Chapter 7: Swear to God

Throwing Xu Qiuying to the ground, the three men began to undress, their faces revealing devilish smiles.

Xu Qiuying leaned her back against the big tree, kneeling on the ground, her delicate body like a soft, squishy candy, unable to even lift a finger.

"Junior Sister Xu, if you can't resist, then just enjoy it!" The scrawny male Disciple grabbed Xu Qiuying's chin, forcefully prying open her cherry-red mouth.

Beside him, the dark-eyed male Disciple smiled even more brightly: "What a pair of red lips, pearly teeth, and fragrant tongue! As expected of a virgin!"

The last short male Disciple even lowered his head, leaned close to Xu Qiuying's temple, took a deep breath, and laughed obscenely: "What an alluring scent!"

The three men laughed more and more exaggeratedly, and Xu Qiuying's eyes were filled with fear and despair.

Her Cultivation was only at the third level of the Ling Yuan Realm. With her body unable to move, she couldn't use her Divine Ability at all, and her spiritual power couldn't circulate smoothly. At this moment, she couldn't even commit suicide.

"You all, won't die a good death!" Xu Qiuying screamed.

"Hahahahahaha…"

The three men, however, laughed even more wildly.

But the three men didn't notice that a thousand meters behind them, in the reed bushes, nine pairs of eyes were faintly staring this way.

Li Xing was naturally filled with righteous indignation. He hadn't expected that an Immortal Dao Sect like Lingquan Sect would have such scoundrels.

What was the difference between them and Reverse Demon Sect Disciples? They were even worse than Reverse Demon Sect Disciples!

At least, the Reverse Demon Sect Disciples Li Xing had encountered, aside from Cultivating Demonic Techniques and being unrestrained in matters of men and women, generally had a bottom line as human beings.

Most Reverse Demon Sect Disciples, due to their constant fighting outside, also carried a strong Jianghu temperament, the kind who would go through fire and water for their friends.

Although filled with righteous indignation, Li Xing did not act impulsively.

Heaven knows if the two enchanting Senior Sisters were enjoying this scene. Li Xing wasn't so great as to risk his life to save a woman he had never met.

Turning to look at the other six Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, Li Xing found that these guys were all expressionless, showing no signs of any inner turmoil.

These six had been like this the whole way, silent and extremely strange in personality.

Li Xing didn't even know their specific names.

However, in the Reverse Demon Sect, strange personalities were normal; normal personalities were strange.

In front, hair-pulling, face-slapping, and clothes-tearing had already begun; it was clearly going to be a big show.

Tang Xueling finally spoke, a deep look of disdain on her charming melon-seed face: "See? This is what they call Righteous Path Schools. Normally, they're dressed impeccably, reciting the words of Saints. In reality, each and every one of them is so repressed that their psychology is twisted. When no one is around, they do things that aren't human!"

"Junior Sister, you're generalizing. There aren't many good people in our Reverse Demon Sect either!" Bai Zhirou giggled charmingly.

Tang Xueling ignored Bai Zhirou and instead ordered with a cold face: "Luo Ze, Chen Inkong, Zhang Fan, Li Xing… kill these three men, leave that woman!"

Before her voice had even faded, several whooshing sounds were heard. The six individuals, excluding Li Xing, shot out like sharp swords, their reaction speed as fast as arrows released from a bowstring.

Li Xing hadn't even had time to rush out when the one at the very front had already made a move. A powerful Saber Qi slashed down, forcing the scrawny male Disciple of Lingquan Sect to retreat repeatedly.

Before that male Disciple could counterattack, several Sword Qi stabbed in from the side, directly piercing his chest, delivering a fatal blow.

And the Reverse Demon Sect Disciple in mid-air furiously unleashed several Saber Qi, directly dismembering the man.

The other two Lingquan Sect Disciples also couldn't resist. They were both killed on the spot with a single exchange, their bodies scattered everywhere like building blocks on the ground.

By this time, Li Xing had only just rushed out less than ten zhang, and the battle was already over.

Li Xing cursed internally, "Damn it, you guys killed everyone, how am I supposed to get my 'certificate of allegiance' now!"

Also, these guys were usually more silent than the last, but now when it came to killing, they were more explosive than the last, as if they had conspired together. They were all in pairs, all instantly killing in one breath, completely not giving Li Xing a chance to intervene.

