The Purple Extreme Holy Sect Makes its Appearance

Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu's sudden attack startled both groups of cultivators who were fighting, and then they all attacked them in perfect unison.

"Form ranks!"

With a shout from a man in blue, his fellow disciples quickly formed hand seals, and suddenly, a pale golden light shone around the area where Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu were located.

They were surrounded by an array, and at the same time, an array appeared above their heads. The moment the array appeared, a large, pale golden hand reached out from it.

They pressed down on the two women and the other group of people around them.

"It's the Luo Tian Killing Formation! Retreat!"

Someone cried out in alarm, and then the crowd scattered and fled.

But it was too late. In an instant, everyone felt themselves being pressed down by a terrifying force, their bodies frozen in place, unable to move.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, there's no need to make such a fuss over a single Jade Bamboo. I'll give up this time; the bamboo is yours."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the man who had casually struck Yu Zhao with his sword light earlier tried to beg for mercy from the Fellow Daoist Chen he had mentioned.

Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu were no longer in a hurry to make a move; they started watching the show from the sidelines.

That Fellow Daoist Chen was the man in blue. He looked completely confident of victory, and his smile grew even more unrestrained.

"It's certainly not worth it for a mere Jade Bamboo, but what you don't know is that there's an even greater treasure at the bottom of this lake. Therefore, I have no choice but to ask you to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fellow Daoist Chen's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and his hands kept forming hand seals. As he did so, his fellow disciples were suddenly shocked to discover that something was wrong with the Luo Tian Killing Formation.

This thing is absorbing their life force!

"Senior brother, what are you doing!"

"This isn't the Luo Tian Killing Formation, it's the Ten Thousand Demons Soul Devouring Formation! Damn it, when did he change the formation?!"

"Help! I don't want to die!"

"..."

Amidst the shouts and curses, no one expected that this Fellow Daoist Chen would even betray his own fellow disciple.

Fellow Daoist Chen laughed heartily, but as he laughed, his smile suddenly froze, because he discovered that the two female cultivators who appeared later were completely unharmed.

"Just who are you two?"

As expected of someone capable of ensnaring a group of people, Fellow Daoist Chen quickly calmed down, and his expression grew increasingly solemn as he looked at Yu Zhao and the other two women.

"We were just passing by, but this idiot stabbed us, so we came here to settle our score."

As she spoke, Yu Zhao pointed to the man who had stabbed her earlier. Hearing this, Fellow Daoist Chen breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "In that case, his life belongs to you two. After you kill him, you may leave as you see fit."

"Do you even believe that yourself?" Yu Zhao looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Do you think I'm stupid?" This fellow Daoist surnamed Chen dared to drag his fellow disciples into this mess, how could he possibly let them off the hook?

"Furthermore, I am quite interested in the even more precious treasures you speak of, fellow Daoist."

Seeing that he couldn't reason with him, Fellow Daoist Chen stopped wasting words and began to fully activate the formation. He refused to believe that he couldn't refine the Myriad Demon Soul Devouring Formation, which only consisted of two Qi Refining cultivators.

As it turned out, it really couldn't be refined. The person who set up the formation was too weak to unleash its true power. Besides, Yu Zhao was very familiar with this kind of demonic formation.

Moreover, she didn't even enter the formation.

Yu Zhao may not be good at other things, but when it comes to self-preservation and cunning, she has long since honed her skills to the point of near perfection.

As Yu Zhao finished speaking, Fellow Daoist Chen was horrified to discover that the two women in the formation had turned into paper cutouts. He reacted quickly and realized that he had been tricked.

Just as he was about to expand the array's range to control the two women hiding in the shadows, Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu appeared beside him like ghosts. Shen Yunshu took a dagger and stabbed it towards the woman's waist.

Yu Zhao then swung her sword to behead him. The two women worked together seamlessly, their movements unpredictable. Poor Fellow Daoist Chen didn't even have time to react before he was killed in an instant.

With the death of Chen Daoyou, the mastermind behind the formation, the formation naturally dissipated.

Looking at the two groups of people slumped on the ground, Yu Zhao fell into deep thought. Neither group was in good condition. This so-called Ten Thousand Demon Soul Devouring Array was indeed strange, seemingly having the ability to absorb life force.

Both groups now look listless, their hair is gray, and they look more than twenty years older for no reason.

Yu Zhao originally intended to kill all of them, but after discovering that Fellow Daoist Chen was using a demonic formation and was trying to kill everyone, Yu Zhao changed his mind.

Previously, she wanted to kill everyone because she was a robber, but now it's different; she's a hero who saved everyone and killed the demonic cultivator.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhao smiled gently: "Fellow Daoists, your situation is very bad. I don't know how to treat you. You can try circulating your own cultivation techniques. Once you feel better, leave the ruins and find your sect elders."

