Celestial Demon Starting from Attribute Points

Chapter 84: Chapter 74: The Yu Sect Saintess Worships the Evil God, Skull Flower in the Remote Mountain

In the mountain villa.

With a "clatter," the skeletal frame fell to the ground, as eerie as it could be.

Both Cao Wen and Jin Jingsong were scared out of their wits.

And those enchanting courtesans who were dancing gracefully also screamed in terror.

"A ghost!"

"Ah, a ghost!"

The crowd didn’t dare to stay inside the house any longer, and in fright, they all scrambled to run outside.

Li Xuan followed the crowd and stood in the small courtyard, looking at the brightly lit banquet hall, and in the hall, the beautiful courtesans turning into white bones was naturally a horrifying and chilling sight.

However, he did not sense any Demonic Qi.

This indicated that the demon was not nearby, and the White Bone Demon could likely be a similar existence to the "Tiger Demon New Year Ghost."

Let’s call it a demon servant for now.

’Could it be another Spiritual System demon?’

Li Xuan thought to himself, feeling that this was very likely.

But why were all the demons he encountered recently from the Spiritual System?

As this question arose, he quickly came to a conclusion on his own.

In the current world, it seems that only Spiritual System demons can survive better.

Simply put, there are many demon servants, and they are unpredictable.

Like the "Mist Veil Phantom Leopard," a leopard demon that comes and goes openly, it was taken down directly by a few hundred ordinary county soldiers.

If you claim that demons like the "Tiger Demon New Year" or "Aberrant Monster Monkey" are powerful fighters, that’s not necessarily true; they might not even beat the "Mist Veil Phantom Leopard" in a single match.

Yet they happen to have many demon servants and bizarre methods, hence they can control a city with just one demon.

...

As Li Xuan was thinking, Cao Wen and Jin Jingsong were already exclaiming, "Hurry up and leave, it’s not safe to stay here!"

The courtesans also hastily exposed their hands to prove their innocence, showing that they were not demons, while each had a look of fear, huddling together, and screaming suspiciously.

Li Xuan saw them about to run and quickly said, "It’s the dead of night, the mountain path is eerie, who knows what you’ll encounter if you run out!"

A courtesan cried, "Young Master, we really don’t know how the demon got in. We... we should grab a lantern and run."

Li Xuan glanced around, he had the demonic blood of the "Aberrant Monster Monkey" residing in him, yet he still didn’t sense Demonic Qi; logically, if they ran out, they were more likely to encounter the demon, but that would also mean stepping into someone else’s trap, which was very passive.

He disliked being passive.

So he said, "Holding a red lantern on a pitch-dark mountain path? Are you afraid the demon won’t see where you are?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Wen felt goosebumps rising all over again, thinking it made sense, he quickly chimed in persuading, "Brother Jin, it’s indeed not wise to venture out now. Why don’t we all stay together, make it through the night, and wait until daylight?"

Jin Jingsong was extremely nervous, his eyes still showing fear, he glanced at the dim mountain path outside the doorway and ultimately dared not go out, saying, "Then... then let’s quickly get our weapons, and leave as soon as morning comes, then report to the authorities."

Cao Wen pointed at the courtesans and said, "You all stay here, we’ll get the weapons and come back."

The courtesans, terrified to the extreme, could only say, "Let’s go with the young masters."

Jin Jingsong said, "Alright, let’s go together."

The group hurried along, calling out to the servants they encountered on the way.

Li Xuan’s little maid, Rose, was also awake, hearing the call, she grabbed Li Xuan’s Sparrow Feather Sword and ran out. Upon hearing about encountering the White Bone Demon, she turned pale with fear and squeezed closer to Li Xuan, repeatedly saying, "With the young master here, Rose is not afraid, not afraid."

The shadows of trees swayed, making rustling sounds.

Behind the tangled branches, it seemed as if ghosts were hiding.

In Jin Jingsong’s villa, including the courtesans, there were nineteen people in total, now gathering outside an artificial hill built with strange stones.

Fortunately, it was late June, so although it was cold, it wasn’t to the extent of freezing people to death.

The crowd huddled together, trembling with fear.

There were no watchmen in the mountain, so everyone felt tormented, not knowing how much time had passed.

Jin Jingsong ordered the servants to fetch a timing incense burner from the house. After lighting it outside, everyone watched the slowly descending incense ash, and only then did they feel a bit of inexplicable reassurance with the passage of time.

An hour had passed with the incense ash falling, and everyone was drowsy.

Just then, a sudden urgent knock on the door sounded from outside, "thud-thud-thud," as if pounding on their hearts.

Jin Jingsong was startled, completely awake, and urgently ordered the servants to check at the door.

The servant had no choice but to muster up the courage and head to the front courtyard. As he got closer, he smelled a strange, fishy stench. Then, peeking through the crack in the door, he was so frightened that he fell on his backside, crawling backward repeatedly, then turned and stumbled to the ground before returning, fearfully shouting, "White bone banging the door, white bone banging the door! A demon, a demon!"

Jin Jingsong was both furious and afraid, yelling, "Hold the door, hold the door!"

But even though he was the son of the Jin Mansion, no servant dared to go at this moment.

Jin Jingsong, helpless, complained, "We should have gone down the mountain from the start, and now it’s bad, the White Bone Demon is banging on the door, we can’t even run, what to do? What to do?!"

This complaint was directed at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan, initially sitting cross-legged to regulate his energy, slowly opened his eyes upon hearing the complaint, and said, "I’ll go take a look."

With that, he stood up with his sword, leading Rose toward the villa’s courtyard gate.

He had already wanted to see what was going on, and now found a suitable chance.

Thud-thud-thud!

Thud-thud-thud!

The sound at the courtyard gate was like thunder.

The door bolt kept thrusting inward, yet it still held firm.

And with each open-close, Li Xuan could clearly see the white skeletal silhouette striking the door outside.
