Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

88. Seek justice for the demons!

Emperor's Pavilion.

It is not the Imperial Palace, but the inner cabinet area of ​​the Imperial Pavilion, excluding the Imperial Palace.

The black-haired girl, dressed in a black sailor uniform, stood on the bustling street, calmly walking forward, inhaling the aroma of the century-old serpentine that would normally send her into a frenzy.

Behind her followed a tall woman dressed in slightly revealing clothes, her long, beautiful legs exposed to the air, causing many male cultivators around to drool.

However, no one dared to harass the female cultivators here, because this was the territory of the Emperor's Pavilion, and no one knew who these two female cultivators were.

Strangely, they didn't seem to have come with their sect, because they traversed almost half of the Imperial Pavilion without sitting down at any banquet. Rather than attending a banquet, they seemed to be searching for something.

Yes, searching.

Zhang Ruoxue and Xu Yanliu are indeed searching.

In fact, they have already found it; the next step is to choose.

"Ruoxue..."

Standing outside the vast courtyard, Xu Yanliu looked at the expressionless girl beside her and took a deep breath: "Are you sure you really want to do this?"

"I'm sure."

Zhang Ruoxue's answer was calm, but it only appeared calm.

Xu Yanliu knew that even now, Zhang Ruoxue's hatred had not subsided, and her emotions were still driven by anger and hatred.

Because she used to be like that too.

Zhang Xiaohan is dead.

In order to prevent them from being persecuted by the Jin Yao Dao Alliance, they chose to die, dedicating everything they had to Zhang Ruoxue.

If it were me, I would probably carry Zhang Xiaohan's life on my shoulders and continue to eke out a living.

But Zhang Ruoxue was different. She wasn't the kind of person who was afraid. It seemed that the word "fear" didn't exist in her life.

"I have a way... although it might not work..."

"But I want to give it a try..."

Zhang Ruoxue's words reached Xu Yanliu's ears.

She saw a strange light gradually appear in Zhang Ruoxue's eyes, like guilt or self-reproach, but she didn't know what it was.

Is she blaming herself because of Zhang Xiaohan?

do not know.

It also seemed as if she was blaming herself for what she was about to do.

Xu Yanliu didn't understand.

But Zhang Ruoxue understood perfectly well.

"Sister Xu, I don't know if my method will succeed, because Yu Chan and the others keep saying that I'm not very bright, so the success rate of this so-called plan may not be very high."

She turned her head, unusually abandoning her expressionless and indifferent demeanor, and spoke to Xu Yanliu in a persuasive tone:

"If you don't want to get caught up in this... go back to the old man now."

"You still have to fulfill your filial duties to your uncle, don't you?"

It's the exact same excuse as before.

Xu Yanliu gave a bitter smile: "We've already come this far, I don't want to turn back, and I'm too lazy to run away anymore. We've been running for so long, it's time to let loose, don't you think?"

"What about the uncle?"

"That old geezer can take care of himself. Although he'd probably be very sad if I died here..."

"Then you should go back even more." Zhang Ruoxue still didn't want Xu Yanliu to take this risk with her.

Xu Yanliu shook her head: "Whether you're a daughter or a son, one day you'll have to leave the embrace of those old men and women. I don't want to live an escapist life under that old man's wing anymore..."

"I'm tired of that kind of life too."

"Is that so..."

Knowing she could no longer persuade Xu Yanliu, Zhang Ruoxue could only take a deep breath.

She didn't need to say much, nor did Xu Yanliu.

At this moment, the two reached a surprising consensus.

Almost simultaneously, the spiritual energy within the two surged forth, and two dazzling beams of light shot into the dark night sky.

In the next instant, a punch and a kick, the terrifying impact shattered the white jade wall of the courtyard in front of them into dust!

boom!

Smoke and dust billowed up!

With a deafening roar, the two figures suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, the people at dozens of banquet tables turned their heads in astonishment, staring at the shattered wall with disbelief. In their minds, it was impossible for such a thing to happen within the Imperial Pavilion!

However, when the cultivators of the Ash Demon Alliance saw the newcomers, they were so shocked that they were speechless!

"Xu Yanliu!?"

Ding Rong jumped up from the table, staring incredulously at the woman whose figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.

"Ding Rong..."

Xu Yanliu slowly drew her sword, the blade reflecting the bright moonlight, which made her face appear exceptionally pale.

She grinned and corrected, "No, the Ash Demon Alliance... it's been a long time."

Recovering from her shock, Ding Rong looked puzzled and bewildered, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "I didn't expect you to have the guts to come here. Should I call you stupid, or incredibly audacious?"

The elegant and handsome man sitting next to Ding Rong took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, slowly stood up, placed his left hand on the scabbard, and stared at Xu Yanliu and Zhang Ruoxue with an unfriendly expression: "Junior Sister Xu... no, Miss Xu, do you know where this place is? Didn't you think about the consequences of barging in like this?"

Zhang Ruoxue glared at him coldly: "You should have thought about the consequences when you killed Xiaohan."

