Chapter 113:

The next day, Qin Lu woke up early.

He thought that the Pill Sect’s Sect Master would bring him good news, but he didn’t see him come. He then proceeded to strode out of the room. When he walked out of the guest room, he found that there was a commotion outside. He walked out curiously and found that many people had gathered around.

Qin Lu curiously asked a servant of the Lan family about it. Only then did he learn that the demons were attacking. Hearing the words demonic sect, Qin Lu’s expression changed. He hesitated for a moment, then rose on his sword and flew outside.

Although he didn’t have any attachment to the Pill Sect, there was an opportunity that he and Xiao Gu needed in the sect, so if the demonic sect caused trouble, it would cause some problems with his transaction with the Pill Sect.

Qin Lu rode on his sword and flew several dozen miles, and saw many Pill Sect disciples facing off against the demonic sect powerhouses from afar. On the Pill Sect’s side, there were two Out of Body Realm powerhouses, nine Nascent Soul Realm elders, more than three hundred Gold Core Realm, and about two thousand Core Formation Realm.

On the demonic sect’s side, there were three Demon Venerables, ten Hall Masters, five hundred Golden Core Realm elders, and about two thousand Core Formation Realm. There weren’t many people, but their overall strength was much stronger than that of the Pill Sect.

Seeing the three Demon Venerables, the Pill Sect’s Sect Master and those elders had ugly expressions. Three Demon Venerables—were they planning to destroy the Pill Sect? So many actually came at once.

In the past, the Demonic Sect would attack the Pill Sect, but never with such a big lineup. What was wrong with them this time?

“Three Demon Venerables, why have you come to our Pill Sect with great fanfare today?”

“Sect Master Lan, we are here on the orders of the Demon Emperor to take over your Pill Sect. If you don’t want the Pill Sect to flow with rivers of blood, hand over the Pill Sect.”“Demon Emperor?” Everyone’s expressions changed. Demon Emperor, this was a terrifying existence. Heavens, why was he eyeing their pill sect? Being stared at by a demon emperor was like being stared at by a ghost. It was impossible to not be afraid.

“Father, what should we do? Are we still going to fight?” Lan Hong asked in a low voice. Lan Hong had dealt with the Demonic Sect a few times, but she had never seen so many of them. Especially the three Demon Venerables. She was afraid to even look at them, let alone fight them.

What should they do? Could it be that their Pill Sect was going to be doomed this time?

“Elders, what do you think?”

“Sect Master, they are all stronger than us; additionally, they have a Demon Emperor behind them. Let’s hand over the Pill Sect. Otherwise, our Pill Sect really will be destroyed,” said the Grand Elder.

Although this was their home and their foundation, they were clear about the current situation. Even if they gave it their all, they still wouldn’t be able to stop these demons. It was better to preserve their lives so that they could make a comeback.

“Great Elder, we can’t do that! This is our home! How can we give our home to the demons!”

“Yes, we can’t.”

The youngsters from the Pill Sect began to object. To them, it was nothing more than a demon. At worst, they would fight and die; they couldn’t possibly just give up their homes to the demons. Hence, before the battle even started, the people on the Alchemy Sect’s side were already unsettled.

One of the Demon Venerables walked out as he discovered that the Pill Sect’s people were starting to lose their morale. A powerful aura was released directly. In an instant, that terrifying power shocked the disciples of the Pill Sect. They usually focused on alchemy and rarely saw such an aura. Many people who already had the intention of fighting couldn’t help but be frightened.

Sensing the intention of this Demon Venerable, the Pill Sect’s sect master’s expression changed. He hurriedly released his qi to resist the other party’s powerful aura. Only then did the people of the Pill Sect feel better. The power just now was really terrifying.

“Blood-devouring Demon Venerable, you’ve gone too far.”

“Pill Sect’s sect master, this is just a warning. If you don’t listen, even more outrageous things will happen later.”

“You…” The Pill Sect’s sect master’s expression was ugly.

Just as the people of the Pill Sect were hesitating, a voice suddenly sounded. “Yo, why are there so many people? It’s quite noisy!”

Everyone then saw a young man slowly flying over on a sword. Seeing this young man, everyone was stunned. Wasn’t this the kid who came to the Pill Sect with Miss Lan Caidie yesterday? Why did he come here?

Lan Hong was also shocked, as she didn’t expect Qin Lu to come out.“Greetings, Sect Leader Lan, Elders! Hey, the three Demon Venerables on the other side, hello too!” Qin Lu said with a smile.

Seeing Qin Lu, the blood-devouring Demon Venerable’s expression instantly changed. That day, they saw with their own eyes that the Demon Emperor had been beaten into fleeing by this young man. Damn, wasn’t this young man in the Holy Maiden Sect? Why is he in the Pill Sect?

“Qin Lu, the Demonic Sect is attacking. I’m afraid our deal…”

“Sect Master Lan, do you need my help? If you want my help, then agree to my two conditions. This is not looting a burning house. Besides, this is a matter between your Pill Sect and the Demonic Sect. I can completely stay out of it.”

“Okay, I agree.” Although they didn’t know to what extent Qin Lu’s cultivation had recovered, he was once able to defeat a demon emperor. His strength was absolutely unquestionable. If he was willing to help, this crisis would definitely be resolved.

“I don’t think you alone have the final say. What do you think, elders of the Pill Sect?”

“If our little friend Qin Lu can help our Pill Sect through this crisis, then we agree to your conditions.” Several elders also responded one after another.

“That’s right. Wouldn’t it have been easier if you said so earlier?” After discussing with the Pill Sect people, Qin Lu turned to look at the Demonic Sect. “Hehe, Demon Venerables, I’ll play with you.” With that, Qin Lu slowly flew toward the three Demon Venerables.

Damn, this guy! “Retreat.” The blood-devouring demon Venerable said it with a depressing expression. He decisively led his people to retreat. As for the other two Demon Venerables, they were also frightened by Qin Lu’s sudden appearance, so they led their people and fled.

“Hey, Demon Venerables, don’t go. It’s not easy for you to come here. Don’t you want to exchange pointers?” Qin Lu shouted.

Seeing so many Demon Venerables flee as soon as they saw Qin Lu, everyone from the Pill Sect was stunned. Was this young man so fierce? The demons were so afraid of him that they fled. And there were even three demon venerables!

“Sister Caidie, am I seeing things? They all fled? They were all scared away by that kid?”

“Dayong, he’s about the same age as you, but did you know that he once defeated a demon emperor head-on?”

“What, he defeated a demon emperor?” Xu Dayong’s hair stood on end. Yesterday, he and Lan Hong went to find trouble with him. Damn, wasn’t that courting death?

“Fortunately, he didn’t bother with you. Otherwise, you would have died long ago.”

“Sister, didn’t he lose his cultivation?”

“That doesn’t mean he can’t cultivate again. Didn’t you see that the three Demon Venerables all decided to retreat once they saw him?”

“Don’t find trouble with him in the future. Otherwise, even Father won’t be able to protect you.”

“Oh.” Lan Hong responded. She secretly glanced at Qin Lu, and her heart was in a mess.

With all the people from the demonic sect fleeing, everyone from the Pill Sect was also dumbfounded. They really didn’t expect Qin Lu’s influence to be so great. If they didn’t know that he was a disciple of the Holy Maiden Sect, they would have thought that Qin Lu had an agreement with the Demon Venerables.
