The Sword Spirit Has a Clever Plan

[A sword spirit who became an immortal evil spirit, and her loyal lackey]

Cui Yi owns a sword with an ordinary name, but it is invincible.

But she isn't a swordswoman.

She's a sword spirit haunted by baleful energy.

After becoming an immortal, Cui Yi killed the Divine Lord's son despite being a level below him.

To escape back to the mortal realm and avoid trouble, she promised to save the chosen one, tricking the gates of heaven into opening.

Cui Yi thinks everything is going smoothly,

except for one small problem:

After descending to the mortal world, she didn't recognize the chosen one.

Instead, she rescued his sworn enemy.

:)

The immortal summoned by his junior fellow disciple has mistaken someone else for him!

Taking advantage of the immortal's face blindness, Xie San, who is on the verge of death, clings desperately to this lifeline.

But as they travel together, he is horrified to discover that

this respected immortal

is actually a sinister, ghostly evil spirit.

Cui Yi is supposed to save the chosen one, who is willing to sacrifice himself to prove the Dao.

She makes a mistake and saves a heinous criminal instead.

Xie San hopes to gain supreme power by relying on an immortal.

He fails, and ends up following a useless evil immortal.

On the run,

Xie San runs so fast his feet practically catch fire, gritting his teeth.

Cui Yi tumbles along, indignant.

"Aren't you an immortal? Why are you completely useless?!"

"Damn you, self-righteous hypocrite! The people lining up to butcher you next are your enemies!"

From false civility, to tearing off their masks, to trying to kill each other for real.

Xie San never imagined that one day he would face Cui Yi, her face smeared with blood, and be unable to look her in the eye.

His heart pounded with turmoil; love and hate were impossible to suppress.

*Evil people always find someone worse to deal with them

*Evil spirit x criminal

*An ensemble story spanning the land

*In short, a lighthearted tale about a protagonist who returns to the mortal world after becoming an immortal to resolve lingering obsessions

P.S.:

A garbage-picking female lead, gradually recovering her own power as she goes along, picking it up piece by piece like trash.

None of the characters are perfectly virtuous.
