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

Chapter 151 Let's happily pass the buck together!
At this moment, a sword master who had remained silent suddenly spoke up:
“But Cao Meng did appear in the Ten Thousand Glaciers and Snow Mountains, and given the incident at Biyun Peak of the Xuantian Sect, he is indeed a suspect!”

Xuanling Daoist immediately turned his gaze to the other party and rebuked him, saying:

"Han Guang, don't forget how you got back. Do you even have the right to speak here?"

That's right, this person is none other than the Master of the Cold Light Sword!
During the sword competition, after capturing the master of the Cold Light Sword, Consort Duanmu betrayed him and sold him to the Corpse Yin Sect.

The fact that the Cold Light Sword Master was able to return to the Sword Inquiry Sect was only possible because the Sword Inquiry Sect paid a considerable price to redeem him from the Corpse Yin Sect.

Xuanling Daoist gets furious whenever he sees the Cold Light Sword Master. If it weren't for him and his dead disciple, the Sword Inquiry Sect would have lost face at the Sword Debate Sect.

What infuriated Xuanling Daoist even more was that the Sword Inquiry Sect paid a considerable price to redeem the Cold Light Sword Master from the Corpse Yin Sect.

At the same time, the other sword masters also began to criticize the Cold Light Sword Master.

They all knew that the reason why the Cold Light Sword Master was targeting Cao Meng was because Cao Meng had killed Cold Light's disciple, and Cold Light had also been beaten up by Consort Duanmu.

Xuanling Daoist paused for a moment before speaking:

"We publicly claimed that the techniques of my Sword Inquiry Sect had been leaked, and that Cao Meng had obtained the techniques of the Longevity Sword Sect—including 'One Sword Separates Worlds'—in a secret realm."
"If any Xuantian Sect disciple dies due to the techniques of the Wenjian Sect, it will have nothing to do with my Wenjian Sect!"

Xuanling Daoist felt that since Xuantian Sect was going to do this, he had no choice but to retaliate in kind.

The Xuantian Sect can shift the blame onto Cao Meng, and so can the Wenjian Sect.

Cao Meng: You guys in the righteous sects are messing around, aren't you? You want me to take the blame for everything, huh?
At this moment, Xuanling Daoist suddenly turned his gaze to the master of the Cold Light Sword and sneered:

"Han Guang, because of your and your disciple Lin Chen's behavior during the Sword Debate Competition, my Sword Inquiry Sect has lost all face."

After deliberation, the elders within the forbidden area have decided to strip you of your title as the Eighth Sword Master and demote you to the position of Hall Master!

The Cold Light Sword Master's performance this time was terrible, and some of the elders in the forbidden area were very disappointed in him.

Han Guang felt a chill in his heart upon hearing that he had been stripped of his title as the Eighth Sword Master.

Having lost his status as the Eighth Sword Master, his privileges and treatment at the Sword Inquiry Sect were no longer as good.

After stripping Han Guang of his title as the Eighth Sword Master, Xuanling Daoist turned his gaze to a hall master and smiled:

"Junior Brother Jingguang, you and Hanguang are fellow disciples, therefore the elders of the Forbidden Land have decided to temporarily appoint you as the Eighth Sword Master!"

Jing Guang is Han Guang's fellow disciple, and his cultivation level is at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Because he was Han Guang's junior brother, he was qualified to inherit the position of Sword Master.

Han Guang felt even colder upon seeing that Jing Guang had inherited his position as sword master.

This means that his master in the forbidden area chose to abandon him and instead chose his junior brother Jing Guang.

Xuanling Daoist looked at the dazed Han Guang and rebuked him, saying:

"Han Guang, now that everyone is here, hand over the token of the Eighth Sword Master to Junior Brother Jing Guang in front of everyone!"

Under the watchful eyes of the high-ranking officials, Han Guang had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the token of the Eighth Sword Master to Jing Guang.

He believed it was only temporary, after all, Jing Guang was only temporarily assuming the position of Sword Master, and he would eventually reclaim the position.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

After Jing Guang became the eighth sword master, he bowed to Xuanling Daoist to express his gratitude.

Although it's only temporary, as long as I don't make any mistakes and maintain good relationships with the other sword masters, there shouldn't be any problem with me becoming a permanent member!

“Junior Brother Jingguang, you shouldn’t thank me. You should thank all the patriarchs, and you should thank your master!”

