The Southern Demonic Land is very similar to the Northern Wilderness, with several long mountain ranges connected by rivers and jungles.

Different from the prosperous towns of Dongxiu and Xihuang, the land of Nanmo is mostly small villages, most of which are inhabited by mortals who all seek shelter from neighboring forces.

Among them, the three major demon sects that shelter the most villages are the Qinglian Sect, the Chiyun Mountain Sect, and the Tianyun Sect.

However, since the demise of the Qinglian Sect, the villages that were under its protection soon became deserted.

At this time, the disciples of Zhenyang Sect were in such a desolate village.

The houses were dilapidated or collapsed, dried bloodstains could be seen everywhere on the ground, and the waning moon in the sky was illuminating the scene, and a feeling of desolation suddenly surged into everyone's mind.

Xu Caihe couldn't help but ask: "After the three major sects destroyed the Qinglian Sect, why didn't they send people to take over these villages?"

Her father was the mayor of Zhenlian City. She had seen prosperous scenes since she was a child. Even the small villages near Zhenlian City were extremely prosperous and lively.

Seeing such a desolate scene at this moment, I feel it is unbelievable.

Zhou Ling'er also said: "Yes, this village is not small, and I think the population is not small. Why is it left to be so desolate?"

Cheng Qingyu sneered: "You are the daughter of a city lord and the eldest daughter of a family, but you don't even understand this."

The two of them glared at her. Zhou Linger asked coldly, "Then why do you ask, Teacher Sister?"

Cheng Qingyu glanced at them and said calmly, "The people in these villages have been protected by the Qinglian Sect for many years and have long been connected to the Demon Sect by blood. How could they accept our jurisdiction?"

"What's more, Dong Xiu is far away from Nan Mo. Sending disciples here to manage a few small villages without any cultivation resources is a waste of manpower, isn't it?"

Xu Caihe retorted: "But we are eradicating the Demon Sect for the sake of the people of the world, aren't we? Since we have already destroyed the Qinglian Sect, why can't we save the people of this village?"

"All the people in the world?"

Cheng Qingyu sneered: "The people of Dongxiu are the people of the world. It was a great favor not to kill all the mortals who colluded with the Demon Sect. Sister Xu, you are so naive. How could City Lord Xu let you leave Zhenlian City?"

"What did you say?"

Xu Caihe's pretty face flushed, and Mo Xiaolan next to her suddenly spoke:

"The battle between good and evil is a fight between cultivators. Ordinary people just want to live in peace. If they were born in the land of Eastern Cultivation, they would not need to seek shelter from the Qinglian Sect. How can we convict them at will? If so, what is the difference between us and the Demon Sect?"

"How dare you!" Five or six disciples beside Cheng Qingyu shouted at Mo Xiaolan:

"How dare a newly-initiated disciple say such outrageous words? Senior Sister Cheng is right to doubt you!"

"Yes, Lan Yin, you actually spoke for the Demon Sect. I'm afraid your origins are really unknown!"

"My fellow brothers and sisters, please don't bully you. I want to learn from you!"

These people have all secretly received support from the Cheng family's resources. They are on good terms with Cheng Qingyu on a daily basis, and seeing that she is already a Nascent Soul cultivator, they all stand on her side at this moment.

One of the male disciples named Zheng Wei stood up and looked at Mo Xiaolan coldly. The other few people also stood around Mo Xiaolan and surrounded her.

A burly and tall figure stood in front of Mo Xiaolan and said coldly:

"During the Blue Sound Beast Tide, you killed the monsters and saved the people. I wonder where you were at that time?"

When these people saw that it was He Zhiqiu who "retreat the Red Flame Fox alone", they hesitated for a moment. At this time, Cheng Qingyu took a step forward and instantly came in front of Qin Gengyun, looking up at him:

"I've heard that Junior Brother He's body training skills are amazing, so today is a good opportunity to learn from him."

Qiu Zhihe didn't move, but instantly arrived in front of Qin Gengyun, looking at Cheng Qingyu coldly.

She didn't say anything, but a chill came out of her, and Zheng Wei and several people around him couldn't help but shiver.

I couldn't help but be shocked.

Ruomei is clearly only at the Jindan stage, so why is she putting so much pressure on us?

Cheng Qingyu snorted coldly, and a powerful aura surged from his body, dispelling the icy air.

"If Junior Sister seems to be more than just at the fourth level of the Golden Core, why don't you reveal everything you have hidden today?"

Several people on both sides were confronting each other, and a pretty figure as gentle as water appeared in the middle and said gently:

"It's late at night, everyone should take a rest."

Cheng Qingyu looked at Wei Wan and suddenly laughed: "I forgot that Senior Sister Wei fought side by side with He Zhiqiu, Ruomei, and Lan Yin in Yunling Town and Zhenlian City. They had a deep friendship and a tacit understanding."

These words sounded sarcastic, but Wei Wan's expression remained gentle, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes:

"Junior Sister Cheng, it's not easy to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage."

Cheng Qingyu smiled: "Senior sister, you are extremely talented. Even if I am in the Nascent Soul stage, I may not be your opponent. But senior sister, don't forget who made you have such a cultivation level today?"

Wei Wan was shocked and looked at Cheng Qingyu in astonishment.

"Okay, stop arguing. The South Demon Land is full of dangers. We should unite as one!"

Su Xin spoke, and the tense atmosphere among the crowd eased a little. Su Xi continued:

"This place is still hundreds of miles away from Qinglian Mountain. Let's rest here tonight. Leave two groups of people to take turns, and the rest of you can rest."

"yes!"

Everyone bowed in response. Cheng Qingyu looked at Mo Xiaolan coldly and turned away.

Zheng Wei and others followed her.

Liusu made a face at the backs of the people, gave Qin Gengyun a thumbs up, and said in a coquettish voice:

"Brother, you are awesome~"

Qin Gengyun glared at her unhappily, and bowed to Wei Wan and said:

"Thank you, Senior Sister Wei, for your help."

There were many people around, so Wei Wan just nodded slightly and left with Su Xin.

"Let's go and find a place to rest."

Qiu Zhihe walked towards the other side of the village with an expressionless face, and several people followed her. Qiu Zhihe seemed to be very familiar with the village and soon found a large house with several well-preserved rooms.

Enough for several people to stay for tonight.

The four people and the bird entered a room. Qiu Zhihe raised his hand and drew a magic circle to isolate them. He said coldly:

"She did it on purpose."

Qin Gengyun nodded: "She just wants to lure us into action. Cheng Qingyu is quite scheming."

Liusu snorted, "She has been hiding at the second level of Nascent Soul for so long, so she must be a scheming woman!"

Mo Xiaolan was silent for a moment: "When I reach the peak of the Golden Core, I should be able to fight her."

Several people turned to look at her, and Qin Gengyun suddenly laughed: "Xiaolan, you were not so aggressive before."

Ever since Wu Yiren discovered that she was a girl, Mo Xiaolan seemed to have changed a little, and she was even more murderous than before.

The phoenix turned back into human form, smoothed its messy long hair, and its peak trembled as it hummed proudly:

"She's only at the second level of Nascent Soul. I can kill her right now!"

Liusu also gave her a thumbs up: "She is worthy of being my son-in-law's bird!"

"Okay, be careful tonight and don't let anyone plot against you."

Qiu Zhihe said.

Several people each found a room, and none of them slept. Instead, they all sat cross-legged to practice.

Two hours later, the night grew darker.

"ah!!"

Suddenly, a scream was heard!
