I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

Chapter 44: Demonic Sect

The cultivators boarded the airships one after the other as the sun set down, signaling the end of the Heavenly Luo Sects assessment.

Ye Yong stood on the dock of the boat, looking at the magnificent mountains and rivers shrouded by the clouds. This wasnt a 3D projection- it was a real scenery that he could see with his own eyes. His heart, which had calmed down after being excited for a few days when he had first transmigrated, began to beat quickly again.

The path to immortality is a slow and long journey. Things dont change, but humans do. Who can outlive the heavens? Ye Yong said with the fan in his hand, inspired by the scenery. This time, he didnt plagiarize anyone from Earth. After all, he had read a lot of novels, so even though he wasnt a literacy major, he was able to create some good poetry from time to time.

Wu Xue, who was next to Ye Yong, was intoxicated as she looked at him as if she was drunk.

Aside from Qin Family members, Qin Shi Meng only knew Ye Yong and Wu Xue. She didnt really like to be with her family members, so she was standing near Ye Yong with her personal maid, also looking at the scenery.

Qin Shi Mengs personal maid previously had a strong prejudice against Ye Yong, but after Qin Shi Meng slowly changed her mind about Ye Yong, her prejudice against Ye Yong also slowly disappeared.

Ye Yongs figure, under the glow of the setting sun, combined with the swaying white clothing, the handsome face of an idol, the eyes that seemed to capture both Heaven and Earth, and the poetic lines, was extremely captivating.

Many of the female cultivators hearts on the airship all flew over.

Qin Shi Meng was also shocked by Ye Yong. Who can outlive the heavens? Its hard to believe that this line came from a cultivator thats only 18 years old. It is full of resistance against fate but also the lack of ability to do anything against fate.

Cultivators cultivated to change their lives. Everyone wanted to just live a bit longer. But as strong as their cultivation could get, who could live longer than Heaven? Even if they become an immortal, they will one day eventually turn into ashes and dissipate in the river of time.

Wonderful, wonderful, a male cultivator that looked like a said as he walked up next to Ye Yong.

Ye Yong looked over and didnt recognize the person. However, just by judging the looks and aura, he could immediately tell that he was either one of the male leads future friends or enemies. And male leads friends usually get killed in the future, which would give the male lead a strong, explosive buff.

What do you go by, Daoist friend? Ye Yong asked. He wanted to know who the guy was before deciding whether or not he would interact with him. After all, he didnt have much interest in guys.

Li Jun Xia.

Oh, you. Youre fine, we can interact. Oh, Senior Brother Li. Sorry for being disrespectful, Ye Yong said, saluting.

You know me? Li Jun Xia didnt show his face during the assessment or introduce himself, and it was his first time meeting Ye Yong.

Who doesnt know Great Zhou Dynastys Li Jun Xia? Ye Yong said. He wasnt trying to butter up to Li Jun Xia- Li Jun Xia had been extremely famous 8 years ago. He was at the 3rd layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm at 15 years old, with a 6-color foundation when he joined the Heavenly Luo Sect. He had joined on a non-exam day and became an inner disciple immediately.

However, since he didnt really show himself much in the mortal world, his popularity slowly died down in the mortal world and not many people know of him anymore. However, in the cultivator world, he was still known as a very talented formation genius.

I thought that no one would remember me anymore after all these years, Li Jun Xia said somewhat embarrassedly.

Ye Yong was willing to interact with him because Li Jun Xia was one of the few people who survived until the end who was also one of the male leads friends. He was an upright and honest man, one of the male side characters that the readers liked.

And what was the most important thing? He has a beautiful little sister, and he wouldnt fight for the heroines, because he deeply loved a mortal girl. However, with the passage of time, the mortal girl would get older and older, while Li Jun Xia kept a young face as a cultivator. The girl had low self-esteem and didnt want to ruin Li Jun Xias future, so she decided to jump into a river and kill herself. The heartbroken Li Jun Xia made a tombstone for her, declaring her to be his only wife and not marry anyone else.

