Evil Spirit Knight Appears!

"Haha!"

Huai Ye stared at Haha who was struggling to stand, and sparkling tears involuntarily appeared in her eyes.

Because she was the one who had brought Haha here.

At this moment, Wen Ping pulled back Yun Liao who was extremely infuriated and wanted to charge at Yang Hua. However, Yun Liao basically didn't understand why Wen Ping wanted to do this. He thought that maybe Wen Ping was afraid and didn't dare to clash directly with the Reliance Sect head-on.

"Sect Leader?"

Yun Liao was bewildered and wanted to struggle free from Wen Ping's grab.

Yet, Wen Ping didn't reply to him. Rather, his expression was like dead water as he stared at Yang Hua who was standing far away. He then spoke calmly. Actually, the word 'spoke' couldn't be used because every word from his mouth was devoid of emotions.

"Yang Hua, I wouldn't have made things difficult for you if you left earlier. But right now, you won't be able to leave here forever."

"With just you?"

Yang Hua coldly responded.

Who was he?

He was the number one guy in the Reliance Sect. Let alone this Elder Yun before him, even if everyone in the Immortal Sect joined forces, they couldn't stop him if he wanted to leave. As an expert at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement, it didn't mean one could kill him even if their strength surpassed him.

No matter how hard one's fists were, could it be sharper than his sword?

However, when he turned his head and wanted to teach Huai Ye a lesson, the surrounding temperature suddenly surged. As he felt a blaze of heat suddenly manifesting in his heart, he couldn't help but loosen his collar. After that, he saw the expressions of the people around him.

The twelve disciples from the Reliance Sect were all staring in a direction, and their countenances were akin to dead ashes.

If they wanted to act in a Chinese opera, they basically didn't have to smear white powder on their faces anymore because their faces were already as pale as their bones.

Fear and dread could be seen in their eyes, and these emotions were slowly intensifying.

"Ghost!"

"Damn, you guys, don't block me!"

The 12 people all fled to the back without any prior agreement with each other.

But before they could flee far, a stream of fire shot past their heads. Haha who had undergone hell transformation from the evil spirit knight appeared behind them, blocking their path.

Haha then lunged over and knocked someone down.

After a bite, that person no longer made any sound.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Reliance Sect were so afraid that their souls flew away.

"Save us!"

A few of them stumbled in their haste and directly lay on the ground limply. Every time Haha took a step forward, they would shift to the back a little.

"Hehehe~"

Just when Yang Hua wanted to speak, he heard a peal of low-sounding laughter behind him. After that, he felt that something was covering his mouth and a hand landed on his shoulder.

Its fingertips were like soldering irons, directly melting his shirt and tightly grabbing onto his skin, causing him to feel so much pain that he had to grit his teeth. He turned his head and when he saw the face of the thing grabbing him, his look of terror was not in any way lesser compared to the twelve disciples.

It was a burning skeleton. Its hands had no flesh and were grabbing his shoulder as it continued to laugh loudly.

The laughter drilled into Yang Hua's ears. He didn't feel that this was a laughter that could be produced in the mortal world. The laughter seemed as though it originated from deep underground, from the endless asura hell.

Wen Ping's voice calmly drifted over. "They are all yours!"

"Hahahaha~"

The evil spirit knight laughed again.

The mountain dog under him also started barking, as though it could no longer control its urge and wanted Yang Hua to die immediately.

However, Yang Hua wasn't an ordinary person. After being grabbed from behind, he could sense the danger of death. So, how would he still dare to hold back?

He lifted his sword and directly pierced into the heart of the evil spirit knight.

After the sword entered the body, Yang Hua was ruthlessly pushed aside by the evil spirit knight. He was flung five to six meters before he landed on the ground. A moment later, he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Block it! It already suffered a stab from me and is injured. Whoever can take him down will be accepted as a true personal disciple by me."

Yang Hua was close to despair as he tossed out the tempting bait to accept a personal disciple. In the Reliance Sect, the personal disciple of an elder was equal to a future elder, so their statuses would be very high. Other than needing to mind other elders and the sect leader, there was no need for them to care about others.

