<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5687</h2>


    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 like a hero who stands up for the weak? Howughable!”


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


    You suddenly appeared and killed them; that 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’ve got some skill, but your brain isn’t very sharp. These three are just outer disciples of the ‘ck Fiend Sect.’ If you kill them, trouble will soon befall you.


    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 David’s help as meddling, even a burden and a nuisance.


    Listening to her barrage of sarcasm, David’s anger was gradually reced by a cold sense of absurdity. The person


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


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


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


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


    Looking at the female cultivator’s matter-of-fact, even disdainful, attitude, David suddenly felt a little disheartened and had no interest in arguing with her.


    “Physiological defect?” The female cultivator was taken aback, but quickly reacted.


    “You’re the one who has…”


    Swish!


    Before the female cultivator could finish speaking, David’s Dragon-ying Sword had already been unleashed.


    A sh of sword light swept across, and the female cultivator’s head flew high into the air. With


    a casual wave of his hand, David also retrieved the storage bag from the female cultivator’s body.


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


    “I don’t see any ws in her,”


    the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord asked curiously.


    David simply smiled faintly, offering no exnation. Those who understood would understand, and exnations were useless if they didn’t. David 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 purple-d female cultivator’s storage bag, his eyes lit up.


    Besides a considerable amount of 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!


    Beside the pilly a palm-sized token, neither gold nor wood, cool to the touch. The front bore the character while the back featured a misty mountain peak and two smaller characters below—” .


    “The Xuan Yin Sha Sect?”


    David raised an eyebrow. Although he had only recently entered the Ninth Heaven, he had heard of this sect. It was a second-rate demonic sect known for its practices of absorbing spiritual energy and controlling ghosts, operating in a treacherous manner with a terrible reputation.


    “Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.”


    David sneered. The female cultivator’s cold-hearted selfishness suggested the sect’s atmosphere was utterly despicable.


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


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


    shed in David’s eyes.


    He wasn’t a bloodthirsty man, but he adhered to the principle of “treating others with respect, and retaliating in kind.”


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


    Moreover, annihting such a demonic sect would not only yield resources but also be considered acting on behalf of Heaven.


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