Chapter 5689

The female cultivator said coldly, “Inappropriate? Judging from your appearance, you’re quite badly injured, aren’t you? You’re already in dire straits yourself, yet you try to act as a vigilante? How laughable!”

“In this Nine Heavens, the law of the jungle prevails! I was surrounded and attacked today because of my lack of strength and bad luck; this was my fate!

Your sudden appearance and killing of them was your own choice, what does it have to do with me? Do you expect me to be grateful and offer myself in return?”

“You do have some skill, but unfortunately, your brain isn’t very sharp. These three are merely outer disciples of the ‘Black Fiend Sect.’ Killing them will only bring you trouble soon.

I advise you to hurry up and think about how to escape, instead of getting entangled with me here and wasting your time!”

She spoke rapidly and sarcastically, regarding Kai’s help as meddling, even a burden and a nuisance.

Listening to her rapid-fire sarcasm, Kai’s anger was gradually replaced by a cold sense of absurdity.

The person he saved was such a selfish, cold-hearted, and morally bankrupt individual.

“But I did save you, didn’t I?” Kai said.

“I didn’t force you to save me,” the female cultivator replied.

“Damn it, you have a physical defect, why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Looking at the female cultivator’s matter-of-fact, even dismissive, attitude, Kai suddenly felt disheartened and lost all interest in arguing.

“A physical defect?” The female cultivator was taken aback, but quickly recovered.

“You’re the one who has…”

*Whoosh!

* Before the female cultivator could finish speaking, Kai’s Dragon-Slaying Sword had already swung out.

A flash of sword light, and the female cultivator’s head flew high into the air.

With a casual wave of his hand, Kai’s storage bag was also in his grasp.

“Kid, you’re ruthless enough. But what do you mean by saying that girl has a physical defect?”

“I don’t see any defect in her.”　　”Crimson Cloud Demon Lord asked curiously.

Kai just smiled faintly and didn’t explain. Those who understand will understand, and those who don’t, explanations are useless.”

Kai searched the storage bags of the four people, but didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he found a secluded cave and set up a simple concealment array.

He first checked his spoils. The storage bags of the three demon cultivators mostly contained yin and evil materials and low-grade demon crystals, which weren’t very useful to him.

But when he opened the storage bag of the purple-clad female cultivator, his eyes lit up.

Besides many high-quality spirit stones and pills, there was a delicate jade bottle containing a pill the size of a longan, radiating a nine-colored aura—the very “Nine-Turn Pill” that had caused the fight!

Next to the pill was a palm-sized token, neither gold nor wood, cool to the touch. The front was engraved with the character “玄” (Xuan), and the back depicted a mountain peak shrouded in clouds and mist, with two small characters below—”阴煞” (Yin Sha).

“The Xuan Yin Sha Sect?”

Kai raised an eyebrow. Although he had only recently entered the Ninth Heaven, he had heard of this sect’s reputation. It was a second-rate demonic sect in the Ninth Heaven, known for its methods of absorbing spiritual energy and controlling ghosts. Its actions were unpredictable, and its reputation was extremely poor.

“Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.”

Kai sneered. The female cultivator’s cold-hearted and selfish nature suggested the sect’s atmosphere was unbearable.

The image of the female cultivator’s cruel face before her death flashed through his mind, and considering the Xuan Yin Sha Sect’s infamous reputation, a thought gradually became clear.

“Perfect. This Nine-Turn Pill is of excellent quality, enough to restore most of my strength. At that time, this Xuan Yin Sha Sect… will be my first stop in ‘gathering’ resources.”

A cold glint flashed in Kai’s eyes.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, but he adhered to the principle of “If someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect; if someone offends me, I will retaliate.”

The female cultivator’s words and actions had crossed his bottom line, and in his view, her sect had no reason to exist.

Moreover, annihilating such a demonic sect would not only yield resources but also be considered an act of justice.

Without further hesitation, he took out the Nine-Turn Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
