They are the women standing behind me.

"Yes, that does make some sense."

Ye Yunmei smiled sweetly, "But it's no use telling me, and it's no use telling Junior Brother Qin, so why bother wasting your time?"

"We should convince him together!"

Gu Yirou said with a stern face: "Instead of being like you, Yunmei..."

"Yirou, what if you really encounter great danger?"

Ye Yunmei interrupted, "With everyone's current strength, if we were truly in great danger, would you protect Junior Brother Qin, or would Junior Brother Qin protect you? If it's the latter, wouldn't Junior Brother Qin have been able to escape, but because of you, he'd have to stand in front of you? What if he died as a result?"

When Gu Yirou opened her mouth, Ye Yunmei continued, "What I mean is, if I am stronger than Junior Brother Qin, then I must be with him. If I know that I am weaker than him, then if I stay with him, I might just be a burden that holds him back. Besides, this isn't just a leisurely trip in this cave, but a fierce life-and-death battle. If you're not careful, you could really die. If I can't help him, then I have to eliminate the possibility of holding him back. In this case, I might as well go out and practice hard to become stronger!"

“…”Gu Yirou and Xu Xingwei.

"As long as you admit that your current strength is inferior to Junior Brother Qin, then what is your reason for insisting on being with him? Are you relying on Junior Brother Qin to protect you in the event of real and great danger, hoping to drag Junior Brother Qin to death, or do you really want to die with him?"

Ye Yunmei raised her right hand and ruffled her hair. "Besides, if a life-and-death battle really breaks out, if Junior Brother Qin can't kill them all instantly, and instead fights like he did against Dugu Sheng and He Xingchen, he'll have a very difficult time fighting himself. But with us here, how can he not pay attention to us? Even if we can fight, can Junior Brother Qin really not pay attention?"

"This……"

"That's right, he'll have to pay so much attention to us. Isn't that even worse? In a life-and-death battle, even a single distraction could kill you, let alone so many distractions?"

Ye Yunmei spoke bluntly, "Actually, I think if you're weaker than him and insist on being with him, then it's a big deal if you can just not be a drag, but forget about even thinking about whether you can help or not. If you tell anyone about this, it's going to be laughable. From ancient times to the present, how could a weak person actually help a strong person in a dangerous situation where life and death depend on strength?"

Gu Yirou's face turned blue and red, but she seemed unable to refute.

"With our current strength, if we stay, we can only offer some minor favors at best. But what's the point? Furthermore, we're weaker than Junior Brother Qin right now. How can we really help him in such a dangerous place? I really can't figure it out. Why don't you tell me?"

Ye Yunmei crossed her arms and said unhappily, "I might as well say it's a bit too much. Could the danger level in this cave be greater than that in the Immortal Forbidden Land? If Junior Brother Qin can't survive here, how can he leave the Immortal Forbidden Land alive?"

“…” Gu Yirou and Xu Xingwei were speechless.

"Yiro, Xingwei, whether it's you or me, we chose the man ourselves, so it's best to trust him. If you don't trust him, who else can you trust?"

Ye Yunmei said in a charming voice, "Besides, Junior Brother Qin is such an evil and bad person. I don't believe that he would be willing to abandon me and go away alone. Even if he has to crawl, he will crawl back."

"He is evil and bad?" Xu Xingwei asked in surprise.

Ye Yunmei nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, back then, after Yirou and he started practicing dual cultivation, he actually asked Yirou to borrow my black silk stockings... You see, he's quite resourceful, right? That's why I saw back then that Junior Brother Qin was a very bad person... Fairy Xu, you really jumped into the fire pit with your eyes open..."

Xu Xingwei muttered a little awkwardly after hearing this: "Well, then I'd love to do that too!"

……

Chapter 355: I don't plan to join forces with you

……

The day.

A piece of news spread in the cave.

All cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage will be teleported out of the cave after one month, and cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage can leave if they want, but if they choose to stay, their realm will be suppressed to the 'early Spirit Transformation stage' after a year. However, there will be no restrictions at that time, and they will still be the demon who killed Qin Wudi and can inherit the Taoist tradition of the cave.

