A righteous young hero? But I am a demonic cultist.

Chapter 38 Dark Clouds Loom Overhead, The Demonic Transformation

The Six Immortals of Peach Valley are clearly determined to take Yue Yuan away today, whether he lives or dies.

The group formed a triangle, with Tao Genxian as the arrowhead, and charged straight towards Yue Yuan.

Yue Yuan knew that the most powerful thing about the group was their combined attack technique. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and used a triple-layered cloud technique to leave the cliff.

As soon as he flew away, the rocks behind him were blasted into pieces.

He quickly distanced himself from the others, becoming extremely vigilant.

This combined attack technique is indeed powerful; it cannot be defeated by force.

But these people relentlessly pursued him, unleashing one deadly attack after another, leaving him with no way to avoid them.

With his life hanging in the balance, there was no need for him to hide anything any longer. He began to rapidly circulate the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Art, planted his feet in a bow stance, and met Tao Genxian's palms together.

The combined attack of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley was not so easy to withstand. This attack directly shattered a part of his meridians. The meridians that he had painstakingly repaired last time suffered another devastating blow.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown more than ten steps before crashing into a cliff and coming to a stop.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and swallowed the metallic taste.

The Six Immortals of Peach Valley jumped around excitedly, like wild monkeys on Mount Emei. After a while, the eldest, Peach Root Immortal, sneered:

"Kid, besides Monk Bujie, you're the first person who can withstand our attack. But what comes next won't be so easy."

After saying that, the others quickly stood behind Tao Genxian and put their arms around his back.

This wasn't the first time Yue Yuan had encountered such a life-or-death moment along the way. Since relying on internal strength was useless, he would absorb all their true energy and see how they could launch a combined attack without internal strength.

Instead of retreating, Yue Yuan advanced, slamming his palm against the cliff and using the recoil to propel himself directly towards the Six Immortals of Peach Valley.

Tao Genxian's eyes were full of disdain when he saw that Yue Yuan still dared to make a move. He did not use his full strength, but rather made a casual strike.

This time they were careless. Yue Yuan was not killed as they had imagined. Instead, he was firmly attached to their palms, and the internal force they had unleashed was as silent as a mud ox entering the sea.

At this moment, Yue Yuan was like a black hole. When he absorbed Tao Genxian's palms, he turned his body's suction force to the maximum, and the true energy of the others continuously surged towards Yue Yuan's body.

Tao Genxian's expression changed drastically, and he angrily shouted, "Boy, stop right now, or we'll beat you to death!"

As the six men's inner energy flowed into his body, Yue Yuan's eyes turned bloodshot. "Hahaha, stop! Why didn't you stop when you were hitting me? This is karma." He then intensified his absorption of their inner energy. "You can't kill me now. It's your turn to die."

The Heavenly Silkworm Demon Art lived up to its reputation as a top-tier demonic art. After the true energy of the others entered Yue Yuan's body, his body began to slowly repair itself, successfully transforming their true energy into nutrients to nourish his body.

In just over ten breaths, the last three of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley collapsed. A little while later, the other two also collapsed, leaving only Peach Root Immortal struggling to hold on.

Seeing this, Yue Yuan stopped the suction force and directly struck Tao Genxian in the chest with a palm, sending him flying.

"Awesome! Hahaha," he laughed maniacally, having thoroughly consumed the true energy of the six people.

Feeling the abundant true energy in his dantian, Yue Yuan laughed wildly.

The six Peach Valley Immortals lying on the ground have now become the six Peach Valley Monsters. They were already strangely shaped, but now they are even stranger.

From plump little old men, they have become short and withered old men, their internal strength completely drained, and even their life essence completely absorbed.

Tao Genxian lay on the ground, pointing at Yue Yuan and angrily cursing, "You...you actually practiced demonic arts!"

"Hahaha, I am a member of the Demonic Sect, what's wrong with me practicing demonic arts?" He walked up to Tao Genxian and lifted him up.

"You deformed and grotesque creatures dare to call yourselves immortals? Since you want to be immortals so much, then I'll send you to be one." He activated his demonic power, and the surrounding true energy began to materialize. With one palm, he smashed Peach Root Immortal's head into a rotten watermelon.

"Big Brother!" the five shouted in unison.

