What if you missed that spirit weapon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Feng’s voice in his mind carried frustration and impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, leading the group today wasn’t his turn, but for the sake of the spirit weapon Elder Feng mentioned, he had fought tooth and nail to secure this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zangjian looked him up and down for a moment, his eyes cold as ice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Elder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan quickly bowed in salute, his face displaying grateful appreciation, though cold sweat had already formed on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples behind him also collectively sighed in relief, their tense shoulders slightly sagging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Fan’s tardiness had ruined their weapon selection, they would have resented him to their bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain’s great gate slowly opened, the heavy stone door grinding against the ground with a muffled “creak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ye Fan was about to lead everyone forward with joy, a gentle, water-like spiritual energy wave suddenly spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems another spirit weapon has matured and initiated its trial. Not bad, this generation indeed has many good prospects…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Elder Zangjian could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly sharpened, his brow furrowing tightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something’s wrong…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly formed hand seals, his figure transforming into a streak of light and instantly disappearing before everyone’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the disturbance in the spiritual energy, Ye Fan’s heart tightened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not good! We must get inside immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His foot had already stepped forward, but Elder Feng’s voice in his mind stopped him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait for what? If we wait any longer, the spirit weapon will be taken by someone else!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan couldn’t think of anything else, only wanting to rush toward the source of the spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Elder Feng’s next words made his steps freeze in place:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a trace of demonic energy hidden in this spiritual energy. I’m afraid it’s a trap set by the demonic clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say? A demonic clan trap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan felt his scalp tingle, cold sweat instantly soaking through his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic clan’s cunning and cruelty were common knowledge throughout the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They abandoned their souls, willingly accepting corruption by demonic energy, allying themselves with demonic beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the human and demon races, who were constantly at odds, would temporarily set aside their grudges and join forces when facing the demonic clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Elder Feng was saying there were demonic clan members hiding within Qinglan Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even Qinglan Sect couldn’t stop them, who else in this world could resist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be afraid. It’s just a trace of demonic energy, the demonic clan member hasn’t arrived in person. But the spirit weapon’s spiritual energy fluctuation is real… Fortune favors the bold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Feng’s tone carried a sinister temptation. In his view, opportunity always came hand in hand with danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Feng, that’s the demonic clan! I’m just a small fry in the Foundation Establishment stage…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan’s heart was pounding. No matter how tempting the spirit weapon was, it wasn’t worth more than his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you want revenge anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Feng’s voice suddenly became flat, yet like a needle, it precisely pierced Ye Fan’s most painful spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew too well that only the hatred carved into Ye Fan’s bones and blood could drive him to risk his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contemptuous look of his enemy flashed through his mind, making his heart ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan’s clenched fists turned white at the knuckles. After a moment of silence, he finally gritted his teeth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, he spoke gravely to the disciples behind him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s danger here. Wait here for half a day. Enter only after Elder Zangjian returns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he closed the great gate, cutting off any possibility for outsiders to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his serious expression, the disciples, though anxious, could only suppress their impulses and wait outside the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fan wasn’t concerned about their lives or deaths, he simply didn’t want these people to become unnecessary victims under the demonic clan’s blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the demonic clan was the enemy of all humanity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Qinglan Sect, in a dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two black-robed men were conversing in low voices, their figures hunched, their limb proportions abnormal compared to humans, clearly not human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keh keh keh, though we let that damn fox escape, she left us a small crack. Combined with our inside contact, this new generation of Qinglan Sect disciples will likely be completely wiped out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them laughed sinisterly, his voice like rusty metal scraping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other spoke obsequiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brilliant plan, my lord! The spiritual energy from the spirit weapon trial masks the aura of our demonic artifact’s operation. I wonder how Qinglan Sect will respond this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qinglan Sect’s future generation was depleted, wouldn’t they have an opportunity to invade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go. Before they discover this ‘gift,’ we should retreat!” The leading black-robed figure glanced deeply at Qinglan Sect’s direction and waved his hand, causing a pitch-black gate to appear from thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, an unremarkable water droplet fell from the sky, landing on the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black portal dissolved instantly like it had been corroded by strong acid, crumbling into black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed man spun around sharply, sweeping both palms forward. The surrounding trees were instantly wrapped in black energy, withering and rotting at a visible rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue-haired woman carrying a large gourd walked slowly toward them, yawning, looking drowsy as if she had just been awakened from deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two more little mice disturbing my peaceful dreams.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was lazy, carrying the nasal tone of someone not fully awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new pillow she’d recently acquired was too comfortable, making her increasingly fond of sleeping. She only noticed these two little mice when they started making moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Playing mysterious tricks!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two black-robed men exchanged glances and without hesitation channeled their demonic energy, pouncing toward the woman like two black venomous snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the woman kept her eyes half-closed, showing no intention of defending herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you listened carefully, you could even hear steady breathing sounds, as if she had truly fallen asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeking death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed man was furious, increasing his demonic energy output, determined to corrode this woman who dared look down on them into a puddle of pus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the demonic energy was about to touch her, the gourd in her hand suddenly blazed with golden light, breaking free from her grasp and flying into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottle mouth aimed at the incoming demonic energy and, like a whale drinking water, swallowed it all. The gourd itself visibly expanded, becoming mountain-sized in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, something’s wrong with this gourd! What do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate panicked, his voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What else can we do? Run, of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading black-robed figure reacted extremely quickly, he hadn’t reached this position without reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the gourd moved, he sensed something was wrong and immediately channeled demonic energy to tear through space, attempting to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if even the Six-Tailed Void Fox, skilled in escape, couldn’t get away, how could they possibly escape?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the giant gourd suddenly expanded further, and terrifying suction instantly enveloped the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two black-robed figures screamed as they were sucked in, without even a chance to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all the demonic energy in the air dissipated, the gourd obediently shrank back to normal size and returned to the woman’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-haired woman finally opened her eyes, shook the gourd, and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like there’s something fun again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up toward the direction within Qinglan Sect where spiritual energy was erupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyelids drooped, looking somewhat drowsy as she said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That place is up to you, this venerable one’s little pillow… I’m going back to sleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven and earth are vast, but sleep is the greatest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm… I really want to sleep while holding you.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1430,"2026-06-06T16:56:29.155Z",1,"novelbin.me","d455020d4ca850166a740117fae86052688d74ce6a99c030e571e2fadb2ed1c6","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-48","i-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--chapter-46",149,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-a-villainous-cannon-fodder-pick-up-the-female--cover.jpg"]
