My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 25 Clearance Rewards
But the expected excruciating pain of death did not come.

A sound like the air being torn apart came from my ears.

Pfft——!
Su Ling'er quietly opened her eyes a crack.

She saw her senior brother's figure merely flash past the giant rock scorpion.

The enormous rock scorpion was neatly cut in half from head to tail.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, without a trace of blood, only charred marks emitting wisps of smoke.

The two mangled bodies collapsed to the ground with a thud.

too fast!
She couldn't even see what her senior brother Lin Qingfeng was doing before the giant scorpion ended up in this state.

But for some reason, the eldest brother stopped again, examining the giant scorpion's corpse as if he were thinking about something.

Then, he flashed and quickly stood between Su Ling'er and the giant scorpion corpse, adjusting himself to a suitable position.

Then, he drew his sword and raised it again.

This time, Su Ling'er saw things clearly.

A sword light emitted a dazzling radiance, and endless brilliance appeared on his body, his black robes were spotless.

The flying sword was tinged with a hazy halo, and countless points of light fell from the cave ceiling, as if a myriad of stars were surrounding it.

The giant rock scorpion's corpse seemed to be merely an embellishment to highlight the senior brother's presence at that moment.

If one had to describe it, the eldest disciple at this moment would be like a celestial being descended from heaven.

only……

His actions, even after the giant scorpion had died, left Su Ling'er speechless.

No, the scorpion is dead, why are you posing for it?

If you're going to pose, don't kill so quickly beforehand!

Thank goodness! My judgment was right after all; my senior brother did come to my rescue in the end!

But the way he saves people has to be so ethereal, pretending to be a righteous person, right?

If I hadn't peeked at him with my eyes half-closed just now, I would have been fooled by him!
The eldest brother stood before her like an unyielding mountain, and said in a deep voice:

"Junior sister, open your eyes, this fiend has been killed."

Lin Qingfeng also broke out in a cold sweat.

I accidentally killed him instantly; he was too fast!
This should have been a perfect opportunity to inspire my junior sister's desire for enlightenment, to show her how reliable I, her senior brother, am, and to strengthen her sense of belonging to the Guixi Sect!

Sigh, before you know it, they've used the 'Stop Sword' to instantly kill you.

Luckily, I reacted quickly and immediately turned on all the lighting and special effects.

Anyway, judging by the lighting effects alone, it should be dazzling enough, right?

After maximizing the special effects, he turned to Su Ling'er and asked:
"Junior sister, are you okay?"

Su Ling'er instantly stopped twitching at the corners of her mouth, and the moment her senior brother turned around, she put on a blank, admiring, and shocked expression.

Seeing her completely stunned and surprised expression, Lin Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, the junior sister's facial expression was very well done.

Su Ling'er was also sweating profusely.

The senior brother's strength is truly not to be underestimated; no wonder he is the senior brother of this demonic sect!

I didn't even see how he pulled out his sword before the giant rock scorpion was already decapitated!

Thankfully, I made the right bet.

At this moment, Lin Qingfeng displayed the demeanor of a grandmaster. With a wave of his hand, the flying sword emitted a clear sound, then transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into his palm.

But Su Ling'er's overwhelming joy at surviving the ordeal was extinguished by a new thought.

She still didn't understand why her senior brother had to shout "Stop!" before making a move.
What's the point?

Is this a teaser for his upcoming appearance?

That monster can't understand human language either.

And then he killed the monsters instantly, and then returned to do all this.
Su Ling'er's mind kept trying to figure out her senior brother's intentions.

Then she understood!
The eldest brother had actually been admiring a play he himself directed and risked his life for!

He watched himself struggle, watched himself despair, watched himself make a choice on the edge of life and death.

Only at his most desperate moment did he appear, bathed in radiant light, as a savior, bringing this drama to a perfect close.

Thankfully, I discovered that he actually killed the monster first before coming back to pose.

Otherwise, I would really be stunned!
He really is a demonic cultivator who manipulates human nature!

Since he wants to play the role of a righteous savior, how should I react?
What should a woman who has just entered the immortal sect and has walked on the edge of death do at this moment be like?
She leaned against the rock wall, swaying as she stood up. Looking at her senior brother's retreating figure, she said in a trembling voice:

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother, for saving my life!"

