From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 77 The Number One Sect in Guzhou
Li Qingqiu cast a Soul-Binding Spell on the black fox soul beneath Lin Chuan, completely imprisoning it. Afterward, Lin Chuan actually began to devour its soul.

Although it was a bit strange, Li Qingqiu could sense his inner desire, so she didn't stop him.

The Demon Emperor committed numerous evils, and the demonic soul within him was naturally no better.

Only after the Black Fox's soul had completely lost consciousness did Li Qingqiu turn around to look.

The Demonic Sect is not entirely composed of top-tier or first-rate masters. The vast majority of its members are only slightly better than ordinary martial artists. Even if they all attacked together, they would not be able to break through the outer circle of the Qingxiao Sect.

Apart from Bai Ning'er and her companion guarding the spirit mine, the forty-four true disciples who had reached the first level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm displayed their strength at this moment. The demonic martial artists were no match for them in one-on-one combat.

Jiang Zhaoxia, Xu Ning, Zhang Yuchun, Li Dongyue, Wu Man'er, Li Sifeng, Li Sijin, Thirteen Swordsman Li, the Seven Sons of Qingxiao, Qin Ye, Cheng Canghai, Su Xiling, Li Yang, Zhao Linglong and others were interspersed among the true disciples, which greatly reduced the pressure on the true disciples.

The demonic warriors appeared fearless, but the death of the Demon Emperor greatly shook their morale; they were merely putting on a brave face.

As more and more demonic warriors died, the courage of those behind dwindled, their momentum weakened, and their pace slowed.

The Qingxiao Sect disciples, however, fought with increasing ferocity. They were pleasantly surprised to find that their internal energy was incredibly strong, and the demonic sect warriors simply couldn't withstand it.

Is this the ultimate technique of the Qingxiao Sect?

If they keep practicing, will they be able to kill that terrifying Demon Emperor with a single palm strike, just like the sect leader?

After Lin Chuan finished devouring the Black Fox Soul, demonic warriors began to flee, and the long street was now littered with corpses.

Li Qingqiu simply watched from afar, and even when his disciples were injured, he did not intervene.

Qingxiao Sect disciples always have to go down the mountain to train and travel the world. They are bound to get injured. It's better to take this opportunity to train. Getting injured under his protection is worse than dying at the hands of others.

Practicing martial arts and actual combat are not the same thing.

The fleeing momentum of the demonic sect warriors rapidly expanded. Li Qingqiu seemed to hear something, turned around, and looked at the Taihang Divine Monk in the distance.

This person was so badly injured, and fell from such a height, yet he didn't die.

Li Qingqiu immediately went over.

……

Bang!

As the sword fell to the ground, the demonic martial artist in front of Liu Yan collapsed. His mask was cleaved in two, and his brow and nose were split open, the cleavage extending all the way to his chest, a horrifying sight.

Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one behind him.

From childhood to adulthood, under Liu Fanzhou's protection, she had never done any physical labor, and killing was something far removed from her life. This time, she came to fight with Qingxiao Sect, and she originally thought her father would object, but to her surprise, her father supported her.

This was Liu Yan's first time killing someone, and so many people at once. The fear and dread she had expected hadn't materialized; she was still somewhat excited.

She turned around and saw that the other disciples were also excited, and even the injured ones did not cry out.

At this moment, she felt a deep sense of pride, not only for herself, but also for her fellow disciples and for the Qingxiao Sect.

The Demonic Sect is powerful, but so what?

They were still defeated by the Qingxiao Sect, and even though they were outnumbered.

The long street was littered with corpses, a sight that should have been horrifying, but none of the Qingxiao Sect disciples were afraid. Instead, they all looked at Li Qingqiu.

They recalled the scene of Li Qingqiu killing the Demon Emperor with a single palm strike, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

The Taihang monk, who had been healed by Li Qingqiu with the Rejuvenating Ghostly Needle, struggled to open his eyes. He looked at Li Qingqiu and asked weakly, "Who...who are you?"

