in the city, so he wouldn't be staying at the ferry landing. It's still thirty miles to Sanwu City... But this old man does know a few old doctors who have some reputation here at the ferry landing. I...Within the valley, clouds billowed like mist, and thin fog swirled around.
>
The waterfall is like a silk ribbon, and the spring water flows with a clear sound.
A peaceful and harmonious scene.
To onlookers, it would appear to be a sacred site of immortals, unimaginable that this was the gathering place of demons led by the Corpse Demon of Luohun Abyss.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared above the valley, shrouded in thick magic clouds.
“Who is it!”
Shouts echoed from within, and a dozen figures flew out.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Before they could make out the scene within the demonic cloud, a five-colored beam of light shot out from it, heading straight for a stone temple at the edge of the valley.
>
'Whoosh!'
Fleeting lights flashed, and everyone stared blankly at that spot.
A fine stone temple simply vanished before their eyes.
"There... is Lu's senior's cave abode. Lu senior seems to have not gone out recently..."
A young man swallowed nervously and muttered.
Senior Lu is said to be a primordial infant ancestor from the Netherworld, with a strange temper.
Although he chose his cave dwelling at the edge of the valley, those who practiced in the depths were still polite to him.
“There are also disciples of Lu senior and some experts from Hun Yuan Mountain... they have all disappeared!”
A Yīyuán Yǐng ancestor, dozens of high-ranking magic cultivators, showed no signs of resistance and were instantly wiped out by the five-colored light.
Perhaps, the people in the main hall didn't know until their death what had happened, who killed them!
All of a sudden, the crowd was terrified and filled with fear.
Turning to flee, but it was too late. Everyone felt their vision filled with five-colored brilliance and then lost consciousness.
Just like the great hall, it vanished without a trace.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Down below, a rapid ringing of bells arose.
The monks in the valley sensed something was amiss and rang the alarm bell.
At that moment, the entire valley was in an uproar. Monks were awakened by the bell and flew out of their caves one after another.
Silhouettes floated in mid-air, all looking up towards the heavens.
Next, gray-white smoke rose from the valley. This smoke was pure corpse qi, refined through special rituals.
Corpse qi surged like pillars, shooting into the air one after another, a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one.
Eighty-one wisps of corpse qi flew into the air, scattering and merging with each other, forming a gray-white cloud cluster that happened to be located directly below the demonic cloud.

As if to support the demonic cloud and prevent it from pressing down on the valley.
In the depths of the valley, above a gloomy stone hall, several figures floated in the air.
Several figures had various colored lights flickering in their eyes as they operated divine powers like Spirit Eyes. Through the demonic cloud, they could faintly see the people within it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although they knew that one shouldn't judge by appearances in the cultivation world, their expressions became very strange.
"Who is this woman" someone asked.
"Aren't you a master from the heavens, come seeking revenge We all do what Master Qi instructs. Could someone have offended you"
Their answer was a thunderous boom, the earth trembled and shook, the mountain peaks on both sides of the valley swayed violently, almost collapsing.
The corpse qi, which had just coalesced into a cloud, suddenly shattered into five parts and was about to dissipate.
The crowd exclaimed in alarm, their faces filled with terror.
Since this place is a temporary stronghold, only one celestial summoning array was set up as the mountain-protecting formation.
Besides that, there are no other formations.
The opponent hadn't unleashed the five-colored radiance they had before, but simply pressing down their demonic clouds caused the Rising Underworld Array to show signs of collapse.
What a terrifying power!
"Run!"
Several people, as if they had seen a more fearsome demon than themselves, were completely disheartened and fled without hesitation.
The corpse cloud split open, and demonic energy surged in. This sight was too terrifying, beyond their imagination.
Please note that the `
` tag was already in English.
The demons in the valley were paralyzed with fear, terrified to their core, and scattered like frightened birds.
The whole valley was in an uproar.
A cloaked figure successfully escaped the valley, unable to help but glance back. He saw the panicked crowd within scrambling about. Just as he was about to rejoice, suddenly a five-colored radiance, swift as lightning, shot towards him.
The robed figure was taken aback and instinctively raised his treasured weapon, a white banner with ghostly markings.
'Whoosh!'
The ghost banner, white and patterned, unfurled like a broad strip of silk, hanging suspended in mid-air.
The next moment, with a sound of 'poof', it was pierced through by the five-colored light.
The man in black stared wide-eyed as the five-colored light fell upon him, vanishing instantly.
Similar situations are playing out everywhere.
The first few masters to escape the valley met with no luck.
At the same time, a deafening roar echoed through the valley as wave after wave of corpse qi collapsed, the cloud of corpses long since dispersed.
Sheng Ming's army couldn't even hold on for a breath before falling. Their corpses exploded with reeking energy, swirling into a tempest that swept across the land.
The palaces and pavilions collapsed one after another.
Some cultivators who were not from Luohun Pond accidentally inhaled corpse qi, and countless blood blisters immediately appeared all over their bodies, causing unbearable itching.
