Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"What do we do next? Are you still going to look for this guy?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Nonsense, we can't let an enemy like this get away. If he does, he'll be a menace in the future. It's just that his aura has disappeared from my detection range, so I'm not sure which direction he fled in. All I can say is that I've memorized his aura, and next time, I definitely won't let him escape again." That was all Lin Aoxue could say.

They said they couldn't let it go, but in reality, there was no way to find the other party immediately.

Ye Liuyun sighed slightly, then prepared to move forward again. They had already entered the inner circle, but trouble seemed to be coming. Just as they were about to leave, a group of cultivators flew in from afar.

"Huh? Someone's coming." Lin Aoxue immediately looked in a certain direction alertly, while preparing for battle.

Ye Liuyun frowned as well. The battle had just ended and now more people had arrived, and they didn't even know if they were friend or foe.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait. We are disciples of the Crimson Cloud Sect." A voice entered their ears.

The newcomers were a team of six led by two Spirit Pattern Realm experts. Their clothing looked somewhat familiar, as it seemed to be the same as that of the second wave of cultivators who were killed. They might be from the same sect.

These people were furious. They had come from the area where their fellow disciples had died, probably as reinforcements that team had called for before they died.

This is not a good thing. That evil cultivator has already run away, and Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun are the cultivators closest to this place, so they are easily suspected.

This group of people originally wanted to ask Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun if they knew about the battle that had taken place not long ago, but as soon as they arrived and saw Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun's appearance, they immediately revealed their murderous intent.

"Red-robed cultivators, you are the ones who killed my Crimson Cloud Sect cultivators!" The leader of the opposing disciples shouted angrily when he saw Lin Aoxue.

These words stunned Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun.

They looked at each other and realized that the other must have misunderstood.

"What? Us? What are you talking about? We just fought with a wicked cultivator in a red robe here, but he got away. You don't think that wicked cultivator is me, do you?" Lin Aoxue knew that the other party thought she was a wicked cultivator as soon as she heard this.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Crimson Cloud Sect observed the situation. Indeed, a battle had just taken place and ended. There were three fluctuations of energy here, one of which was very strange, similar to the energy emanating from the corpses of their fellow disciples.

After they calmed down, they could tell that the people who killed their Chixiao Sect disciples were probably not these two, but they still needed to confirm whether it was true or not, because the evil cultivators were hiding very well.

Furthermore, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue didn't seem quite right; they didn't look like proper cultivators, and they weren't wearing sect robes. They might be rogue cultivators, and if they were, the chances were very high.

"Fellow Daoist, are you saying that you fought with a red-robed evil cultivator before?" the two leading disciples asked after exchanging a few words.

They need to confirm this.

“Nonsense, can’t you sense three auras here? Judging from your clothes, you must be reinforcements called by the cultivators who died over there. We also discovered their corpses and then realized the presence of this evil cultivator, which is why we chased after them,” Lin Aoxue said, arms crossed.

Chapter 162 Physical Calm

Lin Aoxue's words puzzled the cultivators of the Crimson Cloud Sect, because the leader of their Crimson Cloud Sect's slain team was also a mid-stage Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator.

That team consisted of one mid-stage Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator, two Spirit Sea Realm cultivators, and three Spirit River Realm cultivators, all of whom were killed.

The two people in front of us are only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Pattern Realm, and the other is so weak that he is negligible at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm. Why are they completely unharmed?

Most importantly, they repelled the evil cultivators and drove them away, which they felt was very unreasonable.

From the perspective of normal cultivators, this is indeed unreasonable, since they do not know that Lin Aoxue has a Feathered Immortal Body, and Lin Aoxue cannot explain it to them.

“Senior brother, I think they’re lying. How could a mere mid-stage Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator defeat that evil cultivator? I’ve heard that evil cultivators are very good at hiding. Just now, our fellow disciples’ plea for help told us that the attacker was a red-robed cultivator, and this woman is also dressed in red. I think it’s her. Otherwise, how could the two of them have survived at the hands of that evil cultivator?” The female cultivator from the Crimson Cloud Sect, who was at the Spirit Pattern Realm, said with narrowed eyes.

Indeed, what she said made sense, and Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun both frowned upon hearing it. They seemed unable to find a reason to refute it.

"It seems Aoxue is in trouble. They really think we're evil cultivators. What should we do?" Ye Liuyun asked in a low voice, frowning.

They thought they hadn't checked the almanac before going out today, and how did they get into trouble so quickly?

"Sigh! There's nothing I can do. If we keep talking, we'll probably end up fighting again," Lin Aoxue said helplessly.

As expected, after discussing their case, the six members of the Crimson Cloud Sect decided to capture Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun first.

"Gentlemen, we need to confirm whether you are evil cultivators or not. Take action and capture them," the leading cultivator of the Crimson Cloud Sect ordered.