"Xiao Han?"

Zhang Ruoxue's words puzzled the cultivators of the Jin Yao Dao Alliance, but Ding Rong was the quickest to react: "Oh~ you mean that demon whose physical body was destroyed and whose soul was shattered by the master, leaving only that broken spiritual pill? What, you've come here specifically to avenge that demon?"

The mere mention of Zhang Xiaohan's name ignited a surge of furious rage within Zhang Ruoxue, causing her to let out a terrifying, beast-like growl. Her gaze towards the members of the Jin Yao Dao Alliance became exceptionally fierce.

In the end, the fierce gaze fell on the two Buddhist monks who were slowly rising from their seats not far away.

It was them... who killed Xiao Han!

Ding Rong looked at Zhang Ruoxue as if she were an idiot: "Putting aside whether that demon deserved to die or not, do you two dare to cause trouble in our Jin Yao Dao Alliance?"

Xu Yanliu didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "Who hung Xiao Han's elixir in front of the Jin Yao Dao Alliance gate?"

"That elixir?" The young man smiled, his smile quite refined. "It's from me."

"Is that you...?"

The young man noticed the murderous intent in Xu Yanliu's eyes but showed no fear whatsoever: "I just want to remind everyone, especially you, Miss Xu. After the last fox demon and this time the heavenly demon, you should know that you must never protect the demon race."

The spiritual energy surging within Xu Yanliu's sword grew increasingly intense, and her hand holding the sword trembled with rage: "Whether it's Hu'er or Xiao Han, they are innocent and blameless. What right does your Jin Yao Dao Alliance have to indiscriminately kill the innocent?!"

"Innocent?" Ding Rong laughed so hard she almost shook, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "In this world, who cares if you're innocent or not? Killing demons will enhance the reputation of my Ash Demon Alliance, and the spiritual pills and souls obtained will help with cultivation. Innocent? Who cares if you're innocent or not?"

"Do you know how much the cultivation level of the cultivators in my Jin Yao Dao Alliance has increased in recent years? Do you think it was very difficult for my Jin Yao Dao Alliance to get to where it is today? Yet you are here saying these righteous words. It's really easy for you to talk when you're not in the same boat."

Zhang Ruoxue gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to crush them all: "You kill demons and monsters...aren't you doing it to uphold justice?! Even those two from the Buddhist sect, are they doing it for cultivation?"

Faced with Zhang Ruoxue's question, the Buddhist elder put his hands together, closed his eyes, and said, "Regardless of their purpose, the Jin Yao Dao Alliance has the merit of slaying demons and monsters, and to our Buddhist sect, they are friends."

"You two are truly indiscriminate!" Xu Yanliu angrily cursed the Buddhist sect: "You two are supposed to be members of the Buddhist sect, yet you kill indiscriminately and disregard human decency. Do you even deserve to be called members of the Buddhist sect?"

Whether I am worthy or not is none of your business, and you have no right to comment on me.

"you……"

Just as Xu Yanliu was about to speak, Qingji, the senior disciple of the Jinyao Dao Alliance, spoke up:

"Alright, Miss Xu, you should stop arguing. Considering our past relationship, if you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened."

“Yeah, right~” Ding Rong said sarcastically, standing close to Qing Ji. “Now tuck your tails between your legs and get lost, or we can pretend you were never here.”

"Looks like there's no need to waste any more words."

Zhang Ruoxue's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

When she reappeared, her entire body was engulfed in azure flames resembling the dark moon, and her speed far exceeded that of ordinary peak-stage cultivators.

She flashed in front of Ding Rong, and without hesitation, she punched Ding Rong in the head at this cultivator whose cultivation was a whole realm higher than hers.

"I will avenge Xiao Han today!"

One punch!

Hey~

However, instead of the sound of flesh colliding, at the critical moment, Qingji, who was next to Ding Rong, drew his longsword, and a dazzling blue light suddenly sent Zhang Ruoxue flying.

After flipping once in mid-air, the girl finally managed to steady herself and land back next to Xu Yanliu.

Ding Rong recovered from her shock—in that instant, despite her superior cultivation, she hadn't even realized how fast Zhang Ruoxue was!

However, compared to Qingji, who was at the peak of the Transcendental Stage, Zhang Ruoxue's speed was still a bit lacking.

"Since you two insist on this, then I must offend you!"

Seeing that Qingji was about to make a move, the two Buddhist monks slowly sat down.

"Thank you for your help, everyone from the Jin Yao Dao Alliance."

After leaving a message, the old monk turned away, refusing to look at Zhang Ruoxue and Xu Yanliu.

He understood that these two men were there to die.

He didn't care about the lives or deaths of these people; those who aided and abetted evil were irrelevant to him in terms of life or death.

Qingji held his sword in his right hand, his gaze fixed on Zhang Ruoxue, and instantly charged forward.

At the same time, the other hundreds of cultivators from the Ash Demon Alliance swarmed forward, surrounding Xu Yanliu on the other side—
