Unsheathed

The first helper to arrive at the Lion Garden was an old immortal from a Daoist temple in the capital, someone who had a very good relationship with the Liu Clan. He gallantly traveled over to help, and he successfully broke through the illusion formation and reached the Lion Garden, where he stood guard under the room of the pitiful young woman. He set up an altar and drew talismans all around the area, performing Daoist rituals to ward off the fox demon.

The very next day, members of the Liu Clan found the esteemed Dragon Gate Tier immortal naked and hanging from a tree with his hands tied together. The old immortal was utterly embarrassed after being rescued, and he could only lament that the fox demon was far too powerful for him.

Afterward, Qi refiner after Qi refiner was defeated and shooed away by the fox demon. Some of the Qi refiners were gallant individuals coming to help because of the Liu Clan's admirable traditions and values, while some of the Qi refiners were drawn over by the offer of the three ancestral relics.

However, they were all toyed with and embarrassed by the fox demon.

In the end, the fox demon publicly announced to Assistant Minister Liu that he would visit the Lion Garden once every ten days, and his "father-in-law" could feel free to hire as many helpers as he wanted to fight against his "son-in-law." That way, he could prove his abilities to the Lion Garden, and after they became one family, the calamity of today would definitely end up becoming the beautiful stories of tomorrow.

Chen Ping'an silently listened to all of this.

The young girl with freckles on her nose was the daughter of the steward, and she also remained silent the entire time. Before leaving the pavilion, she had most likely been accompanying her father and chatting with him.

Before entering the Lion Garden, Chen Ping'an glanced at the Yang Energy Illumination Talisman on Pei Qian's forehead and quietly tapped it with his finger. However, the talisman that was extremely sensitive to yin energy and murderous aura didn't react to the surrounding environment.

Chen Ping'an didn't remove the talisman from Pei Qian's forehead, but he wasn't feeling relaxed either. This extremely bold fox demon definitely had some unique strengths; perhaps he was a great demon that had become a true earth immortal.

There were three other groups of cultivators in the Lion Garden right now, all of whom were waiting for the fox demon to show itself.

Add to that Chen Ping'an and his companions, and there were now four groups of cultivators present.
