e...”At least let my brother have some confidence when facing Mr. Lin.》》》After the New Year, Lin Yanqin was the first to come to pay New Year's greetings.She pitifully said to my brother, "Yunfan, wha...Poof...

With my last ounce of strength, I bit through a sliver of my tongue.

The metallic tang spread in my mouth, yet it was like a shot of adrenaline, igniting the courage to fight with all my might.

Fingertip blood and tongue tip blood are more commonly used, as for the blood between the heart... that's dangerous to use, few righteous monks would dare.

I rarely even use the blood from my fingertips. Nowadays, it's a time of peace and prosperity. The minor demons and goblins we encounter usually aren't cruel enough to resort to bloodshed.

But facing this invisible "person," I dared not harbor any wishful thinking. While I could still move, I bit my tongue first, the pain and metallic taste instantly clearing my mind somewhat and pushing back the fear by a few points.

I muttered under my breath, the binding force had indeed loosened some, and I could move my fingers.

Heaven helps the righteous, and the spirit of Zhenwu responds.

With a whoosh, the talisman at my fingertips suddenly swirled up a mass of black flames, startling me!

I hastily flung the talisman away, afraid my hand would be burned!

"Poof...hahahaha..."

Who's laughing

I flicked the flame from my hand, looking around nervously. The black fire had frightened me, and even those illusory little demons had vanished.

The black qi that was winding around my limbs was being pushed back... This powerful

I mostly use the Lei Fa, which is especially effective against evil spirits and ghosts. I never expected… that this Beiji You Sheng Zhenjun's decree would be so "fierce"

And I felt a slight difference.

The Lei Fa carried the righteous energy of heaven and earth, with the solemnity of a heavenly path. While this imperial decree bestowed upon the You Sheng True Monarch, the Great Emperor of Demon Subjugation, exuded an imposing majesty that said "I am the only one."

There's no real explanation for it, it's just an aura of majesty and power that crushes all evil.

I secretly rubbed my fingertips, I wasn't hurt by the black flame Qi, which made me secretly relieved.

Improper conduct will lead to retribution.

"Hmph hmph... Are you going to bite your tongue and commit suicide again" The voice grew clearer, seeming to be right beside me.

"Who are you I...I mean no disrespect to your practice, but my brother was brought here, and I came to find him." I stated my position quickly.

If the malice in the world needs these Demon Gods to absorb, then their descent into the mortal realm is also a part of the celestial cycle. I have no intention, nor do I wish to call myself a "Guardian of righteousness."

But…the demon gods were all on edge, ready to fight at the slightest provocation. I became their enemy just because of a look they didn't like.

Now we still don't know how things are going with the Shen family. With Luohu and Ji Dou Xingjun there... will the house, the house even be safe

My brother has disappeared again, and I'm being toyed with by this invisible "person" like a cat playing with a mouse...

For a moment, my mind was in turmoil.

Suddenly, a gust of cold air blew across my cheek, making me jump back in fright. I stared in terror at the spot where I had just been standing.

A blurry humanoid figure gradually appeared.

A hazy gray mist obscured the figure against the dark backdrop, but a vague outline of a man's torso could be discerned.

Tall and strong, his attire seemed familiar.

Gradually, the outline became clearer. I suddenly saw a ring hanging from my waist that prohibited me from moving.

"Count...count all!" I exclaimed in surprise.

A grayish mist gradually took the shape of a human, its features becoming slightly clearer.

The person before me was entirely a shade of platinum gray, as if there were a veil of gray between us.

But this is really a feat, his face, figure, and clothes, I've seen them many times before - could this be his dharma form

"You, you how did you come! Was it you who was following me just now" I frowned and thought about it.

It doesn't seem right... Ji Dou and Jiang Qiyun are not on good terms, but it's too much to grab my collar like that. It's such a violent and disrespectful act.

He wouldn't even bother with me, a mere mortal.

But their kind of conflict is the kind that happens within the Purple Micro Realm. To put it simply, it's like children of the same household fighting and making a ruckus, ultimately they are all members of the same "plane" of existence, all venerable celestial beings under the command of the Great Emperor Ziwei.

No matter how you toy with me, it wouldn't be... wait, no, this isn't right. This isn't a joke.

I raised my hand, stopping the Zi Xiao Ruyi in front of me, and conjuring a sword glow.

Ji Dou was taken aback, and grinned. "Hahaha You want to fight me"

I know I can't win, but I can't give up resisting, can I

He raised a hand, his slender, powerful fingers covering most of his face. His gray eyes flashed with sharp coldness from between the gaps in his fingers.

"Mu Xia Qiao, wandering around here will you find your brother Don't waste time, come with me." He had a slight sneer on his lips.

I shook my head without thinking, but I really wanted to find my brother as soon as possible. I really didn't have any supernatural powers that could compare to "Jiedu."

So when I shook my head, there was a flicker of hesitation.

He keenly sensed my hesitation and sneered, "Afraid of me Hmph hmph hmph... I could crush you like an ant... But since you're interesting, I'll take a closer look for a while longer."

"Nobody would want to pinch me to death," I said seriously. "Who are you"

"Oh How do you know I don't want to crush you" he sneered. "A mere mortal, yet you disrupt the three realms... Don't you know, mortals who seduce the gods throughout history all end up miserably"

Tempt How could that word come out of Ji Dou's mouth.

In a sense, *Jun* is quite a straight-laced immortal. He doesn't care about the intricate affairs of mortals, and he probably wouldn't even bother thinking about words that describe love and desire.

I was about to retort, but I saw a hint of blood in the gleam of his eyes.

My body moved before my mind could catch up. I swung my sword wildly, and he effortlessly dodged to the side. I turned and fled.

This is not a calculation, it's not a calculation, I can't believe it.

I closed my eyes and shook my head violently, silently calling out Jiang Qiyun's name in my heart, hoping he would respond as soon as possible.

I didn't want to bother him, but I really was a little...drained. If I could transform into a calculating machine, then he certainly could too.

There was a deafening boom! A massive force slammed into my shoulder blades from behind, sending me crashing to the ground.

I strained my neck, and on Jiang Qiyun's face, his smile was both sinister and wild.

“Asking the Underworld Lord here, you're really putting on a show, Mu Xiaoqiao.”

"Qi Yun..." I couldn't help but have my nose ache, blurting out.

This is my mental fear—sometimes, it's not that I want to summon him, but because of the situation, and I'm not that powerful.

Although Jiang Qiyun is very willing to save me from fire and water, I always feel burdened every time.

How could I, a mere mortal, repeatedly summon the Lord of the Underworld

“See, fear is that simple.” Jiang Qiyun behind me coldly retracted his expression and looked down at me like an ant.

I wanted to bite my tongue again, to wake myself up, but was clamped down on by a hand gripping my jaw.

His awkward posture, with his neck twisted and his chin clamped down, was pitiful. Yet, he wore a smirk that held a hint of scrutiny.

"Are you looking for someone" Jiang Qiyun smiled from behind.

I closed my eyes and nodded, immediately hearing a soft chuckle.

"Mu Xia Qiao ah Mu Xia Qiao, what do you think you are capable of, walking into this place"

The voice was light and playful, with a hint of mischievous sunshine, and my heart skipped a beat. I opened my eyes.

The face behind me, had become Mu Yunfan shrouded in darkness.

>out breaking my vows when I come here!"I found it quite amusing to watch him. It seems he's a greedy eater, but he still knows how to abide by the rules.There are many branches of Taoism, but most ten...
