In the frigid lands, after my exile, I began to slay demons and monsters.

Chapter 157 The Demon's Footprints Reappear

Ning Xiaoxi was stunned. Why did they act without giving any prior notice? Why?

Diwen moved quickly, lifting the table in front of him to block the Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger.

"puff!"

The Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger pierced straight through the table and plunged viciously into his lower abdomen.

A sharp pain shot through my wrist, and a pink snowflake, carrying a chilling aura, pierced towards the ground.

The Earth Demon's folding fan swept directly towards the Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger. Bai Qingting nimbly pulled the screen behind him to shield himself. Liao Wenju's raised leg turned and blocked Bai Qingting's path.

The Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger trembled eerily before piercing Di Wen's abdomen. Pink snowflakes suddenly expanded, obscuring Di Kui's folding fan, and glistening white snowflakes fell in droves, causing the temperature inside the room to drop several degrees.

Black energy rose from Di Wen's body and was drawn away from behind her. A soft voice followed, "What a clever little girl!" As soon as the voice fell, the black energy rushed towards Liu Xing, who had led the way in through the door and hadn't had time to leave yet.

Ning Xiaoxi struck Liu Xing with a defensive talisman, the impact creating ripples like water. The newly formed defensive shield shattered, and Liu Xing was sent flying backward. The black energy followed him out the door. The Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger was pulled from Di Wen's body and transformed into a shadow, giving chase. Di Kui caught up at the same time, but he wasn't as fast as the Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger. By the time he stepped out the door, both the black energy and the Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger had vanished.

Di Kui stood at the door, his face dark and gloomy. The dense demonic aura emanating from the gathering black energy made him feel utterly humiliated. Liu Xing, though unharmed after falling, quickly scrambled to his feet and returned to Di Kui's side, not daring to move an inch.

Ning Xiaoxi came to Di Wen's side and saw that his face was pale and his breathing was weak. She took out a brick spirit crystal and placed it next to Di Wen.

Bai Qingting and Liao Wenju looked at each other, not knowing they were Taoist priests and couldn't get involved given the situation. So they stood obediently by the screen.

Di Kui turned around and went back into the house with a grim expression, coming to Ning Xiaoxi's side.

At this moment, Ling Jingxin returned dragging a transparent net, and a ball of black energy churned inside the net, unable to break free.

Ning Xiaoxi caught the Spirit Crystal Heart and handed the object to Di Kui, saying, "My lord, only the aura remains; the consciousness has vanished."

Di Kui cautiously accepted it and nodded, "Xiao Xi, you've worked hard."

Bai Qingting and Liao Wenju came over to say goodbye at the same time. They did not want to get involved in the demon incident, and it was wise for them to leave as soon as possible.

Di Kui felt he had never been so humiliated in his life, so he didn't try to stop them and had Liu Xing see them out.

When Ning Xiaoxi saw Di Kui's appearance, her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Di Kui was a very proud person. He had lost face so badly this time, especially at such a critical moment of handover. Would Di Kui hold a grudge against her? She gripped the Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger tightly. This little guy really knew how to cause her trouble. Should she wait until Di Kui left before using it?

Ning Xiaoxi was extremely embarrassed. She didn't know whether to leave or stay. Seeing that the spirit crystal next to Diwen had been absorbed almost completely, she quickly took out another one.

"I will make up for Xiaoxi's losses today." Seeing Ning Xiaoxi generously take out two large spirit crystals, Diwen's expression improved considerably, and he felt relieved.

"My lord, I shall take my leave now, so as not to disturb you and Lord Diwen any longer." Ning Xiaoxi took the opportunity to say goodbye. If she didn't leave now, it would be difficult for her to leave once Diwen woke up.

"I will report today's events truthfully and recommend Xiaoxi for credit."

"Oh dear, my lord, I only came to pay my respects to Lord Diwen today and to bid you farewell. I really didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything." Ning Xiaoxi tried to make amends, waiting to see if Lord Dikui would accept her reply. She didn't bother to wait for Dikui's response and left after speaking.

He bumped into Liu Xing, who was returning, smiled and nodded, then quickly left.

Di Kui watched the departing figure with a deep gaze.

Upon seeing the situation inside, Liu Xing quickly came in, helped Di Wen up, and escorted him into the inner room.

Ning Xiaoxi left quickly, her grip on the spirit crystal tightening. "Tell me, how could you be so impulsive? That's Lord Diwen! Lord Dikui hasn't left yet! Even if you can easily force out demonic energy, what's the use? Da Tou ran away, didn't he? What's the rush? I'm not even ready yet, and you're already charging forward. What are you rushing for? What if we get retaliated against? We're still on their territory!"

Ling Jingxin's light dimmed after being scolded, and she looked like a black heart.

"You're still complaining? What are you complaining about? When did I ever stop you from taking action? Why are you finding work for yourself? Who taught you that?"

The dragon vein inside the cave shimmered. The black bead was honest, but she would have believed it if the churning inside hadn't been so lively. The jade cabbage turned over, facing outwards in what was unclear whether it was front or back, and the whole cabbage trembled.

"What are you all laughing at? You must have taught it to do that. It has never been this unreliable before."

"Xiao Xi, stop scolding it. It's so good! It even takes the initiative to attack. It's a great little monster-slaying baby." Tuanzi looked at Ling Jingxin with envy. It could only make Xiao Xi do things, but Ling Jingxin could do them herself. How cool!

Ning Xiaoxi felt like spitting out blood to show that she was angry.

Where did that demon come from?

Tuanzi's expression was somewhat serious. [She was a newly born demon.]

Ning Xiaoxi was really about to vomit blood this time.

Every demon that has ever existed will be recorded, but this one isn't.

[The old demons haven't been completely wiped out, and new ones have appeared? Tuanzi, do you really want us to die together?!]

"This has nothing to do with me. Who knows what might emerge from this strange place!"

Ning Xiaoxi let out a long breath and felt that demons were really annoying; she preferred monsters.

The stinging pain in her left wrist was quite noticeable. Ning Xiaoxi glared at the snowflake that was flashing pink light and felt annoyed.

"It's only at the level of a demon general. Find its true form and kill it!" Tuanzi said angrily.

Ning Xiaoxi took a deep breath to calm herself down. "This is home now. My parents and brothers are all here. We need to build good relationships with Lord Di Sha, Lord County Magistrate, and Lord Garrison Commander. Why don't you understand?"

[Tuanzi, you need to step up your game! Max out my skills quickly, okay?]

"Xiao Xi?" Ning Ziqing drove the carriage to pick up his younger sister. As soon as they left the town, he saw his sister standing there alone, muttering to herself.

[Once I max out my skills, unleash your ultimate ability. Once I reach the Super Tier, I can at least protect my parents and brother for a short period.]

"Xiao Xi?" Ning Ziqing jumped off the carriage and quickly walked a few steps to Ning Xiao Xi's side.

[My brother's spiritual power is insufficient, which has prevented him from improving his strength. We need to start teaching and imparting knowledge to him as soon as possible.]

"Xiao Xi?" Ning Ziqing patted Ning Xiao Xi's shoulder.
