Chapter 224: Bloodthirsty Gathering Immortal Banner
This fan was made to imitate the Shanhe fan, and its quality was much worse. But fortunately, I repaired it and asked the fourth brother to add new paintings on it.

Thinking of He Dazhi, Murong Ji's eyes lit up. Fourth senior brother's place was a good place for the Mountain and River Fan.

As for whether it is suitable or not, it doesn’t matter. He is a weapon refiner, and it is easy for him to refine a magic weapon suitable for Fourth Senior Brother.

Then, Murong Ji looked at the huge rock.

The boulder emitted a faint glow, among which the three words "Dead Soul Abyss" were the brightest.

Looking closely, it is indeed a magic weapon, but its quality is extremely poor and it is not convenient to use.

[How about moving it? It just requires refining another storage bag. ]

As soon as Murong Ji had this thought, the voice of the Vajra Bracelet appeared in his mind, [No! This is a seal. You are not capable of solving the problems in the Dead Abyss right now.]

Murong Ji's expression suddenly became serious, and his heart skipped a beat. The diamond bracelet had warned him before, "Seal? What is sealed inside?"

【do not know. 】

Lu Xueqi looked over. His words were too abrupt. After thinking for a moment, she stood up and walked towards Murong Ji.

Standing behind him, I watched Murong Ji staring at the huge rock in a daze.

Murong Ji exhaled slowly, calmed down, and regardless of his physical fatigue, he pulled Lu Xueqi out of the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave.

I looked up at the endless starry sky. The sky was turning pale. It was almost dawn, and the depressed feeling in my heart began to ease.

They wanted to say a few words, but before they could open their mouths, the sound of countless flapping wings was heard. Murong Ji and Lu Xueqi looked at each other. They were vampire bats.

Thinking of the miserable situation when they just arrived at Kongsang Mountain, they felt disgusted. They didn't want to be entangled by these bats again.

Before he could even fly up with his sword, a swarm of vampire bats came over like a dark cloud. Murong Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly. What he feared would come true.

"Since we can't avoid them, let's just deal with these vampire bats. Once they grow bigger, the people around here will suffer."

Lu Xueqi did not answer, but looked at Murong Ji solemnly. No need to speak, I knew what she meant.

How to eliminate such a large number?

Murong Ji took out the Gathering Immortals Banner again and hung it on the side wall of the entrance to the Wanfu Ancient Cave.

He raised the Tianwen Sword, dug out a small cave that could accommodate two people, and squeezed in with Lu Xueqi.

Then he sealed it with the huge stone, leaving only a hole for ventilation. Murong Ji controlled the Juxian Banner with the power of Baihong Palm, waiting for the group of vampire bats to come back.

The vampire bats outside were in chaos for a while, and then gradually quieted down.

When everything was calm, Murong Ji put the huge rock away again.

The sun has come out.

Murong Ji glanced around and saw dead bats all over the ground. Almost all of them were skin and bones, and they made a crisp crackling sound when he stepped on them.

He looked back at Lu Xueqi and saw that her face was gloomy and the smile on her face gradually faded.

They looked at each other without saying a word.

Murong Ji cleaned up the bat corpses piled at the entrance of the cave, took out the Gathering Immortal Banner, glanced at it a few times, and the effect was beyond words, it absorbed such a huge amount of qi and blood.

This made the Gathering Immortal Banner look a little weird. With a sudden shake, the remaining blood energy on it slowly dissipated.

With the circulation of true Qi, the Gathering Immortal Banner slowly refined the Qi and blood, extracting the remaining evil Qi and dissipating it in the air.

Looking at it again, this Gathering Immortals Banner actually has a fairy-like feel.

Holding the Juxian Banner, he forced a smile and looked at Lu Xueqi, but she still looked serious. So he said, "Xueqi, how do you distinguish between good and evil?"

"Is it the camp? Or is it the human heart? If someone practices evil but does good deeds, is he good or evil?"

Seeing that Lu Xueqi still didn't say a word, Murong Ji suddenly felt that his relationship with Lu Xueqi was going to fail. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, as everything was fine before.

Just because he refined a banner?

Although the relationship between them had not reached that level, he could feel Lu Xueqi's response.

Now Lu Xueqi refused to communicate with him emotionally.

Murong Ji sighed softly and said, "Those who suppress their emotions and desires are the best, and those who eliminate their desires are the second best. If you can't suppress your emotions and desires, you can suppress them..."

Having said this, he looked at Lu Xueqi's expressionless face and said slowly: "That's right."

Lu Xueqi remained silent. Murong Ji sighed softly, rolled up the Gathering Immortal Banner and put it away.

"Xueqi, let's go."

They flew up on their swords, and half an hour later, they landed directly outside the nearby city.

Standing at the city gate, Murong Ji looked up and saw the Demon-Dangling City.

It is said that this was the stronghold of righteous people who entered Kongsang Mountain to fight against demons 800 years ago, and it later developed into a city.

Glancing around, they saw everyone was secretly looking at them. After all, Lu Xueqi's appearance was really amazing.

