My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

One by one, the wine bowls were smashed on the ground, shattering into pieces, just like their determination.

Lin Ruoxi did not smash the bowl, but instead handed it to the maidservant beside her.

Those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little.

Qi Yu's actions have offended too many people.

Or rather, they should have been on opposite sides from the very beginning!

From the moment Qi Yu began to display his saintly demeanor, he had already touched upon the interests of most people.

Qi Yu's actions now are merely a form of retaliation, since they were the ones who struck first.

But who can say for sure whether this is right or wrong?

Might makes right!

History is always written by the victors!

Lin Ruoxi became the leader of the anti-traitor alliance. Thirty-seven righteous forces joined, eleven dynasties provided support, and the demonic path secretly provided assistance.

The alliance is formidable, with countless troops and warriors already assembled in Jinshui City, the former capital of the Great Ding Dynasty, totaling 350,000.

A steady stream of provisions and supplies began to converge on the Great Ding Dynasty, and the east and north were in a state of war preparation.

To punish Qi Yu, a pretext is needed, and the pretext is that the destruction of Luoyang Sect, Ziqi Pavilion, and even Tianyin Valley and Lihuo Dynasty are all attributed to Qi Yu.

Even more outrageous is that some people claim that Qi Yu deliberately lifted the seal on the actual Fengdu Ancient City.

Basically, anything that could smear Qi Yu was pushed onto him.

Even when the neighbor's old sow got pregnant, people tried to pin the blame on Qi Yu.

Qi Yu is now synonymous with evil, a heretic, who acts perversely and harms the world.

The coalition needs a legitimate reason to attack Qi Yu; these negative comments were all spread by the coalition beforehand.

The truth is mixed with the falsehood, but the goal is to condemn Qi Yu to the side of evil.

This way, they can appear to have a legitimate cause, acting on behalf of Heaven, rather than harboring personal grudges.

Some people believe it, some people don't!

After all, many people still remember what Qi Yu did, and Qi Yu's reputation was really high.

Taoism and Qi Yu cannot be smeared by simply stirring up trouble.

Regardless, this matter has already begun.

In the old site of the Li Huo Dynasty, Qi Yu had just dealt with the demonic beasts of a city and completed its recapture when he heard the news from Lin Ruoxi's side, and couldn't help but smile.

You evil Taoist priest!

I never imagined that I would already have a title before I even became a saint!

Although this doesn't count as being 'honored', it has at least made him famous.

Lin Ruoxi wants to play chess with herself, this time with the sky as the chessboard and all living beings as the pieces.

He and Lin Ruoxi have this strength because they are both powerful enough, not only in their own abilities but also in the influence of the forces they control, making them behemoths capable of impacting the continent.

This will be a grand contest!

Lin Ruoxi was already preparing to make her move, and the place she would place was the Li Huo Dynasty!

The Li Huo Dynasty is located in the center of the continent, rich in mineral resources, and is also the dividing point between east and west. In other words, the Li Huo Dynasty is stuck in the very center of the continent.

Whoever conquers the Li Huo Dynasty will gain the upper hand!

Previously, no one dared to compete with him because those forces were too scattered, so it wasn't worth it.

But now there are only two forces: the 'evil faction' led by Taoism and himself, and the 'righteous faction' led by Xuanzong Lin Ruoxi.

Am I really evil?

Evil!

Qi Yu never considered himself a good person, at most not a bad one.

The intelligence reports that an army of 100,000 is gathering and is determined to kill Qi Yu and the Taoist sect.

Three hundred and fifty thousand, of which there should be over ten thousand martial artists.

If Lin Ruoxi doesn't make a move, Qi Yu alone can take them down.

However, if Lin Ruoxi takes action to restrain Qi Yu, their highest combat strength will cancel each other out. What matters is the number of Grandmasters and troops under their command.

The Great Qing Dynasty fully supports Qi Yu, but the entire Great Qing Dynasty army only numbers a little over 60,000.

The enemy and our forces are roughly six times stronger, and our side certainly has more Grandmasters than Qi Yu's side.

Qi Yu is at a complete disadvantage!

Despite this disadvantage, Qi Yu was not afraid, because he also had a trump card.

The Holy Light Crossbow that he and Mo Wen researched has already been put into use.

Even a Grandmaster can be killed by the Holy Light Crossbow.

The bolts of the Holy Light Crossbow are specially made; once fired, they will explode upon encountering external force.

In the face of this weapon, numerical superiority is not very effective.

Because a soldier equipped with a Holy Light Crossbow can easily kill a dozen or even twenty soldiers.

