"Okay!" Luo Jinxiao just rushed out happily, but retreated halfway, his eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrongly, "Wait, save the tree demon?"
"The tree monster only has evil aura, not murderous aura. It has never hurt anyone. I can feel it. And the evil aura on that day was completely different from this one. Go quickly." Qu Weiyin frowned and said loudly.
Luo Jinxiao did not hesitate any longer. His pale green figure soared into the air and fell straight into the crowd. With a silvery-white light that streaked across the night sky, he directly shattered the formation. The disciples of Qingyan Palace were caught off guard and fell into a ball.
"Who is getting in the way here!" A veiled woman jumped up, a cold light flashing in her hand, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Luo Jinxiao.
"Sorry!" Luo Jinxiao raised his hands and smiled, indicating that he had no ill intentions.
The woman saw Luo Jinxiao wearing a deep green robe and looking like a cultivator. He had a delicate face and a kind and innocent smile. So she put down her weapon and said, "My fellow immortal, this tree demon has been cultivating for thousands of years and has transcended the human world to bring disaster to the world. It should be eliminated. Please get out of the way and don't block our way."
Luo Jinxiao still held his hands up and backed away until he reached the tree demon's feet. He then said, "I have no ill intentions. But if you are looking for the culprit who brought disaster to Pingxi Town, you may have found the wrong person. It would be better to investigate first to avoid hurting innocent people."
The woman looked at Luo Jinxiao and shook her head, saying, "My friend, you are wrong. Even if we are wrong, this demon has been hiding in the human world for so long, it will bring disaster to the world sooner or later. We see that you are young, so we won't bother with you. Please make way."
"Wait, let's talk for a while." Luo Jinxiao looked up at the moon and judged that it was not yet noon, so the evil demon should not have come yet, so he smiled again, "But if it has not done anything evil, killing it like this would be very inhumane."
"It's a monster, how can it be humane? If you don't get out of the way, we will take action!" A man jumped forward and shouted harshly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword and jumped up, with a surging airflow rushing straight towards Luo Jinxiao's face. Luo Jinxiao took a quick glance and judged that these people's cultivation was around Xu Chen's level and they were not to be feared, so he did not use his sword and just raised his hand to break his attack.
The man was speechless for a moment when he saw that the little girl in front of him broke the move so easily. He looked at his companions, and then they all rushed forward together, gathered together to form a formation, trying to cover Luo Jinxiao in it.
Qu Weiyin, who was watching from the side, felt her heart tighten. She raised her hand slightly, wanting to lend a helping hand to Luo Jinxiao. However, before she could make a move, she saw Luo Jinxiao reciting some kind of mental formula, and the moisture on the tips of the grass leaves in the forest suddenly condensed into frost, and then into ice needles, which shot towards the meridians of the formation. In the blink of an eye, the formation was shattered again.
Everyone in Qingyan Palace looked at each other in surprise. Seeing this, Qu Weiyin lowered his hands, with surprise and confusion mixed in his eyes, and finally turned into silence.
The tree demon suddenly began to wave its arms made of branches and leaves, and clapped its hands above Luo Jinxiao's head, as if it was very happy.
Luo Jinxiao was suddenly dazed by the dead leaves and branches hitting her head. She touched her head and shook off the dust.
"My friend, it is so immoral to help evil spirits like this!" The man was furious when he saw Luo Jinxiao being so proud.
"You are hurting people indiscriminately. No, you are harming the lives of monsters, which is immoral! If it is a monster, it must be killed. What is the difference between you and the evil monsters you are talking about!" Luo Jinxiao rolled his hands around his mouth like a megaphone and said loudly.
"You girl!" The man wanted to move forward again, but was stopped by the woman next to him.
The terrified people on the side could no longer bear it, and looked at Luo Jinxiao with hostility. Several people suddenly knelt down in front of the people from Qingyan Palace, crying, "Master, we are trapped by the evil spirit. People go missing every night. We are suffering terribly. It is this evil spirit that has killed so many of us. Please, Master, destroy the evil spirit and save our lives!"
