Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

Demon Mountain.

Xiao Bai and Lin Yaoyao were leisurely strolling around the periphery of Demon Mountain.

They had already found the tokens, so wandering around the outer edges of Demon Mountain was just to collect some spiritual plants to aid their cultivation back home.

Relying on their master to obtain cultivation resources was too difficult.

They had to rely on themselves for everything; cultivation resources had to be found on their own.

Most of the spiritual plants in Demon Mountain were guarded by demonic beasts.

However, in the outer areas, Er Ha and Xiao Lan were absolute overlords.

Lin Yaoyao and Xiao Bai didn't need to do anything; a bark from Xiao Lan or a glance from Er Ha, and the demonic beasts would automatically make way.

While picking spiritual herbs, Xiao Bai and Lin Yaoyao also collected many tokens, intending to sell them.

These tokens represented qualification for the second round of the competition and were very valuable.

There was no other way, the Xiaoyao Peak was poor.

They could only rely on selling tokens to earn what they needed for cultivation.

Anyway, they were just picking them up.

"Senior Sister, we've picked up so many tokens this time, we can eat barbecue!" Xiao Bai said with a smile, holding a pile of spiritual herbs.

"All you ever think about is eating," Lin Yaoyao said unhappily.

"It's not that I like to eat, but the meat Master roasted last time was too tempting," Xiao Bai muttered.

He still couldn't forget that aroma.

"That's true," Lin Yaoyao nodded.

As the two were walking leisurely, several disheveled Xinghe Sect disciples suddenly appeared before them.

They were all disciples of Tianjian Peak.

When those Tianjian Peak disciples saw Lin Yaoyao and Xiao Bai, they immediately ran behind them.

"There are Xiaoyao Peak disciples here; the traps in the outer area have nothing to do with Tianjian Peak. Look for the Xiaoyao Peak disciples," one of the Tianjian Peak disciples shouted at the top of his lungs.

Before long, the Demonic Sect disciples caught up.

"Hmph, daring to set up traps to harm my Demonic Sect disciples, I won't spare you!" a Demonic Sect disciple coldly snorted.

Just now,

the Tianjian Peak disciples, relying on a formation, lured the Demonic Sect disciples into it.

However, the Demonic Sect disciples had been aware of this for some time, so they were extremely cautious when tracking them.

The Tianjian Peak disciples were also relatively impatient, activating the formation before all the Demonic Sect disciples were inside.

As a result, most of the Demonic Sect disciples were outside, with only four or five trapped.

After killing four or five Demonic Sect disciples, the Tianjian Peak disciples originally wanted to take this opportunity to kill more and gain merit.

However, once they exchanged blows, they realized they were no match at all.

They could only flee for their lives.

The Demonic Sect disciples were chasing after them, their eyes already bloodshot from killing.

Seeing Lin Yaoyao and Xiao Bai, the Tianjian Peak disciples shifted the blame onto them and fled.

When the Demonic Sect disciples saw Lin Yaoyao and Xiao Bai, they immediately charged over with their swords.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you," Lin Yaoyao said, watching from the spot.

She would only step in if Xiao Bai couldn't handle it.

The moment the Demonic Sect disciples charged over, Xiao Bai's eyes turned pitch black.

Those Demonic Sect disciples all paused for a moment, inexplicably feeling a sense of panic.

"Er Ha, go!" Xiao Bai patted Er Ha's head, and Er Ha quickly darted out.

Xiao Bai transformed spiritual energy into a long halberd, his two small and tender hands tightly gripping the nine-foot-long weapon.

Afraid that Xiao Bai couldn't hold it properly, Lin Yaoyao specially helped him by injecting a bit of spiritual energy into him from the air.

Xiao Bai's spiritual energy instantly surged, and with a sweep of the halberd, he sent more than a dozen Demonic Sect disciples flying.

Then, stepping on Er Ha, he charged forward with the spiritual halberd in hand.

"Xiao Bai hasn't learned the Xinghe Reincarnation Swordplay; his attack moves are too simple. I'll have to teach him when we get back," Lin Yaoyao commented, standing in place.

Behind Lin Yaoyao, those Tianjian Peak disciples, seeing that the Demonic Sect disciples had been stopped, breathed a sigh of relief as they hid behind the trees.

When they poked their heads out to look, they saw more than a dozen tokens at Lin Yaoyao's feet.

The Tianjian Peak disciples exchanged glances and quietly walked forward, reaching out to grab the tokens.

