Chapter 996_1

One of the female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it! How is the Sect Master trapped like this? It seems she can't move at all!"

Another Elder, with sharp eyes, immediately recognized the massive formation under Zhou Qingruo's feet and said coldly, "It's the formation under the Sect Master's feet. Even from a distance, it exudes a repulsive aura. It must be the work of those demon cultivators!"

"Right! As long as we kill them, this formation should become ineffective!"

"There's no time to waste, we must act quickly! Otherwise, the Sect Master will be in danger!"

After these words, they all released the spirit force fluctuations of the Daluo Jinxian Realm, looking at the demon cultivators ahead with ill intent…

Hearing these words, the demon cultivators' cheeks revealed a mocking smile…

"Heh, slay us? Such bold words, have you forgotten who controlled you before?"

"As puppets, you should have the awareness of puppets. You still want to attack your masters; you're simply seeking death!"

"It's been a long time since I've tasted the blood of Daluo Jinxian Realm powerhouses. If it weren't for Qin Yumo telling us to spare your lives, do you really think you could have survived until now?"

One of the Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect interrupted coldly, "Enough talk, let's attack together!"

After blurting this out, the three female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect charged at the demon cultivators with intense murderous intent…

"Heavenly Ranked Superior Martial Technique, Blood Wave!!"

"Heaven-grade Medium Martial Skill, Bloodthirsty Tyrant Blade!!"

"Heavenly Ranked Superior Martial Technique, Blood Lotus Nine Palace Steps!!"

For a time, they fought the demon cultivators to a standstill…

Meanwhile, the only Elder who stayed behind looked at Xu Sheng with her beautiful eyes and said somberly, "Xu Sheng, I must trouble you to contain them at the Sect Master's side. Even though it means opposing the Immortal Monarch Realm... please!"

After finishing her sentence, she did not wait for Xu Sheng's response and charged ahead…

Xu Sheng's mouth twitched a few times, "Wait... against the Immortal Monarch Realm, have you overestimated me?"

Golden Immortal Realm against the Immortal Monarch Realm, although it's only a difference of two Great Realms, the gap in strength is like a chasm!!

With this thought, he could only look towards the center of the field, where Zhou Qingruo and Qin Yumo stood…

…

Zhou Qingruo, suppressed by the weird formation, had most of her spiritual power devoured and couldn't even summon the strength to struggle…

Her pair of icy blue eyes looked at Qin Yumo before her and thought, "Damn it! As long as these demon cultivators are alive, the formation won't disappear, will it?"

She wanted to provoke Qin Yumo with her words, hoping that in his rage, he might destroy the formation, but now it seemed unlikely!

Qin Yumo, on the other hand, had already noticed this, and he sneered, "Sect Master, spare me your intentions. I'm very aware of what you're thinking. You simply want to provoke me into breaking the formation, right?"

"But unfortunately, I have all the patience right now. Once your spiritual power is completely devoured, it will be your time to fall."

Without spiritual power, I can easily capture her soul and prevent it from escaping this place!

After all, reaching the Immortal Monarch Realm makes the soul incredibly formidable, and finding someone to possess is extremely easy!

Having her thoughts read, Zhou Qingruo's expression remained unafraid, and she said coldly, "I've said it before, do not call me Sect Master! You are not worthy!"

Qin Yumo responded indifferently, "Sect Master, you might as well wail to your heart's content. No matter what, after today, the Blood Lotus Sect will forever have me as Sect Master. You should rest in peace. Perhaps you'll even leave behind a good reputation."

After her words fell, she felt as if she were being watched and turned her head towards a more concealed direction, "Hmm??"

In an instant, her gaze met with Xu Sheng's...

When she saw the handsome cheeks of the latter, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise...

Apart from those demon cultivators, there were actually men in the Blood Lotus Sect??

And such a top-grade one at that! It would probably be hard to find such a man throughout the entire Central State!

Zhou Qingruo, who was bound by the formation, also saw this scene and couldn't help exclaiming, "Xu Sheng!! Quick, run away!"

She was very aware of Qin Yumo's character, she would definitely not let Xu Sheng off easily!!

Moreover, this was the affair of their Blood Lotus Sect, and she didn't want him to get involved!

Hearing Zhou Qingruo's exclamation, Xu Sheng did not immediately leave, but still looked at them with a grave gaze...

Leaving now would not be in line with his character...

After glancing at Xu Sheng and then at Zhou Qingruo, Qin Yumo seemed to have caught some kind of leverage and sneered, "I never thought that even the Sect Master herself would have a male pet by her side, and such a handsome one too. Despite being the former Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, you have personally broken the very rules you set!"

Suddenly, her tone changed, and she said coldly, "Then, let's make this man who has a special relationship with you, my puppet!!"

After her words fell, she no longer paid attention to Zhou Qingruo and immediately rushed towards Xu Sheng with extreme speed...

Zhou Qingruo, who once was his teacher, had countless suitors as well but regarded none of them. That's why she established the Blood Lotus Sect rule forbidding the entrance of men!

And now, there was such a man who was so close to her; their relationship obviously couldn't be simple!!

Facing the assault of Qin Yumo, Xu Sheng immediately executed body movement martial techniques, narrowly dodging her palm...

Seeing that she hadn't caught Xu Sheng's neck, Qin Yumo expressed her surprise, "Oh? Quite talented, aren't we? However... your strength isn't much to speak of!"

She really didn't understand why such a man could attract Zhou Qingruo. Was it just because he was handsome??

Xu Sheng's heartbeat quickened, and he looked at Qin, "Trying to kill your own teacher, isn't that in bad taste?"

Qin Yumo raised an eyebrow, surprised, "Oh?? You care so much about the life and death of your teacher, could it be that you are interested in her??"

Xu Sheng coldly replied, "Hmm, I'm much more fond of her than of you."

Qin Yumo licked her sensual thin lips, tempting, "How about this, then? You have a fair bit of charm about you; why not choose to become my slave? If you agree, I won't kill her,"

"and I will even cripple her cultivation level for you, letting you play with her body at your leisure. How about that?!"

Zhou Qingruo, hearing these words on the other side, felt her world spin...

Her own former disciple, not only had connections with demon cultivators but now even dared to utter such atrocious words...

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng's eyebrows imperceptibly furrowed...

He replied calmly, "As a disciple, you truly are trash to the extreme."

Qin Yumo's face darkened, "Merely an ant, so eager to seek death??"

In an instant, a massive pressure surged towards Xu Sheng...
