"I don't belong to any sect; I'm just a rogue cultivator. I wandered in by accident. Little Tiger and Little Snake are friends I met here; they're both good people, so don't be afraid, Miss!"
Upon hearing this, the girl gave a weak smile. "What do I have to be afraid of? Sometimes people are much scarier than demons. I'm just worried... little sister, you and your two demon friends better be careful later."
"What are you being careful about?" Qiqi blinked her big, dark eyes, looking completely clueless.
The girl pursed her lips, and seeing that someone from her sect was looking this way, she held back and didn't speak.
Qiqi noticed it, narrowed her eyes, pretended not to care, and looked at the wound on her arm, only to find that the demonic energy was unusually stubborn. Her medicine could only suppress it temporarily and could not remove it.
Qiqi frowned like a little adult, then circulated her spiritual power and placed her fair little hand on the girl's arm injury.
"It's no use..." the girl said weakly, trying to pull her hand away from the little girl's. "This is demonic energy at the level of a demon general... ordinary purification spells are ineffective..."
Qiqi pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes to block out outside gazes, and secretly activated her Eye of Truth.
Its large, dark eyes immediately flashed with golden light as it looked directly at the structured rules of the demonic energy.
She discovered that this demonic energy was completely different from what she had encountered before; it was purer and seemed to be resisting purification as if it had its own consciousness.
"Since that's the case..." Qiqi had a sudden thought and decided to change her approach.
Instead of trying to dispel the demonic energy, she guided it, transforming it into harmless spiritual energy.
This was her first attempt to directly modify the rules of demonic energy, and the process was extremely dangerous.
Large beads of sweat rolled down the little girl's forehead, and her small hands trembled from exertion.
In the end, her whole little body started trembling, her beautiful features were contorted, and she looked like she was in great pain.
"What are you doing? Stop right now!" Bai Xuan noticed this and, seeing Qi Qi's unusual behavior, hurriedly shouted.
But Qiqi didn't stop.
Under the modification of her spiritual essence, the structure of the demonic energy began to change, the blackness gradually faded, and it transformed into pure white spiritual energy.
"This... how is this possible?" The girl stared in shock as the demonic energy on her arm was transformed into spiritual energy, seeping into her body and nourishing her injured meridians and muscles. She could hardly believe it.
The other cultivators also noticed this scene and were all dumbfounded.
"She can actually purify demonic energy at the level of a demon general!"
"What kind of magic is this?"
Qiqi let out a long sigh, her face as pale as paper, her body swaying precariously. "Alright, Miss, your injury is under control for now, but you still need further treatment."
Bai Xuanteng rushed over and caught her weak little body, his eyes filled with worry, "You were too reckless!"
Qiqi grinned, her beautiful eyes seemingly reflecting the Milky Way, "We can't just stand by and watch someone die."
In that instant, Bai Xuan seemed to see a figure he had once glimpsed briefly.
At that time, he was just a little snake whose intelligence had not yet been developed. He had been taken into the Heavenly Mystery Sect by his elders once and had seen her from afar.
The person had a face that could outshine everything else, dressed in white, with an aura of aloofness and independence surrounding him, but his clear and pure eyes seemed to reflect the Milky Way, encompassing all things, and possessing tolerance and love for all living beings.
At that time, his elders told him that she was the only person in the world who truly had great love.
Unfortunately, I never had the chance to see him again.
The next news I heard about that person was that he failed his tribulation and was struck by heavenly lightning, his soul scattered and even his physical body was not preserved.
Then, the Tianji Sect was besieged, and all its disciples were killed.
Thinking of the past, Bai Xuan felt a surge of resentment, and he held Qi Qi even tighter.
The little girl was in some pain from being strangled, and she glanced at him.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, she frowned and swallowed back what she was about to say.
He simply said, "I'm fine now. You go and help Little Tiger and the others drive away the demonized people!"
"Are you really alright?" Bai Xuan asked, still worried.
Qiqi nodded.
The girl beside her assured her, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Bai Xuan then handed Qi Qi over to the girl and turned to join the battle.
With his arrival, the tide of battle quickly turned.
Under Qiqi's guidance, the group precisely attacked the weaknesses of the mutated creatures and quickly cleared out all the monsters.
After the battle, the surviving cultivators gathered around to thank Qiqi and the others.
"Many thanks for your help, fellow Daoists!" The leader was a disciple of the Xuantian Sect. He cupped his hands and said, "I am Cheng Yuan of the Xuantian Sect. These are my fellow disciples who survived from various sects. May I ask which sect you three belong to?"
Cheng Yuan's curious gaze fell on Qi Qi, the youngest of the three.
This little girl looks only three or four years old. How did she end up in such a dangerous secret realm?
Moreover, judging from her appearance just now, it seems that she is good at talismans and healing. Talisman cultivators and healers themselves do not have much combat ability and need to be protected by sword cultivators or the like. How come her masters are so comfortable letting her come to a place like this?
Little Rabbit Qiqi tilted her head and said, "Hello, Brother Cheng Yuan. My name is Qiqi. I don't belong to any sect. These two are my partners, Bai Xuan and Hu Ying."
Their soft, cuddly appearance is simply adorable.
Cheng Yuan looked at Qi Qi, his eyes filled with curiosity. "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Qi Qi is actually a rogue cultivator. However, I've never seen the technique you used to purify demonic energy before. I wonder which sect's unique skill it is?"
Qiqi blinked her big eyes, "I think I saw it in a book, and I just practiced it for fun."
A child who is just over three years old, practicing casually for fun, was actually able to purify the demonic energy of a demon general.
If it were a specialized family secret technique, and one mastered it to perfection, wouldn't it be able to easily purify even the demonic energy of the Demon Lord?
Cheng Yuan's eyes flickered, but he wisely refrained from asking further questions and instead asked, "Are the three of you also here to investigate the matter of demonic energy?"
Bai Xuan shook his head. "We entered this place by chance and happened to save a fellow Daoist from the Qingxuan Sect. That's how we learned that a crack had appeared in the sealed land and demonic energy was leaking out. So we came here to check and see if there's anything we can do to help."
Cheng Yuan's expression turned solemn. "So that's how it is! Fortunately, we encountered the three of you today, otherwise we would probably all have died at the hands of those demonized people."
"Brother Cheng Yuan, can you tell me more about the current situation?" Qi Qi asked.
Cheng Yuan nodded. "According to our investigation, the closer we get to the core area, the stronger the demonized creatures become. You saw those demonized people just now; they were all disciples of the sect who sacrificed themselves earlier. We don't know why, but they were corrupted by demonic energy and have all turned into demonized people. Moreover, those were just the vanguard; the real danger is yet to come."
He paused, then lowered his voice, "Moreover, we suspect that the demons have already sent an inside agent to infiltrate the secret realm."
Bai Xuan raised an eyebrow. "How do you know?"
