Bold Witch, Don’T Hurt My Husband

Chapter 47: The End

After regrouping, the four of them didn't return to Fangyang County. Instead, they quickly distanced themselves from the place. Who knows if there are any Demonic Cultivators left? After all, the four of them are not in good condition.

The four of them headed west.

Relying on their own feet, they arrived at Yongyang County adjacent to Fangyang County. Compared to the desolation of Fangyang County, this place was much more prosperous. Although it couldn't compare to Bright City in Xia Fan's memory, it still had the appearance of a bustling city, unaffected by the Demonic Cultivators.

As for the aftermath in Fangyang County, it was not their responsibility. They were not officials of the court. After completing their mission, they would report to the sect and be done with it.

At this moment, the four of them were meditating in a room, recovering from their injuries. Apart from giving Zhong Yue a sip of gourd water, Xia Fan didn't pay much attention to the other two. After all, he didn't want to expose Bai Yu's supernatural abilities too much.

Because of Bai Yu, Xia Fan recovered the fastest. Zhong Yue was only poisoned, but once the poison was resolved, she immediately became lively and energetic. Only Wang Lian and Ding Peng were more seriously injured.

In addition to their external injuries, the two of them also used a life-saving secret technique, even though it was only for a short period of time, it still made them extremely weak. After all, what was burned was their essence and blood.

"Hoo~"

Looking at Wang Lian and Ding Peng who had opened their eyes, Xia Fan couldn't help but ask, "How are you feeling?"

"We're fine. The ominous power in our bodies has been completely cleared!" Ding Peng responded.

Xia Fan nodded in response to this. For some reason, he didn't experience the phenomenon of his mana being eroded. It seemed to be related to the cultivation technique he practiced.

The spiritual power cultivated through the Longevity Technique naturally had a vibrant feeling, as if it was inherently opposed to that ominous power.

It couldn't be said who restrained whom, but there was indeed no sign of his mana being eroded.

"We owe our lives to Senior Xia this time!" Ding Peng clasped his fists and said. Even Wang Lian, who was beside him, also bowed. Seeing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but be taken aback, then said:

"Senior, there's no need to say that. Supporting each other is our duty. Besides, I'm younger and can't afford to be called senior!"

Seeing that he was a little at a loss, Zhong Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's how it is in the Demonic Sect. Whoever has the bigger fist is the senior. Among the four of us, your strength is the highest, so you can indeed be called senior. But I don't want to call you that!"

The two of them had known each other for a long time. When Xia Fan's cultivation level hadn't reached the Transcendence stage yet, Zhong Yue already considered herself his senior sister. Now that she suddenly realized that her former junior brother's cultivation level had surpassed her own, she felt happy but also a bit powerless.

"Sister, there's no need to be so polite. I was able to leave the mountain this time thanks to you!" Xia Fan smiled.

Seeing that he didn't put on the airs of a senior, Zhong Yue nodded in satisfaction. "I don't know how you cultivated. Clearly, it was only a year ago that you just reached the Transcendence stage. At this rate, if you give yourself another two years, you might become the Senior Brother of our Demonic Sect!"

The current Senior Brother of the Demonic Sect was Zhao Hao, at the peak of the Gold Core stage. He had once fought against a small sect's Nascent Soul stage expert and achieved a tie. Although he was a rare genius, there was still a certain gap between him and the true prodigies.

True prodigies could almost kill Nascent Soul stage experts with ease, and they would still have room to spare. It must be known that there was a huge gap between the middle three stages and the lower three stages.

Even Xia Fan himself had noticed his own shortcomings. He used to think that he was outstanding among his peers, carrying a sense of mysterious self-confidence. But apart from being able to invite gods, he seemed to only be an average genius.

Although this was his first time going out, he had heard Lin Su brag a lot when he was in Mirror Moon Valley. Even Xiao Fengshan killed people across borders as easily as drinking water.

