My Fairy Growth System

At the foot of Thousand Beasts Mountain, the atmosphere was tense.

Over twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators set up a checkpoint to collect tolls, and by the side of the road in front of the checkpoint lay seven or eight Cultivators' corpses in tragic states, while over a hundred Loose Cultivators were discussing countermeasures in front of the checkpoint.

Yu Qingtan was dressed in a black skirt, had changed her face with a Disguising Mask to a common appearance, and pretended to be a female Loose Cultivator at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment as she entered the group of Loose Cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Tian Xiang, a Loose Cultivator from Tianxiang Immortal City. Who are those people over there? They actually dare to charge us Loose Cultivators a toll."

Yu Qingtan sent a telepathic message to a middle-aged Loose Cultivator with a benevolent face.

"Alas, I am the Loose Cultivator Chen Sheng. Those are disciples of Extreme Path Demon Sect, Red Dust Demon Sect, Yin Corpse Demon Sect, Blood Shadow Demon Sect, and many other Demon Sects, bullying us Loose Cultivators with their strong powers!"

Yu Qingtan suddenly understood; Extreme Path Demon Sect and Red Dust Demon Sect were two of the powerful Divinity Transformation-level Demon Sect forces in the Southeast Region, and under them were many other weaker Demon Sect forces, such as Yin Corpse Demon Sect and Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

"Don't those righteous Sect Gates care at all?" Yu Qingtan asked Chen Sheng through telepathy.

"Heh, righteous Sect Gates, they don't have to hand over Spirit Stones, so naturally, they won't stand up for us Loose Cultivators."

The middle-aged Loose Cultivator Chen Sheng replied, indignant.

"Indeed infuriating!"

Yu Qingtan felt a strong distaste for the Extreme Path Demon Sect.

As they spoke, a group of Cultivators arrived at the scene, glanced at the situation, and then walked straight towards the passageway.

"Halt, which force are you from?" asked a red-dressed male Cultivator from the blockade.

The leading Cultivator took out a piece of Identity Jade and said, "Tri-Sun Sect."

The red-dressed male Cultivator glanced at it, waved his hand, and a few Cultivators cleared the way.

Although the leading Cultivator from Tri-Sun Sect felt displeased, he said nothing and led his Sect members through the passageway.

Actually, Demon Sects often acted like this in various open Secret Realms; although the righteous ones looked down on such behavior, they were too lazy to bother with these trivial matters.

At this moment, a white-dressed male among the Loose Cultivators sent a telepathic message to Yu Qingtan, "Fellow Daoist Qing, Fellow Daoist Chen Sheng has just introduced me to you, I am the Loose Cultivator Wu Guang. As you can see, the Demon Sect is wantonly oppressing us Loose Cultivators. My White Sky Cult wishes to rise up in resistance, and I wonder if you would be interested in joining us."

Yu Qingtan's eyes narrowed, and she thought, "White Sky Cult, huh, it's more like the Cang Sky Cult!"

She knew that the protector Gong Ping of the Cang Sky Cult had obtained a Jade Slip with information about the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm at an auction in Suichuan Immortal City and would surely send a large number of people into the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, naturally I am interested. But the other side consists of disciples from large Sect Gates with formidable strength, and we Loose Cultivators are likely no match!" Yu Qingtan sent a telepathic message back.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Qing, our numbers are several times theirs, and we will also have some experts coming over soon, so the advantage is ours. When we take action later, I hope Fellow Daoist Qing will lend a hand."

Wu Guang confidently responded.

"Good!"

Yu Qingtan agreed, and she was also curious about who the experts Wu Guang mentioned were.

Yu Qingtan then waited with many other Loose Cultivators not far from the checkpoint, and the Demon Sect Cultivators who set up the blockade didn't bother with them.

From time to time, Cultivators emerged from the forest. Cultivators from large forces were directly let through, while smaller sects and family cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level were treated as Loose Cultivators by the Demon Sect Cultivators and required to pay a toll.

Although furious, most still handed over the Spirit Stones.

While ten thousand Spirit Stones weren't a small sum, for Foundation Establishment Cultivators with the support of powers behind them, it didn't amount to much, considering it as feeding Spirit Stones to dogs.

Some Loose Cultivators also gritted their teeth and paid the toll, entering the perimeter of Thousand Beasts Mountain.

