I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

Li Qing'an had already anticipated this, and leisurely followed behind her in the air. "Miss, there's no need to be nervous. I'm just telling you this so you can focus on helping me. I also know that there is a person in Fenxiang Valley named Shangguan Ce who guards the Xuanhuo Altar. He has a magic weapon called Nine Cold Ice Spikes, which can poison people, make them feel cold all over, and damage their Dao foundation."

Li Qingan said this much based on what he knew.

The three-tailed fox demon in front of them had already stopped, its expression furious, and it said to Li Qing'an: "Who exactly are you? A rogue cultivator couldn't possibly know such a thing."

Li Qingan ignored the three-tailed fox's words and continued, "I think the six-tailed fox didn't appear because it was attacked by Shangguan Ce, but I have a way to cure it."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the three-tailed fox demon appeared beside Li Qing'an in an instant, asking excitedly, "Is what you say true, young master?"

Li Qingan nodded. "We've never met and have no grudge against each other, so why would I lie to you?"

"What do you need me to do?"

The three-tailed fox demon was beginning to believe Li Qing'an. Not only did she know that Fenxiang Valley had lost the Xuanhuo Mirror, but she also knew that the item was in her possession and about her elder brother's injuries.

This undoubtedly greatly increases the credibility of his words.

More importantly, having just escaped, she realized she couldn't escape the person before her and had no choice but to do as Li Qing'an demanded.

But she felt it wouldn't be so easy to get this mysterious man to agree to help her.

Li Qingan ignored Sanwei's thoughts and said directly, "Besides needing you to take me to that demonic sect stronghold, I also need your help with my cultivation..."

Chapter 37 The Demonic Cult's Stronghold: What Does Li Bai Have to Do with Me, Li Qing'an?

"I still need your help in my spiritual practice."

Upon hearing this, the three-tailed fox took two steps back and looked at Li Qing'an warily.

Seeing this, Li Qing'an didn't explain. After all, the Xuanhuo Mirror in her possession could indeed help him cultivate, so he wasn't wrong!

Moreover, the fact that the three-tailed fox and the six-tailed fox could die together is a tragic love story, and Li Qing'an felt that he could not do such a thing as Cao Cao!

"You need the Mystic Fire Mirror, don't you!"

At this moment, the three-tailed fox saw Li Qing'an's gaze and thought of the Xuanhuo Mirror that had just been mentioned.

They also guessed what Li Qing'an wanted; the only thing on her that anyone could covet was the Xuanhuo Mirror that their fox demon clan had stolen.

Li Qing'an nodded, no longer trying to be mysterious. Regardless of whether Liuwei and the others gave it to him or not, he was determined to obtain the Xuanhuo Mirror.

"I don't know, this matter is for my older brother to decide."

The three-tailed fox replied, but in her heart she was worried about whether her elder brother would give up this precious treasure that the fox demon clan had risked their lives to bring back.

If she could decide, she would naturally not hesitate to exchange the Xuanhuo Mirror for the life of the Six-Tailed Fox.

"How can you be sure you can cure my older brother?"

The three-tailed fox was still somewhat afraid that the hard-won hope would be dashed again, so she asked again.

"You have no choice now, do you? Now you can only trust me, and what you need now is to help me find this evil cult's stronghold."

Li Qingan waved his hand and slowly replied to the three-tailed fox demon.

The three-tailed fox spirit looked solemn, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Young master, are we going to the Demonic Sect's stronghold now?"

Li Qingan nodded. Delay could lead to unforeseen consequences. Naturally, such acts of murder by the demonic sect must be eradicated completely!

"Young master, please come with me!"

After saying this, the three-tailed fox led Li Qing'an to the demonic sect's stronghold that she knew.

Li Qingan followed behind the three-tailed fox demon, "How did you discover these demonic sect disciples, and why did you save those people? Given your current state as a six-tailed fox demon, you probably wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble!"

"To be honest, young master, I don't want to cause trouble either, but if I let the demonic sect disciples kill here and attract the righteous sect disciples, the location I finally found will probably be exposed again."

At this point, the three-tailed fox turned and glanced at Li Qing'an.

She guessed that the person in front of her who wanted to destroy the demonic sect's stronghold was a righteous disciple. His spellcasting was filled with pure energy, grand and majestic, completely different from that of rogue cultivators.

Li Qingan didn't expect his casually given identity to remain a secret for long; it was only a matter of time before it was exposed. He just needed an alias.

After all, what does the matter of Li Bai, the rogue cultivator from the Central Plains, have to do with Li Qing'an of my Qingyun Sect?

The two flew at an extremely fast speed and soon arrived at a cave dozens of miles away from Xiaochi Town.

"These cave marks suggest that the Demonic Sect hasn't been here long!" Li Qing'an glanced at the cave carved out by the magical artifact and made a guess.

"I had heard that there was a three-thousand-year-old well outside Xiaochi Town. This place is also far from the Central Plains. I wanted to find a Taoist method here that would allow my elder brother and me to recuperate. However, I accidentally stumbled upon the disciples of the Demonic Sect who had captured mortals and brought them to this cave. But I did not know the depth of it, so I did not enter."

The three-tailed fox explained, looking at the cave entrance.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we're sure they're here!" Li Qing'an didn't care. Whether the six-tailed fox could live or die depended entirely on him, and the three-tailed fox, who was devoted to the six-tailed fox, would never lie to him.

"Let's go!" Li Qing'an took out Wangxian, then took Xiao Luo, who had been hanging on him like an ornament, and put her in his arms. He then took the lead and walked into the cave.

The three-tailed fox demon looked at the magic weapon in Li Qing'an's hand and felt as if she were surrounded by the sharpness of sword intent. She couldn't help but tense up and take two steps back.