Your elders in your sect must have a way to heal you.

At this moment, Yu Zhao looked so holy and pure. The sunlight shone on her, making her look like a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

The guy who had stabbed her for no reason was immediately filled with shame and knelt down to kowtow in respect.

"I will forever remember your great kindness in saving my life, Fairy. I was rude before, and I will make you pay for the cause and effect of that sword strike!"

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you flatter me. What cause and effect? ​​We've become friends through this fight." Yu Zhao smiled and went over to help the person up. She suddenly felt that this feeling of being respected was much better than being feared.

From now on, she will be the white moonlight of this cultivation world. She plans to live a different life, make good connections in this cultivation world, and become the respected Heavenly Venerable Yu!

As for those who disrespect her... She's already so good, and they still don't respect her? They must be damned demonic cultivators. Since they're demonic cultivators, they have to be killed.

She, Yu Zhao, will become the leader of the righteous path!

Anyone who opposes us is a demonic cultivator, and we'll kill them on the spot!

perfect.

Thinking about her future, Yu Zhao's smile grew even brighter. She then showed concern for everyone and even used her spiritual power to help stabilize the injuries of those who were most severely hurt.

After Yu Zhao's efforts, everyone got to know her, learning that her surname was Yu and that she was a disciple of the Luoyue Sect.

At the same time, their affection for her skyrocketed. There aren't many good people like her these days. They asked themselves if they could do the same if they were in her shoes.

Don't forget there are still treasures nearby, but Fairy Yu disregarded them, not only saving their lives but also helping them wholeheartedly. She is so noble and admirable.

Compared to her, we are nothing but worms in the gutter.

Everyone felt ashamed of themselves, and the fellow Daoist surnamed Wang spoke up at the opportune moment:

"Fairy Yu, hurry and pick the spirit bamboo. With it, your sect will definitely value you even more after we leave the ruins."

Everyone nodded in agreement, urging Yu Zhao to pick the jade bamboo in the center of the lake; they had clearly given up on competing for it.

Shen Yunshu, who was watching from the side, was completely bewildered by the scene. She didn't understand what her senior sister was doing and how she had suddenly won people's hearts.

Although she didn't understand, Shen Yunshu was eager to learn. She silently remembered her senior sister's words and actions and studied them in her heart.

Shen Yunshu felt that her senior sister was a genius, and she could always learn some strange and wonderful things from her.

Leaving aside the inner turmoil of the little green tea girl, Yu Zhao didn't stand on ceremony with these people. She went straight over, put the spirit bamboo into the jade box, and then put it into her storage bag.

After doing all this, she went back and asked everyone:

"Fellow Daoists, I am here to protect you. You should take this time to regulate your breathing. Once you feel a little better, I will escort you out of the ruins."

"We dare not trouble you any further, Fairy. We are feeling better now and plan to leave the ruins. Once you have left the ruins, I, Wang, will catch up with you again."

The fellow Daoist surnamed Wang spoke up. He was the most powerful among them, and although there were two groups, they were all implicitly led by him. Once he spoke, no one else dared to say anything more.

After Wang Daoyou led everyone to bow to Yu Zhao, he left with them.

Clearly, he was being sensible; even though he had heard from the man surnamed Chen that there were treasures at the bottom of the lake, he no longer wanted them.

Between a precious treasure and a life, which is more important?

After distancing himself from Yu Zhao and the other two women, Fellow Daoist Wang's expression changed, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at the crowd.

"Fellow Daoists, our lives were all saved by Fairy Yu, so you all understand what to say and what not to say after we get out."

"Of course, we are not ungrateful people."

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Wang, we would never betray Fairy Yu. Anyone who utters anything they shouldn't will be executed by us!"

"Let's all punish them!"

The crowd chimed in with their own opinions, and Wang Daoyou nodded in satisfaction. Then, they helped each other walk toward the entrance of the ruins.

On the other side, by the lake,

Shen Yunshu couldn't hold back any longer and asked Yu Zhao:

"Senior sister, why did you let those people go?"

"Because of your senior sister, I want to be a good person," Yu Zhao blurted out.

Shen Yunshu: "???"

"Senior sister, can we talk properly?" Shen Yunshu said helplessly.

"Well, the truth is I realized I didn't need to kill them to silence them anymore. I didn't expect there to be a demonic cultivator among them. I killed the demonic cultivator and saved them."

In this way, even if we obtain some treasure, we can use this as leverage after leaving the ruins. I need them as witnesses to prove that I saved them and that I am a righteous and noble cultivator.

"But what's the use of that?"

Shen Yunshu didn't understand; she didn't understand the meaning of what her senior sister was pursuing.

