After Faking Her Death and Escaping, the Junior Sister Fell to the Demonic Path - Chapter 64

“She, how did she turn into a demon?”

Bai Qiyue shivered, pointing at Zhou Zhixue and asking.

But the next moment, she became even more frightened.

Because Qin Qingyi was also covered in demonic energy, gradually turning into a great demon with pure demonic energy, a horn on her forehead, and scales covering her face.

Bai Qiyue was immediately so terrified that her legs went weak, and she turned her head to run elsewhere.

“Running for what?” Qin Qingyi grabbed her collar and yanked her back, her voice having changed into a lazy, wicked baritone.

“It’s not like I’m going to eat you, what’s there to run from?”

Meanwhile, after the demonic energy receded, Zhou Zhixue looked at her hands in surprise. She ignored Bai Qiyue, who was curled up and trembling to the side, and simply looked up at Qin Qingyi: “Senior Sister, what’s going on?”

How did she, too, become a demon?

Bai Qiyue looked at the two great demons before her, her mind blank for a moment, and she could only point at the two of them, stuttering: “You are demons, you are demons…”

She was clearly terrified out of her wits.

Zhou Zhixue didn’t understand what was happening and only wanted confirmation from Qin Qingyi.

Just now, after she took the pill, the spiritual energy in her body somehow turned into demonic energy.

Now—

Zhou Zhixue touched her forehead, and sure enough, she also grew a demon horn very similar to her Senior Sister’s.

When she stretched out her hand again, what burst forth from her palm was no longer spiritual energy, but pure demonic energy.

Had she become a demon?

Zhou Zhixue was astonished.

What on earth was going on?

Seeing that she was adapting quite well, Qin Qingyi first dragged over Bai Qiyue, who was adamantly refusing to open her mouth, and forced the same pill into her mouth before explaining: “What you just ate was a pill I refined during this time. Eating it allows you to completely mimic the appearance of a demon.”

She had made it by grinding the horns of a demon she had killed earlier and mixing the powder into a shapeshifting pill.

It was originally prepared for today.

Last time, she hadn’t prepared and entered the demon lair in her demon form, which ended up injuring her Junior Sister severely. She wasn’t an idiot; once bitten, twice shy. This time, she absolutely had to be prepared before coming.

Bai Qiyue next to them was still desperately clawing at her throat, trying to spit out what Qin Qingyi had force-fed her.

But after gagging for a long time, nothing came out.

Bai Qiyue’s face showed despair. Was she doomed to die here today?

Qin Qingyi saw her expression and knew that the Bai young miss hadn’t heard a single word of what she had just said to Zhou Zhixue.

She sighed and simply squatted down, looking at the teary-eyed Bai Qiyue, and explained again:

“Alright, stop trying to throw up. It’s not poison.”

She pulled Bai Qiyue up from the ground and motioned for her to look down at herself.

It wasn’t until she looked down that Bai Qiyue suddenly exclaimed in surprise: “How did I…”

“Also turn into a demon?”

Bai Qiyue looked at the demonic energy swirling around her, somewhat in disbelief. She looked left and right, then touched her face, and was again surprised: “I really turned into a demon?!”

She circled around curiously a few times, touching the other two, then touching herself, forgetting her fear for the moment.

Seeing her mood lighten, Qin Qingyi spoke: “Alright, hurry up and get used to it. Change your clothes. We need to seize the chaos and infiltrate the demon race later.”

They had come this trip with a mission.

Before they set off, Venerable Wenqing had performed a divination and said that the Blackwater Demon Lair was overflowing with demonic energy, and the future Demon Star would be born there. He instructed Qin Qingyi to sneak in and gather information upon arrival. If the news was confirmed, they were to do their best to eliminate it in its infancy.

Half an hour later, Qin Qingyi led Zhou Zhixue and Bai Qiyue and smoothly blended into the ranks of the demon race.

It was also good luck. After they changed into demon clothes and checked for any flaws, Qin Qingyi skillfully led the two toward the area with the densest demonic energy, which was also the real entrance to the demon lair she had marked last time.

Just as they approached the demon stronghold, Qin Qingyi was racking her brains trying to figure out how to successfully sneak in without being discovered when a squad of low-level demons suddenly rushed out from inside, running hastily outward.

The three of them, Qin Qingyi, stood close to the wall, watching their feet and nose, pretending to be on guard. The two demon generals who were originally standing guard here had already been conveniently killed by Qin Qingyi when she crept over, and their corpses were still lying in her storage bracelet.

The last demon general in the group paused as he passed the bewildered trio of Qin Qingyi, sizing up the three of them suspiciously. His brows immediately furrowed.

