What kind of righteous sect is this?
Which righteous leader's residence is filled with bones everywhere?
The sll of blood hasn't even dissipated!
Ning Qianqian felt deceived again! None of these cultivators are good people! Everything they say is a lie!
It's over! She's going to be used as a blood offering by evil cultivators!
Chu Xingchen didn't have the mind to worry about the pale face of the girl beside him, as he was also quite angry.
When he left, the mountains were green and the water clear, the air was fresh, but now his ho was like a demon's lair.
At the entrance of the ruined temple, after setting down the silent Ning Qianqian, Chu Xingchen shouted loudly:
"What are you two little brats doing?"
Inside the ruined temple, Li Yingling rushed out first, her face full of excitent as she ran to hug her master.
"Master, you're finally back!"
Before Chu Xingchen could question her, Li Xingtian, covered in blood and with eyes red as if filled with endless killing intent, stepped out of the temple holding a tiger's head.
His first words upon seeing Chu Xingchen were the sa, though tinged with a sense of lant:
"Master, you're finally back."
Pushing Li Yingling away, Chu Xingchen pointed to the scene created by the animal heads and demanded:
"What is going on here?"
Li Yingling glanced over, understanding why her master was angry, and quickly shifted the bla:
"This is all caused by Junior Brother's cultivation!"
Ning Qianqian, who was standing to the side trembling with a glimr of hope, lost all hope upon hearing this.
Even though she didn't understand the cultivation world, a righteous sect shouldn't have such a bloody cultivation thod, right?
Ning Qianqian turned to look at the display of heads, feeling that her own head might soon be hanging there.
Chu Xingchen's gaze shifted to Li Xingtian, who was holding the tiger's head, his eyes filled with stern questioning.
Facing his master's gaze, Li Xingtian silently looked at his senior sister, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Most of the animals were caught by his senior sister, and technically, she was more responsible for the current situation.
After all, Li Xingtian initially planned to find a distant place to bury the bones in a pit.
It did look rather horrifying, and the sll was terrible.
But his senior sister thought it was too troubleso and suggested waiting until there were more to bury them all at once.
Li Xingtian felt that she only said that because her small house was sheltered from the wind, and she couldn't sll the stench at night.
But it was a minor issue, so Li Xingtian agreed. He got carried away with his cultivation and didn't notice the pile of corpses outside.
Seeing this scene upon returning, it was no wonder his master was angry.
But the truth was, as his senior sister said, the situation was indeed caused by his cultivation.
So Li Xingtian could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
"Sorry, Master, I've been too absorbed in my cultivation lately. I'll handle it right away."
Li Yingling glanced at Li Xingtian, who was going to deal with the bones, then focused on the small and pale Ning Qianqian beside her master, thinking she looked even worse than the second junior brother.
"Master... is this your new disciple?"
"No, it's the good work of the Qingfeng Sect." Chu Xingchen sighed, then gestured for Ning Qianqian to follow him into the ruined temple.
Ning Qianqian dared not go, timidly saying, "…I'll just stand at the door."
Seeing Ning Qianqian's pale face, Chu Xingchen understood she was frightened by the bloody scene and quickly explained:
"Don't worry, we really are a righteous sect, not evil cultivators. It's just that my second disciple's cultivation technique requires a solid foundation before reaching the Foundation Establishnt, using wild beast blood offerings."
Hearing this, Ning Qianqian looked at the pile of heads again, noticing there were no human heads, and her tension eased slightly.
She followed Chu Xingchen into the ruined temple.
Inside, the temple was tidy, not the hellish scene Ning Qianqian imagined.
Just an ordinary clean floor, no piles of heads, no bloody scenes, only two small wooden beds, simple and clean.
Two iron pots, one large, one small.
The large pot had so red blood boiling inside.
The small pot was clean.
Li Yingling followed them in.
Since starting to cultivate that unorthodox technique, Li Yingling and Li Xingtian had hunted all the animals they could find around.
After all, Ten-Li Slope wasn't a place where spiritual veins converged, with no exotic or spirit beasts, only ordinary animals for cultivation.
The efficiency wasn't high, so they had to rely on quantity.
"Master, how are things over there?" Li Yingling poured a cup of water from the flask on the table and handed it to her master.
Chu Xingchen shook his head slightly, "It's alright, but the Qingfeng Sect went too far."
"What do you an?" Li Yingling asked, puzzled.
Chu Xingchen briefly explained Ning Qianqian's situation and recounted his experiences at the mine.
After hearing the whole story, Li Yingling nodded calmly.
As a daughter of a noble family, she had heard of such ruthless things before.
Her own family had probably done similar things.
But that didn't an she agreed with it; most of the ti, she was powerless.
As an illegitimate child, Li Yingling's status in her original family was only slightly better than a servant.
Otherwise, her father wouldn't have arranged for her to marry a fool.
She looked at the silent Ning Qianqian with sympathy and comforted her:
"We'll do our best to help you, don't worry."
Ning Qianqian nodded silently, looking at Li Yingling with gratitude:
"Thank you, sister."
Chu Xingchen didn't say much, signaling Li Yingling to comfort Ning Qianqian, as won might empathize better with such matters.
Leaving the ruined temple, Chu Xingchen saw Li Xingtian handling and moving the wild beast bones. Without saying much, he went to help.
The bones weren't many, but most animals were large, making them seem nurous when spread out. Chu Xingchen raised his hand, sending a fla to burn them to ashes.
With a wave of his hand, he sent the ashes flying into the distance.

After finishing, Chu Xingchen didn't say much, taking out a simple map of the mine he had drawn and handing it to Li Xingtian.
"Is it difficult to rescue people from the mine?"
Li Xingtian glanced at the map and replied, "If Master were at the Nascent Soul Stage, it wouldn't be difficult at all."
Chu Xingchen remained silent.
Li Xingtian cleared his throat, "…Even at the Nascent Soul level, a swift operation is possible."
"I can only use the power of an Immaculate Golden Core now."
Rolling up the map, Li Xingtian didn't ask further, nor did he hesitate, saying seriously, "As long as the plan is detailed, it shouldn't be particularly difficult."