Xuanling Daoist politely declined Jing Guang's thanks, feeling that the person Jing Guang should thank the most was not him, nor the old ancestors in the forbidden areas, but Han Guang.

If Han Guang hadn't ruined his own position as Sword Master, how could Jing Guang have become the acting Sword Master?

……

Suqin Peak of the Hehuan Sect...

Cao Meng's new house was built to a standard far exceeding that of his direct disciples; it was constructed entirely according to the standards of the hall master's residence.

Is that Cao Meng's residence? That's clearly Xia Yulan's residence!
After discussing the principles of Yin and Yang complementarity all night, Xia Yulan and Cao Meng walked out of the room together. She saw Shishi glaring at her from the doorway, so she began to complain to Cao Meng:
"You little rascal, can't you control your little pet?!"

Xia Yulan also learned about Shishi's background, and she felt that Shishi was an alien pet kept by Cao Meng.

"You're the pet!"

Shishi disliked Xia Yulan, feeling that this wicked woman had taken over her food.

Cao Meng pinched Shishi's huffy little face and said:

"Shishi is not a pet!"

Xia Yulan saw Cao Meng and Shi Shi's deep affection for each other, even though they were still alive, and thought Cao Meng had really a heavy taste.

No sooner had Xia Yulan left than Consort Duanmu came to steal from her house.

After Consort Duanmu appeared, she immediately imprisoned Shishi outside the door.

Having lived with Xia Yulan for the past few days, Cao Meng now instinctively feels a bit intimidated when he sees the female demon.

Consort Duanmu lay on the bed, languidly saying:

“Traitorous disciple, the Xuantian Sect is now saying that you impersonated Liu Ruyan and attacked the Wenjian Sect disciples.”

"what!"

Cao Meng was immediately shocked. He had handled this matter very cleanly back then, and Xuan Tian Sect shouldn't have known about it!
Consort Duanmu noticed that Cao Meng's expression was off and exclaimed in surprise:

"You traitor, it really was you!"

She originally thought it was just a frame-up by the Xuantian Sect, but after talking to this traitor, she didn't expect to actually get it out of him unintentionally.

"Master, how could this be me?"

When Cao Meng realized he had been exposed, he quickly feigned innocence.

Consort Duanmu was very angry at Cao Meng's pretentious act.

I am the master of this rebellious disciple, and yet this rebellious disciple is still putting on an act for me.

That wretched disciple actually doesn't trust his master! He deserves to be taught a lesson!

"You traitor, why do you know Crescent Moon Sword and Spring Breeze Rain?"

Duanmu Fei was puzzled as to why Cao Meng knew Crescent Moon Sword and Spring Breeze Rain, after all, these were the secrets of Biyun Peak of Xuantian Sect!

As for Cao Meng being an undercover agent, Consort Duanmu had never considered that.

Who would send out a peerless genius or a divine body to be an undercover agent?

Furthermore, the ruthlessness this traitor displayed towards the Xuantian Sect within the Longevity Sword Sect's secret realm—could an undercover agent possibly do such a thing?
"Master, would you believe me if I said I dug up the ancestral graves of the Xuantian Sect?"

Seeing that he could no longer keep up the act, Cao Meng tacitly admitted that he was impersonating Liu Ruyan.

As for the matter of learning the Biyun Peak technique of the Xuantian Sect, Cao Meng really couldn't explain it.

He couldn't very well tell the female demon directly that he had been Su Qingyue's disciple for a lifetime, and that Su Qingyue had taught him the Crescent Moon Sword and Spring Breeze Rain techniques, could he?

When he couldn't explain it clearly, Cao Meng could only make things up.

Seeing that Cao Meng was talking nonsense, Consort Duanmu rolled her eyes at this rebellious disciple and said helplessly:

"You traitor! The Sword Inquiry Sect and the Profound Heaven Sect haven't even started fighting yet. You're not allowed to use any of the Profound Heaven Sect's techniques in front of others, lest you expose yourselves!"

Consort Duanmu knew that Cao Meng had a secret, but since this traitor was unwilling to talk about it, she didn't want to delve into it further, after all, everyone has some secrets to some extent.

Under these circumstances, Consort Duanmu could only remind Cao Meng to be careful.

After all, anyone who isn't a fool can see that Xuantian Sect is slandering Cao Meng.

As long as Cao Meng remains hidden, the Xuantian Sect will have to continue arguing and antagonizing the Wenjian Sect!
