Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 357 Zhao Yuanzhen Defeats His Inner Demon

Zhao Yuanzhen and Chen Lingyun won battle after battle, fighting their way from the east side of the forest to the west side, and they were invincible all the way.

The enemy was a large group of righteous monks in illusion. Some wielded flying swords, some practiced Taoist magic, some danced with magical weapons, some commanded spirit beasts... Of course, none of them could stand up to the demonic woman, and she slaughtered them in pieces.

In order to quickly consolidate their victory, the two fought and retreated. If the enemy was on the east side, they attacked the west side; if the enemy was on the south side, they attacked the north side.

We marched thousands of miles without a single defeat, and won battle after battle! The enemy continued to come in an endless stream, increasing in number!

In the chaos of killing, Zhao Yuanzhen didn't know when he lost Chen Lingyun. He looked around, but his heart was not confused. He only had a firm and courageous belief in fighting. His spiritual sense quickly scanned the surrounding terrain, and he was struggling to think of a way to shake off the massive pursuers behind him.

"The witch has been separated from her companions!" The righteous monks shouted in the distance, "The one wearing white is the witch!"

Zhao Yuanzhen immediately took off his clothes, threw them aside, and continued to rush forward.

"Her companion has twin ponytails!" the loud shouting behind him rang out again, "The one with a single ponytail is a witch!"

Zhao Yuanzhen quickly untied the hair tie, took out a second hair tie, and quickly tied her hair into two ponytails. Then she flew up on her sword again.

"The tall one is a witch!" The shouting continued.

Zhao Yuanzhen gritted her teeth. She had not practiced any kung fu like bone shrinking, but she was helpless at this moment and could only mobilize her true energy to speed up.

Chen Lingyun suddenly appeared from the hill in front and waved to Zhao Yuanzhen, signaling her to hurry over there.

Zhao Yuanzhen flew over and saw that there was a cave entrance on the back of the hill... He didn't care about anything else at this time and went in with Chen Lingyun.

The two hid in the cave. Zhao Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"How did you find this place?"

"I have my own way." Chen Lingyun said with a smile.

Only then did Zhao Yuanzhen remember that the other party was a ghost-controlling monk. Although his frontal combat ability was somewhat poor, his reconnaissance skills were indeed first-class.

"Why did your hairstyle change?" Chen Lingyun asked knowingly, "Did you change your clothes too?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll change it however I want." Zhao Yuanzhen interrupted her rudely, "How do we solve this situation now? We kill one group and another group comes. We can't kill them all! We can't let them die here, can we?"

"They are illusions." Chen Lingyun pondered for a moment and asked in a voice transmission, "Is there any way to break the illusion?"

"No." Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head. "If the caster is human, killing them is the fastest way to break it. But the illusion here is generated by the secret realm's restrictions. Can you really kill the secret realm mechanism? To put it bluntly, since you are in the secret realm, you must act according to the rules of the secret realm owner. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like the guest becomes the host? It's simply impossible."

"The Li Palace is a challenging secret realm," Chen Lingyun said with a smile. "Each level has its own design purpose. Judging from our current experience, this level is definitely not a test of our combat capabilities, otherwise we should have passed it long ago."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Yuanzhen nodded in agreement.

You are responsible for thinking, and I am responsible for everything.

"These illusions are mainly directed at you, right?" Chen Lingyun continued, "Tell me, who are they?"

The corner of Zhao Yuanzhen's eye twitched. He didn't want to admit it, but he had to find a way to solve the illusion outside. So he had no choice but to send a voice message and said frankly:

"They are my enemies."

"Enemy?" Chen Lingyun raised an eyebrow and said, "Just like Fairy Jinghong."

"Right." Zhao Yuanzhen chuckled, "You don't think I was some harmless character before coming to your world, do you? There are definitely more than one or two upright cultivators who have died at my hands."

"Why did you kill them?" Chen Lingyun asked curiously.

