After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 32 It's Time to Leave 2
Lin Yan doesn't need to sleep, so she uses cultivation instead of sleeping, and wakes up very punctually.

The Crimson Demon's bright red eyes were brimming with tears. "Coo coo..."

Did you hear its resistance? It doesn't want to go! It was once forced into a contract, but now it's truly willing. Give it a chance to reclaim its ungrateful nature.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but soften her heart. After considering it again and again, she agreed to let the Red Enchantress stay by her side and take her out of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

Lin Yan retrieved the array plate, picked up the Red Enchantress, and left the cave, heading outwards.

Suddenly, a mantis the size of half a person appeared, attacking with lightning speed. She quickly dodged it and threw a third-grade explosive talisman at it, causing the mantis to retreat in the explosion.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, she released the Crimson Enchantress and summoned her spirit sword, unleashing a burst of sword energy. The Giant Mantis also unleashed a wind blade, and the two forces collided, producing a deafening roar.

She charged forward with her sword, deliberately minimizing her use of spiritual power, and engaged in a fierce battle with the giant mantis.

She was really sleepy when someone handed her a pillow. She was just thinking of using low-level demonic beasts to train her combat strength without using spiritual power.

The Crimson Demon understood her thoughts and didn't come to help her fight the giant mantis. Instead, she helped her keep an eye on her surroundings to prevent any cultivators or demonic beasts from coming to ambush her.

After a fierce battle, her stamina was noticeably depleted, and she appeared somewhat exhausted. The giant mantis, on the other hand, bore numerous wounds inflicted by the spirit sword. Despite this, it remained ferocious and showed no intention of fleeing.

While attacking the mantis, she also made sure to observe its weaknesses.

She had seen the mantis, a low-level demonic beast, in the "Hundred Demonic Beasts" series. She knew that its abdomen was its weak point, so she would attack its abdomen whenever she found an opportunity, forcing it to expose a weakness.

Lin Yan's attacks were swift; as soon as an opening appeared, she immediately concentrated her power to attack the giant mantis's weak point.

The blow pierced its abdomen, causing green blood to flow out.

The giant mantis screamed in agony, its cries incredibly grating. She seized the opportunity to continue her attack, and the wounds inflicted on the mantis by the spirit sword multiplied, leaving pools of green blood on the ground.

Unable to bear seeing the mantis in such pain, she quickly swung her sword and severed its head.

As it died, the spirit sword left her hand and flew up to stab several holes in the mantis's corpse.

After dealing with the giant mantis and putting its corpse into a bottle, she picked up the rabbit and continued walking outside.

Whether by luck or not, she encountered very few demonic beasts along the way, and those she did manage to kill and take their corpses with her. When she saw any spiritual plants, even the highest-grade ones, she plucked them.

Emerging from Central, she felt an unprecedented sense of openness, and was hardly used to the fact that her spiritual sense could extend to such a vast range.

She felt the world had opened up, a feeling that made her linger at the warning monument for a while.

The probability of encountering cultivators on the outskirts of the Demon Forest is quite high. Since she doesn't like interacting with people, she plans to pretend to be mute.

With a slight movement of her fingers, her dusty gray robes transformed into a light blue dress, and she wore a large veiled hat with a long veil that completely covered her.

Once she reached the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, her divine sense was unrestricted, and there were no fog or poison barriers to obstruct her vision. Even with her eyes covered by the hat curtain, she could still see.

She took light steps and walked slowly forward. A gentle breeze blew, causing her skirt to flutter lightly, making her look like a fairy descending from heaven. The spirit sword's words appeared in her mind, asking if she wanted to go out.

His tone suggested he didn't understand what she was trying to achieve. She felt awkward. She wanted to play the role of a reclusive sage, but why was the spirit sword undermining her? Couldn't it be a little quieter, like the red-haired demon in her arms?

Just then, she heard a commotion not far away. Scanning the area with her divine sense, she saw several peak Qi Refining cultivators fighting against a third-tier demonic beast.

Five Qi Refining Peak cultivators weren't entirely without a chance against a third-tier demonic beast. However, this beast was a two-headed serpent, with the strength equivalent to two third-tier demonic beasts, and it could also spew venom, making it quite difficult for these Qi Refining cultivators to deal with it.

Thinking that it must be fate that they met, she went over and helped resolve the issue.

The five disciples who had come out together for training were very grateful to her, thanking her profusely and addressing her as "senior," which made her feel quite pleased. She realized why male-oriented novels loved to show off the protagonist's superiority; it really was satisfying!

They introduced themselves, saying they were disciples of the Hundred Herbs Sect who had come to the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest to collect some spiritual plants for cultivation experiments, but unexpectedly encountered a third-tier demon beast.

The disciples of the Hundred Herbs Sect are responsible for cultivating and planting spiritual plants. Many spiritual plants are not suitable for planting, so they cultivate plants that are suitable for planting and then sell the seedlings to other sects for planting.

She nodded and waved her hand, indicating that they didn't need to be so reserved. She had originally intended to pretend to be mute, but found it unbearable not to speak, so she gave up the act and asked them if they had any Xuancao seeds, as she wanted to buy some.

The Red Enchantress didn't like to eat the other spiritual plants, and she didn't want to force it to eat other cheap fodder.

She didn't buy the finished Xuancao directly because it was a bit expensive, and the Red Enchantress's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, so it wouldn't be cost-effective to buy it directly as fodder.

Since she's engaged in farming, she'll need to build a small house. Wandering around like this won't do; she needs to find a place to settle down. Thinking this, she realized that there's quite a lot to do outside the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

Planting will have to wait; we need to go to the far north first.

Several cultivators shook their heads, saying they hadn't brought any seeds with them.

She responded politely and then said goodbye to the group.

"Where are you headed, senior? We're going to Senbei Town to resupply. If you're going the same way, why don't you come along with us?"

Lin Yan thought for a moment, but still refused. She took out a paper crane, and with the help of magic, the paper crane grew larger. She jumped on it, and the paper crane flapped its wings and took off, carrying her away.

The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched her fly away on a paper crane. They never expected that their highly accomplished senior would use such a worn-out paper crane.

Could it be that the senior has remained true to his original aspirations and avoided arrogance and impetuosity?
When they first joined the sect, they received free paper cranes, but later they found them too slow and switched to other flying magical artifacts.

Thinking about it, they realized they were indeed too impetuous. They decided to learn from their predecessors and find the old paper cranes to use as flying vehicles.

The towns near the Ten Thousand Demon Forest have grown to the size of cities, bustling with various cultivators. There are no ordinary people in these towns. Many cultivators, weary of fighting and killing, tired of cultivation, and disliking dealing with mortals, have chosen to make a living here.

She walked into the town and saw shops lining both sides of the street, selling all kinds of magical treasures, elixirs and spiritual plants.

There were also small stalls, and the shouts of vendors and the sounds of bargaining filled the air. This was much more lively than the quaint little town she had visited after her last retreat.

She walked and looked around, no longer in a hurry to get on her way.

"Third senior brother, look how cute this little demon beast is! It's so pitiful that it's locked in a cage."

Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, she turned her head to look. Upon seeing someone dressed in the robes of a direct disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect, she frowned slightly!
