The Unruly Immortals

Li Sui sat dejectedly on the belly of the dead horse, her head buried and lips pursed, lost in thought. Around her lay the bodies of bandits, their death agonizing and wretched.

At this moment, Chen Bin and his performing disciples stood silently by, too terrified to even think about escaping, let alone move.

He miscalculated; the bandits were no match for this thing! They couldn't even harm a single hair on her body. This thing had become a spirit!

After venting her frustration, Li Sui turned around and bent down to search the bandits' waists for money, collecting it.

"Great... Great Immortal! We'll help you, we'll help you!" After witnessing the divine skills of this thing, Chen Bin had completely surrendered, harboring no thoughts of resistance.

"Thank you."

"Not at all, not at all." Chen Bin waved his hands in fear, now only hoping that he and his disciples could be of use, so as not to be swallowed alive by this thing.

"Master... Master, this girl might not be an evil spirit; why would an evil spirit need silver?"

Hearing this, everyone instinctively looked at Li Sui again, and just then, Li Sui lifted her skirt, revealing several black tentacles entwined with fur emerging from beneath.

Seeing this scene, everyone turned pale and buried themselves searching among the corpses, not daring to think any further.

After a half incense stick of time, Chen Bin timidly offered some pieces of silver and copper coins to Li Sui, forcing a flattering smile on his wrinkled face. "Great Immortal, this is really all we have; we would never dare to take even a patterned money. You know, these bandits came to rob money, there's no way they'd carry much silver on them."

Li Sui pushed the silver towards Chen Bin, frowning earnestly, "Take me to Youdu! I want to go to Youdu!"

Chen Bin dared not refuse, nodding repeatedly, "Alright! To Youdu, we'll go to Youdu! We'll go right away!"

Following Li Sui's command, everyone moved immediately, driving the carriage heading towards Youdu.

They hastened along the way, covering a ten-day journey in just seven days, all just to rid themselves of this Great Immortal a day sooner.

"Great Immortal, look, we've arrived at Youdu." Chen Bin, his lips pale, reached out a trembling hand, pointing at the bustling city gates.

Seeing the familiar city gates, Li Sui's spirit, which had been low all the way, finally lifted, "Wonderful! I can finally see my father!"

She had endured much grievance on this journey; once she saw her parents, she needed to pour her heart out well.

"Right! I need to find the Emperor of Da Qi, my father still needs dragon qi!" said Li Sui, and immediately ran inside.

Youdu was vast and bustling, with shops lining the streets selling all sorts of goods. But Li Sui paid no attention to any of this, charging straight towards the center of Youdu's Imperial City.

However, before she could approach the Imperial City, a group of people barred her way. Their clothing varied, but all bore the same waist badge— the badge of the Astrological Bureau, one Li Sui had played with when she was young.

As Li Sui turned her head, she saw another group approaching from behind, surrounding her.

One burly man from the military stepped forward, a loud "spat~ spew" sounded as a glob of phlegm was spat at Li Sui's feet. "You've got guts, coming to Youdu in broad daylight, thinking we're just decorations?"

Clearly, Li Sui had been marked the moment she entered Youdu.

Li Sui looked at them, hastily explaining, "Don't stop me, I really have urgent matters, is Xuan Pin here? I need to see Xuan Pin."

"What Xuan Pin or no Xuan Pin, I don't know them!"

Hearing this, Li Sui was momentarily stunned; Xuan Pin was their Heavenly Observatory, how could they not know him?

But she quickly realized, Xuan Pin was from Da Liang's Astrological Bureau, while this was Da Qi, so it made sense they didn't know him.

"Sorry, I misspoke, let me rephrase, is your Astronomical Bureau here? I have important matters for him, about the Dharma Sect, my dad is helping you guys deal with the Dharma Sect."

But this time, these people were entirely unwilling to listen to Li Sui's explanation, their magic artifacts and weapons already crashing towards her.

"What are you doing! I don't want to fight you! I'm on your side!" Li Sui hurriedly dodged, still outnumbered, a silver vajra dashed towards her at lightning speed, instantly piercing through her left arm.

"You're all bullying me!" At Li Sui's cry, her human skin split open, the bloody dog head emerging from beneath her skirt, tentacles flying from her clothes into the air.

"Don't kill her! Spare her life! Find out what spy she is, whose side she's on!!"

"Understood!" At these words, the surrounding Astrological Bureau individuals answered, closing in on Li Sui from all directions.

A blindfolded nun first lunged at Li Sui, her whisk sweeping like a steel hook, severing three of Li Sui's tentacles, the stumps immediately spurting blood.

Yet this was merely the beginning; a dripping black ink line was quickly drawn into a wide net by two men in short attire, casting it over Li Sui.

Li Sui didn't want to sit and wait for death, her seven or eight tentacles immediately reached for ginger yellow paper to draw talismans, but with a gesture from a flower-faced taoist in the distance, all her ginger yellow paper spontaneously combusted, burning to ash in an instant.

Without ginger yellow paper, Li Sui couldn't use any talismans. But now, relying on her flesh alone in combat, she was no match for the military, and the situation quickly became perilous.

Li Sui's predicament was naturally noticed by some keen individuals in the surrounding Astrological Bureau, and the encirclement quickly tightened, aiming to completely eliminate Li Sui.

Swish swish swish, Li Sui's tentacles were swiftly severed, the detached tentacles writhing on the ground.

The pain coursing through her body brought tears to Li Sui's eyes, but even if she cried herself dry, these people showed no sign of stopping.

Once they saw she had no tentacles left, the military advanced immediately, forming a Flying Dragon Formation and charging at her.

The Mo Blades, shrouded in evil qi, pierced Li Sui's heart with a stabbing pain even from several feet away.

Seeing the blades like a wall about to crash into her, Li Sui shouted desperately at them, "Get away from me! I want to go home!"

The next moment, something entirely unexpected occurred; the military's Flying Dragon Formation seemed to hit an invisible barrier, the formation shattered instantly, and the men were flung away.

It should be known that these military men were the Imperial City's Imperial Army, yet their Flying Dragon Formation was effortlessly broken.

"Be careful, this demon still has tricks up its sleeve, stay on guard!"
