My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 5 When did this arrogant and shrewish guy infiltrate my sect?
The sun was high in the sky.

The bluestone square was getting quite hot from the sun.

There are more and more people.

Those strangely behaving Guixi Sect disciples were gathering around.

They no longer leaped across rooftops or charged recklessly on their swords; they simply walked, but their steps conveyed a sense of urgency.

They formed a loose encirclement, trapping Lin Qingfeng and Su Ling'er in the center.

Every gaze was directed at the first native NPC in this sect.

There was no malice in those gazes, but they carried something that made her feel uneasy.

It's the excitement of discovering a new and exotic toy, the burning passion of a hunter seeing a rare prey, the ecstasy of rain after a long drought.

Instead of paying attention to the two evil cultivators who died or the senior brother who killed his fellow disciples, they focused on their newly initiated disciple.
No, we can't panic.

She forced herself to twitch the corners of her mouth and give a stiff, polite smile to the diverse faces around her.

She took a deep breath and tried to behave like the young ladies from noble families in the stories who met their elders for the first time, making sure her demeanor was dignified.

"Greetings, fellow disciples..."

Her elegant yet somewhat clumsy movements immediately caused an even more enthusiastic stir in the crowd.

"Greetings, Junior Sister!!"

"Junior sister, do you have a special background?!"

"Junior sister, don't mind those two idiots!"

"Junior sister, do you have a special bloodline?!"

"Junior sister, do you have a hidden family?"

"Junior sister, do you have money or spirit stones?"

"@！￥！%！%……"

Although she could hear some of the words clearly, the noise was too great and she couldn't make out some of the whispers.

What exactly are they talking about?
And it's just a new disciple entering the sect.

Why are they so excited?
Su Ling'er lowered her eyes and began to circulate the negligible spiritual power within her body.

This power was the result of her three years of arduous cultivation, and it was pitifully weak.

Qingxu Temple was also unwilling to expend too many resources on disciples with poor aptitude.

The basic monthly allowance is only three spirit stones, and they are also given a cultivation method to practice.

This is already an immense blessing for the outer disciples of Qingxu Temple.

Although the spiritual power was small, it now had a purpose.

A faint spiritual energy wrapped around her ears.

In an instant, the surrounding noise was filtered out, and the whispers that were kept in hushed tones became crystal clear.

"Hey, look, isn't that her?"

"Our sect's first surviving... cough, native disciple?"

"No mistake, this was brought back personally by our senior brother..."

"Stop talking nonsense! I just want to know, what would happen if she... what if she died?"

"Shh! You're crazy! Don't think about that!"

"You've gone to great lengths to persuade her, are you trying to scare her away?!"

boom--

The smile on Su Ling'er's face froze at that moment.

My blood seemed to stop flowing, and my whole body turned ice cold in an instant.

The sounds of the world faded away, leaving only those few light, airy words that echoed repeatedly in her mind.

died?

Were they tricked into coming here?

What do you mean?
Two deaths weren't enough, did they have to sacrifice themselves to the heavens?

Her mind raced with fear.

She compared and verified these words with her barren yet terrifying experiences.

The sect has finally sent someone...

The sect is about to rise...

I finally managed to trick someone into coming... ...So that's how it is.

Their sect's development has encountered a bottleneck.

This bottleneck requires a special catalyst, a sacrifice, to break through!

And he, the new "disciple," was the sacrifice they had been waiting for for so long!
So, what about the statement, "What would happen if she died?"
They never intended for me to actually live!

I'm just a beginner!

I just barely escaped death!
How could you do this!

The sect leader... what he said is very likely true!

They are indeed some lost ancient evil cultivation lineage that needs to use living people as sacrifices to activate some kind of sealed ritual!
Why don't they go out to search, but instead wait for people to fall into their trap?

She didn't understand; perhaps a huge conspiracy was hidden within.

A series of terrifying hallucinations played out uncontrollably in her mind:

She was bound hand and foot to the cold altar, surrounded by a circle of fanatical heretics.

They held up their ritual implements and chanted incantations.

And her life, her spiritual power, everything she has, will be greedily devoured and devoured by them...

Tears were already streaming down her face, but she managed to force a smile that looked even worse than crying.

She even raised her hand and gently waved it at the figures around her that she had transformed into demons in her eyes.

come on.

For the sake of righteousness, for the sake of all living beings!
I, Su Ling'er... will definitely expose your conspiracy!
Just as she was immersed in this tragic despair of self-sacrifice, another conversation drifted into her ears.

"Don't talk nonsense, this was personally persuaded by our senior brother."

"Given my senior brother's usual carefree and irresponsible nature, when have you ever seen him meddle in such matters?"

"It seems they've been pushed to the limit."

"That's not the case!"

"After all, we've spent so much money. It would be too tragic if we couldn't even get into the 'Demon Suppression Ceremony'!"

money?
Demon Suppression Ceremony?

what is this?
Qingxu Temple has never mentioned it.

Could it be that these heretical cultivators and demonic sects went to some kind of celebration together?
Or is it that... Qingxu Temple's status is so low that it doesn't even have the right to hear about this matter?
Su Ling'er's thoughts took a sharp turn in an instant.

She subconsciously raised her head, her gaze falling on Lin Qingfeng's face.

I see……

I will not be sacrificed to the entire sect...

Because, from the very beginning, I was his "trophy" all to himself.

I will not become a public furnace...

Judging from his appearance and expression, am I about to become Lin Qingfeng's...private furnace?!
How to do how to do? !

Falling into the clutches of evil, her innocence is about to be lost!
Sect Leader, you promised me the path to Foundation Establishment, you promised me a bright future, but... is this the price you have to pay?!
Just as Su Ling'er was struggling with her inner conflict, Lin Qingfeng was enjoying the envious glances from his guild members, and the atmosphere in the square reached a delicate peak.

Changes occur suddenly.

"Make way! Make way!"

A loud voice rang out, and the crowd was violently parted by an invisible force.

A figure suddenly burst out from the crowd.

He was an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a faded white Taoist robe, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

However, his actions were completely inconsistent with this image. He staggered, his expression was agitated, and he ignored everyone, including Lin Qingfeng who was standing at the front.

He rushed straight up to Su Ling'er and stopped in front of everyone's astonished gazes.

Something flickered in his cloudy old eyes.

With tears welling up in his eyes, he shouted at Su Ling'er with all his might:
"Mother--!!!"

"..."

Time stood still.

The air freezes.

The smug smile on Lin Qingfeng's face froze instantly.

no? !
When did this arrogant and suffocating guy infiltrate my sect?
Are you sent by another guild to cause trouble?!