As soon as these words were spoken, the six members of the Crimson Cloud Sect flew towards Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue simultaneously.

Lin Aoxue could only sigh heavily upon seeing this scene.

"Sigh! Since you don't believe us, there's nothing I can do. Let's calm you down first." Lin Aoxue knew that reasoning with these people wouldn't work; she had to show them what was what before she could calm them down.

After saying that, Lin Aoxue transformed into a streak of green light and flew away at a very fast speed.

"Aoxue, go easy on them, don't hurt them," Ye Liuyun warned as soon as he saw Lin Aoxue fly out.

These six people were just mistaken, so we shouldn't go too far.

However, these words made the six members of the Crimson Cloud Sect even angrier, and at the same time, they found it somewhat amusing. They had two Spirit Pattern Realm cultivators and four Spirit Sea Realm cultivators among them, with the leader being a peak Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator.

Even against a Dao Palace Level 1 opponent, such a combination would not be without any power to resist.

But before they could finish laughing, they realized they were wrong.

Lin Aoxue suddenly sped up and disappeared from their sight.

"Huh? Where did everyone go?" The group was forced to stop.

But a figure quickly swept past them. By the time they reacted, apart from the peak Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator, the other five rolled their eyes and fell from the sky. They had been knocked unconscious by Lin Aoxue.

"This? Such speed." The cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Pattern Realm barely managed to dodge Lin Aoxue's attack.

At the same time, the back of his neck was getting cold. If Lin Aoxue wanted to kill him, that attack would probably have taken his head.

"Junior sister?" The young man exclaimed in surprise as he glanced at his fellow disciples who had been hit.

With that last breath, five fellow disciples lost their fighting ability; this is not the power that a Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator should possess.

"Oh? You actually dodged it? Hey! I'm warning you again, calm down. I really didn't kill the people from your sect," Lin Aoxue reminded her.

Unfortunately, the young man in charge simply didn't believe it, and was even more certain that Lin Aoxue was an evil cultivator.

This combat strength is consistent with the combat strength required to kill their Chixiao Sect disciples.

"Hmph! No wonder our Crimson Cloud Sect's team of disciples died at your hands. You are indeed formidable. But you have offended the Crimson Cloud Sect, you are finished. I have already sent a distress message to the sect." The young man sneered.

Lin Aoxue nearly fainted upon hearing this. What was going on? This was an undeserved disaster! They were supposed to be eliminating evil, but now they were being treated as evil cultivators.

"Sigh! It seems we don't look like good people at all," Ye Liuyun sighed.

She wasn't worried about Lin Aoxue having any problems, but since the other party had actually sought help from the sect, this identity would probably be unusable soon.

"Did a donkey kick your brain? Or did it get caught in a door? You don't even have this much judgment? Forget it, you should take a nap and calm down." Lin Aoxue didn't want to waste any more words. She used the Feathered Immortal Ascension technique again, but this time the attack wasn't as powerful as before.

"Huh? What is this?" The man saw a blurry image fly out of Lin Aoxue's body and instinctively tried to defend himself.

However, the afterimage pierced through his attack and passed right through him, causing the man's eyes to roll back and him to faint.

And so, these six people were physically calmed down.

"Ugh! This is so annoying." Lin Aoxue sighed.

Ye Liuyun also quickly came over.

"What should we do? There are six more people. We can't just leave like this. If we leave and they get killed, then it will be our fault," Ye Liuyun said.

Lin Aoxue thought for a moment, then decided to restrain them first and then wake them up.

About five minutes later, the six people who had been knocked unconscious gradually woke up, only to find themselves imprisoned.

"This? A witch? What do you want to do?" The leading disciple of the Crimson Cloud Sect struggled for a moment before shouting angrily at Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun in front of him.

"Ah! Calm down, I'll say it again, it really wasn't the two of us. I just happened to be wearing red. We're disciples of the Yunxia Sect." Lin Aoxue helplessly took out her identity token.

The people of Chixiao Sect were stunned when they heard this, but they still didn't believe it.

"Hmph! You have such audacity, daring to kill even disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect! You witch, you're finished!" the disciples of the Crimson Cloud Sect roared angrily.

"Hey? You don't believe that? Then let me ask you, what evidence do you have to prove that I killed your people? And if I were an evil cultivator, would I need to reason with you? With my strength, would you still be alive?" Lin Aoxue was so angry she almost laughed.

Lin Aoxue's words made some sense, and the six of them calmed down for a moment.

The evil cultivators killed their Chixiao Sect disciples, so it's a fight to the death. There's no need to reason with them. If the two people in front of them are really disciples of Yunxia Sect, perhaps they have some treasures that allowed them to repel the evil cultivators.

After calming down, the six remained silent for a long time.

