Chapter 3: The Blood-Sucking Demoness
“Heroine Lin! Let’s just rush into this broken sect and drag the person out!”
“That’s right, this Tianyan Sect is just an empty shell, there’s no one inside!”
“Everyone, let’s catch that blood-sucking demoness and burn her as a sacrifice to the heavens!”
A group of martial artists stood behind a heroine, chattering away.
Their fervent demeanor made it seem like they wanted to devour the so-called demoness alive.
Lin Qingxue, known for her long-standing fight against evil, had a high reputation in Baicheng. Almost everyone who recognized her would respectfully call her Heroine Lin.
As the daughter of the Lin family, she inherited her parents’ looks. With just a little grooming, she could captivate anyone.
Unfortunately, she had tied her long black hair neatly, wore a set of tight-fitting clothes, and didn’t deliberately showcase her cuteness.
However, the cute cat-shaped jade pendant tied to her waist indicated that she was still a girl who loved beauty.
Even though she wore tight-fitting clothes, they couldn’t hide her graceful figure. Her beautiful curves made her body look like a work of art.
Lin Qingxue tried hard to make her gaze sharper, but she couldn’t hide the clear, rippling spring water in her eyes.
She took a deep breath, “If we force our way in, wouldn’t we be no different from thieves?”
Although she was famous, others knew she had a characteristic of being very “rigid.”
Some admired this trait, but many more did not.
“Tianyan Sect Master! Come out and face us!” Hearing the murmurs of the other martial artists behind her, Lin Qingxue helplessly shouted towards the door.
Tianyan Sect, once one of the eight major demon sects, was said to have suffered a massacre and had since disappeared from the martial world.
Lin Qingxue, only nineteen years old, considered the Tianyan Sect’s matters to be mere legends, as she wasn’t even born before the sect’s decline.
However, she had heard that the Tianyan Sect was an utterly evil sect.
Other practitioners needed to take elixirs and collect heavenly materials to temper their bodies and souls, but the Tianyan Sect was strange; they prohibited the use of these.
But without these aids, it was impossible to cultivate. Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was the essence of cultivation.
So the only possibility was that the Tianyan Sect used other methods to cultivate.
Therefore, the Tianyan Sect must have used evil methods for cultivation, such as drinking blood, eating flesh, extracting other practitioners’ powers, and even engaging in obscene acts.
And for countless years, the Tianyan Sect never came out to clarify, thus solidifying its reputation as a demon sect.
Lin Qingxue tightly held her sword, staring at the main hall gate of Tianyan Sect.
They walked up from the mountain gate, completely unimpeded, making one wonder if there was anyone in Tianyan Sect at all.
However, she did not let her guard down. She knew she was facing people from the Demon Sect, and any carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.
Her father had told her to be cautious when traveling outside, as there were many despicable people.
And Lin Qingxue believed that among the people of the Demon Sect, eleven out of ten were despicable.
“Don’t worry, Lady Lin, we will definitely protect you!” The heroes, who were weaker than Lin Qingxue, boasted one after another.
Some of the men among them were racking their brains to win Lin Qingxue’s favor.
Not to mention her stunning appearance, just the identity of the Lin family’s daughter was enough to make them fight for it.
If they could somehow win Lin Qingxue’s favor, they wouldn’t have to worry even if they broke their legs.
“Thank you all for your kindness!” Lin Qingxue cupped her hands and said gratefully, “This demoness will definitely be punished!”
The naive Lin Qingxue mistakenly thought that these heroes were sincerely there to support her, and she was full of gratitude.
“Hey… Anyway, good morning?” Suddenly, a lazy voice came from the main hall.
He Youzhou gathered his sleeves and looked at the group of heroes.
However, the heroes in front of him didn’t even glance at him, all of them staring straight at Zhishi.
Even Lin Qingxue, who was also a woman, couldn’t take her eyes off Zhishi.
Lin Qingxue grabbed her clothes, regretting for the first time that she dressed so plainly.
“As expected of the remnants of the Demon Sect…” Lin Qingxue’s unwilling words squeezed out from between her teeth.
If she had dressed like this demoness from the Demon Sect, she would definitely not lose.
Zhishi heard Lin Qingxue’s words, glanced at her indifferently, and said nothing.
“So, what do you want to do with such a big show at our Tianyan Sect?” He Youzhou asked, “If you want to tear down our sect, you can go back. We’ve been torn down once before, and there’s nothing left for you to tear down.”
“This time, I’m not here to cause trouble for you remnants of the Demon Sect.” Perhaps out of jealousy of Zhishi’s beauty, Lin Qingxue’s words were full of vinegar, almost snorting.
“I hope you hand over the demoness inside.” Although she was talking to He Youzhou, her eyes were always on Zhishi.
“Hand over your demoness too!” Then someone in the crowd said, his tone full of lust.
“So that’s how it is, you can come in and search yourselves.” He Youzhou said lazily, making way for them.
With a stern face, Zhishi also made way, but her eyes were unfriendly when she looked at Lin Qingxue.
Lin Qingxue naturally noticed Zhishi’s gaze, but she didn’t understand why she was being glared at.
Could it be because she called her a demon cult witch? That must be the reason.
“Let’s go, let’s search inside, we absolutely cannot let that witch come out and harm people again.” Lin Qingxue frowned, leading a group of martial artists into the Tianyan Sect.
“Master, is this okay?” Zhishi suddenly asked He Youzhou.
“There’s nothing wrong with it.” He Youzhou yawned, wanting to go back to meditate.
Although he preferred reading novels and comics over meditating, if he read too fast, it wouldn’t be good once he finished them.