They scratched with all their might, tearing open blood blisters, their bodies were covered in blood and pain wracked them, but they still couldn't alleviate the itch. They rolled around on the ground, their flesh turning a bluish-black at an alarming rate.

Screams echoed through the valley.
Five-colored lights streamed down like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden, ending their suffering.
In the valley, hundreds of cultivators were slaughtered in the blink of an eye, not a single one survived.
Expressing rage through bloodshed.
At the same time, scenes of tragic cruelty were reflected in the pupil of his magic eye.
Little Five's eyes suddenly flickered with a hint of hesitation, his face contorted in struggle, suspended motionless.
Suddenly, a roar came from afar.
"Stop!"
A pale corpse energy shot across the sky, driven by a white-haired man.
Who are you!
The white-haired man scrutinized Xiao Wu from afar, finding him to be a stranger unfamiliar to any of the Nine Immortals of Yun Prefecture.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Could it be a new rising star from Yun Duotian"
The gray-haired man flashed this thought, and spoke in a deep voice: "No matter who you are, for killing hundreds of people without reason, this old man will definitely demand an explanation from the Cloud City!"
As they were talking, the white-haired man suddenly met Xiao Wu's gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.
The next moment, the five-element divine light was in front of him.
>
He persisted for longer than the monks in the valley, but it couldn't change the outcome.
A powerful cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage was sent here to take charge, thinking it would be a good opportunity to avoid the most dangerous vortex. Unexpectedly, he fell mysteriously.
Little Five was drawn to the white-haired man and instinctively flew forward.
She was still struggling, her delicate body trembling slightly, battling the demonic force within.
Shortly after, she met Yin Shi and pointed at him with her hand.
The tiger corpse fell silent and died instantly.
Everywhere he went, like the Yin Corpse, countless cultivators died at the hands of Xiao Wu.
Among them, I wonder if there are any innocent people.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When Xiaowu left, he stopped.
She was struggling with all her might, each killing fueling the demonic nature within her, the struggle on her face becoming more intense with every act.
At last, a city appeared ahead.
This is the Immortal Cultivator's Market, where not only cultivators but also mortals reside.
A demonic cloud shrouded the city, darkness so thick that one could not see their fingers. Everyone was consumed by a deep and pervasive fear.
Xiao Wu, standing high above, saw everyone, and he also saw the struggle in their eyes, which was even more intense.
Whoosh!
Sha Jia Yu and Yu Lang finally caught up.
"Senior Sister!"
Yu Lang shouted loudly.
Sha Jiayu wanted to stop him, but Yu Lang resolutely refused. He flew into the demonic cloud and came before Xiaowu.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
"Senior sister, his name is Goro."
Yu Lang gently lifted the swaddling cloth, showing Xiao Wu.
Perhaps because Xiao Wu's appearance is only that of a little girl, the baby doesn't feel afraid, but instead feels curious about her black eyes. She stretches out her hands for a hug and babbles incoherently.
Little Five stared fixedly at the infant, and his demonic aura actually showed signs of shrinking.
She didn't take the baby, she just watched quietly.
After a long while, she slowly closed her eyes.
For a moment, the sunlight seemed to brighten as well, and Yulan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Shajia Yu only then dared to approach, whispering, "Xiao Wu is suppressing the demonic nature, don't disturb her."
The demonic clouds churned, and Xiao Wu's expression gradually calmed down. She manipulated the demonic clouds, swirling up Yu Lang and Sha Jia Yu, and flew away.
The demonic clouds dissipated, and there was a sense of relief among the people in the marketplace.
Xiaowu's speed wasn't fast, he walked along the road he came from, he should be returning to Beikuai County.
As they approached the skies above Xiwu Village, Xiaowu suddenly stopped.
Following Xiao Wu's gaze, the two people saw a burnt willow tree by the village.
>
The charred tree trunk, at its roots, had a splash of green. It turned out that new shoots had sprouted from the roots.
Slender branches, emerald green buds.
>
In the gentle breeze, it sways lightly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The willow demon has fallen, and perhaps will not be resurrected because of this, but it symbolizes the precious hope of rebirth.
Yu Lang and Sha Jiayu exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister, take it back to Qingyangguan"
"It definitely wants to keep guarding this place," Little Wu murmured.
Yulang advised, "It is too weak now. Bring it back to Qingyang Guan and let it be with Wu'er. When it grows up, we can send it back."
Xiao Wu remained silent, watching Yu Lang cast a spell to move the entire willow tree. In a flash, they returned to Bei Kou County, to Chen Ya'er's home.
>
She moved the rubble aside piece by piece, revealing the bodies of the Chen couple. She tidied their appearances and carried them to a mountain outside the city.
They chose a place with good feng shui, dug the graves well, and were ready to bury them there. They could see Beikuang County with their own eyes, as well as the river where Chen Yazi waited for her whole life.
Finally, Xiao Wu took out a painting scroll.
