Chapter 1129: Saving People

Surprisingly, a powerful person like Li Zhou actually ignored the complaints of his disciples and let the people below talk about him behind his back. In the end, the whole sect complained and asked Li Zhou to give a reasonable explanation for what happened during this period.

Li Zhou avoided talking about this matter and stayed in his room to practice. All matters were handed over to Yuwen Shu to handle.

Since Yuwen Shu seized power, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He seemed to be moody and would not tolerate the disciples' gossip. Once he found someone saying bad things about Li Zhou or several of their elders, he would arrest the person and torture them. He even came up with a way for the disciples to report and expose each other, which filled the whole sect with white terror.

Under this high pressure, many disciples of Qingcheng Sect could not stand it and thought of defecting.

Not long after, Yuwen Shu found out about this, and arrested the friends and relatives of the escaped disciple, tortured them severely, and asked about the whereabouts of the escaped disciple. His methods were so cruel that all the remaining disciples could not bear to watch.

Since then, the negative emotions accumulated by the disciples of Qingcheng Sect have become more and more, and they are on the verge of breaking out.

Finally, after Yuwen Shu executed three offending disciples at once, the disciples of Qingcheng Sect, who were in danger, finally rose up in resistance and gathered to find Li Zhou, demanding that he abolish Yuwen Shu's arbitrary power, otherwise they would collectively withdraw from Qingcheng Sect.

Things have come to this point, and Li Zhou naturally can't sit idly by, otherwise the ancestral hall will be smashed by the excited disciples.

However, when everyone saw Li Zhou, they found that he had entered the Nascent Soul stage, and his temperament became gloomy.

Facing the angry disciples, Li Zhou just glanced coldly, and then waved his hand directly, pouring a black light into the body of the disciple in front.

This disciple was the leader. Seeing the black light pouring into his body, he subconsciously wanted to force it out. But before he could move, black mist suddenly began to flow from his seven orifices. Then his whole body seemed to be convulsing and twisted, and black bumps grew from the surface of his skin from time to time.

In less than ten breaths, this disciple turned into a monster like a toad!

Seeing this monster rolling on the ground, the Qingcheng disciples retreated more than ten meters and looked at this weird scene in horror.

"Hu~ Hu~"

After a while, the monster stopped struggling and slowly got up from the ground.

The Qingcheng disciples saw that the monster was three meters tall, covered with tumors, drooling, and his eyes were full of bloodthirsty light.

Dongdongdong...

The monster stood up and saw the Qingcheng disciples standing in front of him. He strode forward, opened his arms and grabbed a Qingcheng disciple.

"Let me go, let me go...ah!"

The disciple screamed in fear, but just after screaming twice, the monster bit off his neck and began to eat his flesh.

Seeing that the man was bitten to death and most of him was eaten, the disciples finally realized that there was something wrong with Li Zhou and fled.

However, Li Zhou raised his hand and shot out a few more black lights, turning several disciples who did not have time to escape into monsters and began to chase and kill those disciples who did not escape far.

In the next few days, Qingcheng Sect seemed to have become a monster playground. The living disciples of Qingcheng Sect became prey and were constantly hunted.

Among these disciples, only a few Jindan disciples were in a better situation. They could fly with the wind, and the monsters could only chase and kill them on the ground, which could not threaten them for the time being.

In order to protect themselves, they worked together and took advantage of their ability to fly to ambush monsters on the ground and help other disciples who could not fly escape.

After releasing the monster, Li Zhou, Yuwen Shu and others did not appear again until the last monster was killed, Yuwen Shu finally appeared.

This time, he did not stand on the side of the Qingcheng disciples, but regarded these Jindan disciples as opponents.

These Jindan disciples were forced to fight, but then they found that Yuwen Shu had advanced to the Nascent Soul in just ten days. Now his strength has greatly increased, and they are no match for him at all.

As expected, these Jindan disciples had no possibility of escape when facing Yuwen Shu, who was one level higher. They were quickly defeated one by one and died without a complete body.

Fortunately, after a long period of escape, the disciples of Qingcheng Sect have figured out a way to hide and ambush monsters.

These disciples traveled in groups, and when they encountered monsters, they circled according to the terrain, taking advantage of the monsters' low intelligence and slowly grinding them to death.

Soon, this method spread, and the casualties caused by the monsters began to gradually decrease, and finally few people died.

However, this situation was not what Li Zhou and others wanted to see. When they found that the Qingcheng disciples were difficult to deal with, they gave up the idea of ​​using monsters to chase and kill them. Instead, they asked several elders to personally hunt down the surviving disciples. In this process, they were not in a hurry to kill the disciples, but used various methods to intimidate and disturb them, making the disciples exhausted and in a state of mental tension for a long time.

The disciples suffered terribly, but once they were caught by the elders, they would either be burned to death by fire, or bitten to death by poisonous insects, rats and ants, or even be cut into pieces by the elders and eaten alive.

Faced with this cruel way of death, many people have collapsed mentally and chose to commit suicide. The rest of them are also struggling to survive, and it is unknown how long they can hold on.

