Sensing the terrifying aura coming from all directions, the woman in red's strange smile froze on her face. Terror appeared in her eyes.
In the next second, she felt a pressure on her neck, and her beautiful face instantly became incomparably ferocious.
She knew that the newcomer did not come with good intentions, but she did not expect the latter's cultivation to be so terrifying!
Looking at the woman in red who had revealed her malicious ghost form, Mu Qingxiao was calm and asked again, "Are you also Ye Chenxiang?"
"All men deserve to die. Don't expect me to tell you!"
Although her life was not in her hands, the woman in red was not afraid at all. She opened her mouth and blew a cold wind at Mu Qingxiao.
Seeing that the cold wind that could cause people to fall into illusions had no effect, she turned her head to the side.
Mu Qingxiao's brows furrowed. He did not plan to waste words with her.
Three jade hooks appeared in his starry eyes. When their eyes met, the woman in red's eyes also reflected the three jade hooks. Her hideous expression also became dazed.
"You are Ye Chenxiang?"
"Yes."
In reality, Mu Qingxiao had guessed Ye Chenxiang's identity the moment he saw her. The aura she unconsciously revealed was not something an ordinary servant girl would have.
Even though she had died decades ago, her aura from when she was alive was still present and would unconsciously reveal it.
Also, her dressing and appearance did not look like a servant girl at all. She looked more like the daughter of a wealthy family.
After confirming the woman in red's identity, Mu Qingxiao took out the jade from his storage space and said, "Have you seen this before?"
"Yes, it is in Master's hands."
Glancing at the jade, Ye Chenxiang nodded with a dazed gaze.
Focusing his gaze, Mu Qingxiao was curious about the master Ye Chenxiang spoke of. He said, "Take me to see your master."
"Yes."
Like a puppet, Ye Chenxiang floated in front while Mu Qingxiao followed closely behind. They slowly walked into the darkness of the corridor.
The corridor led to the deepest part of the courtyard. The deeper they went, the thicker the yin energy.
Due to the lack of human activity for decades, the walls on both sides of the corridor were covered in dust. There was even a purple mold growing.
The musty smell in the tunnel was very strong. Mu Qingxiao felt a little uncomfortable, so she blocked her sense of smell.
A few minutes later, a metal door appeared in front of him. The heavy iron lock on the door had already fallen to the ground. This seemed to be the Ye Family's warehouse.
When Ye Chenxiang stopped at the entrance of the warehouse, Mu Qingxiao knew that the so-called owner was probably hiding in the warehouse.
This was because he could feel that not only was the Yin Qi here abundant, but the Spiritual Qi in the world was also exceptionally dense, and it was constantly gathering from all directions.
Only the Immortal Artifact Alioth could produce such a phenomenon.
"Boom …"
Accompanied by a rumbling sound, a strange scene appeared. The heavy metal door slowly opened, and a dense Yin Qi surged out from within.
"Kekeke, what a reckless brat. You actually dared to break into this king's lair. However, the aura in your body is really tempting. It's much more delicious than the ordinary people at the foot of the mountain."
The Yin Qi reverberated, and the dim light in the corridor seemed to disappear. A sinister laugh sounded, and a cloud of black smoke appeared in the corridor.
The black smoke floated in the air, and finally condensed into a burly body. The body was covered by the black smoke, but it released an extremely terrifying aura.
Looking at the black smoke floating in the air, Mu Qingxiao said uncertainly, "Dream Demon?"
Dream Demons were an extremely powerful type of demon in the Ancient Sword Fantasy Lair. They liked to hide in places with abundant Yin Qi, such as tombs and unmarked graves.
The Dream Demon's personality was extremely cruel. Their greatest hobby was to suck the Yin and Yang Qi from people's bodies to increase their cultivation.
Regardless of gender, age, or gender, as long as they took a fancy to them, they would mysteriously die in less than half a month.
Back then, the Dream Demons were a scourge to the world. The disciples of a few major sects were also killed, and it immediately caused the Cultivation Sects to be wary.
One had to know that ordinary spells were useless against Dream Demons. In other words, as long as the cultivation was lower than them, they were basically invincible.
This was why the Cultivation Sects were wary of them, and they even destroyed them.
After the Dream Demons were destroyed, the higher-ups of the Cultivation Sects were finally at ease. However, they didn't think that there would still be Dream Demons in the world.
Mu Qingxiao had inadvertently read about Dream Demons in the Heaven's Wall City when he was flipping through ancient books.
He just didn't think that there would be a day when he would meet Dream Demons.
"Hehe … You actually guessed my identity. Since that's the case, this will be your burial ground."
After being exposed by Mu Qingxiao, the Dream Demon was shocked. The Dream Demons had disappeared for 100 years, but someone could still recognize it.
If this matter spread to the Cultivation Sects, it would not have peace in the future. Immediately, an extremely powerful killing intent rose up in its heart.
It definitely couldn't let this kid leave, not even his corpse. After this matter was over, it had to kill all the villagers at the foot of Jade Mountain to prevent news from spreading.
At the thought of this, a claw formed by black fog directly pierced towards Mu Qingxiao's heart.
With a cold snort, Mu Qingxiao mobilized his Spirit Qi and said, "Third Stage of the Void Refinement Stage. You don't know what's good for you. I'll use you to test the power of my sword technique."
"Kongming Sword!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura lifted the roof of the corridor, and dozens of illusory sword shadows shot down from the sky.
Before the Dream Demon could react, the black fog surrounding it was pierced into a hornet's nest by the sword shadows. The Dream Demon seemed to have suffered heavy injuries as it constantly roared in exasperation.
"Despicable, despicable human. I'll suck your life out and turn you into a Spirit of the Dead. Then, I'll kill everyone at the foot of the mountain!"
"Hmph, wait until you can leave this place alive!"
The Sword Qi around his body condensed into one. Mu Qingxiao's index and middle fingers clasped together, and a huge sword pillar formed by Sword Qi shot down.
"Great Void Sword!"
Under the terrifying Sword Qi, the Dream Demon struggled with all its might. The black fog surged violently, but due to Mu Qingxiao's terrifying strength, there was no room for resistance.
The huge sword shadow seemed to have broken the limits of time and space. In an instant, it shot down and pierced through the Dream Demon and the ground.
The terrifying Sword Qi wreaked havoc. The walls on both sides of the corridor had long been destroyed, and the surroundings were in ruins.
After the Great Void Sword pierced through the Dream Demon, Mu Qingxiao's eyes narrowed. The black fog was still wriggling, and a weak voice was heard from within.
"Kid, I'll remember you." With that, the Dream Demon turned into a black fog and rushed out of the Leisure Manor at a strange speed.
Mu Qingxiao's lips curled into a cold smile. "If I don't let you go, do you think you can leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dream Demon, who had just passed by the manor, floated in the air. Its voice was filled with fear and hysteria. "Impossible! With your strength, how could you set up a barrier!"
