Join the ServerYe Cha had only completed one major cultivation cycle, yet three days had already passed. Fortunately, having reached the Golden Core stage, his body could now absorb the ambient spiritual energy, meaning he would no longer suffer from hunger.
Nevertheless, years of ingrained habit still led many high-level cultivators to continue eating.
However, the spiritual rice and spiritual noodles they consumed were imbued with a significant amount of spiritual energy.
This transformed eating into another form of cultivation, allowing cultivators to considerably increase the spiritual energy within their bodies. Of course, spiritual rice was exceedingly precious, with disciples within the sect receiving a fixed monthly quota based on their status and rank.
Previously, after Ye Cha’s promotion from an odd-job disciple to an outer sect disciple, he had no opportunity to partake in spiritual rice.
Now, as the Sect Master’s registered disciple, spiritual rice was available to him in abundance, enough to eat his fill.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans.
Originally, due to the Sect Master’s urgent search for the Heavenly Net Physique, Ye Cha was supposed to depart from the Lingtian Sect as quickly as possible. However, the escape of the demonic enchantress had now disrupted his final days, making his stay in the Lingtian Sect anything but peaceful.
Upon receiving Senior Sister Xiaoyue’s message, Ye Cha understood that he would have to stay confined to Bamboo Abode for the next few days, minimizing his outings.
Yet, even as Ye Cha pondered this, a black paper crane suddenly appeared, circling around him.
The next second, Fourth Senior Sister Wang Zhi’s voice echoed in Ye Cha’s ear.
[Junior Brother Ye Cha, the demonic enchantress defeated Senior Sister Lu Xi, and now she’s specifically demanding to see you. It’s clear she has ill intentions; quickly leave Xiyun Peak and hide somewhere else!]
Upon hearing this transmitted message, Ye Cha paused in surprise.
He knew the demonic enchantress hadn’t immediately left the Lingtian Sect, instead randomly selecting disciples to be her unfortunate victims. However, to boldly assault Xiyun Peak was an entirely unforeseen development.
Moreover, Senior Sister Lu Xi had actually been defeated, which spoke volumes about Ke Qian’s capabilities.
He had heard whispers before that the captured demonic enchantress was some kind of protector from the Ziyan Sect. Now, it was evident her status was far from low.
At this moment, Ye Cha recalled Wang Zhi’s message once more. After pacing a few steps within his room, a subtle smile involuntarily crept up the corners of his lips.
‘It seems Ke Qian can’t stop thinking about him!’
The normal reaction would be to flee quickly while Shen Ruotong was away from the sect.
However, Ke Qian was acting completely out of character. Thinking about it this way, perhaps hunting Lingtian Sect disciples was merely an excuse.
His true target was him.
As Ye Cha realized this, his eyebrows involuntarily raised, and a plan immediately began to form in his mind. He knew exactly what he needed to do next.
This was the perfect opportunity to legitimately leave the Lingtian Sect.

“Demonic enchantress, release Senior Sister Lu Xi at once! Otherwise, when my Master returns, she will utterly annihilate your soul!”
As Xiong Ni spoke, a sharp pain shot through her chest, and she couldn’t help but cough up a large mouthful of black blood. Clearly, she was deeply poisoned.
Beside her, the weakened Second Senior Sister Li Tian’ai struggled to prop herself up, reaching out to grasp Xiong Ni’s wrist, urging her not to further provoke the demonic enchantress.
Their combined cultivation levels were not low, and they shouldn’t have suffered such a crushing defeat against a demonic enchantress.
However, the potent poison the enchantress carried rendered them utterly powerless.
Recalling this, Li Tian’ai instinctively glanced towards Senior Sister Lu Xi, her eyes reddening as she saw her lying equally weak on the ground, with a deep wound on her arm exposing the bone.
At that moment, the enchantress had intended to kill her, but Senior Sister Lu Xi had protected her, even at the cost of being poisoned. If only she had been stronger, Senior Sister Lu Xi wouldn’t have been injured!
“Hmph, I might not be able to defeat Shen Ruotong, but don’t forget that our Ziyan Sect Master’s power is on par with your Master’s!”
