My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Logically speaking, if it weren't for the Ziqi Pavilion's interference, Qi Yu would already be the leader, and Taoism should be under their control.

They should naturally be opposed to the Purple Qi Pavilion.

But the fact is, they did cooperate.

Because they have a common enemy!

If Qi Yu is crippled and cannot be restored, Xuanzong and Ziqi Pavilion will indeed clash.

But Qi Yu recovered, which put a lot of pressure on them.

Under this pressure, they had no choice but to unite.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

If the leader of the sect cannot break through to the level of a sub-sage on the day he emerges from seclusion, then that will be the time of the destruction of Taoism.

If the leader breaks through to the level of a sub-saint, then that will be both the first and the last day of his sub-sainthood.

Whether the leader succeeds or fails, Taoism will be destroyed.

Qi Yu used the destruction of the six great families to restrain Emperor Xuanzong, forcing them to protect Taoism.

But would Emperor Xuanzong willingly let Qi Yu lead him by the nose?

will not!

In the past few months, they have found a solution!

The collaboration with Ziqi Pavilion is part of this solution.

If Taoism is destroyed, their Xuanzong sect will take over Taoism and become the sole inheritor of Taoism, just like the Qingyun Academy, which represents Confucianism.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Self-Inflicted Injury Scheme?

The next morning, Qi Yu saw Ouyang Ruoxue at the dining table, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Ouyang Ruoxue didn't seem like a prisoner at all; she seemed more like a guest.

The root cause, in fact, lies with Su Yun.

Qi Yu didn't know the extent to which Su Yun had severed his own body, whether he had completely eradicated all his emotions.

Whether he truly loves Ouyang Ruoxue or is simply haunted by obsession, Qi Yu has no idea.

However, none of this mattered to him. He might not be able to beat Su Yun now, and the shadowy figure gave him a very dangerous feeling.

After dinner, Ouyang Ruoxue suggested going boating on the lake. Su Yun frowned, but still agreed.

Ouyang Ruoxue invited Su Yue to join, which made Qi Yu wary. He originally wanted to stop her and tell Su Yue not to agree.

But Qi Yu was too late; Su Yue agreed immediately.

Qi Yu swallowed his words halfway through, somewhat speechless.

The saying goes, "Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years." Is Su Yue starting to lose her mind now?

Ouyang Ruoxue went boating on the lake, and no matter what the reason, Su Yue, who was pregnant, should not have gone with her!

After a quick tidy-up, Ouyang Ruoxue and Su Yue went boating on the lake together, while Qi Yu, worried about them, followed along.

Su Yun did not come along, apparently because there was a problem with the Blood God Sect that needed his attention.

This puzzled Qi Yu. What could this simpleton possibly handle?

He can kill people, but he can't handle business.

Qi Yu and Su Yue arrived at the lakeside with two women. Both of them were disguised, so there were no problems.

However, Ouyang Ruoxue didn't know any disguise techniques. With her looks, she really turned heads. In the end, she even had to wear a veil to look a little better.

It's summer now, and the willows along the lake shore are swaying gently. The clear blue water and sky are a pleasing sight, and Qi Yu's mood naturally improves.

There were many vendors, and Qi Yu became interested, wandering among the various vendors and soon buying a large pile of different snacks.

Qi Yu has no resistance to food.

Food holds a place in my heart second only to Su Yue!

Both women looked at Qi Yu with strange eyes. Su Yue had seen him before and knew Qi Yu's interests and hobbies, so she quickly realized what was going on.

But Ouyang Ruoxue saw Qi Yu buying all sorts of food like a big child, and then showing a satisfied smile. She found it hard to imagine that Qi Yu would have such a side.

In most people's eyes, Qi Yu is a proud, aloof, principled, responsible, and composed figure with a strong sense of strategy.

But at this moment, going there felt like being a child; he would smile contentedly for some food.

Then, without realizing it, Ouyang Ruoxue's gaze shifted to Su Yue.

"Having a husband like this must be exhausting for you, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Yue smiled and her gaze softened as she looked at Qi Yu.

"If it's for his sake, I'll have no regrets no matter how hard or tiring it is."

Ouyang Ruoxue rolled her eyes. It felt a little awkward for a Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect who had destroyed countless sects to say such things in such a warm and gentle tone!

"Wife, give it a try. These fish cakes are delicious. I roughly know how to make them. I'll make them for you when we get back!" Qi Yu came over carrying a bunch of oil paper bags and handed Su Yue a wrapped fish cake.

