Chapter 139 Don’t be afraid!
Qiu Qianling swung his sword to chop the last demon spider in half. The blood blade in his hand was soaked with blood, and his body was flashing with an excited red light.
She stood among the corpses of demon spiders, raised her bloody face, and looked blankly at Murong Ci who was standing tall on the tombstone.
"Master, do you really think that if I kill a few demon spiders, I can kill the Demon Lord?"
Chi Qi touched her chin. It seemed a bit risky, but if she didn't try, how would she know it wouldn't work?
She gracefully leaped down from the tombstone, walked over to Qiu Qianling, and stared into her eyes. Her cold voice was tinged with temptation, "With the Blood Blade I gave you, what else do you have to worry about? Once you kill the Demon Lord, you will gain his cultivation and command the demons. Then, avenging your mother will be easy, won't it?"
Qiu Qianling lowered his eyes and looked at the bloody blade in his hand. The blade was overflowing with demonic energy, and the fingers holding the handle trembled slightly.
Can she really do it? Can she really kill her enemies with her own hands?
But even if she didn't do this, she couldn't go back to the good old days. She'd been deceived, hurt, and had her caesarean sectioned...all the pain she'd experienced was because of Xie Yuqing.
Her only goal in this life is to kill her!
Qiu Qianling took a deep breath and looked at Chi Li with a firm gaze. "Yes, disciple, obey your command."
Chi Qi smiled and nodded. It seemed that this heroine was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, with a kind of tenacity that was hidden but not revealed, just like a wild grass that could withstand wind and rain without breaking.
"You have such courage, so I was right in judging you. It just so happens that the Immortal Clan wants to send a group of hostages to the Demon Realm, so you can go there on your own initiative."
Qiu Qianling frowned slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, "Master's soul is trapped in this cemetery, how could he know what's happening in the outside world?"
Chi Qi was shocked. How could this person be so perceptive?
She coughed and said coldly, "Of course I have my own way. Don't ask about things you shouldn't know."
Qiu Qianling heard her cold voice and was afraid of angering her, so he didn't dare to guess randomly. "Yes, Qianling knows."
Seeing that Qiu Qianling was frightened by her, Chi Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had to be more careful with her words in the future, so as not to let Qiu Qianling see through her identity, which would be difficult to deal with.
But it's strange. With her superb and superb acting skills, she has deceived countless people, but why can't she fool Qiu Qianling?
Is it because this child has been cheated so many times that he has developed resistance?
While she was pondering this, Qiu Qianling asked her again, "Master, I heard that those who practice magic will eventually degenerate into demons. When I master the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, will I become like you?"
"Well..." Chi Li hesitated.
By the way, how did Murong Ci transform from an immortal to a demon?
If one didn't transform into a demon through cultivation, they could only use demonic energy to cleanse their entire body, a process that could be considered a complete transformation. This process was extremely painful, and even the slightest carelessness could lead to being devoured by the demonic energy, reducing them to a completely insane demonic being.
Chi Qi knew very little about Murong Ci's past.
All we know is that the demons in the original book are an evil and despicable race. They can only survive in the dark. Their appearance is huge and ugly, and their murderous behavior is even more heinous.
What's even more horrifying is that there are rumors that the demons like to eat children. This evil behavior makes them unacceptable to the immortals and humans, and they are almost despised by everyone in the world.
Thinking of this, Chi Qi paused for a moment. Is it really okay to let Qiu Qianling practice Murong Ci's "Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique"?
However, according to the combat power setting in the original book, the only person who can fight against Gongsun Xiong is Murong Ci.
Since Qiu Qianling wants revenge, he must bear the price of becoming a demon.
Chi Li looked at Qiu Qianling and said coldly, "If you don't want to become a demon, it's not too late to give up now."
Qiu Qianling shook his head. "Rather than being a hypocritical immortal, I would rather be a demon who dares to love and hate, just like you, Master."
