Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

[Ding! Host has encountered demonic cultivators. New mission issued!]

[Mission Title: The Bad Guys Won't Succeed]

[Remaining time for the mission: half an hour]

[Task Rewards and Penalties: Upon completion of the task, the reward is one attribute point lottery draw and one excellent quality skill card; failure of the task will result in the immediate elimination of the host.]

[Mission Details: Within half an hour, ensure that the fragment host and yourself are not killed by the demonic cultivators, and ensure that the fragment host and your consciousness do not fall into defilement before the mission is completed.]

[Note: Good will never prevail over evil!]

Li Fuyao's heart tightened as she looked at the mission details in her mind:

It's understandable not to be killed, but how come this mission also involves not falling into defilement?

There are only two survivors here, myself and Sui Feng. Where would so many negative emotions come from to attract filth? Could it be that these demonic cultivators have other methods to control people's emotions besides torturing them?

As she pondered this, she heard her pet's voice echo in her mind:

"Fuyao, I have no idea how strong these three are. I'm afraid their cultivation level is at least Foundation Establishment or higher."

Bai Suifeng's hair stood on end. He glared at the demonic cultivator, making a low growl warning, while mentally speaking to Li Fuyao:

“In the past, I would not have taken them seriously at all, but now they could easily crush ten of us. However, if we can attract the disciples of the Yanjian Sect, we might have a chance to survive.”

“Normally, in these kinds of auctions, not everything is moved to the backstage area, but rather it is transported there in batches.”

Li Fuyao's face was glistening with tears, filled with fear. Trembling, she clung tightly to Bai Suifeng and retreated towards the warehouse. Yet, she remained remarkably calm as she asked Bai Suifeng:

"If you had that Qiankun Spear, could you have stalled for a few more seconds?"

"The difference in strength is too great; it will only last three seconds at most."

Upon hearing this, Bai Suifeng replied in a deep voice, then frowned and asked, "Do you perhaps have an idea?"

"There are many treasures in the warehouse behind us. One of them is a teleportation talisman that can teleport multiple people a hundred meters instantly. It is ranked low, so it must not have been moved out of the warehouse yet."

As Li Fuyao continued to retreat, he instructed Bai Suifeng:

“I only have five steps left to retreat into the warehouse. Once inside, we’ll split into two groups. You take the Qiankun Spear and I’ll take the teleportation talisman. If anything changes, we can use the treasures in the warehouse to hold them off for a while.”

"But aren't all those treasures protected by protective arrays..."

Bai Suifeng realized his mistake halfway through his sentence:

"I understand. If the protective array can't be broken, it will protect us. If the protective array is broken, the treasures will be at our disposal, which can still buy us some time!"

"Hmm, this dog is actually quite clever."

Li Fuyao, seeing the demonic cultivator grinning and raising his hand, suddenly accelerated, leaping back two steps and throwing Bai Suifeng out of his arms:

"Follow the wind! Now!"

The tall, thin demonic cultivator's attack missed its mark. Although it was just a casual strike, seeing Li Suifeng hide in the warehouse, he felt he had lost face in front of his subordinates and couldn't help but laugh coldly in anger:

"Hmph, you little wrestling brats. Anyway, we've already got what the boss wanted. What's wrong with playing with you a bit before we leave?"

A look of amusement, like a cat playing with a mouse, appeared in the eyes of the demonic cultivator. He then gave orders to the two demonic cultivators behind him:

"I'll stand guard at the door and rest for a while. You two go and kill them. Don't let those two little brats sneak back to report!"

The two demonic cultivators behind him exchanged a glance and acknowledged the order. However, when they stepped into the warehouse, they found that the man and the dog had already disappeared.

The two remained completely calm upon seeing this, releasing their full aura as they moved.

Li Fuyao and Bai Suifeng, who were hiding behind the cabinet, suddenly felt a weight on their bodies. The air around them became as sticky as glue, and their movements became sluggish.

Li Fuyao, being petite, carefully used the cabinet as cover to avoid the demonic cultivators.

She quickly scanned the auction room and soon found the teleportation talisman based on the appearance in the auction catalog. However, the talisman was covered by a protective barrier with a faint yellow light, which she could not open with her cultivation level.

It seems we'll have to rely on external help.

Li Fuyao pondered to herself.

Having found a way to escape, she stealthily reached for the teleportation talisman while mentally asking Bai Suifeng:

"So, have you found the Qiankun Spear?"

"Found it, but there's a barrier. Should I attract the demonic cultivator's attention now?"

Bai Suifeng asked eagerly.

"Okay, get the stuff and meet me right away. Be careful!"

As soon as Li Fuyao finished speaking, she reached the teleportation talisman. She leaned over the counter and peeked out, unleashing a basic attack at the demonic cultivator who had his back to her!

The demonic cultivator had already sensed it, but he was confident in his superior cultivation.

They didn't take Li Fuyao, a little girl who hadn't even reached the late stage of the Innate Realm, seriously at all.

When he saw the fireball coming, he didn't even bother to defend himself; he even had the time to open his arms and grin wickedly.

If it were the previous basic attack, there might really be no way to deal with him.

However, after Li Fuyao's diligent practice these days, her basic attack has been upgraded by two levels. Li Fuyao tried it in her own courtyard. A small fireball could burn a hole the size of a washbasin in a half-meter-thick stone slab. Its power is far beyond that of the original version.

Moreover, her target wasn't anything vital to begin with.

The demonic cultivator underestimated his opponent so much that even with his Foundation Establishment cultivation and the overflowing demonic energy protecting him, his blond hair was still spectacularly set ablaze.

With that furious expression, he looked exactly like a torch-wielding goblin.

On the other side, Bai Suifeng was equally impressive.

Although a concentrated purple lightning bolt failed to break through the other demonic cultivator's defense, it blasted his ugly face black, which enraged the demonic cultivator so much that he swung his palm to strike.

Demonic energy and spiritual energy counteract each other, and under the guidance of the person and the dog, the indoor defensive barrier was quickly shattered.

Li Fuyao had already memorized all the descriptions of the auction items in the catalog. At this moment, she grabbed the teleportation talisman in her hand, picked up and used the exhibits whose barriers had been broken, and used the Shadow Step to quickly approach her dog.

Whenever the demonic cultivator got close, she would throw out magical artifacts and pull out the Tetanus Hammer for a hard control, and for a while the demonic cultivator was helpless against her.

Bai Suifeng, with the Qiankun Spear in his mouth, ran frantically towards Li Fuyao. However, the spear was too long and got stuck between two cabinets, becoming a tripwire. This not only caused Bai Suifeng to spin around using his mouth as an axis due to inertia, but also caused the careless demonic cultivator who was chasing after him to fall flat on his face.

The man and the dog stared at each other, and in a moment of desperation, Bai Suifeng bit down on it!

"what--"

The demonic cultivator let out an extremely painful, sharp screech, and when he looked up again, there was nothing left at his nose.

"Grandpa is definitely going to have stewed dog meat today!"

He licked the blood that had dripped into his mouth, savoring it as he swallowed. He glanced at Bai Suifeng, who was desperately kicking with a gun dangling from his throat, his cloudy, triangular eyes flashing with ruthlessness. Without a word, he leaped forward and delivered a palm strike.

"You little beast! Prepare to die!"
