Chapter 61: Attack on the Sect, Pursuit for a Thousand Miles
Speaking of Ye Qingcheng, she was worried about Qin Lu, so her flying speed was much faster than usual. However, when she returned to the Holy Maiden Sect, she found that there were many traces of battle in the Holy Maiden Sect. Of course, she also saw some injured disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect.
She hurriedly flew towards these disciples. “What’s going on? What happened to you?”
“Senior Sister Qingcheng, you’re finally back.”
“After you and the Vice Sect Master left, a hundred demon powerhouses suddenly appeared.”
“They killed every disciple they saw. More than three hundred of our disciples died at their hands.” A female disciple said while crying.
They had been in the Holy Maiden Sect for so many years and had never encountered such a thing. It really scared them.
“What happened later?”
“Later, the four elders and Junior Brother Qin Lu rushed over and fought with them.”
“What about the four elders and Qin Lu?”
“They couldn’t beat the four elders and Junior Brother Qin Lu.”
“But these people are very cunning. First, some of them came to kill us to attract everyone’s attention. Then, some of them went to Elder Sun’s medicine garden and pharmacy to steal elixirs and pills.”
“Where are the four elders now? Where is Qin Lu?”
“The Great Elder asked us to take care of the injured disciples. They are now in the main hall.”
Hearing this disciple say that the four elders were in the main hall, Ye Qingcheng hurriedly flew towards the main hall. However, when she arrived at the main hall, she found many disciples lying there. The situation was very tragic.
Seeing Ye Qingcheng arrive, the Great Elder was stunned. “Qingcheng, why are you back? Didn’t you go to the One-Line Sky? What’s the situation there?”
“Great Elder, the Abyssal Demon Venerable is there with three demon powerhouses. The Vice Sect Master is fighting with him, but the others haven’t made a move yet and only two of them were fighting.”
“I felt something was wrong, so I came back to take a look.”
“Sigh, we were careless. We really didn’t expect the demons to be so cunning. They actually attacked our Holy Maiden Sect after you left. Many disciples died and many were injured!”
“Great Elder, how many people did they send? How did so many disciples get injured?”
“Not many of them came—only about 120 people—but they were all in the Golden Core Realm. We killed more than 80 of them, and the rest ran away. We were worried that they would attack again, so we didn’t dare to pursue the matter.”
“What about the Qin Lu? Where did he go?”
“Sigh, Ninth Elder’s spiritual herbs and medicinal pills have all been stolen. The Qin Lu has already gone and chased after those Golden Core experts who fled.”
“He went out alone?”
“Yes, he chased after them alone.” The Great Elder nodded.
“No wonder he didn’t come to One-Line-Sky for so long. It turns out he was chasing after a bunch of thieves.”
“Great Elder, I’ll have to trouble you with the matters here. I have to rush over to One-Line-Sky to take a look.”
“I’ve returned from the One-Line Sky. I reckon that the demons search party should have discovered that I’d returned to help you all. The Vice Sect Master and the others should have figured out that the situation isn’t good and will return immediately, but that Abyssal Demon Venerable should be able to pin them down and prevent them from returning.”
“If I rush over now, I might be able to help them.” Ye Qingcheng analyzed.
“Alright, then go quickly. Remember to be careful. These demons are really too cunning. Don’t fall into their trap.”
“Yes.” With that, Ye Qingcheng rushed back to One-Line-Sky on her sword.
Speaking of Qin Lu, he was a book transmigrator. Naturally, he knew that this time the Abyssal Demon Venerable would bring people over to create a diversion, so he deliberately told Qincheng that he had something to get on Wuchen Peak, and so he stayed there.
However, he was worried that something would happen to Ye Qingcheng, so he asked her to bring Xiao Gu along, but what Qin Lu didn’t expect was that these demons were too cunning. They first rushed over to kill those disciples with lower cultivation.
Although Qin Lu was in the Nascent Soul Realm, it was difficult for him to stop the hundred Golden Core experts of the demons alone. Fortunately, the four elders came quickly, otherwise, more disciples would have been killed.
Finally, Qin Lu remembered the matter of Ninth Elder Sun Siyao’s spiritual herbs and medicinal pills, so he hurriedly rushed over.
From afar, he saw twenty demon figures coming out of Elder Sun’s medicine garden, running in one direction. Thinking that these spiritual herbs and medicinal pills were the treasures of the Holy Maiden Sect, now that they were stolen, the loss was too great, so he chased after them alone.
Along the way, Qin Lu had already killed nineteen of the twenty demons, and their storage rings had been taken back by him. There was still the last demon. As long as he caught up with this demon, he would be able to take back all the stolen things.
As he chased after the last one, Qin Lu found that a red-leaf forest suddenly appeared in front of him. The demon was afraid of being caught by Qin Lu, so he went directly into the red leaf forest.
Qin Lu didn’t care about the red leaf forest and went straight in. His speed was very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, he caught up with the demon expert, killed him, and took back the storage ring. After taking back all the stolen things, Qin Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as he was about to go back, he found that he had broken into a strange place where he could not use his sword to fly. He had no choice but to walk, and as he was walking, he heard the sounds of running water.
His clothes were covered in blood from chasing and killing all the demons. Since there was water, he should take a bath here before going back.
When he walked towards the river, his eyes were almost blinded by what he saw.