"This person is definitely not a rogue cultivator!" the three-tailed fox thought to itself as it followed behind.

Li Qing'an was unaware of the three-tailed fox's thoughts; he simply gripped his sword tightly, ready to strike anyone who appeared.

“You have too little experience in combat, so let’s be on the safe side.” Li Qing’an took out a small Five Elements Array Plate from his pocket and threw it into the hands of the three-tailed fox demon. He then took out a complete Five Elements Array Plate: “This is for your self-defense. Otherwise, I’m afraid that if I’m not careful, you will die and our deal will fail.”

"For self-defense." The three-tailed fox looked at the palm-sized array plate in her hand, then at Li Qing'an's back in front of her.

"Someone is coming."

Hearing the sounds of conversation coming from afar, Li Qingan spoke up to warn others and then found another place to hide.

"Ok?"

While the three-tailed fox was still wondering, it heard footsteps approaching, accompanied by voices talking.

The three-tailed fox, who often evaded pursuit, hid in a secluded corner early on and made no sound at all, showing its extensive experience.

"Have the disciples who went out not returned yet?"

"Senior brother, no, he's just going to kill a fox demon who ruined our plans. There shouldn't be any danger."

"We must not be careless. Elder Nian and Uncle Lin Feng warned us to be cautious and not to let our guard down before we came to Xiaochi Town. Now, because of that fox demon, Xiaochi Town is already in a state of panic."

"Fortunately, we sent a message in advance, blaming the fox demon for what happened after those people went missing."

"Senior brother, you are wise!"

"Um..."

Suddenly, the two Blood Refining Hall disciples inside the cave stopped and looked around warily when they saw that one of the rocks they had been using had changed position.

The two exchanged a glance, then took out their magical weapons and began bombarding any hiding place they could find.

This place was precisely where Li Qing'an was hiding.

"Troublesome, my experience is lacking! I was hoping to get some information about the Blood Refining Hall."

Li Qing'an instantly dodged behind two disciples of the Blood Refining Hall and beheaded one of them with a single sword strike.

Blood gushed out immediately, and the disciple was astonished to find that he could actually see his own back!

Who are you...?

The remaining disciples of the Blood Refining Hall were about to speak when Li Qing'an swiftly pierced their hearts with a sword, and they fell to the ground.

"Young master, your Taoist skills are truly profound!"

The three-tailed fox spirit also emerged from its hiding place and offered words of praise.

“What kind of Taoist magic does he have? He’s already said he’s a rogue cultivator.” Li Qing’an still retorted after hearing this. He had already said he was a rogue cultivator, so he was a rogue cultivator.

"It seems infiltration is out of the question, so let's just charge in." Li Qing'an's words were laced with murderous intent as he realized his infiltration attempt was thwarted.

Stop pretending. If you have the ability, why bother with infiltration?

Li Qing'an had just casually killed two disciples of the Blood Refining Hall and felt that his strength was not bad!

It's unlikely that there are any experts at the Shangqing Realm in this kind of cave, so it's just a piece of cake for them!

Then, a moment later, deep inside the cave.

The few remaining disciples of the Blood Refining Hall, missing limbs, were tied together by Li Qing'an, groaning in pain.

"Senior, expert, we really don't know anything. We were just following orders to secretly collect some essence blood, which is why we came to this Far East. The people we captured were all planning to leave Xiaochi Town, and we dared not let the news leak out."

"As a result, thanks to the wisdom of that damned fox demon—no, my expert partner—the residents of Xiaochi Town were released back. That's why the rumors in Xiaochi Town now say that the fox demon is preventing people from leaving. I really don't know anything else. I also don't know what kind of magic weapon the Blood Refining Hall is planning to refine."

"Please, kind sir, let us go! We'll return to the righteous path and never kill or commit arson again."

Li Qing'an finally understood what had happened from their pleas for mercy. He then pierced the heart of the Blood Refining Hall disciple who had been committing murder and arson with a single sword strike.

"Damn it, you've already committed murder and arson, and you still want to join me on the righteous path? What kind of class do you have to dare to join me on the righteous path?"

"Pooh!"

The remaining disciples of the Blood Refining Hall, seeing this, stopped begging for mercy and instead started cursing: "You heartless Li Bai, you promised to let us go after you told us, but now you've gone back on your word. You're utterly shameless! I wish you hell after you die!"

"Buddhism teaches that one should lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. What right do you have to kill me?"

Li Qingan remained silent, only thrusting his sword repeatedly before sheathing it!

Chapter 38 I, Li Bai, do not hold grudges.

"Excuse me, I believe in the Three Pure Ones!"

"The Buddhist saying 'lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot' isn't my idea. Go find a Buddhist bodhisattva! What does it have to do with Taoism!"

Li Qing'an killed the last disciple who was reciting Buddhist rules, and thought to himself.

Watching Li Qing'an's decisive actions, the three-tailed fox spirit wondered, "Weren't you angry at the person who just insulted you?"

"angry?"

Li Qingan shook his head, feigning nonchalance, thinking to himself, "I'm not Li Bai, why should I be angry!"

"I want to kill him. It's normal for him to curse me. It's just one of his lives." As he spoke, Li Qing'an stepped forward and stabbed the person who had cursed him in front of the three-tailed fox.

"I don't hold grudges!" Li Qing'an said.

The three-tailed fox demon watched Li Qing'an's actions and stopped talking, only moving a little further away from him. "No, this person is extremely vengeful. If my elder brother doesn't agree to hand over the Xuanhuo Mirror, won't he think I'm lying to him and kill my elder brother?"

Thinking of this, the three-tailed fox's expression became even more solemn, and she considered going back on her word.

She planned to ask the six-tailed fox spirit what he thought before making a deal with him, but she didn't dare to run away.
