Master’s Plan to Revitalize the Demon Sect with Beautiful Girls - Chapter 38



Chapter 38: The Voice of the Dying

“The elimination round of the rookie competition! Ends here!”

“The sixteen wooden plaques on this rack are the contestants for tomorrow’s advancement round!”

“Tomorrow, is the real battle of dragons and tigers!”

And on the wooden plaque swaying in the wind, Lin Qingxue’s name was prominently displayed.

Watching the setting sun, the crowd gradually dispersing.

The entire competition venue gradually became deserted, in stark contrast to the bustling scene during the day.

At this moment, Lin Qingxue felt a very complex emotion in her heart.

She had passed today’s brutal elimination round, becoming one of the sixteen cultivators.

But her victory was not easy, it even greatly shook her confidence in her own victory.

She had won several matches by luck, with her opponent’s sword almost touching her throat.

Just a step away, just one step, and she would have been the loser.

What she wanted was an absolute victory, to prove that she was strong enough.

But such a lucky way of winning made her greatly doubt her own strength.

Did she really have the strength to advance to the top sixteen, or was she just lucky?

She touched her face, even though she had washed it many times, she still felt her opponent’s blood on it.

Strength, she couldn’t be so weak, she wanted the kind of overwhelming strength like that of the witch.

“What am I thinking!? That’s a witch!” Lin Qingxue shivered, she had accidentally taken Zhishi as a role model.

She couldn’t help it, the scene of Zhishi breaking her sword with her fingers had left too strong an impression.

She looked at the wooden plaques, besides her, two people from Tianyan Sect had also entered the top sixteen.

If she remembered correctly, there were only three people in Tianyan Sect, and two of them were participating in the competition.

It was truly unbelievable that they all made it to the qualifying round.

It was as if they were telling the entire White City that the once-declined Tianyan Sect was making a comeback.

No, what comeback? The fact that there were only three people in Tianyan Sect now could not be changed.

No matter how good their results were, the fact that Tianyan Sect lacked cultivation resources could not be changed.

“But… so strong.” Lin Qingxue subconsciously muttered to herself.

In He Youzhou’s case, he often won by luck, just like her, so she didn’t think much of it.

But Yulan was different. She won too easily, with strength that a newly entered Foundation Establishment cultivator shouldn’t have.

Moreover, as someone who had pursued Yulan, Lin Qingxue knew very well that she had no cultivation not long ago.

In less than a month, she had gone from an ordinary person to surpassing the Qi Refining stage and directly reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. This talent could no longer be described as monstrous.

“No! I am a righteous person. I must take someone like Senior Brother as my role model!” She gently patted her cheeks and murmured.

But as soon as she mentioned Senior Brother, she couldn’t help but recall the horrifying scene from that night.

Although it was likely an illusion, that scene was really frightening.

“How could Senior Brother grow another head for no reason?” She always thought that she had scared herself that night.

Senior Brother wasn’t practicing any evil cultivation techniques, so his body shouldn’t have such abnormalities.

If Senior Brother had secretly practiced evil ways, not to mention other elders, Elder Wan, as Senior Brother’s father, would have seen it at a glance.

And speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Lin Qingxue suddenly saw Wan Ruicai walking past her.

Although Wan Ruicai was now wrapped in some cloth, Lin Qingxue could still recognize him.

Regardless, Wan Ruicai had always been the Senior Brother who took care of her since she joined the sect.

Having seen this figure for over ten years, it was hard not to recognize Wan Ruicai.

“Senior Brother?” She tried calling out.

“Ah, Junior Sister Lin.” Wan Ruicai was stunned and stopped in his tracks.

He came to the competition venue to check on Yulan’s situation.

If he had the chance, he would definitely not let Yulan go.

Unfortunately, Wan Ruicai had no chance, as Yulan kept winning until the qualifying round.

The reason he couldn’t make a move now was exactly the same as the old man with the white beard—he couldn’t let the contestants disappear for no reason.

Those who were supposed to continue the competition suddenly vanished. How could that not attract an investigation?

“I almost didn’t recognize it was you, Senior Brother.” Lin Qingxue said embarrassedly.

“I was the one being rude, not noticing you.” Wan Ruicai chuckled dryly.

Wan Ruicai had seen Lin Qingxue long ago, but he just didn’t want to greet her, so he walked past her directly.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingxue recognized him directly and greeted him.

Wan Ruicai, in his current state, was extremely reluctant to interact with people. Unfortunately, at this point, he could only respond to Lin Qingxue with a stiff upper lip.

“Senior brother, why are you here?” Lin Qingxue asked curiously.

“In the morning, we non-participants weren’t allowed to enter, right?” Wan Ruicai said, “I thought now that the competition is over, I could take a look at what this place is like.”

He habitually opened his folding fan to cover his face, “But junior sister, why aren’t you resting? What are you doing here?”

“I… I was thinking about something.” Lin Qingxue said embarrassedly, “I was wondering if I have the qualification to enter the top sixteen.”

“If you don’t have the qualification, then who else would?” Wan Ruicai said with a smile, “Be confident.”

“Alright, you go rest now. I still want to take a walk around here.”

“Then I’ll accompany you, senior brother?”

“No, no need. You, as one of the top sixteen, should rest more and strive to win first place to bring glory to Qingshan Sect.”

“Senior brother, how could I have that ability…”

Wan Ruicai turned and left, saying before he walked away, “You do. Don’t underestimate yourself.”

“Senior brother? Senior brother!” Lin Qingxue wanted to call Wan Ruicai back, but he didn’t stop.

“Yes, I need to be confident. It’s rare for Senior Brother Wan to have such high hopes for me.” Lin Qingxue clenched her fist.

She was the only one from Qingshan Sect in the top sixteen. If she didn’t strive, who else could?

“Thank you, senior brother!” She shouted loudly at Wan Ruicai’s back, “Qingxue will definitely not let you down!”

However, Wan Ruicai didn’t hear Lin Qingxue’s words because he had already left, not wanting to continue entangling with her.

Wan Ruicai arrived at the ring where Youlan had competed and started examining it, “Such unique techniques, and even the skills are so peculiar.”

“How does she control her bloodthirst?” Wan Ruicai wanted to know how Youlan managed her bloodthirst.

Because he was desperately hoping someone could help him solve his mutation.

“Ah… ah… ah…” A dying groan came from Wan Ruicai’s neck.

Wan Ruicai pressed his neck forcefully in horror and looked around.

No one… great.