"I have no way to repay your kindness today. I will definitely repay you with all my heart and soul, and go through fire and water for the Guixi Sect in the future!" "Junior sister, there is no need to thank me."

Lin Qingfeng spoke again, using the profound principles of cultivation he had just learned.

"On the path of the Great Way, life and death hang by a thread."

Facing a formidable foe, even knowing he was no match, he still had the courage to wield his sword; this spirit is commendable.

But you must remember, courage is not strength.

"The danger you face today is neither your tribulation nor my achievement, but a test from the 'Dao' for you."

"I am here today, and I can protect you for a while."

But the path to immortality is long, and no one can protect you forever.

Placing your hopes on others is like a candle flickering in the wind, easily extinguished.

"The book you hold, 'The True Explanation of the Return to the Origin of All Things,' teaches people to follow the Dao and act in accordance with Heaven."

For those with exceptional talent, this method is the path to heaven;

But for someone of your mortal nature, it's nothing more than drawing a circle around yourself and imprisoning yourself.

Throughout his life, he remained a frog at the bottom of a well, unaware of the vastness of the world.

"The Sword Refining Technique cultivates the ability to use one's own body as a boat to cross this boundless sea of ​​suffering."
Using the sword as a ladder, we ascend to the celestial palace in the nine heavens!

It is that sword intent that refuses to be mediocre and dares to contend with the heavens!

"Junior sister, do you want to be a lowly ant that can be manipulated by others, or do you want to be a person who can cut through the wind and clouds and ascend to the heavens?"

Lin Qingfeng shook his head with his hands behind his back: "Think it over carefully, we should leave the tower."

Su Ling'er lowered her head: "Mmm~, Junior Sister is still too dull. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

Once I complete my mission and return to Qingxu Temple, the sect leader will personally cleanse my marrow and refine my essence. Why would I need your so-called "Sword Refining Technique"?
I would never practice such an evil art that requires the sacrifice of others' lives!
The eldest brother turned around with a flick of his sleeve, and the dreamlike starry river disappeared with him.

Su Ling'er quickly followed, step by step, perfectly portraying the role of a junior sister who was frightened but admired her senior brother.

Two figures emerged from outside the Demon-Sealing Tower.

After the stone tablet was placed on the table, Qian Buyu's gaze turned back to it.

He raised his hand and pointed at the token in Su Ling'er's hand, causing the token to flash slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a small cloth bag appeared out of thin air on the stone table.

Qian Buyu pushed the cloth bag toward Su Ling'er.

Su Ling'er stepped forward, picked up the cloth bag, and found it slightly heavy.

She opened it and gasped for breath.

There were actually ten low-grade spirit stones in the bag!

As an outer disciple of Qingxu Temple, my monthly salary is only three low-grade spirit stones.

Even if you risk your life to do those perilous tasks, being able to save seven or eight yuan a month is already a great stroke of luck.

But here, you can get ten coins just by being forced by that demon to kill a few low-level monsters?

Su Ling'er almost burst into tears in this hellish place.

Although she felt that this was a sugar-coated bullet that corrupted her Dao heart.

They use such generous rewards to lure their disciples into getting used to killing and putting themselves in danger.

But when my fingertips touched the warm, smooth texture of the spirit stone, an irrepressible longing still welled up in my heart.

This demonic sect... it smells amazing!

Sect Leader, are you aware of the immense temptations that your disciple is enduring in order to uphold the righteous path and for the sake of our Qingxu Temple?

"Junior sister."

Lin Qingfeng's voice came from above. Su Ling'er was startled and quickly put away the cloth bag, a genuine smile appearing on her face.

That's ten low-grade spirit stones!

This is the amount of spirit stones she might not be able to obtain even after a month of hard work!
Although these spirit stones are insignificant compared to the "True Explanation of the Return to Origin of All Things", they were obtained through my own efforts in killing demonic beasts!
This sect is incredibly wealthy!

He turned and walked deeper into the clouds.

"Let's go, the next place is called 'The Ladder of Inquiry', we have enough spirit stones."

"There, perhaps an even greater opportunity awaits you."

Do you have enough spirit stones?
What do you mean?
Unaware of the truth, Su Ling immediately lowered her head and followed.

In her heart, she was simultaneously denouncing the corruption and evil of the demonic path, yet... she couldn't help but secretly begin to look forward to it.

Asking about the ladder...

What kind of "surprise" awaits them?
