"Bai Gui Sect! No wonder it feels so familiar!"
An Yi's lips curled into a faint smirk.
That's right—this was exactly the same sensation he had felt back when the Gourd Immortal confronted him!
An Yi's gaze remained fixed, coldly scrutinizing Zi Xin's bare figure, searching for any weaknesses.
"The intel was wrong. She... she's not one of the Eight Great Immortals!"
Xiao Xiao's voice carried a trace of frost as she spoke.
They had originally assumed they were apprehending one of the Bai Gui Sect's Eight Great Immortals.
But judging by her strength, that clearly wasn't the case!
A mere immortal? She could handle that herself!
Zhang Qianyu frowned. "Then who is she?"
"This humble maiden is Gui She."
Zi Xin looked down at them from above, her voice eerily calm.
The moment those words left her lips, Xiao Xiao, Zhang Qianyu, and the other Taoist priests all paled.
Gui She!
One of the Bai Gui Sect's Four Great Hall Masters!
Zhang Qianyu took a step back, whispering to Jiang Cheng, "Your Highness, don’t tell me the Law Enforcement Bureau only sent you?"
"Your Highness" was Jiang Cheng's nickname.
After all, Qinglong, the foremost of the Four Sacred Beasts, was the designated successor to the Law Enforcement Bureau's leadership.
This was already set in stone, so Jiang Cheng had long been referred to as the "Law Enforcement Bureau's Crown Prince."
However, someone as proud as Zhang Qianyu wouldn’t casually address him like that—unless he needed a favor.
Jiang Cheng grinned. "Bingo! You got it. Just me."
Zhang Qianyu: "..."
"Damn it!"
This was one of the Bai Gui Sect's Four Great Demon Hall Masters—a Void Realm expert!
If they weren’t careful, the entire Taoist Alliance contingent could be wiped out!
For the longest time, the martial world had dismissed the Bai Gui Sect as an obscure, upstart faction.
But when several notorious demonic cultivators were exposed, the truth came to light.
Many martial artists had deep ties to the Bai Gui Sect, and only now was the full picture emerging.
Take Gui She, Zi Xin—one of the Four Great Demon Hall Masters.
She had supposedly been executed by the Heavenly Dragon Temple fifty years ago! So how was she still alive?
Of course, if they hadn’t encountered her today, no one would have believed it.
Gui She wasn’t even human—she was a massive serpent that had taken human form!
As the illusion of the giant snake faded, the Taoist priests finally tore their gazes away from Zi Xin's snow-white body, snapping back to reality with a collective shudder.
Who could have imagined that the legends of spirits taking human form would manifest in real life?
Zi Xin smirked. "After just a few decades in seclusion, I never expected the lofty Skyward Mansion—which once shunned the mortal world—to mingle with these scraggly-haired Taoists from Dragon Elephant Mountain. How far you’ve fallen!"
"Who are you calling scraggly-haired?!" Zhang Qianyu, hiding behind Jiang Cheng, roared in fury. "You can insult Dragon Elephant Mountain, but don’t you dare insult me!"
"Ahem. You got that backwards."
Jiang Cheng winced, his ears ringing from Zhang Qianyu's deafening shout.
Zhang Qianyu huffed. "Same difference!"
And who could blame him for being scared?
The revelation of the Bai Gui Sect's Four Great Demon Hall Masters had sent shockwaves through the martial world.
Everyone had assumed the Eight Great Immortals—Transcendent Realm experts—were the sect’s ultimate power. Who knew they had this hidden hand?
Four Void Realm experts emerging? That was too much to handle!
And Gui She—a demoness who wreaked havoc fifty years ago—was not only alive but still as youthful as ever.
Xiao Xiao gripped her sword, her icy gaze locked onto Zi Xin. "Demoness, taste my blade!"
"Oh? Skyward Swordplay! I never thought this technique would survive. Back then, I remember that hypocritical little Taoist was the last of Skyward Mansion. Who knew he’d raise a disciple?"
Zi Xin's eyes grew colder as she stared at Xiao Xiao’s sword, her hatred unmistakable.
Xiao Xiao’s voice was frosty. "You knew my master?"
"Knew him? Oh, I knew him very well."
Zi Xin licked her lips, her voice dripping with seduction. "Your master was quite the treat—young and vigorous. A shame, really. Fifty years later, I doubt he can even get it up anymore."
"Lies! My master isn’t that kind of man! Demoness, don’t you dare slander him!"
Xiao Xiao’s voice was icy, but her cheeks burned red.
Unfortunately, half her face was hidden behind a mask, obscuring her expression.
Zhang Qianyu timidly raised his hand. "Uh, your master is exactly that kind of man."
The entire Taoist Alliance knew Xiao Xiao’s master was an old lecher!
Despite his age, he still shamelessly flirted with the younger female disciples. It infuriated Zhang Qianyu to no end!
Xiao Xiao shot him a glare. "If you don’t speak, no one will mistake you for a mute!"
Zi Xin chuckled. "Seems that bastard’s been living well!"
Her figure blurred as she lunged forward, her body morphing mid-air into a massive serpent that bared its fangs at Xiao Xiao!
Xiao Xiao’s expression turned grave.
Her sword flashed—
Clang!
The blade shattered in two. The moment the serpent slammed into her, flames flickered in her eyes. Fire-attribute spiritual energy surged from her fingertips, channeling into the broken sword.
In an instant, the blade erupted into a blinding column of fire—striking the purple serpent head-on!
Hiss!
The serpent shrieked in agony, spewing a cloud of venomous mist that engulfed Xiao Xiao.
"Xiao Xiao, dodge!" Zhang Qianyu shouted.
But there was no way she could evade it now. The toxic fog overwhelmed her, and she collapsed.
An Yi raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously? The Taoist Alliance’s Innate Dao Body, and this is all you’ve got?"
Still, that strike had wounded the serpent.
The broken sword remained embedded in its skull.
"Attack together!"
The Taoist priests swiftly formed a battle formation, swords at the ready.
The Bai Gui Sect’s warriors weren’t about to back down either, charging forward in unison.
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, you okay?"
Zhang Qianyu rushed to her side.
Xiao Xiao trembled as she forced herself up, gritting her teeth. "What are you standing around for?! Go help!"
Zhang Qianyu hesitated, then clenched his sword and charged at the serpent.
But with their current strength, they stood no chance.
This was a Void Realm expert!
Jiang Cheng didn’t hesitate. Knuckledusters gleaming, he threw a punch—
Boom!
The serpent recoiled from the impact, hissing as its slitted eyes locked onto Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng’s usual smile faded slightly as his eyes sharpened. "A Void Realm expert, huh? Perfect chance to test my limits."
"Miss, are you alright?"
An Yi had no intention of joining the fight, opting instead to keep the injured Xiao Xiao company.
"I... I’m cold... so cold..."
Xiao Xiao shivered, her gaze fixed on An Yi.
For some reason, she could sense it—within An Yi’s body, there was an overwhelming, blazing power.
And right now, it was calling to her.

However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