In addition to the disciples, there are thousands of servants cultivating the spiritual fields in the Qingcheng Sect's cave. These people are not very strong. Logically, they did not participate in the actions of the Qingcheng disciples and would not be hostile to the elders. However, after the number of disciples gradually decreased, they were also driven away by the elders and became the targets of hunting.

Since then, the Qingcheng Sect's cave has been full of corpses and blood, and it is no longer the lively scene before!

And the people rescued by Xu Jingyi are the only dozen or so survivors among the Qingcheng disciples...

Hearing this shocking news, Xuan Chengzi and others' faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, not only because of the brutal massacre of the Qingcheng Sect, but also because of deep worry.

From the Qingcheng disciples, they learned that elders such as Li Zhou and Yuwen Shu had advanced to the Nascent Soul in less than a month, and their cultivation was probably much stronger now.

There is no doubt that they have all fallen into the devil's way, which is why they have done such an outrageous thing. As for the righteous people, they will inevitably stand on the opposite side of them. If there is a conflict between the two sides, I am afraid that many people will die, which is really worrying.

"Master Xu, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

At this time, Xuan Chengzi looked at Xu Jingyi and asked seriously.

Among these people, only Xu Jingyi received Chu Yang's warning. She must know more things. It is natural to let her come forward to make decisions.

Everyone also spoke up and let her decide the next action.

"If it's as they say, Li Zhou and several elders will take turns to kill people, and the others won't show up. I think it's He Tian's turn today, so we met him. Now that his physical body is destroyed, his Nascent Soul can't take over another body and be reborn for a while. I guess there are no other elders in this cave. Since we are here, we can't just sit back and watch this happen. In my opinion, we might as well rescue the remaining people in the cave first, and then wait for an opportunity to deal with Li Zhou and other demons. In this way, even if there are some mistakes, at least a lot of lives can be saved, and we won't return empty-handed!"

Xu Jingyi analyzed calmly.

According to the opinions of some sect leaders, it would be better for them to leave the cave quickly, wait for the masters of the major sects in the cultivation world to gather, and then come in to encircle Li Zhou and others. This is the safest way.

However, this approach will inevitably weaken the momentum. If they flee without a fight, they will lose the face of the sect leaders present, so they are too embarrassed to speak.

Hearing Xuan Chengzi asking Xu Jingyi to make the decision, they couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that Xu Jingyi would impulsively lead everyone to attack those demons. Now the enemy situation is unclear, and no one knows what dangers will arise, so they all looked at Xu Jingyi with burning eyes.

Xu Jingyi also guessed what they meant. Now that the demons have suddenly revived, no one knows much about them. If they really go to the door to eliminate the demons, there will inevitably be losses. The safest way now is to find a way to contact Chu Yang and ask him about the weaknesses of the demons, so that they can be more confident in fighting.

Therefore, when she gave her advice, she chose a compromise method. First, she rescued all the disciples of Qingcheng Sect while Li Zhou and others were not prepared, and then withdrew from the cave first, and then slowly planned it. In this way, there was also a reasonable excuse for retreat.

Of course, there was another more critical reason why Xu Jingyi suggested doing this.

Earlier, Chu Yang warned them from Chu Ling'er that the practice of magic was not like ordinary cultivators, who needed all kinds of elixirs and superb skills. To improve their cultivation, they only needed to absorb the seven emotions of humans to advance quickly.

Looking at the series of actions of Li Zhou and others, Xu Jingyi had already guessed the purpose of their doing such unscrupulous things.

At first, Li Zhou and others seized power, probably just to get real power and plan the next plan slowly.

So after fighting with Xue Yunfeng, Li Zhou did not kill them all, but wanted to stabilize the forces of both parties first and try to turn hostility into friendship, so that he could be worthy of the title of the head.

But he and Yuwen Shu probably did not expect that Xue Yunfeng was so persistent in the position of the head that he would continue to fight for power with Li Zhou at the cost of breaking his oath, which directly led to the further division of Qingcheng Sect, and the two sides attacked each other, causing great chaos.

In this melee, all the disciples were involved. I am afraid that the various emotions generated at that time were overwhelming, which benefited Li Zhou and others infinitely. In the end, although Li Zhou drove Xue Yunfeng away, he still executed all the surrendered disciples. The huge panic caused by this benefited them a lot.

Xu Jingyi even thought that perhaps Li Zhou and others did not understand this method of cultivation before. It was not until these chaos that they realized that they could rely on these emotions to cultivate. Therefore, Yuwen Shu began to deliberately execute disciples, making all the disciples in the sect feel insecure, and using their negative emotions to verify his conjecture.

As expected, Li Zhou and others finally discovered this secret. Since there is such a way to quickly improve their cultivation, they will naturally not miss it. Therefore, Li Zhou no longer concealed the cruel and bloodthirsty nature of the demon path, and created many monsters to hunt down the disciples. After the disciples were killed and injured, they turned their attention to the thousands of servants.

Although these servants' cultivation is not high, they are all human beings and can still produce various emotions, so these servants cannot escape this knot...

Xu Jingyi thought of this and couldn't help but have an idea. If all the people in the cave can be rescued, Li Zhou and others will not have various emotions as nourishment, and their cultivation will not be able to continue to grow. This is undoubtedly a best of both worlds, so she made this suggestion.
