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

Chapter 337 Threaten me?
The monster roared, its eyes turning bloodshot, and spewed a foul-smelling breath at her.

The stench of rotting corpses hit us.

She used her spiritual power to resist, holding her breath in disgust.

What is that? It stinks!

The black fox clearly didn't like the rotten, foul smell either, and immediately turned and jumped away to harvest other demons.

Only she could handle this stuff; it was so disgusting that she threw up her dinner from the night before.

She used a fireball spell to throw at it, trying to burn it to death.

Even though its skin was burned down to its bones, it could still move.

Fortunately, she had enough magical weapons, and she smashed them all down, shattering the monster's bones.

It could no longer move and turned into powder and disappeared.

After dealing with the monster at the valley entrance, she hurried to find her master.

The valley is in chaos. What was once a beautiful place is now a mess, with disgusting slime and dried-up spiritual plants everywhere.

She encountered too many zombie monsters along the way, so she simply used fire to clear a path and burned them all to ashes.

Soon her master came to find her with her second master and took her on the Eagle Lion to fly into the sky.

The eldest sister doesn't look well, probably because she's been fighting for several days.

The master looked down over the entire Cloud Valley from the sky, then summoned the array plate, made hand seals, and the great array enveloped the entire Cloud Valley.

A destructive force crashed down, and after a deafening roar, the valley turned into a giant crater, and the nearby hills were leveled.

Both were at the Nascent Soul stage, but Master was clearly already at the half-step Divine Transformation stage.

After destroying the valley, the master also sealed the place to prevent the evil energy inside from overflowing.

The black fox would find it difficult to completely absorb the intense malevolent energy in a short time.

It doesn't seem to like consuming malevolent energy, so it can only be sealed away temporarily, with a way to eliminate it in the future.

Jiang He was not feeling well; even after taking the medicine, he did not recover.

She said with great distress, "These wicked people should have been crippled back then!"

Wen Ningqing breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him, saying, "Since the valley is destroyed, you should stay at Miaofa Sect. I'm worried about you living in seclusion alone."

Jiang He felt a sense of security from his friend and gently leaned closer.

However, the Miaofa Sect is not an absolutely safe place either.

Other sects have been infiltrated by demons, but the Miaofa Sect is acting differently, so its fate will not be good.

On the way back, I received a text message from the Miaofa Sect, saying that other sects and powerful families had joined forces to besiege the Miaofa Sect.

They united quickly and attacked just as quickly.

However, the Miaofa Sect had already taken precautions and strengthened the formations at the edge of their territory, making it impossible for them to break through for the time being.

They came in a fierce and imposing manner, chanting the slogan of eliminating the outcasts.

That's right, they stand on the side of "justice" and say that the Myōbō sect is heresy.

Lin Yan carefully glanced at her master's expression, and only felt relieved when she saw that her master's expression was normal.

Jiang He angrily cursed those people, asking if they were crazy.

They colluded with the demons, yet they did so under the guise of justice.

When the second text message arrived, they were already close to the territory of the Miaofa Sect. Before they could return, they were stopped by several Nascent Soul cultivators.

Among them are those of the first lineage and those of the Xingyan lineage.

The elders were very polite at first, trying to persuade Ningqing to join them, threatening to fight if she disagreed.

Without a second thought, Wen Ningqing took action.

What's the point of talking to a few things corrupted by demons!

They thought they could win because of their superior numbers, but they were caught off guard when Wen Ningqing made the first move.

"Wen Ningqing! Don't you dare refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" Several elders also unleashed their own magical weapons.

"You've got some nerve!"

A fight broke out between the two sides, and the sky above instantly changed color. Duan Yi understood their intentions; they wanted to intercept her while she was away from Miaofa Sect.

It would be best if we could win them over, so they wouldn't have to bother breaking the formation.

If we can't kill them, they'll have one less enemy.

"Duan Yi, stop resisting! With the Ancestor taking action this time, the Miao Fa Sect will be annihilated if it doesn't surrender!"

"We're doing this for everyone's benefit. Your Miaofa School is conservative in its thinking; are you trying to hinder others' progress?"

They were all filled with righteous indignation, as if they were not the ones who were allied with evil.

"Oh? Since when does associating with demons count as progress?"

The question made the men's faces turn ugly.

In the past, sects would fight and kill demons. Just a few years ago, they even joined forces to exterminate Lingyun, who had fallen into demonic possession.

How long has it been? The devil has become the side of "justice".

There must be cultivators in the sect who are unwilling to associate with demons, and their fate will probably be terrible.

They knew very well the consequences of being parasitized by the demonic seed, yet they still chose to take the risk. Why was that?
What benefits could possibly lure them to this?
"Master, why waste words with them? Just fight them!"

Lin Yan raised her flag, and runes struck them.

Who knew the runes would pass right through them?

She was astonished: she could clearly feel the runes on her wrists, so why did they pass right through them?

Doesn't this mean they don't have any demons in their bodies?

The black fox didn't come out, nor did it respond to her, so it couldn't answer her questions.

These people have no demons within them, yet they work for demons; isn't that even more despicable?

The group laughed loudly and produced a golden gourd, attempting to take the flag away.

"We've heard that someone is carrying a demon-slaying artifact. Do you think we can be completely unprepared?"

Seeing this, Lin Yan quickly retrieved her magic weapon and threw talismans at the group.

The commotion quickly attracted more people, and they were immediately surrounded.

Seeing this, Wen Ningqing immediately activated her domain, trapping everyone inside. She then had Eagle Lion take the others away, leaving her alone to face the surrounding cultivators.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the area, and it was too late for the others on the Griffin to stop it.

As the eldest disciple, Fu Xin made a decisive decision: she told everyone else to leave while she stayed behind to cover the retreat.

Seeing this, Lin Yan quickly said, "I'll stay too. I can't watch Master fight alone."

"No, you escort Master Jiang back to Miaofa Sect."

"..."

Jiang He watched the battle unfold in his domain with growing anxiety, regretting that he had chosen alchemy instead of swordsmanship or formation cultivation.

They seemed to be waiting for Wen Ningqing to demonstrate her abilities.

From a blooming black lotus, a hidden demon emerged, eyeing Wen Ningqing's body with predatory intent.

Lin Yan then realized why her wrist was reacting, but the flag couldn't hit them.

It turns out they were nurturing the demon within a magical artifact, rather than planting it directly into their bodies.

They came specifically for Wen Ningqing's body.

Fu Xin was still calling out from outside: "Master, please open the domain..." She didn't want to see her master besieged by demons while she could only watch helplessly from the outside.

When Lin Yan was anxious, the Sea God took the initiative to contact her.

"If you build a temple to the sea god in your sect and have your disciples worship me every day for a hundred years, how about I help you this once?"

A hundred years is not a long time for a cultivator; once they close their five senses after entering seclusion, it passes in the blink of an eye.

"Do you threaten me?"

Poseidon chuckled: "How can you call it a threat? This is a fair trade!"

It seems like she got a good deal, but there's no such thing as a free lunch.
