After rebirth, I picked up my mortal enemy as my apprentice Chapter 022

Since they separated, Luo An would occasionally return to the scene of his meeting with her in his dreams.

On Yunjian Peak, in the morning light of dawn, the girl raised her sword and danced in the wind.

Her movements were very gentle at first, like an elegant snowbird floating in the air with a leisurely posture, as if she was resting on the clouds and supported by the wind.

Gradually, she became more calm and confident, and the rhythm of her dancing began to speed up. The sword moved with her body, and her body moved with her heart. As her waist turned, her snow-white gauze skirt fluttered and bloomed, like a snowbird spreading its wings and shaking off the water droplets on its body.

The steps she took as she danced with the spirit sword were as elegant as flowing clouds, but her body was graceful and agile, like a willow branch swaying in the wind.

Silent silence, like ripples of waves, swept across the top of Yunjian Peak. He quietly admired her enchanting sword dance, forgetting words.

The snow-white long skirt, like icy gauze, wrapped around her graceful body, and her sword dance, as graceful as a startled swan, showed off her beautiful curves to the fullest.

The girl has bright eyes, white teeth and long hair like clouds. Every step she takes seems to be accompanied by a blooming lotus, shining brightly.

The sword dance ended, but he hadn’t walked out yet. His mind was still lingering on her peerless dancing posture, savoring the beauty of it.

Until the girl’s cold voice pulled him back.

“Are you the new disciple from Yunjian Peak?”

This is my memory of the first time I met her half a year ago.

Now that cold and distant face overlapped with the warm and bright face now, and he couldn’t help but feel as if he was in another world.

Even though they had only not seen each other for half a year, he felt as if something had changed about her and she was very different from before.

Ke Jiu looked at Luo An’s handsome face, and nostalgia emerged in his eyes.

Senior Brother Luo An, when she met him in her previous life, it was half a year after she traveled through time.

At that time, she lived in a remote corner of the Jinghang Sect.

What was the vast world of immortal cultivation like outside? She knew nothing about it.

She only heard from her fellow disciples who occasionally came back from traveling outside that there were countless peaks in the Northern Region, with steep and harsh environments and thin spiritual energy.

However, there were people who dared to take risks and encountered caves left by senior immortals, and from then on they soared into the sky.

In the Tatu grasslands of the Western Region, there were rare and exotic animals that ordinary people had never heard of, galloping and shuttling on it…

At that time, the leader of Qianji Pavilion, one of the ten major immortal sects, Tianjizi, passed away, and his daughter inherited the position of leader of Qianji Pavilion. Jinghang Sect, also one of the ten major immortal sects, was invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new leader. At that time, she volunteered to take on the task of delivering gifts.

At that time, people from Luoshengmen came to visit and exchange ideas, and Luo An was among them. Luoshengmen suddenly received an invitation from Qianji Pavilion.

“One of our good friends who fought side by side against the Demon Sect is gone!” Sect Leader Luo He sighed. Then his eyes fixed on Luo An and he said, “Son, you will represent us at the inauguration ceremony of the Pavilion Master of Qianji Pavilion this time.”

“I have seen Qianjizi’s daughter. She is a very talented child. I heard that she opened her third eye when she was three years old. She has seen the secrets of heaven and helped the sect to turn danger into safety several times. It is not unacceptable for her to succeed Tianji Pavilion. I will ask someone to prepare a gift for you. Please don’t be rude to me when the time comes.”

Finally, Luo He remembered something and reminded his son, “According to reason, our Luosheng Sect has received an invitation to the inauguration ceremony of the new leader of Qianji Pavilion, and Jinghang Sect will also receive one. Go find out who the representative of Jinghang Sect is and go together to attend.”

Luo An learned that Ke Jiu was the representative of Jinghang Sect, so he took the initiative to climb Yunjian Peak.

“Are you the new disciple from Yunjian Peak?”

Facing Ke Jiu’s question, Luo An smiled slightly, his tone as warm as the clear sky, which made it impossible to create any barriers between them.

“I am Luo An, the representative of Luo Shengmen attending the inauguration ceremony of the new leader of Qianji Pavilion.”

“Luoshengmen and Jinghang Sect have been a perfect match and have been friends for a hundred years. I wonder if I can continue the friendship between the two sects and have the honor of making friends with Junior Sister Ke and attending the ceremony of Qianji Pavilion together?”

Ke Jiu was silent for a while, with many thoughts emerging in her mind.

Is he a representative of Luosheng Sect? I have heard from my master and fellow disciples that they are close friends of our sect. Every five years, the two sects will send people to exchange ideas and learn from each other… And Luo An, if I remember correctly, is the son of Luo He, the current leader of Luosheng Sect. He is likely to be the future leader.

She looked at Luo An’s smile, which was as clear as the clear sky, and accepted his invitation to join her.

But the journey was not smooth. Halfway through their journey, they were involved in a conspiracy. When they passed an isolated village, they found that all the villagers were pale, thin, lifeless and without any vitality.

“Oh~ It’s been a while since anyone has come to our village from outside. Guests are guests, so just stay here for two days. We in Taoyuan Village will treat you well.”

But contrary to the gloomy and gloomy appearance of the villagers in this village, they were very warm and strongly invited them to stay.

It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. They had just been traveling for many days and felt tired and exhausted, so they chose to rest in this village for a few days.

But they soon discovered something was wrong.

