Chapter 152 The Benefit of Flying is Running Fast
Regarding the treasonous words of her own Fifth Junior Brother, Li Yingling was not angry. In fact, she even felt a little pity for her Fifth Junior Brother. He had consumed their Master's pills, yet he still had not grasped their Master's true nature.
That one book, the "Burning Heaven Calendar Golden Great Dao Heart Method," so full of divine light, Li Yingling had only seen its cover and never again.
It was obvious her Master was guarding against her from seeing this seemingly formidable divine book.
Whenever her Junior Brother encountered something he didn't understand, he would always seek their Master, not her.
Li Yingling could figure it out with her toes; this heart method must have something unique belonging to their Master.
As for her Fifth Junior Brother having the best relationship with their Master in the world?
Regarding this, Li Yingling could only express that it was a pity Second Junior Brother was not here; otherwise, he could give Fifth Junior Brother a lesson.
She wondered how Second Junior Brother was doing in Central State.
Was their Master really so confident and bold to just let Second Junior Brother go to Central State?
Cui Hao glanced sideways twice and saw that his Senior Martial Sister's expression was still calm. It was clear she was not angry about him complaining behind her back.
Seeing that the two of them indeed looked listless, Li Yingling explained:
"The treasure bead your Senior Martial Sister Baiqing created with her divine abilities can only create an illusion around your body, it cannot conceal your scent. Most of the Yao Clan are extremely sensitive to smells. Get a whiff of this, cover it up."
"Besides, Cui Hao, you can overcome even your Master's pills. This is just a little smell."
Cui Hao, who had originally felt extremely uncomfortable, was stunned upon hearing this. Then he felt that what his Senior Martial Sister said made a lot of sense.
With this comparison, the stench on his body seemed to have become a bit more fragrant.
At this moment, Lin Luoyu, the only one who had not consumed the pills, glanced sideways at Cui Hao's "indeed" expression and his slight nodding motion. She re-evaluated her Master's pills.
If you can avoid eating them, then by all means, do not eat them.
Cui Hao looked at his well-equipped and ethereal Senior Martial Sister and asked in confusion:
"Then Senior Martial Sister, why don't you apply it?"
"I am a Golden Core True Person. My own aura is integrated and no longer leaks outward."
Cui Hao looked at his Senior Martial Sister with suspicion, seeing her face full of confidence.
He was not a Golden Core, so he could not discern whether his Senior Martial Sister's words were true or false. But he remembered her grace from a few days ago, when she had severed a mountain with a single sword.
Hmm... I'll believe her this time.
As for the stench, Lin Luoyu actually had a certain tolerance for it. She was more concerned with what they were about to do.
She asked softly: "Senior Martial Sister, are the three of us really not going to get into trouble for making a scene in a Yao King's territory?"
"That's not accurate. The accurate way to put it is that I am the one going to make a scene."
Li Yingling looked at her two Qi-Refining Junior Martial Brother and Sister from her sect and instructed:
"You two are responsible for dealing with the little demons who are trying to escape. Try not to let any of them get away."
Lin Luoyu asked, somewhat confused: "If that's the case, why don't we just charge in and kill them?"
Cui Hao, who was at the side, chuckled and said:
"You clearly haven't learned the true essence of our Master's teachings!"
Lin Luoyu looked puzzled.
Cui Hao shared his insight: "Towards your enemies, do not concern yourself with martial virtue! If you can ambush them, do not engage in a direct confrontation. If you can gang up on them, do not fight alone."
"Our Master once said a famous saying: To be merciful to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself!"
Li Yingling nodded in satisfaction. Her Fifth Junior Brother, although his aptitude was a bit lacking, his ideological consciousness was still very high.
Lin Luoyu's expression showed a sudden realization—her own moral character was a bit too high.
This surprise attack plan was meticulously devised by Li Yingling, for which she had to thank her Junior Martial Sister Chen Baiqing for her full support.
Those three little demons were not handed over to Zhao Chun's Alliance, but to her own Junior Martial Sister.
That day, Chen Baiqing had sworn that as long as she left them to her, in two days, when her Senior Martial Sister questioned them, they would confess everything.
Half-believing, half-doubting, Li Yingling handed them over to Chen Baiqing.
She only remembered that after two days, her cute and well-behaved Third Junior Martial Sister came to tell her that everything was settled.
Still half-believing, Li Yingling followed Chen Baiqing and saw the three demons once again.
The three demons seemed to have lost their souls. Their eyes were vacant and dull, and their bodies were limp as if their bones had fallen out.
Each of them was muttering different things.
Li Yingling glanced sideways at Chen Baiqing, whose smile was still as sweet as ever, and asked with a slightly puzzled tone: "Junior Martial Sister, your methods...?"
Chen Baiqing replied with a firm tone: "Master taught me."
Hearing this, Li Yingling nodded in understanding. Since it was taught by their Master, it was not strange.
Only after spending more time with him would one know that their Master was all-encompassing.
Chen Baiqing had indeed not broken her promise. The three demons truly answered whatever they were asked.
It was just that sometimes they would suddenly break down and cry, pleading to be killed after the questioning was over.
Or to be killed first and then questioned, which was truly a bit deranged.
The little weasel spirit squad leader was just like that.
Every time this happened, Li Yingling would subconsciously look at Chen Baiqing, who was lowering her head, quietly eating candied fruit, as if this had nothing to do with her.
At that time, Li Yingling could only feel that her Third Junior Martial Sister was perhaps the disciple who had truly inherited their Master's true teachings.
Under the interrogation of the three demons, who confessed to everything they knew, they quickly and cleanly revealed all their background.
This so-called Demon Nation was, in fact, so scattered that it hardly seemed like a nation at all.
Each Yao King led the little demons under their command, each occupying their own mountain stronghold.
There was complete lack of coordination; even the exchange of information was extremely rare.
These three demons were subordinate to the Great Martial Yao King—a large water buffalo in the Golden Core stage.
A large water buffalo that had only recently entered the Yao King realm, and the number of demon soldiers under his command was also among the lowest.
Moreover, in this Fallen Ridge where water was somewhat scarce, this large water buffalo was very uncomfortable, so his combat effectiveness was likely greatly reduced.
Added to the fact that his strength was also among the lowest, this Yao King had already been pushed to the front line.
If he was used as a breakthrough point to tear open the front, it would naturally be most convenient.
This surprise attack was not just Li Yingling bringing her junior martial siblings. Behind them was the main force arranged by Zhao Chun.
It seemed that this slightly risky plan of Li Yingling's also put Zhao Chun under great pressure.
If this young lady were to fall here, it was not certain that the Xuanwu Nation would be destroyed by this Demon Nation.
However, since she could produce the Tianyan Jade Tablet, she must have some real skills.
If the decapitation strike succeeded and could throw the Yao Clan's front line into chaos, then the lands that had fallen in the first phase of the plan would be as good as in their bag.
Furthermore, as a favored daughter of heaven, the protective measures on her person must be one set after another.
Secondly, he could neither command Li Yingling nor did he dare to. He could only arrange his troops according to her actions.

The front line of the Demon Nation.
In the rather silent night, the owl spirit's two large, copper-bell eyes calmly scanned the silent, scorched earth ahead.
It had originally thought this would be another peaceful night, as the human race had not launched an attack for a long time.
However, some old demons in the camp were saying that the human race was preparing to gather its strength for a massive attack.
But the owl spirit did not care about these things, because it could fly.
If a fight really broke out, it would definitely be the one to run the fastest.
Soon, the owl spirit detected three demons, sprinting madly in its direction.
