Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 10: Eliminating Evil (4)

"We're just leaving like this?" Chu Yeli couldn't believe it.

"You don't necessarily want to stay there, do you?"

Nie Xushuang couldn't stop feeling nauseous.

"There has to be a reason," Sun Yuan said silently, raising his hand, knowing that the Wen family was watching.

Luo Zai Shui lifted a corner of her veil and casually pointed: "Why is there a dark figure over there?"

Shi Ming understood immediately: "Let's go take a look!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two rushed out.

Ye Xiao followed without hesitation: "You monster, don't run away!"

Chu Yeli also took out a stack of talismans: "Let's go, let's go help too!"

The group of people vanished without a trace.

"Phew, water is still the best solution. I feel like the spiritual energy is stinky wherever the Wen family is." Nie Xushuang fanned her nose, looking disgusted.

Sun Yuan was somewhat worried: "They won't catch up, will they?"

"Don't worry." Chu Yeli was very confident about this. "With our strength, ordinary people can't catch up with us, and the Wen family are all good-for-nothings, so they won't bother chasing us."

Ye Xiao suddenly remembered something: "What about my junior brothers?"

Luo Zai Shui showed the sound transmission talisman in his hand: "I've already sent a message to Ting Han, they're on their way here."

Nie Xushuang suddenly realized something: "Oh no, I sent your Xue Xin out to gather herbs. What if he runs into the Wen family when he gets back?"

"Huh?" Luo Zai Shui never expected that he would forget his junior brother. "I'll try to contact him using a sound transmission talisman."

"No need, senior sister..." a resentful voice rang out, "You still remember that you have a junior brother like me..."

Xue Xin jumped out from the shadows: "When I was gathering herbs, I saw a group of people rushing this way. I thought something had happened. Turns out you guys were just running away."

Luo Zai Shui felt a pang of conscience for two seconds: "Junior brother, you have to believe me, I didn't mean it."

Xue Xin turned his resentful gaze to his senior brother: "Senior brother..."

Shi Ming, feeling guilty, turned his head away.

Xue Xin wasn't going to let him off the hook: "Senior Brother, do you know how miserable my life was in the Huayu Sect?"

"Hahahaha, Xue Xin, what's with that ghostly tone of yours? Hahahaha."

Just from that smug tone, you could tell that Jian Muyi and the others were back.

Qiao An, hands on her hips, was the first to jump out: "What happened at Huayu Sect? He just did some physical labor with Senior Brother Xue, why does it seem like he was drained of his life force by a demon?"

Ji Tinghan joked, "Junior Sister Qiao, you don't understand. Your Senior Brother Xue used to blush when he talked to a female cultivator. He's alright now, but your Huayu Sect is full of delicate female disciples. If he saw them, he'd probably want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into."

The members of the Huayu Sect chuckled softly, "Oh~ so it's Senior Brother Xue who's shy~"

Xue Xin stiffened his neck: "I didn't."

Looking at the large group of people, Luo Zai Shui felt a headache coming on: "Senior Sister Nie, what will happen to the patients in the town if the Huayu Sect leaves?"

"Don't worry, the patients in the town have been mostly settled."

Shi Ming looked at Jian Muyi: "How's the disposal of those floating corpses in town going?"

Jian Muyi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, we searched the town inside and out, and we guarantee that there isn't a single floating corpse that could have caused any harm!"

Xu Yu of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect said with lingering fear, "There are quite a few floating corpses in the town. We killed at least thirty floating corpses in the north."

Linghaizong Song Yuan echoed, "Yes, we also cleared out nearly forty bodies in the south."

"We are too, at least thirty of us."

Ye Xiao frowned upon hearing this: "There are quite a few dirty things in this town."

Su Wusi's gaze lingered on Ye Xiao's face for two seconds before turning to Luo Zaishui: "Senior sister, this number is not right."

Nie Xushuang added, "Before you arrived, we had cleared at least sixty-seven floating corpses."

Jian Muyi was horrified: "Just how many people has this monster eaten?!"

Chu Yeli placed a talisman into the water, and the talisman turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Everyone retreated, trying to get as far away from the riverbank as possible.

"Ho-"

"Step back!" Chu Yeli slapped another talisman onto the floating corpse, and the blazing fire instantly burned the corpse to ashes.

"They're there too!"

Ye Xiaoyu cleaved the floating corpse in half with a single sword strike. Luo Zai lit a talisman in the water, and only then did everyone realize that the water was filled with countless floating corpses.

Nie Xushuang immediately pulled up Qiao An, who was leaning against her, and said, "Let's go! There are too many of them! Don't let them wear us down!"

Luo Zai Shui shielded Su Wu Si behind him, with seven talismans swirling around him in a protective formation. Everyone else also revealed their magical artifacts.

"Aaaaaah! A floating corpse has come ashore!"

"Shut up, hold your breath!" Chu Yeli was getting a headache from the noise, so he threw out another fire talisman.

Shi Ming pierced through the floating corpse in front of him with a single sword strike: "Retreat!"

Luo Zai Shui, Chu Ye Li, Ji Ting Han, and other talisman cultivators threw out fire talismans together, setting up a fire array to stop the floating corpses.

