The sword shadows cast by Xue Shan's Hehuan Sword were dazzling. Without waiting for her signal, one of the three female demon cultivator's subordinates stepped forward to grab Xue Shan.
"Hahaha, this little girl has such delicate skin, if we catch her we'll have new toys!" The male demon cultivator to Zhu Yi's left said in a gruff, lewd voice.
"Yeah, yeah! I love seeing them fight back but they can't beat us, and in the end they just obediently let us do whatever we want!"
Zhu Yi looked at those two mouthfuls of big yellow teeth and felt a slight headache. Don't demon cultivators pay attention to personal hygiene? They stink!
"Hmph, overestimating themselves..." The masked woman hadn't even finished saying the word "strength" yet; she was still waiting to see the three little girls get bullied to a pulp! But in the blink of an eye, she saw Zhu Yi block Xue Shan's sword first, and then clearly shout out four words.
"We surrender!"
Zhu Yi readily surrendered, showing no shame or embarrassment at being from a prestigious righteous sect but being no match for a villainous demonic cultivator...
The female demon cultivator was taken aback; something was wrong. Her pretty face beneath the silver mask scrunched up in a frown.
When cultivators from prestigious sects in the cultivation world are humiliated, shouldn't they fight back to the death?
Zhu Yi pulled Xue Shan to put away her Hehuan Sword.
Xue Shan felt a mouthful of blood rising in her throat. "Why did you retreat without a fight? They are demonic cultivators! Demonic cultivators who are our mortal enemies!"
Wei Weiwei, standing next to Xue Shan, was also completely bewildered. "Junior Sister, Senior Sister is right. I was just ready to stand with Senior Sister and was sharpening my knives when you interrupted me."
"Sisters, the most important thing in life is to be realistic. We really can't win this round!" Zhu Yi was also worried.
"If we were all in the late Foundation Establishment stage, we could still put up a fight against the four of them, but..."
Alright, Zhu Yi didn't need to say anything more. Xue Shan and Wei Wei immediately understood that the three Qi Refining stage cultivators were just easy targets to bully.
The masked female demonic cultivator stood before them, having heard their words clearly. She couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Three pieces of trash, they have no sense of self-awareness as members of a righteous sect. There's no fun in bullying them!"
Zhu Yi resigned herself to her fate: "We're clearly outmatched, so we're not going to put up a fight and give you any fun!"
“Alright, female demon cultivator, stop talking. We’ll go with you.” Zhu Yi raised her eyes and tried to negotiate with the female demon cultivator. “However, we came out to buy things, and we’re tired after picking things out all night. Would you consider taking us to find a place to stay?”
The female demon cultivator's temper flared up instantly: "You've all been captured by me, and you're still trying to negotiate with me?"
Zhu Yi clutched her chest, looking pained, but her fingers secretly fumbled for something inside the ruby storage ring around her neck. Raising an eyebrow, she silently thought to herself: Sure enough, this female demon cultivator doesn't seem very bright.
Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei exchanged a glance; this time, they understood Zhu Yi's intentions.
A direct confrontation was impossible, so they decided to secretly send a message to Senior Brother Mu Feng at the sect's office for help, hoping to buy some time and see what happened.
"What else can we talk about?" Zhu Yi started arguing with the female demon cultivator, but suddenly, as if she had discovered something new, her eyes lit up. "The three of us can't beat you... Ah! Brother Lin Yuan!"
The little girl's joyful expression was as if she had discovered some priceless treasure, which startled the female demon cultivator.
The female demon cultivator was overjoyed. Sure enough, Su Linyuan arrived as soon as she captured the Tianlan Sect disciple!
During her travels in the mortal realm, she encountered the handsome Su Linyuan, and from then on, she was completely captivated, following him around and begging for his affections.
But to her surprise, the boy simply ignored her.
This made her doubt whether her charm had diminished. She tried everything to seduce him, but Su Linyuan remained unmoved, which infuriated her!
She refused to believe that there was any man in this world that Li Mei couldn't handle!
So for the past six months, she has been relentlessly chasing after Su Linyuan, following him all the way from the mortal realm to the cultivation world...
To her surprise, when Li Mei turned around with great joy, there was no one behind her. The merchants and tourists had long since left, and the empty street was only quietly lit by a few streetlights!
