Di Jiufeng pondered for a while as a thought flashed through her mind. However, she dismissed the idea before it even materialized.
No matter the outcome, that method was not usable. She could not bear to harm her own disciple.
While in this train of thought, Di Jiufeng turned around and glanced at Ning Guang. Her obedient disciple had never looked away; her dark and dull eyes were firmly focused on Di Jiufeng. Trapped under this concentrated gaze, Di Jiufeng only felt like her heart was soaked in a hot spring, warm and comfortable. She couldn’t help but curve up the corner of her lip.
At this moment, she saw a wisp of grey smoke emitted from her disciple. Instantly, Ning Guang gave out a shrill and sad shriek.
“Demonic cultivation?”
“Oh my god, this kid actually cultivated the demonic path!” In an instant, those cultivators that were spectating the show immediately unsheathed their swords. Their expression was solemn as they glared at Ning Guang with hostility.
“How can a righteous sect contain this kind of evil creature. Since she has showed herself today, we have to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!” An extremist directly rushed forward. Without waiting for the Sect Leader’s word, he raised his sword, preparing to kill Ning Guang.
Looking at how the scene unraveled before her, Di Jiufeng’s heart almost stopped.
Her eyes were opened wide and her complexion was pale. Although her brain had not processed it, her body had already automatically sprinted forward.
“Who dares!” Di Jiufeng raised her spiritual sword Hong Shang and adopted a lone and courageous stance in front of Ning Guang. She knew the consequences of her own actions and despite that, she unhesitantly said, “This day, if you all want to hurt my disciple, you’ll have to step over my body. As long as I’m not dead, don’t even think about touching a single stand of her hair!”
She paused after every word, each word contained an intimidating valor that gripped around their hearts.
The current Immortal Jiufeng was like a phoenix bathed in fire, her killing intent dancing wantonly in the air. Before she even performed a sword strike, a chilling glint of the sword’s shadow radiated from her eyes.
“Immortal Jiufeng, your disciple is an evil god. Look at how you protect her, do you want to go along with her evil deeds?”
Di Jiufeng gave a cold laugh, “Go along with her evil deeds? She is my disciple, so shouldn’t I protect her?”
”But…”
“Wait.” Before that cultivator could speak,Yue Qingfeng slowly walked to Ning Guang’s side, the spiritual energy on his fingertip revolving a circle around her body. He frowned and said, “There is no source to this demonic aura. The reason it appeared was not due to the stimulation of our righteous aura, but more like someone placed it on her. Who is so ruthless and vicious as to place it on a ten-year-old child? I plead Sect Leader to investigate clearly!”
He bowed towards the Sect Leader and invited him to inspect.
It was now did the Sect Leader noticed Yue Qingfeng. Filled with surprise, he asked, “You had a breakthrough again?”
Yue Qingfeng nodded, “Yes.”
The Sect Leader was very clear that Yue Qingfeng’s cultivation was very high, however, he was not the strongest. With this breakthrough, he had become the strongest within the Sect just like that. What does this mean? It meant that he had to favour and please Yue Qingfeng, preventing him from defecting to other Sects.
To various Sects, a Deity Transformation cultivator was said to be the backbone of a Sect. The loss of one such cultivator was similar to suffering from a grievous injury.
After receiving the position of the Sect Leader, the Sect Leader put in a ton of effort to raise the Sect to the pinnacle. He had to maintain this and definitely not allow it to deteriorate.
”Breakthrough, it is good that you have had a breakthrough.”
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind. The Sect Leader decided that he had to make Yue Qingfeng stay in the Sword Sect and thus, he would not offend him now. Following his words, the Sect Leader inspected Ning Guang’s body. As expected, despite the demonic aura in her body, there was no source to it. Evidently, someone intentionally planted this demonic aura inside her body.”
Using such an underhand tactic to harm a child, even if the Sect Leader had a mild temperament, he could not help but flare up in anger.
After feeding a healing pill to Ning Guang and with a swing of his sleeves, the Sect Leader coldly bellowed, “Normally, I gave you guys the freedom to do whatever you like and not haggle over every matter. Never would I have thought that you all will turn from bad to worse, using such a lowly tactic! Despite not cultivating the demonic path, what sets you all apart from evil demons if you used it to harm humans! Tell me, who did this!”
Although the Sect Leader was enquiring, all the eyes were already fixed on Qian Sui.
Qian Sui’s heart skipped a beat as he consciously hid his gaze. He had the intention of pointing out that the child was a evil entity, however, not once had he thought of placing the demonic aura in her body. Let’s not talk about his lack of control over the demonic aura, he didn’t even have the courage to do it. But now, this child had been harmed by someone else.
Initially, Qian Sui thought that this matter did not concern him, not until he thought of this morning—
Coincidentally, he saw that Di Jiufeng’s disciple was an evil god and swiftly after that, someone sent her a Pure-Heart Bell that was used to suppress the evil god.
There were too many coincidences, no wonder people would suspect that it was a trap. Qian Sui was already anxious enough and after letting his imagination run wild, his state of mind started to crumble. His eyes darted around while his complexion turned white due to his anxiety.

It was all due to his guilty conscience.
Such a behaviour caused a single thought to flash through their minds.
The Sect Leader was no exception. He face darkened and without sparing Qian Sui a second glance, he walked towards Di Jiufeng and said, “Jiufeng, tell me exactly why Qian Sui wants to kill you. If he really did any despicable and shady practices, I will punish him severely!”
