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

Chapter 158 Familiar People Making a Living
"Fellow Daoist Nie Xuan, broaden your horizons a bit!"

"Perhaps the mountains you see are just small hills in front of my Corpse Yin Sect."

"My Corpse Yin Sect is willing to be on par with your Joyful Union Sect, but that doesn't mean your Joyful Union Sect really has the strength to be on par with my Corpse Yin Sect."

The difference between a small hill and a high mountain is beyond your imagination!

As soon as Tie Sen finished speaking, he suddenly released a terrifying pressure that enveloped Nie Xuan.

Nie Xuan needed proof, right? Tie Sen will give her some proof!
Under Tie Sen's oppressive aura, Nie Xuan, a third-level Nascent Soul cultivator, had no power to resist and was on the verge of suffocation, just like a mortal!
"I'm sorry, I startled Fellow Daoist Nie Xuan!"

After withdrawing his terrifying spiritual power, Tiesen apologized.

After all, he only wanted to use his own strength to prove to Nie Xuan the difference between the Corpse Yin Sect and the Joyful Union Sect, not to start a war with the Joyful Union Sect.

What level of cultivation are you at?

Nie Xuan felt a chill run down her spine whenever she thought of the spiritual pressure released by Tie Sen.

At the same time, she secretly sent a telepathic message to call for reinforcements and activated the great formation of Spring Breeze City to prevent Tie Sen from making a move!
Tiesen waved his hand and said calmly:

"Fellow Daoist Nie Xuan, you are merely a half-step Void Refinement cultivator, not worth mentioning!"

That's right, he is a Nascent Soul expert, but even a half-step Void Refinement stage cultivator is still a Nascent Soul expert!
"!!!"

"A mere half-step Void Refinement stage cultivator? Do you even know how to speak like a human being?"

Nie Xuan felt that Tie Sen was showing off. She knew that with the various sects' Void Refinement stage elders no longer appearing, a half-step Void Refinement stage cultivator was already considered top-tier combat power.

You, Tie Sen, a mere half-step Void Refinement cultivator, have come all this way to deliver things and pass on messages. Where has your half-step Void Refinement cultivation gone?
You are sick!
Tie Sen: You frogs in a well, do you know how fierce the internal competition is within the Corpse Yin Sect?

In the Corpse Yin Sect, someone at the half-step Void Refinement stage couldn't even get the position of hall master; they could only be a high-level elder.

A Void Refinement stage ancestor is extremely rare in your sects, but there are many in the Corpse Yin Sect.

In the Corpse Yin Sect, only those who reach the Refinement stage can become a hall master and rise to a high-ranking position in the sect!

In other words, to avoid scaring you, many of the Void Refinement stage elders of the Corpse Yin Sect claim to be at the Nascent Soul stage, such as the Corpse Yin Sect Master, the Dry Bone Daoist.

If you want livestock to gain weight rapidly, you can't put pressure on them. Livestock will only gain weight rapidly when they are carefree.

"Senior Tessen, I'll think about it!"

Cao Meng politely declined, even though he really wanted to destroy the Xuantian Sect, he didn't want to get himself involved.

Going to the Corpse Yin Sect is supposed to be a blessing? No, it's a place to be turned into living corpses and work for free for that weird loli, Chi Liyu!

Now that I have a cheat code, I will destroy the Xuantian Sect sooner or later.

There's absolutely no need to sell yourself out now and seek help from the Corpse Yin Sect!

"Fellow Daoist Cao Meng, don't rush to give an answer. You'd better think it over carefully."

This world is vast; one cannot look down upon all living beings from atop a mound of earth.

Only when you become a living corpse of a venerable one will you be qualified to stand atop the mountain and look down upon all living beings!

Although Cao Meng politely declined, Tie Sen was not angry, but instead offered some further advice.

Although the undead are corpse puppets, they retain their consciousness and are almost like humans.

To put it bluntly, most people don't even qualify to be turned into a zombie.

After all, turning a living person into a living corpse is too costly. The resources consumed in this process could easily create a dozen or so Void Refinement stage cultivators.