This news set off the entire cave.

Ming Junyu and Su Fengye met and discussed the matter.

"It looks like the cave master's protective mind left behind will change the way he tests Qin Wudi."

Su Fengye asked directly: "Do you want to make Qin Wudi 'the enemy of the whole world' in the entire cave?"

"Friend Su, I don't plan to leave."

Ming Junyu said in a deep voice: "If I don't kill Qin Wudi, I will never be able to become the world's most invincible!"

"I think that except for those who are not strong enough, anyone with some strength in the Spiritual Transformation Realm will not leave. Of course, those who are not strong enough can actually join forces. No matter what, Qin Wudi is too attractive."

Su Fengye spoke forcefully, "Besides, if we kill him, we can also obtain the first generation of invincible Taoist tradition. The gains are really huge. To exaggerate a bit, it is enough to live up to the four words 'defy the heavens and change your fate'. Since the hope of defying the heavens and changing your fate lies here, how many people are willing to miss it? Haha, it's also realistic. The less talented and weaker one is, the more they want to kill Qin Wudi and get everything from him to improve themselves and increase their hope of becoming an immortal."

Of course, there is no need to say much about the demon cultivators. Even if you beat them to death, they would not believe that a demon cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm would leave this cave. They would definitely all stay.

"Fellow Daoist Su, if we join forces, we will definitely be able to kill Qin Wudi." Ming Junyu said straight to the point.

"Friend Ming Dao, I have no intention of joining forces with you."

Su Fengye said with a pleasant face, "If we kill Qin Wudi, it would be fine if we inherited the Daoist tradition he possesses, but how would we divide up the various treasures he possesses? How would we divide up his luck, blessings, and opportunities? How would we divide up the Daoist tradition inherited from the first generation of Gai Shi Wudi? This would easily lead to conflicts and affect our friendship."

Ming Junyu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Friend Su is really greedy and wants to take it all for himself."

“I just don’t want to share it with others.”

Su Fengye said calmly and casually: "Everything Qin Wudi has is truly 'defying fate' for us. I don't want to discount these four words."

He is not stupid. If he really kills Qin Wudi, he and Ming Junyu will be together and there will be a fight.

……

the other side.

Yan Lizhu said excitedly with a look of joy on his face, "Senior Shi, if we work together to kill Qin Wudi, no one else will know who killed him. When the time comes, I will only take Qin Wudi's sword, sword formation, and Dao Xing Jiu Tian. The rest will be given to you, Senior Shi."

Shi Yichuan shook his head and said, "I plan to leave this cave."

Yan Lizhu's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he cried out in disbelief, "Senior Shi, we have a great opportunity right before our eyes today. It's almost a sure thing to join forces and kill Qin Wudi... You..."

"I advise you to come along too."

Shi Yichuan said in a deep voice: "Not to mention cultivators, many mortals die because of greed."

Yan Lizhu shook his head, "Senior Shi, I won't leave!"

Shi Yichuan closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before he said, "If you really choose to stay, you may not be able to leave alive. For example, the demon cultivators in the cave will kill people. Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand, but I know even better that not daring to take risks is like a horse refusing to eat grass at night."

Yan Lizhu said seriously, "We cultivators go against the will of heaven. We may be afraid of anything, but we must not be afraid of death. Those who fear death cannot and do not deserve to have great adventures."

……

The demon tribe.

All the demon cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Spiritual Transformation realms were present. There were so many of them, a massive black mass. They shouted with courage, "All of our race's Spiritual Transformation realm cultivators must stay and join forces to kill Qin Wudi!"

Jiao Jianghai said nothing. He was feeling very upset and aggrieved.

Ying Jitian said, "Qin Wudi is too attractive. There must be many human cultivators in the Divine Transformation Realm who want to kill him and take away his treasures, luck, and blessings... But if Qin Wudi is really killed by someone, who knows who will get Brother Jiao's ancestral magic weapon, and it will basically be impossible to get it back."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiao Jianghai's face became even gloomier.

