My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 31 Wait a minute!

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Lin Qingfeng!

His cultivation level surged once again, completely incomprehensible to Su Ling'er!
[Further missions are being unlocked.]

[Progress: 0%]

[Progress: 1%]

[Progress: 2%]

Having completed his mission, Lin Qingfeng was overjoyed. All notions of being a superior person or a master were completely forgotten.

"I've succeeded again, Daoist Master! Hahahaha!"

Laughter echoed continuously within the Sword Tomb, growing increasingly rampant and triumphant.

But to Su Ling'er, it was no less than a victory declaration from the Nine Netherworld Demon God.

She watched helplessly as Lin Qingfeng's cultivation level surged once again without any warning.

This time, there was no sudden enlightenment, no rare treasures, not even a single pill, and not even the vicious demonic contract from before was revealed.

He simply led me around the area, telling me a bunch of stories that sounded like complete fabrications.

then.

He broke through?!

What's happening here? !

Could it be... that this sword mound is also some kind of evil cultivation formation?

He brought me here simply to use me, a newly initiated disciple, to activate some kind of evil magic array in the Sword Tomb?!

Were all those words he said and all those steps I took just part of the ritual?
But why me of all people?
What makes me special?
Is it...

Is it because I just received the reward from the Ladder of Inquiry?

Judging from the appearance of those disciples, it seemed that none of them had ever climbed the hundred steps...

Could it be that by climbing the hundred steps, I have somehow fulfilled the requirements of their ritual?
Or perhaps, just as the eldest brother and the others had secretly plotted, this was all just a prelude to sacrificing their own blood to become a sword.

Su Ling'er's face turned deathly pale instantly.

She suppressed the urge to turn and run, and asked, her voice trembling:
"Big...Senior Brother, what...what's wrong with you?"
Was it an epiphany?
How... how could it suddenly be like this...?

Lin Qingfeng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the joy in his heart.

He glanced at the next task that was being activated; there should be enough time.

What will the next task be?

Never mind, the most important thing now is to get my junior sister to finish the scene I had with my junior brother Zhan!
So he put on his usual nonchalant air again and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"Not bad, I've broken through again without even realizing it."

After all, for someone with my talent, breakthroughs are as easy as eating and drinking, nothing to brag about.

It's a pity that with your talent, if you don't cultivate it... alas! You'll ultimately be a pearl hidden in the dust.

Su Ling'er knew what he wanted to say as soon as she heard it.

Isn't it just that you want to bring up the "Sword Refining Manual"?

Isn't it just that someone with such poor talent as himself can't break through to new heights like him, so he has to cultivate the "Sword Refining Technique"?

Besides, where can you find someone with such exceptional talent?
You can break through as you go, it's "not worth mentioning"?
I believe you as a ghost!

With skin as thick as yours, you probably couldn't even break through the sect's protective formation!

However, this further confirmed her conjecture.

Only those evil and heretical people who have been engaged in the business of devouring souls and spirits for many years in the storybooks would describe such a sudden increase in cultivation as "ordinary".

Just as Su Ling'er's thoughts were drifting to whether she would be drained dry by the magic array beneath her feet, an extremely domineering aura descended from the sky!

"Lin Qingfeng! Come out and face your death!"

With a loud shout, the newcomer descended from the sky with an unparalleled aura!

With a loud "boom," he crashed heavily onto the open ground of the sword tomb, kicking up clouds of dust.

As the dust settled, a burly figure stood proudly, carrying a massive sword on his back that was completely disproportionate to his size, exuding a menacing aura.

It was Junior Brother Zhan who had arrived!
Before the words were even finished, the greatsword was drawn with a clang, its sound like a dragon's roar!
He seemed to have no intention of giving Lin Qingfeng any chance to react. His figure turned into a blur as he raised his giant sword and slashed down at Lin Qingfeng's head!
"careful!"

Su Ling'er called out subconsciously, but her thoughts raced even faster.

what's the situation?
Is it that the eldest brother's enemies have come knocking on his door?

Indeed, he casually killed two fellow disciples the moment he entered the sect, so it's normal for him to have countless enemies within the sect. Moreover, this guy didn't even give a warning before unleashing a deadly attack; truly befitting a demonic and evil sect!
The killing intent emanating from that giant sword was absolutely genuine!
Although she still didn't understand how the Demonic Sect, which was so deeply entrenched in internal strife, had survived to this day.

