My Demon Lord Junior Sister Is Pretending to Be Good to Seduce Me - Chapter 54

Lin Yumo subtly channeled her internal strength beneath her feet, silently competing with the coercive pressure from Sect Leader Qi.

Wei Qingyi noticed this pressure. She took a step forward, blocking Lin Yumo.

She raised an eyebrow, squinting slightly as she looked at Sect Leader Qi. “Sect Leader Qi, do you think this Battle of the Deer was a natural disaster or a man-made one?”

Sect Leader Qi slammed her staff down, giving a cold snort. “I think, well, it was both a natural disaster and a man-made one.” ☉

“The new generation of heavenly talents among the Hundred Immortal Sects were almost completely annihilated. Heaven intends to destroy our Immortal Sects—”

“As for the man-made disaster, if not for a few troublemakers from Shuiyun Tian colluding with the Demon Race, our Immortal Sects wouldn’t have suffered such heavy losses.”

She glanced at Lin Yumo, who was behind Wei Qingyi, and curled her lips. “On the other hand, your Xuanling Mountain suffered no losses at all.”

“Not only that, but my daughter’s life was also lost because of it!” Her emotions grew more agitated as she spoke.

“Among the Hundred Immortal Sects, those who can be called Immortal Venerables are few and far between. My daughter became a disciple of Twin Dragon Valley at sixteen, broke the Sky South with her sword at twenty-one, was elevated to Venerable that same year, and campaigned against the Demon Race at twenty-three. Any one of these achievements would have been enough for her to inherit the great tradition of my White Emperor City, yet she died for a little girl with no blood relation!”

Lin Yumo pursed her lips and clenched her fists, her fingertips digging into her flesh.

She couldn’t think of a single word to refute Sect Leader Qi.

Qi Shiyu indeed died because of her, and the prodigies of the immortal families were also turned into hollowed-out puppets because Li Shuangjiang hated her, forever buried on the borders of the Nine Abysses.

“Shouldn’t she kneel!” Sect Leader Qi slammed her staff heavily on the ground, directly confronting Wei Qingyi’s coercive pressure.

Lin Yumo looked up at Sect Leader Qi, meeting her stern and commanding eyes. She walked past Wei Qingyi and stopped right in front of Sect Leader Qi.

She clutched her robe, pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and then, with a flick of her sleeve, knelt down on one knee.

She took a breath, brought her other leg down, and said, “I should kneel.”

“Little Mother, she…”

Slap A blow landed across Lin Yumo’s face.

Sect Leader Qi pointed at her. “Silence! What are you saying!”

The slap left a red mark on Lin Yumo’s face. This was the first time she had ever been slapped in her life.

Lin Yumo lowered her head, her nose tingling with sorrow. She forcefully held back the tears in her eyes and said, “Immortal of Wine was far more valuable to the Immortal Families than I am, yet she died because of me. I should kneel.”

“Sect Leader Qi.”

“I should kneel.”

“Even if you told Lin Yumo to kowtow to you, I would have no regrets.”

Sect Leader Qi looked down at Lin Yumo, saying nothing, but her expression told Lin Yumo that she was indeed waiting for her to kowtow.

Lin Yumo gritted her teeth. Her straight back began to bend, her hands folded neatly in front of her. Her head slowly lowered toward the ground, but just before it reached the floor, it was caught by a hand.

A dark figure stood in front of Lin Yumo, lifting her head.

There was a hint of aggression in Wei Qingyi’s eyes. “Qi Yuan.”

The elders of the Immortal Families present were shocked, but none dared to speak.

Not only was White Emperor City ranked first among the Immortal Families, but Qi Yuan was also the leader of the founding Immortal Venerables. Based on age and seniority, Wei Qingyi should not have called her by her given name.

Even Qi Yuan, upon hearing Wei Qingyi address her like that, felt her hand on the staff tremble slightly.

The world knew that Wei Qingyi was inherently domineering, prone to beating anyone she disliked. In her own words, ‘A beating will make them behave.’

They knew she was reckless, but they didn’t expect her to be this reckless.

Wei Qingyi pulled Lin Yumo up abruptly, with such force that Lin Yumo almost lost her footing.

She said, “What do you think you are, to be worthy of having my disciple kowtow to you?”

“Don’t forget, back then, my Junior Sister Xu Mo, in order to save your life, risked poisoning herself just to find medicine for you.”

“If not for my Junior Sister, would you have lived until today? Could your White Emperor City even have a discussion of inheritance?”

“You, Qi Yuan, truly know how to repay kindness with enmity and lay the blame on others, colluding with Yao Qi to poison my Junior Sister, forcing her and Qi Shiyu apart for twenty years, leading to her death in depression.”

“The only reason I, Wei Qingyi, haven’t slaughtered your entire White Emperor City is because I didn’t want my Junior Sister’s suffering to be in vain! Otherwise, do you think your White Emperor City would still exist today!”

An elder from Shuiyun Tian found Wei Qingyi’s words hard to bear. He said, “Cloud Shadow Immortal Venerable, the Immortal Sects were initially established to resist the Demon Race, not to engage in infighting. Furthermore, one shouldn’t bully the weak based on one’s own strength, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t one lose their righteous heart?” He was subtly admonishing Wei Qingyi, suggesting that she was shamelessly taking advantage of her power to bully others.

Wei Qingyi turned sideways, gave a sidelong glance at the Shuiyun Tian elder, and coldly said, “Go on.”

The elder wiped the sweat from his brow. “And… and… your Xuanling Mountain didn’t suffer any losses, while my Shuiyun Tian lost a genius who had mastered the Forty-Six Swords of Cloud and Water…”
