Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 104 The Void Refining Ancestor was terrified!

Xi Feng wanted to take Cao Meng as his apprentice for two reasons: first, Cao Meng's aptitude, and second, Xia Yulan's request.

Xia Yulan knew that she couldn't compete with Consort Duanmu and couldn't possess Cao Meng.

So she came up with this idea: to have her master, Xi Feng, accept Cao Meng as a disciple and elevate his seniority.

Then Xia Yulan can use the name of her senior sister to monopolize Cao Meng.

Xia Yulan had already planned that after she took Cao Meng under her wing, she could use the Supreme Yang Pearl and bubble tea to increase her influence within the sect.

If we get Master Xifeng to pull some strings, the position of Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect might just end up in the Xia family's hands!
Faced with the choice of adding a generational title, Cao Meng fell into thought for a moment.

With her own woman being poached, how could Consort Duanmu possibly remain calm?

She came to Cao Meng's side and whispered:

“Traitorous disciple, I only have disobedient disciples, not traitors.”

"Xi Feng is at the Void Refinement stage, but your grandmaster is also at the Void Refinement stage, so she can't protect you!"

Faced with the death threat from his female demon master, Cao Meng had no choice but to politely decline Xi Feng's advances.

An Yingji breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Cao Meng had not succeeded in being promoted to the next generation.

After all, she simply couldn't accept that this bastard junior brother had become a bastard senior uncle!
Seeing that Cao Meng refused, Xi Feng didn't say anything more.

After all, it's okay to undermine Duanmu Fei's relationship a little; undermining her too much is not good, since she has powerful backers.

Seeing that the Void Refinement stage elders from various sects had all arrived, the withered old Taoist said:

"Gentlemen, there's really no need to continue the sword competition. Why don't we talk about the secret realm of the Longevity Sword Sect?"

For them, the sword competition was just a formality and didn't mean much.

"That's right!"

"There's really no need to waste time!"

As soon as the old Taoist priest with withered bones spoke, the other sects also expressed their support, all feeling that the sword competition was a waste of time.

Originally, the Sword Competition was just a matter between the Sword Quest Sect and the Demon Sword Sect, but these two sects insisted on dragging the investors into it.

Their investment in the Sword Competition wasn't just to play along with the Sword Inquiry Sect and the Demon Sword Sect, but rather to allow their disciples to enter the Longevity Sword Sect's secret realm and seek opportunities.

Having participated in so many sword-fighting competitions with the Sword Inquiry Sect and the Demon Sword Sect, it's time to change the rules.

Seeing that the righteous and demonic sects were of one mind, the Demon Sword Sect and the Sword Inquiry Sect could only submit to the majority.

The Void Refinement stage elder of Tianyuan Valley suddenly turned his gaze to the withered old Taoist and rebuked him:

"You dare to tarnish my reputation, young man! Today I will teach you a lesson!"

The Void Refinement stage patriarch of Tianyuan Valley was none other than Zhang Xiuyuan's master, Su Jue.

Su Jue already knew that his business of selling corpses to the Corpse Yin Sect had been exposed. The thought that his noble character had been ruined by the old Daoist Ku Gu filled him with immense rage.

He felt that the Corpse Yin Sect had no professional ethics. They had clearly stated that they would keep the client's information confidential and not disclose it to others, but they betrayed him.

Today, Su Jue intends to teach the Bone Daoist a lesson, to make the Corpse Yin Sect understand that dishonesty in business and failure to protect customer transaction information will come at a price.

Seeing that Su Jue was about to cause trouble, the withered bone Taoist said in a sinister tone:

"Su Jue, are you going to fight me?"
"Jie Jie Jie!"

With a sinister laugh from the Bone Taoist, the stone coffin he carried opened a crack, releasing an extremely poisonous, millennia-old corpse aura.

The withered skeletal Taoist took a deep breath, drawing in the millennia-old corpse energy into his body, and his body, which had been as rotten as wood, suddenly became muscular.

The skeletal Taoist priest, who was originally half-dead, instantly transformed into a burly and strong man.