Zhao Yuanzhen: ………………“Good and evil cannot coexist, understand?” she said coldly.

"I understand." Chen Lingyun suddenly realized, "Good and evil cannot coexist. That's why they want to kill you, and you have no choice but to strike first and kill them in return."

Zhao Yuanzhen wanted to refute, but finally sighed and said:

"Could you please not be so perceptive... Well, the idea that good and evil cannot coexist is just a rhetoric. Essentially, it's just an excuse made up by those old, reputable and upright sects who want to monopolize cultivation resources and talent."

"I killed them simply to protect myself. Aside from the three famous and righteous sects, any sect that attempts to expand will inevitably become what they call an 'evil sect.' And once you're from an evil sect, you're naturally enemies of the cultivators of these three sects. This is our inescapable fate."

"I see." Chen Lingyun smiled knowingly. "In other words, you didn't kill them on your own initiative, but to protect yourself."

"You're afraid of them."

"Who wouldn't be afraid?" Zhao Yuanzhen sneered, "You don't understand the terror of the three great righteous sects at all. Kill the younger ones, and the older ones will come. Kill the older ones, and the immortal ones will come... You will always encounter one you can't defeat, and then that will be your death."

"Even if we ignore personal feuds, the same principle applies to sects. Initially, it's the lower-level disciples who turn on each other, then it spreads to the Jindan cultivators, and finally, the immortal generation fights each other. If one loses, the entire sect is destroyed... Over the centuries, how many sects have been destroyed by these three righteous sects? The righteous sects remain, while the heretical cults are ever-changing. It's always been like this."

"What if we avoid making enemies?" Chen Lingyun asked tentatively.

"How can we avoid this?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked her. "You and a righteous cultivator both have your eyes on this rare treasure. He claims it's destined for him. What will you do? Even if you simply give in, what if one day a righteous cultivator suddenly shows up on the street and claims your sister killed her junior brother? She wants to kill you to avenge him. What can you do?"

"Afraid? There's nothing I can do. I have to kill even if I'm afraid! If you spend all day thinking about avoiding enemies, your courage will be worn away sooner or later. If you don't even dare to offend people, how can you practice Taoism and become an immortal?"

"You're right," Chen Lingyun said slowly, "but since you know you can only kill, why are you still afraid?"

"I've already said that the strength of the three major sects is terrifying..." Zhao Yuanzhen was interrupted by Chen Lingyun before he finished speaking:
"The three great righteous sects aren't in our world, but I see your fear of the righteous monks hasn't subsided at all."

Zhao Yuanzhen was stunned.

Hmm... indeed, why?

The Emei Sword Sect is not on this Earth, so why should I be afraid of Mei Yingxue and dread her like the plague?

Is it because you can't beat her?

What's even more wrong is that, not to mention that although my cultivation hasn't improved during this period, my fighting skills have been constantly improving.

Taking a step back, even if I can't beat her, isn't there still the little thief?

Little thief, little thief... Although the little thief is hateful, his fighting skills are rare in the world. Even my two senior sisters, whose cultivation levels are higher than his, may not be his opponents in a head-on arm wrestling match.

If that’s the case, what should I be afraid of?

I'm not afraid! Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Zhao Yuanzhen figured out the key point, and the haze that had been shrouding his heart for a long time suddenly disappeared in an instant.

As her courage and heroic spirit grew, she left the cave without looking back and walked straight to the outside world, where she saw many upright monks surrounding her.

The Emei Sword Sect, the Kunlun Qi Refiners, and the assistant officers of the Penglai sects approached with murderous intent.

"Humph." Zhao Yuanzhen sneered, "The defeated general is nothing but a chicken and a dog!"

As soon as he finished speaking, these illusions instantly melted away like ice and snow, never to be seen again.

　Zhao Yuanzhen is no longer afraid of Mei Yingxue. How will Yan Yu control her in the future? Let's wait and see!
