My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Inside the residence of Marquis Guanyong, Lin Yuchen looked in the direction of the imperial palace, her brows furrowed.

Qi Yu's arrival was too fast and somewhat unexpected.

Logically speaking, even if he had won, his condition should have been similar to Lin Ruoxi's; he would at least need some rest.

But Qi Yu charged straight over!

Lin Yuchen glanced at Qin Xiyao, who remained calm, and felt even more uneasy.

With a knife to her neck, she remained so calm. Did she believe that Qi Yu could definitely save her?

Qin Xiyao is at least a half-step Grandmaster, and everyone in this room is a Grandmaster, so it would be easy to subdue Qin Xiyao's family.

Qin Shuhuai lost an arm and his dantian was destroyed; now he's just an ordinary person.

Li Qiushui is also a half-step Grandmaster.

But they were all calm, as if they were certain that Qi Yu would come to save them and would be able to do so.

Seemingly sensing Lin Yuchen's unease, Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, it's incredibly foolish of you to use our entire family to threaten Qi Yu!"

"You're acting rashly in a panic! If you had fled and hidden immediately after learning of Lin Ruoxi's failure, you might have escaped this calamity. Now, you have no chance at all!"

Lin Yuchen frowned and asked, "Didn't Qi Yu have an affair with your daughter? He even went on a solo mission to seven kingdoms for your daughter's sake. Wasn't he afraid I would kill you both?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiyao turned her head, expressionless, and calmly looked at Lin Yuchen, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

They arrested me and took me hostage without even investigating the facts.

This also shows how terrifying Qi Yu was in their eyes; they were so panicked that they couldn't care less about anything else and were running for their lives without thinking!

The young master of Tianya Haige, once hailed as the most handsome man, has now become a frightened bird, cowardly as a mouse, which is quite amusing.

Lin Yuchen noticed Qin Xiyao's gaze and became neurotic under the fear and irritation brought by Qi Yu.

"Are you making fun of me?" Lin Yuchen asked in a deep voice.

Qin Xiyao remained silent. She was not a talkative person to begin with, and now she was even less inclined to speak.

Lin Yuchen looked at Qin Xiyao, and after a long while smiled, said, "You should like Qi Yu, right?"

Qin Xiyao's delicate eyebrows twitched, but she didn't say anything.

Lin Yuchen didn't care and continued, "You like Qi Yu, but Qi Yu's heart is only with Su Yue. However, I can tell you a little secret."

"Qi Yu, he has already divorced Su Yue, and it was Su Yue who initiated the divorce. Your chance has come!"

Qin Xiyao finally showed some emotion and involuntarily frowned.

Lin Yuchen told her all this only to disturb her own peace of mind so that she could talk to Qi Yu later.

However, she still didn't expect that Qi Yu and Su Yue would actually divorce.

She witnessed Qi Yu and Su Yue's relationship back then, so how could they divorce?

Is it really power that changed them?

"Young Master Lin, what impressive skills!" Qi Yu's voice came from outside the door.

Qi Yu's voice was like a death knell tolling, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion felt a chill run down their spines.

Lin Yuchen moved closer to Qin Xiyao, gathering true energy in his palms, ready to act immediately should anything change occur.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the door was opened, and Qi Yu's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

His white hair was loose and tied back with a ribbon. He wore a black scholar's robe and looked very dashing and unrestrained.

In terms of appearance, Lin Yuchen is universally acknowledged as the best, even more feminine than a woman, because she possesses a touch of effeminate charm.

In terms of temperament and appearance, Qi Yu is no less impressive. In fact, Qi Yu has a more carefree and unrestrained air about him than Lin Yuchen.

Everyone says Lin Yuchen is a recognized handsome man, but now, he seems to be just so-so.

Lin Yuchen also looked at Qi Yu, and the two stared at each other, sizing each other up.

When the Changsheng Temple was being besieged, he and his father, Lin Shaolong, went to the capital.

However, he was outside the city at the time, and Qi Yu was carried out by his brother-in-law, Su Yun.

His original mission was to kill Qi Yu, who was already seriously injured, halfway through the journey.

At that time, Qi Yu had already fallen into a coma because he had destroyed his dantian, and Su Yunyuan did not have the strength he had now, so it could be said that Qi Yu was bound to die.

But Qi Lin stepped in and blocked him!

Qi Yu has changed a lot since then!

"Master, we meet again!"

Qi Yu nodded and smiled, "Yes! We meet again, but this should be the last time we meet!"

Lin Yuchen's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She then glanced at Qin Xiyao and raised her hand to grab Qin Xiyao's snow-white neck.

"Master, I just want to find a way for my Tianya Haige to survive. If you are willing to spare Tianya Haige, we are willing to submit to you!"