Tang Xueling and Bai Zhirou also hadn't expected the battle to end so quickly. The three Inner Sect Disciples of Lingquan Sect were all at the seventh or eighth level of the Ling Yuan Realm, while among the seven Disciples they brought, the highest Cultivation was Zhang Fan, an Inner Sect Disciple at the Peak of the tenth level of the Ling Yuan Realm.

As fellow Ling Yuan Realm cultivators, they shouldn't have been able to achieve a crushing victory; they should have been able to exchange a few blows at least.

In the end, the two women could only conclude that the three Lingquan Sect Disciples were too weak, only knowing how to use tricks and sneak attacks, with no real ability whatsoever.

The nine gathered again, looking at Xu Qiuying, who was slumped against the big tree, with some unkindness in their eyes.

Xu Qiuying naturally recognized the robes of the Reverse Demon Sect Disciples. Seeing the two demonic women and seven Demonic Qi-filled Demonic Sect Disciples, her heart turned even colder.

She had just escaped the wolf's den only to enter the tiger's lair!

Bai Zhirou suddenly said, "Junior Sister, kill her. Keeping her is a disaster!"

Tang Xueling rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, then revealed a playful smile. She suddenly turned to look at Li Xing: "Li Xing, when you started killing, you were the last one! Was it intentional? Did you have a sense of Dao and not want to kill Immortal Dao Disciples?"

Li Xing immediately shook his head: "Senior Sister Tang, you can't blame me for this. You saw it just now, in just one breath, those three Lingquan Sect Disciples were taken care of. I simply didn't have time to make a move!"

"That's all sophistry. If your hands haven't been stained with the blood of Immortal Dao Disciples, there's a high possibility that you're a spy or an undercover agent!" Tang Xueling's voice suddenly turned cold, and a chilling glint flickered in her eyes.

With that look, Li Xing had no doubt that if he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, Tang Xueling would strike him down.

Li Xing gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and no longer cared whether this Immortal Dao female Disciple was pitiful or not. He drew his Sword and fiercely gritted his teeth, saying, "Senior Sister, isn't it simple if you want proof? I'll kill her right now!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiuying felt relieved. Being killed directly at this moment was, for her, the greatest fortune.

Tang Xueling seemed to be able to read Xu Qiuying's mind. She chuckled and said, "Li Xing, look at her relieved expression. She clearly wants to die! If you kill her directly, you can also save her from humiliation. I think you're actually helping her. Your behavior is more like an Immortal Dao Disciple with a sense of Dao!"

After speaking, the smile on Tang Xueling's face instantly vanished, replaced by a lingering gaze.

Li Xing's heart tightened. He knew that Tang Xueling was joking on the surface, but in reality, she was suspicious of him.

Or rather, her suspicion of him had never been dispelled.

If he answered incorrectly even once, he feared that catastrophe awaited him.

The rules of the Demonic Sect were: better to kill a thousand innocent than let one guilty escape!

Not to mention, he was merely an Outer Sect Disciple!

Li Xing knew that he had to give her something drastic.

Immediately, Li Xing extended his right hand, pointing four fingers to the sky, and swore: "Senior Sister, if I am an undercover spy, may I be struck by five bolts of thunder, and may ninety-nine layers of Heavenly Tribulation descend upon me!"

As these words left his mouth, everyone present was moved.

Cultivators should not casually make vows. Once a vow is made, it leaves a mark in the Heavenly Dao.

If the vow is violated, a tribulation will mysteriously descend, causing the vow to come true.

Seeing Li Xing swear an oath, Bai Zhirou couldn't help but advise, "Junior Sister, since Junior Brother Li has sworn, let's just drop it!"

At this moment, Tang Xueling was deeply engrossed in self-doubt.

Xin Gan believed that Li Xing was most likely an undercover agent, because no Demonic Sect Disciple would intentionally restrain their desires.

Maintaining a virgin body after three years in the Demonic Sect was, in fact, the biggest flaw.

Another most suspicious point was that Li Xing had suddenly advanced from the fifth level of the Ling Yuan Realm to the sixth level of the Ling Yuan Realm.

Ten days ago, she had come into contact with Li Xing, and at that time, he was only at the Early Stage of the fifth level of the Ling Yuan Realm, still a long way from the sixth level of the Ling Yuan Realm.

