The thing that was about to awaken appeared to have sensed something and returned to its slumber.

The sword attack displayed significant assertiveness, effectively thwarting the assault of the five demons at the Golden Core Stage.

A hand suddenly wrapped around Ye Qingcheng’s waist. Before Ye Qingcheng could react, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

Boom…

The five demon attacks and the sword light both erupted, and the area fell into silence.

One of the demons shouted loudly, sensing that someone had made a move, “Who dares to ruin the chance we got?”

Hearing this demon’s angry tone of voice, the female disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect were stunned.

Did someone save Senior Sister Qingcheng? That’s great.

When everything quieted down, everyone noticed that Ye Qingcheng was being held not far away by a man in white. His body was surrounded by spiritual energy, giving people an indescribable feeling that he was a divine god.

Seeing the person who saved Ye Qingcheng, several female disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect couldn’t help but exclaim, “Junior Brother Qin Lu.”

“Great, Junior Brother Qin Lu is here; Senior Sister Qingcheng is saved.”

“Boy, who are you?”

“Noisy.” Qin Lu spat it out coldly.

A swift sword light rushed straight towards the demonic cultivator, who spoke as he waved the long spiritual sword in his hand.

Sensing Qin Lu’s sword light, the demon’s expression changed, and he hurriedly waved his sword to block.

This sword immediately sent the demon in the middle stage of the Golden Realm flying, and what followed after that was a scream.

Qin Lu’s attack directly severed the demon’s sword and split one of his arms in half.

The onlookers were startled by the gut-wrenching scream of the demonic cultivator. Qin Lu’s sword was too imposing.

“You…your strength has improved again?”“It has become a little stronger.”

“Miss Ye, have you recovered?”

“If you’ve recovered, then let go of me first.”

Just now, he was afraid that she would be injured, so in a hurry, he pulled her into his arms to protect her.

But after he let her go, he suddenly realized that Ye Qingcheng’s hands were wrapped around his neck.

Her soft body was pressing against his as well, and the distinctive scent of a woman roused his senses.

A typical man was Qin Lu. Some of his thoughts start to stir when he is suddenly stimulated by these things.

If this continued, he was worried that he would lose control, so he hurriedly spoke up to break the situation.

Ye Qingcheng’s face turned red as she realized that her current appearance with Qin Lu was too ambiguous.

She hurriedly released Qin Lu and left his embrace.

“Qin Lu, thank you!”

Miss Ye, if you want to thank me, say it later. Let me take care of these eyesores first.”

With that, Qin Lu walked towards the five devil race powerhouses.

“You guys want to kill her, right?”

“Then leave your lives behind for me.” As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Lu brandished his longsword and rushed towards the five devil experts.

Seeing Qin Lu’s prowess, the faces of the five Demonic Sect experts changed. They didn’t dare take Qin Lu’s attack head-on, so they turned and ran.

After a few moves, the two middle-stage Golden Core Demonic Sect experts were killed, and the rest fled.

As for the other nine Core Formation Stage Demon Clan cultivators,

After Qin Lu appeared, they knew that the situation was not right and had long since fled.A crisis was thus resolved.

The female disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect cheered when they saw Qin Lu drive the demonic cultivators away. They were saved!

After beating away those Demonic Sect powerhouses, Qin Lu walked back.

When he saw Ye Qingcheng again, he suddenly thought of the scene when they were together just now, and some thoughts began to stir again. [Uh, damn it, how could I have such thoughts? Damn it, stop thinking about it! Stop thinking about it!]. Ye Qingcheng hurried over after sensing something wasn’t right with Qin Lu.

“Qin Lu, what’s wrong with you?”

“No, nothing!”

‘What’s wrong with you? How did your cultivation suddenly increase so much?’

“I used a secret method, so it’s like this!”

“Miss Ye.”

“Cough, cough, call me by my name. You’re treating me like an outsider!”

“Qingcheng, although there are many demons, with your strength, it’s not difficult to defeat them! Why?”

“How could you be forced to use a secret method?”

He had seen the battle between Ye Qingcheng and the Demonic Sect Hall Master.

That Hall Master was already at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. At that time, Ye Qingcheng had defeated him. Although it was a very difficult fight, she still won in the end.

Now that she was dealing with only a few Golden Core Stage cultivators, she was forced into such a state!

“I’m restricted by something and can only use 70% of my strength.”

“Originally, I thought that I could use a secret method to kill them, but I didn’t expect that the secret method was also restricted, so it’s like this!”

True, these demons were nothing in her eyes with her original strength. However, her cultivation is currently restricted. Otherwise, how could she be put in this predicament?

“Restriction—what kind of restriction?”

Qin Lu was perplexed: “Why can’t I feel the restriction?” Could it be that she was constrained because she wanted to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage?

“It’s precisely because of this, because of this thing, that my strength is restricted.”

With that, Ye Qingcheng took out a purple ball of light.
