chapter 22

Ji Yan was in a daze when she swallowed the pill. She followed after Shao Xin as he led her through the courtyard where the disciples of the Qingyun Pavilion were resting. Along the way, Ji Yan saw many disciples rushing around with their magical devices. The walls they passed by were all destroyed. There was even a row of finely built houses that collapsed, this scene made Ji Yan’s scalp go numb.

Yin Xuezhuo was like an evolved version of a Husky. He destroyed everything in his path.

Even the excavators that were used to demolish buildings cannot be compared to his strength.

When Ji Yan passed by a disciple, the disciple’s Devil Suppressing Tower in his hand suddenly emitted a strong light. The disciple was startled by the sudden light and immediately shouted at Ji Yan, “Wait a moment!”

Ji Yan stopped walking and turned around.

The disciple circled around Ji Yan with the Devil Suppressing Tower in his hand. The tower became brighter and brighter, it almost blinded the people in the scene.

“Are you a devil?” The disciple stared at Ji Yan and frowned, and then he turned to look at Shao Xin, who was standing beside Ji Yan.

Shao Xin also frowned. He didn’t feel any demonic energy pulsating from Ji Yan’s body, but the Devil Suppression Tower was a magical device. It was impossible for the magical device to be wrong.

Shao Xin was able to detect demonic energy too, but since he couldn’t sense any demonic energy from Ji Yan, then the only possibility was that Ji Yan’s demonic energy was so powerful that she was able to conceal it.

Ji Yan: Oops, I’m about to be exposed!

She immediately pretended to be anxious and put on an act once again. Ji Yan bit her lips, revealed a dazed expression on her face, then she shook her head and muttered, “I don’t know… I am not a devil.”

She was indeed an ordinary person, and everyone could tell that she was weak and ill at the moment.

Even so, it was impossible for the Devil Suppressing Tower to be wrong.

The disciple had a solemn expression on his face when he said to Shao Xin, “Senior brother, I believe she is suspicious. We searched everywhere, but we didn’t feel the slightest demonic energy. But when I walked past this junior sister, the Devil Suppressing Tower was able to detect a huge amount of demonic energy from her that we aren’t able to detect. I think we should hand her over to Taoist Dao Yun immediately.”

Taoist Dao Yun was the elder of the Kunning Sect faction in Linshuang City. He was also the second-in-command of the Thousand Immortals Alliance.

He was notoriously severe and extreme; he hated devils. If he saw that Ji Yan exude demonic energy from her body, then he would probably peel Ji Yan’s skin off if he didn’t kill her immediately.

Ji Yan looked at Shao Xin. Shao Xin pondered for a moment before he said, “No.”

The disciple was surprised by his response, “Senior brother?!”

There was a frown on his handsome face as he said flatly, “If there is no concrete evidence, then we can’t send her to Taoist Dao Yun. Taoist Dao Yun would rather kill a thousand innocent people rather than let one devil escape. She is heavily injured by the devil she saw. Perhaps the devil’s energy had infected her when the devil injured her, causing her to emit demonic energy. But Taoist Dao Yun will not let her off easily even if this is the case. Since she is a disciple of Qingyun Pavilion, then it’s better to take her to Elder Wen Shang of the Qingyun Pavilion…”

Before Shao Xin could finish speaking, Ji Yan interrupted him and suddenly said, “I want to meet Taoist Dao Yun.”

The male disciple, “…”

Shao Xin, “???”

The two young men looked at her with a puzzled expression on their faces while Ji Yan was calculating quickly in her mind.

What a joke! She was disguised as a disciple of Qingyun Pavilion, so if she met elder Wen Shang, then her fake identity would be exposed immediately.

Ji Yan had never heard of Taoist Dao Yun when she read the original book, so he probably was just a minor cannon fodder. Since he was a cannon fodder, then it will be impossible for him to go against the ultimate villain of the book, Yin Xuezhuo. As such, she would rather meet Taoist Dao Yun because she was quite confident that nothing would happen to her with Yin Xuezhuo by her side.

It was convenient to have a great ancestor like Yin Xuezhuo by her side.

Although Yin Xuezhuo disliked her, there was nothing he could do about it.

Ji Yan was very confident about her choice. She was someone who almost died once, so she was not afraid at all.