"Let it go. I'm not cut out to be the Senior Brother. Sister, please don't say such things!" Xia Fan said.

In his previous life, he had never even been a class representative, so how could he become the Senior Brother? He stayed away from the limelight.

Seeing that Zhong Yue still wanted to argue, Xia Fan quickly continued, "What should we do now? We already have a clear understanding of the situation in Huangning Village. Should we go back and take a look?"

Ding Peng shook his head, "No need, the situation has been investigated and it's a Demonic Cultivator. Moreover, their strength is not low. Our strength is insufficient, and if there are any remaining fish, their strength won't be low either. We must report this to the sect!"

Wang Lian, who was beside him, also smiled and said, "Congratulations, junior martial brother. You have successfully completed your first mission outside the mountain. We need to return to the sect to report. Ah, we ran so fast that we didn't leave any evidence. Otherwise, the rewards would have been abundant!"

After all, they had resolved two Gold Core and three Foundation Establishment cultivators this time, and they were Demonic Cultivators. The rewards from the sect would definitely be substantial.

Hearing this, Xia Fan waved his arm and two things appeared on the table: a pitted Beast Core and a torn Ghost Banner. These were things he had casually picked up from the ground before leaving.

Although both items had lost their spirituality, they still exuded an ominous power.

"Evil weapons! No wonder there are Demonic Cultivators nearby," Ding Peng suddenly realized.

"Evil weapons?"

Seeing his confusion, Ding Peng quickly explained, "Evil weapons contaminated by ominous power. If I'm not mistaken, those few people were corrupted by this evil weapon and turned into Demonic Cultivators. I didn't expect it, junior martial brother."

As he was halfway through his sentence, he suddenly stopped. He remembered that Xia Fan had means given by his elders, so it wasn't a big deal to cut off an evil weapon.

"But we can't use this thing anymore. Let's bring it back to the sect elders to have a look. It can also be considered our reward!"

Regarding this, he directly pushed the things on the table to Zhong Yue and said, "Senior sister, you take it. I don't need it!"

The others wanted to refuse, but they realized that Xia Fan had connections, so it was normal for him to not care about those rewards.

"Then thank you, junior martial brother. I won't be polite!" Zhong Yue smiled.

Immediately, the group of four stayed in Yongyang County for three days. After Ding Peng and Wang Lian's injuries had mostly healed, they set off on their journey back.

Two days later, on an official road.

"What? Junior martial brother, you're not returning to the sect with us?" Zhong Yue asked in confusion.

Xia Fan nodded, "Hmm, it's not easy to come out once. I want to explore more."

Yes, the others were returning to the sect, but Xia Fan naturally didn't want to. Since he had come out, he had to fulfill his dream of wielding a sword in the martial world. It wouldn't hurt to explore more.

"Where do you want to go? I'll accompany you!" Zhong Yue quickly said.

She was afraid that her junior martial brother would be deceived by some woman again on his first trip outside the mountain.

"No need, senior sister. I'll be careful. As for where to go, I haven't decided yet!"

Seeing him say this, Zhong Yue could only give up, "Then when are you planning to come back? In another half a year, Cloud Sea Academy's Sea of Learning and Tower of Enlightenment will open. Our sect has ten spots. Junior martial brother, won't you try to compete for one?"

Hearing this, Xia Fan was speechless. Did he still need to compete? That was the dowry for his future wife, even though he had never seen that person.

"Then senior sister, compete for a spot at Cloud Sea Academy in half a year. Maybe we can meet there!"

"Junior martial brother..." Seeing him say this, the three of them were somewhat incredulous. Xia Fan's words undoubtedly told them that he had connections and a reserved spot.

"Alright, it's settled. Half a year later, we'll meet at Cloud Sea Academy!"

"It's a deal!"

After saying that, the four turned and mounted their horses. Xia Fan bowed to the three of them and then left in the opposite direction.