A foul stench filled the air, and some of the younger female cultivators couldn't stand it and vomited.

Shi Ming sheathed his sword: "Let's go back to town first."

"What?" Chu Yeli didn't want to go back; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist sending his master a massacre gift.

Ye Xiao also sheathed his sword: "The town is much safer than outside."

"Let's go. It's definitely safer in town right now. We don't know how many floating corpses we'll be facing by midnight," Nie Xushuang said in a muffled voice, covering her mouth and nose.

Sun Heng and Sun Yuan used another wave of magical artifacts to suppress the floating corpses in the water: "We can take on as many as come, but our junior brothers and sisters are more likely to be affected. Let's go back first and just treat it as a fly over there."

Luo Zai Shui glanced at Su Wu Si behind her. In comparison, Su Wu Si appeared far too calm, as if she had faced this scene countless times and was already used to it.

"Let's go back, let's go back." Chu Yeli's expression was as if he had swallowed a hundred flies. "This thing will be even more ferocious in the middle of the night, and then it will be a lot of trouble."

A large group of people returned to Luoxia Town under the moonlight. Fortunately, Wen Lian's group had already found a place to rest, and no one came to cause them any trouble.

On the way back to the house to rest, Luo Zai Shui deliberately lagged behind, walking side by side with Su Wu Si.

"Junior sister, aren't you scared?"

Luo Zai Shui's voice is ethereal. She speaks in a very calm tone, which makes her sound gentle and kind to most people.

But these words struck Su Wusi like a thunderbolt. How many times had she slipped up in front of her senior sister?

Having lived for countless years, Su Wusi quickly calmed her racing heart: "What are you saying, Senior Sister? Of course I'm scared, but I see the hands of the senior sisters from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect trembling as they hold their swords. I can't let Xianyun Peak down. Besides, with you protecting me, Senior Sister, I'm not scared anymore!"

When she uttered the word "fear," the perfectly timed tremor made it seem as if she was putting on a brave face, but in reality, she was terrified and was only now letting down her guard to seek comfort from her senior.

In the past, if Luo Zai Shui didn't know Su Wu Si's secret, she would definitely comfort Su Wu Si, but now Su Wu Si has too many flaws.

Luo Zai Shui seemed to have known her for a long time, so long that she could tell whether Luo was lying just by looking at her movements. For example, right now, the ring finger of her left hand was trembling involuntarily.

Su Wusi noticed that her gaze was fixed on her left hand, and she subconsciously covered her hand.

Luo Zai Shui silently smiled, and Su Wu Si lowered her hand, trying to cover up her misunderstanding.

“Senior Sister…” What Su Wusi feared most in her life was seeing her senior sister’s deep eyes. Her gaze was always gentle, just like her. But the world had never treated her gently, not even death.

Luo Zai Shui smiled and rubbed her head: "Alright, go and rest. I scared you today too. You have to be braver in the future, hold your sword tightly, and believe that you can cut through everything."

After saying that, Luo Zai Shui turned to leave.

"Senior Sister!" Su Wusi grabbed her sleeve. "I...I am..."

A clap of thunder drowned out Su Wusi's voice. Normally, cultivators have excellent hearing, unless Heaven itself doesn't want her to hear.

Luo Zai Shui exhaled a breath of stale air as large raindrops pounded on the ground: "It's raining. Junior Sister, you should get some rest."

Su Wusi was anxious. She tightly gripped Luo Zai Shui's clothes, the scene from that day flashing before her eyes. Her hands trembled uncontrollably: "Senior Sister, I'm scared..."

Luo Zai Shui turned around and gently hugged her: "Don't be afraid, it's just thunder. Your senior brother Jian and the others have already eliminated those floating corpses. It's alright now."

Su Wusi hugged her tightly and suddenly burst into tears. The way her senior sister stood in front of her today gave her the illusion that those things had never happened, that it was just a nightmare. She was so scared, so scared that those things would happen again, but she was still powerless to do anything about it.

She had always been a timid person. She dared not swing her sword forcefully, dared not kill demonic beasts, dared not travel alone at night. She was afraid of so many things. It was Xianyun Peak that took her in, and it was her senior sister who noticed her fear and comforted her immediately. This was a home she had finally found.

Later, she lost her fear, and Xianyun Peak was gone. Only a senior brother with gray hair remained on the mountain, guarding the memory of the past.

Su Wusi seemed to be crying out all the grievances she had held over the years. She cried until she felt dizzy, and her sobs gradually subsided.

"It's alright, it's alright." Luo Zai Shui gently patted her back, just like a gentle mother. "None of the things you're worried about will happen. You have to believe us, we're family."

"Senior sister, I..." Su Wusi buried her head in her arms. It turned out that her senior sister had already guessed. She choked up and said, "I miss you so much. I miss you all every day. I want to go home so much."

Luo Zai Shui said softly, "It will be alright, Junior Sister. Trust me. Get some rest. We'll be busy tomorrow."

"it is good."

The rain intensified, and raindrops falling from the eaves splashed onto Luo's wet shoes and socks, instantly freezing into ice crystals. After falling to the ground, they melted back into water droplets and returned to the puddles.

"Junior Sister Luo."
