Inner Demons Volume 1 Chapter 15

The two priests that Li YunXin killed were not priests without sect like they said. Actually they were also from Above the Clouds Sword School. They were the third and fourth direct disciples of the school leader.

Li YunXin was in no mood to consider whether if it was “the school leader’s direct disciples were too weak” or “the magic array that his parents left behind was too strong”.

The junior brother[1] of the 2 priests he killed was still alive, and he sounded really powerful. What if he notices that his 2 senior brothers disappeared? Is he going to find me in his investigation?

Li YunXin didn’t know how much an immortal could do, and he didn’t dare to guess. However, he was already suspecting that the reason that that guy had no time to come here to kill them and pa.s.s his trial, was because he went to investigate the deaths of his 2 senior brothers.

What a pity. Li YunXin originally planned to escape as soon as he understood the details. Unfortunately, now that he knew this - Maybe the master of the 6 swordsmen, HuaiNanZi would notice that something was wrong.

It’s a matter regarding his life and death...He could never be careful enough about it.

Therefore...

He couldn’t leave these 6 people alive.

The effect of Traveling in the Night in Gorgeous Garments had reached its maximum. Liu the old priest, who was controlling the spirits, felt increasingly surprised. He was also considered an “expert” who could create Sensation Realm paintings, but compared to this one before him, his works were like...

Like trash.

The 6 people in the magic array had already completely lost their mind, and were controlled by some kind of strong emotion.

However, Li YunXin still thought it was not enough. It was prepared in a hurry after all. According to his father’s words, when an array of Traveling in the Night in Gorgeous Garments was activated, the one who was affected by it would lose himself. Even if someone was to stab him with a sword, he would still be immersed in the illusory glory, unable to get out - not like this one he prepared.

Therefore, Li YunXin must come up with some other ways, if he wanted to kill them.

It was not like the voice of any person he knew, but...the tone of being used to command and guide others sounded familiar.

He realized that his guess about the ident.i.ty of the young man was completely wrong. He was probably...not a child of a merchant family. Maybe he was from some n.o.ble family, but what was the relations.h.i.+p between him and Liu the old priest? They seemed to have a unvoiced pact[2] between each other long before.

He saluted with his hand folded: “ I’m not a civil man. I don’t deserve the honor of being called a mister. If we’re talking about a sudden attack...”

Qiao DuanHong slightly blushed: “I’m afraid...we wouldn’t be able to get any of them. Maybe we can hurt 2 or 3 of them. You might not know this, my young lord - these 6 people are all second-cla.s.s experts in jianghu, and that means they are one in a thousand. Although we...”

“Okay, got it.”Li YunXin interrupted him, “So we need to find another way.”

Feng凤, the king of all birds. Dragons and fengs is used to describe outstanding people Qiao DuanHong thought his talent was not bad, he worked hard when he was young, and his family was not poor - He was pretty proud of himself for reaching the border of the second cla.s.s at his age.

At least among the escort teams in Wei City, his skill was remarkable.

However, he thought the young man didn’t know these things. Maybe he was from a n.o.ble family, had learned something like magic, and was not interested in martial arts.

Most of the upper cla.s.s in cities were like this - they respect the immortals and was longing for Dao. They loved to imitate the immortals’  meditation, but they didn’t know the proper method. However, they were never keen on the skills which could increase their strength through hard work.

He folded his hands again, and payed attention to Liu’s reaction from the corner of his eye. He tried to sound him out: “So...is there anything else we can help with?”

Qiao DuanHong and the others of the escort team looked around with confusion, trying to figure out whether they heard it wrong.

Li YunXin sighed.

What a cla.s.sic thriller movie opening.

The next line should be...

“Give my head back to me...”

When the second sound broke out in the night forest, even the sword in the hand of the coldest swordsman started to shake.

In such a world, even the most experienced person - not including the real cultivators of course - wouldn’t have been bombarded by as much information as Li YunXin had in his time. Li YunXin knew all the possible ways for a female ghost to appear; He knew that in the legends there were monsters in the rivers, dragon lords in the oceans, Yamas[3] in the underworld and immortals in the heavens; He knew how was the life was of an emperor, of ministers, and of wealthy families.

He even got bored when he heard the first 2 sentences of the ghost.

Oh, it’s this plot again.

Thus when he was surprised by “I’m finally going to see a real ghost in the this world for the first time”, his fear was much less than that of others.

Then...

The female showed herself in a cla.s.sic way-

A woman in white clothing staggered out of a bush, holding both her arms out in front of her body. A large amount of blood was seen on her, and they kept dripping onto the ground. Her head was not on her shoulders - There was a wound as big as a bowl on her neck, in which the bone stubble, the windpipe and blood vessels could be seen.

Her head was rolling on the ground, 4 or 5 steps away from her body. Her eyes were open, and were staring at the body behind them.

Following the rolling head, the body staggered forward, and kept screaming in an anguished voice:

“My head...Give it back to me...”
