Chapter 27: Night Raid

Evening.

Dark clouds encompassed the sky.

From time to time impatient raindrops fell as if they wanted to drench the entire earth.

Gu Qing’an looked at the wind chime hanging on the window. It swayed melodiously.

She reached out to hold the wind chime and let it quiet down.

“Drink?” Shang Luoyun stretched out her arms and put her arms around Gu Qing’an’s waist.

With the other hand, she held a cup of hot milk, and the mouth of the cup was raised towards Gu Qing’an’s mouth.

Gu Qing’an took a sip, finding that the temperature was moderate.

“Thanks.”

She whispered.

I’m a little used to Senior sister Shang’s meticulous gentleness.

“Go to bed earlier.” Seeing Gu Qing’an taking the milk, Shang Luoyun smiled and walked out of the room.

What Gu Qing’an didn’t see was the corners of Shang Luoyun’s mouth twitching with her back facing her.

‘Xiao Qing’an also believes in Senior sister too much.’

Watching Gu Qing’an drink the cup of ‘soothing’ milk, Shang Luoyun’s heart blossomed with joy.

In her opinion, she was dignified, and this trip was a completely fun trip with her junior sister.

As for the danger, how could there be danger?

Eh… it could only be said that her brain circuit was different.

‘Just wait for the night.’

Night.

Gu Qing’an sat cross-legged on the bed, controlling the circulation of True Qi in her body.

She felt sleepy and yawned.

“Why am I so sleepy today?”

“I must be a little tired from the journey.”

“Let’s go to bed early.”

Thinking of this, Gu Qing’an got up and washed her face.

She blew out the candles and wore sleepwear.

For a while, only her long, well-proportioned breathing was left in the room.

Not long after, Shang Luoyun’s voice came from outside the door.

Hearing the sound of breathing coming from inside, Shang Luoyun smiled.

“Qing’an, are you asleep?”

Ding, dong.

“Senior sister is coming in.”

There was a sound of keys.

Squeak.

The door opened.

The breathing stopped abruptly, and the room was empty.

The smile on Shang Luoyun’s face froze, her eyebrows furrowed.

Her body was slightly tense, she became alert, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes.

“How’s this possible?”

In an instant, the whole room began to fade.

Walls peeled off, cobwebs grew, dust rose, and in just a few breaths, the room was in despair.

Not only that, but a little bit of grey-black smoky traces began to appear on the wall, as if it had been burned by fire.

These gray-black traces spread rapidly towards Shang Luoyun, like tentacles of black shadows.

But Shang Luoyun was a cultivator, how could she be afraid of these?

She saw her snorted coldly, “Pretending to be a ghost?!”

Boom!

She punched directly at the tentacles of the shadow, and her attack was full of True qi. The turbulent airflow overturned everything in the house.

Peng!

After the punch, it was like breaking the ice.

The gray in the house receded like a tide, and everything was back to normal.

The innate prestige was evident.

Shang Luoyun’s face was still not good-looking.

She turned into a purple light, and looked up and down the station and some surrounding houses in a very short time.

Not a single one was found.

She gritted her teeth. “”It’s troubling, if this is a strange situation caused by the leakage of Hidden spring..”

Thinking of Gu Qing’an who disappeared, Shang Luoyun was worried.

“Qing’an is probably trapped in it, and she must be rescued.”

She pondered for a time before employing multiple Jingyao Division techniques to investigate the mysterious occurrences.

She rushed through information, analysing it all.

“The way to enter is a dream?”

Shang Luoyun frowned, took out the talisman bag from her waist, and then fished out a number of defence and warning talisman papers.

Sitting down with her knees crossed, she fell into meditation.

Soon, her figure disappeared in place.

…

Gu Qingan turned over.

Gu Qingan turned over again.

Gu Qingan turned over.

She opened her eyes and stood up suspiciously.

“Why do I get more awake the more I sleep?”

She didn’t know that her high constitution had dissolved the sedative in the milk, and even her own drowsiness disappeared, which made her wake up directly.

Ding! Dong!

Someone knocked on the door.

“Open the door, open the door.”

This voice came from outside the door.

The voice was a normal human voice.

Only……

Gu Qing’an glanced at the system radar map that popped up in front of him.

There was a sharp red dot on it.

Gu Qing’an grinned, revealing a somewhat excited smile.

She responded, “Stand still, I’ll open the door for you right away.”

Gu Qing’an gently pulled out the long sword from the scabbard beside the bed.

Walking to the wooden door, holding up the sword, she smiled and said, “I’m here.”

With caution, the killing intent arose.

Outside the door, a gray-white corridor.

This simple wooden door formed the dividing line between the two worlds.

A monster with red scales and six limbs was sticking its four hind limbs on the ceiling of the corridor, and its two sickle-shaped forelimbs along the pair of bloody mouths were aimed at the wooden door.

It had a human head growing on its back and was speaking in a normal human tone.

The scarlet sickle monster heard the footsteps inside the door and was ecstatic.

‘Come on, come on!’

Crunch!

The wooden door was slammed open.

“Roar!”

The red sickle monster quickly bit down, but it did not taste as full of fresh flesh as expected.

The long sword, shining with purple light, pierced its head.

Peng.

The monster roared in pain, and the limbs stuck to the ceiling loosened and fell to the ground.

Gu Qingan’s face was expressionless. She saw Retribution skill severely injuring the scarlet sickle monster.

Adhering to the principle of ‘while your enemy is at the weakest, you kill him.’ thought guide.

Without hesitation, she drew the sword and chopped again.

Swish.

The life force of the scarlet sickle monster was very tenacious, and it still had the strength to resist when it was pierced through its head.

It raised its right scythe to barely block her attack.

Gu Qing’an’s eyes flashed, and the trajectory of the blade changed.

“My sword for the past two weeks have not been practiced in vain.”

Puff!

The sword slashed at its joints, and its entire forelimb was dissected.

Blood splattered!

The scarlet sickle monster’s centre of gravity became unstable and it fell to the ground.

It was not over yet.

Gu Qing’an saw that there was no beeping sound on the system panel, and the sword in her hand rose and fell.

The other forelimb of the monster was also removed.

Every moment the sword light flashed, the shower of flesh and blood flew everywhere.

After about ten seconds, the monster on the ground was almost chopped, and it didn’t move.

[Beheaded the Scarlet Sickle Demon with higher level to gain 1 hunting point.]

Seeing such a message flashing across the system panel, Gu Qing’an smiled.

In the grey-white corridor, a girl in a white dress held a long sword covered in blood. Looking at a pool of unrecognizable flesh on the ground, she showed a sincere smile.

Gu Qingan obviously didn’t realize how terrifying she appeared at that moment. She was just happy to have the Demon Hunting Points in her account.

At that time, Gu Qing’an had time to observe the surroundings carefully.

The hallway was a dead gray and white, and everything appeared pale and unreal.

And the gray-white was still spreading to the house at a very fast speed.

There was a decaying, shattered, dead silence all around.

Gu Qing’an frowned slightly, held the sword while being on alert, and walked out slowly.

…

Outside Nanping Town.

A muscular monster three metres tall looked at the town shrouded in dark clouds.

“Hidden spring leaked out?” There was some emotion in his eyes.

Youquanmen was a sect based on the repression point of Hidden Spring.

The reason why these sects in the Qian’an period could continue to rule under the Dacheng rule was that they took part of the responsibility.

But now the Youquan Sect had long since vanished into ashes. How did hidden leak out…

Who cares?

He smiled and walked in.