Tie Sen thought it was foolish of Cao Meng to give up becoming Chi Liyu's living corpse. However, Tie Sen also understood, after all, Cao Meng was just a direct disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

The Hehuan Sect is nothing more than a well, and Cao Meng is a frog at the bottom of that well; it's normal that his knowledge and vision are limited.

After admonishing Cao Meng, Tie Sen clasped his hands in a fist and bowed before leaving.

As for Cao Meng, Tie Sen believed that the young man would one day realize that the Hehuan Sect was just a well and understand the vastness of the outside world.

No sooner had Tie Sen left Chunfeng City than Duanmu Fei arrived with several Nascent Soul experts.

"Junior Sister Nie Xuan, what's going on?"

Where is the enemy attacking?

"Who is the enemy?"

As soon as Duanmu Fei and her companions arrived, they began to inquire about the situation.

The message they received was about an enemy attack, which is why they rushed over immediately. They were puzzled as to why they didn't see any enemies.

"Senior sisters, this can't be considered an enemy attack; it's a show of force from the Corpse Yin Sect!"

"..."

Nie Xuan recounted the whole story to Duanmu Fei and the others.

"The Corpse Yin Sect sent a half-step Void Refinement cultivator to deliver a message; that's quite a grand gesture!"

After learning the truth, Consort Duanmu was furious.

She, Duanmu Fei, had finally cultivated to the half-step Void Refinement stage, but the Corpse Yin Sect actually sent a half-step Void Refinement stage cultivator to deliver a message, trying to poach her talent.

Is this telling others that someone at the half-step Void Refinement stage is only fit to run errands and deliver messages in the Corpse Yin Sect?
Even if the Corpse Yin Sect is powerful, you don't deserve to humiliate people like this!
Corpse Yin Sect, you have gone too far in insulting us!

Tiancong and Xuanling Daoist: We haven't even reached the half-step Void Refinement stage, let alone have the qualifications to run errands and deliver messages. You, Consort Duanmu, should be content!

Peak Master Song Yafei smiled and said to Duanmu Fei:

"Senior Sister Duanmu, don't you have a deep grudge against Su Qingyue?"
"Why not send Cao Meng to the Corpse Yin Sect and let them destroy the Xuan Tian Sect? That way, we can see if the Corpse Yin Sect has the power to destroy a top-tier righteous sect!"

Duanmu Fei ignored Song Yafei and turned her gaze directly to Cao Meng, warning him:

"You unfilial disciple, did you hear me? Don't anger your master anymore, or I'll sell you to the Corpse Yin Sect!"

Recently, a certain rebellious disciple has been too disobedient, so this is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson.

At this moment, Cao Meng's gaze was entirely fixed on the cold and beautiful female cultivator in white robes and feather skirt beside Consort Duanmu.

Although this was Cao Meng's first time meeting the other party, he always felt that there was a familiar aura about him.

Shen Aoxue became somewhat displeased when she noticed Cao Meng staring at her.

Is there something on my face? This lecherous man has been staring at me!
Could it be that Cao Meng discovered his identity?
This is impossible!
When Consort Duanmu saw that Cao Meng dared to be distracted and peek at someone else in front of her, she was instantly enraged. She grabbed the rebellious disciple by the ear and scolded him:
"You unfilial disciple, what are you looking at? This is your martial aunt Shen Aoxue—the peak master of Wanqi Peak! Show her some respect!"

Consort Duanmu and Shen Aoxue had a decent relationship, mainly because Shen Aoxue was unable to compete for the position of sect leader for some reason, and even her disciples and grand-disciples were unable to compete for the position.
Shen Aoxue herself is not able to compete for the position of sect leader, nor does she express support for anyone, so she is neutral. Therefore, she has a good relationship with the other peak masters, and at least no one is willing to make enemies with her!

After all, only a fool would antagonize a neutral party and create another enemy.

Upon hearing that the aloof and beautiful female cultivator in white feather dress was Shen Aoxue, the peak master of Wanqi Peak, he immediately became a little timid and quickly bowed, saying:
“Uncle Shen, I sensed the presence of a senior from you just now, so I was offended. Please forgive me, Uncle Shen.”

Shen Aoxue is Ying Ling'er's master. If Ying Ling'er really complains, it will be troublesome.