This painting was one of the works painted by Xiao Wu when the Qingyang Guan was first established. It depicts the scene of Chen Ya'er holding a fish with her fork.
Previously used to frame windows in a Taoist temple, it has weathered through wind and sun, faded slightly, and was put away by Qin Sang.
As Xiao Wu went down the mountain, Qin Sang returned these paintings to her.
Spreading out the scroll and looking at the scene depicted, Xiao Wu's eyes flashed with reminiscence. He gently covered the painting over Chen Yazi's couple, burying them here together.
>
Yu Lang held the baby and bowed to the grave.
Xiao Wu nodded at him and dashed away.
"Let's go back first," Sha Jia Yu stepped forward and said.
"I want to go home and have a look," Yulan said in a low voice.
When he was at the Qiyáng Tea House, he also thought of his hometown. Because he was worried about his senior sister, he endured the unease in his heart and did not bring it up.
Sha Jiayu sighed softly and patted Yu Lang's shoulder, "Brother will accompany you."
It's still the same road, only there are no refugees fleeing along it.
She and her master once used medicine here to save people.
Xiao Wu's expression twitched, and she flashed down to the ground. Her toes lightly tapped, and a puff of white smoke rose from before her, revealing an old man.
This is the HTML code for a paragraph tag, which signifies a block of text.
"Spare my life, Immortal! Spare my life!"
The old man was indeed the same landlord from back then.
Do you remember, master gave him the jade pendant that controlled demons Land was filled with ambition and vigor back then, but now he's hunched over, constantly bowing his head in apology, as if his spirit had been crushed.
Little Five sighed softly, "Do you remember me"
The land trembled, carefully raised its head, and was overjoyed: "You are Little Fifth Fairy! Has the Taoist Master returned too"
The land surveyed left and right, his face full of anticipation.
"The master is not here."
"Xiao Wu shook her head slightly, "How did you become like this What about Yin'er and the others"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As soon as this question was asked, a wave of heartache surged from the bottom of his heart, and he began to pour out his woes.
“After the Daoist priest and fairy left, I, a humble man, wanted to revitalize Taoism. Using the jade pendant left by the Daoist priest to exorcise demons, I initially made some progress. However, good times don’t last forever. Just as things were looking up, I realized something was amiss.”
“I felt danger, and didn't dare to be ostentatious. Later, the atmosphere became increasingly eerie, and I could only abandon my property and hide in the mountains.”
“Those demons who have reformed, I will advise and let them go. As for those who are still obstinate, I dare not keep them by my side. I would rather put an end to their lives so they won't harm others when they leave.”
"Later, the immortal cultivation world grew increasingly chaotic. I didn't even dare to stay at the land temple any longer, so I destroyed it and hid here, barely clinging to life."
As for the three maids, Yinger included, they continued to serve at the temple as shrine maidens even after getting married. They could only be sent away to live ordinary lives.
>
"Rest assured, fairy. They have my mark on them and are safe now."
Having slain the Corpse Demons from the Netherworld Abyss, including a Nascent Soul stage expert, Xiao Wu already knows part of the plan.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This mortal game will be played out in the human realm. Both sides will not use magical powers to directly intervene.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course, it doesn't mean that all who play chess are ordinary people.
Both sides will send disciples down the mountain, sealing their cultivation and controlling mundane power, to decide victory and defeat in worldly ways.
All the countries in the world are like chess pieces on a chessboard, constantly at war with each other.
> For Yin'er and the others, the greatest threat wasn't demons, but human warfare.
Little Five thought for a moment, waved her hand, and five-colored brilliance flashed, condensing into a multicolored robe in her hand. She handed it to the Land God.
"Put on this colorful robe, be careful, even a cultivator of the Divine Transformation stage wouldn't be able to detect you."
This is a divine power of the five elements condensed into one.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The land was both surprised and delighted, it was hard to imagine what kind of treasure could hide from the spiritual awareness of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
He knew exactly why Xiao Wu had spent so much mana refining this robe for him. He immediately swore, "I swear to heaven, I would give my life without hesitation and will definitely not let Yin'er and the others get hurt even a single hair! They live in a small town three hundred miles away. Would you like to go see them"
Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, then gently shook his head and whispered, "See you later."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Before the words could finish, Xiao Wu suddenly vanished.
Bidding farewell to the land, Xiaowu did not go anywhere else. She didn't want to stop for a moment and flew back to Yan State with all her might.
At last, Xiao Wu saw the Qingyang Guan temple. Like a traveler returning home, his heart and mind suddenly calmed down.
A peaceful and tranquil village.
A school brimming with youthful energy.
On the stone outside the Taoist temple, stood a Daoist priest, waiting for his disciple to return home.
Qin Sang didn't speak, her eyes were gentle as she looked at Xiao Wu who had fallen.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Little Wu pursed her lips, looking wronged. She clutched Qin Sang's clothes tightly with her small hand and nestled close to him.
“Master, I don't want to go down the mountain.”
