Seeing Qin Lu, the disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect smiled. They knew that Qin Lu’s strength was definitely not below that of Senior Sister Qingcheng. With him here, they didn’t need to fear these demons.

They have been wondering where Junior Brother Qin Lu went and why they have not seen him. However, it was good that he came. With him here, they would be saved.

Seeing Qin Lu, Ji Lie suddenly felt that he looked familiar. He seemed to have seen this face somewhere before.

“Who are you? Have we met before?”

Hearing Ji Lie ask him if he had seen Qin Lu before, Ye Qingcheng’s heart tightened, inexplicably.

Qin Lu didn’t make a move because he was afraid of being recognized by the demons. If Ji Lie recognized Qin Lu, then they would be in big trouble.

At this time, Qin Lu laughed and said, “Hall Master Ji, I’m afraid you remembered wrongly. We have never met before.”

In the past, when they were in the Demonic Sect Branch Hall, Qin Lu stayed with the Branch Hall Master for a period of time. At that time, Ji Lie often came to find their Branch Hall Master and saw his appearance.

Qin Lu was afraid that Ji Lie would recognize him, so he didn’t dare to show his face.

“No, we have met before. You are the little demon guard beside Hall Master Xing. You are a demonic sect disciple.”

After being recognized by Ji Li, Ye Qingcheng was shocked. Sure enough, he was still recognized. This was troublesome. Qin Lu’s identity couldn’t be hidden anymore.

Realizing that the other party recognized him, Qin Lu was stunned for a moment, then laughed. “Haha, Hall Master Ji really has a good memory. It has been so long, but you could still remember me.”

“Yes, I am the little demon guard beside Hall Master Xing. However, I am not a demon. I am a spy of the righteous path.”

“That branch is so hidden. Do you think it is so easy for the righteous path to find it?”“It was me who secretly sent a message to Qingcheng. Taking advantage of the time when you were in seclusion to break through, how could Qingcheng’s group destroy another branch near your branch?”

“Qin Lu, so the person who sent the message to me was you?” Ye Qingcheng was shocked.

Previously, she had received a secret letter saying that there was a demon branch somewhere. It asked her to destroy this branch within five days, and the letter also provided an overview of the strength of that branch.

She didn’t expect that the messenger she had been looking for was actually by her side. It turned out that Qin Lu was the great contributor behind the scenes.

“It turns out that you are not a demon but a spy! If I don’t kill you today, I will not be qualified to call myself a demon.”

“Kill me? I’m afraid you won’t be able to do it.”

“Qingcheng, take everyone and retreat further away. I’ll play with them.”

“Qin Lu, I’ll accompany you. This Ji Lie is very powerful!”

“Qingcheng, if you want to accompany me, you should do it at night. It’s broad daylight, aren’t you embarrassed?”

“Ah, you…” Ye Qingcheng’s face instantly turned red.

As for the female disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect, they were also shocked by Qin Lu’s words. He actually dared to flirt with Senior Sister Qingcheng in public. This Junior Brother Qin Lu, was too shameless!

“Alright, alright, I’ll be serious. You guys can watch from the side. If I can’t beat him, it won’t be too late for you to make a move!”

“Alright, then be careful.” Ye Qingcheng nodded.

At this time, Xiao Gu, who was on Ye Qingcheng’s shoulder, also shouted excitedly, “Father, teach him a lesson. Don’t give him a chance to hurt Mother again.”“Alright, alright, alright. Father knows!” Qin Lu smiled and then retracted his gaze.

Soon, Ye Qingcheng retreated with more than fifty disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect. Qin Lu also slowly took out a long sword, and simultaneously, a set of armor also appeared on his body.

Usually, he didn’t need to wear armor at all in battle. However, this Ji Lie was in the Nascent Soul Realm. He couldn’t fail in front of so many people.

“Brat, today I’ll kill you and bring your head back as an offering to the Hall Master.” As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Lie clenched his demonic sword and slashed toward Qin Lu.

Seeing Ji Lie attack, Qin Lu didn’t dare be careless. The spiritual sword in his hand directly slashed out. The first sword of the Firmament Nine Swords directly met Ji Lie’s sword slash.

The sword light and the sword shadow soon collided.

However, in just a breath’s time, Qin Lu’s sword shadow shattered, and a force directly shook Qin Lu back more than a hundred feet. The armor on his body directly blocked the remaining force, so he didn’t suffer any injuries.

“Oh, you have some skills. No wonder you’re so arrogant.”

“However, since this is the case, you can’t change the fact that you’re going to die today.”

“Is that so? It’s just the first sword, and you think you’ve won.”

“Ji Lie, take another sword of mine. It won’t be too late to be arrogant after you take this sword of mine.” As soon as his voice fell, the spiritual qi in Qin Lu’s body surged again. The spiritual sword in his hand instantly became dazzling.

He then waved his hand, and a sword light instantly slashed out. This sword strike was clearly much faster than the previous one.

Sensing the sword slashing toward him, Ji Lie’s expression changed, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. He mobilized his spiritual qi with all his might and even used the power of his Nascent Soul to desperately resist this sword.

As Qin Lu’s sword arrived, Ji Lie’s body slightly paused. Then he flew directly backward and didn’t stop until he was a hundred feet away.

The demonic sword in his hand broke directly, and a hideous wound appeared on his body.

Seeing Qin Lu’s second sword so overbearing, everyone present was dumbfounded. Only Xiao Gu, who was standing on Ye Qingcheng’s shoulder, was dancing with joy.

“Father, good hit, good hit.”
