The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

Just as Lin Yitang was pondering to herself, the peak fourth-order demonic beast had already begun to fight against more than ten late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Cultivators from different sects used different attack methods, such as talismans, spells, spirit swords, spirit beasts, and even various types of magical treasures.

More than a dozen attacks, each carrying immense spiritual energy, rained down on the demonic beast, creating a fierce scene.

However, this peak fourth-tier demonic beast was not afraid at all.

It raised its sharp claws and brought them down with effortless ease, as if swatting a mosquito. The sharp claws, imbued with immense demonic energy, slowly and deliberately struck at the spells.

The enormous claws carried a sinister wind, giving people a suffocating sense of oppression even from afar.

With a single claw strike, it blocked more than ten attacks.

The talismans turned to dust in mid-air, the spells vanished upon contact with the claws, the spirit sword was knocked away, the spirit beast howled and fell to the ground, and various types of magical artifacts were directly shattered by the claws, producing a crisp cracking sound.

The monster's attack was equivalent to the combined power of more than ten late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators' expressions changed drastically, their hearts filled with horror. They couldn't help but marvel at the sheer power of this demonic beast, which was practically invincible.

"What...what should we do?"

A cultivator said in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with undisguised terror.

The leading cultivator shouted in a deep voice, "Don't panic!"

He stared at the monster, "Look, there's blood on its claws. Our attack wasn't completely ineffective."

Upon closer inspection, everyone indeed discovered a dark red bloodstain on the beast's hard, iron-like claws.

They were immediately jolted awake, realizing that their attack had indeed harmed the monster.

Encouraged by their leader, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators regained their fighting spirit, adjusted their state, and prepared to launch another attack. They either unleashed stronger magical treasures, cast more powerful spells, or launched combined attacks to increase their power.

Seeing this, the monster became even more ferocious.

It roared, its spiritual energy surging, and charged at the cultivators once more. But this time, the cultivators were prepared and concentrated their firepower on the beast's vital points.

The battle grew increasingly fierce, and no one dared to be careless in the slightest. Even the early and mid-stage Foundation Establishment disciples watching from below were sweating for their senior brothers and sisters, fearing that someone might be torn to pieces by the beast's claws at any moment.

Lin Yitang's gaze sharpened slightly as she pondered when to offer her assistance. Just then, she caught a glimpse of Ye Qiuli carrying the demon beast egg and quietly retreating.

A cold smile crept across her lips. With a thought, she quietly circled behind Ye Qiuli and, just as Ye Qiuli was about to disappear into the forest, suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Junior Sister Ye, where are you going?" Lin Yitang's voice was low and cold, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Ye Qiuli was discovered by Lin Yitang and immediately panicked.

She glared fiercely at Lin Yitang and said in a low voice, "I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang's lips curled into a cold smile, and she said in an icy tone, "That won't do. We are all fighting to the death with that half-Golden Core stage demon beast here to save you. Those late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators are all risking their lives to protect you. How can you choose to run away at this critical moment? That would be too unfair to them."

As soon as Lin Yitang finished speaking, the eyes of many cultivators around them were drawn to the conversation.

Upon hearing Lin Yitang's words, they all cast disdainful glances at Ye Qiuli and began to whisper among themselves.

Ye Qiuli felt the strange looks around her and her heart burned with anger.

She had intended to slip away quietly, but Lin Yitang caught her on the spot and mocked her so much.

This infuriated her, but on the surface she feigned grievance, tearfully explaining, "I didn't intentionally lure this monster here; I'm a victim too. Why are you targeting me and bullying me?"

Lin Yitang looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Oh? Is that so? You really didn't do it on purpose?"

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently drifted to the piece of cloth that Ye Qiuli was tightly holding in her hand.

Noticing Lin Yitang's gaze, Ye Qiuli's heart tightened, and she subconsciously protected the fabric in her hand even more tightly.

She forced herself to remain calm and said, "What I have in my hand is nothing important, nothing to worry about."

However, the other cultivators also noticed the cloth in Ye Qiuli's hand.

Someone asked in confusion, "Junior Sister Ye, you've been holding onto this thing so tightly, even while being chased by the demonic beasts. It must be an extremely valuable item, right?"

Ye Qiuli became increasingly flustered and quickly explained, "This is nothing important, you don't need to worry about it."

The cultivator pressed further, "If that's the case, why not put it in your storage bag? Could it be that this thing is still alive?"

Ye Qiuli was speechless when asked the question, and stammered, "Don't look at this thing anymore. It's really not a very important object, nor is it a living thing. I just like the feeling of holding it in my hand."

As she spoke, she felt an urge to flee.

However, Lin Yitang had no intention of letting her go.

She said seriously, "Junior Sister Ye, please don't try to fool us. This is no small matter. The monster's behavior is far too abnormal. It's obvious that it's after what you have. We must investigate this thoroughly!"

Lin Yitang pointed to the monsters on the battlefield.

Following her gaze, everyone saw that although the demon beast was engaged in a fierce battle with more than a dozen late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, its eyes remained firmly fixed on Ye Qiuli's direction.

It seemed to have gone mad, ignoring its own injuries and desperately attacking this direction. Its expression was ferocious, it roared incessantly, and its whole body exuded a chillingly fierce aura.

Even though it was injured and covered in blood, it did not run away. It was as if some force was driving it to come to Ye Qiuli's side.

This scene made everyone present suddenly realize the truth.

Someone exclaimed, "Heavens! This demonic beast seems to have really come for Junior Sister Ye! What is it about Junior Sister Ye that has attracted such a persistent demonic beast?"

"Could it be... that round object in Junior Sister Ye's hand?" someone in the crowd guessed.

When everyone's eyes were focused on the fabric in Ye Qiuli's hand, a chill ran through her heart, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

She suppressed her inner turmoil, tears streaming down her face like broken beads, sobbing pitifully as she said, "Why are you all bullying me? I really don't know why this monster attacked me! I really don't know!"

Her cries attracted several disciples of Danfu Peak.

Upon seeing this, the group immediately stepped forward indignantly, shielding Ye Qiuli behind them and glaring angrily at the others.

"Stop bullying Junior Sister Ye Qiuli!"

One of them shouted, "She's innocent! She's already said she doesn't know why, so why are you forcing her to explain?"

Another disciple from Danfu Peak chimed in, "That's right! What evidence do you have to prove that this demonic beast is after Junior Sister Ye? Isn't that a bit too arbitrary?"