"Could it be that we really made a mistake?" The six people looked at each other.

"You've really got it wrong. You're accusing someone without any evidence. Besides, I use a sword. Do you think my strength is the same as the strength I used to kill your fellow disciple? I just happened to be wearing red clothes," Lin Aoxue said again.

After she finished speaking, she released the six people from their restraints.

This time, the six of them had no choice but to believe it.

"Alright, sorry, it seems we six really made a mistake. Are you two truly fairies from the Cloud Mist Sect?" the leading youth asked.

"Really, why would I lie to you? Do you think all sect disciples have to reveal their identities when they go out?" Lin Aoxue complained.

After Lin Aoxue's repeated persuasion, the six people finally believed it.

“This evil cultivator is a man, wearing a red robe, not a red dress. His cultivation level is between the early and mid-stages of the first level of the Dao Palace realm. You'd better not rashly go looking for trouble, lest you get killed instead. You should report this to your sect and have them send a Dao Palace expert to cause trouble,” Lin Aoxue said.

The group was momentarily embarrassed.

"This, I'm sorry, we made a mistake. We didn't know how to address you two fairies. It's just that your attire was a bit outrageous, and your appearance didn't make you look like proper cultivators," the leading disciple of the Crimson Cloud Sect said with a dry laugh.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately began to criticize Lin Aoxue.

"Aoxue, did you hear that? We don't look like good people, you know? Let's be serious." Ye Liuyun scolded.

Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes and then revealed her identity.

"My name is Lin Aoxue. If you don't believe me, you can ask your elders at the Yunxia Sect. Alright, I won't waste any more time talking to you. My sister and I need to continue our training. Goodbye." After saying this, Lin Aoxue left with Ye Liuyun.

"Eh?" The people from the Crimson Cloud Sect realized that they had acted rashly and without composure.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it wasn't an evil cultivator. If it were, we would have ended up like them." The others breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Yang Qing again, a black wolf appeared where Yang Qing was hiding. The black wolf sniffed around and then revealed a very human-like look in its eyes.

"Awoo..." The black wolf looked up and howled.

This sound aroused Yang Qing's suspicion, who was hiding there.

"A demonic beast?" Yang Qing was stunned.

"I've discovered an evil cultivator! The evil cultivator is here! I've discovered an evil cultivator! The evil cultivator is here!" A crow appeared above the cave where the evil cultivator was hiding, constantly uttering human-like sounds.

Upon closer inspection, isn't this one of the small animals that ate Ye Liuyun's pill?

The crow's cry was so loud that Yang Qing's expression changed.

Although I don't know what happened, this place is not a safe place to stay.

"Damn it, what's wrong with this crow? Has it become a spirit?" Yang Qing said, and immediately ran out from his hiding place.

He had originally planned to come out and kill the crow, but when he came out, he found that the crow was gone.

"Huh? Gone? Where did it go?" Yang Qing was confused. After thinking for a moment, he turned back.

But not long after they left the cave, the crow reappeared.

"I've discovered an evil cultivator! The evil cultivator is here! I've discovered an evil cultivator! The evil cultivator is here!" The crow kept repeating this phrase.

Yang Qing certainly couldn't let him keep cawing here, but every time he came out, the crows would disappear, and as soon as he went back, they would reappear, which was very annoying.

With no other option, Yang Qing had to find another place to heal his wounds.

Chapter 163 What is the heretical path?

But no matter where Yang Qing ran, he couldn't get rid of this crow.

The strange birds of the Cloud Mist Sect like to reveal secrets between lovers, while this crow seems to like revealing the identities of villains?

That's a fine crow, one that punishes evildoers.

"Damn it, you stinking crow, come out here! If you have the guts, come out here, I'll roast you!" Yang Qing had changed hiding spots three times in a row, and after being tortured back and forth several times, he was almost driven mad with anger.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any trace of the crow. Whenever he appeared, the crow would never show itself. But when he wanted to go and heal his wounds, the crow would start cawing incessantly. It was truly a jinx.

In fact, many passing cultivators heard the crow's cry, but they couldn't figure out what the crow meant or why it kept saying that evil cultivators were here.

First of all, let's put aside the issue of heretical practitioners. Just look at this crow; the problem is much bigger. It's an ordinary crow that's spouting human language.

Unfortunately, he was too far away from Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun, otherwise they would definitely know what this meant.

The Liuyang Mountains have a variety of environments, and there are many caves in the mountains. After entering the inner area, Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun found a secluded cave to stay in.

The main purpose of this trip to the Six Yang Mountains was to conduct experiments; Lin Aoxue came here to cultivate along the way.

"This place is nice; it can serve as a temporary camp. I should take a good look at these pills," Ye Liuyun said with a smile after glancing at the spacious cave.

If you're here to refine and research medicines, you don't need to worry too much about other issues.
