A cut above the rest

"There's no danger, just a corpse."

The search team members breathed a slight sigh of relief after carefully inspecting the area.

But seeing the mess all around, he was still filled with horror.

Although they had already witnessed the battle between the two sides.

But before, there was some distance between us, and now that we're closer, we can truly feel it.

Just how powerful was the impact at the time?

"How can there be no one here? Where is the one who exorcised the demon before?"

Previously, we hadn't seen who was exorcising the demon, as the dense forest had concealed it.

That's about all I know—that someone here is exorcising demons.

"I don't know, but they must have left."

The people who arrived looked around but did not see anyone else present.

Upon seeing this, some people immediately fell silent.

"Are there really cultivators in this world?"

Based on the situation just now, it seems that this is the only possibility.

But even after seeing it with their own eyes, many people are still deeply moved.

"That fairy is dead?"

At this moment, outside the park, seeing the fox demon in the distance dissipate, they couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Judging from the current situation, the fox demon should be dead.

"Who was that who just made the move? They were incredibly skilled."

The pedestrian looked into the distance, still somewhat shocked as he recalled the sight of the swords flying up and down and tumbling in the air.

"So, did this person succeed in cultivating immortality within the game 'Ask Tao,' or did they already succeed in cultivating immortality in our world?"

Someone asked with a doubtful look, "Judging from what just happened, that person should be a cultivator, right?"

But how did they cultivate?

Since the game was launched, it seems to have appeared once in Yuanqing Prefecture, and now it has appeared again in Huaxia.

The two are very likely the same person, which means that someone in Huaxia has successfully cultivated immortality.

But how did they manage to cultivate this skill successfully? And have any others succeeded in cultivating it?

Numerous questions arose in the minds of countless people, which in turn aroused their envy.

How wonderful it would be if I could cultivate immortality myself!

Especially when they witnessed the magical battle just now, they were filled with envy.

The image of flying swords soaring up and down to kill enemies is a fantasy in the hearts of countless people.

The battle of magic just now had completely turned their fantasies into reality and presented them before their eyes.

After several hours, Fang Zelin successfully flew back home.

The fox demon has been eliminated, and the matter in Guyuan Commandery is considered resolved.

Fang Zelin held his breath and focused his mind, and feeling the pulling sensation in his body, he successfully returned to the inn.

Upon seeing Fang Zelin return, Bearing the Heavens immediately flew over, circled Fang Zelin twice, and appeared very happy.

Fang Zelin patted Bearing the Heavens, then sat cross-legged to begin recovering his depleted Spiritual Qi.

Once the Spiritual Qi was restored, Fang Zelin pushed open the door and saw Xuan Yi and the other person guarding the door.

Where is Fellow Daoist Lü?

"We just finished searching Heavenly Ease Ward and are currently downstairs."

Upon seeing Fang Zelin appear, Xuan Yi quickly replied.

"The fox demon matter has been resolved. Go downstairs and tell Fellow Daoist Lü that we can leave this place."

Fang Zelin spoke, he straightened his sleeves and walked downstairs.

I just changed my clothes, so I'm tidying them up a bit to avoid looking disheveled.

Xuan Yi taken aback, somewhat surprised. Had the senior just gone to slay a demon?

Just now, I only saw the senior in the room, how did you manage to do that?

Surely he didn't go off to slay demons in his dream?

Xuan Yi and Zhenke exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

However, the two did not dare to slack off and quickly followed.

When Fang Zelin arrived downstairs, he saw Daoist Lü looking worried and distressed.

Clearly, he was frustrated because he couldn't find the fox demon.

This fox demon is hiding too well, and it wouldn't be good to leave it alone. However, despite searching for so long, we still haven't found it, even though it's hidden so well.

"Fellow Daoist Lü."

Fang Zelin stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting to Daoist Lü, and said, "I have already found and killed that fox demon. There shouldn't be any other demons in Guyuan Commandery. Shall we continue our journey?"

Daoist Lü was still pondering how to find the fox demon.

To everyone's surprise, they heard this from Fang Zelin.

"The fox demon was defeated?"

Daoist Lü was somewhat surprised at this moment, and couldn't help but ask Fang Zelin a question.

"Yes, we found it and killed it immediately. The fox demon was seriously injured, but it still retains some of its power."

At this point, Fang Zelin was quite emotional.

This fox demon's cultivation is indeed extraordinary.

Fang Zelin hadn't expected that even though the fox demon was seriously injured, it would still be so difficult to deal with.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Lü felt that Fang Zelin was being too modest.

I hadn't sensed any fighting taking place in the city just now.

Fang Zelin said that this fox demon was quite powerful, but how did it manage to defeat him so quietly during the battle?

Thinking this through, Daoist Lü assumed that Fang Zelin was just being modest.

"Now that the fox demon has been defeated, let's continue our journey. Those powerful demons this year will likely be difficult to deal with."

Having wasted too much time here, Daoist Lü didn't want to waste any more time, so he agreed and set off with them.

Xuan Yi gathered the remaining disciples of Jade Void Mountain, and then the group left the county town together.

If you continue north for a while, you'll eventually leave the territory of Guyuan Commandery.

On the fifth day, the group saw flags waving ahead and countless iron cavalry thundering as they galloped.

Looking at the words on those banners, it was still three groups of people.

"I've heard that the Great Jin royal family has been captured. Now, it seems only these three factions are vying for power. Once one faction seizes control and the throne is firmly established, the Human Race Karmic Fortune will be stabilized once again."

"When that time comes, we can return to the mountain to continue our cultivation."

Fang Zelin and the others stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the three groups of people in front of them. At this moment, Daoist Lü spoke up.

As long as the Human Race Karmic Fortune remains stable, even the most powerful demons would not dare to touch it.

Otherwise, they would only suffer a backlash, ultimately ending up completely destroyed.

Therefore, during the prosperous times of a dynasty, cultivators could simply sit peacefully in the mountains and cultivate their skills.

"Fellow Daoist, are you no longer looking for disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Daoist Lü have been thinking of finding a disciple?"

They couldn't find it in Guyuan Commandery. Does that mean they'll just give up the search after this Demon Race calamity is quelled?

"The search will naturally continue, but finding a disciple who suits our tastes is not easy."

Daoist Lü shook his head. He had been looking for a disciple for quite some time, but even after so long, he still hadn't found one who met his expectations.

Seeing how outstanding all of Daoist Priest Qingyun's disciples are, I can't help but feel a little envious.
