Chapter 149: Chapter 149: From Dutiful Senior Sister to Demon Cultivator 23

“Good timing!” Lin Mingxi shouted, and then centered himself, attracting everyone nearby. It was too sudden for most people to react.

Those closest found themselves unable to break free upon contact with his body.

One after another, those touched found their bodies uncontrollable and their cultivation draining away. Their faces turned pale with panic as they desperately tried to pull back, but to no avail.

Lin Mingxi’s whole body was a bloody mess. Using the secret technique came at a cost; though his cultivation was strong, the surrounding people’s cultivation was not bad either. For so many different forces to enter his body without exploding him was a testament to his skill.

Those further away were unaffected but could not think of a way to resolve the situation.

No one was willing to just leave Lin Mingxi alone, and given the current circumstances, even if they spoke of halting, Lin Mingxi would not agree.

Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng exchanged glances and picked up their weapons.

If not now to break the array, then when?

The two hesitated not a bit, each raised their weapon in their hand, and struck the array with all their might. In an instant, the array issued a loud bang, awakening many people.

Having used their power, the figures of Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng were revealed.

Everyone hurriedly looked around and saw the two raising their weapons, ready to start a second attack.

The eyes of the major sects reddened in anger, if they weren’t entangled by Lin Mingxi, they would have rushed over.

“Yun Chen, how dare you!” Yin Tianyun shouted angrily, “You even incited Ying Jianjun to do such a thing. Do you intend to be the enemy of all righteous cultivation sects in the cultivation world?”

Ah Chen glanced back with a smile, “Don’t you already see me as the greatest enemy? If there wasn’t any recourse, you’d have eradicated me long ago. These harsh words mean nothing. Dare or not dare, haven’t I already done it?”

Saying this, she and Ying Zhefeng’s second attack fell, and the array trembled, as if about to shatter at any time.

Ying Zhefeng was surprised, it seemed that after they joined forces, they wouldn’t need seven attacks; the next strike would be enough to break the array.

“Ying Jianjun, for this demoness, would you destroy the foundation of the righteous cultivation?” Zou Yi said, “You’ve always been about demon eradication, right? If the array is broken and the demon cultivators mix in, do you want to see the tragedy of years past in the cultivation world repeat itself?”

Zhu Hui also spoke, “Mr. Ying, this is really not acceptable.”

“When demon cultivators get in, where will the righteous cultivators go?” Li Qingfeng said.

Pang Xuan’s gaze was complicated and somewhat anxious, “For her, is it really worth it?”

Ying Zhefeng turned back, speaking softly, “You’ve guarded this secret realm for so many years, yet haven’t seen any achievements, nor any substantial action against the malevolent demon cultivators. Easily located malevolent demon cultivator hideouts remain undestroyed by you. You use the realm’s resources but don’t do what you’re capable of doing, yet insist on occupying it. Who is truly responsible for the cultivation world’s current state? Years ago, those seniors nearly eradicated malevolent demon cultivators. If you’d just clean up once more, then regularly purging them would prevent this situation.”

“But what have you been doing?”

“Fighting for territory, calculating entrance quotas.”

“Yes, you do kill demon cultivators, because you truly detest them. But you are indiscriminate, killing both the non-malevolent and malevolent ones. Compared to the malevolent ones, you seem to enjoy killing the peaceful demon cultivators even more.”

“Everyone who’s been around longer should know how this secret realm came about. It’s supposed to be the hope of all cultivators in the cultivation world, not any individual’s possession. Since you refuse to use it properly, it might as well be opened up. Anyone can enter; surely someone will obtain resources and choose to maintain the cultivation world’s order.”

But not him; he is impatient with such matters and not particularly righteous himself.

Yet such a person will appear.

Like those seniors back then who hunted demons unafraid of death.

The crowd was speechless. Those unaware widened their eyes, realizing that Lingxiao Secret Realm had such a story.

If that’s the case, these major sects are indeed shameless, especially Lingxiao Sect.

“Hahaha, well, well, I never thought it would turn out like this.” Covered in blood, Lin Mingxi laughed out loud, even noticing a few trying to stop Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng, he activated the secret technique again to pull them over.

Of course, with more forces absorbed, his body was on the verge of explosion.

Yet he was pleased.

After all, his goal was to break the array, and with others assisting, he would naturally cooperate.