Of course, that didnt happen yet. The girl was currently only 19 years old, and she wouldnt suicide for at least another 10 years. One may ask why Li Jun Xia didnt just make her cultivate, but a person couldnt just cultivate because they wanted to. Without talent, it was hard to forge a physique. Without a physique, it was almost impossible for one to cultivate. Just because a person has the resources to do so doesnt mean that they could cultivate.

With your ability in formations, you are destined to be famous in the future, Ye Yong said, smiling.

I didnt know that Junior Brother Ye was someone who knew how to flatter people, Li Jun Xia said somewhat awkwardly. After all, Ye Yong had a 7-colored foundation, so logically, Ye Yong had a brighter future than him and it would be easier for him to become famous. It was like a billionaire praising a millionaire for being wealthy, so how could Li Jun Xia not be embarrassed?

I dont flatter people, Ye Yong said. He was rummaging through his brain for some poems to say and show off when an attack suddenly came and hit the airships defensive formation, causing a ripple.

Enemy attack!

Demonic sect cultivators!

A few people with extremely good eyesight recognized the flag on the distant airship.

Ye Yong almost forgot that Heavenly Luo Sects airship would get attacked by a demonic sect on the way back to Heavenly Luo Sect. However, the demonic sect that attacked them was extremely weak and highly overestimated their strength. They were unable to withstand the counterattack from the Heavenly Luo Sect and quickly retreated after suffering huge casualties. They were basically just cannon fodder meant to let the reader learn about the existence of demonic sects.

Dont worry everyone, this kind of thing happens from time to time. Itll end soon, Li Jun Xia said, comforting the cultivators on the airship. He said farewell to Ye Yong and left to find Leng Meng Chao and the other hall masters. They werent just here to watch the assessment of the new disciples- their job was actually to make sure that the new disciples arrived back at the Heavenly Luo Sect safely.

As a prestigious justice sect, the Heavenly Luo Sect was one of the evil cults and demonic sects worst enemies. Since ancient times, good and evil didnt coexist with each other.

Evil cults and demonic sects have done similar things and tried to kill new disciples of justice sects for many millennials, and there were times when they failed and times when they succeeded. However, the Heavenly Luo Sect was a top sect, so even though this sect was only a branch sect, they wouldnt lose to demonic sects very easily.

The counterattack soon started.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Eardrum-shattering explosions sounded in the air from time to time.

Young master Wu Xue had never seen something like this before and got so scared she immediately grabbed onto Ye Yong.

Dont be afraid, the enemy will soon be defeated, Ye Yong said, holding Wu Xue in his embrace while gently stroking her hair.

Young Master Ye, were scared too. We also want comforting. Many female cultivators were staring at Wu Xue with jealousy. Whats wrong with this world? How is a maid being treated this well? Were young ladies of cultivation families.

Qin Shi Meng didnt think much when she saw Ye Yong holding Wu Xue in his embrace. It only helped affirm Wu Xues words that Ye Yong was treating her really nicely. To be able to treat a mortal maid so nicely, maybe I really did misunderstand him.

Favorability +2.

Just like in the novel, the demonic sect soon retreated after facing the Heavenly Luo Sects counterattack.

They didnt try to pursue them- after all, no one knew whether or not it was trying to lure them out and away. As such, Liang Meng Chao and the other strong cultivators simply watched the demonic sect cultivators flee and then went back to their original spots and closed their eyes, as if nothing had happened.

After seeing how Heavenly Luo Sect handled the attack and its battle prowess, the newcomers became even more confident about the sect they were joining.

Because Li Jun Xia was a formation genius, he had to check up on the defense formations that had been attacked on all 3 of the airships, so he didnt go back to find Ye Yong.

Ye Yong didnt really care- it didnt matter to him whether or not he became friends with Li Jun Xia. After all, he preferred to be with Wu Xue rather than a guy. Ye Yong still hadnt let go of Wu Xue and was keeping her in his embrace.

Wu Xue was embarrassed feeling the gazes from the people around her, so she buried her head into Ye Yong again. At the same time, she felt glad to be able to become Ye Yongs maid.

Favorability +5.