However, many Loose Cultivators couldn't produce the ten thousand Spirit Stones and could only watch helplessly at the checkpoint.

Half a day had passed, and surprisingly, over two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators had gathered here, among them were two acquaintances of Yu Qingtan.

Fu Nian and Fang Ling.

Although both had disguised themselves somewhat, Yu Qingtan still recognized them by their figures, yet he didn't approach to acknowledge them.

At this moment, Yu Qingtan's disguise was more meticulous, and the two did not recognize her, but they also mingled among the groups of Loose Cultivators.

Just then, a troop of beautiful female cultivators arrived at the scene, led by a woman in a goose-yellow dress—it was none other than Yan Xi and others from Tianxiang Valley.

"Stop, which power do you belong to?"

A red-clad demon cultivator asked routinely.

"Tianxiang Valley!" Yan Xi responded coldly, as she too had heard of the demon cultivators' shameless acts of highway robbery.

"Your Identity Jade?"

Asked the red-clad demon cultivator.

Yan Xi stiffened upon hearing this, as her Storage Bag had been stolen by Yu Qingtan, thus her Identity Jade was naturally lost as well.

"This is my Identity Jade," said a late-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator from Tianxiang Valley, presenting her Identity Jade as she spoke.

The red-clad demon cultivator's eyes rolled, his lewd gaze fixed on Yan Xi as he chuckled, "You, the leader, don't have your Identity Jade, that won't do. You must pay a toll then!"

He was deliberately looking for trouble, intending to harass the beautiful female cultivator a bit.

"You!" Yan Xi was furious, her fist clenching tight.

"What's the matter, want to start a fight? Even if it's Qunfang Pavilion's, you'd still have to follow my rules here."

The red-clad demon cultivator's mouth curled up disdainfully.

"Ximen Qing, a mere inner sect disciple of Red Dust Demon Sect, dares to bark and howl in front of us orthodox cultivators. If others don't strike you, it is only because they fear being disgusted by that thing you have. Today, I, Li Daoyi, will slay you right here, eliminating a scourge from the Southeast Region."

Then, a resounding voice came from the forest.

A youth in white Daoist robes appeared in everyone's sight – a young man with thick eyebrows, large eyes, a fair complexion devoid of any facial hair, and his hair arranged in a Daoist bun, carrying five long swords on his back, exuding an imposing aura.

"Cangqiong Sword Sect, Li Daoyi, such grand words! One would think the venerated Wu Di of the Cangqiong Sword Sect himself had descended. You, an outer sect disciple of Cangqiong Sword Sect, also dare to speak so boldly to me, aren't you afraid of making others laugh aloud? Today, I will take your head and return to my sect to claim a reward."

Ximen Qing, the red-clad demon cultivator, retorted with scorn.

He had heard of Li Daoyi, for this man abhorred evil and would often act against cultivators of demon sects, and had already been placed on the kill list of the Red Dust Demon Sect.

Li Daoyi stopped talking, the five swords on his back unsheathed, forming an arcane formation as he lunged toward where Ximen Qing was.

"Five Elements Linked Sword Formation, Outer Sword Sword Cultivator!" Seeing this, Ximen Qing's expression changed, but he remained undaunted, taking out a black three-legged cauldron to meet the attack.

At this moment, Yu Qingtan also received a mental message from Wu Guang.

"Friend Qing, this is the moment, let's make our move!"

Simultaneously, Yu Qingtan saw over sixty Loose Cultivators begin to utilize their abilities, launching an assault on the other twenty or so Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were setting up the blockade.

"Humph! I wondered why Li Daoyi dared to make a move, turns out he has colluded with this bunch of Loose Cultivators. Sadly, however many there are, they are just trivial, like chickens and dogs. Since they court death, let's go, my friends Chen and Xue. Join me in slaughtering them!"

That was when another pale-faced red-clad demon cultivator snorted coldly.

Yu Qingtan had also inquired about the basic information of these leader demon cultivators from Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and others before.

The red-clad demon cultivator who just spoke was named Gao Shen, an inner sect disciple of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, specializing in the Fire Dao.

The two Gao Shen mentioned were Chen Shi, an inner sect disciple of Yin Corpse Demon Sect, and Xue Mei, an inner sect disciple of Blood Shadow Demon Sect.
