The years I was in the human world

The Wuxiang Peak of Bailichangqing is deserted and empty. Xiao Fengzhuo follows Lu Zhouxue down the mountain road. It is quite quiet because of the deep forest and lush grass.

"Why are you here?" Lu Zhouxue asked. Xiao Fengzhuo looked lazy and no one knew where he slept during the day. He came to visit Baili Changqing today without telling Xiao Fengzhuo in advance. He did not expect that the other party would appear here and protect him in front of Baili Changqing.

"I came to see you." Xiao Fengzhuo put his hands behind his head and yawned, looking lazy as if he had not woken up yet.

"Looking for me?" Lu Zhouxue was puzzled. "Why are you looking for me?"

"I'm just bored." Xiao Fengzhuo yawned again, unable to open his eyelids. He leaned on Lu Zhouxue's shoulder and said in a sticky tone, "Mianmian, can you lend me your shoulder?"

"How can I leave like this?" Lu Zhouxue was helpless, but she didn't push him away. She just couldn't help wondering what this guy did every day to be so sleepy.

"It's okay." Xiao Fengzhuo yawned again, and the next moment Lu Zhouxue realized that there was an empty space beside him, and there was a ball of fur on his shoulder, with a warm and soft touch.

Lu Zhouxue lifted the furry cat off his shoulders and slightly widened his eyes. The gray kitten with amber eyes was looking at him sleepily. Seeing his surprised face, it opened its mouth and uttered a sticky "meow~"

"What's wrong with you...?" Lu Zhouxue felt a little at a loss as he held the kitten. He always felt that such a soft little life was so fragile that he would die if he was not careful. He had no connection with the careless Xiao Fengzhuo at all.

"I'm tired. It's more convenient to sleep on your shoulder like this." The amber-eyed kitten climbed up Lu Zhouxue's arm and onto his shoulder. It stepped on the soft pads of its flesh and found a comfortable position to lie down. The young man's voice clearly appeared in his ears, and he could also feel his warm breath. "Are you really going to Dongshan?"

"Did you hear everything?" Lu Zhouxue raised his hand and touched the cat's head.

"Yeah." Xiao Fengzhuo responded, "I heard a lot. The situation in Dongshan is very complicated. It's not what you imagined. Yu Zhao is dead. It's up to Baili Changqing to make his decision, but there's no need for you to get involved."

"We have to go." Lu Zhouxue said.

Xiao Fengzhuo was about to fall asleep, and his words became unclear: "You won't turn back until you hit the wall. Which little peacock gave you some kind of magic potion..."

Lu Zhouxue was about to speak when she heard Xiao Fengzhuo say intermittently: "Forget it, if you want to go, go ahead, I'll go with you... Anyway, the Demon King..." Lu Zhouxue did not hear the rest of the words because the kitten on her shoulder started snoring and had fallen asleep.

Lu Zhouxue sighed lightly, his brows softened. He could probably guess the reason why Xiao Fengzhuo dissuaded him. In the other party's eyes, he probably wanted to help because he sympathized with Peacock.

But in fact, the reason why Lu Zhouxue wanted to go to Dongshan was not out of sympathy, nor was it to repay the karma as he said in front of Baili Changqing, but because of the demon-suppressing mark on his arm, which had evil energy. Evil energy only existed in the Buzhou Mountain in the God Realm, but ever since Xiao Jin voluntarily entered the Land of Nirvana, there was no evil energy in the Buzhou Mountain, except for Xiao Yueheng, who was born as an evil spirit.

However, evil spirits appeared in the cultivation world under Mount Buzhou, and it seemed to have lasted for a long time. Lu Zhouxue had an incredible guess. Could the ghost king who created the demon-suppressing scar be related to Xiao Yueheng? The Dongshan ghost den was the only way for him to contact the ghost king.

……

Baili Changqing acted quickly. Within a few days, he had counted the men and headed for the Dongshan ghost den. However, out of consideration for the face of Master Lingzhong and Master Mingjing, he did not openly say that he wanted to thoroughly investigate the old case in Dongshan. Instead, he said that he was going to inquire about the situation in the ghost den and find ways to exorcise the evil spirits and eliminate the ghost den.

The Dongshan Ghost Den has been a major concern for the entire cultivation world since its birth. Now that the Supreme Elder has personally taken action to resolve the ghost den, the entire cultivation world naturally responded and sent people to help. Although in order to preserve the power of the sect, only the younger generation of disciples were sent, they were all the best masters in the sect.

Venerable Mingjing and Master Lingzhong stayed in the back of the court. Yaoguang was worried that they would find out something, so she volunteered to go with them. Ye Jin wanted to go with them, but was stopped by Lu Zhouxue. Xiao Fengzhuo added, "Dongshan is not a good place. Although we are only going there to find out the situation and there is a supreme elder in charge, it is not without danger. If you go with them and something happens, who will take care of the little peacock?"

