Jiang Li’s eyes narrowed slightly. It should be Lin Shan.
Jiang Li still remembered Lin Shan’s life script from before. He would be favored by a core disciple at the end of the assessment and taken as a male consort.
It seemed Lin Shan couldn’t escape his fate after all. Jiang Li shook his head.
“What happened next?” Jiang Li continued to ask.
Immediately, Lin Qiuyue recounted the events to Jiang Li in detail.
At the crucial moment when Lin Dong was about to kill Lin Shan, Li Xiaoji appeared. Then, the two exchanged a blow, and Li Xiaoji actually failed to kill Lin Dong.
Li Xiaoji was a core disciple at the eighth level of the Core Formation realm.
Lin Dong was merely an outer disciple. Although there were rumors that he had killed many inner disciples before, those were just rumors.
And Lin Dong, who had been in the outer sect for less than a month, could withstand a blow from an eighth-level Core Formation realm cultivator without dying. This speed of improvement was outrageously fast.
After Lin Dong was severely injured, he was spotted by an inner elder who directly took him away, saving him from certain death at Li Xiaoji’s hands.
As Lin Qiuyue spoke, she looked at Jiang Li in the bath, her eyes filled with admiration.
Although Lin Dong was unbelievable, this Jiang Li was even more astonishing.
When Lin Qiuyue had gone to Xu Yang Peak to fetch Jiang Li before, she had felt that Jiang Li was just an ordinary disciple who could be easily eliminated.
But now, the pressure emanating from Jiang Li was no less than the pressure the Saintess gave her.
It was even stronger than the Saintess.
This Jiang Li was the true peerless prodigy, Lin Qiuyue thought to herself.
As expected of the protagonist of destiny; he didn’t die even when the core disciples targeted him, and then an elder appeared.
“Ah, was he severely injured?”
Jiang Li’s eyes lit up. Last time, it was during the outer sect assessment that Lin Dong was severely injured, and then his strength greatly increased.
This time, he was severely injured again. Perhaps some fortuitous encounter would surface.
No, I have to go and see later, Jiang Li thought.
“Senior Brother Jiang, this is for you from the Saintess!” Just as Jiang Li’s thoughts were in turmoil, Lin Qiuyue, dressed in a light gauze skirt, holding a secret manual, respectfully handed it to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li withdrew his spiritual energy and stood up directly from the bath.
At this moment, Lin Qiuyue was kneeling on one knee beside the bath, holding an ancient secret manual in her hands.
The moving curve below her delicate collarbone was clearly visible to Jiang Li.
He could even see the slightly moving… extremely alluring…
Such attire and posture were bound to spark imagination.
Although Lin Qiuyue’s appearance and figure couldn’t compare to the Demoness, she was still among the top beauties on the Saintess Peak.
A hint of heat arose in Jiang Li’s heart. He had been thoroughly teased by that Demoness yesterday, and his desires were already burning intensely.
These female disciples were dressed so provocatively, clearly tempting him to commit a crime.
Lin Qiuyue felt the fiery aura emanating from the man in front of her, and her cheeks flushed.
She suddenly remembered what the Saintess had told her, and her cheeks became even more radiant, making her appear stunningly beautiful.
“Senior Brother Jiang, if you want…” Lin Qiuyue’s body trembled slightly, and she then said softly.
Jiang Li’s lips twitched. This Demoness, she never forgets, even when she’s not here, she arranges for her subordinates…
She’s always thinking of draining me dry.
“No need, I still have to cultivate!” Jiang Li suppressed his inner fire and said.
Although Jiang Li didn’t care about these details, he wanted his first time to have a beautiful beginning, right?
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Qiuyue’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
A peerless prodigy like Senior Brother Jiang is only worthy of the Saintess, Lin Qiuyue comforted herself silently.
[Demon Shadow Maze]; Earth-tier top-grade martial art, its footwork is ethereal and unpredictable, its speed is extremely fast, and it is silent…
This was exactly the movement technique martial art that Jiang Li had asked Tang Siqi to find. Jiang Li had looked through the fortuitous encounters of many disciples but hadn’t found a suitable movement technique martial art.
So, he asked Tang Siqi to find one for him.
And this movement technique martial art was the best that Tang Siqi could obtain.
After all, although she was the Saintess of the Demonic Sect, she still had to abide by the rules of the Demonic Sect under certain circumstances.
After Jiang Li accepted [Demon Shadow Maze], he let Lin Qiuyue and the others leave.
He himself, holding the Enlightenment Stone, began cultivating [Demon Shadow Maze] in the palace.
[Demon Shadow Maze] indeed lived up to its Earth-tier top-grade martial art status; its cultivation difficulty far surpassed that of Heaven-tier martial arts.
Jiang Li practiced it several times but still hadn’t managed to get started.
Time slowly passed.
…
…
In the palace, Jiang Li’s figure moved like a phantom, making him unpredictable.
It seemed as if shadows were weaving through the surroundings, their trajectories impossible to track with the naked eye.
“This [Demon Shadow Maze] is too difficult!” Jiang Li said, panting after practicing for a long time.
Even with the aid of the Enlightenment Stone, it took Jiang Li half a day to cultivate [Demon Shadow Maze] to the minor accomplishment realm.
However, the time spent was worth it. Jiang Li felt a sense of security just thinking about his recent footwork.
With the boost from this Earth-tier martial art, his speed had increased so much that his efficiency in both chasing enemies and escaping would be greatly improved in the future.
Next, after adjusting his state to its optimal condition, Jiang Li decided to go and check on Lin Dong.
…
Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, Inner Sect Purple Radiance Peak.
Jiang Li slowly walked towards Purple Radiance Peak.
According to the information provided by Lin Qiuyue, Lin Dong was currently at Purple Radiance Peak.
Isn’t Purple Radiance Peak the mountain peak where Luo Yunxi is located? Jiang Li thought.
Before, after Luo Yunxi had brought Jiang Li into the sect, she had told him that she had been noticed by an elder on Purple Radiance Peak and accepted as an inner disciple.
Logically speaking, after being treated like that by Lin Dong, the two should no longer have any dealings with each other.
Why was Lin Dong now going to Purple Radiance Peak, where Luo Yunxi resided?
…
Purple Radiance Peak.
Purple Radiance Peak was filled with the sounds of many women’s voices.
Most of the disciples on this peak were inner female disciples.
As for the few male disciples, they were generally confined to the edge of the mountain peak.
The spiritual energy in the cave dwelling at the very center of Purple Radiance Peak was exceptionally abundant.
In front of the cave dwelling stood a young man with a resolute face. The young man’s complexion was pale, and he stood tall and straight before the cave dwelling, silent, his eyes filled with determination.
“Isn’t that Lin Dong? What’s he doing at Purple Radiance Peak?”
“Yeah, wasn’t he beaten senseless by Core Disciple Li just yesterday? Why is he here now…”
“Heh heh, you guys don’t know this, but it’s for Elder Yang’s disciple, Luo Yunxi.”
“Does he like Luo Yunxi too? But what does he mean by standing here…”
“Luo Yunxi is the number one beauty in our Yellow Springs Demonic Sect’s inner sect, who wouldn’t like her…”
“I heard that when they were both handyman disciples, they had a good relationship. Later, for some reason, their relationship broke down. I don’t know the details of what happened…”
“Hiss… It won’t be another major drama, will it…”
…
