C5 Repentance

On the Nine Continents, there was a word that all cultivators avoided saying, and that was a demon. A person would rather fall into the path of demons than have any contact with a demon. To be precise, it should be a demon. Of course, falling into the demonic path was a very serious matter. If he could return to the right path, then it was fine, but if he never returned, then he would be no different from a demon. He would also be ostracized and killed by the cultivators of the Nine Continents.

Why would they be afraid of monsters? Naturally, in this world, humans and devils could not be separated. This world was divided into three realms, Immortal Realm, human realm and devil realm. The Immortal Realm and the human world had always been on the same front line. Legend has it that in the ancient times, the army of the demon realm invaded the human world, causing the entire human world to almost be destroyed.

As long as they were non-demon beings, they would definitely be killed and destroyed. They were simply demons, no, they were called demon monsters themselves, which was also a good explanation for why they were called demon monsters.

They didn't want to be trapped in that tiny demon realm, which was why they wanted to invade the humongous human world and turn it into the demon realm's territory.

This lesson allowed all cultivators on the Nine Continents to understand. Humans and devils could not be separated, and on the Nine Continents, they could even talk about demonic transformations. Once a demon was discovered, the experts on the Nine Continents would join forces to kill it.

That was why the Sect Leader was in such a hurry when Shui Wuyi mentioned the word "demon". Her Senior Brother had fallen into the demonic path, but that did not mean that demons would appear in the Qionghua. If this news was spread, it was likely that the thousand years of foundation of the Qionghua would be destroyed by the sounds of suppression.

Bai didn't know about these things, so he asked a question. Shui Wuyi, on the other hand, had only said these words because she was still too young, and everything that had happened today had caused her to lose all sense of reason.

At this point, the Sect Leader did not want to blame him anymore. If this disciple of hers was real, then this matter would be the biggest shame of the Qionghua Sect.

"Yi'er, this is … "Really …"

The Sect Leader's legs were slightly weak. She had not lost her composure this way in the previous battle, and it must have been even more of a blow to her than when her Senior Brother fell into the Devil Dao when a devil appeared in her Qionghua.

To be honest, when she first heard her Uncle-Master's conversation with that weird voice, she couldn't come up with this idea. Because there were too few monsters in the world, and she had never seen this so-called demon before, so she thought it was some kind of weird guest. It was only when Bai Bai asked that she remembered about this matter, and she didn't know why she thought of it.

At this moment, Xiao Bai asked, "What else do you know?"

These words were naturally directed at Shui Wuyi, and he even directly ignored the Sect Leader.

The elders at the side had long since been unable to continue watching. Who the hell are you, this is a matter of my Qionghua Sect, can you manage it by yourself?

However, they did not dare to. It was not as if they hadn't seen Bai Yi defeat the devil in one strike. Facing such a powerful person, they simply had no say in the matter.

The Sect Leader was also very curious, this person seemed to be very interested in that so-called demon. His strength was so strong, could it be that he had already reached the Void Discerning Level and was able to see through the mysteries of heaven and earth?

The hierarchy of the Nine Regions started out as a system of spirits, with the order of ordinary bodies, agility, and intelligence. To be able to reach the Wisdom Awakening Realm, one could already assume the role of a teacher in the Qionghua Sect.

These three stages were body refining stages, especially when one reached the step in the air. They would be able to stand in the air and look down upon the entire Zhaonan Continent.

In the end, this was also the most difficult part, because of the Heavenly Passage mentioned by the Sect Leader.

In reality, it was to pry into the mysteries of heaven and earth, comprehend the Tao techniques of heaven and earth, and from within, comprehend one's own Dao. It was to step onto a path of cultivation that was even stronger!

Even they, the Sect Elders, were unable to reach the Void Discerning Level, yet this person was an existence of that level?

Shui Wuyi, on the other hand, was flattered. Previously, she had kept on talking with Bai Xiang, but this time, she had received a cold look from the other side. She had not expected herself to be talked to.

"Just, exactly two months ago … I only heard that voice when I was passing by Martial Uncle's room. It sounded a bit weird and hoarse, and I felt that it would be hard to breathe when I got close, so I didn't dare to stay for long before I left. At that time, I thought that it was because of Martial Uncle's pressure, but now that I think about it … "

At this point, everyone understood that this wasn't caused by pressure at all, but was the unique miasma of the demons. With Shui Wuyi's current cultivation level, it was not surprising that she was eroded by the miasma.

"How could this be …"

The Sect Leader's legs went limp and she sat on the ground, tears flowing from her eyes. "It's all my fault …" Senior Brother, he … "Only then will he …"

"Master …" Shui Wuyi also went limp and sat with her.

"Sect Leader …" After all, demons had appeared in the sect, and this kind of thing was really not good. It could be said that if this matter was leaked out, the reputation of Qionghua would probably be instantly destroyed.

Although the Nine Continents were also in chaos, their thoughts against the demons were very consistent. There were even demon slaying squads that specialized in killing the demons, enough to show just how strong the hatred the living beings of the Nine Continents had for the demons.