Ye Jin was about to say that his father was still here, but Xiao Fengzhuo immediately interrupted him with a half-smile: "You won't count on your cold and heartless father, will you?"

"You're talking nonsense again." Lu Zhouxue pushed him helplessly. Only a scoundrel like Xiao Fengzhuo could do such a thing as making up stories about him in front of his son.

There were a total of more than a hundred people when they set out, which was not a lot, but after all, they were not going to clear out the evil spirits. This number of people was enough to explore Dongshan. Lu Zhouxue and Xiao Fengzhuo naturally also mingled among the cultivators.

"Are you really going?" Before leaving, Lu Zhouxue asked Xiao Fengzhuo again, "This is originally a feud between human cultivators and evil spirits. There is no need for you, a demon, to get involved."

"When the lips and teeth are gone, the evil spirits don't discriminate based on race." Xiao Fengzhuo said. He pointed to a group of people gathered in twos and threes not far away and said, "I know Mianmian is worried about me, but if those yellow-haired boys can go, why can't I?"

Lu Zhouxue looked in the direction of his finger. Actually, that group of people were not really young boys. They were probably outstanding disciples of the younger generation of some sect. They looked very young and their realm was probably in the late Golden Core stage or early Nascent Soul stage. Their strength was only average in the entire cultivation world. But they were young. With such cultivation at such a young age, it was clear that they had a bright future.

"You are an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years to reach the Nascent Soul stage. How dare you say that to a young boy?" Lu Zhouxue shook her head and covered Xiao Fengzhuo's mouth. "Don't let anyone hear you say that. I'm sure they will beat you up. How can you complain?"

"Mianmian is right." Xiao Fengzhuo nodded seriously, "After all, my talent is mediocre, definitely not as good as theirs. If someone beats me up in the future, you must protect me!"

"I don't think it will be necessary in the future." Lu Zhouxue looked at the young monks who came to pick a fight after hearing Xiao Fengzhuo's "brave words" and silently stood in front of him, "Young masters, do you have anything to do?"

"It's none of your business. Get out of the way." The leading young man frowned impatiently, raised his sword and pointed at Xiao Fengzhuo behind Lu Zhouxue. His words and actions were appropriate, but his tone was not respectful. "It was you who spoke rudely just now. Come on, let's fight."

"Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Fengzhuo saw that he had someone backing him up, and he was still jumping behind Lu Zhouxue, looking like he was just here to watch the fun, as if he hadn't caused it. Seeing how arrogant he was, Lu Zhouxue, who was standing in front of him, silently moved away, and even made a gesture of invitation to the teenagers. The leading teenager bowed to him and said, "Thank you."

Then he urged his spiritual power to attack Xiao Fengzhuo. The man who was so proud of himself just a moment ago widened his eyes in disbelief. While dodging in embarrassment, he complained to Lu Zhouxue: "Mianmian, you don't care about me?!"

Lu Zhouxue put her fist to her lips and coughed lightly, avoiding Xiao Fengzhuo's gaze and said softly, "You can handle it."

"I don't think I can." Xiao Fengzhuo barely avoided the sword move that the young man was aiming at him. He thought that if he was a step slower, he would be beaten to a pulp on the spot. He decided not to be careless and saw that Lu Zhouxue really didn't care about him. He immediately stopped being indecisive and fought with the young man for a while. However, he saw that the other party still had no intention of stopping. After failing to defeat him for a long time, he even wanted to kill him.

Seeing this, Xiao Fengzhuo's face darkened. He used his Qi to push the young man back. He still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold: "We are all colleagues. We are just exchanging some ideas. Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Lu Zhouxue naturally saw the problem, so she didn't say anything. She just looked at the young men with the same cold gaze, waiting for them to explain.

The boy who was shaken away stumbled back a few steps and was supported by the others: "Big Brother, are you okay?"

The leading young man shook his head. His fellow apprentice who was supporting him saw sweat on his forehead and turned to the two men opposite him and said indignantly, "Who is a colleague of your lowly monsters?"

"Hey, you kid." Xiao Fengzhuo raised his eyebrows. He knew very well that human cultivators looked down on human-demon hybrids, and also looked down on other races. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to accept the young man's words at this moment.

However, Lu Zhouxue, even though he had cultivated himself for many years and had long since mastered the habit of not being surprised by fame or disgrace, could not help but feel veins throbbing on his forehead when he heard the young man's remarks. How should I put it? In the eyes of God, all species are the same. Lu Zhouxue really did not understand the logic behind the mutual discrimination among these creatures who also relied on the breath of heaven to survive.

