Blame?
What crime?
No one heard his two words clearly, nor did they pay attention to his lip movements. They quickly realized that this was a demonic cultivator publicly provoking them, and they became even angrier.
Senior Sister Zhao directly scolded, "You demonic cultivator, how dare you appear openly in front of Wenxian City? You really aren't afraid of death!"
Senior Sister Zhao spoke with righteous indignation, but inwardly she was filled with unease. She pondered that this demonic cultivator was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, roughly equal to herself, but judging from his arrogance, he must be hiding an even greater strength...
It would be best to find someone to test the waters.
She didn't dare to go forward herself, so she secretly gave a wink to the disciple next to her.
The disciple, unaware of his senior sister's scheme, genuinely believed he was being appreciated. Excitedly, he nodded repeatedly and reached for the sword hilt: "Demon, don't run away! I want to spar with you!"
Before the last few words could be uttered, the voice abruptly stopped. The disciple's pupils constricted in fear, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Suddenly, a thin, black longsword appeared out of thin air, its sharp, poisoned tip pointing directly at the blood vessel in his neck!
Just one more inch deeper, and it will pierce right through!
The disciple's mind went blank for a moment. He felt a sharp killing intent sweep over his entire body, and his hair stood on end. His teeth chattered with fear, and his eyes kept pleading for help from Senior Sister Zhao.
He didn't even realize when the demonic cultivator made his move, let alone dodge it!
Now, he doesn't even dare to tremble with fear, for fear that if he moves even slightly, he will be slamming his neck into that demonic sword.
Senior Sister Zhao had no time to care about this disciple!
Her body slowly stiffened with fear. A chilling cold seeped into her bones and permeated her very being, completely taking over her body from skin to bone. She tried to use her spiritual power to resist the invasion of this demonic energy, but found that it was all in vain!
Xuanxi's gaze was mocking, and her fingers twitched slightly, causing the surging demonic energy on the black longsword to obediently rise and fall with the movement.
"Spar with me? You're not worthy." His voice was calm, yet it contained an arrogant mockery. "Didn't the Canglang Sword Sect ask where the jade pendant went? I have one right here. Do you want to fight me and see who can get it based on strength?"
The disciple's face flushed red and then paled from the humiliation, while Senior Sister Zhao's expression turned ashen. Gritting her teeth, she decisively said, "Senior's strength is formidable; we are indeed inferior. We dare not delay your affairs any longer, so we will take our leave!"
After saying that, she grabbed the disciple and pulled him back, dodging the range of the ink sword's attack. She no longer cared about the people of the Loose Cultivator City and led her disciples away in a panic, entering the Immortal Inquiry City without daring to look back.
"...Senior Sister," the disciple pleaded, his voice trembling with tears, filled with resentment and shame, "I've disgraced you..."
"Yes, Senior Sister, what should we do! If we run away like this, won't the people of the Loose Cultivator City laugh at us?"
"What should we do now? Are we just going to come here and not even be able to enter the secret realm?"
Once they were far away, the disciples who had been trembling with fear slowly came to their senses. Their legs were still shaking, but their faces had transformed into fearless expressions, their teeth clenched in anger.
"The Loose Cultivator City got a freebie! If it weren't for that demon in the way, we would have snatched their jade pendant long ago!"
Senior Sister Zhao's eyes flashed, her heart filled with resentment, and she said gloatingly, "We won't get away with this, do you think the Loose Cultivator City will be safe? Just wait, the demonic cultivators won't let them off the hook. We've lost face, and they won't be able to get in peacefully either!"
