Peerless Sword Saint Checks In Secretly For 3000 Years-Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Demon, Ji Ling!

With fear and trepidation, Lin Qingxian carried Shen Changge’s dirty clothes with her as she left his dormitory.

After she left Shen Changge’s complexion completely darkened.

Little Junior Sister is pretty close to me. Besides, as long as my little junior sister is there, my clothes will always be neat and clean. Junior Sister treats me like her family. Whoever dares to threaten her might as well be threatening me.

When Shen Changge thought that he would have to roam around the world and stand on the Empyrean Peak, holding his hands behind his back and wearing clothes that were as murky as if they were graffitied by mischievous children without Junior Sister, his expression became unsettled.

He waved his hand gently.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, three swords flew out from beneath his bed.

Those three swords were what he had acquired from the Sol Sword Sect.

Riding Sword: Divine Wind.

Styling Sword: Sundial.

Assaulting Sword: Sheen.

Those three swords were of the True Spirit grade.

The grades for weapons: Qi Gathering, True Spirit, Gerent.

That was what Shen Changge knew at present. As those three swords could all be considered middle-to-upper tier True Spirit swords, for Shen Changge who was accustomed to using Qi Gathering swords, they were unprecedentedly powerful.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Shen Changge walked out of his house and vanished into the darkness.

Within the Empyrean Sword Sect, all of the disciples shuddered with one mind.

“More and more strange things are happening in the sect. Zhang Tong had his vitality sucked out and was transformed into a dried-up corpse. Sigh, life is really so fragile inside the dark mist.”

“Yeah. As we’re in the dark mist at this moment, nobody knows how many cold and eerie eyes are staring at us from some place that we can’t see...”

Today, the disciples were a little afraid to go out.

A dried-up corpse had appeared in the sect and the murderer had not yet been found. Hence, nobody knew whether or not they would become the next victim.

Everyone was in a state of anxiety.

Just like during the attack by the demon who assumed the form of a little girl at the very beginning!

No one knew when someone would die again!

“Junior Sister, can I spend the night at your house tonight? I’m just gonna go into your room, not your body, you know.”

“P*ss off! I already asked two of our senior sisters to come to stay at my place tonight.”

“Well, that is too unfortunate. You lost the chance to see me unsheathe my... Cough, cough. Junior Sister, put your sword back, would you? We can talk things out.”

“P*ss! Off!”

Many disciples began forming groups of three to five and living together so that the demon hiding in the dark would have no chance to attack!

After all, many hands make light work!

Under such circumstances, should one be left behind alone, it would be too dangerous!

However, at that very moment...

“Scoundrel! What have you done?!”

“Why have you become like this?”

In a room, Elder Mo’s eyes were full of anger and disbelief. Having just finished dealing with the integration of the original Sol Sword Sect into their sect, he was about to visit his apprentice. However, as soon as he arrived at Ji Ling’s residence, he saw that his proud disciple was sitting on the ground at the moment with a corpse in front of him. The corpse belonged to a disciple of the Sol Sword Sect, and at that very instant, the corpse had seemingly had its vitality ripped away.

It was gradually drying out and shriveling up...

This was a demon’s method!

Elder Mo felt his head spinning. The impact of this incident on him was too great. The disciple whom he was the most content with had actually turned into a demon?

How was that possible?

At that moment, Ji Ling’s expression changed drastically from embarrassed to fearful to guilty, and last of all, it all turned into apathy. At that moment, he was wearing a black robe that covered up all of his skin. Vaguely, one could see skull marks that were blood-red in color on the skin of his that was inadvertently exposed. They were very densely packed.

“Master...”

His voice was imbued with fear, but at that moment, it sounded extremely hoarse and no longer resembled the voice of a human.

“You traitor!

“Why! Why did you do this?! Aren’t you aware of the consequences from doing so?!” Elder Mo felt extremely painful. He could not seem to accept this!

Ji Ling had become neither human nor demon!

“In order to survive!” Ji Ling suddenly said aloud.

Elder Mo was stunned.

“The dark mist has descended. A new era has dawned! Only demons! Only demons can survive! All of you are going to die! The very existence of the living is against the dark mist! Only demons within the dark mist can live a better life! Isn’t it the same for those Mist Dwellers?! They adjusted to the dark mist, and hence have grown stronger...” Ji Ling’s face was hideous. In fact, he had always been against this in the past. Despite having some kind of deal with that tiny skeleton, he kept on delaying this, all until he heard the Empyrean Sword Sect’s elders’ description of the Mist Dwellers. After that, he felt his outlook on the world instantly crumbling.

Mist Dwellers...

Aren’t they the same as demons?

They were people who had become demons...

As a result, something like a last line of defense in Ji Ling’s heart was broken. Hence, he took advantage of the conflict between the Sol Sword Sect and Empyrean Sword Sect to provide a plethora of living entities to the skeleton.

“Mist Dwellers aren’t like that...” Elder Mo’s expression was pained.

“I don’t care! I want power! I want to live! Sooner or later, all of you will die!” The pain on Ji Ling’s face gradually disappeared and turned into what seemed cold and hideous.

...

“Scoundrel! You scoundrel!” Elder Mo said furiously after looking at Ji Ling’s disfigured experience for a while. He raised his palm and there was horrifying energy brewing in it.

“Our tie ends here today, for I shall cleanse what’s under my own roof!”

Elder Mo clapped his palm. Horrifying energy surged and pressed down like a giant mountain, causing the houses nearby to collapse!

“Would your powers allow you to do so, Master?”

Ji Ling sneered. His body morphed into a ray of red light and evaded Elder Mo’s attack in an extremely strange way!

Unknowingly to him, Ji Ling had stepped into Middle-stage Liberation!

The flesh on Ji Ling’s hands abruptly disintegrated leaving only white bones behind. His skeletal hands glowed with a gloomy radiance as his aura became laced with cold.

“Kill him... kill... and... become... stronger...”

At that moment, on Ji Ling’s skeletal hand, a tiny skeleton popped up. It was constantly shaking, blooming with a demonic light, and erupting with power!

Spllurgh!

Within a fraction of a second, Ji Ling’s palm landed on Elder Mo’s chest!

...

Ka-boom!

Even the house was immediately blown apart!

“Elder Mo!” The elders around had long sensed an aura that was out of the ordinary. At that moment, their expressions changed drastically. When the house blew up, they saw Elder Mo go flying out. Subsequently, the appearance of the strange-looking Ji Ling also had everybody shocked!

“What the hell?”

“That person is Ji Ling! Why has he turned into that horrifying thing?!”

Ji Ling growled. Immediately, his body exploded into a cloud of red light and disappeared into the darkness!

“Elder Mo! What happened?!”

“Tell... tell the Sect Lord... Ji Ling... He... he is possessed by a demon...”

“What?!”

Everyone’s expression changed drastically.

Everyone felt a cold chill deep down within.

They glanced at the disciple who once belonged to the Sol Sword Sect who had become a dried-up corpse on the ground. In other words, Ji Ling, who was now at the Liberation stage, was constantly looking for flesh and blood to devour in the Empyrean Sword Sect!