Seeing that he was obviously angry, Xiao Fengzhuo, who was at the center of the incident, advised him: "Alright, they are just a bunch of little brats, why bother with them?"

"Even if they are just children, they are still taught by their elders." Lu Zhouxue looked up at Xiao Fengzhuo somewhat weakly. The latter somehow understood his emotions. What Lu Zhouxue cared about was not the misbehaving children, but the arrogance and prejudice against other races rooted in the entire cultivation world behind their misbehaving.

However, a few young men were still unyielding. Perhaps it was the sect's flashy flattery, or perhaps it was their extraordinary talents, but these young men naturally had a kind of pride that was almost arrogance. Even though Lu Zhouxue and Xiao Fengzhuo were at a higher level than them, they naturally lost their manners just because they were monsters.

"Who do you call a little brat? How can a monster enter the court? We will kill you with our swords today to serve as a warning to others." After saying that, several young men dispersed in an instant, drew their swords and formed a formation. For a moment, the flashes of swords and sabers were visible, and Lu Zhouxue actually felt the surging sword intent.

The conflict between the two parties was quite loud and had already attracted the attention of other people nearby, but everyone tacitly chose to remain silent. They probably had the same idea as the teenagers, so even if the two monsters were beaten to death, they would not care much, but just watch the excitement from the sidelines.

Lu Zhouxue pulled Xiao Fengzhuo back five feet away in surprise. He had underestimated this group of young men. When the sword formation was formed, it really gave people a sense of deterrence that all evil demons would be beheaded by the sword. It was a pity that he was the "evil demon" who was about to be beheaded.

"Seven-layer sword formation, these little brats are quite good." Xiao Fengzhuo looked at the sword formation in front of him with interest. He explained to Lu Zhouxue, "This formation is modified from a set of sword techniques in the ancient secret realm. Although the sword techniques are good, each layer is a set of different sword moves. It is almost impossible for one person to comprehend all of them. Even Baili Changqing, the current number one swordsman, has only comprehended two or three of them."

"Someone changed the sword technique into a sword formation, and seven people are practicing it. It's a very smart move, as it not only retains the power of the sword technique, but also reduces the difficulty. If the sword formation is practiced, it can almost be comparable to the Nine Directions Killing Formation. However..." Xiao Fengzhuo changed the subject and said, "These brats are only half-baked. The best they can do with the seven-layer sword formation is three and a half layers."

What a triple and a half! Lu Zhouxue couldn't help pursing her lips, trying her best to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth, but the smile in her eyes still leaked out. Xiao Fengzhuo, who was staring at him intently, froze in his eyes, then turned his head away in embarrassment, covering his heart that was beating non-stop, and secretly cursing himself for being useless.

The two of them were chatting as if no one was around, which naturally made the young men in the sword formation even more angry. They had practiced sword formation for many years, but now they were being looked down upon. They immediately worked together to gather a sword and attacked the two of them.

Xiao Fengzhuo stood beside Lu Zhouxue calmly, even wanting to make a joke. He exaggeratedly exclaimed "Wow", and then said: "This sword is at least 70% mixed with personal grudges. You are a child, and your mind is really small."

"Just say less." Lu Zhouxue was helpless. He built a thick ice wall in front of him, which destroyed the boys' combined sword power. While the boys were catching their breath, he raised his hand to summon Tianbai. Thin and dense silk threads emerged from all directions in an instant, binding the seven boys tightly and making them unable to move.

The boys struggled endlessly, urging their spiritual power to try to break free from Kai Tianbai's restraints, cursing: "Monster, what's the point of sneaking up on you? If you have the ability, I'll beat you!"

"It's not a leather drum that needs someone else to play it." Xiao Fengzhuo muttered in a voice that everyone could hear. He stretched out his hand to touch the dense silk threads and sighed, "So this is how you use Tianbai. I thought it could only be used to weave beds."

The crowd watching nearby were stunned by this series of events. They only knew that the seven teenagers' seven-layer sword formation was powerful, but they never thought that they could fall into the hands of just two monsters. After a closer look, the few masters in the state of concentration found that the sloppy man in black was actually in the late Nascent Soul stage, and they could not even see through the current realm of the Phoenix Immortal Lord who took action nearby.

You have to know that Yu Zhao was just at the Nascent Soul stage back then, and now he has only experienced Nirvana, but he has reached the state of concentration or even a higher level?

The people who discovered this situation wiped a cold sweat after realizing it belatedly. Fortunately, they did not follow those ignorant children and provoke the Phoenix Immortal Lord. It would be embarrassing if they offended others, but if they did, it would be bad if others sought revenge in secret.