Dare to love and hate? Chi Yan sneered in her heart. She was not Murong Ci, and she did not have such abundant emotions.
"Very good, then don't let me down." After Chi Li said this, she turned around and disappeared in front of Qiu Qianling like smoke.
At the same time, there were some rustling sounds in the quiet cemetery, as if something was crawling towards Qiu Qianling.
She opened her eyes wide and suddenly saw big red lanterns lighting up one after another in the darkness in front of her, densely packed and instantly illuminating the entire cemetery.
After a closer look, I realized that it was the eye of a blood python.
Qiu Qianling clenched the blood blade in his hand, and his first reaction was not fear, but excitement.
Come on!
She has learned how to enjoy fighting and blood!
————
Time flies, and soon it is the day to set off for the Demon Realm.
The flying magic weapon unfolded in the air and turned into a huge Yunzhou, which stopped in front of the mountain gate of the Jinmen Immortal Mansion.
Yu Yixian stood in front of the ladder lowered from the cloud boat and respectfully invited the sect leader to board the boat.
Chi Li stepped onto the ladder, leaned slightly sideways, and said with a smile, "After I leave, I'll leave all the sect's affairs to you."
Yu Yixian nodded in agreement and watched Chi Li board the cloud boat. Then came Elder Xujun of the Spirit Sword Sect, and then the one hundred monks sent to the Demon Realm as hostages. The monk in the lead looked particularly familiar. Wait—
Why is Qiu Qianling among them?
Yu Yixian was about to call out to Qiu Qianling, but she had already boarded the cloud boat and walked beside Chi Li.
Looking at the way they were smiling and talking, if they didn't say anything, they really looked like mother and daughter.
Perhaps, the sect leader wanted to bring Qiu Qianling with him to teach him, Yu Yixian thought.
The spiritual stones spent on the journey from Jinmen Immortal Mansion to Dongzhou were a huge sum, and the taxes from the three states hadn't been paid yet this year. Instead of dwelling on why Qiu Qianling had boarded the ship, it was better to settle the accounts first.
Although she is now the deputy sect leader, the things she needs to do have not decreased at all.
Thinking of this, Yu Yixian asked the monk beside him, "Hasn't Liu Xiaoman been found yet? It's such a busy time, where could he be slacking off again?"
The cultivator shook his head, "I haven't seen him since you, Deputy Sect Master, asked Senior Brother Liu to give Junior Sister some spiritual roots the day before yesterday."
Yu Yixian frowned, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, "Oh? What did Qiu Qianling say?"
"Junior Sister said she hasn't seen him. Deputy Sect Leader, do you think... could Senior Brother Liu have escaped with his Heavenly Spiritual Root?!"
Yu Yixian raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows. This was really not impossible. How could she give such an important thing to a waste like Liu Xiaoman?
Fortunately, Qiu Qianling didn't ask her for spiritual roots in the past two days. Now she has left the sect again, and it looks like it will take ten days or half a month for her to come back. She must find Liu Xiaoman before that.
"Pass on my order. Have the three governors capture Liu Xiaoman with all their might. Don't let him escape from the territory of the Golden Gate Immortal Palace!"
"yes!"
On the cloud boat, Chi Qi smiled and asked Qiu Qianling, "Why did you suddenly think of asking to go to the Demon Realm?"
Qiu Qianling smiled wryly, "To answer your mother's question, I have always been deeply protected by the sect and I am grateful. Now that the immortals are in trouble, I will lead the charge and make a contribution to the sect."
Chi Li's smile deepened. "I'm really pleased that Qian Ling has such selfless thoughts."
The muscles on Qiu Qianling's cheeks twitched and he sneered in his heart, "If you knew that I just wanted to kill you now, you would definitely not be happy."
How could Chi Qi not know what she was thinking? Thinking that she was very sharp-minded and it would be easy to be exposed if she said too much, she chatted with her for a few words, then slipped away from the deck and went back to the cabin to rest.
Qiu Qianling was too lazy to put on an act in front of her, so he didn't keep her.
