Chapter Ninety-Two: Good or Evil?

Yun Chuxue paid him no attention. She severed Hua Jinxi's arms with two swords, then his legs with another pair.

"Ah..."

Blood gushed, staining the ground red. Hua Jinxi screamed in agony, weakly saying, "Yun Chuxue, aren't you afraid of the sect master..."

At that moment, a familiar voice sounded, "Yun Chuxue, kill him. What use is keeping trash like him?"

The master of the demonic sect appeared suddenly in the sky. He had been here all along, observing everything. Slowly descending, he stood behind Yun Chuxue.

"Master, save me."

Ignoring Hua Jinxi's plea for help, the sect master merely said to Yun Chuxue, "Yun Chuxue, go ahead."

Hua Jinxi, filled with bitterness, hoarsely shouted, "Why? Master, why!"

Still, the master of the demonic sect ignored him. Yun Chuxue's merciless sword fell, severing Hua Jinxi's head.

As for why Yun Chuxue did this, on her way to the Moon Lock Tower, she saw disciples from the tower bullying unarmed civilians everywhere. To address the problem at its source, she had to eliminate Hua Jinxi, the root cause of the trouble, and his disciples would no longer commit atrocities in his absence. She would deal with them gradually later.

At this moment, Huai Que approached and knelt down. "I pay my respects to the master."

The master paid him no mind, leaving Yun Chuxue with a single word before departing.

"Yun Chuxue, handle it yourself."

Yun Chuxue looked at Huai Que, feeling deeply disappointed. She couldn't believe he had joined the demonic sect.

"Huai Que, I'm deeply disappointed in you. I know you like me. When I started to have feelings for you, you did something so disgusting to me. Leave, and never let me see you again."

"Yun... Yun'er..."

Yun Chuxue ignored him, flying straight towards the warehouse of the Moon Lock Tower.

At the entrance to the warehouse, she kicked open the door and found three women inside.

She recognized these three; they had participated in the Elite Tournament of the Continent before: Hua Xueling, Hua Yueming, and Hua Qixiao.

Using her spiritual sense, Yun Chuxue discovered that none of them had practiced the demonic sect's techniques. She coldly instructed them, "Leave, and the farther, the better."

"Can... Can we go to the Spirit Master Guild?"

"You can."

The three of them knelt down in gratitude. "Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister."

With that, they quickly left.

Yun Chuxue found the warehouse storing herbs and, upon opening it, found a variety of spirit herbs, too numerous to count.

Immediately, Mo Xian took control of Yun Chuxue's body, found the spirit herbs needed, and began refining them.

"Yun Chuxue, luckily you have a fire attribute spiritual body. Otherwise, I don't know where we would find fire from."

Three hours later, they finally succeeded in refining a green pill, which lay before Yun Chuxue. Without hesitation, she swallowed it. The power of the pill flowed through her meridians into her spiritual sea, completely isolating demonic power from spiritual power.

Yun Chuxue suddenly felt relaxed and at ease, her eyes returning to their clear blue. Mo Xian asked, "What about the other disciples of the Moon Lock Tower?"

"Let them go. We should return to the Spirit Master Guild."

"It seems you miss your daughter."

Yun Chuxue smiled. Of course, she missed her daughter. After so many years, they would eventually reunite.

Yun Chuxue hurried towards the Spirit Master Guild, avoiding detection to save time by taking a detour. It took her a few days to reach the Holy Star City. From afar, she could see that the city was no longer as magnificent as before, with disciples of the demonic sect everywhere.

What surprised Yun Chuxue even more was the military camp set up by the Imperial Army near the west gate of the Holy Star City, stretching for thousands of miles. It was estimated that three to four million troops were stationed here.

"This place is not far from the Spirit Master Guild. No, I need to find a way to temporarily prevent them from attacking the Spirit Master Guild. The continent is now divided into two factions, one led by the demonic sect, which has unexpectedly extended its influence here. The other is the alliance led by the Spirit Master Guild and the West Cloud Empire. I must delay their attack to give the alliance more time to prepare."

