After hearing the Demon Lamp Elder's introduction, Cheng Xiaofan could never have imagined that the innkeeper had such a sister.
If the Demon Lamp Elder was telling the truth, then having Jingzi manage the demonic cultivators on Fursman Island for him would be ideal.
He became more and more curious about Jingzi.
This girl was born clutching a mirror in her hands, how strange!
However, in "Dream of the Red Chamber," didn't Jia Baoyu emerge from his mother's womb with a piece of jade?
People like this who come into the world are all people with stories!
"Let's go, Demon Lamp Elder, take me to see Jingzi!" Cheng Xiaofan said to the Demon Lamp Elder after putting Da E Xiao Shan into the Demon Bone Blade.
The Demon Lamp Elder said respectfully, "Alright, I'll take you!"
As they exited the gate of the ancient castle courtyard, Cheng Xiaofan drew the demonic blade again and swung it into the air. A large burst of fire spewed from the blade, consuming the corpses of the demonic cultivators lying on the ground.
When the flames died down, the ground was clean.
No one could tell that over a thousand people had died here.
This Demon Bone Blade was truly magical!
Seeing this, the Demon Lamp Elder broke out in a cold sweat.
It was hard to imagine how many lives the Demon Ancestor had taken with this single Demon Bone Blade back then!
The lightning and thunder that appeared in the ancient castle today had already spread throughout the entire island. Everyone knew that a young Chinese man, claiming to be the Demon Ancestor's envoy, had wreaked havoc within the castle.
What was unexpected was that Meng Li, Hei Ta, and over a thousand demonic cultivator soldiers had all fallen to the Chinese young man's Demon Bone Blade.
When Cheng Xiaofan and the Demon Lamp Elder appeared in the town, they found that every house was shuttered and barred, and not a soul could be seen on the streets.
Not even a dog was visible.
Silence!
The entire town was as silent as a graveyard!
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Demon Lamp Elder, has my visit to Fursman Island cast too great a psychological shadow on the townspeople that not a single person dares to show themselves?" 138 Reading Network
The Demon Lamp Elder smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are correct. They are afraid!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "It seems the demonic cultivators are not united. Why didn't these people go to help Meng Li and Hei Ta when they were attacked and faced death?"
The Demon Lamp Elder smiled bitterly, "Mr. Cheng, you appeared as the Demon Ancestor's envoy, so these people were already wary. Moreover, without Meng Li's summons, how would they dare to act against you?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "They can consider themselves lucky. If the townspeople had rushed to the castle to participate in the battle, they would probably all be dead by now!"
As they walked and talked, they unknowingly arrived at the entrance of Luolin's Inn.
Like the other residents, Luolin's inn was tightly shut.
Bang bang bang!
The Demon Lamp Elder stepped forward and knocked. There was no response from inside.
He then raised his voice and shouted, "Luolin, the Demon Ancestor's envoy has arrived. Why aren't you coming out to greet them quickly!"
Despite the Demon Lamp Elder being over three hundred years old, his voice was exceptionally loud, like thunder, making the house seem to tremble.
Not long after, the door creaked open. Luolin, upon seeing Cheng Xiaofan, was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, repeatedly saying, "Luolin kneels before the Demon Ancestor's envoy. Luolin deserves to die, Luolin deserves to die!"
Cheng Xiaofan heard this, chuckled, and deliberately asked, "Luolin, what crime have you committed that you say you deserve to die?"
Luolin said, "Luolin should not have arranged two snake spirits for you to deplete your essence, nor should she have put a bone-softening powder in your coffee this morning!"
"Hahaha..."
Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter and said, "Luolin, do you think I would fall for such petty tricks of yours?"
"However, your actions did blind some people in the castle, allowing me to eliminate them effortlessly."
"I pardon your offense. Get up quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Luolin kowtowed to Cheng Xiaofan several times and said, "Thank you, Demon Ancestor's envoy, thank you, Demon Ancestor, for sparing my life!"
The Demon Lamp Elder beside them trembled several times upon hearing that Luolin had arranged snake spirits and given him bone-softening powder to assist Meng Li against Cheng Xiaofan.
If this had happened to any other demonic cultivator, Luolin would have been killed instantly.
It was unexpected that Cheng Xiaofan was so magnanimous and spared her life.
However, the Demon Lamp Elder also knew that Cheng Xiaofan's reason for not killing her was ultimately because of her sister Jingzi.
If it were anyone else, they would certainly not have let her live.
"Luolin, I want to see your sister Jingzi. Hurry and take me to her!" Cheng Xiaofan said to Luolin at this moment.
Luolin looked towards the Demon Lamp Elder, understanding in her heart that Cheng Xiaofan's desire to see her sister must be related to him.
Otherwise, how would Cheng Xiaofan know she had a sister named Jingzi?
She was unsure whether Cheng Xiaofan wanting to see Jingzi would bring disaster or fortune to her sister, and as she hesitated, the Demon Lamp Elder said with displeasure, "Luolin, didn't you hear what the Demon Ancestor's envoy said?"
"Why are you still standing there blankly?"
Cheng Xiaofan could see Luolin's thoughts clearly and said with a smile, "Luolin, don't worry. I won't kill you, nor will I harm your sister."
"I want to see her to discuss something with her!"
Luolin then nodded and said, "Demon Ancestor's envoy, I will lead you there immediately."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Stop calling me the Demon Ancestor's envoy. Just call me Mr. Cheng, like the Demon Lamp Elder!"
"Yes, Mr. Cheng!" Luolin said, leading them into the house, through the hall, and to the back room. She opened a door, revealing a back garden.
Along the way, the Demon Lamp Elder told Cheng Xiaofan that due to Meng Li's apprehension towards Jingzi and his desire to appease her, this back garden was built by Meng Li for Jingzi.
Normally, Jingzi would read and cultivate in this back garden.
Walking forward a short distance, a small stream meandered through a sea of trees and flowers.
A layer of pink petals floated on the clear stream. A young woman, who looked like a flower goddess, sat on a rock, soaking her fair, tender feet in the stream.
Her dark hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. She had graceful eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a rosy complexion, and red lips. Her bright eyes were particularly captivating.
She wore a white tunic, with a purple lantern flower pinned to her chest.
"Are you Miss Jingzi?" Cheng Xiaofan stepped forward and asked with a smile.
At this moment, Jingzi turned her head, bit her lip slightly, and smiled. She looked at Cheng Xiaofan like a charming little cat, exceptionally docile.
After a moment, she withdrew her feet from the stream, bowed deeply to Cheng Xiaofan, and said in a melodious voice, "Jingzi greets the Demon Ancestor's envoy!"
Cheng Xiaofan asked curiously, "Who told you I was the Demon Ancestor's envoy?"
Jingzi raised her right hand. In it, she tightly held a small, exquisite, and very beautiful mirror.
She said, "I saw everything you did in the ancient castle through this mirror!"
