The Entire Sect is Full of Villains, Yet the Junior Sister Conquers All

Chapter 99 : Fourth Senior Brother, Cultivator of Both Human and Demon Paths

The tenth level of the Demon Caves was again filled with demon beasts. After defeating a series of small monsters along the way, they encountered a boss blocking the entrance to the next level—a demon beast with a human face and a lion's body.

"This is the legendary ancient demon beast, the human-lion beast. Although only a wisp of its divided spirit remains, it still has cultivation comparable to the Divine Transformation stage. We should be careful," Mu Chihuai said in a deep voice.

Under normal circumstances, demon beasts of this level placed in the inner area of the Demon Caves were meant to train Divine Transformation stage Demon Lords who came here.

These little shrimps coming here to get beaten up... no, to seek death.

"Only by defeating me will you be qualified to enter the next level," the ancient demon beast's phantom exhaled a scorching breath, looking at the five with cold disdain.

A bunch of Golden Core stage small fry, and even one at Foundation Establishment?

What were those useless creatures in the first nine levels doing? How did they let such trash in!

But no matter, for such ignorant rabble who don't know their own limitations, it would reluctantly move a finger to dispose of them all.

The five were on high alert, frantically thinking of countermeasures in their minds.

Zhu Xin'er's small face was deathly pale, not knowing what to do.

This was a Divine Transformation stage demon beast, the kind that could smash them into meat paste with one claw!

Chu Sang narrowed her eyes. This wasn't her first time fighting a Divine Transformation stage opponent, so she wasn't very panicked.

She had many killing weapons in her hand, with the Hundred Ghosts Banner naturally being her greatest trump card. But her current cultivation level was too low to fully control the Ghost King. She could only use the Hundred Ghosts Banner once a month, otherwise she would suffer severe, irreversible backlash. Even she couldn't be certain how serious the consequences would be.

Xiao Bai's domain was also useful, but its only drawback was that it could be maintained for too short a time.

When crossing realms, it could at most trap the opponent for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Crossing two realms, the effect was halved again.

This demon beast looked thick-skinned and sturdy. Chu Sang couldn't guarantee that she could defeat it in half the time an incense stick burns.

"How about we try this move?"

The demon beast saw that she wanted to use a sword formation and snorted even more disdainfully, "Empty posturing!"

Don't think it was uncultured. Even it, a demon beast, knew that a sword formation required at least six people to execute.

Because a formation needs at least six formation gates, and the most basic condition for activating a formation is that all six gates are simultaneously inputted with external energy.

Yet they only had five people in total, not even enough to meet the number requirement, and they still dared to bluff here? How utterly ridiculous!

"Who says a formation needs at least six people to drive it?" Chu Sang smiled arrogantly. "I alone am sufficient."

"Heh, you inexperienced brat, you don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"

"...Little Junior Sister, I know you're trying to hold it back to buy us time to escape, but isn't this lie a bit too big?" Not to mention the demon beast not believing it, even Tantai Ming didn't believe it one bit.

"I'm not joking," the young woman said lightly. "I mean it, really."

With a flick of her wrist, thousands of sword shadows were released. As her words fell, the fluttering red-robed figure also disappeared, suddenly appearing behind the demon beast.

The demon beast was about to slam down with its claw fiercely, but saw her quickly dodge again, successfully escaping this fatal attack.

The demon beast was furious with embarrassment, striking harder and faster, but strangely, it couldn't hit her even once.

The young woman's movements were incredibly fast, so fast that afterimages appeared.

Tantai Ming rubbed his eyes, hesitating, "Why do I seem to see... two Little Junior Sisters?"

Tang Yanling: "No, it's three."

Mu Chihuai: "It's clearly four."

"Five... six!" Zhu Xin'er cried out in disbelief.

The four looked on in shock as six identical red-robed young women appeared almost simultaneously, each sealing off one of the six directions around the demon beast. Six long swords swept out thousands of sword shadows.

The sword formation descended in an instant, covering the sky and earth. An immense spiritual power burst forth, shaking the entire tenth level of the Demon Caves.

When the dust settled, the demon beast's phantom had long since disappeared.

"No classic text ever said that a sword formation must be opened by six people, only that energy must be injected simultaneously from six directions," Chu Sang seriously corrected this semantic error before suddenly losing all strength. Her body went limp and was about to fall backward.

Mu Chihuai quickly supported her, hurriedly feeding her a pill to restore her energy.

"You took a Force-Boosting Pill?" He frowned.

On the eighth level, she had asked him for a Force-Boosting Pill. Seeing how weak she looked now, she had obviously just taken the drug.

Chu Sang nodded weakly, acknowledging it.

