Rong Zi was taken aback and looked up at him.
"But the demonic energy on your body hasn't been cleared away yet."
Ling Mo lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "These demonic energies have invaded my spiritual veins. If I were to remove them, all my cultivation would be lost."
When demonic energy merges into a spiritual vein, the only solution is to destroy the spiritual vein itself.
But if that were the case, he would become a useless person.
The family feud remains unresolved.
His cultivation level is still useful.
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi frowned deeply.
Although she hadn't found a way to successfully take Ling Mo as her disciple during this period, she had gained some understanding of him after spending these days together.
Although he has a gloomy temperament, his appearance always gives people a feeling of being unapproachable.
But in reality, Ling Mo is not a bad person.
Not only are they not bad, but they can even be described as upright and of good character.
The reason Ling Mo refused to stay was not only because he was eager to avenge his family, but also because he didn't want to implicate the three of them and bring unnecessary disaster to others.
Rong Zi opened her lips, "Actually..."
"Master, something terrible has happened! Something terribly wrong!" Gu Xiaochui and Yun Jing suddenly rushed back from outside the sect in a great hurry.
Gu Xiaochui was short of materials for forging weapons, so the two of them went out to buy some today.
Hearing their commotion, Rong Zi frowned and asked, "What terrible thing has happened?"
Yun Jing, panting heavily, stepped forward and grabbed Ling Mo's sleeve, looking up at him.
"Big brother, you can't leave here now. There are people outside who want to kill you."
Rong Zi and Ling Mo felt a slight unease.
Gu Xiaochui took a deep breath and explained urgently.
“We just heard outside that the five demons in the Junmang Mountain Secret Realm died before they could be brought to the Immortal Alliance. Ling Mo’s innocence has not been cleared, and everyone in the cultivation world is still calling for his death, vowing to kill him!”
"Not only that, but everyone even believes that the demons in the Junmang Mountain Secret Realm were put in by Ling Mo in collusion, with the aim of taking this opportunity to harm our new generation of human geniuses. They also say that Ling Mo has practiced the evil arts of the demon race and is now a very dangerous demon. We must capture him and kill him as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
"Many people were captured by the demons in the Junmang Mountain Secret Realm last time. I heard that it was all done by Ling Mo in collusion with the demons, and the forces behind these people have been angered."
"It's no exaggeration to say that the entire cultivation world is in an uproar right now. Ling Mo's portrait is plastered everywhere on the streets. He has now become the public enemy of the entire cultivation world."
After listening, Rong Zi's small face was filled with a solemn expression.
"How did those demons die?"
That shouldn't be the case.
Although those demons were indeed seriously injured, they were, after all, at the Nascent Soul stage. How could they possibly succumb to their injuries on the way to the Immortal Alliance?
If it was suicide, then it's even less likely.
Their cultivation had been sealed, and they were escorted by disciples of the five major sects. How could they possibly commit suicide under the noses of so many people?
Gu Xiaochui replied, "He was murdered."
"It is said that the chief disciples of the five major sects personally led those demons, but they encountered a group of people who blocked their way. Those people were all covered in demonic energy, concealing their appearance. The leader's cultivation was at least at the late stage of the Void Refinement stage. Fortunately, they did not intend to kill the disciples of the five major sects at that time, but only wanted to silence the five demons."
Ling Mo exuded a chilling aura. "You mean to say that those people blocking the road are demons?"
Gu Xiaochui replied, "That's what everyone's saying."
However, Rong Zi rejected it without even thinking.
"impossible!"
The group looked at her, and Gu Xiaochui asked, "What's impossible?"
“Those people blocking the road are definitely not demons.”
"Why?"
Rong Zi stroked his chin and analyzed, "Back in the Junmang Mountain Secret Realm, the Demon Clan spared no effort in capturing humans, and seemed completely unconcerned about the lives of our human cultivators. If those who blocked our path were truly Demon Clan members, how could they have so easily let go of the disciples of the Five Great Sects?"
"Moreover, at that time, they absolutely overwhelmed the disciples of the five major sects in terms of both manpower and cultivation. Yet, instead of directly rescuing their people from the disciples of the five major sects, they even chose to kill them to silence them. Doesn't anyone find this strange?"
Ling Mo thought of a possibility and asked in surprise, "You mean to say..."
Rong Zi raised an eyebrow. "I remember that Xu Liuhan, the head of the Xu family, is currently at the late stage of the Void Refinement stage, just one step away from the Integration stage."
"You mean the people blocking the road weren't from the demon race, but rather the Xu family patriarch himself led a group there?" Gu Xiaochui was shocked.
Are the Xu family really this arrogant?
Rong Zi shrugged. "Otherwise, how do you explain the doubts I just mentioned?"
"Since those people blocking the road didn't rescue those demons, it means that the lives of those demons are not important to them. If they had rescued them, the Immortal Alliance would have definitely launched a major investigation, which might have brought them some unforeseen trouble. All they wanted to do was silence those demons."
"As for the disciples of the Five Great Sects, the Five Great Sects have a much higher status in the cultivation world than the Seven Great Cultivation Families. Those who blocked the road did not harm the disciples of the Five Great Sects, which is obviously because they were afraid of the power of the Five Great Sects. They were worried that if things were exposed, the Five Great Sects could wipe them out with a flick of their fingers."
