46: The eldest daughter was doted on and promoted to the position of lamplighter.

The Blood Shadow First Daughter in the sedan chair softened her voice considerably when facing Li Yan.

"Come closer, let this Young Miss have a look."

"How old are you?"

Li Yan, being highly skilled and courageous, was surrounded by Shadow Demons, a group of ghosts and specters.

But he remained calm and composed, blending right in with them.

Controlling his shadow, he spoke through it: "Replying to Eldest Daughter, I am in my early twenties..."

The Eldest Daughter in the sedan chair was amused, laughing heartily, swaying back and forth.

"Silly boy, this Young Miss isn't asking about your main body's age, but when you awakened."

"Oh, I just awakened yesterday."

Seeing Li Yan's harmless, cute appearance, the Blood Shadow First Daughter didn't have any suspicions about him.

Li Yan looked foolish, but in reality, he was imitating a newly awakened Shadow Demon.

Generally, newly awakened Shadow Demons are not very intelligent.

If he acted too experienced, it would instead arouse the suspicion of these evil spirits.

The next moment.

A dark shadow appeared beneath the sedan chair; the Eldest Daughter's shadow reached out a hand and gently stroked Li Yan's face.

"You're quite handsome. Your main body, so young, already has the strength of Ban Xue Realm Sixth Rank. I've found a treasure."

"Not bad, you will certainly achieve great things in the future. From now on, you will stay by my side."

"This Young Miss appoints you as... a Lamplighter."

This!?

Li Yan only wanted to lie low among these evil spirits, but unexpectedly, they took a liking to him and even gave him a position?!

As for the Ranks among these Shadow Demons, they are relatively easy to distinguish.

From the lowest Rank of Lamp Shadow, Ti Deng Troop, Lamp Keeper, then above that is Lamplighter, and after that is Si Deng Elder.

Li Yan, at such a young age, was appointed a Lamplighter, directly skipping three Ranks!

Even Moon Shadow Taoist was only a Lamplighter, but Li Yan was now on equal footing with Moon Shadow Taoist.

This made Si Deng Elder next to him exclaim: "Eldest Daughter, you can't do that!"

"This child just awakened less than two days ago, how can you appoint him as a Lamplighter?"

The woman in the sedan chair's lips curved upwards.

"Si Deng Elder, did this Young Miss make a mistake in her appointment?"

"At his age, he already has the cultivation of Ban Xue Realm Sixth Rank. In the future, he will surely be the left and right arm of the Venerable, his status even higher than yours."

It was clear that the Eldest Daughter truly cherished talent.

She felt that Li Yan's Aptitude was good and that he would surely achieve great things in the future.

The Eldest Daughter in the sedan chair asked, "Do you have any objections to being appointed a Lamplighter?"

Li Yan continued to feign ignorance: "Appointed by Eldest Daughter herself, I dare not have any objections."

"Ha! This new Shadow Demon looks foolish, but he's not stupid after all."

"Now is the time to employ people. If you do well, the Venerable will not mistreat capable Shadow Demons."

The Eldest Daughter in the sedan chair was very satisfied.

She felt that her luck was good today; just as she was about to go on a long journey, she gained a promising newcomer.

Such a young Shadow Demon must be kept by her side and carefully cultivated.

"By the way, what is your name?"

"Replying to Young Miss, I am Li Fei Yu."

At this point, Li Yan played a trick.

He had read many novels before, so he naturally understood one thing.

Killing and arson, Li Fei Yu; universally revered, Han Tianzun.

Doing bad deeds without leaving a name is a basic quality every Fellow Daoist should possess.

The Eldest Daughter in the sedan chair murmured, "Li Fei Yu? Hmm, this Young Miss remembers it."

"When we arrive at Broken Sword Valley later, remember to stay close behind this Young Miss. This Young Miss will protect your safety."

The Eldest Daughter treated Li Yan as a newly born evil spirit, doting on him in every way.

Such treatment made Si Deng Elder feel jealous.

"Boy, why aren't you thanking Eldest Daughter!"