This matter must not be leaked out. Fortunately, the elders were present here and Shui Wuyi was also one of his disciples. As long as he could handle this matter, no one would talk about it and no one would know about it. As for the mysterious expert in front of him, the Sect Leader believed that he would not reveal this to anyone. This was because this person spoke very little and was very serious. He didn't seem like someone who would spread the news. Moreover, she could feel that this person seemed to have a very strong grudge towards the monster.

Xiao Bai did not know what the Sect Leader was planning, nor did he want to know. With the appearance of the first monster, Meng'er's situation became more and more serious. The most important thing was to make the most of it.

Bai Yi carried Meng'er, who was sleeping soundly, and turned around to walk towards another direction. After defeating that person, he flew away with his injuries. He had concealed his aura very well, but it couldn't be hidden from Bai's senses.

However, after Xiao Bai took a step forward, a timid disciple immediately ran out and knelt in front of the Sect Leader. "Sect Leader, this disciple deserves to die. This disciple has tried his best, but that devil is too strong …"

However, the moment he climbed out, a look of disgust appeared on Shui Wuyi's face. This person was the coward who had mercilessly abandoned her to escape in front of Claw's eyes. He was not a man at all.

But now, he was talking nonsense, saying that he had fought with that demon and lost. Only a fool would believe that! Didn't they see that the Sect Leader and the several Sect Elders were not that devil's match? He actually had the face to say that he had lost.

However, Shui Wuyi didn't report this matter to the Sect Leader, so the Sect Leader was skeptical of his words. Was this disciple really that capable?

At this time, the first elder stood up and laughed, "This is my eldest disciple He Qiang. His talent is extraordinary and his cultivation is extraordinary. It should be true."

It was evident that the elder was very pleased to have this kind of disciple.

Shui Wuyi frowned, thinking that both master and disciple were too shameless. Just as she was about to expose He Qiang's fake mask, she suddenly stopped her actions.

Bai didn't care about He Qiang at all. As he walked out, he carried a gust of wind with him as he passed by He Qiang. In that instant, He Qiang's entire body went limp, as if he had lost all of his strength.

He Qiang couldn't even utter a word. He could only stare wide-eyed, feeling as if his cultivation had been crippled and he couldn't muster any strength.

No matter how confused the people were, they could tell it was all a waste. However, since the opponent's strength was there, what qualifications did they have to challenge him?

However, Shui Wuyi was stunned for a long time. She did not know what the others were thinking. This senior must have done it for her, because he was the only one who was present at the scene in the forest.

Looking at Bai's slowly fading back, for a moment she didn't want to look away.

The reason why she acted in vain was simple. Helping Shui Wuyi was real, but it was because she had truly treated Meng'er before. When her sharp claws were about to attack Meng'er, she protected Meng'er without any hesitation.

Without wasting any time on nonsense, and not caring about what the people from the Qionghua Sect thought, Xiao Bai quickly arrived at a relatively quiet hall. There were no decorations here, nor was it as grand as the main hall. There were only candlelight and a suffocating atmosphere. Of course, this was only limited to people other than Bai and Meng'er.

This was the spirit hall of the Qionghua Sect, and all the famous ancestors' spirit tablets were raised here. Although the house was rather simple and crude, it was the most noble place in the entire Qionghua, and ordinary disciples were not allowed to go near it.

He was still an outsider like Xiao Bai, who broke the precedent of Qionghua and entered the mourning hall.

After that, the Sect Leader and the others were all very surprised, because the Spirit Hall was the most tightly guarded place in the Qionghua Sect, after all, all of the previous ancestors lived here, and outside the Spirit Shrine, there were restrictions that normal people would not be able to decipher.

This restriction was created by the third generation Sect Leader of the Qionghua, and it has a history of 700 years. Furthermore, the previous Sect Leader would reinforce it, for those who are not the Sect Leader, they would definitely not be able to break it, if they were to forcefully break the restriction, they would only be affected by the backlash, so no matter how high their cultivation was, they would be fine. How did this man get here?

In the next moment, the doubt in her heart was dispelled, because in the mourning hall, that devil, her senior brother, was standing there silently.

Although only the Sect Leader could break this restriction, her senior apprentice brother's cultivation was far above hers, and he was the only other person in the world who knew how to break it.

"Senior apprentice-brother …"

The Sect Leader was still in disbelief. She couldn't help but feel regret. Had she really forced him to do this?

Xiao Bai also looked at the man in front of him quietly. He had a head full of flowery hair, but he didn't say anything as he faced the ancestral spirit tablets of the Qionghua.

Suddenly, the man took a deep breath and slowly turned around. His face was filled with the vicissitudes of life. Adding on his white hair, he looked extremely old.

"Junior Sister …" Did I really do something wrong … "

There was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. Thinking about it, Bai Yue's attack just now had woken him up, which was why he said that.

The Sect Leader shook her head, "No, no …" "It's all my fault, I made it difficult for senior brother …"
