It was an ancient sword with a straight blade and a strange hilt. Its aura was cold, but it seemed to be alive. It exuded a special Spirit Qi.
It floated in front of Zhu Minglang. When it realized that the battle was not imminent, it flew to Zhu Minglang's back.
It looked like it was carrying a sword on its back, but it did not have a sword pouch. The Stegosaurus hovered behind Zhu Minglang's back, maintaining a position where he could reach out and grab it …
"I see. We were overthinking. It's rare for us to meet the famous Daoist from the Distant Mountain Sword Sect here. Please don't reject our invitation and come to our forest as guests for a few days. There aren't any cities or villages within a few hundred kilometers of Horseback Mountain Forest. Our sword village will not allow the two of you to eat and sleep in the open," the teacher said politely with a friendly smile.
Zhu Minglang glanced at the Demon Sect's Lady.
The Demon Sect's Lady did not speak.
From the words of the people from the White Robe Sword Sect, it seemed like they had never seen the Demon Sect's Lady before. They also did not know that she was a woman …
"Then I'll accept your invitation," Zhu Minglang agreed.
The wilderness was not as comfortable as a sword village with a beautiful environment and a group of junior sisters. Zhu Minglang did not expose the Demon Sect's Lady's identity, but he also did not reject the White Robe Sword Sect's teacher's good intentions.
"Lin Zhong, Ming Xiu, bring these two to our forest and take good care of them. The rest of you, head in this direction and continue to look for traces of the Demon Sect's disciples," the teacher said.
Then, the teacher bowed apologetically and said to Zhu Minglang again, "The Demon Sect's disciples have ulterior motives. Since we have discovered their whereabouts, we naturally cannot ignore them. Please forgive us."
"Of course. How can a righteous sect not exorcise demons?" Zhu Minglang said.
…
Zhu Minglang packed up his things. When he rolled up the expensive cushion he bought, he also put away the Demon Sect's luxurious moon robe so that the two swordmasters would not see it.
The Demon Sect Lady bit her lips. She wanted to say something but didn't dare to. She just stared at Zhu Minglang with her big eyes.
"Let's go, Little Epiphyllum. Pack up the roasted beef. We can't waste food," Zhu Minglang said to the Demon Cult Woman.
The Demon Hierophant paused. At first, she didn't realize that Little Epiphyllum was calling her. When she noticed the puzzled gazes of the two swordsmen, she hurriedly responded and wrapped the beef in oiled paper.
"Cut it into slices and eat as we walk," Zhu Minglang said with a smile as he handed her the exquisite dagger.
…
He followed Lin Zhong and Ming Xiu to the White Robe Sect Forest. The White Robe Sect Forest's biggest feature was their superb swordsmanship and their reputation as a righteous sect. White robes were seen as a symbol of nobility. Therefore, only swordmasters recognized by the Sword Sect were qualified to wear white robes. They were also known as the White Robe Swordsmen. From time to time, one could hear stories of them doing justice …
Lin Zhong and Ming Xiu were both dressed in white. It was obvious that they were the cream of the crop in the Sword Sect. However, Zhu Minglang did not quite understand why such a group of strong practitioners from the Sword Sect and a senior level figure would be chasing a disciple of the Devil Sect in the wilderness. They had not even seen the disciple of the Devil Sect before.
Zhu Minglang immediately voiced his doubts. After all, he wasn't a Demon Sect disciple. "We're conducting an experiment.
Not long ago, Teacher Lei befriended a powerful talisman master. This talisman master made some tracking talismans that can sense the fluctuations of some heretical spells within a hundred miles and guide us to the location of the fluctuations. This is the first time we've used it today. We didn't expect that there would be a Demon Sect disciple within a hundred miles of our Sword Sect. This made the teachers very angry and ordered us to capture him, so we chased him all the way here. However, this tracking talisman has a time limit. It lost its power at the last mountain, so we searched blindly, "said the white-robed swordsman called Lin Zhong.
"There's such a strange talisman!" Zhu Minglang was greatly surprised.
"Yes, we didn't expect this talisman to be so amazing," said Lin Zhong.
"It's a pity that the Demon Sect disciple didn't run in our direction. Otherwise, I could have helped you," said Zhu Minglang with a sigh.
"It's fine. It's just an experiment. He's probably just a small spy from the Demon Sect who was observing our Sword Sect's movements. It's fine if he ran away," said Lin Zhong.
Lin Zhong didn't have much doubt about Zhu Minglang.
He saw the bonfire that Zhu Minglang had lit. The bonfire had clearly been burning for some time. There was a circle of charcoal around it.
Moreover, the beef was clearly roasted over a slow fire. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
How could a Demon Sect disciple be so meticulous when fleeing in a panic? Furthermore, Zhu Minglang had flashed his flying sword and revealed his identity as a Distant Mountain Sword Sect disciple. There was no reason for him to be a Demon Sect disciple.
"Are you really partners?" asked the white-robed female swordsman, Ming Xiu.
As a woman, she was more observant. She noticed that the Demon Sect disciple and Zhu Minglang's pace didn't match. Furthermore, they didn't maintain the same distance as a normal partner. Instead, she was half a step behind Zhu Minglang.
"Not really. She's my family's head maidservant. She's devoted herself to me. The elders in my family despise her lowly status and want me to marry the head swordswoman of the Distant Mountain Sword Sect. I don't like this arrangement of my family. I feel that the esteemed swordswoman isn't as good as my little Epiphyllum. Therefore, I brought her away from home," explained Zhu Minglang calmly with a smile.
This explanation made the Demon Sect's female disciple stare at him with her watery eyes filled with humiliation.
How did she become a maidservant???
And devoted herself to it!
There were clearly so many explanations. How could this person be so shameless!?
"Brother, you're so sincere. If I were you, I wouldn't dare to go against my family's arrangements," Lin Zhong gave Zhu Minglang a thumbs up.
"Then it's not easy for you either. Little Sister, you're so lucky to have met a man who's willing to leave home for you," Ming Xiu was more emotional. She was quickly convinced by Zhu Minglang.
"Yeah, yeah," the Demon Sect disciple could only agree with hatred.
"It's fine. Once she's pregnant, our family will accept her for the sake of our Zhu Clan's flesh and blood," continued Zhu Minglang.
The Demon Sect disciple was so angry that she almost threw the knife at Zhu Minglang.
Not only did he give her such a tacky maidservant name like "Little Epiphyllum", he even said that she was pregnant. Despicable!
How could a righteous sect have such a despicable person!?
"We're almost there. It's just past the mountain in front," said Lin Zhong.
"If I knew your sect was here, I would have shamelessly asked for a place to stay," said Zhu Minglang.
"Our sect is quite hidden. It's normal that ordinary people don't know about it. It's already late at night. I'll ask someone to arrange a place for you to stay. You should rest early. I'll show you around the White Robe Sword Sect tomorrow morning," said Ming Xiu.
