Hatred List.
Of the 29 names initially on the list, almost 10 were no longer there.
Among the top three, only Liu Zhiyuan's son, Liu Feiyang, was left.
However, the number of enemies had increased substantially.
After more than 100 new profile pictures were added.
Quite a number of new names had overtaken old ones in the ranking.
And there was no lack of notorious people on the list.
Wei Bujuan's heart trembled.
Three of them had joined the club of hatred level 99. They were Lu Guiyuan's daughter, Lu Qingyao, Zhong Dashuai's niece, Li Yinghua, and Gu Xiaoqing's father, Gu Kuangren!
...
[Lu Qingyao: Foundation Establishment Level 9. Female, 29 years old. An ordinary disciple of Blue Sky Demonic Sect. Cultivates the demonic technique True Invincible Gui Water Technique.
...
Life -
...
Lu Qingyao admires the strong and often makes unrealistic comparisons of herself with others. She and Liu Feiyang were childhood sweethearts. After Liu Feiyang was sent by his father to Blue Sky Demonic Sect's holy land to cultivate, Lu Qingyao persuaded her father to drain the entire family's savings to send her to the holy land as well.
But after arriving in the holy land, she found that her aptitude was low. In addition, she could not compete with the other sect members in terms of medicinal pills and wealth.
Driven by her desire to excel, Lu Qingyao sold herself to a powerful demonic path figure as a human cauldron trainee. In so doing, she obtained financial and medicinal pill support from the powerful demonic path figure, and was finally able to cultivate to late-stage Foundation Establishment.
Right now, she's close to reaching Golden Core.
Once that happens, she will become a partner from which the powerful figure will 'steal and strengthen' himself from.
...
Lu Qingyao is cold-blooded by nature, and not willing to become someone else's human cauldron. She will certainly use her father's death to make a fuss in order to leave Blue Sky Demonic Sect.
She is not likely to seek revenge on you at the moment!
...
Innate Fate -
...
By Fair Means or Foul (Blue): Born to focus only on the gains, not the means to those gains. Has a 100% higher rate of survival than ordinary people in chaotic times.
...
Out-of-Water Hibiscus (Blue): Has bones made from hibiscus, and skin made from water. Born with pure and innocent facial features, very easily wins the favor and pity of men.
...
Short-sightedness (Gray): Only focuses on short-term benefits, never takes long-term plans into consideration]
...
Wow.
Wei Bujuan was beginning to suspect that his Qi Observation had secretly leveled up.
The information was so comprehensive this time?
At this rate, he would even be able to figure out what underwear Lu Qingyao was wearing!
"But...why give me such a long chunk of text? It's not fun to read without photos!"
"Besides, the rest of it doesn't matter. What's most important is that she probably won't come to seek revenge!"
Satisfied, Wei Bujuan scrolled down.
Immediately, there was more to rejoice about.
He found that Gu Kuangren was a late-stage Golden Core expert. However, with his life soon coming to an end, he decided to live in complete seclusion over the last 10 years, in order to make a final dash towards Nascent Soul. In recent years, he had almost never emerged. He was not likely to give Wei Bujuan any trouble!
"Seclusion is good, seclusion is good!"
"It's best if he continues to stay secluded just like me!"
Wei Bujuan repeatedly praised his old comrade's fighting spirit in spite of his age.
Finally, he fixed his eyes on the last person's information.
Slowly.
He began to frown.
...
[Li Yinghua: Foundation Establishment Level 9. Female, 17 years old. The first, true successor disciple of Huaqing Sect. Cultivates the Tianfu secret teachings - Pure Jade Talisman and Nine Heaven Ten Earth Demon-Cleansing Sword Technique. The current owner of Huaqing Sect's prized treasure, Purple Cultivation Sword.
...
Life: None (concealed by secret technique)
...
Innate Fate -
...
Innate Sword Fanatic (Purple): Born with a sword in hand, fated to be with swords in this life. Makes rapid progress in sword cultivation. Has the ability to challenge those at higher levels after cultivating just the basic levels of sword techniques.
...
Born Killer Star (Red): The birth of a killer star strikes terror in all directions! For every person killed, this person's strength increases. The higher the number of people killed, the faster this person's strength increases!
...
Note: Once a Born Killer Star is born, the world is doomed to face a killing tribulation. The Born Killer Star will be the protagonist of that tribulation, killing everyone in his or her path!
...
Karma Entanglement (Gray): Once the killings become excessive, even a person guarding the righteous path can suffer a backlash. With heavy negative karma, ordinary people will not be able to get close.]
...
A red-colored innate fate!
It was the first time Wei Bujuan had seen one.
Compared to Li Yinghua's innate fate...
Even the Taoist child Ah Yuan's two purple and one green were a few steps lower!
"I wonder what Li Yinghua is up to now..."
He was slightly afraid.
If a killer star like that came after him...
Would his big brother the heavenly tribulations be able to shield him?