Having expended considerable spiritual energy to deal with the four, Ke Qian had barely managed a victory. She merely scoffed, her voice brimming with pride as she spoke.
Just as the righteous Lingtian Sect boasted the genius sword cultivator Shen Ruotong, the Ziyan Sect, the foremost demonic sect, also possessed its own pillar of strength.
Despite their Sect Master being somewhat unreliable, constantly seeking out men recently…
Due to her Violet Yin Spiritual Physique, cultivating the Ziyan Sect’s secret arts yielded twice the results with half the effort, leading to rapid increases in her cultivation. She had now broken through to the Void Refinement stage.
However, alongside her cultivation advancement, the Sect Master’s desire for men also intensified.
Consequently, news of the Sect Master’s breakthrough vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, without a ripple. Instead, rumors of the Ziyan Sect once again preying on men spread rapidly throughout the cultivation world.
This left male cultivators in the cultivation world fearing for their lives, wishing they could shrink into their sects and never dare to show their faces, lest they be captured by the Ziyan Sect’s evil cultivators and die mysteriously. Even becoming a cauldron offered a slim hope of survival, but once inside the Ziyan Sect, even living was a luxury.
It was said that the corpses of men carried out from the Ziyan Sect could pile up like mountains.
With such terrifying rumors circulating, wherever Ziyan Sect disciples went, barely a single man could be found.
This left the Ziyan Sect disciples feeling helpless; even occasionally trying to capture a few cauldrons for themselves proved incredibly difficult. If they finally managed to catch one, upon hearing they were from the Ziyan Sect, the man would immediately cry out that he didn’t want to be tortured to death, then commit suicide.
This left the Ziyan Sect members no time to explain, watching helplessly as the male cultivator breathed his last.
Given the severe impact their Sect Master had caused, the disciples within the sect harbored many grievances. However, as no one was a match for the Sect Master, any dissent could only be kept to themselves.
“The Ziyan Sect harming male cultivators to practice evil arts is a recognized fact in the cultivation world! Even if your Sect Master’s cultivation is powerful, it’s achieved through unorthodox methods and cannot compare to our Master!”
Among the four disciples of Xiyun Peak, only Xiong Ni was less severely injured, giving her the energy to argue with Ke Qian. As a righteous disciple, Xiong Ni naturally disdained evil cultivators, who were universally condemned. Thus, she spoke without fear, despite her disadvantaged position.
Ke Qian’s eyes dangerously narrowed, and a slow smile spread across her lips.
The next second, a purple light suddenly appeared, flying straight towards Xiong Ni.
Seeing this, Xiong Ni bit her lip tightly and immediately raised her hand, conjuring a barrier to resist the purple light’s attack.
However, Xiong Ni, already at the end of her strength, could not hold out for long.
As the barrier shattered under the purple light, the light’s speed remained undiminished, hurtling rapidly towards Xiong Ni’s face.
If struck, Xiong Ni would be disfigured, even if she survived.
Just as Xiong Ni’s eyes widened in terror, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking the purple light with her own body.
“Senior Sister Lu Xi!!!”
At that moment, Xiong Ni’s tears streamed down her face as she looked at the heavily injured Lu Xi. The usual bickering and disagreements vanished, replaced only by a blinding, stark red.
“Haha, such touching camaraderie! But what a pity! All of you will die today. When Shen Ruotong returns to the Lingtian Sect and sees the corpses of her disciples, what a spectacular expression she’ll have!”
Ke Qian watched the heavily wounded, blood-spitting Lu Xi and burst into laughter. Her words sent a chilling warning through Xiong Ni and the others.
This time, they were truly doomed.
“Weren’t you quite talkative just now? Then, let’s start with you!”
Ke Qian then looked at the tearful Xiong Ni, immediately deciding she would be the first to die. The thought of a future Lingtian Sect powerhouse dying by her hands filled Ke Qian with an exhilarating joy, making her want to sing a song to express her delight.
However, just as she was about to make her move, a clear yet familiar male voice suddenly rang out.
“Wait.”