Whether due to the lingering aura of ten thousand years of corpse energy or some other reason, the withered skeletal Daoist now had dark purple skin, with strange black patterns coiled around his body. "It's you!"

Su Jue looked at the withered skeletal Taoist in front of him, and at this moment, fear appeared in the eyes of this Void Refinement stage expert.

It was clear that Su Jue recognized the withered old Taoist priest in this appearance and was very afraid of him.

The withered old Taoist looked at Su Jue, whose face was filled with terror, and sneered mockingly:

"Su Jue, do you still want to fight me?"

Su Jue dared not answer, and even began to subconsciously back away. Yes, he was afraid!

???

The powerful cultivators at the Void Refinement stage from various sects were puzzled to see Su Jue so frightened by the withered old Taoist.

Su Jue was clamoring to teach the Bone Daoist a lesson, but now he's cowered like this before they've even fought. Has his Void Refinement stage cultivation gone to waste?

Su Jue didn't offer much explanation, because there was no need to tell these people what he knew.

"Since we're not going to fight, let's discuss the matter of the Longevity Sword Sect's secret realm!"

Seeing that his opponent dared not make a move due to his unwavering resolve, the withered skeletal Taoist withdrew his aura and reverted to his original half-dead, withered appearance.
"Can!"

Su Jue was the first to nod in agreement. When Zhang Xiuyuan, the sect leader of Tianyuan Valley, saw his master Su Jue's appearance, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Zhang Xiuyuan had originally hoped that Su Jue would help him get revenge after he arrived, but the result was that Su Jue was scared to death by the skeleton!

Zhang Xiuyuan screamed wildly in his heart:

Master, you'd be better off not coming at all, to avoid making a fool of yourself!
You got caught selling corpses and it was bad enough, but now you're being scared like a dog by others. I, Zhang Xiuyuan, am too embarrassed to call myself your disciple!

……

After discussion, the Void Refinement stage experts from various sects agreed that each sect, except for the Sword Inquiry Sect and the Demon Sword Sect, could send twenty Golden Core cultivators and three Nascent Soul Stage 2 cultivators into the Longevity Sword Sect's secret realm.

As for the Demon Sword Sect and the Sword Inquiry Sect, as the hosts, they should be treated preferentially and can send six Nascent Soul Stage 2 cultivators and forty Golden Core cultivators.

After all, the Demon Sword Sect and the Sword Inquiry Sect were the hosts, and the other sects couldn't cut off their privileges too drastically, lest they push them too far.

The Demon Sword Sect and the Sword Inquiry Sect were almost cursing. They had directly cut into their vital arteries. Wasn't that going too far?

It should be noted that in the past, during the Longevity Sword Sect's secret realm, which they only visited once every three hundred years, the two sects would send at least twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, all of whom were at least at the seventh level of Nascent Soul.

This time, they could only send six Nascent Soul Level 2 cultivators. Keep in mind that six Nascent Soul Level 2 cultivators are not as good as one Nascent Soul Level 7 cultivator.

The secret realm of the Longevity Sword Sect will open one day from now, giving each sect a day to prepare.

The Hehuan Sect's rest area...

Consort Duanmu is explaining the precautions to the Hehuan Sect members who are entering the secret realm.

The mere thought of this made Consort Duanmu furious.

This should have been popularized by the two host sects, the Sword Inquiry Sect and the Demon Sword Sect, but because their privileges were reduced, these two sects became passive and negligent in protest, so each sect had to popularize it on its own.

After Duanmu Fei finished explaining things to everyone, just as she was about to give Cao Meng some private instructions, Zi Xixue, the sect leader of the Beast Soul Sect, came over for a visit.

Zi Xixue looked at Cao Meng in front of her, examined him carefully, and said:
"Cao Meng, this should be the first time I have formally met you."

Looking at Cao Meng's otherworldly appearance, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that he was already a Daoist couple with Xia Yulan, so she didn't have to worry about Consort Duanmu anymore.

"Junior Cao Meng greets Sect Master Zi!"

When Cao Meng saw that Zi Xixue had taken the initiative to speak to him, he bowed in return.