A hundred warriors equipped with Holy Light Crossbows can surround and kill a Grandmaster at the Qi Condensation stage without taking any damage.

These are all things that Qi Yu has personally tested!

Moreover, his weapons are not limited to the Holy Light Crossbow.

In the afternoon, Qi Yu returned to Hanqiu City to meet Ji Ling.

After all, war is about to break out.

Moreover, there is the ancient city of Fengdu lurking in the shadows. The mechanism of the ancient city of Fengdu is that it can turn the souls of the dead into vengeful spirits.

Qi Yu didn't understand the principles behind it, and he didn't really believe in the concept of reincarnation.

Qi Yu had previously observed that after a person dies, their soul dissipates between heaven and earth, rather than entering some underworld to be reincarnated.

The ancient city of Fengdu can also be considered a sacred object; its function is to prevent the soul from dissipating and to worsen the soul.

Going to war with Lin Ruoxi will inevitably result in deaths, and many vengeful spirits will appear.

The Dao Ancestor did leave behind white hair to prevent people from turning into evil spirits after death, but this would cost a lot, and he needed Ji Ling's support.

Qi Yu met Ji Ling in the imperial study. She was still dressed in a palace dress and with her long hair loose, just like before.

Ji Ling is very beautiful, on par with Lin Ruoxi, and she is also the ruler of a country.

She's already twenty-five this year, but her harem is still empty. I don't know what she's thinking.

Qi Yu told Ji Ling his request, and Ji Ling agreed.

Now Ji Ling is very accommodating to him; she will agree to almost anything Qi Yu asks for.

Having dealt with Ji Ling, Qi Yu couldn't help but think of another unexpected factor.

Su Yue!

In Qi Yu's courtyard in Jiangting Village, Jiangzhou City, Su Yue and Xu Shuqin each held a child, while Su Chengying locked the door.

Su Yue ignored Qi Wen slapping and scratching her face and calmly watched the door gradually lock.

Actually, it doesn't matter if it's not locked, because Li Ming basically doesn't have anything left.

It's less about locking the main gate and more about locking up other things.

Su Chengying locked the door, walked over, and frowned when he saw Su Yue staring blankly.

"You made the decision yourself, so don't regret it. Who are you trying to impress by acting like this?"

Su Chengying's words were somewhat harsh because he was genuinely angry and furious.

Now, Lin Ruoxi has united most of the righteous forces to wage war against Qi Yu, putting Qi Yu in an extremely dangerous situation.

If one is not careful, Taoism, the Dayun Dynasty, and Qi Yu will all disappear.

At this critical moment, Qi Yu undoubtedly needs support the most. With the current strength of the Blood God Sect, if they join forces with Qi Yu, Lin Ruoxi's alliance is utterly useless and vulnerable.

But Su Yue chose to remain a bystander!

She refused to help, refused to help Qi Yu, and refused to help her own husband!

She was even prepared to divorce Qi Yu!

This is why he was angry. Ever since the former head coach, who was also Qi Yu's teacher, died, he had delegated power to Su Yue.

Although he is the nominal leader of the Blood God Sect, he has no real power. Everyone in the Blood God Sect listens to Su Yue.

He wanted to help Qi Yu, but he was powerless to do so.

Su Yue raised her hand and grasped Qi Wen's fair and delicate hand, her face calm and expressionless.

"I should have listened to you, Father. Or maybe Qi Yu and I were just not a good match!"

"If he hadn't met me, he would still be that unsuccessful scholar in Jiangting Village, tricking children out of their candied hawthorns every day, and living a peaceful life with an ordinary woman."

“If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have met Mu Fengchun, wouldn’t have entered the government office as a yamen runner, and wouldn’t have met Li Ming.”

"If it weren't for me, Father, you would never have written to the leader, Qi Yu would not have become the leader's disciple, and he would not have come into those people's sights, and would be hated by everyone like he is now."

"Perhaps our relationship was a mistake from the very beginning!"

"Regret? I'm already regretting it!"

As Su Yue spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down her face and dripped onto Qi Wen's cheek.

She learned about the future from Lin Ruoxi, and she tried to hypnotize herself into believing it was fake, that Lin Ruoxi was deceiving her.

Given her current abilities and knowledge of many things, coupled with her subsequent deductions, that is indeed the truth.

She wants to change, so now she must keep her distance from Qi Yu.

She had to take a different path to avoid Lin Ruoxi showing her that ending.

She had to harden her heart, otherwise the outcome would not change.
