The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 153: Reveal the Card

Yan Jue, dressed in a dark cloak, followed the small demons from Slaying Demon Cliff as they walked out.

All things in the world can cultivate, and as a result, all beings regard cultivation as the most important pursuit.

The immortal spirit body is a great tonic; if one can kill an immortal spirit and successfully drink its blood, their cultivation will rise to a whole new level.

Although Yan Jue was not sure whether the small demons were talking about Qi Xianqing, she couldn't think of anyone else who possessed an immortal spirit body, aside from him.

Moreover, these demons from Slaying Demon Cliff had made several attempts to harm Qi Xianqing in the past...

Yan Jue pursed her lips.

The sky over the Fortress of All Things was always pitch black.

Yan Jue was dressed in a white feather-patterned riding outfit with narrow sleeves, a large cloak over her head, and a blue veil hanging down, exuding an air of grace and elegance.

Her appearance now was worlds apart from the tidy little Taoist priest she had once been at Five Dragon Mountain.

She wondered if Qi Xianqing would think she was poorly dressed now.

Distracted, Yan Jue took another Breath-Holding Pill and continued to follow the little demons.

In the demon tribe, news traveled fast. Initially, only a few small demons from Slaying Demon Cliff were ahead, but by the time they reached the official road outside the Fortress of All Things, the number of demons hunting for the immortal spirit body had already grown to over a hundred.

This was no small force.

Yan Jue furrowed her brows, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

The information about the immortal spirit body didn't seem like a lie. The excitement in the little demons' eyes was clear, and they chattered excitedly as they arrived at a grove on a hillside, climbing trees and drawing out their long blades.

"Is the information reliable?" one of them asked.

"I only received the news this morning. The immortal spirit body was seen in Qingjiang earlier today, and it looks like it's in a hurry, probably heading through the Fortress of All Things."

"Even if it doesn't come, at least we can wait here. If we catch it, wouldn't that be a big gain?"

Yan Jue cursed inwardly.

These demons had no idea where their confidence came from. How ignorant must they be to think they could defeat Qi Xianqing?

Relax...

This world was so vast that it might not even be Qi Xianqing after all, Yan Jue quickly reassured herself.

She lowered her body and hid behind a giant old tree.

Below the hillside was a long official road, the main route connecting the southern lands to the Fortress of All Things.

Several merchant caravans passed by, the sound of hooves echoing through the quiet mountains.

The quality of the Slaying Demon Cliff demons was uneven. After waiting for a while, some had even dozed off.

Yan Jue still kept her gaze fixed on the distant road, her eyes straining in the darkness, as if trying to see through the night.

But the person she was waiting for still didn't appear.

She glanced at the small demons sleeping in awkward positions on the tree, pinched her brow, and shook her head.
