Fairy Ji, I want to ask you a question.

The many demonic cultivators gathered outside the courtyard looked at each other, unable to figure out the situation for a moment.

Wu Renjie frowned slightly and tried shouting toward the courtyard:

"If you haven't found anyone, come out quickly. What are you dilly-dallying inside for?"

Strangely, no matter how he called out, there was never any response from inside the house.

Faced with such an eerie situation, many demonic cultivators began to panic, and one of them couldn't help but say:

"How come the people who went in have no movement? Could it be that there is something strange inside that house..."

Having said this, the man himself showed fear and said weakly:

"Do you think there is a powerful Senior hiding inside?"

As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately retorted loudly:

"Don't talk nonsense. This is the Outer Sect. How could a Senior from the sect have the leisure to come here!"

"Besides, if it were really a Yin Sha Sect Senior, they would have already come out and killed us when we were cursing outside just now. Would they need to hide in the house and play ghost?"

On this side, Chi Yinghu touched his bald head thoughtfully and said with a gloomy face:

"It is very likely that a maze-like Formation has been set up inside the house, causing those who entered to be trapped because they were caught off guard."

"Only a Formation can silently trap a group of people; otherwise, how could there not even be a ripple of magical combat?"

This reason was obviously more plausible and quickly drew approval from more people:

"Senior Brother Chi is truly brilliant; the truth must be exactly like that!"

"No wonder they dared to move into Courtyard No. 1 of Class A. It seems that guy still has some tricks up his sleeve."

"It's a pity they ran into us; today, they are destined to die a miserable death!"

"That's right. So what if they have some attainments in Formation? They can only turtle up in the house and dare not come out. With so many of us, each of us can break this tortoise shell with one finger..."

After pondering for a moment, Wu Renjie nodded and said to Chi Yinghu, who was beside him:

"Now, it's not just my people; your group of subordinates is also trapped inside."

"Since neither of us trusts the other, why don't we just swarm in and break the Formation in the house first."

Hearing this, Chi Yinghu narrowed his eyes and said grimly:

"Fine. I have a Soul-Slaughtering Awl, which is a top-grade Magical Artifact specifically for breaking Formations. It can come in handy now."

"After it is done, please make sure to hand this person over to me to deal with. This time, I will definitely let him know the consequences of offending me, Chi Yinghu!"

"Fine, no problem."

Wu Renjie did not refuse, just curled his lips into a ferocious smile, thinking silently:

After dealing with the unlucky guy inside, I will have a good fight with Chi Yinghu to decide who is the boss of the Blood Refining Peak!

Having said that, the two stopped talking nonsense and led their respective subordinates to rush toward the gate of Courtyard No. 1 of Class A aggressively...

I don't know how much time passed.

Swoosh!

A silvery-white light flashed and vanished, and Qi Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air. The entire teleportation process did not cause a single ripple.

At this moment, he felt refreshed and in a very good mood.

As the saying goes, a short separation is better than a newlywed. After a lingering discussion of the Dao, he also benefited a lot, which was worth half a month of hard cultivation.

However, when Qi Yuan saw the scene before him, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Everywhere he looked, there were layers of severed limbs, and the originally spacious room didn't even have a place to stand.

Even outside the house, it was filled with corpses scattered everywhere, estimated to be hundreds in number.

Judging from the attire of these dead people, they were all Outer Sect Disciples of the Blood Refining Peak.

More bizarrely, with so many corpses gathered together, there wasn't even a trace of a bloody smell in the air.

Could it be that my body is too weak now, and I am hallucinating?

Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan was a little confused and subconsciously rubbed his eyes...

After confirming that these were not hallucinations, he didn't know what he thought of, and immediately picked up the ningyuan sword that was lying on the table pretending to be dead, and asked angrily:

"What exactly happened? Why did so many people die in the courtyard?"

He was almost furious in his heart.

He had only been away for less than half a day, and this broken sword had committed such a monstrous crime. Looking at the number, it probably slaughtered the entire Blood Refining Peak, right?

"Hiccup—"

The ningyuan sword first let out a hiccup, and then was immediately startled by the anger in Qi Yuan's words, and hurriedly explained:

"Master Qi, didn't you instruct that all intruders should be killed?"

"These people were all bad guys trying to break in and steal things. I, this sword, followed your instructions and killed every one that came, never letting a single fish slip through the net."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan's eyes widened immediately, his expression full of disbelief:

"You, you mean, these people were not killed by you outside, but were killed by you when they came here to steal things?"

"That's right."

The ningyuan sword shook its body triumphantly and asked for credit in an excited tone, "Master Qi, you have already given the order, how would little sword dare to act on its own? little sword can swear to heaven that it absolutely has not left this courtyard for even half a step."

"In the future, don't forget little sword if there are such tasks. This time little sword had a great harvest, and I have kept your share for you..."

Damn it!

After confirming that the ningyuan sword was not lying, Qi Yuan felt completely numb.

People in the world say that the demonic sect has a bad atmosphere, but I didn't expect it to be this bad!

As the owner, I had only left for a while, and it actually attracted so many malicious thieves. I have simply entered a thieves' den.

Damn it, I am just a newcomer. From beginning to end, I have never shown my wealth in front of others. Are these guys crazy from poverty?

Recalling a certain rule of the demonic sect, Qi Yuan calmed down a little.

He had learned that those who intruded into another person's Immortal Cave without cause, the owner of the Immortal Cave has the right to kill them directly.

No matter what, he was the one in the right, and could even be said to be a victim. There was still room for maneuver in this matter.

But seeing the dense corpses in front of him, Qi Yuan became unconfident again. With so many people dead this time, would the demonic sect really not pursue it?

After pondering for a moment, he decided to consult a professional for their opinion.

He casually put the ningyuan sword into the System space and quickly took out a communication talisman. After activating it, a soft and pleasant female voice soon sounded from the talisman:

"Qi Yuan, is there anything you need from me?"

Qi Yuan immediately said:

"Fairy Ji, I want to ask you a question?"

"What question?"

Qi Yuan took a deep breath and described it cautiously:

"Uh... I have a friend who is an Outer Sect Disciple of the demonic sect. If he accidentally kills other Outer Sect Disciples, is there any punishment?"

On the other side, Ji Chan'er seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied:

"Killing an Outer Sect Disciple without a deep background is not a big deal. Even if caught, in most cases, it is just a fine of a large amount of Spirit Stones."

"Of course, the Law Enforcement Hall of the Yin Sha Sect acts strictly. If the Spirit Stones for the fine are not paid in full within the deadline, one will die a miserable death."

So it's just a fine of some Spirit Stones.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan felt much more relieved and secretly thought:

As expected of the demonic sect, even killing people is not a big deal.

But then Ji Chan'er continued to ask:

"Who exactly did that friend you mentioned kill? Do you need me to go to the Law Enforcement Hall and say a word?"

Qi Yuan sighed lightly and answered honestly: "To tell you the truth, on the first day he joined the sect, he slaughtered the entire Blood Refining Peak."

The next moment, the other side of the communication talisman fell into a state of silence...
