In the midst of the excitement, the fairy immortal’s delicate voice rang out, as if she were singing, “What kind of virtue do I possess to have attracted the disciples of the world’s greatest schools of immortal cultivation to come and worship heaven and earth.”

Xuanji and Yu Sifeng were both shaken to their core, but Zhong Minyan was the quickest to realise that they had been discovered. He was already upset about a lot of things, and especially due to this ridiculous and unbecoming wedding dress.

Suddenly, he saw a flash of purple smoke, and the figure of a person, like a ghost, stopped in front of him. The first thing he noticed was that his face was lightly touched by someone’s palm, which was so soft and smooth that he was shaken by it. He was startled to see a beautiful woman in purple standing in front of him, seemingly enveloped in a cloud of glamorous light, with a picture-perfect face.

The man’s instinctive reaction was to not attack, for a moment he was frozen. However, that moment was enough, he did not know what she did, but he suddenly felt blood rising in his chest, a sign of qi deviation. He was so shocked that he took a few steps backwards and fell to his knees, with blood running down his lips.

“Minyan!” Ruo’Yu and the others also pulled off their hoods and took out the weapons hidden in their garments to come to his aid.

The beauty in purple cackled and turned into a purple cloud, slipping back and forth in front of the remaining three, Xuanji only heard Ruo’Yu and Yu Sifeng cry out in pain but did not see what happened, three out of the four of them were injured. Xuanji was at a loss as to what to do and was about to draw her sword when suddenly that purple cloud floated in front of her and Xuanji was startled to see a face that was too beautiful for words to describe.

She was touched by her immediately afterwards, and it was so smooth and soft and it carried a fragrance that touched one’s soul. Xuanji only thought she was going to be hurt, and was about to move away as fast as she could move her feet, but her Qi did not deviate. The purple-clothed beauty opposite her dispersed like smoke, apparently leaving her unharmed.

When Xuanji saw the mist drifting away to the stage, she did not chase after it and hurriedly ran towards Yu Sifeng and the others with her heavy wedding gown. She drew her sword to block the palace ladies and auspicious officials who were surrounding them, who are possibly also demons working for the Fairy Immortal.

“Are you alright?” Xuanji asked as she blocked the attacks of several people with her sword. The phoenix crown on top of her head was so heavy that she threw it to the ground.

Zhong Minyan’s face was pale and had to adjust his breathing for a long time, before whispering, “Amazing technique… I can’t even raise my qi.”

Although Yu Sifeng and Ruo’yu were wearing masks and their faces could not be seen, one could imagine that they were not much better than Zhong Minyan.

“Xuanji, run away now!” Yu Sifeng stood up with his sword in his hand and blocked the attack on the back of her head. Since he did not have access to his qi, he felt a sharp pain in his hand. The impact almost made him drop his sword.

“Quick! Go!” Zhong Minyan and Ruo’Yu were barely able to fight with those little demons, and Zhong Minyan was sweating and looking very pained as he yelled loudly, “Go away! Linglong should still be on her way here. You…take her and run away!”

Xuanji said urgently, “Don’t talk nonsense at a time like this! I’m not going to let you guys die!”

Yu Sifeng said, “I don’t think that witch wants to kill us. You and Linglong flee first and go back to the Shaoyang Sect to find the Sect Master and the others to deal with her… She’s too powerful, we’re no match for her!”

Xuanji felt that he had a point, but it was impossible for her to escape.

Zhong Minyan said angrily, “You’re still so stubborn, you stinking girl! I told you to listen to me and you’re as deaf as if you didn’t! Get out of here! Do you hear me?”

Xuanji’s lips moved and she was about to say something, but the woman in purple laughed and said softly, “Actually this young warrior is right, I won’t kill you. Otherwise, your lives would have been lost just now.”

She glanced at Xuanji again. Their was sweat dripping down her face, which washed away the dark paint, revealing her fair skin. The beard on her face was also half gone. It is clear that she is a beautiful looking girl.

The woman in purple laughed, “So you are a woman, no wonder the Crippling Sun Palm[1] is useless on you.”

Although they don’t know what the Crippling Sun Palm is, but it can injure three people in the blink of an eye, which shows that its power is not small. From the name, it seems that it only works on men, but Xuanji is a woman, so she escaped.

Thinking of this, Yu Sifeng immediately waved his sword to force away the demon in front of him and circled around behind Xuanji, giving her a push and saying, “Run! Don’t stay!”

Now that he has lost his qi, how can he push her? He stumbled and nearly fell. Xuanji hurriedly helped him, and the woman in purple laughed softly, “It doesn’t matter if it’s a woman, since we are all immortals, I can get twice the result with half the effort. No one is allowed to leave, so stay here.”

When she said that she should stay, her tone was so soft that she seemed to be a charming woman, making people want to listen to her and obey her. The group could only feel a flash of light, and the purple-clothed beauty turned into countless shadows that surrounded them like an impenetrable ring.

Seeing that things had come to the worst, Yu Sifeng could only sigh in silence, not knowing what the witch was going to do to them.

Xuanji put away her sword and said, “The people of Zhongli City have worshipped you like a god and have obeyed you so much. How could you do such an outrageous thing?”

The beauty in purple giggled twice, but she said nothing, only commanding, “Take them down. The woman is to be thrown into the cellar, and the men into my bedroom.”

Zhong Minyan was so shocked when he heard the words “take them to my bedroom”, his face turned even paler. It seems this demon is really the type to collect yang in order to replenish yin.[2] No wonder she takes four young men a year. If he is sent to the bedroom, he is afraid he will be turned into a ghost. He wants to fight back, but he is too weak to do so, so he can only stare at her.

The demons are all around him, lifting and snatching, and they are about to separate them. Suddenly, the sound of the sword sounded like a dragon’s roar, and the light of the sword suddenly flashed. These small demons did not expect such power, a single hit left several bleeding, and they no longer dare to carry them away, but flee in all directions, screaming.

Xuanji used a sword technique and withdrew her sword qi. She stared at the purple-clothed beauty for a long time before saying, “Don’t you dare touch them. Damn demon.”

The purple-clothed beauty smiled and said, “This girl is handsome and so is her sword. Let me take a closer look, alright?”

As soon as the words were uttered, Xuanji saw countless purple figures pouncing on her. Xuanji waved her sword and attacked, however, once the figures were struck by the sword they dissipated like smoke, only to gather again. They were not vanquished in any way. Xuanji blocked to the left and right, but gradually her strength failed her, and suddenly she heard Ruo’Yu cry out, “Watch your back!”

She hurriedly waved her sword to block her back, but a purple shadow suddenly fled in front of her and raised its palm to strike her, hitting her right in the chest. Xuanji’s eyes went black and she couldn’t catch her breath, her throat tasted blood, and she felt that she couldn’t stop the blood from spurting out.

The beauty in purple caught the sword, looked to the right and left, and laughed with a beautiful voice: “Little girl, you are still very young.”

[2]: In Ancient Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (/jɪn/ and /jɑːŋ, jæŋ/; Chinese: 陰陽 yīnyáng, lit. “dark-bright”, “negative-positive”) is a concept of dualism, describing how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. In Chinese cosmology, the universe creates itself out of a primary chaos of material energy, organized into the cycles of Yin and Yang and formed into objects and lives. Yin is the receptive and Yang the active principle, seen in all forms of change and difference such as the annual cycle (winter and summer), the landscape (north-facing shade and south-facing brightness), sexual coupling (female and male), the formation of both women and men as characters and sociopolitical history (disorder and order).
