The Side Character Who Wins by Doing Nothing

Provoked by Lu Sangjiu, the Head of the Fang Family’s face darkened. He squeezed a word from between his teeth, "Insolent!"

With that, he unleashed his most powerful technique. "Die!"

A formidable surge of Spiritual Power rolled wildly toward Lu Sangjiu and the others. Lu Sangjiu stood at the very front, but this time, she didn’t let anyone else put up a defensive technique. Instead, she simply wielded the Domination Map and executed a simple horizontal slash!

The blade’s own violent Demonic Qi billowed out, turning the simplest of techniques into an attack with the force of a thunderbolt.

The Head of the Fang Family’s face filled with horror as he watched the Domination Map shatter his own attack and come straight for him!

It was too late to dodge. He could only condense all his Spiritual Power into a Protective Shield to block it head-on. The next moment, he was sent flying backward, slamming into a pillar behind him!

SPIT!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out. The Head of the Fang Family’s face turned ashen, and a wisp of black qi flashed in the whites of his eyes. It was clear that the Demonic Qi from the Domination Map had invaded his body after that strike!

For an Immortal Cultivator, having Demonic Qi invade the body is an excruciating experience. Coupled with his existing injuries, the Head of the Fang Family collapsed to the ground, his face contorted in pain. He had clearly lost the ability to fight.

Luo Linlang couldn’t help but look at Lu Sangjiu with sparkling eyes. "Little Junior Sister, that blade of yours is amazing! So domineering!"

But her happiness was short-lived. As Shen Yuzhao was quickly leading the young Demon Cultivator toward the exit of the Fang Mansion, a dark light suddenly flashed before them, forcing Shen Yuzhao to a dead stop.

Panic flickered across his face as he looked back helplessly at Lu Sangjiu. "...Little Junior Sister, the Fang Family’s Great Array has been activated! We can’t get out!"

The words had barely left his mouth when countless Fang Family guards swarmed toward them, completely surrounding them.

Then, a voice filled with terrifying pressure rang out. "Since you’re here, don’t be in such a hurry to leave."

Lu Sangjiu’s expression immediately darkened. "...A Divinity Transformation Stage expert."

The next moment, an incredibly flamboyant man in red robes appeared.

He stood on high, looking down on Lu Sangjiu and the others. He wore a smile, but his eyes were filled with killing intent.

On the other side, Elder Yuan, who had gone from being evenly matched with Li Qiancheng to being completely suppressed, saw this and a flicker of joy crossed his face. "Senior Liufeng, save me!"

’Liufeng? True Monarch Liu Feng of the Joyful Union Sect!’

The moment the name registered, Lu Sangjiu was reminded of Ye Zhiyao, who hadn’t made an appearance to grab the spotlight in a long time.

He was one of Ye Zhiyao’s harem members in the book. After leaving the small world where she obtained the Fengming Sword Scabbard, she had also heard from Yan Zui that the comatose Ye Zhiyao had been taken away by True Monarch Liu Feng.

Later, after discovering that Miao Miaomiao was actually Qin Miao, they also began to suspect that her master, True Monarch Liu Feng, was involved. But since it was an internal matter of the Joyful Union Sect, Lu Sangjiu and the others naturally couldn’t follow up.

’But now it seems this True Monarch Liu Feng really is a huge problem!’

It was just that back then, Lu Sangjiu had thought Qin Miao had no connection to this organization that trafficked Demon Cultivators, which was why she had led her to Yuelin City. But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case.

’There must still be a tangled web of connections between them. Perhaps they’re allies, not enemies? Or maybe frenemies?’

A myriad of thoughts flashed through her mind, but this was no time for deep reflection. She quickly refocused her attention on the situation at hand.

Elder Yuan pleaded with True Monarch Liu Feng for help but received none. The True Monarch simply spat out a single word with a contemptuous look, "Useless."

At the same time, taking advantage of Elder Yuan’s distraction, Li Qiancheng finally found his opening and struck with his palm, leaving Elder Yuan heavily injured and unconscious!

Having dealt with that problem, Li Qiancheng immediately ran back to Lu Sangjiu’s group, panting.

"First Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Li Qiancheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked a bit tired, but his face was filled with excitement. "I’m fine. That old geezer was pretty tough to deal with. Took some time, but I’m not hurt!"

Clearly, he had thoroughly enjoyed the fight.

Watching them converse as if no one else was there, True Monarch Liu Feng narrowed his eyes, the cold glint within them intensifying.

"Not bad. You’re all quite talented."

"A pity you all have to perish here today."

With victory in his grasp, he looked at Lu Sangjiu and her companions as if they were fish in a barrel, in no hurry to strike.

Lu Sangjiu looked at him calmly and said, "Are you True Monarch Liu Feng of the Joyful Union Sect?"

Liu Feng raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face. "Thanks to you, I am now a traitor to the Joyful Union Sect and am currently being hunted by them."

Lu Sangjiu: "..."

’No wonder he’s looking at me with such hostility. Turns out I’m the one who screwed him over.’

Lu Sangjiu cleared her throat and didn’t respond directly, instead changing the subject. "True Monarch Liu Feng is an elder of the Joyful Union Sect with a boundless future. Why must you get involved in these murky waters and tarnish your own name?"

"If you repent now, I believe the Joyful Union Sect will forgive your past actions and give you a chance to atone for your crimes through meritorious service!"

Liu Feng looked as if he had heard something hilarious. "Hahahahaha! Repent? What wrong have I done? Why should I repent?"

"Demon Cultivators are the enemies of Immortal Cultivators. We are merely using their filthy bodies to create weapons to destroy the Western Demon Realm! *They* are the ones atoning for their crimes. It is what they deserve!"

Lu Sangjiu immediately latched onto the key piece of information. "So... your goal is to destroy the Western Demon Realm?"

Seemingly realizing his slip of the tongue, Liu Feng’s expression instantly turned cold. "The dead have no need to know so much."

He raised a finger, seemingly about to annihilate them all.

However, just at that moment, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out. "Don’t! Senior, please show mercy and spare my fellow sect members!"

From among the countless guards, a woman hurried through the crowd. She appeared before Lu Sangjiu and the others, placing herself directly in front of them. She looked up at True Monarch Liu Feng, her face filled with earnest pleading.

’This... who could it be but Ye Zhiyao?’

When Lu Sangjiu saw her, her expression became incredibly strange, as if she had just swallowed a fly.

Just a moment ago, she had prepared herself for the possibility of Ye Zhiyao showing up here, but... she never expected that Ye Zhiyao would appear only to plead for their lives!

’Did the sun rise in the west today? Ye Zhiyao is pleading for us???’

Even Luo Linlang couldn’t help but murmur, "Am I still dreaming? That... that’s Ye Zhiyao, right?"

Shen Yuzhao was also shocked. "She’s already at the Nascent Soul Stage? Are we really dreaming?"

’It’s been less than two years, and she went from Foundation Establishment to Nascent Soul? Not even chugging pills would be that fast!’

Only then did Lu Sangjiu notice Ye Zhiyao’s cultivation. It was indeed at the Nascent Soul Stage... but the Spiritual Power in her body was unstable. She clearly hadn’t reached the Nascent Soul Stage through proper cultivation.

’Hmm... when I think about True Monarch Liu Feng, it’s not surprising. The benefits of dual cultivation, I suppose!’
