Scum Of The Demonic Sect

Chapter 89 The Female Demon (Part 2)

Lin Haoming was somewhat surprised by this scene. He was quite familiar with Xie Ruolan, but he was certain that when he last saw her Yin Soul Banner, it didn't contain a Foundation Establishment stage Yin Soul. This meant that Xie Ruolan only absorbed it after achieving Foundation Establishment. And since she hadn't left the sect after Foundation Establishment, it could only mean that Xie Ruolan actually possessed a Foundation Establishment stage Yin Soul from the beginning, but she was afraid that merging it into the Yin Soul Banner would cause her insufficient cultivation to suffer a backlash, so she waited until he achieved Foundation Establishment to refine it.

Understanding this, Lin Haoming felt Xie Ruolan was becoming increasingly enigmatic. What had happened to her in the past few years? How could she have become so powerful? After all, Yin Souls weren't something the Treasure Pavilion sold, at least not the Blood Refining Sect's Treasure Pavilion.

Surrounded by three Yin spirits, the ghost head was on the verge of death. The Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yao's face contorted with rage. He hurled his bone staff, which instantly expanded hundreds, even thousands of times, transforming into a gigantic bone club that hurtled towards Xie Ruolan.

Xie Ruolan, having anticipated this, tossed out a talisman as the club descended.

The talisman, illuminated by a beam of light, transformed into a thick lightning serpent, directly meeting the bone club head-on.

Struck by the lightning serpent, the bone club exploded in a deafening roar, shattering into two pieces before returning to its original size and falling to the ground.

Seeing his magical artifact destroyed, the cultivator surnamed Yao was both furious and anxious. Although he hated Xie Ruolan intensely, he was at a loss for what to do.

Seeing that the ghost head was about to be torn to shreds by the three Yin spirits, and surrounded by the Yin spirits released by the other side, he accepted the loss of face and anxiously cried out to Xie Ruolan, "Junior Sister Xie, I was wrong today!"

Xie Ruolan merely sneered and said, "This is the Arena of Life and Death!"

With that, she patted her storage bag, and a small mirror appeared in her hand. She casually shone it on the ghosts released by the Yao surname cultivator, and the ghosts instantly turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared.

The Yin Spirit Banner waved again, and with a scream from the ghost head, the three Yin spirits tore the ghost head apart and devoured it, then rushed towards the Yao surname Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Xie Ruolan's actions were clearly aimed at killing the Yao surname cultivator, which terrified everyone watching. They felt that the woman who had once fawned over the two young masters of the inner sect was nothing but a female demon.

As the approaching spirits lunged at him, the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yao patted his storage pouch, tossing out a stream of red sand. This crimson sand, sprinkled upon the spirits, caused them to scream and instantly dissipate.

Everyone could see that the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yao was going all out.

But just after he threw out a few handfuls of crimson sand, a white light suddenly appeared before him.

The onlookers only saw the white light flash across his forehead, and then, while still fighting the spirits, the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yao's head exploded.

Seeing the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yao fall directly onto the life-or-death arena, not only the Qi Refining disciples but even the four Foundation Establishment cultivators watching the battle exchanged astonished glances.

Although some of them had guessed that Xie Ruolan dared to act, she must have extraordinary abilities, but they never imagined that she could not only defeat someone a minor realm higher than herself but also kill them outright. At this moment, everyone finally noticed what the white light was—a silver hairpin. After Xie Ruolan killed the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yao, she caught the hairpin and put it on her head, completely ignoring the fact that the magical artifact had just shattered someone's head.

Lin Haoming felt a chill run down his spine. He knew Xie Ruolan was strong before, but he hadn't imagined she was this strong. Having only recently reached Foundation Establishment, she had actually managed to kill someone a whole minor realm higher. This was beyond his comprehension; a minor realm difference in the Foundation Establishment stage was far greater than that in the Qi Refining stage.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Xie Ruolan on the Life and Death Arena grabbed the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yao's storage bag, a satisfied smile playing on her lips. She paid no attention to the stares of others. Her gaze swept over the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators, each of them feeling an indescribable chill.

"The competition is over, shouldn't you hand over the cave dwelling now?" Xie Ruolan said calmly to the four men after releasing a fireball that instantly incinerated the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yao.

The seemingly older cultivator nodded awkwardly, then took out an array plate, saying, "This is the array plate for Cave Dwelling Number Sixteen!"

Xie Ruolan snatched the array plate from the old man's hand, and after a few glances, recognized it as the one she had submitted, then tossed it to Lin Haoming.

Lin Haoming caught the array plate, feeling its heat. At that moment, he heard Xie Ruolan say, "Let's go back to the cave dwelling. There are some things I need to ask you!"

"Yes!" Lin Haoming replied, watching Xie Ruolan fly away, and immediately followed.

The others, seeing the two of them leave, finally erupted in a clamor.

"Senior Brother Mi, Xie Ruolan killed Senior Brother Yao... how are we supposed to explain this?" At this moment, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who appeared to be the weakest asked the Foundation Establishment elder.

The elder glanced at him and said, "Of course, we'll tell the truth. Senior Brother Yao was truly unlucky; he lost his life for a woman. Xie Ruolan only studied under Senior Luo for a short time, how could she be so powerful?"

"I heard that Senior Luo's former husband, Elder Tie of the sect, supposedly killed a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator one-on-one when he was only in the early Foundation Establishment stage. Do you think Elder Tie might have been guiding him?" the last Foundation Establishment cultivator asked.

"I heard that Senior Luo and Elder Tie had a bad relationship a long time ago. That can't be true, can it? But with this woman's methods, the sect is likely to produce another powerful figure. If she doesn't perish, her future is probably limitless!" the elder sighed.

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators sighed in amazement, and several Qi Refining disciples who had been watching immediately took out communication talismans to relay the news. Some even wrote talismans and flew directly to the core of Spirit Wheel Mountain.

Although Lin Haoming left with Xie Ruolan, he also understood that Xie Ruolan's stunning performance today was likely an outburst of pent-up frustration.

Before reaching Foundation Establishment, she had to feign compliance to deal with Ling Shengjie and Kong Yuanliang. Now, perhaps because she had Elder Luo as her backer, she no longer needed to be subservient to others, and thus unleashed her pent-up grievances. Poor Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Yao became the unlucky one.

But even so, Xie Ruolan's reputation has been established, though it's unlikely to be good. Fortunately, the Blood Refining Sect is a demonic sect; even if she's confirmed as a female demon, so what?
