For turies, the Demon Suppression Tower has held tless demons at bay. Ohese vicious creatures escape, all they desire is to kill aroy!
Fmes ed the wood, and the cultivators screamed in agony.
Lin Hao was inally flying on his sword, but he calcuted that being airborne made him an easy target. So, he decided to nd and reassess the situation.
"Fresh meat, your blood must be delicious."
As soon as he touched the ground, a disheveled demon cultivator with ragged clothes spotted Lin Hao, drooling incessantly.
"It's been ages siasted a cultivator's blood. Let me see if the blood of a righteous disciple is still as sweet!"
With that, the demon cultivator lu Lin Hao, unleashing hundreds of golden streaks of light.
Metal Element Dao Teique, Golden Needle Rain!
Lin Hao quickly summoned a defealisman, sneering, "Demon, watch me sy you today!"
It was the perfect opportunity to test the power of his newly mastered Starburst teique!
Boom!
A mass of fire, the size of a small mountain, formed in front of him, rapidly pressing into the size of a peach pit.
"Go!"
The fiery peach pit shot towards the demon cultivator like a meteor!
Sizzle!
The demon cultivator had no defealismans ical treasures and could only rely on his physical body to withstand the attack.
Bang, boom!
The fiery peach pit struck the demon cultivator, exploding with a deafening roar, ing him like vines.
The fmes infused with spiritual energy roasted the demon cultivator, elig tinuous screams!
Zing!
Lin Hao drew the magical swifted by Master Feng from his sword case, swiftly closing in on the demon cultivator like lightning.
Ssh!
A rge head flew into the air!
The headless body of the demon cultivator fell heavily to the ground!
Lin Hao exhaled lightly. This demon cultivator's cultivation wasn't weak, likely at the early Foundatioablishment stage, but being imprisoned iower for so long had left him extremely weak, allowing Lin Hao to kill him in just two moves.
He suddenly remembered the rumors that the Demon Suppression Tower sealed several great demon lords with sky-reag cultivation!
If they escaped, they could turn the Xuan Yi upside down.
He o find his Senior Sister quickly. She hadn't reached Foundatioablishme and couldn't withstand even a weakened demon cultivator!
Lin Hao assisted his fellow disciples in their skirmishes with the demon cultivators, stepping in to help those at a disadvantage, but he didn't linger in battle, worried about his Senior Sister's safety.
However, he hadn't unicated with her retly and didn't know her whereabouts. Searg blindly might lead him into a trap set by the demon cultivators.
Could she have left the sect?
A thought fshed through Lin Hao's mind, prompting him to rush towards the mountain gate. Yet, the closer he got, the fiercer the battle became.
Along the way, many disciples y in pools of blood, their bodies covered in bite marks, clearly drained by demon cultivators!
Seeing his fallen rades, Lin Hao felt a pang of sorrow, quiing his pace, hoping nothing had happened.
As he he mountain gate, the number of bodies in Xuan Yi's white robes increased, until a spsh of pale yellow caught Lin Hao's eye.
His heart trembled—could it be that little girl?
He dashed towards the pale yellow like an arrow, his firembling as he picked up a piece of fabric.
It was indeed Xiang Xiaoyuan's clothing, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. Sing the area, he spotted an even rger patch of pale yellow!
He hurried over, pulling the pale yellow from a pile of white.
"Junior Sister!"
Lin Hao pced his fingers uhe female cultivator's nose, feeling no breath.
This pure and i girl, who saw demon cultivators as enemies, had no intact ski, her limbs broken...
Damn demon cultivators!
Lin Hao's eyes, cold as stars, erupted with icy killing i. Filled with rage, he sshed a demon cultivator approag him, cutting it in half.
Demon blood rained down, soaking his blue robe.
He gently id the girl's body down, removing his outer robe to cover her.
"Junior Sister, watch me sy the demons!"
But before he could act, a familiar figure appeared.
"Senior Sister..."
Lin Hao was in disbelief. Li Qiushui ahree so-called maids were with the demon cultivators!
Senior Sister must be coerced!
But in the moment, Senior Sister ruthlessly attacked her fellow disciples, shattering all of Lin Hao's illusions.
After killing a Qi Refining cultivator, Li Qiushui seemed to sense someog her. She turned, log eyes with Lin Hao.
In this gaze, her eyes, once like clear water, held no affe.
"Why?" Lin Hao asked, approag the woman with his sword.
He desperately hoped Senior Sister was coerced so he could save her with his sword.
But clearly, Senior Sister was with the demon path.
"Why betray the sed join the demon cultivators!?"
Li Qiushui g him softly, then her eyes filled with determination.
She said calmly, "Because I was a demon all along. You're just too foolish to notice!"
"Impossible!" Lin Hao raised his voice, staring ily at her.
"Cui Qing'er oold me you were a demon, but I didn't believe her!"
"Oh, really?" Li Qiushui's face showed a hint of mockery, coldly saying, "You believed I wasn't a demon, so why did you make me take Immortal Spirit Powder?"
"You clearly didn't trust me, Lin Hao. You deceive others, but don't deceive yourself."
"And your drugging skills are too clumsy. You should practice more, or you'll suffer for it."
"Here, take back your identity token."
Whoosh!
Lin Hao caught the flying light, realizing it was his identity token.
Retly, he had been focused on studying talismans, not using his token, leaving it to gather dust in his cave dwelling. Who would've thought it would end up in Li Qiushui's hands?
This woman used my identity token to ehe Demon Suppression Tower and release the demon cultivators!
He uood the e, no wonder she had been leaving early aurning te, g to prepare Foundatioablishment materials, when she was actually plotting to release the demon cultivators!
Perhaps, from the beginning, her approach was with ill i.
Or maybe he was just a pawn she casually pced, now serving its purpose.
What a scheming woman!
