Chapter 135 hasn't even unleashed its full power yet.
Just as Lan Yue finished catching up on the latest gossip, she noticed that the elders were busy again.
Because they also discovered signs in the Southern Spirit Sect that a senior brother's fiancée might also be practicing this technique.
This involves the inner disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect. The elders are very serious, and some even followed that senior brother back to his family to investigate the situation thoroughly.
"So they've already infiltrated the Southern Spirit Sect. I wonder how many other sects have been victimized." Lan Yue found it terrifying.
After all, killing one's wife to attain enlightenment is actually quite normal in the cultivation world, and even if others know that someone's partner has been killed, they can't interfere.
Only close relatives and friends were injured.
The demons probably saw this loophole, which is why they deliberately laid out a dark network, intending to disrupt the cultivation world.
"This wasn't mentioned in the original story either. So so many things happened before the Demon Clan's complete invasion?" Lan Yue pondered.
She felt she needed to hurry up and eat some melons to continue improving her cultivation, so she didn't bother to check out some melons that she thought weren't very sweet before.
I have to go through them all now, because it's all points!
Just as Lan Yue was about to begin, a familiar figure flew over from Ling Yue Peak.
Elder Duanmu, dressed in dark green robes, flew over with a serious expression.
Everyone on Lingyue Peak's eyes lit up. They hadn't seen Elder Duanmu for a long time and didn't know what had happened at Qing Shi Sect.
"Sect Master, I'm back." Elder Duanmu's voice sounded somewhat tired.
Yun Chong was studying demonic arts with several elders when he saw Elder Duanmu flying over, and he stopped what he was doing.
"Duanmu, how are things at the Qing Shi Sect?"
Elder Duanmu sighed: "Fortunately, we discovered it early. The disciples of the Qing Shi Sect who were parasitized by the demons have been brought under control. I have already had other elders guard the area and keep an eye on those people."
"Are there so many disciples of the Azure Stone Sect who have been parasitized? It seems that the Demon Abyss Rift over there has never been completely sealed. How is the rift over there now?" Yun Chong also felt troubled after hearing this.
He had only thought that the other two disciples of the Qing Shi Sect had been parasitized, but he did not expect that other disciples would also suffer the same fate.
I don't know what bad luck this sect has had to fall to such a state.
However, the fact that the Demon Abyss Rift appeared but was secretly hidden and not reported means that they are only reaping what they sowed.
"We reacted quickly, and the rift over there has been completely sealed. We just don't know how many demons came through the rift and hid here during this period."
This is what Elder Duanmu is most worried about. He is not worried about the disciples who have already been controlled, nor about the entire Qing Shi Sect, but about the demons who are still hiding.
They were indeed not afraid of demons of these levels, but their disciples were in danger.
"When did that crack appear?" Yun Chong asked.
"It was said that the Qing Shi Sect Master discovered it just three days before the opening of the Jue Ling Island Ruins. He had sealed it twice, but something still went wrong."
Elder Duanmu felt exhausted. Finding out those disciples who had been parasitized by the demons among so many disciples was indeed exhausting.
"That's good, it's only three days." Yun Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
He had previously suspected that the demon named Jiaojiao had entered through that crack.
It now appears that this is not the case; those demons who brought demonic arts had already arrived in the cultivation world long ago.
He recounted the incident to Elder Duanmu.
Elder Duanmu also had a somber expression.
"Sect Master, we may need you to go there again to take control of the entire Qing Shi Sect. I think the whole sect is probably in trouble."
[Lan Yue: That's definitely a serious problem. In the original story, the entire Qing Shi Sect was controlled by the Demon Clan!]
Lan Yue couldn't quite remember some of the other details of this epic cultivation novel, but she remembered everything about the Azure Stone Sect very clearly.
She remembered that in a secret realm during the Four Regions Grand Competition, the entire Qing Shi Sect had transformed into demons, frantically hunting down disciples from the cultivation world.
Those disciples who were originally able to gather at the Four Regions Grand Competition already possessed extremely high talent.
They represent the future of the entire cultivation world. They participate in the competition not only to gain fame, but also to hone their skills.
However, during that very match, countless demons, transformed from Qing Shizong, suffered heavy casualties.
Countless geniuses who should have shone brightly in the future died tragically in a small secret realm, their remains never found.
She remembered it so clearly because she was so moved by that passage in the original work that she even had nightmares about it.
If she remembered correctly, many of the senior brothers and sisters of the Southern Spirit Sect, including Senior Sister Qingzhu and Senior Brother Jiang Li, died in that hunt.
Senior Sister Qingzhu's umbrella handle was broken, and her once black hair had turned completely white, yet she was still desperately protecting the disciples behind her.
He single-handedly lured countless demonic soldiers away, all so that more people could survive.
This is also why Lan Yue saw the Qing Shi Sect disciples being controlled in the ruins, all of whom were covered in sacks.
No, she couldn't let the demons succeed again! She had to wipe out those demons hidden in the Azure Stone Sect before they got away with it!
"Elder Duanmu, I'm going too!" Lan Yue was extremely anxious.
"I have recently gained quite a bit of knowledge about formations, and I previously obtained a formation from the formation tower that can identify demons."
"Take me with you, and I can find all the hidden demons!"
Lan Yue patted her chest forcefully.
The sect leader and elders over there were still hesitating.
Lan Yue has seen through the demons' scheme; the demons will surely realize what's going on.
Enraged, the demons might secretly attack Lan Yue.
Moreover, Xiao Lanyue's previous gossip at the Wangchen Sect had attracted a lot of attention.
They rushed to bring the child back for the child's safety, but now they're letting him go again.
I am afraid...
While those people were still hesitating, Lan Yue had already opened the system.
[Lan Yue: Since the soft approach isn't working, we'll have to resort to the hard one. Let's see what other gossip Elder Duanmu has up his sleeve.]
[Huh, Elder Duanmu even sneaked back under the cover of night recently to look for...]
"Go, I'll take you there right now!" Elder Duanmu suddenly said seriously.
"You bunch of little brats only know how to talk big. It's time to show you what a real demon is like!"
"The real demons are far more terrifying than you can imagine, so be sure to protect yourselves when the time comes!"
Lan Yue blinked. She hadn't even unleashed her full power yet, and the elder on the other side had already given in.
Could it be that they were shocked by her smashing the demon with a single blow?