Their tables were filled with food and tea that Taoyuan villagers enthusiastically served to their guests.

When they raised their teacups and took a sip of tea, their faces changed drastically at the same time and they spat out the tea.

They looked at each other and said in unison: “There’s something wrong with this tea.”

Luo An was much more knowledgeable than Ke Jiu at that time. He used his true Qi, closed his eyes and sensed the food and water sent by the villagers. He immediately came to the conclusion: “These foods are all attached with evil corpse qi.”

Why would the villagers take the initiative to invite them to stay overnight and give them food with corpse smell, hoping that they would eat it?

If it weren’t for the fact that his Luoshengmen’s skills were extremely sensitive to corpse qi, an ordinary novice cultivator would probably have been infected if he had passed by here.

This was definitely not done by the villagers themselves, but someone was driving them to do this behind the scenes.

“If there is corpse qi, then there must be a Yin corpse!”

Luo An realized that there was a ghost lurking in this isolated village, and it was controlling the villagers.

Yin corpses are evil creatures that are created by the gathering of foul air, yin energy, and evil spirits between heaven and earth.

Generally, after a Yin corpse is revived, it has no intelligence and is just a bloodthirsty and murderous monster.

It will soon be discovered and exorcised by immortal cultivators.

However, there are exceptions.

Some Yin corpses are not discovered and exorcised in time by immortal cultivators when they are revived.

After devouring the flesh and blood of certain creatures, they will awaken their intelligence.

Ke Jiu had read that there was a record in the Jinghang Tongjian that in history there was a Yin corpse that awakened its spiritual intelligence.

It was cunning and treacherous, and specifically chose some remote and isolated mountain villages to secretly lurk and attack the villagers there, causing many tragic tragedies.

The first immortal cultivator who discovered it thought it was just an ordinary Yin corpse.

Unexpectedly, its Yin power had already been mastered to a small extent.

Not only did he fail to exorcise it, but he was sucked dry of blood and flesh by it.

The Yin corpse put on his human skin, took his identity and wreaked havoc on the world.

Not only that, this Yin Corpse later joined the Corpse Yin lineage among the seven lineages of the Demon Sect, devoured the flesh and blood of many immortal cultivators, and even the elders of the ten major immortal sects suffered from its vicious hands. When the ten major immortal sects united to wipe out the Demon Sect, its Corpse Yin power had already reached perfection. It took the previous master of Yunjian Peak and many elders of other immortal sects to destroy it.

But after that battle, the master of Yunjian Peak was seriously injured, and his body was severely corroded by the corpse qi. He passed away in less than ten years.

“Junior Sister Ke, we are in a very bad situation now. This corpse has summoned the villagers and pretended to entertain us warmly, trying to make us relax our vigilance and drink the tea containing its corpse qi. It seems that this corpse has developed intelligence.”

“The Yin Corpse has regained its spiritual intelligence, which means that even if it hasn’t broken through to the Xiantian realm, it’s probably not far away.”

At that time, Ke Jiu had just traveled through time not long ago, and his cultivation had not even broken through the Hua Gang level. Although Luo An was only one step away from the Xiantian level, this one step was the watershed that blocked many geniuses.

“Brother Luo, this Yin corpse dared to target us right away. I’m afraid it has tricked a cultivator before,” Ke Jiu frowned, and her tone was low: “I guess after tasting the flesh and blood of cultivators, its desire for the flesh and blood of mortals has decreased. It feels that eating them is tasteless and it’s a pity to throw them away, so it left these villagers as pawns.”

“Our situation is very dangerous now. The enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark. We don’t know the enemy’s background. What if the enemy is a corpse that has transformed into a powerful one that can rival the innate strong? Then the two of us will be buried in this isolated village.”

“Even if the other party is not a Kui corpse, there are several Yin corpses in this village and the situation is unclear. As long as there are two flying corpses, it is not a situation that we can easily deal with.”

Ke Jiu looked at Luo An and solemnly put forward his idea.

“A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. We should protect ourselves and leave immediately when we find a dangerous situation.”

“After leaving, find a trading place that can transmit spiritual information, tell the elders of the sect about the situation here, and let them deal with it personally.”

There is often a scene like that in horror movies where the protagonists arrive at a village and have obviously discovered that something is wrong in the village, but they are too stupid to choose to stay for the excitement and refuse to leave. Then, of course, they are all killed by ghosts in the end.

She would never die in such a typical way.

“Junior Sister Ke, if we leave, what will happen to these villagers?”

Luo An looked at her with a bitter smile, “If we leave immediately, the Infernal Corpse, unless it is a fool, will soon find out that we know its conspiracy.”

Luo An’s tone was heavy, as if he was thinking of something tragic. He clenched his fists and his palms trembled slightly. “It knew that it had been discovered, and it also knew that in the near future, a high-level cultivator would come to eradicate it. It would definitely kill all the villagers here without hesitation.”

“When we finally get people back, this place will probably have become a dead village, and the infernal corpse will have moved to another remote mountain village to continue his plot.”

He seemed to have thought of the end of this village, and his eyes were sad.

Ke Jiu’s heart moved slightly. She was vaguely moved by his mood, but she still insisted on her own ideas.

She asked calmly, “Brother Luo An, in your opinion, what should we do? Should we waste time with the unknown corpses for these villagers? Do you think there will be any good results?”

Luo An looked at her with a determined look and a firm tone.

“You go out to ask for help from the master, and I will stay to protect the villagers.”