Li Qingqiu glanced at him and said, "Sect Leader of Qingxiao Sect, Li Qingqiu, your injuries have stabilized, but we cannot take you with us. We still need to continue deeper into the prefecture."

After saying this, Li Qingqiu left.

The Taihang monk remained silent.

As a cry of an eagle rang out, Li Qingqiu leaped onto Xiao Ba's back. The Taihang Divine Monk saw a giant eagle fly overhead, a sight he would never forget.

"Now is not the time to rest, nor is it the time to reap the rewards. Don't forget our mission: to annihilate the Demonic Sect, not only for the common people, but also for the future of the Qingxiao Sect!"

"Everyone, follow!"

Zhang Yuchun stood on the courtyard wall and shouted loudly so that all his disciples could hear him.

Cheng Canghai continued to lead the way, his fighting spirit equally high. He felt proud of both Li Qingqiu's strength and his disciples' resilience.

If Qingxiao Sect can truly defeat the Demonic Sect and save the prefecture, its future fame will be unimaginable.

What five major sects!
The number one sect in Guzhou is about to be taken over!

He had already begun to imagine the prosperous scene of Qingxiao Mountain filled with magnificent buildings and palaces, and countless disciples.

Jiang Zhaoxia walked ahead, his expression cold and stern, his mind filled with the image of Li Qingqiu and the Demon Emperor exchanging blows.

He originally thought that once he reached the sixth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, he could dominate the martial world. However, the Demon Emperor's power refreshed his understanding of the martial world, and he was not absolutely confident in defeating the Demon Emperor.

But when the senior brother made his move, the Demon Emperor seemed utterly vulnerable. Just how big was the gap between him and the senior brother?
Xu Ning was another person who shared the same thoughts as him.

Xue Jin, the leader of the Thirteen Swords, also had Li Qingqiu's domineering figure echoing in his mind, and a desire arose in his heart.

He also wants to become someone like the sect leader!

The disciples of Qingxiao Sect each had their own thoughts as they made their way forward. They began to encounter disciples from Chanding Temple and Xuandang. Some of them died violently in the streets or had their bodies hanging from the eaves, while others were on the verge of death, barely clinging to life.

Li Dongyue and her apprentices took turns to help those they could, and those they couldn't, they didn't linger.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered demonic warriors who would launch surprise attacks, but fortunately they reacted in time and no one was injured.

Guided by Cheng Canghai, Qingxiaomen arrived at a mansion.

"That night, I saw the Demonic Sect escorting many children of the common people inside. There may be experts guarding it, so everyone be careful."

Cheng Canghai spoke loudly, unafraid of disturbing those inside the mansion. In fact, he hoped to make them tense, thus making it easier for them to reveal their weaknesses. At that moment, Li Qingqiu descended from the sky, landing in front of Jiang Zhaoxia.

He arrived at the mansion gate first, kicked it open, and seeing him appear, the disciples felt even more confident and quickly followed him.

The mansion was very large, with many courtyards. Li Qingqiu glanced at Lin Chuan out of the corner of her eye, and Lin Chuan immediately floated up, burrowed into the ground, and disappeared.

He stood there waiting, while other disciples walked in, making the courtyard feel crowded.

Zhang Yuchun walked to Li Qingqiu's side and said, "Senior brother, this mansion has too many houses. We can't let the disciples be scattered, lest something happen."

Li Qingqiu looked ahead and said, "Let everyone rest here and wait for my instructions."

Zhang Yuchun nodded and immediately turned to relay the order.

Jiang Zhaoxia followed and asked, "Why does it feel like the people from the Demonic Sect have disappeared?"

Although they had killed many demonic martial artists, many had also escaped, disappearing mysteriously.

If they hadn't encountered the injured disciples of Xuandang and Chanding Temple along the way, they would have thought they had arrived in an empty city.

