Chapter 146 Not So

the other side

In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun had bound the black-clad cultivator and subdued him.

Seeing no hope of escape, the black-clad cultivator bit his fingertip, drawing blood to activate the Soul-Devouring Demon Worm, hoping to use it to threaten Xiao Xuan into protecting him.

The black-clad cultivator shouted at Xiao Xuan, "The Soul-Devouring Demonic Worm inside Xiao Yun's body is a larva planted by me, while the mother worm is in my hands."

"If something happens to me, the mother insect will die and the offspring will surely die as well."

"Xiao Yun and Zi Chong signed a life-and-death contract."

"At that time, even if you have great abilities, you won't be able to save him."

When a cultivator's contract takes effect, it will trigger the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

In the eyes of the black-clad cultivator, although Xiao Xuan had some skill, he was far from being able to defy the laws of heaven and earth.

Xiao Xuan remained calm, raising his eyes to look at the black-clad cultivator who thought he had victory in his grasp, his gaze undisturbed.

They seemed devoid of any emotion, as if they were not of this world.

The black-clad cultivator, who had initially been confident of victory, felt the immense power of heaven and earth reflected in Xiao Xuan's calm and indifferent gaze.

For some reason, it gave him a sudden unease.

The faint smile on Xiao Xuan's lips seemed to the black-clad cultivator like a silent mockery from a demon in the abyss.

Elder Gu flew behind Ling Yun with Zhang Qiao'er, silently moving away from Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yun.

At this moment, Elder Shi also arrived.

One by one, the disciples who noticed the commotion at the sect's exit gathered here.

They gathered behind Lingyun and Elder Gu.

The gaze directed at Xiao Yun had changed from admiration and respect to resentment and wariness.

Hurt by the hostile gazes of the crowd, Xiao Yun silently lowered his eyes.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips as he said in a low voice, "Little brother, you must not help the wicked because of your elder brother."

Xiao Yun was not afraid of death.

But the once kind and approachable sect leader, elders, and harmonious fellow disciples were unwilling to give him even a chance to prove his innocence, and hastily convicted him.

It's impossible not to feel sad and disappointed.

Xiao Xuan: "Being too sentimental can easily lead to heartbreak."

"Brother, don't let yourself be possessed by evil spirits."

"When conditions arise, people gather; when conditions cease, they disperse. Whether it's being together or practicing spiritual cultivation, one must not become obsessed and turn into a demon."

Hearing the earnest words of advice, Xiao Yun's eyes shifted from disappointment to confusion, then to clarity, and finally, to determination.

A surge of energy coursed through my body, and my mind suddenly felt clear and open.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, his cultivation level leaped two levels, from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage to the late stage, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and approaching the Divine Transformation stage.

Ling Yun looked at Xiao Yun, a struggle flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Yun was framed by the black-clad cultivator and planted with the Soul-Devouring Demon Worm. In truth, the other party was also a victim.

However, the other party had already signed a life-and-death contract with the Soul-Devouring Demon Insect.

Walking the path of demonic cultivation is an inevitable end.

Will this woman's actions sow the seeds of immeasurable disaster for the future?

Ling Yun wasn't the only one facing this dilemma.

The old elder behind him, and the old elder Shi who had just finished listening to the old elder's story, also looked at Xiao Yun with regret.

"It is the bounden duty of all righteous cultivators to eliminate demons, defend the righteous path, and uphold justice!"

This is a principle that almost all righteous cultivators are familiar with when they embark on the path of cultivation.

Now, naturally, things won't change because of Xiao Yun alone.

The black-clad cultivator shouted at Xiao Xuan, "What are you still hesitating for?"

"Can't you see the murderous intent these bastards from the Heavenly Sword Sect have towards your brother?"

"With your abilities, you could help me escape with just a word."

"I keep my word. If you help me escape from here, I will give you the mother of the Demon-Devouring Spirit Insect. How about it?"

Xiao Xuan: "Not good."
