Lonemoon flew down the mountain with Shen Ying on his sword. They walked towards the Immortal Ascension Stone by the sea. It was densely pasted with slips of paper. Some were from a long time ago, while some were very new. All kinds of wishes and requests were written on the slips of paper.
Ever since the last time they opened the mountain to recruit disciples, mortals would often come here. Some people started pasting all kinds of wishes on the stone, hoping that immortals could help them fulfill them. They had already used the Immortal Ascension Stone as a divine stone. But among these slips of paper, there were also some requests for help, like demons causing trouble.
When Lonemoon saw them when he went out to spread his wealth, he would also solve them. Slowly, it became a custom. Those who really met with difficulties would come here from far away to seek help from immortals. To distinguish, the slips of paper would be marked in red.
He glanced at it and saw three red slips of paper. He took them down. Two of the locations were rather far away. The closest one was a two-day journey. He glanced at it and decided to make a trip.
So he handed the slip of paper in his hand to Jian Xing and said, "Let's go to the west, to this place called Quhang City."
"Yes, Master." Jian Xing nodded and took it. He glanced at it and handed it to the other three.
Just as they were about to fly on their swords, a female voice suddenly sounded. "Brother!"
A woman who looked to be in her thirties ran over. She looked at Jian Xing in the middle with a look of surprise. She looked a little familiar, and she had cultivation, just that she was still in the Qi Refinement realm.
"Little Lin!" Jian Xing was stunned. He blurted out, "Why are you here?"
Fatty was shocked. This person was actually Zhi Lin, Jian Xing's younger sister. It was just that her current appearance was no longer that of a young girl. She looked much older than Jian Xing.
The joy on the woman's face faded and was replaced by worry. Tears even gathered in her eyes. "Brother, I've been waiting here all these years." She turned to look at Lonemoon and knelt down. "Exalted Master, I was young and ignorant back then. I made a huge mistake. I already know I was wrong. I've been regretting it all these years. I dare not ask for Exalted Master's forgiveness. I only hope … only hope for a chance to forgive me. "
Lonemoon's expression darkened. He glanced at her and said, "Really? Then tell me, where did you go wrong? "
Zhi Lin was stunned, as if she did not know how to answer. He subconsciously looked at Shen Ying who was at the side, rolled his eyes and said, "I … I shouldn't have been disrespectful to Elder Sister Shen, no, it's Master Shen! I … "
"Heh!" Before she could finish speaking, Lonemoon laughed coldly and said, "You don't even know what you did wrong, so how can you say that you did wrong?" If she really knew that she was in the wrong, she wouldn't have appeared here today, much less in such a weak state.
Back then, Fatty had crippled their cultivation, but he hadn't harmed their foundations or caused them to lose their memories. If she worked hard enough, she would have long since regained her cultivation of a mere Foundation Establishment stage. However, she was still in the Qi Refining stage.
Lonemoon did not look at her again. He turned to the others and said, "Once you're ready, we can set off." With that said, he summoned his sword and pulled Shen Ying into the air.
"Exalted Master!" Zhi Lin looked anxious. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she could only look at Jian Xing. "Brother!"
Jian Xing took a look at her, held it in, and turned to fly away on his sword.
The others followed, but Mushroom took a look at her and called out softly, "Little Sister Zhi Lin …"
"Mushroom!" Fatty called her and pulled her away.
Zhi Lin still did not give up. She just followed behind them on her sword with a sad expression.
Jian Xing turned back to take a look. A moment later, he turned back and continued to fly on his sword.
"Do you think that I was too heartless to those disciples?" Lonemoon looked at Jian Xing and asked.
Jian Xing was stunned. He shook his head and said, "No, they were the ones who made mistakes and let down Master's expectations. Now … they are just returning to their original position. It's just that … "He could not help but look back again. Then he said seriously," Zhi Lin is my sister after all. Although I know that she can never return to the sect, I can't be completely heartless to her. "He looked troubled, but there was no resentment in his eyes.
"Mm, it's good that you understand." Lonemoon nodded. This disciple could see clearly. There was no need for him to worry. "Although she is no longer a disciple of the sect, there is no need to be too distant to her. It's good that you know your limits."
"Yes, Master!"
Lonemoon did not continue speaking. He continued to fly towards his destination. Shen Ying, who was behind him, suddenly turned half her body from behind Father Niu and looked straight at Jian Xing.
Jian Xing looked up subconsciously, only to see Shen Ying giving him a big smile. He was stunned for a moment. His face was blank. But strangely … he suddenly felt a little flustered.

Lonemoon and his disciples flew for two days. They finally arrived at Quhang City. This was a relatively large city in the west. The note described the strange things that had happened in the city recently. A few months ago, the people in the city seemed to have collectively contracted a strange disease. They would inexplicably fall into a deep sleep at night. And everyone would have nightmares. They would only wake up in the morning. The locals thought that there was a demon causing trouble. They went to the seaside to seek help from immortals.
In order to avoid alerting the demon, they disguised themselves as a merchant team entering the city to buy goods. Lonemoon found an inn to stay in and let them ask around.
The four of them inquired around the city seriously. They only returned after sunset. They began to exchange their findings.
"I heard that the people here fall asleep every midnight. It seems that the demon only appears at night."
"But there is no remnant demonic aura in the city. It seems that it is not a demon."
"The people in the west said that this has been happening for five or six months. Not only do people fall asleep at night, but there are also people who fall asleep mysteriously during the day."
"That's right. The people in the east said that too. And those who fall asleep during the day will only wake up after four or five days. Some even need more than ten days."
After they finished talking, they all looked at Lonemoon in the middle. It was obvious that they had no clue.
"Did you go to see those people who were unconscious?" Lonemoon reminded him.
Jian Xing finally spoke up. "Master, I have gone to see a few of them. But there are no other abnormalities in their bodies. It looks like they are just sleeping. "
"Yes." The oldest of the four also said, "I have also used spirit Qi to check their bodies. There is no trace of demonic aura invading them."
"Mm." Lonemoon nodded. "Have you thought of any countermeasures?"
The four of them looked at each other before answering, "We plan to wait until midnight tonight. After we have ascertained the situation, we will talk about it."