Although the sword formation could greatly enhance her attack power, maximizing her sword intent's offensive capability and even allowing her to fight across realms, she was after all only at the Golden Core stage now. Her strength was still too weak. Only the Force-Boosting Pill could increase her base power to the Nascent Soul realm in a short time, allowing her to fight this ancient demon beast phantom.

Undoubtedly, she had won this gamble this time.

Mu Chihuai didn't know what to say for a moment. Little Junior Sister did big things so quietly, truly daring to risk her life on a gamble.

If she hadn't killed that demon beast phantom in one strike just now, she would have been the first to meet the ancestors.

"Sister, you're my only sister!" Zhu Xin'er's attitude towards the group did a complete 180-degree turn. With her life saved, she couldn't be bothered to care about the small matter of being poisoned anymore.

"Little Junior Sister is so cool!" The die-hard fan Tantai Ming was about to crash into a wall for Chu Sang, but seeing her rarely show such a weak appearance, her face extremely pale, he scratched his head and mumbled worriedly, "But Little Junior Sister, don't be so reckless next time, okay? At least tell us in advance... I was almost scared to death just now, you know!"

"Forget about Divine Transformation stage, if you were even at Nascent Soul stage, Seventh Senior Brother, we wouldn't have had such a hard time passing this level," Chu Sang didn't miss any opportunity to lecture. "So hurry up and cultivate well!"

Tantai Ming clenched his fist. "I... I feel like I'm about to break through to late Golden Core stage!"

Following Little Junior Sister was either escaping for their lives or training. His realm was indeed increasing quickly. In these two years, he had broken through several times without encountering any major bottlenecks.

Recently, Tantai Ming had again felt the spiritual energy in his body surging, with signs of imminent breakthrough. He estimated it would happen within these two months!

"Then, good luck with that," Chu Sang sighed languidly. This wave of sword formation had really drained her too much. She felt like she was about to expire.

After successfully entering the eleventh level of the Demon Caves, the figures and voices of her senior brothers and sister slowly disappeared.

Chu Sang turned her head and found that in the vast forest, only she remained alone.

She had been separated from her three senior brothers and sister.

This situation wasn't strange to her, quite similar to secret realms.

However, unlike secret realms, this time her bracelet couldn't sense the positions of the others either.

Anyway, she couldn't find the others in a short time, and Chu Sang was now so tired she wanted to die. She simply decided to give up and lie flat, not wanting to make an effort anymore.

She directly took out her dearly bought portable cave dwelling, which was a two-story small pavilion.

It must be said that you get what you pay for. This money was really well spent!

The pavilion's decor was very beautiful and stylish, fully furnished, with bedrooms, cultivation rooms, study rooms, and guest rooms all available.

To be cautious, Chu Sang placed several defensive formations, concealment formations, and invisibility formations outside the portable cave dwelling... After basically ensuring her personal safety, she returned to the bedroom, casually took out a large coffin and placed it beside the bed, then without another word, buried her head and went to sleep.

"Boom!"

"Rumble rumble—"

She was sleeping soundly when, damn it, what the hell was making all that noise fighting outside??

Chu Sang tumbled out of the coffin, her hair bristling with anger.

She looked through the wooden window and found that somehow, her pavilion had been surrounded by a group of demon beasts that had appeared out of nowhere.

At first glance, Chu Sang thought her formations had failed and been discovered by these demon beasts.

Looking again, she saw another figure among the group of demon beasts, entangled in combat with them.

It was a man in silver-gray and black clothes, with a tall and straight figure. Half of his face was covered by a mask, revealing only slightly pale, beautiful thin lips. His wrist was wrapped in a layer of cold, gleaming black armor bracers, and his sharp blade added a few touches of sinister and gloomy aura.

This person was clearly dressed like someone from the demon race, but strangely... he had the aura of a human cultivator?

Chu Sang was now completely exhausted and couldn't be bothered to think too much about it. Originally, she didn't want to meddle in others' affairs,

but as she watched, she found the man's movements and techniques somewhat familiar... Damn it, aren't these the techniques of their Lingqing Sect??

Who was this person?

How did he know their Lingqing Sect's techniques?

This couldn't be ignored.

Chu Sang scratched her head.

Mo Baizhou numbly slaughtered a few more demon beasts. Black and red blood splattered on his robes, and blood dripped from his blade onto the ground, dyeing it with flower-like patterns of red spider lilies.

Since being trapped here half a year ago, he had been killing demon beasts day after day, feeling utterly bored to the extreme.

...He wanted to die so badly.

...He wanted to destroy this unbearably boring world along with himself.

If only he could obtain the legendary inheritance power, he could destroy this continent along with himself.

Just as some dark and extreme thoughts were uncontrollably growing in his heart, someone whistled a rogue's whistle. Mo Baizhou's hand movement paused, and ripples suddenly appeared in his dead heart.