However, in the righteous path, let alone inner disciples, even outer disciples would never dare to use such deadly force in a sparring match.

Every disciple is trained by the sect with resources. Even outer disciples can do odd jobs, run errands, and massage the backs and legs of inner disciples.

Meaningless infighting is something the higher-ups would never allow, but here it seems to be the norm.

Faced with this sudden attack, Lin Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back.

He even struck an even more dashing pose, gazing at the approaching sword light, gathering his energy in his dantian, and shouting loudly in that direction:
"Wait a minute!"

???

Su Ling'er's mind was instantly filled with a series of question marks.

what's the situation?
Someone's knife is about to chop you up, and you tell them to "wait a minute"?
Do you think they'll just listen to you and obediently stop?!

Last time in the Demon Locking Tower, that monster almost killed me, and you shouted "Stop!"
This time, they're about to kill you, and you're still yelling "Wait!"?!

Do you feel that if you don't shout out and offer some advice at a life-or-death moment, you won't make your presence felt?
Oh no, our senior brother is going to be cleaved in two by a sword from his fellow disciple!

Will that evil cultivator also kill me?
At least before the eldest brother completely transforms himself into the "sword" in his hand, he should still be able to protect himself...

But if he dies, I'm afraid I'll lose my life here the next moment!
However, upon hearing this shout, the disciple carrying the greatsword actually... paused his attack!
The enormous sword blade stopped abruptly just three inches above Lin Qingfeng's head!
"Senior Brother, is something the matter?"

Su Ling'er: "???"

She was even more confused!

No, you actually stopped?

Are all heretical practitioners this honest?

Before the words were even finished, an unexpected event occurred!
With a "whoosh" sound, without any warning, an extremely fast beam of light shot out from the sword mound behind the disciple!

Despite being delayed, the beam of light drew a straight black line in the air, ignoring the distance and the protective aura, and pierced directly through his chest!

Arrow through the heart!
Warm drops of blood splattered all over Su Ling'er's face, and she was completely stunned.

She slowly raised her hand and touched her cheek; the touch was warm and sticky.

She looked down at her hands and clothes, which were covered in glaring bloodstains.

Her mind went completely blank.

what happened?
Killed... just like that?
When the other person heard "wait a moment," they actually stopped. So why did you kill them in one go?
How utterly despicable and shameless!

The disciple whose chest had been pierced was filled with astonishment. He looked down at the ancient sword in his chest, then glanced at the nonchalant Lin Qingfeng.

"I rely on..."

A mouthful of blood spurted from the corner of his mouth.

"Lin Qingfeng! You old cunning bastard! Besides the 'Stop Sword,' when did you acquire another 'Wait a Moment Sword'?!"

As he coughed up blood, he struggled to form a hand seal, and a faint light fell upon the ancient sword.

"Ugh—it's an ancient sword from the Sword Tomb recognizing its master?! I'm so jealous! I'm so jealous!"

Su Ling'er: "..."

Her confused mind instantly sorted out all her previous doubts.

"stop"……

"Wait a minute..."

Inside the Demon-Sealing Tower, he shouted "Stop!" but the monster's attack did not stop, though he was saved.

Before the sword mound, he shouted "Wait!" and the disciple's attack was forcibly stopped, and then he was pierced through the heart by a sword.

Therefore, "stop" does not mean telling others to stop, and "wait" does not mean telling others to wait!
This isn't about ordering someone to do anything; it's... the name of a magical artifact!

It's the name of the divine sword in his hand!
Su Ling'er's gaze fell on the ancient longsword that was still stuck in Zhan Shidi's body, its blade still dripping blood.

He concealed his murderous intent within these seemingly persuasive words, delivering the decisive blow the moment his opponent hesitated!

Despicable and shameless!
This is indeed the consistent style of demonic and evil cultivators!
Senior Brother... he's truly terrifying!

However, another thought popped into her mind.

This method does seem to be somewhat useful...

Should I name my magic weapon "Wait a Minute" from now on?
Or "Stop"?
Or perhaps it could be something like, "Senior, please hear me out"?
Meanwhile, Lin Qingfeng kept giving Zhan Shidi, who was still eating lemons, meaningful glances while simultaneously making private messages.

[Lin Qingfeng: You'd better hurry up and recite your lines before you die!]
