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

Chapter 157 People from the Corpse Yin Sect Have Arrived!
Xuantian Pavilion...

"Hey you playing the piano, pay attention!"

"And those who use the xiao (a type of flute) too!"

"And you too!"

Cao Meng lay on a recliner, pointing and gesturing at the female employees.

A stunningly beautiful female cultivator in red suddenly appeared behind Cao Meng and said:
"Nephew Cao Meng, how elegant!"

Cao Meng turned his head and greeted the newcomer in a calm tone:
"Greetings, Martial Aunt Nie Xuan!"

Nie Xuan is one of the high-ranking members of the Hehuan Sect and serves as the city lord of Chunfeng City.

As the foremost of the four guardian cities of the Hehuan Sect and the face of the sect, Chunfeng City's city lord, Nie Xuan, is naturally no weakling, possessing the strength of a third-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

Nie Xuan patted Cao Meng on the shoulder and smiled:
"Nephew Cao Meng, you seem a little unhappy to see your uncle!"

"Uncle-Master, you swindled me out of 500,000 low-grade spirit stones a few days ago!"

It would be strange if Cao Meng were happy. Some time ago, in order to open the Xuantian Pavilion, he was thinking of acquiring a piece of land in Chunfeng City.

As a result, the city lord Nie Xuan didn't give him any face at all and directly killed him for 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Cao Meng was so angry that he almost took out the Divine Desire Powder and poisoned the woman!

"Junior Nephew Cao, you must understand, these are all sect rules!"

Nie Xuan immediately used the sect's rules to pressure Cao Meng, which is very much in line with leadership.

According to the sect rules, she serves as the city lord of Spring Breeze City and is responsible for guarding the city. Therefore, she has absolute authority over Spring Breeze City.

“Nephew Cao Meng, if it were just because you are a direct disciple, I would not accept spirit stones.”

Once a precedent is set, what happens next? I, as a senior apprentice, won't be able to give everyone an explanation!

"Moreover, your Xuantian Pavilion is too hated, and you never know when it might attract the Xuantian Sect's revenge."

Because of your Xuan Tian Pavilion, my burden has become considerably heavier!

Nie Xuan explained her predicament, and it was precisely because of this that she dared to openly and honestly embezzle Cao Meng's meal.

Because Nie Xuan was in the right, even Duanmu Fei, the sect leader, couldn't say anything!
Of course, there were other reasons why Consort Duanmu didn't care about this matter, because it was related to Xia Yulan.

Why should Consort Duanmu interfere in the trouble that Xia Yulan caused?
"Uncle-Master Nie Xuan, don't think I don't know you have a grudge against Uncle-Master Xia!"

Cao Meng rolled his eyes at Nie Xuan. If he hadn't investigated whether Nie Xuan had a grudge against the great demon, he would have really believed her!

It's all Xia Yulan's fault. She offended too many people, and he suffered because of her.

“Nephew Cao Meng, I’ve always kept public and private matters separate. How could I possibly target you because of Xia Yulan?”

When Nie Xuan said this, there was not a trace of sincerity in her eyes, only a hint of amusement, almost as if she were saying directly:

Cao Meng, I'm targeting you because of Xia Yulan!

I almost got poisoned by Xia Yulan's poisonous food back then. As Xia Yulan's little man, who else should I target if not you, Cao Meng?
Female Demon: Traitor, Xia Yulan has offended quite a few people in the Hehuan Sect. If you don't want to be targeted, you'd better be sensible and stay away from her!
"Cough, cough, cough!"

A black-robed male cultivator behind Nie Xuan, who had been serving as decoration for so long, suddenly coughed.

Nie Xuan also came to her senses and got down to business: "Junior Nephew Cao Meng, this Nascent Soul stage Daoist from the Corpse Yin Sect wants to see you."

Now that a member of the Corpse Yin Sect has appeared who is suspected to be at the Integration Stage, the Joyful Union Sect, although both are sects in the Demonic Path, is also on high alert towards him.

Therefore, Nie Xuan specifically kept an eye on the other party and accompanied him to see Cao Meng. Upon hearing that he was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Corpse Yin Sect, Cao Meng clasped his hands and said:
"May I ask what business you have with me, senior?"

"Fellow Daoist Cao Meng, I am Tie Sen, an elder of the Corpse Yin Sect."