As the Tianjian Peak disciple's hand grasped a token, Lin Yaoyao's spiritual sword descended, directly piercing through his hand.

"Ah!"

The Tianjian Peak disciple roared in pain, withdrawing his hand.

"You... you dare attack a fellow disciple? The Sect Leader won't spare you, and neither will my Tianjian Peak!" another Tianjian Peak disciple said.

Lin Yaoyao's expression was calm, and she said indifferently, "It's one thing for you to shift the blame onto us, but now you want to steal the tokens of Xiao Bai and me?"

"The only reason I haven't killed you is out of consideration for our being fellow disciples."

"Xiaoyao Peak, just you wait; when we get back, we'll make your Xiaoyao Peak suffer!" the Tianjian Peak disciple said viciously.

Xiao Bai was chasing after the Demonic Sect disciples in front, already out of Lin Yaoyao's sight.

The Demonic Sect disciples surrounded Xiao Bai.

"Now, I can finally fight without holding back," Xiao Bai cracked his knuckles.

He hadn't wanted to use his full abilities while Senior Sister was watching.

But now, he could kill without restraint.

"You're just a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator; killing you is as easy as slaughtering a pig!" a Demonic Sect disciple said fiercely.

"You are the first person who dares to say such a thing to this Emperor," Xiao Bai said coldly.

"With a flick of my finger, Xiao Bai can obliterate you all!"

"This Emperor?" The Demonic Sect disciple was stunned for a moment.

Before he could react, the scene before him filled him with immense horror, and his legs trembled.

He saw a demonic soul condense on Xiao Bai's body, wearing an imperial crown, sitting high on a throne, its eyes cold, radiating supreme pressure.

"It's a pity that my demonic energy is depleted, and my demonic powers are gone. I can only condense one-thousandth of my peak power," Xiao Bai said with some regret.

That demonic soul was a separated soul he had condensed when practicing the Joyful Demon Codex.

"Demon... Demon... Demon Emperor!" The Demonic Sect disciple exclaimed, all of them prostrating themselves on the ground.

"It's too late to realize that now!"

Xiao Bai said coldly, then gently waved his small hand, and the demonic soul slashed down with the long halberd!

Buzz!

The halberd directly harvested the souls and all the demonic energy of the Demonic Sect disciples, then swallowed it in one gulp.

"Although it's a little less, even a mosquito's legs are still meat," Xiao Bai said contentedly.

He put away his separated soul and walked towards Er Ha.

Er Ha, at this moment, was scared stiff, not daring to look at Xiao Bai.

It had felt the Demon Emperor's pressure; it was too terrifying, too frightening for a dog.

"Er Ha, it's your honor to be this Emperor's mount, you know that?" Xiao Bai patted Er Ha's head.

Only then did Er Ha react, sticking out its tongue and running back.

As he went back, Xiao Bai saw that the Tianjian Peak disciples seemed to be making things difficult for his Senior Sister.

"Heh, you're courting death," Xiao Bai said coldly.

"Xiaoyao Peak, just you wait; when we get back, we'll definitely make your Xiaoyao Peak suffer."

Hearing these words, Xiao Bai condensed a long halberd in one hand, rode Er Ha and quickly charged over, sweeping two of them away with a single blow.

"Xiao Bai, what are you doing?" Lin Yaoyao turned her head and questioned loudly.

"Senior Sister, don't be soft-hearted. They're going back to deal with our Xiaoyao Peak, so we'll just kill them," Xiao Bai said, looking at his Senior Sister.

"You... you wouldn't dare kill us, would you?" The Tianjian Peak disciples were cowed, unable to help but retreat.

They sensed the baleful aura on Xiao Bai's body; it was very terrifying.

"Anyway, no one saw it. We can just push the blame onto the Demonic Sect later," Xiao Bai said coldly.

Hearing these words, the Tianjian Peak disciples' eyes widened instantly, their knees weakened, and they knelt down.

"We were wrong, we won't dare anymore, please spare us, Senior Sister, Senior Brother!"

Xiao Bai raised the halberd, about to attack, when Lin Yaoyao reached out to stop him.

"Xiao Bai, let it go. After all, they're fellow disciples, and there's no life-or-death feud. Spare their lives," Lin Yaoyao said, looking at Xiao Bai.

"Alright, I'll listen to Senior Sister," Xiao Bai put away the halberd.

He had gotten carried away with killing and hadn't stopped in time.

If Lin Yaoyao hadn't stopped him, Xiao Bai would definitely have killed them.

For Xiao Bai, killing didn't need a reason.
