Villain: There Are Too Many Protagonists, So I Gave Up - Chapter 422

Xiao Qi stood under a tree outside the village. Like Chu Chu, she had accepted a mission from the sect before coming out. Her mission was to find and eliminate the demon cultivators who appeared here.

“Is there no demonic energy left?” Xiao Qi looked around carefully, but she did not find any traces of demon cultivators.

After thinking for a few seconds, she planned to disguise herself and hide her identity as a disciple of Tianjian Sect… no, Zhanyue Sect, to prevent the demon cultivators from running away directly after seeing her.

After a while, Xiao Qi changed into an ordinary tight-fitting clothes, covered her white hair with a bamboo hat, and matched the long sword at her waist. She looked like a heroic female knight, but her height was a little less than ideal.

Although it was also suspicious for her to appear outside the village in this outfit, as long as the other party could not recognize her identity as a disciple of Zhanyue Sect, it would be fine. After all, for demon cultivators, disciples of large sects and disciples of small sects are two different things. If they encounter the former, they must run away, but the latter can become part of their own cultivation.

So even if the demon cultivator could not confirm her identity, the other party would not leave easily, and might even come close to observe, which gave her a chance.

So, Xiao Qi walked quickly towards the village. If the demon cultivator still stayed here, he would definitely hide near the village and secretly capture the villagers for cultivation.

And the development of things was just as she expected. When she was wandering around the village and asking the villagers about the missing people, a pretty woman walked towards her nervously.

“Um, immortal, are you here to investigate the missing people here?”

“I’m not an immortal, I’m an immortal cultivator.” Xiao Qi corrected the other party’s address, and then continued to ask her, “Do you have any clues?”

“Of course.” The woman nodded quickly, “Before they disappeared, they came to buy tofu from me. At that time, I heard them seem to say that there was some fairy air on the south mountain, and they wanted to go to the south mountain to find out.”

“Well, thank you, I will go and take a look later.” Xiao Qi nodded.

“Then I’ll trouble you, Immortal. I’ve been really scared these past few days, especially since I heard someone say that demons were wreaking havoc, which caused me to not sleep well these past two days. By the way, Immortal, are you an Immortal from the Chixia Sect? I heard that there are immortals flying in the clouds and mist in that place. When I was a child, I wanted to become their apprentice, but I couldn’t find them at all…”

The woman seemed to be very talkative. It might be her first time seeing an immortal cultivator, and Xiao Qi didn’t act superior, so she kept talking to Xiao Qi.

“First of all, I’m not an immortal yet. Also, I… well, I’m from the Chixia Sect. This time I received a mission from the sect to come and investigate.”

Xiao Qi nodded and accepted her identity. She remembered that the Chixia Sect was a small sect near the village, but they seemed unable to deal with the demon cultivators here. In addition, the Chixia Sect happened to be near the Zhanyue Sect, so the mission to defeat the demon cultivators would appear in the mission hall of the Zhanyue Sect.

“Okay, Fairy.”

Xiao Qi: “…”

Forget it, she was a little tired and didn’t want to correct the other party’s address anymore.

“By the way, fairy, the mountain in the south is more difficult to walk. Do you need me to find someone to help lead the way?”

“No.” Xiao Qi shook her head. “If it is really the demon you mentioned, then the mountain in the south will be very dangerous, and I may not be able to save his life.”

“Okay, then take care, fairy.”

Xiao Qi watched the woman leave. She felt that this woman was very suspicious, but it was not necessarily a disguise of a demon cultivator. Instead, it was possible that the demon cultivator took advantage of the woman’s “talkative” characteristics and deliberately revealed some information to the woman inadvertently, thereby leading the cultivators who came to investigate into a trap. This is also a common trick used by demon cultivators.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to go to the mountain in the south first. She was not afraid that the South Mountain was a trap, but she was afraid that the demon cultivator would see something and run away directly.

South Mountain.

“Nothing?”

Xiao Qi frowned slightly. Could it be that the demon cultivator had already escaped? Was her disguise still not working?

At this moment, she suddenly smelled a rotten odor. She looked around quickly and found a pit covered by hay behind a tree. There were several corpses lying in the pit, and it seemed that they had been rotting for many days.

‘This method is a bit too rough, and it doesn’t seem to be done by a demon cultivator. ’

Just as she was observing the pit, she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind her.

She quickly turned around and drew her sword, only to see a pale right hand attacking her.

But the long sword cut through the hand directly, as if the hand in front of her was just a phantom.

“No!”

Xiao Qi suddenly reacted, and she quickly retreated and barely avoided the attacking right hand. The attacking right hand was empty and only scratched the bamboo hat on her head.

A few strands of white hair fell from the gap in the bamboo hat, and she stared at the woman in front of her—this person was the woman who provided clues in the village before.

At this time, the woman was looking at her with a smile, and her expression was completely different from before. Even though they looked exactly the same, they gave people a completely different feeling.

Xiao Qi really didn’t expect that the demon cultivator would be so bold. Not only did he hide in the village in disguise, but he also showed up in front of her and told her the “clue”.

It is estimated that the other party took advantage of the fact that the demon cultivators were not so stupid, so the woman should not be a demon cultivator. In addition, she rarely went out to practice and had a little lack of experience, so she fell into her trap.

But this was exactly what she wanted. As long as the demon cultivator came out, everything would be fine.

So she didn’t say anything and rushed forward with the sword.

But the woman didn’t dodge, but closed her eyes. Then she opened her eyes with confusion in her eyes, and when she saw the stabbing sword, she screamed in panic: “Ah!!!”

“Witch, how dare you hurt people in broad daylight!”

Suddenly, a sword flashed, and Xiao Qi’s sword stopped in front of the woman, and at this time a man was standing in front of the woman, using the sword in his hand to block her sword.

“Immortal, save me!”

The woman who had just escaped from the hands of death came to her senses in fear, and immediately grabbed the man beside her in panic.

“Don’t be afraid, she can’t hurt you at all with me here.”

The man smiled at the woman, then he put away his smile and looked at Xiao Qi in front of him, and the white hair hanging down from the broken place of the hat, his eyes narrowed slightly:

“Witch, are you the one who is wantonly killing living beings here?”

“I’m not a witch, I’m a disciple of Zhan Yue Sect, the one next to you is a demon cultivator.” Xiao Qi frowned slightly, she hated the name of a witch.

“Hehe, do you think I’m blind? How can she be a demon cultivator?” The man looked at the trembling woman holding him, and suddenly chuckled, “What’s more, you said you were a disciple of Zhan Yue Sect, and I said I was still the senior brother of Zhan Yue Sect!”

Xiao Qi looked at the panicked woman, frowning even deeper, she found that she couldn’t see the flaws of the other party, the other party looked like a completely ordinary person.
