Chapter 85: The Demonic Path

What if the Huayang sect’s branch is destroyed?Su Jingzhen was certain that he hadn’t just hallucinated. Luo Yuebai had indeed said those words.

He wasn’t stupid, and his gaze unconsciously fell upon the corpses of Huayang Sect disciples scattered around the edge of the square.

In an instant, he realized that the black-clothed assassins who had suddenly appeared were all backed by Luo Yuebai’s power!

Stunned, Su Jingzhen looked at Luo Yuebai: “Friend Luo, you…”

Seeing the shock on Su Jingzhen’s face, Luo Yuebai smiled again.

“I’ll ask you, Friend Su, if Huayang Sect is about to be destroyed, would you be willing to join me in a venture?”

As he spoke, Luo Yuebai’s eyes were sincere and expectant.

He knew that when speaking to intelligent people, not everything needed to be explicitly stated.

A hint was enough, and Su Jingzhen would understand.

At the same time, Shuang Jiang’s gaze also turned curious as she looked at Su Jingzhen.

Since Luo Yuebai had moved to Su Jingzhen’s side, Shuang Jiang had already known his identity.

Now, she was curious to see what choice Su Jingzhen would make.

However, upon hearing Luo Yuebai’s words, Su Jingzhen firmly shook his head.

“No, I’m used to being free and only want to be a carefree wandering cultivator. I don’t want to join any faction.”

Was his desire for freedom genuine, or was he really refusing Luo Yuebai because of their emotional connection?

If Luo Yuebai were a woman, he might not have refused so decisively.

Even now, he was tempted by the idea of borrowing Luo Yuebai’s power to achieve something, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

This didn’t conflict with his desire for freedom.

However, he, Su Jingzhen, also had his own bottom line.

If the two of them really worked together, and Luo Yuebai genuinely developed feelings for him, how would that end?

Occasionally visiting the Flower Moon Pavilion to drink and indulge in the gentle care of the female cultivators was something Su Jingzhen would be delighted to do.

But he absolutely couldn’t accept being tied down by someone!

For this reason, he would rather not receive any benefits from Luo Yuebai.

In comparison, Shuang Jiang leaving and occasionally refining elixirs to sell at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and frequently interacting with Feng Qingya, was the right path for Su Jingzhen.

After all, Feng Qingya was extremely pleasing to the eye, even just standing there.

On this point, Su Jingzhen couldn’t deny his true feelings.

Luo Yuebai was slightly taken aback, not having expected Su Jingzhen to refuse so decisively.

He nodded slightly, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on his lips.

“Very well, people have their own aspirations. I didn’t expect Friend Su to agree immediately.”

He paused, and the smile on his face suddenly vanished.

“However, the future is long…”

Instead, a fierce and intense killing intent emerged.

Luo Yuebai’s handsome face had turned extremely cold!

“Now, I’ll solve the problem that’s been worrying you, Friend Su!”

“Kill all of the Huayang Sect disciples without mercy!”

After saying this to Su Jingzhen, Luo Yuebai’s voice, wrapped in energy, spread throughout the entire square.

The black-clothed mysterious figures, who had briefly paused earlier, now surged with energy again.

Their killing intent boiling over, they charged towards the remaining Huayang Sect disciples.

At this moment, the aura on these black-clothed figures was completely exposed, without any concealment.

Their aura suddenly turned eerie and sinister, becoming even more menacing!

Many people’s bodies were now shrouded in a layer of dark energy.

This was reminiscent of the demonic cultivator Su Jingzhen had seen on the street that day, killing people.

It was even possible that the demonic cultivator who had killed people that day was among these black-clothed figures!

“Demonic cultivators!”

“This… this… this is a large-scale demonic cultivator operation!”

“Oh my heavens!”

“Is the demonic path making a comeback on a large scale?”

“Run for your lives!”

“……”

In a small place like Linjiang City, the lower-level cultivators were already terrified of demonic cultivators.

When a demonic cultivator had killed someone on the street that day, it had already caused widespread fear, and people had been cautious ever since, afraid of encountering a demonic cultivator.

Who had ever seen such a large-scale operation by demonic cultivators?

The onlookers who had initially come to watch the excitement were now panicking.

Everyone was terrified, and they all fled in different directions.

However, they had only taken a few steps when they suddenly found themselves back on the square.

This was because even more demonic cultivators were pouring out of the various buildings and grand halls of Huayang Sect.

It was clear that those palaces had just been subjected to a bloodbath by these demonic cultivators!

It was all because of Luo Yuebai’s single order that the situation on the scene suddenly changed into this unexpected outcome.

Even Su Jingzhen, who was standing beside Luo Yuebai, felt his heart racing with shock.

After Shuang Jiang’s warning, he had known that Luo Yuebai was not ordinary.

But he had never thought that he was a demonic cultivator leader!

At this time, the faces of the eight Golden Core cultivators suddenly changed.

The only one who remained calm was perhaps Shuang Jiang.

From the beginning, the Huayang Sect disciples were no match for the demonic cultivators.

After they revealed their identities, the Huayang Sect disciples were left with only fear in their hearts.

Most of them lost the will to fight and only wanted to escape.

The situation was rapidly becoming one-sided.

Although the Huayang Sect disciples were numerous, they quickly fell one by one.

At this time, a ray of light suddenly shot up from the crowd.

The person was none other than Cao Qing, the Vice Sect Master of Huayang Sect’s Linjiang Branch!

Earlier, when the eight Golden Core cultivators and Senior Jiuchi were facing off, he had already sensed something was amiss.

Because all the major sects’ Golden Core cultivators had appeared, except for Huayang Sect’s!

At that time, he had already made himself inconspicuous and slipped into the crowd.

Now, the sudden outbreak of demonic cultivators further confirmed his unease.

Each person was fleeing for their lives.

Even as the Vice Sect Master of Huayang Sect, he didn’t have the resolve to share the same fate as the sect.

Cultivators were inherently selfish and cold-blooded, and even the highest sense of sect honor couldn’t compare to the value of one’s own life.

However, when Cao Qing flew up with his sword, Luo Yuebai suddenly let out a cold laugh. seaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“You want to escape? Too late!”

Before his voice fell, Luo Yuebai directly tossed the folding fan in his hand into the air.

Immediately, he took a step forward and flew towards Cao Qing.

His speed was much faster than Cao Qing’s.

Su Jingzhen quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It was no wonder he received double emotional connection, with a cultivation boost that could reach twice the normal level.

Luo Yuebai’s cultivation should be far superior to Cao Qing’s.

“Red Moon Slash!”

After flying into the air, Luo Yuebai suddenly formed a hand seal.

A crimson, curved moon-shaped virtual image suddenly slashed towards Cao Qing, who was fleeing in front.

However, Cao Qing suddenly tossed out a talisman.

With a flash of light, the talisman transformed into a yellow-brown shield, protecting him from behind.

At this time, Cao Qing was determined to escape and had no intention of tangling with Luo Yuebai.
