Chapter 136: Life Difficulty
It had been a long time since Demon Lord Feng Xiao left, but Lin Qingqing was still sitting on the ground in a miserable state. All she could think of was the ferocious face of the other party strangling her neck. Her heart was pounding. The fear in her heart had not been completely forgotten because of the other party's departure, but instead became even stronger and deeper.
These thoughts lingered in her mind. If he wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as crushing an ant to death. However, he didn't kill her today just because he couldn't see blood. Lin Qingqing found this reason ridiculous. Is this the kind of arbitrary and ruthless demon cultivator who does what he wants?
She had originally planned to return to the Earth Spiritual Sect, but when she thought about her cultivation level, which had only reached the initial stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage and was still one step away from the middle stage, she was unwilling to go back.
Besides, there is still more than half a year before the martial arts competition, so why not use this half year to continue training? Maybe you can enter the middle stage of foundation building naturally, and then you won't have to worry about getting a place in the martial arts competition to go to the world of cultivation.
She fell into deep thought like this, and only came to her senses when it gradually darkened.
"Ah! Is it so late already?" she murmured to herself.
Afterwards, she immediately packed up her belongings and left. If the Demon Lord returned the same way, her life would be in danger.
However, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Lin Qingqing decided to stay in Black Demon Ridge for training for the next six months and just avoid the area near the nest.
She thought and acted at the same time, without any hesitation. This time she was much more cautious and no longer acted rashly. She set up defenses within a hundred miles, so that she would know if a stranger approached. After all, there would be no such boring reason to spare her life next time.
In a blink of an eye, half a year passed, and Lin Qingqing herself arrived at the venue of the martial arts competition - Los Angeles Square.
Luocheng Square is located at the foot of the Tianmen Sect, and is built on the hillside of Luocheng. Looking around, the surrounding environment is beautiful, and you can even see the colorful sea of clouds in the afterglow of the sunset. Under the colorful sea of clouds, Lin Qingqing saw a graceful figure.
She happily ran towards that person, opened her mouth, and shouted across the air: "Senior Sister!"
The man paused, then slowly turned around, and what came into view was a face that was beyond recognition.
"Ahhhh!" Lin Qingqing was so frightened that she screamed.
……
With her legs hanging in the air for a while, Lin Qingqing woke up from her dream and suddenly opened her eyes.
"Awake?" A gentle male voice sounded in her ears.
"Senior?" Lin Qingqing looked carefully and realized that she had recognized the wrong person, so she quickly changed her words, "It's Senior Brother."
"Very disappointed?" Rong Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"What did I say just now, Senior Brother?" Lin Qingqing immediately pretended nothing had happened.
Rong Zhao turned his head and glanced at her without saying anything.
Afterwards, Lin Qingqing, who had completely woken up, noticed something was wrong with her body and asked in surprise, "Big Brother, why am I with you?"
"Guess?" Rong Zhao asked back.
Lin Qingqing carefully recalled what had happened in the past few days. Touching scenes appeared in her mind one after another, and she couldn't help feeling sad.
"What exactly happened that day?" Rong Zhao saw that she was absent-minded and asked tentatively.
Suddenly, Lin Qingqing raised her hand and nervously grabbed Rong Zhao's elbow, saying, "Oh no! A demon cultivator has appeared in the Tian'en Secret Realm! Senior Brother, please inform the other disciples of the Tianjian Sect and tell them to avoid him as much as possible. He is coming with great force and has bad intentions."
Rong Zhao put his hand on hers, shook his head, and said regretfully: "I'm afraid not. I got separated from the other disciples. However, on the first day of entering the Tian'en Secret Realm, I encountered a demon cultivator."
Lin Qingqing was so surprised that she inadvertently retracted her hand and asked, "How did Senior Brother escape from danger?"
Seeing her little action, he responded somewhat unhappily: "With my strength, do I still need to escape danger? Once the long sword is out, it is invincible."
Lin Qingqing smiled awkwardly. That was true. The eldest senior brother was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage and was only one step away from forming a baby.
"As expected of you, you're the eldest senior brother! You're so steady!" She smiled and didn't forget to flatter Rong Zhao.
"So you encountered a demon cultivator?" Rong Zhao asked back.
Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment. It seemed that her attempt to divert her attention had failed, so she could only droop her ears and responded.
"Old acquaintance?"
She froze again, somewhat surprised at Rong Zhao's sharpness. Under his gaze, she nodded silently.
"Although the path of immortality and the path of evil are different, they lead to the same destination. There is no absolute right way for either." Rong Zhao spoke lightly, as if to comfort her.
It was the first time that Lin Qingqing heard Rong Zhao's views on the ways of immortals and demons. She couldn't help but prick up her ears with curiosity and listened quietly.
"There are also those who are not upright in the immortal way, and there are also those who are loyal in the devil way. We can never judge whether a cultivator is good or evil based on whether he is an immortal or a devil."
Lin Qingqing's mind couldn't help but emerge with Li Yingxiang's hypocritical face and her senior sister's resolute decision to abandon the immortal and join the devil. Although she didn't understand their behavior, the eldest brother's words made her suddenly enlightened.
"Big Brother, do you mean that not all demon cultivators are evil cultivators that everyone wants to kill?"
"The world of cultivation is filled with countless dangers. Whether it is the path of immortals or the path of demons, there are always cruel, selfish people. Killing people for treasures and harboring resentment are commonplace. There are also people who practice cruel and evil skills. All of them deserve to be despised." Rong Zhao explained indifferently.