The people from Qingyan Palace hurriedly urged them to get up, and the situation became extremely chaotic for a while.
Two young men in the crowd suddenly stood up, pointed at Xiu'er and shouted, "That's her! She's possessed by an evil spirit! She's the one who brought the monster!"
The discussion gradually increased, and the people were whispering to each other. Some people could not hold back and threw the torches in their hands at Xiu'er. Xiu'er hurriedly covered her head to avoid being hit. The shopkeeper could not bear it and hurriedly blocked the way, shouting: "Everyone, please have mercy! She is just bewitched, not a demon!"
But fear and hatred had made the people lose their minds, and people kept standing up and wanted to teach Xiu'er a lesson.
They couldn't do anything to the tree monster, but they could punish a mere young girl.
The sounds of condemnation became more and more intense. The tree demon, which had originally calmed down, suddenly began to shake its body again, seeming very angry. Seeing that many people could no longer control themselves and surrounded the girl, the tree demon let out a shrill roar.
Then, a ray of light passed by and blocked the shivering Xiu'er. The light and shadow gradually turned into a human figure, who looked like a woman. Her long dark green hair was curled and draped over her shoulders. She floated in the air. Suddenly, the surrounding trees began to sway, and a strong wind swept across the entire mountain, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
"It's a tree monster!" The disciples of Qingyan Palace screamed and gathered around. Everyone's spiritual power gathered together and turned into a long sword in mid-air. They attacked the tree monster with strong wind. The scene was in chaos. The body of the tree monster gradually became clear, and it landed on the ground with two feet. Many vines broke out of the ground from all around, forming a natural barrier that protected Xiu'er tightly.
Xiu'er looked at the tree demon in front of her with tears in her eyes, then she calmed down and sat down on the ground.
Luo Jinxiao also breathed a sigh of relief. She summoned the magic sword and held it in front of her. She jumped up and chanted a mantra in mid-air. A transparent ice wall then formed to protect the girl and the tree demon in the middle, like an inverted transparent bowl, blocking any attacks from the outside.
"It's you again. You help the evil spirits time and time again. Who are you?" The disciples of Qingyan Palace were furious and pointed at Luo Jinxiao and cursed him.
"Look up." Luo Jinxiao pointed to the sky.
It was almost midnight now. The remaining light in the sky had disappeared completely at some point. The sky seemed to be covered by a black cloth, so dark that it looked like ink could drip down at any time. It was very strange.
"What is this?" the man asked with a frown.
"Demonic aura. This is what you are looking for, the demon that brings disaster to the world." Luo Jinxiao put away her sword and fell to the ground, her green clothes fluttering. She frowned and looked around.
Qu Weiyin, who was standing behind just now, had disappeared.
"Brother, there's a really strong demonic aura over there. What she said seems to be true." The veiled woman ran to the man in a few steps, looking panicked.
When the people saw this scene, their legs went weak and they fell to the ground. Some fainted from fright, while others, worried about their wives and children at home, hurried back to the town with torches in hand.
The disciples of Qingyan Palace discussed it quickly, then withdrew a few people and rushed back to Pingxi Town like a cloud. The place was suddenly empty, and after the crowd dispersed, it was a mess. The shopkeeper was half-kneeling outside the barrier formed by Luo Jinxiao, his eyes dull.
Xiu'er struggled to get up, and the silent tree demon beside her suddenly moved. She slowly walked to her side, stretched out her arms covered with branches, gently held her shoulders, and helped her up.
“Evil spirit, evil spirit!” the shopkeeper shouted in panic. He couldn’t break the barrier, so he ran to Luo Jinxiao and knelt down to kowtow. “My lord, we are blind and don’t know what a great man is. Please save my daughter. She must have been possessed by this evil spirit…”
"She's fine." Luo Jinxiao frowned and said in a calm tone, "She is not possessed by evil spirits. She is your daughter."
"My daughter, how could my daughter be so close to a monster?" The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, refusing to believe it no matter what.