“Though I know your aim is to let other righteous cultivators in,” Lin Mingxi looked at Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng, “but demon cultivators also have a chance, don’t they? This time, it depends on who is more capable, let the worthy ones enter.”

“Senior Sister Yun, I actually quite like you, but compared to my goals, that little affection is insignificant. I used to think if you really died at Ice Peak Cliff, then when I broke the array I’d drain all the cultivation of Lingxiao Sect who bullied you and scoop out their Dantian, as revenge for you.”

“I didn’t expect you to survive and even become a demon cultivator. If you didn’t use my Demon Pearl, I’d be quite happy. But now you want to break the array, any displeasure I felt is gone. Absorbing the cultivation of so many people today, I can replenish what I lost before.”

Lin Mingxi stared at Ah Chen with blood-red eyes, “Senior Sister Yun, now that you are also a demon cultivator, why not join me? After all that’s happened, let’s let bygones be bygones, shall we? I’ll treat you well, better than before. Clearly, demon cultivators match better together; Ying Zhefeng is not interesting.”

Ying Zhefeng was a little angry, if it weren’t for official business, he’d have swung his sword.

“That won’t be possible, I like Ying Jianjun,” Ah Chen smiled, “And as for you, I just wish to remove your Dantian and throw you to suffer at Ice Peak Cliff. You claimed to help me with revenge, but weren’t you the one who harmed me most?”

Lin Mingxi didn’t get angry, instead laughed, “The former Senior Sister Yun was very cute, the current one’s wickedly cute; I like both. Even if you don’t agree, I’ll take what I want!”

“Dream on!” Ying Zhefeng said coldly, in all these years he’d never truly gotten angry, but a few words from this man infuriated him.

Ah Chen held his hand, “Why bother with a Jiangdong Jerry? I don’t fancy things born in filth.”

“What’s Jiangdong Jerry?” Ying Zhefeng was drawn by curiosity, he’d never heard this term before.

Actually, the others were also pondering.

Ah Chen laughed and explained, “A rat!”

The crowd: “…” Although inappropriate, they really felt like laughing.

Lin Mingxi squinted, laughed again, finding this version of Senior Sister Yun more likable.

“Break the array,” Ah Chen said.

This time, those powerhouses were busy dealing with Lin Mingxi absorbing their cultivation and couldn’t spare time.

On the other side, the younger generation was unable to stop them. Against Yun Chen or Ying Zhefeng, they were no match, only watching.

“Yin Sect Master, Qianyuan Sect has arrived.”

“Wuji Sect also brought members over.”

“Nine Stars Sect is here too.”

Upon hearing the outside voices, Yin Tianyun and the major sects felt joy, shouting to let them hurry inside.

This array blocks people from leaving but doesn’t prevent entry.

The major sects, upon hearing the situation, panicked and quickly rushed in to stop, but it was too late; Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng’s third strike fell on the array.

Instantly, the array shattered.

The powerhouses of the major sects entering felt immensely dense spiritual energy and saw the array broken into starry fragments, revealing the entrance to the secret realm.

And at the entrance stood Ah Chen and Ying Zhefeng.

With official business done, Ying Zhefeng swiftly took her hand, met those angry eyes.

“Yun Chen, if I don’t kill you in this life, I swear not to be human.”

“Yun Chen, you demoness, you dare instigate Ying Jianjun to destroy the secret realm’s array.”

Listening to these messy words, Ying Zhefeng was displeased, “Don’t speak nonsense, it was me leading her to break the array. You know what’s troubling about it. Seeing you all so anxious, I’ll publish the origin of the secret realm to stop your insults.”

Such nonsense, he won’t stand for it.

Ah Chen chuckled, “The secret realm is about to run, yet you have time to scold me; hurry and chase it.”

The crowd examined closely and indeed the realm’s entrance was shifting, rushing to catch up.

“The realm doesn’t restrict cultivation, you can enter too,” Ah Chen reminded, “If you can’t catch it, why not go explore?”

They hesitated briefly, then jumped in.

Yin Tianyun watched as the major sects went in without bothering to ask about their situation, stunned.

“Yin Sect Master, every time you invite people they seem unreliable?” Ah Chen asked with a smile.

Yin Tianyun was almost spitting blood in anger.