Qi Yu did not answer immediately, but looked at Qin Xiyao instead.

Even with Lin Yuchen choking her, Qin Xiyao remained aloof and unchanged from before.

Qi Yu laughed, a genuine smile from the heart.

Qin Xiyao is still the same Qin Xiyao!

The people I used to know have either changed or left. The higher you climb, the lonelier you become.

Even though he is now a near-saint, he can't get everything.

So seeing Qin Xiyao was just like before, Qi Yu felt very happy.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li's family have been taken away by Su Yue, who is now settling them in and taking care of them. Qi Yu is very relieved.

But inevitably, I'll also mention missing them.

"Miss Qin, how have you been?"

Qin Xiyao also looked at Qi Yu, her gaze somewhat complicated. The last time they met was also here.

Qi Yu came to deliver something—a blood ginseng that could somewhat repair the dantian.

"It has been quite a while since we last met. Young Master Qi has changed a lot!" Qin Xiyao said calmly.

When I first met Qi Yu, he was surrounded and killed by several fifth-rank assassins.

In just two short years, the scholar who couldn't even lift a finger has become the head of Taoism, able to decide the life and death of millions with a single word.

Qi Yu could only smile bitterly; he had indeed changed, both in appearance and in his inner self.

"Miss Qin, this is not the place for reminiscing. Let me finish my business first, then we can have a proper chat!"

As he spoke, Qi Yu turned to look at Lin Yuchen, his pupils gradually turning blood red.

In Qi Yu's perception, the Marquis's mansion now has 132 people, of whom 54 are Grandmaster martial artists.

Without a doubt, these fifty-four grandmasters are doomed to die.

The rest are mostly first or second rank, and should be elites from various forces. If that's the case, then wiping them all out is an option.

"Young Master Lin, do you have any last words? If they are not excessive, I can pass them on for you!" Qi Yu said with a smile.

Lin Yuchen's back was already soaked with sweat. The moment Qi Yu stared at her with those blood-red eyes, her soul seemed to tremble.

He felt like he had nowhere to hide!

The only hope for survival now is Qin Xiyao!

as long as

"Young Master Lin, you'd better not try. In my domain, I am the ruler. With just a thought from me, you will be completely reduced to ashes."

Qi Yu interrupted Lin Yuchen's unrealistic fantasies. He had obtained the ability to read minds from the Corpse God, which allowed him to see through anyone's thoughts.

Lin Yuchen's expression changed drastically, then she glanced at Qin Xiyao and gathered true energy in her palm.

He was going to take a gamble and planned to leave with Qin Xiyao, keeping her as a hostage.

At that moment, Qi Yu raised his hand and pointed at Lin Yuchen.

"Thunder!"

Boom!

The clear summer night was suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning, which hit Lin Yuchen squarely on the head.

A terrifying bolt of lightning struck, and Lin Yuchen was transformed into a streak of white light, with arcs of electricity flashing around her, making her look like a dazzling firework.

Qin Xiyao, however, was replaced by another Grandmaster by Qi Yu the instant Lin Yuchen was struck by lightning.

Tianya Haige possesses a unique skill called "Shifting Positions," which allows one to swap positions with anything.

In the realm of sub-saints, as long as one understands the principle of substitution, or in other words, dares to imagine it, one can achieve it.

The realm of the near-saints is an independent space. Within it, your strength is directly proportional to the extent of your imagination and experience.

Lightning strikes come and go quickly.

Lin Yuchen and the Grandmaster who was replaced have turned to ashes and died completely. Even their souls have no chance of becoming vengeful spirits.

However, Qi Yu did not stop there. Instead, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

pat!

The snap of the fingers acted like a detonator, and throughout the mansion, the sounds of porcelain shattering on the ground echoed one after another.

The two grandmasters who had subdued Qin Shuhuai and his wife were covered in frost, and then their entire bodies were frozen solid, from the inside out, until they shattered and turned into ice shards on the ground.

Qin Shuhuai and Li Qiushui narrowed their eyes, feeling somewhat horrified.

Even a master who has attained the Dao is as fragile as a piece of paper in front of Qi Yu.

Qi Yu could kill them with a mere flick of his finger.

After dealing with the enemies in the Marquis's mansion, Qi Yu looked at Qin Shuhuai and his wife and smiled, "Lord Marquis and Princess, I'm sorry you had to suffer because of me!"

Qin Shuhuai shook his head, helped Li Qiushui up, and then looked around for Qin Xiyao.

Qi Yu closed his eyes and then used the teleportation technique again to transfer Qin Xiyao back.

However, this time, Qin Xiyao's position was a little too far forward, and she appeared right in front of Qi Yu.
