Chapter 88 The Demon Cult Attacks

As Ye Ling recounted, the events that transpired after Su Bai left Great Wu were revealed one by one.

“I never thought that what I did back then would cause such a huge commotion later on,” she murmured, shaking her head slightly.

She truly hadn't expected it.

At first, she merely wanted to display her strength to make it easier for Lin Feng to promote the Martial Arts she had given him.

However, human hearts are unpredictable.

Later, these people fought so fiercely that the land became desolate, and there were even those who allied with Yao Beasts.

While Ye Ling recounted the past years to Su Bai, Su Bai was continuously treating Ye Ling's hidden injuries.

The fact that she could retreat unscathed after facing several Martial Artists of the same Realm back then was already proof of her powerful martial arts.

However, the internal injuries indeed affected Ye Ling.

She was currently unable to exert her full strength.

The wrinkles on her face were also so numerous that she didn't look like a Gui Zhen Warrior.

At Ye Ling's Realm, maintaining a youthful appearance was achievable.

Now, with Su Bai's help, the internal injuries in Ye Ling's body began to recover.

As a Cultivation Technique, the “Jade Liquid Qi Storage Inscription” now displayed its power.

Ye Ling only felt a warm force continuously entering her body from Su Bai's hands.

Then, her originally stuffy chest actually felt relieved.

When she had just circulated her Cultivation Technique, the excruciating pain in her Meridians now also eased under that force.

Ye Ling immediately understood.

Her Junior Sister was healing her.

She shook her head.

“Don't waste your Qi. I've lived for so many years; I'm already content.”

Ye Ling knew how powerful Su Bai was.

But she still advised Su Bai not to waste her Qi on someone who was already half in the grave like herself.

Even if her injuries were healed, how many more years could she live?

However, Su Bai acted entirely on her own will.

If she wanted to do it, she did it.

After healing Ye Ling, Su Bai planned to ask Ye Ling about the Demonic Sect.

At the same time, she took out a Medicinal Pill.

“Senior Sister, take this. It's good for your body.”

This Medicinal Pill was a Lifespan Pill that Su Bai had bought to cover her tracks.

She didn't need it herself, so she gave it to Ye Ling.

Although it wouldn't help much, an extra ten years of Lifespan would allow Ye Ling to do many things.

Ye Ling knew that Su Bai wouldn't harm her.

Just like the Monster Beast Pill she casually gave her back then, which allowed her to Breakthrough and become a Gui Zhen Warrior.

She directly consumed the Lifespan Pill.

Seeing this, Su Bai continued to inquire.

“Senior Sister, I want to first understand this so-called Demonic Sect.”

Upon hearing the name 'Demonic Sect,' Ye Ling's hand subconsciously trembled.

But then she thought of Su Bai beside her, who could fight against ten thousand fifty years ago. To what extent had her Martial Arts reached now?

“The Demonic Sect later snatched the Martial Dao Divine Intent Diagram you left behind. Any Martial Artist in the Jianghu who cultivated the Cultivation Technique you passed down, if they achieved even a little success, was slaughtered.”

“Blood flowed like rivers…”

“In terms of Martial Arts, the Demon Hunting Association was disbanded, all the various Martial Arts scriptures it collected were plundered, and Martial Artists were either captured and fed to Yao Beasts or had their blood drawn for Alchemy.”

“Martial Dao, it's broken!”

As Ye Ling spoke, a tear involuntarily fell from the corner of her eye.

She pointed to her own separate courtyard.

“After I retired, I began to organize the Martial Dao I had learned, thinking that even if I died, I should at least leave some behind, so that future Martial Artists would have hope of re-peeking into the Returning to Truth Realm.”

Ye Ling's departure from the Mingyu Sect to the Demon Hunting Association back then already showed her obsession with Martial Arts.

Witnessing the destruction of the Demon Hunting Association, which researched Martial Arts, the feeling of powerlessness was something only she understood.

Just as the two were chatting and reminiscing, a voice came from the distant horizon.

“Mingyu Sect! Hand over Ye Ling! Your Legacy will remain, otherwise, today will be the day the Mingyu Sect disappears!”

The vast reach of the voice and the profound Qi and blood behind it clearly indicated that only a Gui Zhen Warrior could achieve such a feat.

Moreover, it was clearly targeted, aimed directly at Ye Ling.

It seemed that even though Ye Ling had retired from the Jianghu, in the eyes of some people, she was still a real threat.