What did those who cultivated seek? It was naturally the power to control one's life and other people. And both of these could be instantly accomplished once you became a true personal disciple of an elder.

If they had such an identity, they could walk sideways in Cangwu City, without needing to give a damn about anyone.

From then on, even their ordinary clan members would feel glory for them. The rich nobility and wealthy merchants would pay them a visit to fawn on them, sending concubines to their doorstep. When they had no money, a large number of people would come to give them money…this isn't a joke, it's reality.

However, Yang Hua had underestimated the fear of the unknown in these people and the terror everyone felt when they saw the burning skeleton.

"Run quickly!"

"My legs went limp, please pull me along. Hey…don't leave…pull me along please…Are you not fond of my wife? I can give her to you."

However, no matter what this person shouted, all of them ignored him. When the others saw the evil spirit knight moving toward Yang Hua, they climbed up and ran for their lives down the stone stairs.

But none was able to evade Haha's pursuit!

Screams of misery rang out constantly, echoing in the air for a long time before the sounds dispersed.

At this moment, Huai Ye and the others had shocked looks on their faces. If it wasn't for the fact that the evil spirit knight didn't care about them from the beginning until now, they believed that they would be in an even more miserable state compared to the Reliance Sect's disciples before their eyes.

Yun Liao gulped down a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but ask, "Sect leader, what is that thing?"

"The guardian of our Immortal Sect!"

"This…it's like a ghost and even more fearsome than demonic creatures." Yun Liao couldn't help but gulp down another mouthful of saliva. He then involuntarily retreated a few steps.

"Ah!"

"Ahh!"

Yun Liao's heart became nervous when he heard the cries of misery up ahead.

At this moment, Wen Ping walked toward Huai Ye and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Sect leader."

Huai Ye didn't know what she should say. She simply hugged Wen Ping and started crying from fear.

However, it was unknown whether she was crying because Haha was kicked or from seeing the evil spirit knight.

Wen Ping consoled her, "Things are fine now."

"Mn, mn." Huai Ye nodded.

At this moment, Yun Liao asked, "Sect leader, do I need to go and assist it?"

"There's no need. The people of Reliance Sect have all died."

"So fast?"

Yun Liao felt some shock in his heart. The image of that evil spirit knight once again floated up in his mind.

He was also afraid now.

It was just that he didn't show his fear.

How long had it only been and an expert at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement had already been killed? If this matter was spread, no one would probably believe it.

Most probably, only an expert at the Mystic Realm could do something like this, right?

No wonder this morning Wen Ping had said that Haha wouldn't spare them if they betrayed the Immortal Sect. To think that Haha was actually the Immortal Sect's protector. Originally, Yun Liao had assumed that Haha was just an ordinary mountain dog that would occasionally head to the mountains to capture some wild boar.

He hadn't been here for long, but he had misjudged Wen Ping and the Immortal Sect. However, he didn't expect he would also misjudge a dog.

"That Uncle Wang…" Yun Liao couldn't help but glance at the hundred-year-old Uncle Wang. He was thinking whether this person was an expert in disguise.

Wen Ping smiled and snapped his fingers. "That's right, it's precisely so fast!"

After consoling Huai Ye, Wen Ping supported Uncle Wang and walked toward the place he stayed.

"Uncle Wang, are you alright?"

"My bones are old and can no longer take abuse. But luckily, they haven't fallen apart yet. As for you, please don't get into trouble because of me. The foundation of the Reliance Sect is transcendent. The current Immortal Sect cannot withstand their torment."

"Uncle Wang, don't worry. The Reliance Sect might be strong, but our Immortal Sect isn't a soft persimmon either. Oh, right, what do you want for dinner tonight? I'll get Huai Ye to cook for you."

"A lamb shank then. It has been many years since I last ate that."

"Sure, I'll buy the ingredients later."

"Oh right. Sect leader, how's the matter of finding a wife for me, something that I asked you to help me with previously?"

Wen Ping: "..."

Wen Ping reckoned that Uncle Wang must have forgotten the incident where he was just held hostage with a sword. However, it was also possible that Uncle Wang basically didn't care for his life and death.