Where can I find even half a piece of Su Linyuan's clothing?
Just as Li Mei and her three subordinates turned around to look, Zhu Yi quickly took out a royal-grade array plate from her ruby storage ring. She made a hand seal and condensed a light pink lotus flower spell, which she then cast onto the array plate.
Li Mei realized she had been tricked by this young girl and was furious. She drew her nine-section demon whip from her waist and lashed out at Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi swiftly cast the trapping formation around Li Mei and the others. Xue Shan and Wei Wei, who were constantly watching Zhu Yi's movements, reacted immediately: Run!
However, Zhu Yi was only a novice at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the trapping array she set up with the royal-level array plate could not really hold back Li Mei, who was in the Golden Core stage, at most delaying her for a while.
At this moment, Li Mei was like a balloon about to burst. Not seeing Su Linyuan, whom she longed for day and night, appear made her feel like she was about to explode!
He actually got outsmarted by a mere Qi Refining stage girl!
The nine-section demonic whip, carrying raging fury, hurtled towards Zhu Yi with remarkable intelligence.
Two beams of light crossed paths. Li Mei was trapped in the array, which hampered her movements, while Zhu Yi was fiercely swept away by the Nine-Section Demon Whip.
At that moment, Zhu Yi was running forward while fumbling for the Crane Feather Flying Device at her waist. She didn't even notice the whip lashing out from behind her.
Before she could even enlarge the Crane Feather Flying Vehicle to a size suitable for three people, Li Mei's Nine-Section Demon Whip slammed past the trapping formation, its tail striking her back.
"Pfft..." Zhu Yi felt a sore throat and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Xue Shan turned around and was shocked to see Zhu Yi in such a disheveled state. She quickly helped Zhu Yi up, but Li Mei manipulated the Nine-Section Demon Whip and brought it down for the second time.
Even though she knew that her Qi Refining stage cultivation was no match for the Golden Core cultivator's attack, Wei Weiwei, who was running not far ahead, still bravely formed hand seals and used her maximum spiritual power to set up a fiery red protective shield behind Xue Shan and Zhu Yi.
When the third strike of the Nine-Section Demon Whip came down, the fiery red protective shield was no match for its power and instantly turned into dust. Wei Weiwei also suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Since there were four of them on Li Mei's side, the four demonic cultivators quickly destroyed most of the trapping formation.
Zhu Yi was somewhat desperate. She had originally thought that her royal-level array plate would help her trap her opponent! But it turned out that her own strength was weak, and the array she created was like that of a novice...
The three henchmen surrounded Zhu Yi and her two companions again, clearly resentful: "Boss! Take them back, we want to have some fun!"
"You little brat! How dare you bully your grandpa? Don't you want to live a normal life anymore?!"
"Arrest them! If we arrest all three of them and still can't find Su Linyuan, then we haven't arrested enough people! We'll arrest more Tianlan Sect disciples later and see if Su Linyuan still comes out!"
This time, Li Mei was too lazy to waste words with them. She held the Nine-Section Demon Whip firmly in her hand, raised her wrist high, and looked coldly at the girls who were lying on the ground huddled together.
Zhu Yi felt a burning sensation all over her body, and she deeply realized that her cultivation level was still too low.
Although she had a very fulfilling two months, she diligently cultivated her spiritual energy and practiced swordsmanship whenever she had a spare moment after finishing the chores assigned to her by Master Yujing. Unbeknownst to her, she successfully broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.
She was initially quite happy.
If she was somewhat complacent when she learned of her breakthrough a few days ago, now, at this moment, she still felt weak and powerless in the face of absolute strength, making her realize that she still hadn't worked hard enough in her cultivation.
To live well, you have to roll up your sleeves.
Zhu Yi felt the pain in her body and saw Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei looking equally disheveled and in pain, and she felt so sorry for them.
If she could cultivate a little faster, even if she had only broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, with the treasures given to her by Master Yujing, she would have the courage to fight Li Mei.
Then it won't be like it is now, where our strength is too weak, and we can't even use one-tenth of the effects of many of our treasures.
Just like the trapping array she had set up for Li Mei couldn't hold her back...