Tie Sen returned Cao Meng's greeting. Although he was known as a Nascent Soul expert by outsiders, he was just so-so within the Corpse Yin Sect!
Cao Meng was the living corpse that Chi Liyu had his eye on, and even though Tie Sen was a Nascent Soul expert, he only dared to address Cao Meng as his peer.

Tie Sen handed a photographic stone to Cao Meng and then said:

“Fellow Daoist Cao Meng, this is what the Venerable One ordered me to give you. It contains evidence of three Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Xuan Tian Sect selling the corpses of other cultivators.”

That's right, Tiesen was the messenger.

Even Tie Sen himself was speechless. He felt that with his strength, he could easily deal with the sect leaders of both the righteous and demonic paths, such as Tian Cong, Huangfu Ce, and Jiu Hua Sword Demon.

Now he has all the strength in the world, but he ends up doing trivial things like delivering things and relaying messages!
Sigh, even though it's a phoenix tail, it's still the tail of a divine beast, and it's more valuable than a chicken head!

Back in the secret realm, Chi Liyu promised to give Cao Meng some dirt on the Xuantian Sect.

However, after the Longevity Sword Sect's secret realm ended, the various sects dispersed too quickly, and this information was not given to Cao Meng.

Cao Meng took the photographic stone and examined it, and was immediately shocked:
"Gongye Yuanda, the head of the Enforcement Hall of the Xuantian Sect; Huyan Ke, the peak master of Giant Sword Peak; and Dan Songzi, the peak master of Xuandan Peak!"

The Xuantian Sect has a total of nine peak masters, including the sect leader, and two of them are mentioned in this scandal.

Dan Songzi of Xuan Dan Peak, in particular, is a frequent visitor to the Corpse Yin Sect.

Speaking of that old fellow Dan Songzi, the Corpse Yin Sect's way of making deals is quite peculiar; while others exchange for cultivation resources and the like.

In return for the pine nuts were pill formulas, medicinal herbs, and some alchemy insights.

In my previous life, I had heard that Dan Songzi was obsessed with alchemy, and now it seems that it is true.

Cao Meng is now wondering if giving Dan Songzi a high-level alchemy manual or a high-level pill formula could make him betray his sect!

"If only we had some dirt on Tiancong!"

Cao Meng felt that if there were any scandals about Tian Cong, once they were exposed, Tian Cong's position as sect leader might become unstable.

After all, there is internal competition within all sects of both the righteous and demonic paths.

Although Tian Cong is currently the sect leader of Xuan Tian Sect, there are quite a few peak masters who are eyeing his position.

Seeing that Cao Meng seemed to be still thinking about something, Tie Sen coughed to bring him back to his senses and said:

"Fellow Daoist Cao Meng, the Venerable One asked me to pass on a few words to you. If you want information about the Xuan Tian Sect, you must exchange it for your heart's blood!"

"Tell Chi Liyu that I need to recuperate for a while first!"

Cao Meng was immediately displeased upon hearing this. Did Chi Liyu think he was a blood bank?
Although a cultivator's recovery speed is fast, it doesn't mean that their heart's blood is inexhaustible and can be used as currency!
Last time, Chi Liyu took my heart's blood. If I hadn't spent money to upgrade my physique, I might still be weak now!

"Furthermore, the Venerable One also said that if you are willing to go to the Corpse Yin Sect now..."

The Corpse Yin Sect can help you annihilate any sect in the Eastern Region, including the Xuan Tian Sect!

In the secret realm of the Longevity Sword Sect, Chi Liyu discovered that Cao Meng harbored deep hatred for the Xuantian Sect, which is why she had Tie Sen deliver these words to Cao Meng.

If Cao Meng could be made to willingly become a living corpse, Chi Liyu felt that sacrificing one Xuantian Sect member was no big deal, since the sheep would be slaughtered sooner or later anyway.

"Fellow Daoist Tiesen, even if your Corpse Yin Sect has a Nascent Soul stage expert, it won't be so easy for you to destroy the Xuantian Sect, will it?"

Although Nie Xuan was targeting Cao Meng because of Xia Yulan, now that Tie Sen was poaching people in front of her, a high-ranking member of the Hehuan Sect, it was simply disrespectful and outrageous.

She absolutely will not allow Tiesen to poach her!
PS: How strong is the Corpse Yin Sect?
The older a zombie is, the stronger it becomes!
