My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

It was through this treasure that the Su family traveled from the Blood God Sect to Tongyun City, which was 100,000 miles away.

Even with the speed of a master, it would take five days to travel 100,000 li.

You can use a shrinking print; one day is enough.

This Shrinking Earth Seal is pretty much what Qi Yu expected; it's a subspace left behind by a sage.

The Age of Saints began seven thousand years ago and lasted until three thousand years ago. During these four thousand years, thirty-seven saints emerged.

The Confucian Sage was the last sage of the era of sages. Since his death, no other sage has appeared.

This Shrinking Earth Seal was left behind by a holy emperor five thousand years ago. He was also the first emperor to unify the continent and establish a dynasty.

However, perhaps due to overwhelming good fortune, this dynasty also perished after only two generations. With the death of the Holy Emperor, the vast empire became an undefended cake, which was quickly divided up.

Every sage who is born is a powerful figure who suppresses an era.

However, saints are basically no longer appearing now, and even sub-saints are a luxury. The Grandmaster of the Dao is the highest level.

If a sage were to emerge now, he might actually be able to unify the continent, and even the endless seas would choose to submit.

Qi Yu couldn't help but think of the sect leader, feeling somewhat worried.

It's been almost two months, but there's still no word from the coach.

He planned to go to Jiangzhou City to let Su Yue know he was safe, and then go to the capital. Lately, he had been feeling a bit uneasy.

Now that his strength has recovered and even reached a higher level, namely the peak of the Dao Integration stage, he has the strength to fight.

As long as they don't encounter someone at the half-step sub-saint level, like his cheap father-in-law and his wife, there won't be any problems.

Moreover, it's time to take the next step. The Taoist disciples have already been relocated, and now the Changsheng Temple is just an empty shell.

Once the leader of the sect leaves the pass, he can build hundreds of Taoist temples like the Changsheng Temple.

I can say that I have fulfilled my promise to the head of the church!

He had promised that he would take good care of Taoism after the leader went into seclusion.

He is now fulfilling his promise very well!

Qi Yu walked out of the study with complicated thoughts, and then saw Su Yun at the front door. There was a bright red handprint on Su Yun's face.

Logically speaking, Su Yun is a Grandmaster, and such an injury should be able to heal immediately by circulating his true energy. However, there is a trace of true energy remaining on this palm print, preventing him from recovering.

"Who hit you? In this Blood God Cult, is there anyone who dares to hit you?" Qi Yu asked out of curiosity.

Su Yun glanced at Qi Yu, snorted coldly, and left.

After dismembering the corpse, he became even more aloof than before!

Judging from his expression, it should only be Ouyang Ruoxue.

After all, in the Blood God Sect, the only one who dared to hit him and could make him so frustrated was Ouyang Ruoxue.

Even after his body was severed, he still harbored an obsession with Ouyang Ruoxue, which led him to cause a great disturbance at the Ziqi Pavilion.

Now, the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Heavenly Edge Sea Pavilion are stirring, gathering their forces, and preparing to attack and snatch people away.

However, Su Chengying seemed to have a solution, so Qi Yu stopped worrying about it.

Chapter 240 The Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult

Qi Yu was about to go back, but before leaving, he went to see Ouyang Ruoxue.

Apart from having his true energy sealed, the eldest disciple of the Purple Qi Pavilion was otherwise fine and was treated with courtesy.

Su Yun didn't do anything to Ouyang Ruoxue, he just imprisoned her.

Qi Yu didn't know what to say about this, nor was it convenient for him to say anything.

Ouyang Ruoxue is the symbolic figure of the alliance between Ziqi Pavilion and Tianya Haige. Logically speaking, since she was kidnapped, Tianya Haige and Ziqi Pavilion should not be able to unite.

But in reality, whether Ouyang Ruoxue was in power or not, she was powerless to stop the alliance of the two forces.

Ouyang Ruoxue was merely a bridge!

Without Ouyang Ruoxue, someone else can take her place; it's that simple.

Therefore, Qi Yu didn't really have any thoughts about Su Yun capturing Ouyang Ruoxue.

He also disliked the people from the Purple Qi Pavilion, including the impolite Ouyang Ruoxue.

Qi Yu used the Shrinking Earth Seal, and when he walked out of the passage, he was already near Tongyun City.

Qi Yu first went to the courtyard outside the city and saw Qi Ran and his sister-in-law Liu Qian.

Qi Yu didn't go to bother her, because no matter what, he was Liu Qian's former brother-in-law. Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, going there would only create a rift in the family.

As long as I can see Qi Ran living a happy and fulfilling life, that's enough.