As soon as Chi Li left, the cultivators from the Golden Gate Immortal Palace gathered around her, praising her one after another: "Senior Sister Qiu has great ambitions. We admire her and are willing to go to the Demon Realm with her to fight the enemy together!"
Qiu Qianling turned around in surprise and looked up at them. Young, pure and energetic faces suddenly came into his sight, and his heart, which had been dead for a long time, couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.
He whispered, "You...you aren't afraid?"
Everyone was confused, "What are you afraid of?"
Qiu Qianling said anxiously, "The Demon Realm is not a good place. People will die there!"
She had long seen through the hypocrisy of the immortals and knew that this was not a good thing. She was just afraid that they had also been deceived.
After hearing her words, everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Someone stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister Qiu, are you underestimating us? We certainly know the Demon Realm is dangerous. The Deputy Sect Leader warned us about this long ago. But if this mission wasn't dangerous enough, how could we female cultivators be given the chance? For the female cultivators, for the sect, and for the people of the world, any sacrifice is worth it! We are not afraid!"
Everyone followed suit and said:
"That's right, we're not afraid! People always say that we female cultivators are cowards and don't dare to go to the battlefield to fight the demons like male cultivators. Well, we will prove to them that we are not afraid of bloodshed!"
"Isn't it just death? Rather than living a dull life in the sect, I would rather die gloriously and let the world know my name, Liu Xiaolan!"
"One hundred female cultivators entering the Demon Realm is a great sacrifice at any time. Whether they like it or not, they must remember our names."
"If blood must be shed to prove that we female cultivators are not useless, then let us start; if sacrifice is necessary to earn a place for future generations to enter the Immortal Gate, then let us start."
Qiu Qianling was stunned. It turned out that they knew everything and saw everything clearly, but they had no choice.
Rather than being wrongly accused and slandered as cowards, troublemakers, and parasites to the sect leader, and then forcibly sent to the Demon Realm, they would rather accept the title of righteousness and die bravely in exchange for the restoration of the reputation of female cultivators.
Also, to illuminate the hypocrisy of the immortals for those who come after them!
Qiu Qianling thought to herself, it was because of hatred that she could enter the Demon Realm fearlessly, but why did they take life so lightly?
Is it because I'm too young? Or is it something else?
Qiu Qianling was stung by the bright light in their eyes. His lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, a sneer came from the side, "Stop flattering yourself over there, acting like you're so great. In reality, you're just like us, a bunch of incompetent losers, that's why you were abandoned by the sect and sent to the Demon Realm."
Everyone suddenly became angry, and Qiu Qianling also frowned. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a cultivator from the Lingjian Sect.
Someone recognized her, "Isn't this the Deputy Sect Master's former... Ge Fuling?"
Hearing this name, Qiu Qianling also remembered the rumor he had heard in the sect before.
She sneered, "No matter how bad we are, we are still better than a traitor like you!"
Ge Fuling's face flushed with anger, "You——!"
Qiu Qianling wanted to say more, but everyone held her back, "Forget it, Senior Sister Qiu, there's no need to argue with her. Summer insects can't talk about ice."
Elsewhere, the cultivators from the Spirit Sword Sect also told Ge Fuling to shut up. "We're all in this together now. Why are you making such a fuss? If we offend the Golden Gate Immortal Palace, can you bear the consequences?"
Ge Fuling shut her mouth, but her eyes were still fixed on Qiu Qianling, who was the center of attention, and her chest was heaving with excitement.
That position should be hers!
If she hadn't left the Jinmen Immortal Palace, how could Qiu Qianling, a young girl, have the chance to become the senior sister and be surrounded and praised by everyone!
She really couldn't accept it.
If she could live her life over again, she would never let her life be so miserable, and she would never marry the young master of the Spirit Sword Sect. Instead, she would choose a Taoist partner who suits her.
But it's too late to say anything now. Even if she regrets it to death, it will be of no use.
