I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 385 Martial Arts Tournament 3

As long as you don't try to erase them, they seem to be quite obedient.

During that conversation, although her elder sister made it clear that she didn't care about her demonic identity, she was still somewhat skeptical.

What if... what if my older sister really can't accept it later?

She didn't dare to gamble.

After all, among prestigious sects, demons are clearly a taboo.

Yun Qingrou didn't want anyone to find out, nor did she want to put Yun Qingyi in a difficult position. So she decided to keep it a secret as long as possible. If she was discovered, she would disappear and continue to protect Yun Qingyi from a distance.

However… Yun Qingrou thought about it and realized that it was too early to think about these things. As things stand now, her demonic energy is still in a stage where it is easy to control. Before, she only wanted to suppress and destroy it, but the more she suppressed it, the stronger the demonic energy seemed to resist.

Now that she's stopped suppressing it, the demonic energy has become much gentler.

The two walked out of the corridor together. The flying boat was very large, with a deck that could accommodate thousands of disciples, but only a hundred or so disciples were going to the martial arts tournament, so it seemed very empty.

Ci Gui was explaining the rules of the martial arts tournament to the disciples who hadn't attended last year. These things weren't originally his responsibility, and he didn't even need to be present at the tournament. But this time, he not only came but also answered all the disciples' questions in great detail.

The disciples on the lower deck all had bright eyes. They really didn't expect that their aloof and ethereal sect leader would actually do such things personally.

Actually, very few people didn't participate last year. There were only a handful, including Yun Qingyi, Yun Qingrou, and Gu Qiqing, as well as Ruan Qi Lengzhan and a few other disciples who had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

The disciples were simply reviewing the rules once more when they arrived at the Purple Cloud Sect, which was already beginning to take shape. It would be less than a quarter of an hour before they reached it.

After everyone had left to prepare their things, Ci Gui turned to Yun Qingyi beside him and asked, "Did you understand? Do you need me to explain it again? You seemed a little distracted just now."

Yun Qingyi shook her head, "No need for Master, I understand."

Then he added, "By the way, Master, I want to tell you something. Do you remember Duan Leizhi that I told you about before?"

Ci Gui watched his busy disciples, silently raised a barrier, and then nodded slightly: "I remember you said back then that he was no longer the original Duan Leizhi, and seemed to be possessed by some evil spirit."

Yun Qingyi nodded: "I've been thinking about it, and I don't really understand why so many people here, some of whom have higher cultivation levels than Duan Leizhi, and many of whom are talented array masters, could still escape using an array that suppresses evil spirits. It must be because they set up an opportunity in advance."

When she was in the secret realm, she went back to that place with Xie Xiyan. Xie Xiyan said that there was a faint aura of the Zixiao Sect in the entire formation.

Although it's well hidden, it can still be found by using some spiritual power.

Yun Qingyi asked him how he knew, but Xie Xiyan didn't say.

Therefore, she deduced that the thing must have originally been related to the Zixiao Sect, and could only possess Duan Leizhi.

Ci Gui frowned in thought: "So, Qingyi means that I should pay more attention to any unusual occurrences at the Zixiao Sect?"

Yun Qingyi: "Yes, I'll leave this to Master. By the way, Master, I'd like to ask you for some amulets to ward off evil spirits."

Ci Gui raised an eyebrow and, without hesitation, took out a stack of papers: "Are these for the girls of the Hundred Flowers Sect?"

Yun Qingyi accepted the talisman. "Well, I'm afraid the things I prepared won't be enough to provide sufficient defense. It's best to be fully prepared to be absolutely safe."

……

After Ci Gui left, Ruan Qi and the others gathered around. Since the master and disciple had just talked, they were too embarrassed to come over to Yun Qingyi. "Uncle-Master, what were you talking about with the sect leader? Did you have something to tell him?" Leng Zhan asked casually.

Yun Qingyi: "No, I just asked my master for a few protective talismans to give to the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect."

After saying that, Yun Qingyi took out a few and distributed them to the group, saying, "Take one of each of you. Better safe than sorry. You might need it later."