Yue Yuan casually tossed Tao Genxian's corpse off the cliff. "Don't rush, your turn is next." With that, he used his hands and feet to kick all five of them off the cliff.

Thoughts are clear and open.

His affair with Yilin was a private matter between the two of them. Why should others decide his life or death? He made up his mind that from now on, he would kill any more people who would inexplicably come knocking on his door.

Once this thought came to mind, his martial arts level seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough.

He dared not delay, and immediately sat down cross-legged facing the cliff, beginning to circulate his demonic power.

The true energy widened and strengthened the meridians that had just been repaired, and breaking through the bottleneck of the Small Heavenly Circuit was just around the corner. Affected by him, the surrounding air formed a huge vortex around him.

At the center of the vortex, Yue Yuan's true energy began to surge and impact his Ren and Du meridians. If he could break through this time, he would be able to enter the ranks of first-class masters.

Unfortunately, his inner energy was running out and he couldn't break through the barrier.

His commotion startled Feng Qingyang, who was resting in the distance.

He quickly climbed the Cliff of Contemplation and immediately saw Yue Yuan, who was in the eye of the storm.

"Dark clouds loom overhead, and demonic energy swirls around."

Feng Qingyang was shocked. This was a sign of demonic possession. Yue Yuan had actually become a demon?

His face was gloomy as he looked at Yue Yuan in the arena, recalling the moments they had spent together.

Alas, I thought we were close friends despite our age difference, but it turns out you practice demonic arts. Since you have already fallen into demonic ways, I cannot let you live.

He conjured a wisp of sword energy in his hand and shot it swiftly toward Yue Yuan.

Just then, Yue Yuan opened his eyes, rolled to the side, and dodged the sword energy.

"Old Feng, all my chicken legs and good wine were fed to the dogs, and you actually want to kill me!"

A look of disbelief crossed Yue Yuan's face. He had expected Linghu Chong to make a move, but he never expected him to.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang said, "Since ancient times, good and evil have been irreconcilable. You already show signs of falling into evil. If you are not eliminated now, I'm afraid that in time you will become the next Dongfang Bubai."

Hahaha......

Yue Yuan laughed, pointing at Feng Qingyang and saying, "And Dongfang Bubai? Did Dongfang Bubai kill more righteous people, or did you righteous people kill each other more?"

Feng Qingyang remained silent.

"What, you don't want to talk about it? Then I will." Yue Yuan stood up, pointed at Feng Qingyang and said, "In the sword qi conflict, the Huashan disciples were almost all killed. Was this the work of the Demonic Sect? Zuo Lengchan instigated the fighting among the various sword sects. Is he also a member of the Demonic Sect? The Demonic Sect is a trap. Everything is attributed to the Demonic Sect, but in reality, it was all done by self-proclaimed righteous people like you."

Feng Qingyang sighed, putting his hands behind his back, unwilling to look at him anymore. "Don't say anything more."

Yue Yuan laughed and said, "Old Feng, sometimes the justice you see is not justice. You are only suitable for sword practice. How can the distinction between good and evil in this world be made based on righteous sects and demonic sects?"

"No matter how eloquent you are, you cannot conceal the fact that you practice demonic arts. What is your purpose in entering Mount Hua?"

Yue Yuan gave a bitter smile: "I didn't have any purpose. I just wanted to live, but fate played a cruel trick on me. Everyone used me as a pawn, making me obey their every whim."

"But why should I let them manipulate me and serve their ambitions?"

"If that's the case, then I'll drag all these self-righteous chess players onto the chessboard one by one. They like playing chess, so let them play on the chessboard."

Feng Qingyang sighed, "You should leave. Don't stay on this Cliff of Repentance any longer; I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. However, you'd better not cause trouble for the martial arts world, otherwise..."

Yue Yuan stopped talking. He knew he couldn't persuade Feng Qingyang today, and he couldn't stay at the Cliff of Repentance any longer.

"Since you don't want to stay with me, then I'll head down the mountain. Take care, old man!"

He didn't linger; after saying goodbye to Feng Qingyang, he went down the mountain.

Feng Qingyang watched his departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He didn't know if letting Yue Yuan go today was the right or wrong thing to do, but he hoped he wouldn't regret it later.

If Yue Yuan were to wreak havoc on the martial world in the future, he would definitely take care of him personally.
