Yu Zhao: Why isn't Master dead yet?

After running for over a thousand miles in one breath, Yu Zhao finally stopped and landed in a ravine.

After landing, the three women found a dilapidated temple and hid inside, collapsing to the ground in silence.

After about half an incense stick's time, Shen Yunshu timidly spoke:

"Senior Sister, is it really alright if we just run away like this?"

"Aren't we just waiting to be buried with that idiot Wang Xuan if we don't run?"

Just thinking about this guy makes Yu Zhao furious. It's one thing for this idiot to court death, but he also tries to drag everyone else down with him.

Sacrificing an entire city with blood? How dare he even think of that? Even a Foundation Establishment Ancestor like Qingfeng Laodeng wouldn't dare to do something like that. How could a mere Qi Refining newbie like him have the guts?

Although Qingfeng Temple is the dominant force in Qingfeng Town, Yu Zhao is certain that this dominant position is probably just boasting by Qingfeng Lao Deng himself. If he were really that powerful, he wouldn't act so discreetly, nor would he disguise Qingfeng Temple as a legitimate sect.

Therefore, we can conclude that Qingfeng Town is located in a remote area, which is why Lao Deng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, can act so arrogantly, and other forces are too lazy to fight for such a small territory.

However, since the second brother, Wang Xuan, sacrificed a city with his blood, other forces could not stand idly by. Someone would inevitably go to slay the demons and eliminate the evil, and most likely Qingfeng Temple would be wiped out along with it.

Yu Zhao was truly terrified this time, fearing that if he was even a step too slow, he would die without even knowing how.

Wang Xuan's idiotic and brain-dead actions completely disrupted all her plans. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and asked Shen Yunshu and Liu Mei...

"Do you know any good places to visit outside Qingfeng Town?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei shook her head, "I'm from Qingfeng Town, and the furthest I've ever been is the county seat."

Liu Mei was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in the town. Later, her family suffered a misfortune and all of them died. She was then taken to Qingfeng Temple by the old man Qingfeng.

People used to rarely leave their homes, so their knowledge was naturally limited.

Unable to count on this guy, Yu Zhao looked at his junior sister, Shen Yunshu, who hesitated for a moment before saying:

"There's a large city two thousand miles away called Zhenbei City. Perhaps we could go and take a look."

"How did you know, Junior Sister?" Liu Mei asked in surprise, her eyes revealing a sense of inquiry. As far as she knew, this junior sister's origins were a mystery, yet she knew that there was a large city so far away, which made her even more curious.

Shen Yunshu remained silent in response to the question, her bright eyes cautiously glancing at her senior sister. Seeing that her senior sister seemed unwilling to press the matter, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She really doesn't know how to talk about some things about herself right now.

Unlike Liu Mei, Yu Zhao wasn't very curious. She had no interest in knowing Shen Yunshu's past, and she only brought these two people along because she felt that having two familiar people around would at least keep her from getting bored.

Besides, she felt that Shen Yunshu had some good fortune, so keeping her around as a mascot would be fine. As for Liu Mei... she was just a side effect.

Having finalized their destination, Yu Zhao then addressed other matters, "My two junior sisters, the road ahead is long and uncertain, and I hope everyone can support and help each other."

"That's natural," Liu Mei immediately stated.

"I'll do whatever you say, Senior Sister," Shen Yunshu said with a bright smile. As long as she could stay by her senior sister's side, she was happy to go anywhere.

Seeing that the two were quite sensible, Yu Zhao was quite satisfied and admonished them:

"I'm sure you two junior sisters know what kind of sect Qingfeng Temple is. From now on, let's not mention Qingfeng Temple again. Remember this: we were raised by a rogue cultivator. Our master's lifespan has ended, so we came out to travel the world."

Neither of the women was stupid; they naturally understood what Yu Zhao meant. If possible, who would want to say they came from the Demonic Sect?

This is hardly a glorious past.

"I understand your concerns, Senior Sister, but Senior Sister, our cultivation techniques and spells don't seem to be the righteous path at all."

Liu Mei voiced her concerns, saying that it was too difficult to disguise themselves as righteous cultivators. The techniques and spells they had learned were extremely strange, and they would be exposed in an instant if they used them.

"You don't need to worry about that. I will teach you a new technique."

As she spoke, Yu Zhao didn't give the two women time to react. She immediately made her move, pointing her slender fingers at the foreheads of the two women, one on each side.

The two women felt a wave of comfort, and then they found that black mist was emanating from their bodies. After a moment, the black mist dissipated, and the two women were covered in fragrant sweat.

Yu Zhao's finger strike not only taught them a sword technique called "Moon Shadow Sword Technique," but also used the spiritual power cultivated from the Jade Purity Technique to erase the hidden hand that Elder Qingfeng had left on them.

The Jade Purity Mantra is righteous and peaceful, and it is the natural enemy of demonic cultivation techniques. Shen Yunshu and Liu Mei both cultivate incomplete versions of the Blood Fiend Technique, which has problems and was secretly prepared by Elder Qingfeng. It is not difficult to break through it.

With Yu Zhao's current half-step Foundation Establishment cultivation and the Jade Purity Technique, which is a natural counter to demonic cultivation methods, it will be a matter of minutes.

The hidden tricks of the Blood Fiend Technique have been eliminated, but the problem of overdrawing the cultivator's foundation has not been solved.

The only solution is to modify the technique, but Yu Zhao currently has no other cultivation methods. She cannot pass on the Jade Purity Technique, as the Jade Purity Technique purified by the light screen is profound and obviously not an ordinary cultivation method.

How could I possibly pass on something so closely guarded?

"The Blood Fiend Technique is too detrimental to one's own body. Once I find other techniques, I will give them to you to practice."

Yu Zhao painted a rosy picture for the two women, and they were now completely convinced of her abilities. They could feel the pleasure in their bodies, as if an invisible boulder had been lifted off their bodies.

Moreover, the swordsmanship taught by the senior sister was truly profound and unfathomable. Now, in their eyes, the senior sister herself seemed mysterious and profound, so the two women naturally believed what she said.

Liu Mei grabbed Yu Zhao's arm and said in a sweet, alluring voice:

"I will remember your kindness, Senior Sister. I will definitely repay you. You can do anything you want for me, Senior Sister!"

Yu Zhao: "..."

What a vixen! Too bad I'm... Waaah, it hurts so much!

That's utter nonsense!

Yu Zhao silently pushed the vixen away, then found a corner to sit down and meditate.

After nightfall,

Yu Zhao sat by the fire to keep watch, while Shen Yunshu and Liu Mei slept soundly beside him.

At this moment, Yu Zhao felt a little lost. He had always been thinking about killing his master and leaving Qingfeng Temple to see the world.

Now that she had achieved her goal of leaving Qingfeng Temple, she felt inexplicably melancholy and a sense of unreality.

Have I really gotten rid of that old man? From now on, am I truly free to fly high?

That seems to be the case.

But for some reason, Yu Zhao still couldn't feel at ease.

Finally, she realized that her inability to feel at ease stemmed from the fact that her master was not dead. Subconsciously, she worried that her master might use some means to find them and capture them again.

"My dearest master, you are becoming my inner demon. If you don't die, I will never be able to eat or sleep in peace."

As the firelight flickered, it illuminated Yu Zhao's face, which was filled with murderous intent...
