didn't."

Lu Chenling shook her head. "However, my father left me a talisman. As long as I crush it, he can come here at any time. Daoist Jiang, if you need anything from my father, I can call him over right now."

"Don't crush it! Please, don't crush it!"

Jiang Chuan quickly spoke up to stop him, "No, I'm not looking for your father for anything."

"Since fellow daoist Jiang isn't looking for my father for anything, then I shall take my leave."

As Lu Chenling spoke, she got up and prepared to head towards Ant Hill.

Jiang Chuan's eyes twitched slightly.

"Fairy Lu."

"Yes, fellow daoist Jiang, do you have something else?"

"No."

"Then why are you calling me?"

"You're going the wrong way. Ant Hill is to the south. Your current direction is north."

Jiang Chuan never expected that Lu Chenling in front of him was actually directionally challenged!

"Thank you, fellow daoist Jiang, for the reminder." Lu Chenling quickly thanked him.

The Asura he imagined was powerful, bloodthirsty, and cunning.

The Asura in reality was not only beautiful and polite, but also completely lost!

"Fairy Lu, are you really the Seven Kill Demoness?" Jiang Chuan couldn't help but feel that the young girl in front of him had nothing to do with a demoness.

Lu Chenling nodded gently.

"I don't know why, but I seem to have a kind of demonic power that makes living beings who get close to me want to devour me. Over time, I was called the Seven Kill Demoness by my fellow disciples."

Demoness.

"Then what's the deal with the rumors that you used Asuras to practice your sword?"

"I couldn't find Ant Hill, so I asked the Asura Demons for directions. As soon as they saw me, they wanted to kill me."

Lu Chenling stomped her foot, annoyed. "I counter-attacked and killed quite a few Asura Demons, but the remaining ones didn't know where Ant Hill was either."

"Since the Asura Demons didn't know where Ant Hill was, I figured an Asura would know. So, I had the Asura Demons call an Asura over."

"As soon as that Asura saw me, it said it wanted to eat me. Naturally, I wouldn't let it, so we started fighting."

Jiang Chuan: "."

This was the so-called practicing sword with an Asura?

Fairy Yu Yang, this is completely different from what you told me!

Can we please stop spreading false information next time?

[To foster a better relationship, you decide to escort Lu Chenling to Ant Hill.]

[Lu Chenling, aware of her poor sense of direction, readily agrees.]

[Along the way, you encounter numerous Earth Demons.]

[Under the siege of numerous Earth Demons, you witness the Seven Kill Sword of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect.]

[The Seven Kill Sword of the Seven Kill Demonic Sect is said to slay heavens, slay earth, slay gods, slay demons, slay monsters, slay Buddhas, and slay immortals.]

[Lu Chenling seemingly unleashes a single sword strike, but in your perception, this strike branches into thousands of swords, filling the void.]

[Anything grazed by the sword's edge is reduced to imperceptible particles.]

Lu Chenling parted her cherry lips, and an Inner Scenery Map flew out from her mouth.

Zing! Zing! Zing!

Within the scroll, there were blue skies and white clouds, green mountains and clear waters, and also countless sharp flying swords.

As Lu Chenling activated it, sword after sword flew out from her Inner Scenery Map, annihilating the surrounding Eagle-headed Demons.

"This Inner Scenery Map..."

Surprise appeared on Jiang Chuan's face.

Lu Chenling asked, "Fellow daoist Jiang, is there something wrong with my Inner Scenery Map?"

"The elders in the temple said that the Inner Scenery Map is drawn with blood essence as paper and magic power as ink, depicting the heavens and earth."

Jiang Chuan raised his hand and pointed at the flying swords in the sky.

"Fairy Lu, why are there so many flying swords in your Inner Scenery Map, besides the mountains, rivers, and heavens?"

"So, fellow daoist is curious about this!"

Lu Chenling countered, "Does fellow daoist know why the heavens and earth are as they are now?"