The group accepted the amulets. "Oh, right, Ruan Qi, this is for you." Yun Qingyi took out a storage ring she had prepared earlier.

Ruan Qi took the storage ring, scanned it with his divine sense, and found that it contained spiritual treasures that were both defensive and offensive. He was somewhat surprised and puzzled: "Uncle-Master, this..."

Yun Qingyi pressed her hand: "Take it. The Purple Cloud Sect may not be a peaceful place for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone recalled what had happened back in the Shang family. As a member of the Shang family, Shang Yan would inevitably transfer her hatred after the Shang family was wiped out, and the person most directly and easily harmed would be Ruan Qi, who went to participate in the Centennial Grand Competition.

Ji Zhaoling: "In that case, I should also give my junior sister some protective magic items. As the saying goes, it's not about having more magic items, but about having fewer."

Gu Qiqing: "Zhao Ling is right, I have some too, Ruan Qi, you can take them all."

The others each gave some magical artifacts, more or less.

Looking at the several storage rings in her hand, Ruan Qi felt a lump in her throat. Without any hesitation, she accepted them generously: "Thank you all. I won't say any more words, but I will always remember this kindness."

"Oh, Junior Sister Ruan, what are you saying? You're not only a friend to us, but also family from the same sect. Do you know what a senior brother is? He's an older brother. As an older brother, how can I not protect my younger sister?" Leng Zhan patted Ruan Qi's shoulder and laughed.

"Tsk tsk, it's rare to see Leng Zhan finally spew out something ivory from his dog's mouth," Ji Zhaozhe teased with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Leng Zhan's ears turned red. "When have I ever spat out ivory? No, wait, why does my mouth sound like a dog's mouth?"

……

Zixiao Gate.

Everyone was amazed as a huge flying ship appeared overhead.

"Such a large building, it must belong to the Xuanmiao Sect, right? Of the five major sects, only the Xuanmiao Sect hasn't arrived yet."

"Are your eyesight failing you?" The person next to me rolled their eyes. "Can't you see the character '渺' on that brightly lit flag?"

"Tsk, I just didn't see it for a moment."

"Hey, who do you think will come from Xuanmiao Sect this time?" another person asked.

"I think... Senior Brother Ji Zhaoze will definitely come. In addition, there's Fairy Zhaoling and Senior Brother Leng who came last year. Their strength must have improved again."

Suddenly someone exclaimed excitedly, "What?! It's Fairy Zhaoling! Where is she? Where is she?!"

The others remained silent. One of the sect members said, "Wang Tian, ​​you've been talking about this for a hundred years. It's time to give it a rest."

The man called Wang Tian ignored him: "Fairy Zhaoling told me to wait for her a hundred years from now, I cannot let her down."

"That's because they're telling you to train hard and strive for better results next time!"

Wang Tian: "She also gave me a plum blossom as a gift."

"I saw it all! Fairy Zhaoling was bored and threw it aside, and you went and picked it up!"

Wang Tian: "Then why didn't she throw it somewhere else? Why did she just leave it there? Wasn't she just waiting for me to pick it up?"

His companions were speechless, but he was used to it. Wang Tian was already a bit mentally ill, but ever since he met Fairy Zhaoling, he'd become even more mentally unstable.

I couldn't help but offer a few words of advice: "Save your breath, it's impossible for people from a small sect like ours."

Wang Tian: "No, I've already broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, I'm sure I'll become incredibly powerful!"

"But..." There are quite a few outstanding Nascent Soul cultivators here... The person traveling with him couldn't bear to discourage his junior brother too much, so he didn't say the rest of the sentence.

"Senior brother, there's no 'but,' I... I must be worthy of her!"

At this moment, the flying boat descended the spirit ladder, and the exclamations of the surrounding people completely drowned out the voices of the two brothers.

"Wow! Is that...is that Senior Brother Ji Zhaoze? He's so handsome."

"You're always swooning over guys. Hey? Who's that next to him?"
