My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 49 Time and Time Again! (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking to continue reading! Seeking book recommendations!)
Time passed slowly, and no disciples knocked on the door, nor did any evil cultivators come to capture her.

She then realized that her identity should... not have been exposed.

With the jade slip malfunctioning, the Spirit-Slaying Insect is currently her only means of contacting Qingxu Temple, and also her hope that the sect leader can come to her aid after she escapes this place.

No one came to the door. Perhaps... it was just a coincidence?

Were those disciples just bored and randomly stirred up a wave of fire, burning a swarm of small flying insects in the sky?

The thought had barely formed when she nipped it in the bud.

Those countless attacks coming from all parts of the sect were no coincidence!
She shuddered and decided to try again, but she had to be even more careful!
This time, she waited even longer, a full hour, before making her move again.

She used a drop of her blood essence to awaken the second Spirit Insect.

Su Ling'er focused her mind on that connection, controlling the flying insects as they traversed the night and the shadows of the buildings.

"Fly higher...faster..."

It flew high, over the medicinal herb field she had tended countless times.

The next instant, an even more dazzling and dense attack came at the little flying insect once again!
Sword light like a rainbow, firelight like a waterfall, lightning like a prison!

They relentlessly searched for the insect's location in the air!
The connection in Su Ling'er's mind was severed again. She groaned and her vision went black.

In less than an hour, she had already lost two incredibly precious Spirit Insects.

The death of each one is accompanied by the agony of its soul.

why? !

what is this? !

How did they discover it?
Could it be the mountain-protecting formation searching for us?

What terrifying spiritual energy consumption and what precise control would be required to lock onto even a single insect?

Could it be that their grand formation is not for defending against external enemies, but for defending against internal traitors?

Could there be other spies within the sect besides me?!

So that's why they laid such a tight net, leaving not even a single insect untouched?!

No, that's not right.

If that's the case, why did she see those disciples who were nearby with that excited "finding a treasure" expression on their faces?

Unconvinced, she took out the third Spirit-Slaying Insect from the Gu jar.

She refused to believe that these demons, who flew on swords every day, even if their eyes were in the sky, would still be watching an ant on the ground!
This time, she didn't let the insect take off, but instead made it crawl around using all the shadows and cover it could find.

She even planned out its escape route:
They traversed the wilderness, slipped into underground culverts, and followed the shadows of the cultivation cave along the drainage system...

In her field of vision, the little insect began to crawl forward smoothly.

It passed by the weeds, and the strong wind stirred up by the passing disciples made the fallen leaves fly, but no one looked down at it.

possible!
Once you get into that underground channel, you've already won half the battle!
However, just as the Spirit-Binding Insect was about to crawl into the culvert...

The door to one of the sect's cave dwellings creaked open.

A disciple walked out sleepily, yawning.

He seemed to want to go to Hundred Herbs Valley to see how his spiritual herbs were growing.

Then, as if he had noticed something, he let out a puzzled "Huh?" and looked down at his feet.

He first glanced at the dynamic map, then at the little insect crawling on the ground.

It was only three inches away from my feet.

"Holy crap! It's been applied to my face?!"

Without saying a word, he almost instinctively lifted his foot, imbued with spiritual power, and stomped it hard on the ground!

"boom--!!!"

The last scene Su Ling'er "saw" was endless mud and rocks pressing in from all directions.

The poor little insect, along with the surrounding bluestone slabs and the ground three feet below, was crushed to pieces by this one stomp!
"puff……"

Another connection has been lost.

Although it was only a weak connection, the successive impacts damaged Su Ling'er's soul, and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

It won't work in the sky, and it won't work on the ground either.

She couldn't even step out of the Guixi Sect's mountain gate!

Su Ling'er lay on the straw, staring blankly at the crisscrossing thatch on the roof.

Why is this happening?!
Could it be that every disciple of this sect has cultivated the supernatural power of "Heavenly Eye", or that there is some kind of magic array engraved in the sky and on the ground that can monitor everything from 360 degrees without any blind spots?

Are you trying to kill us?!
She is not reconciled!

This must be an accident! Her gaze fell on the Gu jar again, inside which were many insects.

still have a chance!

There must be some other way that she hasn't thought of yet!
She tried again, but this time, instead of letting the insect act alone, she had it attach itself to various creatures such as toads, cicadas, and mythical beasts.

As they move naturally, they constantly shift their targets, gradually infiltrating outwards.

However, after advancing a certain distance, she "saw" again countless attacks, even more terrifying than before, lighting up from all directions!

They didn't even care whether the low-level toad lived or died!

A wall of fire appeared around it;

A blue blizzard descended from the sky, enveloping it with countless icicles mixed in;
Furthermore, dozens of sword cultivators simultaneously wielded their swords, forming a sword formation that transformed into a vast net, sweeping towards the location of the toad!

"boom--!!!"

Before Su Ling'er could even feel the pain, the connection in her mind turned to ashes along with the insect and the toad in the torrent of countless spells.

She doesn't believe in evil.

She also has bugs.

She tried again...

She carefully placed a new Spirit Insect into the rafters of a palace.

It silently crept into the vicinity of a roof beam, where there was a huge hornet's nest nearby.

"Om..."

The hornet's nest trembled slightly, seemingly indicating a successful hibernation.

But the next moment!
Dozens of talismans of different colors appeared out of thin air and covered the entire roof beam.

A deathly white light flashed by.

As the light faded, the entire hornet's nest, along with a corner of the roof beam, turned to dust and quietly drifted away.

The connection broke again.

……

Su Ling'er bit her tongue to keep herself awake.

She then placed her hopes on the giant trees.

Driven by her, the Spirit-Binding Insects leaped back and forth on the giant tree.

Each leap involved burrowing into a new giant tree, attempting to slip through unnoticed.

however.

The blazing fire engulfed the giant tree, instantly turning it into charcoal.

The connection between their souls was annihilated once again.

……

The sect channel was buzzing with excitement.

Whenever a disciple shared a screenshot of killing a "red-name monster," all the people watching the screen would join in the commotion, some shouting:
"Hey, [Sacrifice], what did this toad do to you this time?"

The person then took a screenshot and said in the channel, "Look carefully, it's a red name! Killing it will give you 200 contribution points!"

They deliberately shouted loudly, "You must have sacrificed something to get this!"

[Ji] blushed, her ID seemingly lighting up, and argued,
"Luck can't be considered a sacrifice... Luck! Can the things that happen to us lucky ones be considered a sacrifice?"

These words immediately drew more "evidence":
[Shi Gandang] also posted a screenshot:
"It's not just toads! I see what looks like hornet nests on the roof beams are all red-named!"

[Lu Wu] even posted a picture of a giant tree being blasted into pieces:

"It's even more outrageous here; even a tree can become a red-named monster!"

Then came phrases like "This is the reward of hard work" and "A warm-up for the Golden Autumn Harvest Festival," which made everyone burst into laughter.

In the end, it was Shen Nong who made the final decision:
"It seems that various types of red-named monsters will randomly spawn before the event. Anyway, as long as they are red-named, just kill them all within range."

The Sacrificial Sword is the coolest...

As a result, a cheerful atmosphere filled the air both inside and outside the channel.

At one end of the sect's gate is a cup of victory, filled with a fine wine called "contribution."

On the other side of the sect, in the shadow of thatched hut, lay bitter poison.

Drop by drop, Su Ling'er was plunged into an abyss called despair.