Don't think about teasing them with local hooligans. They are not fools. They know very well who they can afford to offend and who they can't afford to offend, unless they are monks.

After entering the inn, Murong Ji asked for a room, quietly handed a few taels of silver to the innkeeper, and gave him a wink.

The shopkeeper was a shrewd man. "Sir, there is only one room left in our shop. How about you two take care of it?"

Lu Xueqi turned around and left without even giving Murong Ji a chance to say a word.

After entering the second inn, Lu Xueqi took the lead and said before Murong Ji: "One room upstairs."

"Huh?" Murong Ji was a little confused. Just as he was distracted, Lu Xueqi took the key and went straight upstairs.

"No, Xueqi..." Just as she was about to ask, she reacted instantly and handed over the silver. "A table of top-quality wine and banquet. Thank you."

After saying that, he quickly chased after Lu Xueqi.

The shopkeeper was confused, then he reacted and rubbed the silver on his body, "Oh, young people just know how to have fun."

Then, he bit the silver. "Well, it's of good quality."

Before Lu Xueqi entered the room, Murong Ji grabbed the door that she was about to close and said, "Xueqi, I have..."

Lu Xueqi directly drew out the Tianya Sword and slashed at him, fast and fiercely.

"I rely on!"

"Bang!" The door was closed and hope was shattered.

Murong Ji sighed softly, "Xueqi..."

"roll!"

Murong Ji was silent for a long time, then came to his senses and decided to get down to business first, so he turned around and went to the City Lord's Mansion.

See if Qi Hao left any message.

When he came back, he booked a room, moved his things into the room, sorted the materials one by one, and sent the ones he knew and the unimportant ones back to Qingyunmen.

The remaining unknown spiritual materials and some precious materials were carried with him.

It's approaching dusk.

Murong Ji walked to the door of Lu Xueqi's room and coughed softly, "Xueqi, open the door."

It was so quiet inside that he even doubted whether there was anyone else there.

After thinking for a while, he pressed his palm on the door and pulled out the bolt from the inside with Baihong Palm Power. When he entered the room, he saw Lu Xueqi sitting there quietly, silently looking at the scenery outside the window.

[She's worried.] He knew that Lu Xueqi was weighing their relationship.

She has always been smart and has always known what she wants.

Murong Ji turned around and locked the door, then moved a chair and sat next to Lu Xueqi, and said softly, "Senior Brother Qi left a message for us."

"Master sent a message that a demon sect is gathering at Liupo Mountain in the East China Sea, and asked us to go and provide support as soon as possible."

Lu Xueqi still didn't speak, Murong Ji held her hand and slowly stroked her soft hand. It was delicate and smooth, but there was a layer of calluses in the center of her hand, which was the result of frequent sword practice.

Murong Ji could understand her tangled and complicated thoughts, and waited quietly for her to make a decision.

"Let me see that, can you tell me what you want to do?"

Lu Xueqi's words startled him. This was the first time someone asked him what he wanted to do.

Murong Ji said without even thinking: "I want to become an immortal and live forever."

This is said sincerely and in accordance with the rules. This is the goal of every person who practices Taoism.

People in the Jade Purity Realm can only live for two hundred years, but people in the Upper Purity Realm can live for four to five hundred years.

Lu Xueqi sighed, "Do you know that evil spirit is the fate of a cultivator? The Tai Chi Xuanqing Taoism that we practice is mainly aimed at eliminating evil spirits and absorbing spiritual energy."

"you still……"

Having said this, Lu Xueqi paused and said, "By that time, I'm afraid I won't have the heart to kill you." As she said that, she pulled her hand out of Murong Ji's hand and turned to look outside.

The smile on Murong Ji's face gradually froze and he became serious, [She had already determined that I would become possessed by the evil spirit].

Come to think of it, there are already so many precedents of people being possessed by demons, there is no reason why I would be spared.

Murong Ji wanted to hold Lu Xueqi's hand again, but she dodged.

A pair of eyes looked at him calmly, without a trace of emotion.

Murong Ji's heart sank to the bottom. The sentence, 'I'm afraid I can't bear to kill you' was enough to explain Lu Xueqi's attitude.

Somewhat unwillingly, he asked very seriously, "What if I won't be possessed by the devil?"

"Then we'll talk about it later. It's getting late. Let's go."

Murong Ji sighed softly, "Junior Sister Lu, have a good rest."

After leaving the house, Murong Ji felt a little confused. The distinction between good and evil is deeply rooted in people's hearts! He looked at Lu Xueqi's room with a wry smile. Was he heartbroken?
At night, Murong Ji sat on the rooftop in the backlight, looking at the starry sky, trying to connect the stars into a familiar shape.

Only in this way will he feel at ease.

Unfortunately, two worlds, different starry skies, and different constellations.

"Should I learn about the astrology of this world?"

I collected my thoughts and started thinking about the future.

The strength of the seventh level of Yuqing is not enough to deal with the upcoming changes, but he cannot be anxious.

When I came to my senses, it was already midnight. I took out the Gathering Immortal Banner and gently stroked the patterns on it.

This is something I made myself to assist in my practice. Now it's time to try out its effects.
