My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 79 Escaping the Demon's Den! (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking subscriptions! Seeking book recommendations!)

???

Do I not have much time left?
What does it mean?
This……

Does this mean I don't have much time left to retain self-awareness?

After that, they will be transformed into mindless flesh and blood puppets like Elder Qian, and enslaved for eternity.
She stood alone in the middle of the empty square, the night air exceptionally desolate.

After her senior brother left, she returned to her own dilapidated thatched hut.

Night had fallen, and the sect was quieter than ever before.

Most of the senior brothers and sisters who usually roamed around were nowhere to be seen. Only a few disciples with empty eyes were still repeating the tasks.

Beside the thatched cottage, the flower of sorrow appeared even more vibrant, its aura of deep blue lingering around it once more.

Su Ling'er looked at the starlight outside the hole in the roof, lost in thought.

The entire army of Qiling insects was wiped out...

Most of them died at her own hands...

Ahhhhh!

Just thinking about it makes me so sad!!!
The heretical practitioners are simply inhuman!
She has been cut off from the outside world.

The eldest brother said that time was running out.

If she stays here, all that awaits her is the fate of becoming a puppet.

Today, she has already had her "test run".

To survive, to avoid ending up on the dinner table, to preserve my sanity...

She looked at her hands, her eyes becoming incredibly determined.

Can't wait any longer.

Tonight, while most of our senior brothers and sisters have returned to their caves and are at their most relaxed in their defenses, we must escape!
……

child time.

At this time, Guixi Sect seemed to have fallen into complete silence.

Through the hole in the thatched hut, the cool starlight fell precisely on Su Ling'er's eyelashes.

She suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with determination.

Can't wait any longer!
If we stay any longer, my senior brother will either play us to death or turn us into mindless puppets!
She stood up nimbly and tied the storage bag around her waist.

It contained all her possessions: low-grade spirit stones, a wooden sword, spirit herbs, and some low-level magical artifacts she had exchanged.

She even dug the sorrowful flower out of the soil and took it with her, fearing that leaving it behind might cause some trouble.

She has only one thought in mind right now—to survive!

Su Ling'er quickly recalled the sect's environment she had explored over the past few days, and finally selected several possible escape routes:
One is a side gate on the east side, which few people go through;

Secondly, the undeveloped cliffs on the back mountain are steep and rarely visited by people.

Another place is the western boundary of the Spirit Beast Garden. Although there are formations there, there might be an opportunity to take advantage of it.

She took a deep breath, calmed her wildly beating heart, pushed open the creaking wooden door, and quietly disappeared into the night.

……

Meanwhile, in Lin Qingfeng's cave.

He was lying comfortably in the spring pool, enjoying the pleasure of soaking in the water.

The spiritual energy in the water nourished his flesh and blood in subtle ways.

He held a jade cup in one hand, filled with newly brewed spiritual wine;
With his other hand, he casually swept it across his body, and a light screen appeared, displaying a real-time map of the Guixi Sect.

Each point of light representing a disciple of the sect was clearly visible.

He took a sip of the wine, a smile playing on his lips.

The contribution points he earned today increased the NPC contribution progress bar by more than one-fifth, which made him very happy.

Then, his gaze fell on the thatched hut where Su Ling'er was.

It turned out that the light representing her was not in the house, but was moving rapidly towards a side door on the mountain path to the east.

Junior sister, what are you doing at the side gate so late?
It's pitch black, why aren't you getting some rest? How are you going to work properly tomorrow?

Is she planning to work until noon and then go back to sleep, just like last time?
She's only been a few days since she started, and she's already thinking about slacking off?! This won't do; we can't let her be so lazy.

He sent a message in the sect's channel.

[Lin Qingfeng: @All members, if anyone is wandering around outside, please tell your junior sister not to wander off alone so late at night, and to go back to her room and get some sleep. We'll be busy tomorrow!]

[Lin Qingfeng: @All members, be careful not to let her get near the edge of the sect! She's our only NPC right now!]

After sending the message, he dismissed the screen and continued to enjoy this rare moment of leisure.

……

On the path by the side gate on the east side, Su Ling'er held her breath and pushed her movement technique to the limit, constantly weaving through the shadows.

As she watched the side gate, a symbol of freedom, loom ahead, her heart pounded.

Just then, a figure suddenly darted out from the shadows of the trees!
The man saw Su Ling'er's red robe clearly and then spoke:

"Junior Sister? What a coincidence!"

"Where are you going so late?"

"We'll be busy tomorrow, why aren't you resting yet?"

In the still of the night, the sound was no less than a clap of thunder!
Su Ling'er's heart stopped instantly!

She quickly forced a bright, energetic smile:

"Senior brother, I... I was just fighting a Core Formation demon, and my emotions are so turbulent that I can't sleep!"

So I wanted to wander around, enjoy the beautiful night view, and calm my mind.

"Oh! I see, I understand!"

But junior sister, what's so interesting about this dark and secluded place?

"Come on, come on, your senior brother will take you to a great place!"

After saying that, he didn't care whether Su Ling'er agreed or not, and let her follow behind him.

Along the way, he even gave instructions in a very serious manner:

"Look here, how beautiful this tree is!"

That rock is so unique!
"Aren't the clouds here much prettier than those near the side gate?"

Su Ling'er followed behind him expressionlessly.

Where did you come from?

How could I possibly run into you this late?!

What's the difference between this mountain, these rocks, these trees, these clouds, and the ones at the side gate?

If you can't find a nice place, don't force yourself to praise it, okay?!

As she looked at the increasingly familiar road, alarm bells rang in her mind.

Is he trying to take me to the Hall of Cultivation Techniques?

No way?
You want me to do tasks this late?
Is he even human anymore?!

The disciple led her on a aimless stroll for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, finally stopping in front of the Hall of Cultivation Techniques.

"Junior sister, look, you've enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way, so your mood must have calmed down by now."

If you don't want to go back to the thatched hut to rest yet, we've arrived at the Martial Arts Hall. You can take on a few quests here to calm your mind.

He's definitely not human!
Why are all the disciples here so far removed from being "human"?!

"Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Brother, but... I'm also a bit tired,"

"Goodbye, senior brother. I'm going back to my room to rest now. No need to see me off!"

Having said that, fearing the disciple might catch up again, she hurried away, waving her hand back repeatedly as she went:

"Goodbye, senior brother! No need to see me off!"

"No need to see me off!"

Having finally escaped the disciple's entanglement, Su Ling'er dared not take the side door again.

So after going around in circles, they finally found that secluded cliff on the back mountain...