At night, in the central military tent, several generals were celebrating with drinks.

"Next month, we will attack the Spirit Master Guild. Here's to our success."

"Cheers."

The general in the ghostly mask was Long Yu, the grand general of the Northern Huan Empire, known for his bravery and skill in battle, unstoppable.

On his left, the slender general was Ru Kong, the grand general of the Southern Yue Empire. Although he couldn't match Long Yu's military prowess, his strategy was considered the best on the continent.

On his right was Hui Xi, the grand general of the Eastern Yu Empire, also a valiant warrior like Long Yu, known for his courage.

These three generals, following the orders of the emperor, led the entire national forces to attack the Spirit Master Guild.

"General Long, now the Spirit Master Guild has built a wall stretching hundreds of miles outside Qingyun City. What should we do?" Hui Xi asked.

"Don't worry, Brother Hui. According to my observation, the West Cloud Empire's army is at most seventy thousand. We have nearly five million troops. What do we have to fear? Besides, the demonic sect said they would send disciples to harass them. Rest assured, after these months of harassment, I don't believe their morale will be so high. Besides, with me here, it won't be long before we destroy the West Cloud Empire," Long Yu reassured.

"Haha, with Brother Ru Kong here, we are at ease," they chuckled.

The three continued drinking, when suddenly, a figure in black robes appeared among them.

"What a pleasant atmosphere, gentlemen."

A clear, feminine voice rang out, immediately putting the three on guard, all wielding their weapons in preparation for combat.

"Who are you?"

"I am an elder of the Holy Sect."

"I've never heard of a powerful female elder in the Holy Sect." Long Yu questioned the black-robed figure skeptically.

"I won't beat around the bush. The sect master sent me to tell you not to attack the West Cloud Empire for the time being. Our sect will send many disciples to harass them."

Ru Kong frowned, questioning, "Couldn't any disciple have conveyed this message? Why did the sect send you? Isn't this unnecessary?"

Ru Kong's suspicion quickly led him to suspect Yun Chuxue's identity. Yun Chuxue calmly replied, "I am the leader of this operation. My goal is to assassinate Yu Shi, who is the greatest threat to our sect. The sect master sent me to assassinate him and to pass on this message."

"I see. Thank you, elder," Ru Kong said, though he still harbored doubts.

"No need. Carry on,"

In an instant, the figure in black robes disappeared.

The others resumed drinking, but Ru Kong was still shaken.

The figure in black robes flew to a distant place from the army before stopping. She removed her black robes, revealing an enticing figure. This person was Yun Chuxue.

"That Ru Kong is not easy to deal with."

"Let's return to the Spirit Master Guild."

"Agreed."

At dawn, just outside the city wall, a young woman in green clothing, wielding a long spear, fought alongside a spirit master against disciples of the demonic sect.

The woman in green was clearly at a disadvantage, retreating under the relentless assault, with over a dozen sword wounds on her body. The spirit master accompanying her had been killed by the demonic sect disciples, leaving her alone.

As the disciples prepared to strike her down, the sky suddenly changed dramatically, and several lightning bolts imbued with powerful spiritual energy struck down.

"Ah..."

"Ahh..."

...Instantly killing several of them.

The woman in green bowed respectfully, "Thank you for your help, senior."

A lightly clothed woman with a veil descended from the sky, looking at the woman before her and asking, "You're welcome. Why were you in conflict with disciples of the demonic sect here?"

"I am part of a patrol team, tasked with hunting down disciples of the demonic sect. It's just that I underestimated their strength because they practiced demonic sect techniques. This led to... sigh."

After the woman in green finished speaking, Yun Chuxue tried to move forward but was stopped by a long spear.

"Senior, where are you going?" The woman in green wielding the spear blocked Yun Chuxue's path and questioned, "How can I prove whether you are a good person or a member of the demonic sect sent here?"

"I'm going to the Spirit Master Guild," Yun Chuxue replied truthfully.

"How can I prove whether you are a good person or a member of the demonic sect?"
