My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Ouyang Ruoxue took a sip of green tea, her expression calm and serene, showing great composure.

"It's on you, isn't it?" Qi Yu asked calmly.

Killing Ouyang Ruoxue was simple, just a matter of a thought. After all, Ouyang Ruoxue was only at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage, not even at the Dao Integration stage, so killing her was extremely easy.

Ouyang Ruoxue knew what Qi Yu was asking, and nodded quite frankly.

"It's on me, but I don't intend to hand it over to you. You want me to give it to you in exchange for your life? Well, you're going to be disappointed."

The Purple Qi Pavilion is a major sect with a history of thousands of years. It even dared to scheme against the Mo family, which produced a sage, which shows its strength and audacity.

Qi Yu simply couldn't believe that such a powerful force would give up a sacred relic without it.

Before Nan Yutian died, he did not use the sacred relic, otherwise I might have really had to go through a lot of trouble.

Because the Purple Qi Pavilion possesses quite a few sacred relics.

According to Qi Yu's intelligence gathering, the Purple Qi Pavilion possesses four relics that possess their own subspace.

Even a force like Taoism, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, only has six items, while the Purple Qi Pavilion, a force that has been passed down for thousands of years, has four. This shows just how powerful the Purple Qi Pavilion has been for thousands of years.

The sacred relics passed down by the Mohist school are also in the Ziqi Pavilion.

Those were puppets created by the Mohist sages. If they had enough energy, they could even unleash power no less than that of a sage.

However, with the end of the Age of Saints, this relic was sealed away, and it was virtually impossible to gather the energy needed to power the relic puppet.

This sacred relic is currently in the Purple Qi Pavilion, or rather, on Ouyang Ruoxue's person.

“I killed Ziqi Pavilion and your master Nan Yutian, so I don’t mind killing you.”

Qi Yu was reminding Ouyang Ruoxue that she no longer had the right to bargain with him.

If it weren't for Su Yue and Su Yun, I would have already taken action.

"I know, so what? You think this will scare me?" Ouyang Ruoxue glanced sideways, her tone slightly sarcastic.

“I know this won’t scare you, but if you really die, your Purple Qi Pavilion will truly be gone.”

"If you live, you can rebuild the Purple Qi Pavilion, and you also have the chance to kill me to avenge your master and the sect disciples. Your life is no longer just your own."

"It also belongs to those who died in your Purple Qi Pavilion; their hopes were all on you."

"So I hope you'll be smart and not test my patience and limits. Otherwise, you really will die, and even Su Yun couldn't save you!"

Nan Yutian entrusted the flame to Ouyang Ruoxue, hoping that she could carry it on and one day rebuild the Ziqi Pavilion to avenge them. That's why he died so calmly.

Although it's a pity that we can't let him die in despair and misery, there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, I had delayed for too long, giving them time to react.

Nan Yutian is disgusting enough to have chosen Ouyang Ruoxue because of her relationship with Su Yue, making it difficult for him to make a move.

As long as Su Yun doesn't die, he will be Ouyang Ruoxue's most reliable protective shield.

Nan Yutian's guess was correct, because Su Yun was standing in the bamboo grove outside the courtyard.

As long as Qi Yu shows any sign of making a move, the Corpse God will launch an attack on him.

This is definitely the work of a seasoned simp. If you can't have the one you love, why not just let go?

Qi Yu looked at Ouyang Ruoxue with some helplessness and said, "I don't care about the secret manuals and relics of your Ziqi Pavilion, but you have to return the things of the Mo family to the Mo family!"

This was the biggest concession Qi Yu had made. With Su Yun guarding outside, killing Ouyang Ruoxue would be quite difficult.

Ouyang Ruoxue narrowed her eyes and frowned as she asked, "You're letting me off the hook like this? Aren't you afraid I'll retaliate against you later?"

Qi Yu sighed helplessly and said, "If I could, I really would like to kill you once and for all, but I promised Su Yue that I wouldn't kill you!"

"You'd better watch yourself. If you want to kill me to avenge your Purple Qi Pavilion and your master, you can come find me. For Su Yue's sake, I'll give you three chances."

"However, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. I am the one who destroyed your Purple Qi Pavilion and killed your master. You can deal with me however you want, just don't involve others."

Ouyang Ruoxue frowned slightly, about to say something, when Qi Yu stood up.

"Put away your supernatural abilities. You can't kill me. I know exactly what you're thinking!"

Qi Yu's eyes turned slightly red, and his gaze towards Ouyang Ruoxue was extremely indifferent.

Looking into those dark red eyes, Ouyang Ruoxue couldn't help but shudder. She felt as if she had been seen through, as if all her secrets had been exposed.

In fact, her feeling was correct. Qi Yu had done something to the Corpse God Guanxing, and Qi Yu could also use some of the abilities that Guanxing possessed.

For example, mind reading!

Qi Yu understood Ouyang Ruoxue's thoughts perfectly, which was why he relied on them to talk to her.

If Ouyang Ruoxue has any crazy ideas, he will kill her.

But Ouyang Ruoxue didn't have that; all she wanted was to die together with herself.

Unlike her master, Nan Yutian, Ouyang Ruoxue still had some bottom line; at least she didn't have any intention of taking revenge on the people around her.

