Chapter 142: Chapter 142: From Dutiful Senior Sister to Demon Cultivator 16

The speed of the black-robed demon cultivator was very fast, but not as fast as Ying Zhefeng. He would never allow the black-robed demon cultivator to rush to Ah Chen right under his nose.

Only to see him turn his figure, followed by a flash of sword light, the black-robed cultivator’s body paused halfway up the slope, in the motion of leaping upward. Then his body shattered to pieces, and the scene was rather unsightly.

Ying Zhefeng raised his head to look at Ah Chen, wanting to see if she was alright.

He heard her say, “I knew he couldn’t get past here.”

“You cannot let him get through.”

He gripped the sword hilt tightly and continued dealing with those wicked demon cultivators, faster than before.

Soon, all the evil demon cultivators were dealt with, and the remaining cultivators and mortals inside were saved.

Ying Zhefeng handed them restorative medicine, then walked towards Ah Chen’s location, naturally holding her hand as they left.

Those survivors behind them watched the two leave hand in hand, not recovering for a long time, their hearts filled with complexity.

Previously, due to the words of the black-robed cultivator, they knew the woman was a demon cultivator, and from the actions of the two, everyone understood what was going on.

“Since Ying Jianjun has acknowledged her, she must not be bad.”

“I think so too.”

“And her attitude towards the black-robed cultivator earlier proved they weren’t on the same side.”

The news quickly spread, and the people in the Cultivation World felt complicated, with all sorts of discussions.

“Both are demon cultivators, but Yun Chen is really heartless to be able to watch Ying Jianjun kill so many demon cultivators.” said one cultivator, “Now the righteous cultivators can’t accept her, and the demon cultivators probably can’t accept her either.”

Another cultivator spoke, “You seem to have a bit of a problem.”

“Hey, why are you insulting people?”

“I’m insulting you!”

Two cultivators disagreed, arguing and even fighting, leaving the bystanders speechless.

“Speaking of which, although Ying Jianjun is entangled with Yun Chen, he hasn’t forgotten his responsibility and continues killing those evil demon cultivators. It seems he hasn’t been too deeply bewitched.”

“Isn’t it possible that Yun Chen was bewitched by Ying Jianjun? After all, she can watch her fellow demon cultivators be killed.”

“You all are gossiping here, yet I don’t see you going to kill demon cultivators. I don’t like hearing this talk. Since when has slaying demon cultivators become Ying Jianjun’s responsibility? Really, I think you all have some problem.” It was one of the cultivators who had been fighting earlier, still with a bruised face.

While everyone was busy gossiping, Ying Zhefeng took Ah Chen to another place, slaying any evil demon cultivators they encountered. Ah Chen always watched from the side without making a move. When he was done handling things, she followed him to other places.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and what the two of them were doing, no matter where they were, was the subject of discussion among those cultivators.

No matter what they said, nothing affected the two of them.

“I need to cultivate for a while,” Ah Chen suddenly spoke, “so I won’t be accompanying you next.”

The Lingxiao Secret Realm will open in a year, and she also needs to prepare.

The commissioner died early and had little memory, not knowing if there would be any changes when the Lingxiao Secret Realm opens. Whether or not, she has to be prepared.

“Then I’ll keep you company while you cultivate,” Ying Zhefeng said, used to her being by his side. It was difficult for him to be willing to go out alone now.

Ah Chen laughed, her eyes curving, as she squeezed his hand and asked, “Are you reluctant to part with me?”

Ying Zhefeng’s whole body warmed up instantly. She always loved saying such straightforward things. But since it was just the two of them here, she could say whatever she liked.

He nodded in response, “Yes.”

He wanted to always be by her side.

“But I practice a demon technique, and it’s not a pretty sight. Do you really want to stay with me while I cultivate?” Ah Chen asked.

Ying Zhefeng still nodded, “Yes.”

“Alright then.”

Ah Chen herself didn’t mind, just worried that when he got scared, he insisted on staying, so let him stay.

Ah Chen intended to find a secluded place, and Ying Zhefeng suggested going to his cave abode, to which she naturally did not refuse.

Ying Zhefeng’s cave abode was simple, with nothing inside.

Before, he didn’t think much of it; now he suddenly felt he should redecorate the place, make it look nicer, get some things that girls like.

Ah Chen sat cross-legged and said to him, “You can only watch, no matter what you see, you can’t touch me!”

“Mm.” Ying Zhefeng nodded.

He knew that all demon techniques had flaws, which was the price of falling into demonhood. Demon cultivators who had died at his hands were countless, many of whom couldn’t retain their original forms due to practicing demon techniques. Like the black-robed demon cultivator before, their skin was forged away.

Some had their flesh and blood gone, leaving only a heart.

She seemed alright; her demon technique must be different from theirs.

Those evil demon cultivators’ demon techniques must have been flawed. Even if they didn’t devour cultivators, they probably couldn’t take the path of Immortal Cultivation.

At this moment, Ah Chen had already entered a state of cultivation. Like her previous training, her skin gradually cracked open, blood flowing freely, and she turned into a bloody mess in the blink of an eye.

If her aura weren’t stable, Ying Zhefeng would’ve rushed over to check whether she was in danger.

He clenched his fist, filled with frustration towards the Lingxiao Sect for the first time.

If it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t have to suffer this pain.

Clearly, it was the evil demon cultivators who harmed her, but the Lingxiao Sect couldn’t tolerate her. To give an explanation, they not only didn’t help her, but imprisoned her and abolished her dantian, forcing her to turn into a demon cultivator.

There was no pain between her brows, could it be that she was numb from the pain?

Ying Zhefeng didn’t step forward, just sat silently beside her, watching.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

Ah Chen opened her eyes and saw the person sitting beside her, his eyes a bit red. She smiled and said, “I didn’t want you to see, but you insisted on staying here. Next time I cultivate, you should go out and tend to your own business.”

“No.” He immediately refused.

He wanted to watch over her here.

Seeing that she indeed withdrew from cultivation, he could no longer hold back and hugged her: “Let me avenge you.”

“And take out their dantians.”

While she was cultivating, he wanted countless times to turn around and go to the Lingxiao Sect, to remove the dantians of those who bullied her, see what they would say then.

Ah Chen quickly cast a Cleaning Technique on herself, feeling much more at ease.

She hugged him back: “If people outside heard what you said, they would definitely say that Ying Jianjun has indeed fallen into demonhood.”

“So what if I fall into demonhood?”

“I was never truly a paragon of virtue; they just liked to say that.”

Ah Chen said, “It’s time to go visit the Lingxiao Sect.”

She had a special intuition that the demon cultivator would strike when the Lingxiao Secret Realm opens.

Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng had been out of touch for a year, yet cultivators occasionally discussed them. However, everyone was now more excited about the Lingxiao Secret Realm.

“It’s good to be in a big sect; the quotas are more plentiful. In small sects like ours, it’s uncertain if we could even get a quota, we have to fight for it.”

“At least you small sects can fight for it. We loose cultivators don’t even have the chance to fight for it.”

Zou Yi was very pleased with several disciples under him because, through the struggle for quotas, several disciples had secured slots.

“The secret realm is extremely dangerous. During this time, I will refine some elixirs for you as your teacher.”

Speaking of this, Zou Yi felt uncomfortable, finding it hard not to think of the spiritual medicines Yun Chen cultivated, which were indeed very different from others.

Not only Zou Yi but others also noticed it, although no one said much.

Three days before the Lingxiao Secret Realm opened, the sect disciples who had obtained quotas were brought to the Lingxiao Sect by strong members of the sect.