"Something's not right!"
"If Li Yinghua is a true successor disciple of the orthodox Huaqing Sect, how could she be related to a Foundation Establishment cultivator of Black Frost Demonic Sect?"
Wei Buyan was extremely confused.
So with Li Yinghua and Zhong Dashuai as the center of his focus, he meticulously traced their connections on the network map.
The result left him speechless.
...
"Who would've expected Zhong Dashuai to be sent by the orthodox Huaqing Sect to Black Frost Demonic Sect as an undercover!
In his earlier years, the man had been an external affairs disciple of Huaqing Sect.
In terms of his identity.
He was the uncle of Li Yinghua, who had gotten his highly-talented niece into the sect in order to cultivate. Thereafter, he turned around and approved his new identity as an itinerant cultivator, and later got involved with Black Frost Demonic Sect..."
...
"Eh? Although Zhong Dashuai was just a small managing elder in the Yongzhou Branch, he managed to get involved with the sect leader's wife by sweet-talking her? The two engaged in dual cultivation on multiple occasions, and almost fell in love?"
"What?!"
"That Zhong Dashuai was probably unable to get out after becoming immersed in the sect leader's wife's embrace..."
...
"Tsk tsk tsk...As expected, Zhong Dashuai did cultivate Blood Cocoon Demonic Technique in private! And even became very close with some people from Blue Sky Demonic Sect. He clearly intended to become a two-faced person!"
...
Unfortunately, Li Yinghua probably did not know what Zhong Dashuai had been up to.
Her uncle's goodness was the only thing on her mind.
Therefore, after hearing of Zhong Dashuai's death.
She would definitely look for him to seek revenge.
Actually, Wei Bujuan was not afraid of her seeking revenge.
He was afraid that things would snowball further!
If Li Yinghua also died there.
The people of Huaqing Sect would not take things lying down, would they?
The way things were going.
Once everyone on the demonic path had been killed, those on the righteous path would be next. The death of one person would implicate another, and then another. At some point, he would definitely meet an expert!
He was now at a stage where he needed to develop quietly.
He really did not want to cause any trouble.
"Unfortunately, the heavenly tribulations can't be shut off at will. Otherwise, I would have turned them off and moved to a more secluded place."
Wei Bujuan shook his head and sighed.
Luckily.
Clear Wind Temple had not been built in a big city.
Otherwise, it would truly be criminal!
...

While it is being operated, the Sparrow-luring Ring will transform into a white stream of light with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Its defense is extremely strong.
...
3. Conveyance Light: The Sparrow-luring Ring can be used to enhance a conveyance light and greatly increase flying speed.]
...
Wei Bujuan's review was:
Average.
He had no intention to exchange for it.
...
[You have killed more than 10 demonic sect members. Your achievement - a new record for Eliminate Demons Defend Dao!
...
You have received the reward Energy +1]
...
"That's not bad."
Although points for acquired attributes were not as hard to earn as innate attributes.
Any improvement was good.
That wave of demonic sect members had given Wei Bujuan a total of two energy points.
To a certain extent, that made up for his innate weak constitution.
If even more people came.
He might max out his energy without needing to reconstruct his body at the Foundation Establishment stage!
Wei Bujuan got excited at the chance to transform from a weak scholar to a strapping man, with strength comparable to those of body cultivators.
"If we look at it that way..."
"It's not such a bad idea to have more demonic sect members come?"
...
After reading the notification.
Wei Bujuan's mood quickly returned to the calm and still nature of an ancient well.
Above his head.
True Fire of the Sun hurtled down as if it was free.
That gave him a bit of pressure.
At the same time.
He noticed that the area covered by the heavenly tribulation had increased significantly.
At that point, pitch-black tribulation clouds had already enveloped the mountain peaks in front and behind Clear Wind Temple...
Correspondingly.
Wei Bujuan's range of movement had increased by quite a bit.
At the beginning, he could only move around the pavilion.
Now, he could even walk to the vegetable garden and veranda!
"If the range of the heavenly tribulations continue to expand, won't I be able to wander around freely later?"
He let his thoughts run wild for a while.
Then after withstanding another fireball, Wei Bujuan once again entered into a meditative state. He admonished himself.
Did he see that?
Even the heavenly tribulations were working so hard.
What right did he have to rest?
This time, he chose a completely new physical cultivation technique, Wind Lightning Fist!
Wei Bujuan firmly believed.
That as long as he worked hard enough.
The result would be different this time!
"At the very least..."
"I shouldn't do too badly..."
...
...
Two days later.
Western Yongzhou.
Jade Dragon Mountain.
The hinterland of Huaqing Sect.
A beautiful and innocent young girl, with a strong heroic spirit between her brows, walked out of a secret realm.
She graciously greeted the row of elders outside.
Only after the greeting.
Did she impatiently ask the person next to her.
"Sect Leader Uncle, where's my uncle?"
...