Otherwise, she would be a corpse by now.

This is the reason why Qi Yu was willing to let Ouyang Ruoxue go; the agreement with Su Yue could only be used as a reference.

When faced with such a major issue of right and wrong, decisive action is the best solution.

"Miss Ouyang, if you have nowhere to go, come to the academy. I'll give you the chance to kill me!"

Before leaving, Qi Yu said this.

Ouyang Ruoxue had nowhere else to go; Blood God Island was ultimately not her final destination.

Qi Yu, through his mind-reading ability, clearly saw Ouyang Ruoxue's thoughts; she indeed disliked Su Yun.

The only reason she didn't leave was because she didn't know how to apologize to Su Yue.

Because of her, she was poisoned by the datura flower. Because of this, she felt guilty towards Su Yue, so she stayed on Blood God Island, which was a kind of self-imposed confinement.

Ouyang Ruoxue has a very sound moral compass, which is why Qi Yu said that last sentence.

Firstly, Ouyang Ruoxue truly had nowhere to go; she had leveled all seventeen peaks of Mangshan.

Secondly, if Ouyang Ruoxue continues to stay on Blood God Island, it will cause considerable trouble for both Su Yun and Su Yue.

Especially for Su Yun, Ouyang Ruoxue has almost become his inner demon.

Thirdly, Qi Yu was worried about Ouyang Ruoxue. With her right under his nose, he could keep an eye on her, since he had the ability to read minds and could detect any unusual movements from her.

Qi Yu left, and Ouyang Ruoxue stared at the teacup in silence.

Does she hate Qi Yu?

The answer is yes!

Because Qi Yu killed her mentor and destroyed her family.

Even though Nan Yutian wasn't as good to her as she imagined, and only used her as a pawn, she was still the one who raised her to adulthood.

So just now, she did intend to use a suicide attack to try and kill Qi Yu here.

Qi Yu is very strong. Normal methods cannot kill him, after all, she is only at the Nascent Soul stage and has not even reached the Dao Integration stage.

She didn't have Su Yue's extraordinary talent, nor did she have Su Yun's unwavering belief in sacrificing herself to become a demon and eradicating her own evil thoughts.

She was just an ordinary woman!

All she has is this one life.

She intended to use her special technique once Qi Yu lowered his guard, but from beginning to end, Qi Yu's aura remained locked on her.

Qi Yu even seemed to be able to read his mind.

Those dark red eyes, with just one glance, robbed her of all fighting spirit.

That feeling of being seen through, inside and out, with everything laid bare and completely exposed to the opponent's eyes, was something she had never experienced before.

She had never heard of Taoism having the supernatural ability to read minds.

Qi Yu is more powerful than I imagined, and I don't know many of his trump cards. Killing him will require careful planning.

Going to the academy might be a good choice; only by understanding him can we find a way to kill him.

Qi Yu is indeed very strong now!

Ouyang Ruoxue's clear eyes finally turned away from the teacup and looked in the direction Qi Yu had left.

……

Qi Yu walked out of the courtyard, but instead of heading towards Su Yue's residence, he went into the bamboo forest.

It is early spring, and there are still withered yellow bamboo leaves on the ground that have not yet decomposed, forming a thick layer.

Su Yun stood in the bamboo forest, dressed in a long black robe and with his hair in a bun, looking incredibly energetic. His handsome face was slightly pale, a stark contrast to his past appearance.

The current Su Yun has lost some of her heroic spirit and gained more of a feminine touch.

In the past, Su Yun gave people the impression of being aloof and cold, looking at everyone as if they were trash on the ground, as if he were the most powerful, with an arrogant and domineering demeanor.

At this moment, although Su Yun still had the same expressionless face, his eyes were different.

Those indifferent eyes seemed to hold nothing in them, a detached gaze befitting a god looking down upon ants.

He's lost some of his arrogance and gained more indifference.

Moreover, at this moment, Su Yun was emanating the same aura as Lin Ruoxi, a disgusting and chilling aura.

Su Yun was also looking at Qi Yu, but her expression remained unchanged, with her hands behind her back.

The bamboo forest was quiet, and no one spoke; a strange atmosphere permeated the air.

After a long pause, Qi Yu finally spoke, his tone filled with emotion and helplessness.

"Indeed, there was a reason why the Taoist sages listed 'Slaying the Three Corpses' as a forbidden technique!"

Corpse gods can influence one's mind, and as the Corpse God grows stronger, the master's will is also subtly affected.

Su Yun has not yet successfully severed his corpse; he is still only a Grandmaster of the Dao Integration Realm, not a Quasi-Saint, and the second Corpse God has not yet appeared.

But at this moment, Su Yun gave Qi Yu the exact same feeling as Lin Ruoxi.

Su Yun himself was physically strong and did not need to merge with his own Corpse God. In fact, Su Yun even fed his own soul to the Corpse God.

If Lin Ruoxi's fusion with the Corpse God was a physical connection, then Su Yun's feeding of his soul to the Corpse God was a fusion of souls, making him far more compatible than Lin Ruoxi.

"You don't need to concern yourself with my affairs. Taking care of your little sister and the two children is what you should be worried about. You don't think you'll need my help, do you?" Su Yun said expressionlessly.
