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

I feel rejected?

After being told the truth by Zi Xixue, Zi Rou'er was a little confused. After careful analysis, it seemed that it really made sense!

What right does this traitorous Cao have to look down on me? I'm the one who should be looking down on him!

Although Zi Xixue outwardly agreed to cancel the marriage, she had not given up on the plan in her heart.

It is an indisputable fact that Cao Meng saw Zi Rou'er's body.

Although only a few people know about it now, if it gets out one day, Zi Rou'er's reputation will be ruined!
Zi Xixue thought that after returning to the Beast Soul Sect, she would tell the elders of the Zi family, and they would probably be happy to arrange the marriage!

They can then put pressure on the higher-ups of the Hehuan Sect to facilitate a marriage alliance between the two sides.

The main hall at the summit had been occupied by Nangong Yan, so Consort Duanmu could only lead everyone to the side hall.

In the side hall, Consort Duanmu looked at Cao Meng and asked:

"You unfilial disciple! That old woman said you tricked her with a fake method of refining the Immortal Inquiry Machine, and even tried to betray your master and kill her!"

As soon as Consort Duanmu said this, everyone turned their attention to Cao Meng.

They naturally knew that the old woman Duanmu Fei was referring to was Nangong Yan, therefore Cao Meng's crime was quite treasonous!

"Master, don't listen to Grandmaster's nonsense. I didn't tease her. It's clearly because she's incompetent and can't learn how to refine the Immortal Inquiry Technique!"

As for the accusation of betraying one's master and ancestors, that's utter nonsense. It was my master who wanted to suppress her cultivation level and fight me. I went all out, and she couldn't afford to play along!

Cao Meng quickly began to explain, after all, he couldn't bear the accusations of mocking his master and betraying his master.

If he admits it, Cao Meng's lifelong reputation will be ruined!
Consort Duanmu was very satisfied with Cao Meng's answer and laughed loudly:

"Nangong Yan, did you hear that? This rebellious disciple said it's your own fault for being bad at the game, that you can't afford to play!"

Although Consort Duanmu did not find any trace of Nangong Yan, she was certain that, given Nangong Yan's personality, she was definitely hiding somewhere, secretly watching this place.

As soon as Duanmu Fei spoke, Nangong Yan indeed appeared.

"You little bastard who betrayed his master and ancestors, how dare you deny it!"

Nangong Yan kicked Cao Meng in the butt as a punishment for daring to do something but not daring to admit it.

"Auntie, what is the 'fairy divination'?"

With a blank expression, Zi Rou'er asked Zi Xixue, "Immortal Secrets"—she had never heard of them before, let alone seen them, but she felt that her aunt should know them.

"Forehead!"

Zi Xixue was embarrassed; she had never seen this thing before!
Not to mention the aunt and niece, even Consort Duanmu, Cao Meng's master, wasn't very clear about the situation. She only knew some things through the sound transmission jade talisman before!
"You unfilial disciple, it seems this little rascal is holding back from you, his master!"

Seeing this as a good opportunity, Nangong Yan immediately spoke up to sow discord.

After all, only when these two treacherous individuals, one big and one small, start fighting amongst themselves can they be defeated one by one.

Before Cao Meng could even begin to explain, the ruthless Duanmu Fei was the first to launch into a sarcastic remark:
"Naive. Do you think I'd fall for your petty tricks of sowing discord?"

Nangong Yan underestimated the bond between herself and that traitorous disciple. It's no doubt that this divine clue was something that traitorous disciple had only come up with recently.

"You unfilial disciple, you have no respect for your elders!"

Nangong Yan was furious. She had lived for over a thousand years and yet someone called her childish, especially since that person was her disciple!
Do you have the demeanor of a master?

Consort Duanmu showed no respect to Nangong Yan and directly retorted.

As An Yingji watched her master and grandmaster arguing, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if it were a scene reminiscent of her rascal junior brother and Consort Duanmu.

At this moment, Cao Meng quickly took out several Immortal Inquiry Machines that he had refined earlier and gave one to each of the female demon, Zi Xixue, and Zi Rou'er.

Actually, he didn't want to send it to Zi Rou'er at all. If it weren't for the fact that Zi Xixue had given him 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones before, he wouldn't have sent it to Zi Rou'er!
"You traitorous disciple! This little scoundrel also knows the Demon Sword Sect's supreme secret technique—'Sword Demon's Fury'! Make him hand over the cultivation method of 'Sword Demon's Fury' and the refining method of 'Asking the Immortal's Secret'!"

Nangong Yan felt that she absolutely had to obtain these two things, especially the method for refining the Immortal Quest.

This is that little rascal's compensation for mocking his own grandmaster, and for betraying his master and ancestors.

Consort Duanmu rolled her eyes at Nangong Yan, then said in an annoyed tone:
"You call yourself a grandmaster? You didn't give anything to your juniors, and you still expect to get things from them? How shameful!"

Consort Duanmu showed Nangong Yan no respect whatsoever, which made Nangong Yan's pretty face turn bright red with anger.

"you you……"

Nangong Yan was so angry that she didn't know how to refute, so she simply broke through the void and fled.

It's just a gift; I'll prepare one myself!
……

Duanmu Fei and her entourage went to the Beast Taming Hall, of course, to see the prisoners who had been captured and suppressed!

