Chapter 23
The Demonic Woman
With such a powerful teammate, the chances of winning the first prize would be higher.
This was especially so after he had taken down the Late Foundation establishment Devil cultivator.
One must know that the final mission ranking was determined by the importance of killing a Devil cultivator and obtaining information.
They had taken down a Late-stage Foundation establishment Devil cultivator. Even the Milky Way battleship could not compare to them.
“Let’s search the body of the Devil cultivator first and see if we can find any useful clues.”
Wang Xiaolun’s injuries improved a lot after he took the pill.
A group of people went up and searched for a long time. They only found a token with the words ‘Blood Demon sect’ written on it and a high-quality storage bag.
But the embarrassing thing was that with their strength, they couldn’t erase the spiritual awareness imprint of the Late Foundation establishment stage.
Therefore, the five of them naturally thought of the Senior Pagoda tree.
At this time, Huai city had already been burned into ruins. At a glance, it was full of devastation.
Compared to the peaceful and happy scene when they first came, it was really sad.
The mortals who had survived had already begun to rebuild their homes. After seeing Cheng Xu and the others, they knelt on both sides of the road.
“It’s a pity that I didn’t manage to save more people.” Bai CI’er’s eyes turned red and she blamed herself.
“Don’t say that, everyone has already tried their best.” Han Yue consoled.
Cheng Xu’s heart was also very heavy. As a person who had transmigrated from a civilized world, his heart had suffered a great blow.
Perhaps it was just as described in cultivation novels. In the eyes of immortal cultivators, mortals were no different from ants.
“The little ones are back?” The big Locust tree’s voice seemed a little weak.?“Speaking of which, it’s really all thanks to you little guys this time.”
“Senior’s words are too serious. Without Senior’s help, we would also have been buried here.”
“I thought I could stay out of it,” the scholar tree sighed. “It seems that I was too naive. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for little Southern heaven to be peaceful in the future.”
Cheng Xu and the others couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
“I can’t stay here any longer. I’m going to move the mortals in the city to another place. I’m a Locust tree planted by a mortal,” the Scholar tree said sadly. “I’ve also gained sentience because of the incense of the mortals in the city for generations. I’ll do my best to protect their descendants.”

“Senior doesn’t like to fight, so you should indeed find a place far away from this.”
Hearing this, Cheng Xu and the other four all bowed to show their respect.
“That’s right, can Senior help us erase the spiritual sense mark on this storage bag?” Wang Xiaolun took out the Demonic cultivator’s storage bag.
The Pagoda tree smiled and easily wiped away the Demonic cultivator’s spiritual awareness imprint.
The group hurriedly sent their spiritual senses in to check. In addition to some Spirit stones and Demonic cultivation resources that were filled with Blood Qi, there were also a few miscellaneous ancient scrolls and books, as well as some gold and silver items from the secular world.
“What are these medicinal pills that are emitting Blood Qi?” Cheng Xu took out a few Blood Qi pills. Even with his alchemy skills, he couldn’t see through these things.
The Locust tree said, “It should be the Blood Demon pill made by the Blood Demon sect with the flesh and blood of mortals. After taking it, it can quickly improve one’s cultivation. However, it will also leave evil Qi in the body and affect one’s nature.”
When they learned that it was a pill refined from the flesh and blood of mortals, Cheng Xu and the others all revealed looks of disgust.
For cultivators of the righteous sects like them, they naturally disdained to use such evil things to improve their cultivation.
“Senior, how much do you know about the Blood Demon sect? Can you give us more information on them?” Cheng Xu continued to ask for advice.
“I don’t know the exact details. I only know that around three years ago, some cultivators who call themselves the Blood Demon sect started to move around in the Heluo Kingdom. If you want to continue your investigation, you can go to the South of the Heluo Kingdom and try.?but don’t take too many risks,” the Locust tree said. “If I’m not mistaken, there should be another Late-stage foundation building fiend cultivator in Heluo.”
“Many thanks for Senior’s reminder. We will seriously consider it.”
Just like that, under everyone’s gazes, the giant Locust tree broke free from the ground and revealed its thick roots. Using its roots as legs, it brought the mortals who had survived in the city and moved to other places.
Cheng Xu found the formation disk of the great purgatory formation in the ruins. He didn’t stay in the city. After leaving Huai city, he headed toward the South of Heluo Kingdom.
Although Heluo country was full of danger, their mission this time was to risk their lives. Even if they encountered another Late-stage Foundation establishment Devil cultivator, they would still have the ability to escape.
“The Demonic cultivators here should be from the same group as those who attacked Grand Cloud mountain.” Bai CI’er analyzed.
“Indeed,” Cheng Xu agreed. “Let’s be more careful from now on. I feel that the Blood Demon sect is much more terrifying than we thought.”
..
The team traveled South of Heluo Kingdom for two days.
Along the way, they didn’t find any traces of the Blood Demon sect, which made them very confused.
“That’s strange. Didn’t they say that there are many Devil cultivators in Heluo? Why can’t I see a single one of them?” Wang Xiaolun couldn’t help but suspect that the Pagoda tree was deliberately scaring them.
“It’s a little strange.” Cheng Xu glanced at the map. “We’ve already reached the hinterlands of Heluo. By right now, we should be able to find traces of the Devil Dao.”
Just as everyone was confused, an early Foundation establishment cultivator descended from the sky on a sword.
“Fellow Daoists, please wait.” The person who came was a female cultivator with delicate features. She spoke very politely. “May I ask where you are from?”
Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other with slight vigilance and reported their names one by one.
