After the early morning classes, the sound of rumbling fighting could be heard in the mountains and forests outside the Taoist temple. Shi Hao, holding a three-pointed two-edged sword, was fighting with Ning Yi, jumping or walking around each other. The sword was cold and the chain was glowing.

"Look at the knife~" Shi Hao jumped up and slashed his head with the three-pointed, two-edged knife.

Ning Yi took a step back, and the soul-catching chain suddenly flew out wrapped in the black mist. The huge and ferocious hook was like a ghost claw.

"Boom~" There was a dull sound of impact. The three-pointed two-edged sword and the soul-enchanting chain collided together, and they were locked in a stalemate in the air. The light golden spiritual power and the black mist-like ghostly energy each occupied half.

"Boom~" A huge explosion occurred at the intersection, and a ripple swept out. The surrounding trees were cut off with a snap, and they all fell to the ground with a bang, and snow was flying all over the sky.

Ning Yi slipped more than ten meters in the snow and stepped on a protruding stone. The stone exploded with a crack.

Shi Hao somersaulted and fell to the ground, carrying a three-pointed two-edged sword proudly.

"Good! Well done!" Bai Xiaochun applauded vigorously from the side.

Ning Yi stood up straight and said with a smile: "Senior brother is still better, I lose."

Shi Hao said embarrassedly: "That's because I came in early."

"It's time to eat~" Qingxue shouted while standing in front of the Taoist temple.

"Coming, coming~" The three-pointed, two-edged knife in Shi Hao's hand shrunk, he casually pinned it on his waist, and ran towards the Taoist temple with a smile.

The soul-enchanting chain in Ning Zhen's hand was also shortened, wrapped around his wrist to become a bracelet, and he and Bai Xiaochun walked towards the Taoist temple.

At the dinner table, Bai Xiaochun sat next to Qing Yu, poked Qing Yu's arm and whispered, "Senior sister, can you give me a few more defensive talismans?"

Qingyu asked in confusion: "Why do you need so many defensive talismans?"

Bai Xiaochun said in a low voice: "I just watched the fight between senior brother and junior brother. It seems that the defensive charms you gave me are not enough?"

Qingyu looked at Bai Xiaochun with disdain and said, "Can't you fight just like them? What does it look like to be a coward?"

Bai Xiaochun shrank his neck and whispered: "It hurts so much. I've been bleeding a lot recently. At worst, I can use elixirs instead. Can Peiyuan Dan be used?"

Qingyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Bai Xiaochun said with a smile: "Sister, you are so kind."

"What did you say?"

Bai Xiaochun quickly looked up and saw everyone at the dinner table looking at him and Senior Sister Qingyu, and it was Master who asked the question.

Qingyu said with a smile: "Master, today I will go to Baiyun Temple to teach them the talismans."

Li Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "Pay attention to safety."

"Yes, Master~" Qingyu responded with a smile, and the matter was revealed, and everyone continued to eat.

Bai Xiaochun looked at Qingyu with admiration. Senior sister is so powerful. She deceived the master so easily. If I had said it directly, I would definitely be punished by the master to clean up the dishes.

Li Ping'an put the chopsticks on the table, wiped his mouth with a cloth, and said, "Xiao Chun will put away the tableware today." He got up and walked outside.

Bai Xiaochun was dumbfounded. Didn't he lie to me? Why should I clean up the tableware?

Shi Hao burst out laughing, Qing Yu also covered her mouth and chuckled, then she quickly took a few bites, slapped her chopsticks on the table, stood up and said, "I've finished eating too."

He ran out at a trot, ran into the yard, and pointed his sword finger with his hand. The small sword on his waist came out of its sheath with a clang, spun around in the air, became larger and floated, and landed next to Qingyu. Qingyu stepped on the magic sword.

Go up, point your finger and shout energetically: "Let's go~"

The magic sword carried Qingyu and flew through the air with a hiss, flying down the mountain.

In the hall, Shi Hao said proudly: "As far as I know, all other cultivators in the world can fly in the air only after reaching the third level. The speed is not very fast. Only our Taoist monks at the second level can control objects and fly in the air."

Ning Yi couldn't help but nodded, and he felt a sense of joy in his heart. He had made the right choice to stay.

…

A few days later, outside the city of Anqing, a group of heavily armed cavalry rushed towards them, their horses' hooves flying and causing waves of snowflakes.

"Hello~" All the knights gathered their horses and stopped on a hillside outside the city. All the soldiers were black horses with red armor and capes on their backs, and looked resolute.

The young general at the head, wearing a black cloak, was shooting towards Anqing City in the distance.

A deputy general next to him turned his head and said: "General, ahead is Anqing City, which is the city closest to the Cangman Mountains."

"Yeah~" The young general nodded.

The lieutenant general hesitated and said: "But His Majesty has issued an order that we are not allowed to set foot in the Anqing Mountains this year."

The young general squinted his eyes and said: "The end of the year is approaching, and a large number of spirit beasts will be needed to hold a banquet for the ministers and worship the emperor. The Cangman Mountains are the largest mountains in our country. How can we meet the needs of Daqing Imperial City if we don't hunt spirit beasts from within?

?”

The adjutant hesitated and said: "Your Majesty ordered us to go to the Jianxuan Mountains in the south. There are also a large number of spiritual beasts and ferocious beasts there."

"The terrain of the Jianxuan Mountains is difficult and hunting is difficult. It is enough to leave the second group behind. The Cangman Mountains are our main target."

"But it's His Majesty's will," the lieutenant said hesitantly.

The young general glanced at him, a sharp light flashed in his eyes and said: "If you don't want to, you can leave. I will enter the Cangman Mountains alone."

The lieutenant general's heart trembled, he clasped his fists and said, "I only obey the general's orders."

The rest of the soldiers also shouted: "We only obey the general's orders."

"Very good, let's enter the city~" The young general pulled the reins, and the horse suddenly jumped down from the slope and ran towards the city.

The rest of the soldiers also led their horses to follow, and they approached the city with the clatter of horse hooves. The soldiers guarding the city gate were shocked when they heard the sound of horse hooves. They quickly turned around and saw a group of red knights on big horses running towards them.

Behind each knight is a flying cloak, magnificent momentum.

An older soldier guarding the city changed his expression and whispered: "Get out of the way, it's the guards!"

The two soldiers took a step back together, clicked their spears close to their sides, saluted respectfully, and watched the imperial army gallop away.

After the Forbidden Army left, the young soldier on the opposite side often let out a breath and said with lingering fear: "The momentum is so strong. When they passed by just now, I felt like I was almost going to die."

The older soldier said proudly: "That's natural. Those are our imperial guards. Everyone is a cultivator. They are different from ordinary people like us."

The young soldier asked out of curiosity: "Captain, what are they doing with the forbidden troops in our Anqing City? Could something big happen to our Anqing City?"

The old soldier smiled and said: "It's not surprising that you just came back from abroad and you don't know. Our city of Anqing is located on the edge of the wild mountains. Every three days, the imperial army comes to hunt ferocious beasts for the palace's needs."

"Then our city of Anqing is very important, isn't it?"