If it loses its ancestral magic weapon, the Jiaolong clan will probably skin it alive.

"All of our race's Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivators in the cave will naturally stay, while the human race is unlikely to do so. In terms of the number of Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivators, our race should have the upper hand."

Ying Jitian said directly, "When the time comes, we will start a war and kill the cultivators of the Man Clan who are at the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the cave. By killing and devouring them and refining their essence, we can not only easily improve our cultivation, but also obtain their wealth. We can also ensure that no one can take Brother Jiao's clan's ancestral magic weapon, the Sealing Magic Pot, out of the cave alive. It will definitely return to our clan's hands."

The monsters present looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Of course, many of our cultivators will surely perish by then."

Ying Jitian continued, "This is a life-and-death battle. Not only must Qin Wudi be killed, but all the human cultivators in the cave must be killed as well. It's impossible for all of us to survive."

"If our clan does this, the human cultivators who remain in the cave will be forced to unite."

Jiao Jianghai then said: "And Ming Junyu, Shi Yichuan, Su Fengye and others cannot be underestimated."

"But Brother Jiao, if Qin Wudi dies at the hands of someone, the whereabouts of your clan's ancestral magic weapon, the Sealing Magic Pot, will be completely unknown. Besides, we have a year to prepare. When we are fully prepared, we will directly launch a war and kill all the cultivators and Qin Wudi! Kill everyone we see!"

Ying Jitian got straight to the point and said, "Even if we all fight to the death and not many survive, for the entire race, this is the lowest price we can pay to eliminate Qin Wudi and the powerful people in the cave who are at the Divine Transformation Realm. From ancient times to the present, how many times have there been such a great opportunity for us to wipe out all the powerful people in almost every realm of the human race in one fell swoop? We must launch a war and keep killing the human cultivators and Qin Wudi!"

Jiao Jianghai was silent, then nodded.

Killing Qin Wudi and eliminating as many powerful figures of the human race as possible who have reached the level of God Transformation would be a good thing for the demon race.

Even if there are only a few left in the end, it will be worth it as long as they can be destroyed.

If all the demon cultivators in the cave who have reached the Divine Transformation Realm do not leave, then they will definitely have the upper hand in numbers and have a greater chance of winning. Of course, they will have to pay a heavy price, and it is unknown how many demon cultivators can survive.

"If I die, you will return the Sealing Pot to my Jiaolong clan."

Jiao Jianghai said calmly, "And those of you who are at the Nascent Soul stage, give me all the things you have. In any case, more is always a good thing."

"Yes!"

The Yuanying realm demon cultivators present all nodded.

……

Chapter 356: It’s up to you! It’s all up to you!

……

After studying the formation for six hours, Qin Xingyuan arrived at the main room and heard Ye Yunmei's charming voice. "Junior Brother Qin, we left this cave as soon as we decided to leave. However, your Senior Sister Gu and your new lover, Fairy Xu, have something to say to you."

New, new lover?!

Xu Xingwei blushed when she heard this.

Qin Xingyuan looked at Gu Yirou and found that Senior Sister Gu had a complicated expression. She looked at him with uneasiness, worry, and anxiety. Then she pursed her red lips and said, "Junior Brother Qin has six Fortune Pills. He gave one to us and Fairy Xu, leaving three. Perhaps they are reserved for Elder Mei and Ji Ningyan. But there is still one left. Why don't you take it in front of us?"

"what?"

"This elixir can increase your cultivation level, and can save Junior Brother Qin from years of hard training!"

Gu Yirou said in a rather excited voice, "It's always a good thing to have a higher level of cultivation. Besides, Senior Sister really doesn't have anything to give you, Junior Brother Qin, so Senior Sister will give you some cultivation to make your cultivation even deeper."

Gu Yirou's cultivation level can indeed be given to him. Needless to say, everyone understands the method.

"Senior Sister can also give you, Junior Brother Qin, some cultivation."

Ye Yunmei blinked and giggled, "Anyway, if I give you some money, I can fix it."

