Senior Sister Went Mad After My Fake Death Chapter 19

From Reflection Cliff, one could behold towering cliffs and endless pine waves, but descending the mountain revealed a different scene altogether.
Jiang Chunai changed into her most simple Daoist robes, casually tied her hair into a bun, and easily blended into the crowd. While her appearance, as a cultivator, certainly differed from ordinary people, most mortals could at most discern that she had a cultivator’s aura, but nothing more.
With the thought of starting life anew, Jiang Chunai paid more attention to the vibrant energy of everyday life among mortals this time. She no longer had the same urgent desire to slay demons as before. She had spared a demon. She had even had intimate contact with a demon. And Snow Camellia, her divine weapon for demon slaying, had been chipped.
From the moment Snow Camellia was chipped, Jiang Chunai knew her Dao heart could no longer be as firm as before.
Now, she only needed to make a trip to the Ghost Market in Ru’an City, retrieve the Pearl of Retrospection, and hand it over to the Cliff Master. She knew nothing else, and wished to know nothing else.
However, if any harmful demons appeared, she would still show no mercy.
Today, on her way to Xianling Mountain, Jiang Chunai conveniently helped a passing butcher’s wife kill a pig demon. The demon’s cultivation was very low; Jiang Chunai didn’t even need to draw her sword. She formed a hand seal, and the pig demon was killed instantly.
“Ah! Gu-Girl, no,” the woman, still shaken, patted her chest, then stepped forward to thank Jiang Chunai. “Immortal Elder, Immortal Elder! Thank you for your help. If you weren’t here, I might have died today!”
This Immortal Elder had graceful brows and a beautiful visage, with glass-like pupils. She looked like a good person who vanquished demons and slays devils.
“No matter, as a cultivator, one naturally cannot tolerate these demons that come out to do evil,” Jiang Chunai said with a smile.
The woman still seemed like she hadn’t fully recovered, but she was quite talkative and struck up a conversation with Jiang Chunai. “Indeed, demons are divided into good and bad, and bad ones like this certainly cannot be let go! By the way, Immortal Elder, which immortal family do you belong to? The Mengling family?”
The Bright Snow Sect treated all demonic creatures the same; not even a spiritual fly could enter Mount Shu. Therefore, this Immortal Elder could not be from Mount Shu.
Jiang Chunai twitched her lips. “Not so. It’s a small sect, not worth mentioning.”
“Oh, no, no! You’re so formidable; you saved me, and you say it’s not worth mentioning!” The woman laughed heartily, then asked Jiang Chunai where she was headed, saying she might be able to help.
Jiang Chunai was just about to ask for directions, so she inquired about Ru’an City.
“Ru’an?” The woman’s expression hardened, then she seemed to realize something. “Ah, Immortal Elder, going to Ru’an City makes perfect sense. There’s a Ghost Market there…”
“If you turn over this mountain, then head east, you’ll reach Ru’an. As for how to enter the Ghost Market, I’m just a mortal, I wouldn’t know. But I do know that to the east of Ru’an, there’s a Cave of Severed Affections, and lately, demons have been constantly crawling out of it. All the residents nearby have fled.”
Jiang Chunai listened and nodded.
“Alas, I truly hope the immortal families unite to wipe out these demons in one fell swoop…” the woman muttered, then her eyes darted, and she asked Jiang Chunai to help her with another task. “Immortal Elder, can you help me kill one more demon?”
Jiang Chunai naturally agreed.
“Another Immortal Elder came not long ago, but that Immortal Elder went in and hasn’t sent any news, so I’m worried about her too,” she murmured.
Jiang Chunai was puzzled, but only asked the woman to lead her to the cave, which was overgrown with weeds.
“See, this cave looks ordinary! At first glance, there’s nothing…”
However, before the woman could finish speaking, an earth-shaking roar came from inside. The woman was scared out of her wits and quickly hid behind Jiang Chunai.
Jiang Chunai formed a hand seal, and brilliant golden light immediately appeared around her, protecting the woman and ricocheting the incoming shockwave back.
She drew Snow Camellia. “I’ll go take a look.”
Passing through the weed-choked cave entrance and entering inside, she found it was a lion demon.
Its cultivation was not high, and Jiang Chunai was more than capable of dealing with it. She effortlessly performed the First Form of Purple Lightning Green Frost; her longsword glided like a swimming dragon, mixed with pale white sword energy like frost and snow, suddenly breaking through.
The lion demon let out a mighty roar, and was instantly killed.
The woman had just mentioned that this lion demon had been causing harm for a long time, yet now it was killed in an instant.
It seems the demon scourge has indeed been severe lately… and there aren’t enough demon slayers.
But what exactly is causing so many demons to appear?
Despite easily defeating this lion demon, Jiang Chunai cautiously moved forward, but before she had taken two steps, a surprised and delighted voice came from behind her. “Senior Sister! Senior Sister Chunai!”
…Ah? Someone here knows her?
Jiang Chunai turned around blankly, only to find it was none other than her junior sister, Yan Linglong.
At this moment, she was crawling out of a patch of dirt, covered in dust and grime, whimpering, “Sob, sob, Senior Sister, I was so excited when I saw that purple light just now! I thought it was one of our Mount Shu disciples, but it was you, Senior Sister!”
“Alright, alright, I just killed this demon,” Jiang Chunai said, patting Yan Linglong’s head and smiling helplessly. “Did you come out alone?”
“Yes, alone!” Yan Linglong puffed out her cheeks. “I was thinking Senior Sister Han Xiao’s birthday was approaching, so I came down the mountain to get her a gift, but I didn’t expect to run into a demon…”
Jiang Chunai sighed. “Alone and inexperienced, it’s always dangerous, but it’s alright now.”
The fine line under her eye began to twitch again.
However, the commotion was small; she didn’t even bother to blink. Han Xiao pierced the chest of the tree demon before her almost instantaneously.
Twilight Kite moved, golden light poured down like flowing water, bright light flickering.
Green blood gushed out, and she immediately tapped her toes, soaring away.
“It’s dead,” she said, taking out her soul artifact to collect the soul of this tree demon.
From the Underworld Crossing Domain, she had to slay a total of eighty-one demons.
On this mountain, there were two more.
Not a single demon on the register could be spared. Therefore, Han Xiao left no chance of survival in her attacks.
Jing Shun peaked out, having seen the entire scene of Han Xiao soaring away.
Was she really so concerned about getting blood on herself?
If someone like this became an elder, or even the Sect Leader, what would happen? he muttered inwardly.
However, he still walked up to the dead tree demon, inspected the wounds, and cleaned up the remaining mess.
“Hiss, this woman is truly ruthless,” Jing Shun felt an inexplicable pang in his heart as he saw the enormous hole. He secretly glanced at Han Xiao from the corner of his eye.
Han Xiao had already sheathed her sword and stood tall and slender, her gaze indifferent.
Her sleeve was still embroidered with a plum blossom.
Someone so immortal-like and virtuous, yet her strikes were so ruthless.
She showed no mercy to demons at all. If she was like this to other species, then to her own kind…
No, no, no, he couldn’t think that way.
No matter how terrifying Han Xiao was, she was still human!
Jing Shun cleaned up the mess, then walked over to Han Xiao, teasing, “Senior Sister is truly merciless towards evil demons.”
“The remaining mountains will be like this too, won’t they?”
Han Xiao glanced at him and said lightly, “Of course.”
