My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Lu Shou was rather carefree, and he was somewhat surprised to see that Qi Yu's hair was so long and had turned white.

Qi Yu had been asked this question at least twenty times, and he was getting annoyed.

"I went to the far north ice plains and came back white. I don't know why!" Qi Yu said helplessly.

Zhou Yan frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing going to the far north ice plains, Master? That's a forbidden area!"

Qi Yu was somewhat exasperated by Zhou Yan's form of address, saying, "Brother Zhou, you can just call me by my name. 'Master' sounds so awkward!"

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "Etiquette cannot be disregarded!"

Qi Yu is now the head coach, but he still doesn't feel comfortable being called the head coach by others.

However, Zhou Yan seemed very determined and had no intention of changing his mind.

"Qi Yu, how about we have another match?" Liu Xuan suddenly said as they walked.

Qi Yu was stunned. Back then, when his dantian was destroyed, he fought Liu Xuan bare-knuckle with no use of true qi.

At the same time, Qi Yu also realized that Liu Xuan was just a battle maniac.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yu nodded and smiled, "Sure! You set a time, I'm available anytime!"

Seeing that Qi Yu had agreed, Liu Xuan's expression became excited, and he said, "Then let's go now. I feel like I can make another breakthrough if I fight you!"

He is now a grandmaster, and it is very difficult to advance further; only through diligent study and practice over time can he achieve this.

After all, no one is like Qi Yu and Su Yue, who can break through easily.

Even the true energy within Qi Yu's body doesn't require him to actively meditate and circulate; it can circulate on its own. Qi Yu is cultivating every moment.

In terms of true qi reserves, Qi Yu is now second to none.

Su Yue, on the other hand, followed the path of purity. Su Yue had less true qi, but it was extremely pure, and this kind of true qi had amazing destructive power.

Liu Xuan took a rather unconventional path. He trained his physical body, specifically through external martial arts, relying on being beaten to temper his body and internal energy.

Having agreed to fight Liu Xuan, the group led Qi Yu and Mo Wen to a very quiet valley.

The surrounding area consisted of black rocks, with little vegetation and wild animals.

Liu Xuan and the others stood in the center of the valley, while Zhou Yan, Liu Qing, Lu Shou, and others watched from the cliff above the valley.

Qi Yu was renowned, and even though they had gone into seclusion, they still heard news of him.

They also wanted to see what Qi Yu was really capable of, and whether he was as monstrous as the rumors suggested.

After all, according to rumors, Qi Yu is even more terrifying and monstrous than Su Yue.

They had known Su Yue since they were children, and they believed that Qi Yu could be on par with Su Yue.

But if you say that Qi Yu is even more monstrous than Su Yue, they would never believe it.

Only they knew how terrifying Su Yue was. When Su Yue got serious, even a Grandmaster of the Dao Integration Realm was like a chick in front of her.

"Brother Liu Xuan, I will do my best!" Qi Yu said earnestly.

Liu Xuan chuckled and said, "That's for the best. Don't hold back. If you do, you're disrespecting me. Come on!"

Liu Xuan looked excited, then got into a fighting stance, waiting for Qi Yu to attack.

"I'm coming, be careful!"

Liu Xuan's expression turned serious, and he became alert and prepared for battle.

Qi Yu moved his feet slightly, and then his figure suddenly disappeared, startling Liu Xuan and the spectators.

Before Liu Xuan could recover from her shock, Qi Yu suddenly appeared behind her, his long, slender hand landing on her lower back.

Before Liu Xuan could react, a tremendous force struck his lower back, as if he had been hit by a rhinoceros, and the world spun around him.

Bang!

A deafening roar resounded, startling all the birds and beasts in Qingxuan Valley.

In the secluded valley, countless pebbles fell with a soft rustling sound, while Liu Xuan was firmly embedded in the hard rock cliff face, the kind that couldn't be pried off no matter what.

One strike, and the outcome is decided!

------------

Chapter Fifty Alliance

After being pried off the rock wall, Liu Xuan was already bruised and swollen. Qi Yu attacked him from behind, so Liu Xuan hit the wall with his face.

And this is what happens when you catch it in your face.

However, Liu Xuan was not angry or resentful. On the contrary, he was very excited and happy, which showed that he was a masochist.

The others also looked at Qi Yu with strange expressions.

They finally understood just how strong Qi Yu was; Liu Xuan was defeated in a single blow, and that was probably only after Qi Yu had shown mercy.

One can only say that he truly deserves to be called the head coach.

……

After taking Qi Yu to the Ice Cave, the rest of the people came out.

Liu Xuan and the others took Mo Wen for a stroll in Qingxuan Valley. They heard about Qi Yu's achievements and were all speechless.