“So, it’s fellow Daoists from the four righteous sects and the Medicine Immortal Valley. Sorry for my disrespect ~!” The female cultivator’s eyes were full of surprise, and she introduced herself, “I’m Xu Lu, a disciple of the Jade Pure sect from the Heavenly Dragon Mountain.”
“The Jade Pure sect? I think it’s a small sect in Heluo,” Han Yue thought to herself.
“I wonder what business fellow Daoists have with my Heavenly Dragon Mountain?” The female cultivator named Xu Lu asked curiously.
Cheng Xu lowered his head and looked at the map. It was indeed the Heavenly Dragon Mountain in front of him.
However, he felt that there was something wrong with the girl in front of him, so he tried to read her data without making a sound.
When Wang Xiaolun saw a beautiful woman, he immediately revealed the purpose of his visit.
“So fellow Daoists are here to investigate the Blood Demon sect?” Xu Lu’s eyes flickered and she laughed. “To be honest, the Jade Pure sect has been fighting against the Blood Demon sect for many years. Fellow Daoists, if you don’t mind, why don’t you follow me back to Mount Tianlong and use the information that the Jade Pure sect has to eliminate the Demons of the Blood Demon sect together?”
When Wang Xiaolun and the other three heard this, their eyes lit up.
After all, they were here to investigate. Wouldn’t it be great to share information with the local cultivation sects?
“Then I’ll have to trouble sister Xu Lu.”
Wang Xiaolun was already overjoyed. His eyes sized up Xu Lu’s body, and the more he looked, the more excited he felt.
It couldn’t be helped. Although this female cultivator named Xu Lu didn’t have an outstanding appearance, she had delicate features and was very pleasing to the eye.
The most important thing was that the loose robe couldn’t hide her hot figure. For people like Wang Xiaolun, it was too lethal.
Even Yue Yang, who was standing at the side, felt a little restless.
“It’s the Jade Pure sect’s honor to receive the help of the four major Orthodox sects. Fellow Daoists, please follow me.” Xu Lu smiled and motioned for everyone to follow her to the Heavenly Dragon Mountain.
However, Cheng Xu frowned and stopped the impatient Wang xiaolun. “Brother Wang, please calm down.”
He had read Xu Lu’s data.
[Xu Lu]
[Cultivation: Early stage of Foundation establishment]
[Cultivation method: Blood Magic technique]
[Martial arts techniques: Yin-yang Harmony Art, Blood Cotton Palm, Boiling Blood, Bloodthirsty spell…]
Yes, this woman’s cultivation method was exactly the same as the Demon prince he had met on the Grand Cloud mountain, the ‘Blood Magic method.’
From this, it could be seen that this person was not a cultivator of the Jade Pure sect at all, but the witch of the Bloody Demon sect who had disguised herself as a cultivator of the Jade Pure sect.
“Why?” Wang Xiaolun looked at Cheng Xu unhappily. “It’s a great opportunity, what’s there to hesitate about? The Jade Pure sect has been fighting against the Blood Demon sect for many years, so they must have more information than us.”
“Junior Brother Cheng, did you notice something?” Bai CI’er asked thoughtfully.
Cheng Xu nodded slightly, then turned to look at the Demonic woman with a faint smile. “Fairy, you’re already at the Foundation establishment stage at such a young age. I believe your status in the Jade pure sect is not low, right?”
“Why are you suddenly asking about this?” Xu Lu pretended to be confused.
“It’s nothing. I just feel that Fairy is a genius, much more outstanding than us disciples from the large sects.” Cheng Xu secretly laughed.
Hearing this, Bai CI’er and the other two also faintly realized that something was wrong.
Only Wang Xiaolun was still helping an outsider. “Brother Cheng, that’s where you’re wrong. Sister Xu Lu is extremely talented, what are you jealous of? Didn’t I also reach the Early Foundation establishment stage at such a young age?”
Cheng Xu rolled his eyes.
Damn it, why did he form a team with such trash in the first place?
When Xu Lu saw this, she immediately pretended to be aggrieved and complained to Wang Xiaolun, “Big brother Wang, your friend doesn’t seem to trust this little sister.”
“Don’t be afraid! Sister! I’m here. I believe you!”
Wang Xiaolun stepped forward and held Xu Lu’s hand, his expression was a little dazed.
“I think Junior Brother Cheng is right,”Bai CI’er said in time. “We don’t know much about the Jade Pure sect. It’s better to be cautious.”
“Oh ~ little sister CI’er, are you jealous of your brother?” Wang Xiaolun felt very good about himself.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Cheng Xu directly exposed her. “That’s enough, Demoness. There’s no point in you acting like this.”
“Fellow Daoist, what are you saying?” Xu Lu still refused to admit it. “How can I be a demonic woman?”
“That’s right. This little sister looks so familiar. How can she be a person of the Devil path? ” Wang Xiaolun said stubbornly.
“..”Black lines appeared on Cheng Xu’s head. “Please use your brain. Which female disciple of a prestigious sect would let you hold her hand so casually? In addition, didn’t you notice that this girl’s magic robe is a little casual?”
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the demoness, but if you looked closely, you would realize that there was not even a lining under the robe, and it was just worn loosely on the body.
Which female disciple of a proper sect would dress like this?
“Pfft! What do you know? This is love at first sight for me and sister Xu Lu! I think you’re just jealous!” Wang Xiaolun snorted.
At this point, Cheng Xu seemed to have understood something.
Although Wang Xiaolun was a little brainless and lecherous, he was not that stupid.
He had probably fallen for that Demoness’s trap and was bewitched by some sort of Charm technique.