There were a bunch of powerful cultivators at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages outside. No matter what they said, they couldn't keep the Jade Spirit Bamboo. In fact, if the two precious treasures they obtained were discovered by these powerful cultivators, they wouldn't be able to keep them either.

"In this world, the strong rule, and no matter how good a reputation a minor cultivator has, it's useless."

Hearing Shen Yunshu's words, Yu Zhao smiled and shook her head, gently stroking the little green tea's head, and said gently, "You're right, but there are still rules in this world. Those Golden Core and Nascent Soul experts outside, no matter how they act in private, on the surface, they consider themselves righteous."

Then we must act according to proper rules. If there is only one Nascent Soul cultivator outside, we will definitely not be able to protect anything, but now there are multiple Nascent Soul cultivators outside.

This creates a system of checks and balances, forcing them to follow the rules. This is the nature of the underworld; wherever there are people, there is the underworld, and where there is the underworld, there are rules, and everyone must act within those rules.

"Is that so?" Shen Yunshu was a little confused and didn't quite understand Yu Zhao's words for a moment.

"That's it," Yu Zhao nodded firmly, comforting the little green tea, "Trust me, I'm reliable, we'll definitely be able to protect our baby."

After obtaining the Human Emperor Banner, Yu Zhao was actually planning what to do if he went out and was discovered by a powerful being.

A direct confrontation won't work, so you have to play by the rules and find someone who respects the rules to back you up.

She already had a target in mind: the Prince of Zhenbei.

She had to elevate the seemingly trivial matter of a powerful being attempting to seize a minor cultivator's treasure to a higher level, making it appear as if the powerful being was trying to humiliate the cultivators of Zhenbei City. In this way, the King of Zhenbei could not stand idly by.

However, all these calculations must be based on one premise: that Yu Zhao wins the favor of the Prince of Zhenbei.

Yu Zhao thought that the King of Zhenbei would probably like a fairy named Yu who had killed a demonic cultivator and saved a group of fellow cultivators.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go into the lake and see what treasures are inside."

As she spoke, Yu Zhao took the lead and entered the water. She was very curious about what kind of treasure would make that Fellow Daoist Chen risk exposing his identity as a demonic cultivator to obtain it.

After she entered the water, Shen Yunshu followed closely behind.

The lake wasn't deep, and the two women quickly reached the bottom. There was indeed a treasure at the bottom of the lake, and they were very familiar with it—it was the coffin they had encountered before.

That coffin left behind by the ancient Corpse Refining Sect.

Upon seeing this thing, and recalling the actions of that demonic cultivator surnamed Chen, Yu Zhao immediately sensed that something big was going on.

Without the slightest hesitation, she grabbed Shen Yunshu and flew out of the lake, then headed towards the entrance of the ruins.

Shen Yunshu wasn't stupid; she naturally realized what was going on.

The fact that a demonic cultivator discovered the coffin left behind by the ancient Corpse Refining Sect indicates that the demonic sects already know something and are very likely plotting to obtain it.

In other words, there are definitely no shortage of demonic cultivators hiding in the ruins at this time!

Now, an exploration of the ruins could very well turn into a battle between good and evil. If you don't run now, are you just waiting to become cannon fodder?

To be honest, the fact that these two women have survived to this day is quite remarkable, given their keen perception.

They were able to deduce most of the story from the smallest details.

There were indeed demonic cultivators among the ruins at this time, and quite a few of them. In Yu Zhao's words:

Demonic cultivators are like cockroaches; once you discover one demonic cultivator, there's bound to be a whole swarm lurking in the shadows.

In terms of stealth and concealment, demonic cultivators are far superior to righteous sects.

At this time, outside the ruins.

The demonic sect, the Purple Extreme Holy Sect, has already sent people, including three Nascent Soul cultivators and more than ten Golden Core cultivators.

In today's cultivation world, powerful cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage rarely show themselves, and those at the Nascent Soul stage are considered overlords. The appearance of three powerful Nascent Soul cultivators from the demonic path immediately made the atmosphere much more tense.

This is the territory of Zhenbei City. As the ruler of Zhenbei City, the King of Zhenbei spoke first:

"Ancestor of Ten Thousand Souls, what is the meaning of this from your Purple Extreme Holy Sect?"

"Of course we're here to get a share! The ancient ruins don't belong to any sect, so why can you explore them while we, the Purple Extreme Holy Sect, can't?"

That's true, but nobody likes the Purple Extreme Holy Sect. To the righteous sects, the Purple Extreme Holy Sect is like a rat dropping; anyone who gets involved with it is disgusted.

If destroying a holy land weren't such a huge undertaking, they would have wanted to eliminate this thing long ago.