“You three…”

Bai Qiyue’s breathing instantly stopped.

Zhou Zhixue also clenched her fist, considering how quickly she could kill him. She also slowed her breathing, ready to strike if the other party showed any suspicion.

Only Qin Qingyi was fearless.

She believed her pill was enough to fool the demon in front of them.

Sure enough, the unknown demon general glanced at the three of them, and then spoke a demonic tongue with dissatisfaction: “%&￥%&!”

Before the immortal sect declared war, all disciples had undergone brief training in the demonic language and could understand less complicated phrases.

Therefore, the three people present understood what the other party said.

“The immortal sect’s dogs are barking outside! Aren’t you going quickly to kill them and show your loyalty to the Demon God! A bunch of fools!”

The immortal sect’s dogs referred to Xie Su and Hu Yu.

Qin Qingyi’s eyes narrowed, and the faces of the two behind her were also grim.

But now was not the time to act.

Qin Qingyi lowered her head, pretending to be obedient, and hurriedly went to catch up with the team ahead.

The two behind her also quickly followed Qin Qingyi.

The demon general, however, seemed to have some misplaced anger and even kicked the demon general form Bai Qiyue had transformed into: “Hurry up!”

Bai Qiyue was caught off guard and was kicked straight to the ground.

Seeing her roll on the ground, the demon general scolded again: “Useless trash!”

Bai Qiyue was so angry that the veins on the back of her hands bulged, but she couldn’t say anything. She could only swallow her anger, climb up from the ground, and run toward Qin Qingyi without a word.

When she reached Qin Qingyi’s side, her face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot. She gritted her teeth and communicated telepathically to the two: “I want him dead!”

Otherwise, her hatred would not be appeased!

She was the saintess of the Medicine King Valley! When had she ever suffered such humiliation?!

Qin Qingyi stifled a laugh and nodded: “Alright, we’ll kill him a little later.”

In this short time, the group had caught up with the advance team and saw Xie Su and Hu Yu standing not far away.

At this moment, both were covered in murderous aura, and a field of fragmented demon corpses lay behind them, with hardly a complete one to be found. They were clearly fighting with murderous frenzy.

Qin Qingyi inwardly cursed the two for being reckless, not even knowing to hide their demon horns.

Seeing the two get tangled up in a fight with this new batch of demon generals, Qin Qingyi also joined the fray, but only stayed on the periphery with Zhou Zhixue and Bai Qiyue.

Watching Xie Su and Hu Yu fight fiercely, Qin Qingyi even silently moved to a more secluded area, afraid that the waves of spiritual energy and sword qi would affect her.

The demon general who had kicked Bai Qiyue earlier also arrived. His strength was clearly greater than the mere cannon fodder being cut down like cabbages by Xie Su and Hu Yu. Seeing that the small soldiers were almost entirely killed by Xie Su and Hu Yu, he finally swung his demon spear and joined the battle.

Fighting two against one, he did not fall into a disadvantaged position at all.

Seeing that no one would notice them, Qin Qingyi released her hands and feet, launching deadly attacks on her surrounding demon “companions,” one strike to the heart each time.

Looking at the surprised and incredulous eyes of these demons, Qin Qingyi felt no guilt, and her movements even sped up, ensuring they died before they could even react.

Zhou Zhixue and Bai Qiyue followed suit, also launching sneak attacks on the surrounding demon generals, especially Bai Qiyue. Perhaps it was because the previous demon general had made her lose face, but she was the most ruthless, one spear piercing the demon right through. When she pulled it out, it left a massive bloody hole that even made Qin Qingyi wince.

Before long, the surrounding demon cannon fodder was dealt with. The demon general entangled with Xie Su and Hu Yu finally realized that something was wrong. He looked at the three of them, cursing loudly in the demonic tongue. Bai Qiyue could vaguely make out that he was accusing them of being blind.

Qin Qingyi picked at her ear, shrugging: “What is he saying? I don’t understand a single word.”

As she spoke, she reached out and summoned her White-Out Sword, and spiritual energy immediately surged forth, diluting much of the demonic energy around her.

She was the first to drop her disguise, revealing a beautiful and alluring face, despite the surrounding demonic energy. She hooked her finger at the demon general, who was still locked in a stalemate with Xie Su and Hu Yu in mid-air: “You dog, come down and die.”

Zhou Zhixue and Bai Qiyue also dropped their disguises. Zhou Zhixue held her Everlasting Joy Sword and looked up at the sky, while Bai Qiyue ground her teeth and flexed her wrists: “Later, beat him half to death. I will thoroughly wash away the humiliation from before!”

Hu Yu recognized that the people standing below were Qin Qingyi and the others and was instantly delighted: “Senior Sister! And Junior Sister!”