As for the rest, he didn't care!

Tongyun City and Jiangzhou City are only about ninety kilometers apart, and he arrived in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

As you pass by Jiangting Village, Qi Yu, you can't help but stop and look towards Yunyu Academy.

He couldn't see it before, but now, above Yunyu Academy, a dark cloud was floating, and this dark cloud was somewhat similar to the one Su Yun had.

Without even thinking, Qi Yu knew what it was.

Lin Ruoxi!

She also practiced the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique, and this dark shadow should be her clone.

One is enough to throw the world into chaos, and now there are two more.

Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, Lin Ruoxi had already merged with his corpse-severing clone.

Lin Ruoxi was frail and sickly from a young age, suffering from tuberculosis. When I first saw her, she was delicate and frail, looking sickly as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

That wasn't an act; she did indeed have tuberculosis.

In this era, tuberculosis was basically a death sentence, because it was incurable.

However, the next few times I saw Lin Ruoxi, she was full of energy and no longer had that gentle and dignified demeanor. Instead, she looked like a ruthless and strong woman.

The reason why Su Chengying's family couldn't see Lin Ruoxi's strength and true nature in the past was not because Lin Ruoxi hid it so well, but because that was her original personality.

She wasn't hiding anything at all!

The "Severing the Three Corpses" technique can more or less affect one's mental state, and may even lead to mental breakdown and the emergence of a second personality.

Although Su Yun's personality has changed slightly, it is still largely Su Yun's own consciousness, and no second personality has emerged.

Because Su Yun's approach was to let his clones grow freely, even if it meant they developed their own consciousness.

Lin Ruoxi seems to be different; she appears to be controlling her clone, using herself as a cage.

If the clones created by the Corpse Slayer are not killed immediately, it is virtually impossible to kill them again later.

Qi Yu didn't know Lin Ruoxi's situation, but that didn't stop him from treating her as an enemy.

He wasn't afraid of Grandmasters at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm, but he was somewhat afraid of Lin Ruoxi, and now Su Yun was added to the list.

Qi Yu still feels a chill run down his spine and lingering fear whenever he thinks about that glance from the shadowy clone a few days ago.

It was a tremor from the depths of the soul, a fear of being stared at by a herbivore or a carnivore, as if they were natural enemies.

These clones are indestructible and unkillable; even if the original body dies, they can continue to survive by absorbing negative energy—truly monsters.

Qi Yu took a deep look at Yunyu Academy, then turned his gaze back and continued heading towards Qingxin Lake Villa.

……

Returning to the villa, Qi Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia, as if a lifetime had passed.

I've been gone for over a month!

Pushing open the gate, Su Yue was already in the courtyard, waiting for Qi Yu.

She wore a long purple dress, smiled, had gentle features, and her clear eyes were filled with longing.

"My lord, welcome home!" Su Yue said softly.

Qi Yu smiled gently, his eyes filled with tenderness, as he looked at Su Yue.

"I am back!"

What constitutes a home?

Home is where your heart is at peace!

Home is wherever Su Yue is.

If Su Yue is in the courtyard, then the courtyard is home; if Su Yue is here, then this place is home.

Qi Yu could no longer suppress his longing for Su Yue. He took a step forward, then took three steps in two, and walked to Su Yue in front of him. He then pulled Su Yue into his arms.

The faint fragrance lingering in Su Yue's hair was so familiar, and her soft, boneless body was still so intoxicating.

Su Yue put her hands under Qi Yu's armpits and through his hair, hugging his back. She pressed her pretty face against Qi Yu's chest, feeling that familiar heartbeat and hearing that fresh, gardenia-like scent.

She loved this man so much that she would not hesitate to become a devil for him.

The two embraced in the courtyard, feeling each other's presence, and silently expressing their longing for each other during this time.

"Cough cough!"

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Shuqin's cough broke this brief but beautiful and heartwarming moment.

Qi Yu was the first to release Qi Yu, then looked at Xu Shuqin, and then bowed.

Xu Shuqin waved her hand and said, "I've told you many times, there's no need for so much formality."

Qi Yu could only smile bitterly; he could say that, but he couldn't do it.

"You two can be all lovey-dovey tonight. First, close the door, wash your hands, and come eat!" Xu Shuqin said.

Qi Yu turned his head. He had just opened the door and seen Su Yue. His mind was filled with Su Yue, so he hadn't bothered to close the door. That's why the door was still open.

Many people who were passing by and taking a boat trip on the lake glanced at us with strange looks.

Qingxin Lake is a popular tourist destination every summer, and this villa is built right by the lake, with a main road just outside the villa wall.