"Thank you, Eldest Daughter."

Li Yan's expression was blank on the surface, but he was secretly laughing.

He could come and go freely in Broken Sword Valley and didn't need anyone to escort him at all.

The treasures in Broken Sword Valley had almost all been emptied by him, and the blood glass treasure lotus lantern was still in his hand.

They were probably going to be disappointed when they went to Broken Sword Valley.

At this moment, Si Deng Elder raised the lamp in his hand: "Lift the sedan, head to Broken Sword Valley!"

As the Elder gave the command, Li Yan felt a lightness under his feet, and he was lifted up.

He just blended in with this group of evil spirit Shadow Demons and flew towards Broken Sword Valley.

A moment later, the group landed outside the mist gate of Broken Sword Valley.

Seeing that the mist gate was still there, Si Deng Elder breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems we're not too late?"

Just then, several figures emerged from the mist gate.

Those figures were somewhat familiar; they were Cultivators from Jingxu Sect!

Mystic Fiend Senior Martial Uncle, Great Master Ming Shan, and the others.

Clearly, they were still searching for treasures within Broken Sword Valley.

When he saw them again, Li Yan secretly sighed that things were not good.

When they walked out, they also looked at Li Yan immediately.

This made Xuan Sha raise an eyebrow, muttering: "This kid, he actually dares to come back?"

Great Master Ming Shan and Second Apprentice-sister Ming Yue, on the other hand, saw the emblem on the sedan chair.

"It's the emblem of Mi Mountain City?"

"How is it that after only one day, Li Yan has joined the people of Mi Mountain City?"

"This kid... has some skill."

Great Master and Second Apprentice-sister were also whispering to each other privately.

Mystic Fiend Senior Martial Uncle also noticed at this time that the group of people in front of him were actually from Mi Mountain City.

Mystic Fiend Senior Martial Uncle, who was fierce and menacing a second ago, immediately bowed his head submissively the next second.

"Xuan Sha, a disciple under Quiet Void Taoist, greets all sirs!"

"All sirs, this is..."

As he spoke, Xuan Sha kept staring at Li Yan.

At this moment, the Eldest Daughter in the sedan chair asked, "Why are they staring at you?"

The situation had become delicate.

If Li Yan said half a wrong word, he would immediately fall into an irreversible situation.

If he was recognized and spilled the beans, that would be bad!

Facing this situation, Li Yan leaned towards the sedan chair window and, with a cold face, pointed at Mystic Fiend Senior Martial Uncle.

"I remember, when I first gained consciousness, this Taoist seemed to have chased me, wanting to take my main body for Alchemy."

Although the words were false, the principle was the same.

Yesterday, Mystic Fiend Senior Martial Uncle indeed wanted Li Yan's life.

The Eldest Daughter in the sedan chair said dotingly, "Then kill them all and turn them into Shadow Puppets."

As soon as her voice fell.

Countless black shadow ghost hands emerged from deep beneath the sedan chair, spreading forward and directly binding Xuan Sha.

Xuan Sha looked down and saw countless black hands emerging from the black shadow on the ground, scaring him pale.

"What kind of evil art is this?"

"Aren't you people from Mi Mountain City? How can you use such evil..."

Before Xuan Sha could finish speaking, countless black hands had already covered his mouth.

Xuan Sha whimpered, unable to move, terrified.

He hadn't expected that he, a Cultivator at the Peak of Ban Xue Realm, would be instantly bound and gagged by the other party.

Great Master Ming Shan and Second Apprentice-sister Ming Yue also retreated in fear, but they were already surrounded by shadows.

"Our... our Grandmaster is Quiet Void Taoist, do you dare to harm us? Aren't you afraid our Grandmaster will come looking for trouble?"

The Venerable Eldest Daughter in the sedan chair let out a series of low laughs.

"Quiet Void Taoist? Where did this commoner come from?"

"Li Fei Yu, they are yours. Go and convert them into Shadow Puppets."

Saying that, the Eldest Daughter looked at Li Yan.