Luo Jinxiao could only shake her head. She didn't know what to do. She could only listen to Qu Weiyin's words and protect them first.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed across the sky, just like last night, but this time the light and shadow were more flickering, as if the star Leo was stretched, splitting the sky in two. The original dark clouds were forced back, and moonlight poured down from the cracks.
Luo Jinxiao was worried, clenched his fists, and looked solemn.
Qu Weiyin's power was amazing. Her majestic spiritual power could be felt even from such a distance. Luo Jinxiao gradually put his mind at ease. He looked in the direction where the noise came from, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Who is she and how can she have such a powerful skill?" The masked woman who stayed where she was asked in amazement. She took a few quick steps and looked up at the moonlight.
"She is my junior uncle. So, awesome, right?" Luo Jinxiao said with great pride, his eyelashes curly as he smiled.
After about an incense stick of time, Qu Weiyin came back. She was covered in dew and appeared in front of Luo Jinxiao silently. Her skirt and sleeves were scattered at her sides and slowly fell down.
Her expression was calm, as if what had just happened was just a trivial matter. She stood straight and coldly, her long hair blown by the wind, revealing her delicate eyebrows and eyes.
Luo Jinxiao couldn't help but smile even brighter, and the smile on his lips could almost throw a fish: "Is the monster gone?"
"Reduced to ashes." Qu Weiyin said lightly.
"Why is your face a little red?" Luo Jinxiao leaned closer to take a look, but Qu Weiyin dodged calmly, lowered her eyes and turned away.
"They worship me." Qu Weiyin said, and there seemed to be a little bit of grievance in her tone.
After hearing this, Luo Jinxiao almost laughed out loud.
Qu Weiyin coughed lightly, looked at the tree demon and the girl, pursed her red lips, and said, "Everyone has left, let them out."
Luo Jinxiao sighed briskly, waved his hand, and the frozen barrier disappeared instantly. The shopkeeper stepped forward, took Xiu'er's arm, and said, "Let's go back with Daddy."
Xiu'er looked back at the tree demon and did not move. The person and the demon were only an arm's length apart, but they seemed as far away as the ends of the earth. The tree demon's pupils were a light green, strange, but extremely beautiful. She stretched out her hand and the branches spread out, but were knocked open by the shopkeeper's punch.
"Monster!" the shopkeeper said angrily.
Xiu'er suddenly broke free from the shopkeeper's hand, turned around and ran back to the tree demon. The girl wrapped her slender arms around the tree demon's waist, buried her face in the tree demon's arms, and her messy hair was stuck to her cheeks by her tears.
She was deaf and mute, and could not express anything except crying.
The shape of the tree demon was more like a human. The branches turned into delicate skin. Except for the hair and eyes, which were still green, the rest of it was almost the same as a human. She looked like a graceful young lady. She moved gently, gently stroking the girl's hair and tidying up her messy hair.
The shopkeeper almost fainted when he saw this scene.
Luo Jinxiao was also very surprised. She had never heard of such deep feelings between humans and demons. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qu Weiyin, only to see that her eyes were dark and unclear, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Junior Master, what's wrong with you?" Luo Jinxiao asked boldly.
"It seems that today is the day for her to cultivate into a human form. I wonder if humans and demons can never be together again." Qu Weiyin's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was a little sad.
"That's not necessarily the case. Can't I also summon ferocious beasts?" Luo Jinxiao wanted to comfort her, so he said in a relaxed tone.
"No, it's different from this." Qu Weiyin shook her head, "You don't understand anything."
Luo Jinxiao was a little unconvinced after hearing this, but after thinking about it, she seemed to have no idea what Qu Weiyin meant. She simply bit her lip and pretended to be calm: "Why shouldn't I understand? Although immortals have to exorcise demons, they can't forget that all beings are equal. Besides, I have the final say on who I want to be with, and it has nothing to do with others."
Qu Weiyin looked at Luo Jinxiao's profile. Although her tone was a little ignorant, her eyes were filled with determination and boldness.
"Oh." Qu Weiyin pretended to be disdainful and hummed lightly.