Without obtaining Cultivation resources, it was impossible to improve so quickly.

Moreover, Li Xing had also said when he was confused that he only had one Profound Grade Medium Grade Hundred-Year Vermilion Fruit, and the spiritual energy contained within it was at most equivalent to a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

The ability to suddenly advance one Realm proved that Li Xing had suddenly obtained a large amount of resources.

From this point, it could be inferred that Li Xing was an undercover agent who had rendered great service to his Sect, which was why he had obtained Cultivation resources.

However, all of this was suspicion, and there was no concrete evidence, which was why Tang Xueling had not acted against Li Xing.

For that one instant just now, Tang Xueling had been prepared to kill Li Xing and directly search his Divine Soul.

Now, Li Xing had actually sworn an oath, which made her uncertain again.

Although spies might also swear oaths to save their lives, they certainly wouldn't be so straightforward.

One must know that her tone just now was merely a joke, and she hadn't even shown a hint of anger. If he were truly an Immortal Dao Disciple, he should have at least argued a bit.

"Could it be that Master was really mistaken? But this kid's sudden Realm advancement is an undeniable fact!" Tang Xueling felt some doubts in her heart.

Seeing Tang Xueling's silence, Li Xing breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Tang Xueling must have begun to doubt her own conjecture.

Thankfully, he was decisive enough to swear an oath right away.

But Tang Xueling's hesitation suggested that her suspicion hadn't been completely dispelled; there must be some reasonable conjecture.

Connecting it to his own changes, Li Xing quickly thought of his biggest loophole: his Realm!

Although the Sect Elder had suppressed his five Realms, it wasn't to keep his Realm permanently at the fifth level of the Ling Yuan Realm.

Once his Realm improved, his aura would also improve by one level.

In other words, he had broken through to the Fa Yuan Realm, but his current Realm had reached the sixth level of the Ling Yuan Realm.

Within just ten days, his Realm had advanced by one level, which looked like he had suddenly obtained Cultivation resources and improved his Cultivation Realm.

And at the critical juncture when the Young Sect Master of the Reverse Demon Sect was harmed, it would be strange if he wasn't suspected.

Thinking of this, Li Xing knew why Tang Xueling had been testing him all along. She probably had already determined in her heart that he was a spy.

With this thought, Li Xing didn't wait for Tang Xueling to ask and proactively revealed, "Senior Sister, are you suspecting why my Realm suddenly improved? Actually, it's because I suddenly awakened a Dual Spiritual Root, which caused my spiritual power to surge, thus improving my Realm."

After speaking, Li Xing gathered a bean-sized wind-elemental spiritual power, which spun in his palm.

Tang Xueling's crystal-clear, moist jade lips suddenly curved upwards, revealing a playful smile: "Li Xing, you are very clever to guess what I was suspecting. But by exposing your Dual Spiritual Root now, you are confessing without being prompted. Awakening another Spiritual Root not only requires talent but also a large number of Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicine for meridian cleansing! Don't tell me you awakened it yourself. You were originally just a Medium Grade Earth Spiritual Root, which proves your Aptitude was ordinary to begin with!"

Li Xing was already prepared. He directly spread his arms, dispersed the spiritual power around his body, and said with a calm expression, "Senior Sister, if I had recently consumed Spirit Medicine and Spirit Pills, there would definitely be residual traces in my body. With Senior Sister's methods, you can naturally detect them. I will now release all my spiritual power and let Senior Sister inspect me from the inside out. If there is even a trace of Spirit Pills or Spirit Medicine, I will accept any punishment from Senior Sister—being cut into a thousand pieces, or having my Divine Soul burned by the Purgatory Demonic Fire!"

Tang Xueling was stunned again. She never expected Li Xing to actually let her inspect his Physical Body.

Indeed, as long as one had consumed Spirit Pills or Spirit Medicine, some special spiritual and medicinal power would remain in the body.

Even a True Spirit Realm Master like her would need one or two months to completely refine the medicinal power of a Spirit Pill, let alone an Outer Sect Disciple at the Ling Yuan Realm like Li Xing.

"You think by saying that, I won't inspect you? Then you are gravely mistaken!"

Tang Xueling suddenly took a step forward, extended her fair and smooth jade palm, and pressed it against Li Xing's chest. A burst of Demonic Qi immediately permeated within, probing his Meridians inch by inch.
