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

Chapter 159 Internal Purge within the Xuantian Sect!
At the same time, after learning Shen Aoxue's identity, Cao Meng also realized where the familiarity about her came from. Her temperament was somewhat similar to that of Ying Huai, the widow of the Innate Realm!

As expected of fellow disciples, although they look different, their innate widow-like aura is exactly the same!
Could it be because they were taught by the same master that they even have the same temperament? Is Wanqifeng a place where congenital widows are born?

Shen Aoxue glared at Cao Meng, then left. The others, seeing that nothing else happened, also left.

……

After most of the people had left, Consort Duanmu turned to Cao Meng and asked:

"You traitor, how much do you know about that Chi Liyu? Especially what level of strength does she possess?"

Consort Duanmu is the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect. There are some things that others may not care about, but she must care about!
The Hehuan Sect is currently unsure of Chi Liyu's strength and can only speculate that he is at the Fusion Stage.

"Chi Liyu's strength is unknown, but this girl's strength changes with her height."

"This girl is ruthless. It's like she doesn't have the concept of people at all; everyone is just like livestock to her!"

"This girl has never taken the righteous and demonic sects seriously in her words. It's probably not difficult for her to destroy a top-tier sect!"

Although Cao Meng was unsure of Chi Liyu's true strength, he knew her personality well.

He estimated that this girl was probably capable of destroying a top-tier sect with ease, which was why she looked down on other top-tier sects so much!
Adding to Tiesen's previous remarks, it's like how top-tier sects look down on first- and second-rate sects.

It is likely that the strength of the Corpse Yin Sect far surpasses that of other top-tier sects. Perhaps the gap between other top-tier sects and the Corpse Yin Sect is about the same as the gap between first- or second-rate sects and top-tier sects!

Upon hearing Cao Meng's words, Consort Duanmu frowned deeply, her face turning extremely ugly.

If the Corpse Yin Sect truly possesses the power to easily annihilate a top-tier sect, it would be a devastating blow to that sect.

If Chi Liyu were to force himself on this traitorous disciple even once a day, the Hehuan Sect might not be able to protect him!
If all else fails, I'll take this traitorous disciple and flee from Daozhou in the Eastern Region to escape.

After a moment of distress, Consort Duanmu finally returned to normal.

After browsing through the brothels of Xuantian Pavilion, Duanmu Fei was satisfied with the attire of the female disciples of Xuantian Sect, even though Xuantian Pavilion had not yet started normal business.

“You traitor, get your Xuantian Pavilion up and running quickly.”

Once you've got it up and running, I'll hold a grand apprenticeship ceremony and invite all the sects over for a lively celebration!

Consort Duanmu has made a decision: once Cao Meng's Xuantian Pavilion is up and running, she will hold a grand ceremony to formally accept Cao Meng and Cao Meng as her disciples, and invite everyone she can to help promote Xuantian Pavilion!
The thought that in the future, when people talk about the Xuantian Sect, they will subconsciously think of the Xuantian Pavilion, a brothel, makes her happy!
At the same time, Consort Duanmu had to admire this rebellious disciple's cleverness—no, he was quite wicked!

Aside from murder, arson, extortion, fraud, and deception, Consort Duanmu was a completely good person.

Why is it that the rebellious disciple whom you taught by word and deed is so immoral and so despicable?
It's definitely not that Consort Duanmu failed to teach him well, but rather that this rebellious disciple is utterly immoral!

……

Xuantian Sect thought they had pinned the blame on Cao Meng and given Wenjian Sect an explanation.

But the Sword Sect refused to acknowledge their explanation and instead returned the boomerang to the Xuantian Sect.

Xuantian Sect Council Hall...

"The Sword Inquiry Sect is now very hostile towards our sect. They still firmly believe that Liu Ruyan attacked and killed the Sword Inquiry Sect disciples!" Tian Cong, sitting in the main seat, was very distressed. Before, the Sword Inquiry Sect was asking the Xuan Tian Sect for an explanation, but now the Sword Inquiry Sect doesn't want an explanation at all and has directly started tearing each other apart.

"What's even more despicable is Tianyuan Valley. They know everything, but they just refuse to speak up and testify for Liu Ruyan!"

The hot-tempered peak master Wu Hui spoke up, and many high-ranking members echoed his sentiments.

If the disciples of Tianyuan Valley were willing to testify, Liu Ruyan could clear her name. However, none of the disciples spoke up, thus depriving Liu Ruyan of the opportunity to prove her innocence.

“Zhang Xiuyuan is taking advantage of our misfortune; he’s waiting for us to beg them to testify!”

Tian Cong was well aware of Tianyuan Valley's intentions. To be honest, if he were Zhang Xiuyuan, he would have made the same choice. After all, why not take advantage of a free lunch?
Actually, there is another way to clear Liu Ruyan's name even without witnesses from Tianyuan Valley: a public soul search!

"This is not the most worrying thing. The Hehuan Sect has extensively imprinted Xiao Shenglin's memories and sent them to many small forces and sects. Even several of my Xuantian Sect's affiliated first-class forces have received the memory stones!"

Tiancong felt that Liu Ruyan's matter was a minor issue, and that if all else failed, they could simply sacrifice Liu Ruyan in the future.

The biggest problem is those scandals. Now, thanks to the Hehuan Sect's efforts, those scandals have spread far and wide, and even the affiliated forces of the Xuantian Sect have received them.

This has had a huge impact on the reputation of the Xuantian Sect!
"The Hehuan Sect is truly vicious!"

"A demonic sect is a demonic sect; all they do is resort to underhanded tactics!"

The high-ranking members of the Xuantian Sect are all pointing fingers at the actions of the Hehuan Sect, but they haven't considered that if the Xuantian Sect itself were clean, there wouldn't be such dirt on them!
The head of the Enforcement Hall, Gongye Yuanda, bowed to Tian Cong and made a promise:

"Sect Master, please rest assured that I have severely punished the deputy hall masters, elders, deacons, and disciples involved!"

Gongye Yuanda was preoccupied with matters concerning the Law Enforcement Hall, and launched a major purge.

He killed one of the three deputy hall masters of the Enforcement Hall, and the other two were imprisoned in the dungeon and had their salaries deducted.

The elders, deacons, and disciples were also subjected to a major purge. Thirty percent of them were directly executed, and the rest were either imprisoned in dungeons or had their salaries reduced!

Because of this massive purge, at least 60% of the members of the Enforcement Hall have been implicated, and the hall is now paralyzed. This shows that Gongye Yuanda is serious this time.

Tian Cong was naturally aware of the current situation of the Enforcement Hall. If this matter hadn't escalated, Gongye Yuanda's efforts in rectification would indeed have been sufficient.

But now, thanks to the Hehuan Sect's operations, these things have reached the smaller factions.

Tiancong felt that Gongye Yuanda's efforts to rectify the Enforcement Hall were insufficient under the current circumstances, so he instructed:

"Gongye Yuanda, execute all those who committed minor offenses and those who knew about but failed to report them!"
Furthermore, the powerful families behind those convicted of serious crimes should be severely punished!

Tian Cong immediately imposed a severe punishment. In any case, anyone in the Enforcement Hall who committed a crime, whether major or minor, was to be executed!

"Sect Master, aren't you being a little too strict?"

Gongye Yuanda felt that Tiancong's order was too harsh. If Tiancong's order was carried out, only 10% of the people in the entire Law Enforcement Hall would survive, and then the Xuantian Sect's Law Enforcement Hall would be completely destroyed.
