Lingfeng hid behind Qing, hearing Mu Qiu's words, and quickly retorted, "Senior Sister Mu Qiu wanted to kill these people, but I stopped her. Master, I did the right thing, didn't I?"
Qingwei smiled and nodded, but upon seeing Mu Qiu's furious gaze, she couldn't help but swallow hard and quickly added, "But while the death penalty can be avoided, the punishment for living cannot!"
Lingfeng understood that Qing was not afraid of Mu Qiu; rather, it was because Mu Qiu was the most ruthless among his fellow disciples. If she truly got entangled with them, it would indeed be a headache.
"What will the Master do with them?" Lingfeng asked.
Qing had no answer. She looked at Mu Qiu and softly asked, "Junior Sister, how do you want to deal with them?"
Mu Qiu snorted, glanced at those people coldly, and said, "Kill them all!"
Everyone present was taken aback but dared not say anything. Only those Loyal Minions waiting to be slaughtered trembled in fear, awaiting their fate.
"Junior Sister, one should spare those who can be spared..."
"Don't give me that! I know that bad people must be eradicated!" Mu Qiu interrupted Qing without any hesitation, her tone devoid of emotion.
Seeing the situation unfold, Lingfeng realized it was likely up to Mu Qiu. He gritted his teeth and stepped out from behind Qing, standing seriously in front of Mu Qiu. "Senior Sister, they are innocent. If you really want to kill them, then kill me too!"
"And me!" At that moment, Wanshitong stepped out from the crowd, slightly nodding at Qing before standing resolutely in front of Lingfeng. "Lingfeng and I have sworn brotherhood. If you dare touch a hair on him, I will die for you to see!"
Mu Qiu looked at Wanshitong in disbelief.
"Qiu'er, I know your character and how deeply you feel for me. However, Lingfeng and I share the same temperament, so I cannot support your actions!" Wanshitong said boldly without fear.
"You... you..." Seeing that no one was willing to help her, Mu Qiu's arrogance diminished significantly. She pointed at Wanshitong but couldn't utter anything coherent.
Wanshitong noticed Mu Qiu hesitating and turned to Lingfeng with a wry smile. "Brother, although we cannot be born on the same day of the same month in the same year, being able to die on the same day of the same month in the same year is already a blessing!"
"But big brother," Lingfeng said somewhat shyly, "I don't want to die yet. Let's think of another way!"
Wanshitong was taken aback for a moment, and then his facial muscles twitched violently, taking a breath of cold air in anger at Lingfeng's words.
"Master, I think it would be better to let them stay in the Demon Suppression Sect and work as gardeners. This way, we can not only limit their activities but also reform them!" Lingfeng suggested to Qing.
Qing pondered for a while, stroked his white beard, and his eyes lit up as he smiled, "This is indeed a good idea!" Without looking at Mu Qiu's reaction, he instructed Zihao, "Zihao, take some disciples and bring them back to the Demon Suppression Sect!"
"Yes!" Zihao quickly cupped his fists in response and then led some disciples to escort those people back to the Demon Suppression Sect. He also took some other disciples to retrieve the lost celestial fruits.
And so the matter was resolved, but personal issues remained unsolved.
Lingfeng and the others returned to the Demon Suppression Sect, while Mu Qiu walked directly towards Wood Peak without saying a word.
Wanshitong watched Mu Qiu's departing figure, wanting to say something but hesitating, ultimately standing there in a daze.
"Wanshitong, I didn't expect you to have the courage to come back!" Qing remarked while looking at Mu Qiu's back.
Wanshitong sighed helplessly and replied, "This is probably fate!"
Although he was the top diviner in the Cultivation Realm, he still couldn't foresee his own destiny. Who would have thought that a stunning beauty would fall for a hundred-year-old Demon Cultivator? And who would have imagined that this love story would have a sequel because of Lingfeng?
"Big brother, I think you should go persuade her; otherwise, this matter won't be resolved anytime soon!" Lingfeng urged.
Wanshitong shook his head and turned around, saying, "Since the Qing Sect Leader has already emerged from seclusion, let's quickly inform him of the situation and leave as soon as possible!"
"Leave?" Qing looked at Wanshitong in confusion and then glanced at Lingfeng. "Are you all leaving?"
Lingfeng nodded, "Yes, I came back this time to place the Demon Relic in the Demon Suppression Sect, but there are still many issues that haven't been resolved!"
"What about Monkey Head now?" Qing asked anxiously.
Lingfeng pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "Monkey Head has already been taken to the Spirit Sect, and is currently cultivating at Demon Spirit Mountain!"
Qing appeared surprisingly calm, as if he had anticipated this outcome. He said, "Well, what is meant to come will eventually come."
"By the way, Sect Master," Lingfeng took out a copy of the Fire Control Scripture from Xuanji and placed it in Qing's hands. "This is the Fire Control Scripture that I stole from the Spirit Sect. I thought our Demon Suppression Sect's Fire Control Technique was too low-level, so I brought this back!"
