All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

Witnessing this, the masked man's eyes lit up; he knew Er You before him had exhausted his reserves, nearly a spent force.

He roared, and the Evil Qi around his body surged, coalescing into a pitch-black line that shot straight towards Er You.

The terrifying Evil Qi loomed larger and larger in Er You's eyes.

The next moment, a sacred scroll manifested before Er You, blocking the terrifying streak of Evil Qi, preventing it from advancing even half a step!

The energy of the Confucian School, the aura of sages!

The masked man's heart lurched. This is bad, he thought. The Confucian School's members have arrived!

Then, a sword plummeted from the sky!

This sword was named 'Virtue.'

In an instant, it pierced the masked man. The pervasive dark Qi dissipated. He clutched his chest, blood flowing through his fingers, as his entire body stumbled backward.

Then, high above, the sages' aura surged, and a serene voice echoed through the heavens,

"How then should virtue be repaid? Repay injustice with uprightness, and repay virtue with virtue."

"..."

CLANG—

A sword spiraled across the entire skyline, surrounded by an unending, brilliant golden radiance.

Then, it fiercely pierced the masked man's arm, leaving a stark scar on his hand!

Forcing down the terror in his heart, the masked man pressed his wounded hand and roared,

"Er Yuan!"

This man was the Confucian Sage's great disciple. Centuries ago, he had already reached the Mid Stage of Dao Integration, and his current realm was unknown. Facing him, the masked man knew only death awaited, with absolutely no chance of survival!

Seeing this, the masked man's heart sank. He hastily staunched the bleeding from his hand, then his entire body instantly transformed into a black shadow and drifted into the distance.

He despaired. I've missed my chance this time. Will I ever get another opportunity to obtain the Confucian Tri-Energy?

The sword hummed. The remaining few who hadn't escaped in time felt the Evil Qi within their bodies wildly dissipate as the sword light pierced them. Then, they instantly exploded in mid-air.

Er You immediately shouted up at Er Yuan in the sky,

"Senior Brother, leave one alive!"

The few masked men exchanged glances, knowing they couldn't escape. In the next instant, a torrent of blood sprayed into the sky, then they transformed into a black fog and dissipated into the air.

"Miss!"

A middle-aged man, holding the Sword of Righteousness, floated down from the sky. He took a Qi Blood Pill from his Storage Ring and flicked it into Er You's mouth.

"Senior Brother, what brings you here? Thank goodness you arrived."

"..."

Er You sat cross-legged on the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He continuously circulated his internal energy to absorb the pill's medicinal power. He gazed thoughtfully at the Sword of Virtue in Er Yuan's hand and then spoke,

Er Yuan helped Li Zijun up, then continuously channeled Spiritual Energy into Er You's body. He smiled and said,

"Master had ordered me to go to Inverted Heaven to fetch a jar of exquisite water. I was just passing through this area when I sensed a Confucian School Token shatter, so I came immediately."

"Fortunately, I wasn't too late."

"..."

Li Zijun calmed the surging Qi and blood within her, the Confucian Tri-Energy resonating around her. She bowed gently to Er Yuan, then slowly walked over to Er You. Bowing deeply, she said softly,

"Zi Jun thanks Uncle for saving my life!"

Er You smiled and said,

"There's no need for such formalities, Miss. Protecting you was my mission this time."

Er You's gaze then shifted to the slender, golden sword at Er Yuan's waist. As if sensing Er You's attention, Er Yuan smiled and said,

"This mission presented some difficulties, so Master specially bestowed this sword for my use. Fortunately, it truly proved its worth. That masked man who escaped possesses a high cultivation—Half-Step into Dao Integration. He must be a rare expert in all Twenty-One Provinces!"

"..."

As his words faded, the atmosphere between the two grew considerably heavier.

In the South Wind Ancient Country, the Confucian Sage's daughter was openly targeted for assassination? This was utterly preposterous.

It was likely that some terrifying, unknown conspiracy was brewing behind the scenes in the Twenty-One Provinces.

Evil Qi... it hadn't been seen for so many years.

The sunlight glinted charmingly. Li Zijun adjusted her robe and walked towards a flickering golden light on the ground. Her eyes fixed on the golden token lying there. She picked it up gently, brought it before the two men, and asked softly,

"Have either of you uncles seen this symbol before?"

"..."

Hearing Li Zijun's words, both Er Yuan and Er You turned. They examined the golden token in her hand, which bore a symbol resembling a ring, and pondered for a long time before shaking their heads.

Li Zijun gazed thoughtfully at the strangely familiar symbol and continued,

"Have you uncles ever heard of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art?"

Devouring Heaven Demon Art?

Hearing the name of this Cultivation Technique, Er Yuan's brows furrowed. He pondered carefully for a moment before replying,

"I seem to recall hearing someone mention it. But isn't that what the Miaojiang Clan uses for rearing gu?"

"..."

Before long, large groups of cultivators arrived and surrounded Li Zijun. Then, a middle-aged elder hurried over, his face etched with anxiety. Seeing Li Zijun unharmed, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said,

"Miss Zijun, are you all right?"

Li Zijun smiled at the somewhat portly elder before her and replied,

"Thank you, Lord of Jinling City. Zi Jun is unharmed, thanks to your timely arrival..."

"..."

Er You stepped forward, a cold sneer touching his lips. He looked at the portly man before him and rebuked loudly,