Xu Xingwei was embarrassed when she heard this. It was easy for them to say such things, but it was really difficult for her to say them.

She and Qin Xingyuan are not actually husband and wife.

She's still a virgin!

After all, this kind of "giving" cultivation requires dual cultivation.

So Xu Xingwei had no choice but to say, "I will leave all my 100,000 swords and the three sect-guarding swords in my hand with you. You don't have to refuse. 100,000 swords are nothing to my Sword Sect. As a descendant of the ancestor's bloodline, I can return to the sect and get another 200,000 swords and one or two sect-guarding swords if I want."

Qin Xingyuan was both touched and happy. "I will lend you Xingwei's sword without hesitation, but I really don't need to borrow your two senior sisters' cultivation."

"Brother Qin, just return it to me later. It's not like we are the only ones who can give it to you, but you can't give it to us. So we will lend it to you first, and you can pay it back with interest later."

Ye Yunmei winked and smiled sweetly, "And we know that Junior Brother Qin entered the cave residence right after entering the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. You haven't accumulated any cultivation in your daily life, and your current cultivation is not deep enough. If you don't take it, even if it's your Senior Sister, I can trust you, but what kind of personality does your Senior Sister Gu have? Can she trust you?"

When she said this, she glanced at the stunningly beautiful Gu Yirou and said with a bright smile, "Besides, since you, Junior Brother Qin, have taken the Fortune Pill, at most we can only share a little of our cultivation with you. It's not much at all. But if you can reach a state of cultivation where you can retreat and break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm at any time, Senior Sister Gu will be much more at ease. Just think of it as her spending a little bit of time to buy a great deal of peace of mind. Not only will she be happy about it, but I, Senior Sister, will be quite happy too."

"Junior Brother Qin, your cultivation is more profound, so I can feel more at ease."

Gu Yirou continued, "So don't refuse. If Senior Sister is happy to give it to you, then take it. You can take as much as you want. It's up to you. Senior Sister may not have anything else, but she has a lot of cultivation."

Qin Xingyuan naturally wouldn't really do that, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he ate a Fortune Pill in front of Senior Sister Gu and the others, and then meditated to refine it.

He felt that the Creation Pill was indeed heaven-defying. After eating and refining it, his cultivation level increased tremendously at this level.

If he continues to practice in seclusion for several decades, perhaps thirty or forty years, he will be able to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Junior Brother Qin, we have something to tell you. After leaving this cave, we plan to return to the Southernmost Region. Nangong Taishang is right outside the cave, and we can go back with him."

Ye Yunmei added, "Even in any case, our sect and the Sword Sect are in the Extreme Southern Region after all. We have support in the Extreme Southern Region after all. The Extreme Southern Region is actually big enough for us to travel and train."

Gu Yirou seemed to be in a very low mood, and said softly with some sadness, "Junior Brother Qin will enter the Immortal Forbidden Land after leaving this cave. I don't know how long it will take before we meet again, but Senior Sister will wait for you."

"Yirou, it's not like we'll never see each other again, so don't be like this."

Ye Yunmei laughed and said, "And Junior Brother Qin, you better not flirt with women anymore. Look, you have me, your Senior Sister Gu, Ji Ningyan, your new lover Xu Xianzi, and your old lover Wen Yirong. Maybe Wen Yirong's beloved disciple Hua Wanning will fall into your hands in the future. I think Elder Mei will not be able to escape either, so don't be too greedy. Even if you really want to find a woman, don't look for a seductress."

"Senior Sister Ye, I am a person who is content with what I have."

After Qin Xingyuan nodded with a smile, Ye Yunmei looked at Xu Xingwei with a charming look and invited her, "Fairy Xu, would you like to join the three of us?!"

Hearing this, Xu Xingwei felt like she was struck by lightning, and her beautiful face was full of shock.

These best friends are going to be a threesome with Qin Xingyuan again?!

The three of them are really...

She immediately stood up and fled in a hurry.

"Yiro, Junior Brother Qin, I'm going to chat with Fairy Xu."
