Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 112 Why are you so disgusting to me?

Just as the group was deep in thought, Shen Youqing received news about the camellia tree.

"Something went to the Fox Fairy Temple."

Just as expected, something really did go to the Fox Fairy Temple.

The clear and melodious voice pulled them out of their thoughts.

“Let’s go take a look,” Xie Changyan said to Jiang Chenying. “We need someone here.”

The ghost babies in the abandoned baby tower are still crawling out, and the situation could get out of control at any moment. Someone has to stay here just in case.

Jiang Chenying responded.

Thinking that the mountains and forests would be more dangerous at night than during the day, Jiang Chenying instructed, "The three of you must be careful in everything you do."

"You think you can leave? Dream on!"

A sharp, chilling female voice echoed across the wilderness.

The next second, thick fog filled the surroundings, and a strange fragrance wafted over.

Shen Youqing felt like sneezing, but she held it in and then twitched her nose.

Amidst the exotic fragrance, there was a pungent, foxy odor.

"Oh no, it's poisonous!" Before Jiang Chenying could finish speaking, she collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.

Seeing this, Shen Youqing quickly used his skills to weave through flowers and trees, reached out and grabbed Jiang Chenying by the back of his collar to prevent him from falling face down.

Xiao Youqi quickly caught Chi Guyuan and Jing Liang, while Xie Changyan supported Qi Bumian.

"clang--"

Jiang Chenying, who had been placed on the ground, struggled to lift her head and then could vaguely see Shen Youqing's figure in the thick fog.

"I'll leave this to you." With that, Xie Changyan drew his sword and rushed over to help Shen Youqing.

Xiao Youqi looked at the several disciples who had been poisoned and took out an antidote pill, feeding each of them one.

Having calmed down a bit, Jing Liang looked at Xiao Youqi, who seemed completely unharmed, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How come you're alright?"

Xiao Youqi said coldly, "I took the antidote pill before."

Jing Liang looked like she suddenly understood.

Having recovered somewhat, Jiang Chenying drew her longsword and charged forward.

Fortunately, these three were quick-witted and had taken the antidote beforehand, otherwise they would have been wiped out.

With Jiang Chenying joining, Shen Youqing stepped back.

But... seeing the ghost baby climb onto her lap again, her lips twitched slightly.

So you've just become dependent on her like this?
"boom--"

Shen Youqing dodged, and a slender and charming woman came crashing down from where he had been standing.

This woman looks exactly like the fox demon from before.

They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and this fox demon is no less adept at it.

Xie Changyan and Jiang Chenying emerged from the thick fog, long swords in hand, their faces cold and sharp.

"Second Junior Brother and Young Master Xiao will handle the aftermath here. I'll go to the Fox Fairy Temple with Shen Youqing," Jiang Chenying said.

The number of ghost babies here is terrifying, and given the current unclear situation, the number of people remaining here can only increase, not decrease.

At this critical moment, Shen Youqing wouldn't cause any trouble; she simply and readily agreed.

Xie Changyan nodded.

Shen Youqing reached out and pulled the ghost baby off his leg and threw it to Chi Guyuan. Then he and Jiang Chenying rushed into the still thick fog and headed to the Fox Fairy Temple in the back mountain.

Fox Fairy Temple.

The people trapped by the binding array were unable to move, while the camellia trees nearby swayed their branches and leaves in the evening breeze. The two walked quickly, and when they arrived at the Fox Fairy Temple, the people were still inside the binding array.

Seeing an old acquaintance inside the binding array, Shen Youqing was not surprised at all, "Village Chief Zhang."

Before the two arrived, Village Chief Zhang had just broken through one binding array, but in the blink of an eye, another binding array appeared.

Jiang Chenying looked at the group of people inside the binding array with a sharp, cold gaze.

Village Chief Zhang was clearly surprised that these two people would come looking for him like this.

That useless piece of trash!

Surprisingly, they couldn't trap these meddlesome cultivators!
Because the surrounding light was rather dim, Shen Youqing took out a luminous pearl for illumination.