To survive an attack by more than thirty grandmasters while injured is truly astonishing.

At the same time, they also realized that Qi Yu had unknowingly become incredibly powerful.

Zhou Yan and Liu Qing had a more direct and intuitive understanding of each other.

Because when Qi Yu first came to Qingxuan Valley, it was they who received him.

"Qi Yu has become so strong. It really feels like things have changed!" Liu Qing said.

Mo Wen remained calm and said, "You've been through so much and still survived. You're capable of having his kind of strength too."

Liu Qing was speechless; he did want to experience it!

But he can't even leave Qingxuan Valley, so how can he experience it?

Qingxuan Valley is a secluded sect that does not allow its disciples to travel outside.

Only disciples carrying out special missions are allowed to leave the valley.

"You really joined Taoism?" Liu Qing turned to look at Mo Wen and asked.

A second-rank official, and from the Mohist school at that, joining the Taoist school? That seems rather strange!

Mo Wen shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm joining Taoism, it's just that I'm cooperating with Qi Yu and temporarily helping him."

He just wanted to get back the "Kaiwu" book, and if he could also destroy the Ziqi Pavilion to avenge his family, that would be a good thing too.

However, destroying the Purple Qi Pavilion seems somewhat unrealistic, after all, the Purple Qi Pavilion has existed for thousands of years and has connections with sages.

In addition, there is a Tianya Haige (End of the Earth Pavilion) next to it, whose historical background is as profound as that of Taoism.

To be honest, Mo Wen didn't really think highly of Qi Yu.

Because Taoism is currently too weak. If the former leader were still alive, with his strength as a near-sage, he could easily crush the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Heavenly Edge Sea Pavilion.

However, Taoism currently only has one grandmaster, Qi Yu. Although Qi Yu is incredibly powerful, he is ultimately just one person.

Without thinking, Mo Wen looked at Liu Qing and asked, "Do you want to come with us?"

Liu Qing was taken aback and asked, "What?"

"Let's do something big!" Mo Wen's lips curled up, like an old fox.

He now understood what Qingxuan Valley was. The disciples inside longed for the outside world, but were unable to leave due to the rules of the valley.

This constant suppression only fueled the disciples' curiosity about the outside world.

Liu Qing was somewhat tempted, but after glancing at Zhou Yan beside her, she sighed.

"I really want to go out, but there are rules in Qingxuan Valley that prevent me from leaving!"

Zhou Yan glanced at Liu Qing and said, "That's only for disciples who haven't reached the first rank. Disciples above the first rank can serve as elders, and elders can freely enter and leave Qingxuan Valley."

Liu Qing was taken aback, then her eyes widened, and she asked, "How come I didn't know?"

"Haven't you noticed that we don't see our senior uncles and elder brothers from Qingxuan Valley very often?" Zhou Yan said.

Now that you mention it, it's really true!

The disciples of Qingxuan Valley are mostly young, and the older generation of elders are nowhere to be seen; only the Valley Master remains.

"I thought they were in seclusion!" Liu Qing exclaimed, her eyes wide.

Zhou Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "This is an unwritten rule. I told you to stop going to Yuehe Bay with Lu Shou to spy and to focus on your cultivation, but you wouldn't listen."

Liu Qing was speechless. He and Lu Shou were already famous in Qingxuan Valley, but it was a bad reputation.

Because after drinking, he and Lu Shou would go to Yuehe Bay to see the 'scenery'.

Qi Yu had gone there with the two of them before, and Liu Qing was caught and beaten up.

Liu Xuan, who was standing to the side, fell into deep thought when she heard Mo Wen ask if he wanted to go together.

The cultivation method he practiced required constant combat to advance in rank; there was no way to improve within Qingxuan Valley.

He is now a grandmaster, and ordinary junior brothers and sisters are no match for him. Fighting them is stress-free and doesn't serve any training purpose.

He has recently been considering whether to travel, and going to Taoism with Qi Yu is one option.

Because Qi Yu is strong enough, sparring with him allows me to use my full strength, putting a lot of pressure on me.

"Senior Brother, aren't you going out?" Liu Xuan asked.

Zhou Yan sighed helplessly and said, "I also want to go out for a walk, but my master doesn't agree. He wants to handle the affairs of Qingxuan Valley on his behalf."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuan laughed and turned his head away, a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother!"

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Wasn't this originally your responsibility?"

Liu Heguang intends to pass the position of Valley Master to Zhou Yan, so he lets Zhou Yan handle the affairs of Qingxuan Valley, gradually delegating power and allowing Zhou Yan to adapt first.

Logically, it should be Liu Xuan or Liu Qing who succeeds as Valley Master, but these two brothers are simply not cut out for it.