"Wait and see what happens. Leave the city before dark and keep an eye on the disciples."

Li Qingqiu said softly that he was very satisfied with his disciples' performance.

He had seen the battlefield outside the city from the sky. There were indeed two armies clashing. The reinforcements had the upper hand, and with them killing so many demonic warriors, the demonic sect's fate was sealed.

It's impossible to completely eradicate the Demonic Sect; the emperor can create another one at any time.

What Li Qingqiu wanted was for the Demonic Sect to be unable to take root in Guzhou.

As long as they don't establish a foothold, the Demonic Sect cannot attack the Qingxiao Sect without warning, let alone launch a large-scale invasion.

At this moment, Li Qingqiu only wants to save as many people as possible.

Li Qingqiu never carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. For this mission, he sent Cheng Canghai to scout ahead and confirm that the evil Taoist was not as terrifying as he thought before leading his disciples here.

He wouldn't risk his disciples' lives just to blindly save someone.

In his heart, Qingxiao Sect will always be number one.

He would never hesitate to do good deeds and save lives, provided that the safety of Qingxiao Sect was guaranteed.

Just like now, after eliminating the potential threat to Qingxiao Sect, Li Qingqiu is also willing to save people. This is one of the reasons why he has so many disciples. Saving people always requires manpower.

after awhile.

Lin Chuan emerged from the ground, flew to Li Qingqiu, and began to describe what he had seen while waving his hands.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu's expression turned strange.

He turned to Zhang Yuchun and said, "You all stay here for now, be careful of the Demonic Sect's encirclement. I'll go check it out by myself."

After saying that, he followed Lin Chuan's directions, walked around several small paths, and entered a large hall.

He walked to a wall with a huge portrait hanging on it. With a wave of his right hand, the portrait flew away, revealing a hidden door.

He pushed open the door and entered a dark passage. Lin Chuan floated in front of him, leading the way.

I have to say, raising a ghost is really useful.

Li Qingqiu sighed inwardly, but when he heard Lin Chuan's words, his mood became heavy again.

He followed the dark passage down, turning several corners, until he arrived at an underground plaza. Oil lamps hung on the walls, illuminating everything.

He saw rows of water vats, and walked over with a grim face. He saw that the vats contained children, both boys and girls, all with their eyes closed, their bodies bloated.

Lin Chuan floated in the air, pointed in a direction, and asked Li Qingqiu to go and take a look.

Li Qingqiu immediately quickened his pace and came to a water vat. He found that the boy inside, although his eyes were closed, was trembling with his arms wrapped around himself.

Seeing this, Li Qingqiu reached out, imbued his hands with vital energy, and lifted the boy out of a vat of medicinal water.

The boy looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. He instinctively huddled in Li Qingqiu's arms and grabbed her clothes.

As Li Qingqiu infused his vital energy into the boy's body, the boy felt warmth and slowly opened his eyes, his gaze dazed.

Although Li Qingqiu didn't know what kind of medicine was in those water vats, the fact that so many people had died while this boy had survived indicated that the boy's body was extraordinary, or perhaps he had encountered some kind of fortuitous opportunity.

Are your parents still alive?

Li Qingqiu looked down at the child in her arms and asked softly.

The boy opened his chapped lips and said, "I was... beaten to death..."

Since being brought here, Li Qingqiu was the only one who wasn't wearing the demon mask, and the boy instinctively wanted to believe him.

"Is there anyone else at home?"

"He was also...killed..."

"If you become my disciple, I'll give you a home. Are you willing?"

"willing……"

After the boy finished speaking, he buried his face in Li Qingqiu's arms. Li Qingqiu was not afraid of him attacking her. While treating him, Li Qingqiu had already sealed his acupoints.

Seeing that the boy agreed, Li Qingqiu brought up the Daoist chart panel and searched for the boy's portrait.