After all, she was a Gui Zhen Warrior.

Sending opponents of the same level also showed their重视 of Ye Ling.

At the same time, it also represented their determination to kill Ye Ling.

Hearing this voice, Ye Ling frowned.

“It's someone from the Demonic Sect.”

“From the voice, it's Zhang Quan, one of the people who severely injured me back then.”

Then Ye Ling looked at Su Bai beside her, just about to speak.

Su Bai merely raised a hand, interrupting Ye Ling's words.

At this moment, Su Bai's face no longer held a smile.

“The Mingyu Sect took me in and taught me Martial Arts. Now that it's in trouble, I naturally should help it out of this predicament.”

As her voice fell, Su Bai's figure had already vanished from before Ye Ling.

Seeing Su Bai disappear in front of her, Ye Ling's eyes widened.

She hadn't even noticed what Su Bai had just done.

At the main hall in front of Mingyu Sect Mountain, Ye Xuan was leading a group of Disciples in a standoff with a group of black-clad individuals.

Looking at the fierce and utterly evil expressions on their faces, Ye Xuan knew that the Mingyu Sect was in for a calamity today.

He carefully protected the Disciples behind him, whispering to his own Disciple:

“Later, your master will hold them off for a moment. You all go to the back mountain and find Ancestral Master, she will protect you all.”

The Demonic Sect members who came were all elites.

Each and every one of them had sharp ears and keen eyes.

Of course, they heard everything Ye Xuan said clearly.

Actually, the leader, who was also the only Gui Zhen Warrior present, spoke up.

“No need. We'll just slaughter all of you, and then we'll naturally go to the back mountain and make that old woman go down to meet you!”

As his voice fell, he struck out with a palm.

A powerful palm force, mixed with a foul smell, swept towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan also returned a palm strike.

But there was still an Innate Realm between a Grandmaster and a Returning to Truth Realm when they exchanged palm strikes!

Ye Xuan's palm force collided with the opponent's and crumbled instantly!

Moreover, that foul smell was clearly not as simple as it seemed; it was poisonous!

Many of the Mingyu Sect Disciples, merely by smelling that foul odor, already felt their limbs go weak and lost their ability to resist.

With just one move, the Mingyu Sect Leader and his Disciples all collapsed to the ground.

In response, the person who struck the palm only revealed a cruel smile.

“Don't worry, I won't let you die easily. I still need to drain your blood! Hahaha!”

Seeing that these Mingyu Sect members were already like lambs to the slaughter, the Demonic Sect members behind Zhang Quan all cheered loudly.

“Lord Zhang, ten thousand years of prosperity! Boundless magic power!”

“Lord Zhang, ten thousand years of prosperity! Boundless magic power!”

“Lord Zhang, ten thousand years of prosperity! Boundless magic power!”

Zhang Quan laughed even more unrestrainedly at the flattery of his subordinates.

As for the Mingyu Sect, their Demonic Sect originally didn't want to bother with it.

But Ye Ling had also cultivated the Three Parts Returning to Origin, and even contemplated the Martial Dao Divine Intent Diagram.

That Cultivation Technique absolutely could not be leaked.

Anyone who cultivated it would be killed without mercy!

Only in this way could the Demonic Sect maintain its status.

“Hahaha, my little ones, among these Disciples, the male Disciples will have their blood drawn! As for the female Disciples, you can do as you please! I'll go to the back mountain first to meet that old woman!”

“Long live Lord Zhang!”

Upon hearing Zhang Quan's command, many people immediately let out wails like ghosts and wolves.

Zhang Quan showed a satisfied expression at this.

He turned around, letting the black robe he wore draw a beautiful arc, and confidently walked towards the back mountain.

But as soon as he took a step, his head suddenly separated from his body.

His entire body fell heavily to the ground.

The group of Demonic Sect subordinates looked at their boss, who had suddenly kicked the bucket, and their cheers, which had just been loud, were choked in their throats as if their necks had been squeezed, unable to make a sound.

At this moment, a heavy sword fell to the ground, embedding itself in the hard marble floor, separating the Demonic Sect members from the Mingyu Sect Disciples.

Su Bai slowly descended from the air, stepping onto the hilt of the sword.

She coldly gazed at the group of dark, ant-like figures before her.

“If you commit suicide now, this Seat will no longer pursue this matter with you.”

“Otherwise, I will flay your skin, extract your souls, and burn them in a soul lamp for a thousand years!”
