Inside Qu Shuang City.

“Have you found her?” Lonemoon asked.

“She isn’t in the west of the city?” Yi Qing shook his head. “I’ll go and look in the east.”

“Forget it, forget it!” Lonemoon pulled Yi Qing back. “You know that your master naturally conceals herself. Unless she looks for us, we will not be able to find her easily.”

“But… Master is not good with directions,” Yi Qing reminded Lonemoon.

The corners of his mouth twitched. For the 101st time, he felt like giving her a good beating. “We have no other choice; we can only wait and see.”

“Wait?” Yi Qing stared blankly at Lonemoon. “Wait for what?”

“Wait and see where there is trouble!” Lonemoon said through his gritted teeth. “Don’t you understand your master’s character yet? Wherever she is, she creates trouble. For all we know, right now…”

Boom…

Before he finished speaking, they heard a loud explosion coming from the east. Throughout Qu Shuang City, the impact was felt and the ground vibrated. A huge amount of black Qi began to fill the air and in a blink of an eye, the entire eastern region was covered in the black Qi.

“I can sense Master’s aura over there,” Yi Qing exclaimed. He drew his flying sword and flew toward the east.

Indeed.

Lonemoon frowned and turned toward the east. “Heh heh…”

He knew this would happen. He drew his flying sword and flew in the direction Yi Qing disappeared in. As he approached, he saw a significant number of immortals flying away in fear, shouting as they passed by him.

“Demonic Qi… a thick demonic Qi!”

“Yes, it’s coming from the City Lord’s Abode!”

“Demons have invaded the City Lord’s Abode!”

City Lord’s Abode?

Lonemoon pursed his lips as his heart began to race. It’s the City Lord’s Abode!

That foodie must create trouble wherever she went, didn’t she? She actually caused trouble in the City Lord’s Abode this time!

The two of them continued to fly toward the east of the city. From far, they spotted an abode atop a hill. Immortals were fighting inside and there were sparks from dharma spells being cast.

These people looked stronger than Yi Qing and Lonemoon, especially the person in the middle of the commotion. His Immortal Qi seemed a few times stronger than Xun Li’s. He was fighting with another person who was engulfed in black Qi. The latter did not seem to have any form. No matter what the former did, he could not seem to hit him because he kept hiding within the black smog.

The black smog was getting thicker. Yi Qing and Lonemoon were already beginning to feel uncomfortable and they were barely reaching the tower.

“Help!” Yi Qing shouted before he charged into the tower.

Lonemoon gritted his teeth and followed closely behind Yi Qing.

The Sword Qi rushed out from his sword and forced the black smog to retreat a couple of inches. A green-robed immortal who was almost swallowed up by the black smog took the opportunity to escape from it and retreat into the defensive array.

“You are…” The man hesitated, surprised to see Yi Qing and Lonemoon. When the demonic Qi appeared, all the immortals apart from those who resided in the City Lord’s Abode flew away. He did not think that anybody else would come to their aid. Yi Qing and Lonemoon were merely Earth Immortals, but their Sword Qi was strong enough to force the demonic Qi to retreat. Could they be…

Before he could open his mouth to ask anything, the demonic Qi surged toward him once more. He had no choice but to continue fighting. He tried to fight off the wind blades formed by the demonic Qi to stop them from breaking through the defensive array formation.

But he could hold the demonic Qi off for not much longer. Within a minute or two, the immortal who was fighting against the black figure collapsed onto the floor after a burst of demonic Qi hit him.

“Patriarch!” The rest of the immortals exclaimed. His entire left shoulder was engulfed in demonic Qi, which seeped into his bones. Immediately, he used the sword in his hand to cut off his entire left arm. Then, he conjured a seal to stop the blood flow from his shoulder sockets.

In the time the immortal used to conjure the seal, the black figure charged forward once again to attack the man. Suddenly a gust of sword Qi clashed with the figure, causing it to let out a cry and retreat.

The man on the floor was obviously shocked. He looked down at the black drops of blood flowing from his severed arm – it was contaminated with demonic Qi. He shot a weird look at Yi Qing and asked, “How… did you?” How did you hit the demon?