There were quite a few people who came to the Fox Fairy Temple with Village Chief Zhang, including several unfamiliar burly men, as well as the women and girls he had seen at Village Chief Zhang's house during the day.

"Village Chief Zhang, tell me, why do you people not have spiritual roots?" Shen Youqing said coldly, arms crossed.

The rather taciturn Jiang Chenying looked around, and after confirming that there was no potential danger, she turned her gaze back to Village Chief Zhang and his group.

Village Chief Zhang gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Shen Youqing.

That wretched woman, when the time comes, she'll definitely be the first one to be used to feed the new Fox Fairy!

"You sent these cultivators here not to exorcise demons, but to raise them, right?" Shen Youqing said as he instructed the camellia tree to begin its work.

The sharp, thorn-like roots grew wildly, instantly piercing through Village Chief Zhang's body. There were many wounds, but none were fatal, causing him to scream in agony.

A slight ripple appeared in Jiang Chenying's eyes.

Using cultivators to raise fox demons? Have they gone so far as to be utterly depraved?

“Too many babies in Qiuzi Village have died unnaturally, and the ghost infants are becoming increasingly powerful. You are afraid that the ghost infants will start killing people because of their deep resentment, so you can only place your hopes on the fox demon.” As Shen Youqing finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ghost infant that had climbed onto his lap again.

That persistent little ghost.

Jiang Chenying glanced at the seemingly harmless ghost infant and then refrained from making a move.

Village Chief Zhang clenched his teeth and remained silent, only glaring fiercely at Shen Youqing with greed, covetousness, and even jealousy in his eyes.

Looking into Village Chief Zhang's eyes, Jiang Chenying suddenly understood.

“They covet you because you are a cultivator, and they want you to give birth to a child with spiritual roots.” Before Jiang Chenying could finish speaking, Shen Youqing showed a look of disgust and nausea.

"At the same time, they are also jealous that you have spiritual roots."

Shen Youqing bowed to Jiang Chenying, "I beg you! Can you please continue to keep quiet? My crime doesn't deserve to die, why are you disgusting me like this!"

You committed murder and arson in your past life, and now you're doing this disgusting task!
The more I think about it, the more disgusted I feel!
Can we burn this village down?
"To be precise, it doesn't necessarily have to be you. They covet any female cultivator." Jiang Chenying looked at the village chief's unwilling expression, her voice growing colder. "The petition for help is just a ploy to lure female cultivators to satisfy their filthy desires."

At this point, Jiang Chenying made a bold guess, "Perhaps Qiu Zi Village has already set up something specifically for female cultivators, like that strange fragrance from before."

That strange fragrance can make people lose their strength and unable to mobilize their spiritual power.

In that situation, it would have been far too easy for several burly men to do something to the female nun who was unable to resist.

"Jiang Chenying, all I did was draw a stack of turtle-bastard talismans! Did you have to be so disgusting and retaliate against me like this?!" Shen Youqing said with disgust and annoyance, "Did you have to force me to set fire to the village?"

Jiang Chenying thought about it carefully for a moment and then said, "It's not impossible."

Shen Youqing: ?

crazy!

Jiang Chenying has gone completely mad!
Ignoring Shen Youqing's look of utter disbelief, Jiang Chenying turned to Village Chief Zhang and his group.

The sins are clear, so why don't we kill them?
"It's been almost fifteen years since a child was born in Qiuzi Village," a timid, small voice suddenly rang out.

Upon receiving Shen Youqing's signal, the roots of the camellia tree quickly silenced Village Chief Zhang.

“Qiuzi Village used to have spiritual energy, and the villagers all had spiritual roots, although they were only the lowest-grade, low-level spiritual roots.” The woman stared straight at Shen Youqing, whose face was youthful and beautiful, ignoring the fierce gaze of Village Chief Zhang for the first time.

"About thirty or fifty years ago, the spiritual power of Qiuzi Village disappeared overnight, and everyone's spiritual roots began to disappear one after another. Children born after that also had no spiritual roots."