Qing received the Fire Control Scripture and flipped through it. After a moment of silence, he said, "This Fire Control Scripture is a secret manual of the Divine Fork Yang State. Without their permission, we cannot keep it for ourselves. However, since you obtained it, you should keep it."
Lingfeng thought for a moment; Qing had a point. Moreover, since the Demon Suppression Sect primarily practiced Five Elemental Spells, having such a manual was not particularly significant.
The three of them arrived at the main hall with their own thoughts. Lingfeng instructed a disciple to bring some ginseng and then took out the Demon Relic.
"Sect Master, I thought about it and believe that the Demon Relic is safest in the Demon Suppression Sect, so I brought it back!" Lingfeng said first.
Qing nodded thoughtfully and said, "Looking at the Cultivation Realm, the Demon Suppression Sect is indeed the best place to store the Demon Relic. However, this Demon Relic has too much Demonic Nature; I'm afraid the Demon Suppression Sect doesn't have anything capable of suppressing it!"
The Demon Relic originally belonged to Demon God Chiyou and contains most of Chiyou's magical power. If not properly restrained, it would conflict with cultivators and cause unnecessary harm.
Lingfeng seemed to have already thought of a solution. He smiled mysteriously and casually said, "There's no need for the Sect Master to worry; I've already figured out how to restrain the Demonic Energy of the Demon Relic!"
"Oh!" Qing seemed intrigued, curious about what method this young one could possibly have.
Just as they were speaking, a knock sounded from outside.
Lingfeng walked over to open the door and saw a disciple holding a large bunch of ginseng.
Lingfeng took the ginseng and placed it on the ground, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Although this ginseng has spiritual properties, it is far inferior to the Demonic Nature of the Demon Relic," Qing said hesitantly.
Lingfeng shook his head and said mysteriously, "Do you know why the Demon Relic is with me but hasn't affected me?"
Qing suddenly realized that Lingfeng had been carrying the Demon Relic all along without any unusual occurrences. After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly asked, "Do you know how to suppress the Demonic Nature of the Demon Relic?"
"It's not that I know; it's something I discovered by accident!" With that, Lingfeng took out the Ivory Bone Knife and placed it near the Demon Relic. Immediately, both the Ivory Bone Knife and the Demon Relic emitted white and purple light simultaneously. Then, at the point where the two lights met, the white light suddenly vanished, while the purple light was diminished.
Qing then understood and exclaimed, "So it's using the spiritual properties of the Ivory Bone Knife to weaken the Demonic Nature of the Demon Relic!"
"Exactly!" Lingfeng continued, "The Ivory Bone Knife is a low-grade Celestial Fruit. Although its spiritual properties cannot compete with those of the Demon Relic, it can neutralize its Demonic Nature. While the Demonic Nature of the Demon Relic cannot be completely eliminated, what remains will no longer pose any harm to cultivators!"
Qing nodded in agreement, looking favorably at Lingfeng. He then added, "But the Demon Suppression Sect doesn't have any secret chambers or places to safely store the Demon Relic!"
The Demon Suppression Sect has always been a righteous sect; aside from needing a slightly concealed Dan Room for alchemy, there are no secret chambers for anything unsavory.
However, Lingfeng had a solution and smiled nonchalantly, saying, "Don't worry, Sect Master. I know a place that can safely store the Demon Relic!"
"You?" Qing looked at Lingfeng in confusion.
Lingfeng smiled without saying a word and then led the way out of the door, heading down the mountain.
Qing and Wanshitong followed behind until they arrived at the academy.
The academy remained the same as ever. Ever since Lame Li left, there had been hardly any changes here. Even with new disciples, they were arranged to study elsewhere.
At this moment, the academy was covered in dust, and cobwebs had formed on the beams.
Lingfeng took out the Illumination Talisman and recited the Incantation. Suddenly, life returned to the dimly lit academy. The Iron Crane was still there, and there were no unusual phenomena on the bookshelves. The books had become tattered and incomplete, seemingly having been the target of mice for years.
“Lingfeng, why are you here?” Qing still did not understand what Lingfeng intended to do. As he pulled down a spider web, he asked.
Lingfeng smiled and twisted the head of the Iron Crane according to the method for opening the secret chamber. With a chilling creak, the study slowly opened.
Qing stood frozen in place, unable to believe that after being the leader of the Demon Suppression Sect for so many years, he had no idea there was a secret chamber right in the academy.
“What... what is going on?” Qing hurriedly asked.
Lingfeng shook his head, standing at the entrance of the secret chamber with a puzzled expression. “I was just playing around back then. I intended to twist off the head of this Iron Crane but unexpectedly discovered this secret chamber!”
Lingfeng felt grateful for the secret chamber and the Falling Leaves Technique. Although he did not know Lame Li's intentions, it was he who set Lingfeng on the path of dual cultivation in Celestial and Demonic practices. Moreover, without the Falling Leaves Technique, Lingfeng's cultivation would not have progressed so rapidly; he might even have been considered talentless.
Though such a playful explanation seemed somewhat far-fetched, given Qing's understanding of Lingfeng, such things were not surprising at all.
