Mortal: Fellow Daoist! May I borrow your essence for a moment?

"Miss Yan'er, is there anything else you would like to instruct me on?"

Li Feiyu had a bad feeling.

"Fellow Daoist Han Li."

Yan Ruyan frowned: "The technique you used to kill the two protectors of the Ye family just now was a demonic cultivation method."

As she looked at the corpse of Elder Shui Huo and slowly spoke, everyone's expression changed.

Li Feiyu frowned, realizing what was happening.

Elder Liu looked at the two corpses thoughtfully.

Upon closer inspection, he recalled the demonic energy emanating from Li Feiyu's body when he had previously used his internal energy.

He naturally understood that the cultivation method he practiced was a demonic art.

But so what?

Behind this "Han Li" stands a Core Formation True Monarch.

If that's the case, does it matter whether he's a righteous demon or a demon?

Although Yan Family Fortress is the number one immortal cultivation family in Yue Kingdom.

But surely it's not worth offending a Core Formation True Monarch for the sake of a small family like the Ye family.

In particular, this Core Formation True Monarch might also be a member of the demonic path.

"Miss, although young friend Han Li killed members of the Ye family, he had his reasons."

"It would be best if we didn't interfere," he advised, bowing slightly.

But Yan Ruyan, her brows furrowed, continued to press for answers:

"Fellow Daoist Han Li, I'm asking you a question. The technique you used to kill people just now was a demonic technique."

"That's right!"

"Even though two elders of my Ye family were killed by this scoundrel using demonic techniques."

"If it weren't for Miss Yan'er and Elder Liu's timely intervention..."

"I'm afraid the entire Qin Ye Ling region will be ravaged by this evil scoundrel!"

Ye Hui's heartbroken words made Yan Ruyan's expression even more solemn.

"Fellow Daoist Han Li, please answer."

"Otherwise, you might not be able to leave Qinye Ridge today."

Although Yan Ruyan spoke gently, a rune appeared in her hand.

This is a talisman crafted by a Core Formation cultivator from Yan Family Fortress.

Its power far surpasses that of all other magical artifacts.

"Miss Yan'er, the cultivation method I practice is either righteous or demonic. Does that matter?"

Li Feiyu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was almost cursing.

Yan Ruyan, that little vixen, pressed him to reveal whether he was a true demon.

However, the Yan family originated from the demonic path and was a branch of the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Before long, she herself and even the entire Yan family will return to the demonic path.

What exactly does this little vixen mean by bringing up his martial arts techniques now?

"So, Fellow Daoist Han Li admits that he cultivates demonic techniques."

"And that's how they killed two elders of the Ye family."

A deathly pallor appeared on Yan Ruyan's exquisite face.

But she was aggressive, and the talisman in her hand began to glow.

"Miss!" Elder Liu wanted to say something more.

But Yan Ruyan's eyes were bright, and she spoke with great seriousness:

"The righteous and the evil cannot coexist. It is the duty of us cultivators to eliminate evil and protect the righteous path."

"Han Li, you are not leaving today!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Liu was dumbfounded, and Li Feiyu was also slightly lost in thought.

But he immediately understood.

Most of the seven major sects in Yue Kingdom originated from the demonic path.

Just as the Hidden Moon Sect is to the Joyful Union Sect, and the Spirit Beast Mountain is to the Spirit Control Sect.

After breaking away from the demonic path and establishing himself as the ruler of Yue.

In order to promote their legitimacy.

The seven factions began spreading statements in the Yue Kingdom such as "good and evil cannot coexist."

Although these remarks are nothing more than jokes to fool those at the top.

However, as time went on, many cultivators in the Yue Kingdom began to believe it.

For example, the disciples under Li Huayuan of Huangfeng Valley took it upon themselves to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path.

Most of these Huangfeng Valley disciples, who are dedicated to upholding the Dao, come from relatively good backgrounds and are almost all members of powerful families.

They are both talented and come from wealthy families.

Unlike lower-level cultivators, they don't need to struggle for resources out of necessity.

Therefore, they are often naive to the ways of the world but have strong moral aspirations.

Exorcising demons and upholding justice naturally became their belief.

Yan Ruyan, who was standing in front of Li Feiyu, was also this type of person.

She grew up in Yanjiabao and was a genius with a heavenly spiritual root.

Spirit stones, cultivation techniques, and talismans are all readily available.

In addition, they were too young and were overprotected by their parents.

They had no idea how cruel the cultivation world was.

In this situation, even if she is quite intelligent, she is limited by her upbringing.

Naturally, one would take the idea of ​​eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path as their own.

Now, Li Feiyu is practicing demonic arts and wreaking havoc in the Ye family.

Yan Ruyan naturally wouldn't allow him to leave unscathed.

If she were older, she might have a different perspective.

But who can blame her when she's not even twenty yet, and is at the most passionate and impulsive time of her life?

This is not to say that the act of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous is inherently wrong.

Rather, the cultivation world is inherently complex and cruel.

Judging likes and dislikes solely by martial arts techniques is merely the passion or foolishness of young people!

Yan Ruyan is actually considered quite good.

After all, her personality is one of going with the flow, being submissive, and lacking in assertiveness.

If Li Feiyu had encountered Han Li's senior brothers and sisters from Huangfeng Valley...

In the heat of the moment, they would probably have already started fighting and killing, and wouldn't have asked any questions.

Rationally speaking, Li Feiyu actually had a certain fondness for these simple-minded disciples of major sects.

After all, who hasn't had a passionate moment?

But some people, after their passionate moments, will remember their original intentions and remain loyal to them until death.

For example, Han Li's senior brother Liu Jing.

Even though I'm getting older and have seen the realities of life.

Even in the battle at the palace, he risked his life to activate the true treasure, determined to eliminate the demon.

However, Yan Ruyan lacked her own opinions.

Now, with a righteous air, he prepares to take action against himself, but one day he will be submissive and join forces with the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Li Feiyu had no way to deal with this kind of woman.

The only option is to find a way to escape first, and then subdue them another day.

"Miss Yan'er, since you've put it this way..."

"I've heard that you are a genius that Yan Family Fortress has only seen once in hundreds of years."

"I wonder if I could show Han my skills today?"

Han Li's ordinary face was displayed in front of Yan Ruyan, yet he spoke words of unparalleled confidence.

Li Feiyu stretched out his right hand, and the Thunder Pearl shone brightly, challenging Yan Ruyan.

And she also carries her own youth and pride.

"Han Li, how can your mere damaged top-grade spirit pearl be a match for my talisman treasure?"

"Very well, I, Yan Ruyan, will not deceive you today."

Yan Ruyan spoke softly, and the talisman in her hand disappeared, transforming into a top-grade magic artifact of the bead type.

"Miss."

Elder Liu, knowing he couldn't stop them, said, "Since you want to kill this Han Li, why don't I do it?"

"Miss is of such high status and wealth. If anything were to happen to her, I'm afraid the Lord of the Fortress would be held responsible, and no one could bear the blame."

"Need not."

Yan Ruyan said with a hint of arrogance:

"I was already capable of establishing my foundation long ago; if I weren't feeling unwell, I wouldn't have stopped."

"It's just dealing with a mere Qi Refining stage demonic thief."

"Why should anyone else interfere?"

"Elder Liu can stay by my side and provide support."

With a flick of her wrist, the magical pearl-like artifact in her hand emitted a seven-colored light.

"Han Li, go all out!"

"I am in the fortress. This is my first time fighting against someone from the demonic path. I hope you will not disappoint me."