"Who's there?" He instantly looked towards the sound but didn't see anyone. However, he clearly detected that faint and unfamiliar fluctuation of energy.

With a flick of his wrist, he neatly slaughtered several demon beasts pouncing towards him. His figure moved to the source of the sound, and he reached out his hand, but it was blocked by some kind of screen in mid-air.

There was actually a formation here, and it was clearly set up by someone?

He had been trapped here for half a year, yet someone from outside had entered?

Just as Mo Baizhou was thinking this, the formation suddenly opened. A small hand quickly reached out from within the formation and pulled him in.

The pursuing demon beasts saw the person suddenly disappear. Their already not-so-bright brains became even more confused, turning around in circles. They lowered their heads and sniffed the ground for a long time but couldn't find the person. They could only slink away dejectedly.

Inside the formation, Mo Baizhou expressionlessly looked at the unfamiliar red-robed young girl before him, without saying a word.

Although he wore a mask, his scrutinizing gaze felt almost tangible.

Chu Sang crossed her arms and similarly sized him up, speaking first, "Are you a disciple of our Lingqing Sect?"

The man didn't speak.

"Tsk, our Lingqing Sect has already fallen to such a miserable state. Surely no other sect would be foolish enough to steal our techniques? The sect only has about a dozen people up and down, and besides Master, I've only not met Big Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother... Master is a woman, so that's ruled out... Could you be my Fourth Senior Brother?" Chu Sang asked again.

The man still didn't speak, turning to examine his surroundings. He didn't seem very interested in her topic.

Chu Sang: "Are you mute?"

"......"

"And you're wearing a mask. Are you blind too? Or just too ugly to show your face?"

"......"

"You don't even get angry when I say this. Are you deaf as well?"

"......"

Chu Sang hissed, "Blind, deaf, and mute. How pitiful."

"...Who are you?" The man finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of hoarseness, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Chu Sang smiled at him, her eyes curving. "I'm the newly accepted Little Junior Sister of Lingqing Sect. Are you really my Fourth Senior Brother?"

He nodded slightly, his tone brief. "Mo Baizhou."

Chu Sang: "......" It really was a den of villains, with another troublemaker arriving.

The name Mo Baizhou was renowned in the original story, being the half-demon son abandoned by the previous Demon Sovereign.

Bearing the bloodlines of both races, he should have been a force to be reckoned with in both realms. However, just because Qin Xixue saved his life once and gave him some pills or something, Mo Baizhou fell in love with the female protagonist at first sight, just like the other lapdogs in this book.

But unfortunately, his role was set as a villain, destined to love the female protagonist without reciprocation.

Due to his own experiences, Mo Baizhou was jealous and world-weary. He had finally found the only light in his life, only to discover that this light didn't shine for him alone. Love turned to hate, and after he turned to the dark side later, he did quite a few destructive things, repeatedly putting the protagonist team in danger and nearly costing them their lives. Thus, he was also one of the most feared major villains in the original story, until he was struck down by the righteous leader male protagonist's sword in one move at the grand finale.

Rather than being killed by the protagonist team, it was more like he was killed by the plot.

The grand finale gave all the villains a round of intelligence reduction, turning them into experience packs and stepping stones for the protagonists' ascension.

Chu Sang stroked her chin. The assassin who attempted to kill the old Demon Sovereign half a year ago must have been Mo Baizhou.

After assassinating his good-for-nothing father who had been sowing his wild oats everywhere, Mo Baizhou must have come to the Twelve Demon Caves seeking inheritance.

So Mo Baizhou had been trapped here since half a year ago? No wonder he didn't go to compete for the Demon Sovereign position a month ago.

How pitiful.

Mo Baizhou was stared at with that sympathetic gaze by the young woman behind him for a while. He couldn't help but turn back, speaking faintly, "There's no way out of here... no entrance to the next level."

"This is the Twelve Demon Caves, and we're only at the eleventh level. How could there be no entrance?" Chu Sang clapped her hands. "Watch this."

Mo Baizhou looked at her in confusion. He had been aimlessly wandering here for half a year without finding an entrance. How could she possibly find one as soon as she arrived?

He saw the young woman take out a mirror.

The ancient and mysterious black mirror surface was carved with complex patterns, faintly exuding a certain profound and ancient mystical aura.

One glance was enough to determine that this object was certainly no ordinary item!

"...A Barrier-Breaking Mirror? Where did you get it?" Even Mo Baizhou couldn't help but be shocked. This was a top-grade divine demon tool, one that only Demon Lords were qualified to possess.

Legend had it that the Barrier-Breaking Mirror could perceive the truth and reality of the world. Any illusion technique would naturally break when viewed in the mirror.

"Where did you get this mirror?" He asked again, his tone slightly urgent.

"An old acquaintance gave it to me," Chu Sang waved her hand dismissively. "Good connections, can't help it."