Su Yue reached out and took the fish cake, then glanced at Ouyang Ruoxue next to her and handed the fish cake over.

"for you!"

Ouyang Ruoxue was somewhat surprised, but in the next moment, she parted her red lips under the veil and accepted the fish cake.

"Then I shall accept!"

Qi Yu also bought Ouyang Ruoxue's share, but since Su Yue gave hers to Ouyang Ruoxue, then Ouyang Ruoxue's share will be given to Su Yue, it's about the same.

As the sun gradually rose, Su Yue opened her umbrella to shield herself from the sunlight.

Ouyang Ruoxue also brought an umbrella, but seeing Qi Yu and Su Yue sharing one umbrella side by side, chatting and laughing, she felt like she was superfluous.

Soon the three arrived at the boat rental place. Ouyang Ruoxue suggested going boating, and Su Yue had no objection, as did Qi Yu.

Su Yue can't swim, but she can stand on water, so there's no danger of her drowning, and Qi Yu doesn't need to worry.

Besides, don't I still have myself?

I can swim!

The three boarded a small boat. Qi Yu originally wanted to hire a boatman to row the boat, but Su Yue said it wasn't necessary.

Qi Yu had no choice but to pick up a bamboo pole and pole the boat himself.

Qi Yu started rowing, while Ouyang Ruoxue and Su Yue prepared pastries and tea in the dock, and then chatted 'laughing and talking'.

Qi Yu now understands the special friendship between Su Yue and Ouyang Ruoxue!

Listening to their conversation, an outsider might think they were exchanging sarcastic remarks and arguing fiercely, but upon closer listening, one would realize that only very close people would quarrel like this.

In other words, their relationship is so good that they can argue!

Qi Yu harbored hostility towards Ouyang Ruoxue because he always felt that Ouyang Ruoxue was dangerous, and his intuition told him to get away from her as soon as possible.

Moreover, the feeling is growing stronger now. For some reason, Qi Yu has already released his true energy, and everything within a five-kilometer radius is under his control.

If Ouyang Ruoxue makes any unusual moves that could harm Su Yue, he will take immediate action.

As Ouyang Ruoxue sipped her tea, she could sense Qi Yu's hostility and wariness towards her, and she knew the reason.

Qi Yu was afraid that he would hurt Su Yue!

But she would not harm Su Yue. Even if she were to attack Su Yue, it would be through a fair and square challenge to defeat her. She would never resort to sneak attacks.

Moreover, her target wasn't Su Yue, but Qi Yu!

The boat reached the center of the lake, and Ouyang Ruoxue came out of the boat's awning and sat at the bow.

Qi Yu glanced at it briefly before looking away. If Ouyang Ruoxue wanted to escape, she could have simply jumped down, which would have made things much easier.

At least I don't have to be on guard against her like I am now!

Qi Yu continued to pole the small boat, which then transformed on the water's surface.

Suddenly, Qi Yu abruptly turned his head and looked straight ahead.

Qi Yu's true energy surged, and golden light flashed around his body. In the next instant, Qi Yu appeared next to Ouyang Ruoxue and immediately threw the bamboo pole in his hand.

Bang!

An invisible energy collided with the bamboo pole, causing it to shatter instantly, exploding like a firework and turning into a shower of debris, like a snowfall.

This attack method, which is neither perceptible nor visible, is a unique technique of the Purple Qi Pavilion!

It's like hitting a cow from across a mountain!

Qi Yu experienced it firsthand back then!

The attack just now was aimed at Ouyang Ruoxue.

Did the people from Ziqi Pavilion launch an attack on Ouyang Ruoxue?

This doesn't seem right at all, but it's the truth.

A self-inflicted injury ruse? Or what?

Before he could think any further, the terrifying supernatural technique struck again, but this time the target was not Qi Yu, but Ouyang Ruoxue. Even though Qi Yu could barely sense it, he couldn't stop it all, and some of them slipped through and hit Ouyang Ruoxue.

Ouyang Ruoxue groaned, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. The next moment, she swayed and fell into Qingxin Lake.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Worthy Death

Pfft!

Ouyang Ruoxue fell into the water and sank immediately, but Qi Yu did not rush to save her.

Instead, he calmly watched Ouyang Ruoxue sink, remaining motionless.

The moment Ouyang Ruoxue fell into the water, the surrounding attacks stopped. He realized that rescuing Ouyang Ruoxue was actually quite simple.