During a break in the fighting, he did not forget to look at the three: “Senior Sister, why did you change your appearance?”

Qin Qingyi also shouted back: “It’s a long story! You two take him down first, and then I’ll tell you!”

Hu Yu laughed heartily: “Alright!”

“Senior Sister, just wait for me for a quarter of an hour!”

In a quarter of an hour, he would definitely take down this demon beast!

Thinking this, Hu Yu’s eyes flashed fiercely. He signaled to Xie Su opposite him: “Senior Brother! Don’t delay, let’s finish this quickly!”

Xie Su nodded, and the movements of his hands became more ruthless.

Demons are all things that deserve to die!

As things stood, the demon general finally understood what was happening. The two immortal disciples in front of him and the three people below were clearly in league!

He had been tricked!

He roared in anger, and the movements of his hands became more frantic, each move deadly, aiming straight for Xie Su and Hu Yu’s vital points.

The fight between the two people and one demon became more intense and dangerous, and it was hard to tell who was at a disadvantage for a time.

Qin Qingyi looked up, blocking the strong light, and clicked her tongue: “I didn’t expect this dog to be quite strong.”

“Senior Sister, should I go to assist?”

Zhou Zhixue asked thoughtfully and appropriately.

After being a transparent person for so long, she was truly worried that her Senior Sister would not notice her.

Bai Qiyue watched her actions from the side and scoffed: “She’s rushing to fawn over them. A genius from the Sword Sect, yet she has no backbone.”

This earned Zhou Zhixue a glare and the cold gleam of the Everlasting Joy Sword.

Bai Qiyue immediately shut up obediently.

Remembering the setbacks, she had suffered on Hidden Snow Peak before, Bai Qiyue pouted and grumbled softly: “None of you on Hidden Snow Peak are easy to deal with. All you know is how to draw your swords.”

Qin Qingyi found it amusing.

It seemed that the teachings of the Medicine King Valley had been good for this girl over the years. Even her insults were soft now.

Qin Qingyi looked at Zhou Zhixue, who had volunteered, and then at the truly deadlocked battle in the sky, and finally agreed.

“Fine, then you go. It will help end things faster.”

She looked at Zhou Zhixue, her eyes curving into a smile:

“Just remember to keep him alive. Senior Sister has a use for him.”

Zhou Zhixue nodded steadily, summoned her sword, and flew straight up.

Sure enough, with her joining, the tide of the battle quickly turned. The previously evenly matched situation immediately became one-sided.

The demon general was already struggling. Seeing another person join, he immediately broke down and cursed the three of them: “Ganging up on me! Is this your immortal sect’s style?!”

The three heard him. Zhou Zhixue kept a cold face and ignored him. Her Senior Sister’s mission for her was to end the battle quickly and bring the demon back alive.

Xie Su also did not speak, but the movements of his hands quickened. He turned, raised his arm, and stabbed with his sword, aiming straight for the demon general’s throat.

Hu Yu was clearly more roguish. Hearing the cursing, he replied in a good mood: “So what? No one saw it anyway! We are ganging up on you!”

With that, he seized the opportunity, sliced off the demon general’s arm with a sword, and sneered: “You dog, your time is up.”

Just as he was about to finish off the demon with a single sword strike, Zhou Zhixue intervened and deflected his sword.

“Junior Sister?” Hu Yu frowned, confused by her intention.

Zhou Zhixue said concisely: “Senior Sister wants him alive.”

Hu Yu suddenly realized: “Oh, oh, alright, alright. Since Senior Sister wants him, we’ll keep him alive.”

But how should they tie him up?

The three surrounded the demon, who had already lost its ability to fight. Xie Su cut off the demon’s other intact arm as well, which made Hu Yu click his tongue: “Senior Brother?”

“To prevent a sneak attack,” Xie Su explained.

Hu Yu immediately nodded.

Indeed, a demon without hands is a good demon.

Enduring the demon’s bloodthirsty gaze, which looked like it wanted to devour the three of them alive, Hu Yu suggested: “Junior Sister, how about we tie him up before bringing him to Senior Sister?”

Zhou Zhixue nodded slightly. She summoned the Silken Brocade, and just as she was about to tie up the demon, she hesitated.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Zhixue put the Silken Brocade away and instead used an ordinary rope to tightly bind the demon.

Only then did she drag the demon toward Qin Qingyi.

“Hey, isn’t the Silken Brocade better to use? Junior Sister, why didn’t you use it?” Hu Yu followed behind, curiously asking softly.

Xie Su said expressionlessly: “Don’t ask.”

“Junior Sister has her own considerations.”
