Chapter 737 The Emergence of Heretical Cultivators
"Yes, Master!"

Liao Ziqian thought this was even better, as Lili could keep him company and talk to him. The feeling of being trapped in the illusion was too terrible, so without saying a word, he picked up Lili and stepped onto the first step.

Xun Kun concealed himself in the shadows, not wanting Liao Ziqian to escape his sight. If he were kidnapped by evil cultivators again, he would be too embarrassed to ask Ran Xi for help.

Liao Ziqian carried the drowsy Lili forward. Fortunately, it was just climbing stairs, and no illusions appeared during the process, which made Liao Ziqian feel much more relaxed.

However, Lili in his arms grew heavier and heavier. After an hour and a half, his legs began to weaken and his breathing became rapid. After all, she was a five-year-old child and was still somewhat weak before she had undergone body tempering.

During this time, Liao Ziqian also encountered a few disciples who had come down the mountain. These disciples all knew that Liao Ziqian was a newly accepted disciple of Venerable Xunkun, and they all asked him inquiries politely. When they learned that it was a test from the Venerable, they all offered a few words of encouragement before going about their own business.

Only one female disciple with an ordinary appearance spoke the most with Liao Ziqian, and said with an envious look:
"Senior Brother Ziqian, you're really lucky. You joined the sect later than us, yet your cultivation speed is so fast. I've been in the sect for three years and I've only reached the third level of Qi Refining, but I can't see your cultivation level. What level of Qi Refining are you at now?"

Liao Ziqian glanced at the other person and said:

"Sixth floor."

"Wow, that's amazing! You started cultivating before you even joined the sect?"

"."

Liao Ziqian didn't want to talk.

Seeing that Liao Ziqian was unwilling to say more, the female disciple turned her gaze to Lili in his arms and said with a look of surprise:

"Is this your magical pet? What's its name? It's so beautiful, can I touch it?"

Without waiting for Liao Ziqian's agreement, she stretched out her hand, aiming at Lili's head. The next moment, something unexpected happened. Lili, which had been keeping its eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and as the female disciple reached out, its claws lashed out.

"Ah!" The scream startled Ruofeng and his group, who had just entered Xuanyuan Peak.

When Yu Tang Ruofeng arrived at the scene, he saw Xun Kun standing next to his junior disciple. Liao Ziqian glared angrily at another female disciple who was lying on the ground. The other woman was emanating a sinister aura that Liao Ziqian could see without getting close, which meant that Xun Kun had broken through her disguise.

"Xun Kun, what happened?"

Ruofeng flashed to Xunkun's side and asked.

“I was testing Ziqian, making him walk to the top of the mountain without using any magic. This female disciple deliberately approached Ziqian and even tried to attack him. She was injured after being countered by Ranxi’s spirit pet, which exposed her identity as an evil cultivator.”

Xun Kun explained the whole story in just a few words.

After hearing this, Ruofeng glanced at Lili, who was wagging her tail, and then waved to the people of the Demon Flame Hall. Immediately, someone took the unconscious female disciple away.

Li Li glanced lazily at Yu Tang Ruofeng. This female cultivator's soul was very pure; she was a genuine person. Her cold face was just a disguise.

When Yu Tang Ruofeng looked at Li Li, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. Then he said to Xun Kun:

"The disciples of the Demon Flame Hall want to investigate Xuanyuan Peak, and they hope you can assist them."

Xun Kun nodded in agreement, then said to Liao Ziqian:

"Ziqian, your test continues."

"Yes, Master."

After the incident with the female cultivator, Liao Ziqian didn't dare to delay. Instead, he sped up and tightened his grip on Lili's arm.

Xun Kun remained hidden and followed. Ruo Feng waved for the disciples of the Demon Flame Hall to enter Xuanyuan Peak, while she stayed by Xun Kun's side and said:

"That fifth-tier spirit beast belongs to Fellow Daoist Ranxi."

Although it was a question, it was stated as a statement.

"Yes, that's Ranxi's spirit pet. Ziqian likes it very much, so he asked Ranxi to let Lili accompany him for two days." Xunkun didn't say anything more.

Ruofeng's gaze remained fixed on Lili. She felt that this little panda was somewhat special, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Just then, a disciple appeared in front of Liao Ziqian in a flash, and the next instant, a black ball of light flew out from between his eyebrows and shot towards Liao Ziqian's eyebrows.

Xun Kun and Ruo Feng moved at the same time, but Li Li reacted even faster. Li Li's sharp claws directly split the soul ball into four, successfully preventing the opponent from possessing Liao Ziqian.

The demonic fire of Xun Kun had already enveloped the evil soul that had been split into four parts. Two breaths later, not even a trace of it remained. At this moment, the cultivator in front of Liao Ziqian collapsed, already lifeless.

Liao Ziqian was startled and instinctively channeled his magic, flashing to Xun Kun's side. He even patted Li Li's head and asked:
"Lili, are you alright? Were you scared?"

Lili blinked, reverting to her previous languid state, and continued to snuggle in Liao Ziqian's arms as if nothing had happened.

Ruofeng spoke up:

"Lili is a fifth-tier spirit beast; it will be fine even if something happens to you."

Although it was the truth, Liao Ziqian didn't quite like hearing it.

At this moment, disciples from the Demon Flame Hall came to collect the body of the disciple who had tried to possess Liao Ziqian, hoping to find any clues on him.

Lili, who had been resting with his eyes closed, glanced at Ruofeng because of his words. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two disciples who had come to collect the corpses. The next moment, he swung his claws out again, targeting one of the disciples from the Demon Flame Hall.

Because Li Li's attack was so sudden, Ruo Feng didn't have time to stop it. Xun Kun knew Li Li's abilities and didn't stop her at all. So Li Li's attack landed precisely on one of the disciples. The next moment, a wail came from the disciple's mouth, accompanied by waves of evil energy that could not be concealed.

Ruofeng's already cold face became even more frosty. She swung out a black rope, binding the disciple, and then gave orders to the somewhat stunned Demon Flame Hall disciples standing to the side:
"Summon Tuoyu to see me."

"Yes, elder."

If the disciples of the Demon Flame Hall still didn't understand what was happening, they would truly be fools. He immediately suppressed his surprised expression and flashed away from Xuanyuan Peak.

Liao Ziqian hugged Lili tightly and hid behind Xun Kun. He hadn't expected there to be so many bad guys here.

Ruofeng looked at Xunkun, raised an eyebrow, and transmitted his voice:

"May I borrow Lili for a moment?"

“I am not Lili’s master. You should ask Ranxi.”

Ruofeng nodded, said nothing, and vanished from their sight in an instant.

Liao Ziqian then peeked out, touched Lili with lingering fear, and asked softly:

"Master, Elder Ruofeng won't try to steal Lili, will he?"

"She won't."

After saying that, he turned to Liao Ziqian and said:

"There's still half the journey left, continue."

"Yes."

This was the second time Liao Ziqian had been interrupted, but he seemed to have gotten used to it and continued towards the top of the mountain with Lili in his arms.

Yunxi was currently recording messages on a jade slip, preparing to exchange information with Hanyang after the Heavenly Demon Palace's protective array was activated. She wondered how much information Hanyang had obtained about the Western Realm.

Just then, the array in the courtyard was activated again. She waved her sleeve to open it and saw that it was Yu Tang Ruofeng who had entered. She stood up and said:
"Elder Ruofeng, what brings you here in person?"
