Book 5: Chapter 4: Today Is Not A Day To Kill

The night stars were scarce, and a bright moon hung in the sky. Taking advantage of the night, Bai Qiuran’s figure passed over the plain like a ghost.

The city where Zhao Ruize’s camp was located was originally a front-line command post. It was not far from the towns that were invaded and controlled by the demons. A cultivator in the Golden Core stage, with a flying sword, could travel that distance in just a few minutes.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Qiuran had already run to one of the towns controlled by the demon clan, and the demons guarding the door just felt a breeze.

He passed the defenders in the city and hid in an alley on the corner of the street.

In fact, Bai Qiuran didn’t like this kind of stealth spying. First of all, the invisibility technique was a spell that required Foundation Establishment stage or above, thus he couldn’t use it now.

Therefore, to avoid the enemy’s eye line, he must rely on the speed that exceeds the limit of dynamic vision and the subtle footwork that can step on the blind spot of others’ sight.

Not fast enough would leave afterimages, and if the footwork was not precise, it would leave traces. To be honest, this kind of stealth spying was more tiring than casting an invisibility technique, and the risk of exposure was greater.

If Bai Qiuran’s traces were exposed to the demon race, he could only use the most taboo of the stealth technique – the legendary “nobody will notice if there is nobody to notice”, but Bai Qiuran did not intend to take the initiative to kill this time.

Standing in the alley, Bai Qiuran scanned with his Soul Awareness and quickly found out the distribution of the monster races in the city. Then he turned over the wall and jumped to the roof.

Because he wanted to sneak in, he changed his clothes specially this time, and his long and conspicuous white hair was also wrapped in a black turban. As long as he used his footwork to block the blind spot, it should not be hard to avoid the eyes of the demons.

Stepping on the roof, Bai Qiuran began to observe the situation in the city.

Most of the citizens were still humans, but there are also a small number of demons mixed in them. They should be demonic merchants who come here to do business.

It’s actually very simple to distinguish between monsters and humans. Because of the common concept in the race, the demons have always had a sense of superiority to the humans. They thought that their race was superior to humans, so even after their transformation, they would still retain some of the original features.

For example, Bai Qiuran once met the fox princess Bai Ling and her maids in the Ding Kingdom. They were mixed in the human race before. Although they kept their complete human form because they wanted to hide their eyes and eyes, once they escaped, they would be transformed again into their true form, which exposed the ears and tails of the fox.

This kind of racial superiority was somewhat restrained by the defeat of the demon emperor in Bai Qiuran’s hand more than a thousand years ago, but the demon clan still couldn’t change this habit of retaining their own characteristics outside. Walking on the street, it’s easy to notice those with horns, tails, or scales among pure-blooded humans.

Bai Qiuran observed for a while, and indeed, as Zhao Ruize said, the human races in this city were still alive. Looking at their faces, apart from a little fear of the monster race, they have not been abused or bullied.

Even the soldiers walking on the street were all cautious as if they were afraid of being targeted by someone if they bullied the human race.

“What are they plotting?”

Bai Qiuran was puzzled.

When he walked along the roof and turned two streets, he saw a horned demon collided with a little girl carrying a basket and knocked the little girl to the ground.

The horned demon seems to have inherited the queer temper of the race. As soon as he saw this little girl, he blushed and wanted to attack.

Being able to transform, his cultivation level was at least Foundation Establishment stage. If he attacked, the thin girl would definitely not be able to stand it. Bai Qiuran has already raised his fingertips when he saw this.

At this moment, a demon who was patrolling by, wearing a demon clan officer’s armor and having a tiger’s tail, suddenly ran over and slapped the horned demon’s head, making him fall on the ground.

“Stupid!”

The tiger demon sullenly roared:

“Did you forget the instructions of the Demon King? Don’t hurt people casually, let alone kill people! If the Demon King’s plan is ruined, you will have to pay with your life!”

The horned demon got up from the ground, and when he saw the tiger demon’s red eyes, he immediately wilted and nodded and bowed his head to apologize.

Seeing his humble attitude, the tiger demon’s expression slowed down, he walked to the little girl, and in the latter’s fearful expression, he helped her pick up all the herbs that fell out of the basket, and smiled and said a few words.

Bai Qiuran bet that this is the most amiable smile he has ever seen on a tiger demon’s face in his life.

Seeing that the tiger demon hushed the little girl up and sent away like the aunt of the neighborhood, the horned demon was also a bit disillusioned. He couldn’t help asking:

“Officer, Sword Patriarch is just a human. Is he really that scary?”

“My clan, one of the most powerful families in the Western Demon Realm back then, was killed by him and only my father was left. Isn’t it scary?”

Facing the horned demon, the tiger demon was less polite, and shouted loudly:

“Let me make it clear for you – what Sword Patriarch hates most is the sight humans were slaughtered by different races. The original crowned prince, because of this, was killed even after he fled back to the demon realm. Do you think you are better than the prince, or better than His Majesty?”

The horned demon dared not say anything.

“I’m telling you, Sword Patriarch is like a ghost, and his whereabouts are elusive even for the demon king.”

At this time, the tiger demon looked around again, reaching out his hand and rubbing his arm, as if he really felt a chill.

“Maybe he is standing nearby right now, looking at you and me. If you really attack just now, maybe your head will fall on the ground in the next second!”

The horned demon shook his body when he heard it, and then he hugged his arms and whispered:

“Officer, you’re making him sound like a ghost.”

“Do you think he is not a ghost?”

The tiger demon looked around and replied in a low voice:

“He is a ghost. I heard that he has lived for more than three thousand years, and he is a ghost that haunted our monster race!”

The horned demon was so scared by him that his face turned pale. Perhaps because he felt pity for that fellow demon, the tiger demon didn’t embarrass him much, and after a few reprimands, he let him go.

Bai Qiuran pointed his fingertip at the tiger demon who said bad things about him. After thinking for a while, he put down his hand and released the sword energy from his fingertips.

“Hey, didn’t the vengeful Bai actually spare someone today?”

Wise Immortal on his waist joked.

Bai Qiuran patted the skull and shook his head:

“Today is not a day to kill.”