Along the way, Cao Meng also taught the female demon and Zi Xixue how to use the Immortal Inquiry Machine, and also explained his group plan!
The adorable and naive Zi Rou'er only found the question about the immortal's secrets interesting, completely unaware of the terror behind them!
At this moment, the two sect leaders, the female demon and Zi Xixue, witnessed something terrifying.

The Jade Transmission Talisman is far too useless in the face of the Immortal Inquiry Technique; it may be heading towards its end.

Even if the sound transmission jade talisman doesn't become extinct, very few people will bother to refine such useless talismans in the future!

Cao Meng's group plan, in particular, is the most terrifying aspect, as it is destined to lead the Wenxianji to the full market of the cultivation world.

"Greetings, Sect Master; greetings, Sect Master Zi; greetings, Senior Sister Xia..."

After bowing, Xu Ru led the group into the dungeon of the Beast Taming Hall.

"Master Xu, your Beast Taming Hall's dungeon has truly broadened my horizons!"

Looking at the various instruments of torture, Zi Xixue couldn't help but sigh.

It should be noted that the Beast Soul Sect is based on the Beast Soul, and it has many instruments of torture for demonic beasts.

After seeing the torture instruments of the Beast Taming Hall today, Zi Xixue felt that the torture instruments of the Beast Soul Sect were somewhat outdated!
After arriving at the cell where Gu Qingfeng was being held, they saw Shishi and Hongqi drawing blood from Gu Qingfeng.

"Cao Meng!"

As soon as Shishi saw Cao Meng, she rushed into his arms.

Hong Qi, on the other hand, had an arrogant expression on her face, as if she didn't even see Cao Meng, her master.

"Fei'er, is this the little apprentice you were talking about? Are you sure you want to hold an apprenticeship ceremony for her?"

Zi Xixue pointed at Shishi and asked Duanmu Fei a question.

Although she had already learned some details about Shishi from Consort Duanmu and Zi Rou'er.

But the moment she saw the other person, she sensed a deadly threat emanating from them; they definitely possessed the ability to hunt her down!
Truly worthy of being the corpse of the 19th generation Holy Maiden of the Longevity Sword Sect, a living corpse transformed from a corpse.

However, Zi Xixue felt that Duanmu Fei's decision to accept the other party as a disciple and hold a disciple-acceptance ceremony was somewhat rash, as this move might offend the Demon Sword Sect and the Sword Inquiry Sect badly.

Zi Xixue thought about it carefully and realized that she had already offended him, after all, Cao Meng was now holding the patriarchs of the Wenjian Sect and the Mojian Sect!
"Ok!"

Duanmu Fei nodded, and then Gu Qingfeng was hung up by chains.

"It really is Gu Qingfeng, the Qingfeng Hall Master of the Xuantian Sect!" Looking at Gu Qingfeng, whose aura was extremely weak, Duanmu Fei couldn't help but sneer.

Gu Qingfeng is considered one of the best among the many hall masters of the Xuantian Sect.

Now that Gu Qingfeng is being held hostage, there's no need to worry about the Xuantian Sect not attending the Hehuan Sect's celebration.

Consort Duanmu looked at Cao Meng, who was holding Shishi, and asked in a cold voice:

"You traitor, what do you plan to do with Gu Qingfeng?"

Consort Duanmu was initially very happy, but Cao Meng embracing another woman in front of her made her very unhappy.

“Master, I plan to give Gu Qingfeng some specially made pills and then send him back to the Xuantian Sect.”

After he returned to the Xuantian Sect, he was transformed into a bloodthirsty monster with intelligence due to the poison from the pill.

He must quell a bloodlust every so often, and those he kills will turn into bloodthirsty monsters!

Seeing that the female demon was unhappy, Cao Meng quickly released Shishi and secretly told her his plan via telepathy.

Honestly, it would be easy to turn Gu Qingfeng into a regular fierce corpse, but that would cause him to lose his mind and only have a bloodthirsty instinct.

It's estimated that Gu Qingfeng didn't kill many people after his zombie transformation before the Xuantian Sect discovered it, and the Xuantian Sect could easily shift the blame, which is not what Cao Meng wanted!

What Cao Meng wanted was a vampire virus similar to the ones in the movies from his hometown, to turn Gu Qingfeng into a sentient, bloodthirsty monster, a bloodthirsty monster that could hide and lurk!

"You unfilial disciple, I approve of your plan."

"However, the Hehuan Sect doesn't have the kind of pill you're looking for, but the Corpse Yin Sect and the Blood Demon Sect might!"

"Of course, your master will also lend you a hand. Your master will ask some of the elders in the forbidden area to refine a special pill for him to take!"

Consort Duanmu expressed her support for Cao Meng's plan via telepathy.

She was even a little impatient; she wanted to see the plan succeed, and even more so, she wanted to see the final outcome.

"Junior Sister Xu, take good care of Gu Qingfeng and make sure he doesn't die. I still need him as a hostage, so make sure he doesn't have an easy time either."

Consort Duanmu gave Xu Ru a special instruction, because if Gu Qingfeng died, her and Cao Meng's plan would be impossible to carry out.

"Little fox, come here and let me hug you!"

When Zi Rou'er first saw Hong Qi, she was captivated by Hong Qi's pink fur, but she found it strange that a fox would wear a hat.

"You lowly Golden Core cultivator, get out of my way, or I'll eat you alive!"

Hong Qi looked down on Zi Rou'er, a mere ant-like being. How dare a lowly ant-like being dream of holding her, Princess Hong Qi!
"Pink fox, come here!"

As soon as Cao Meng spoke, Hong Qi, though unwilling, flew into his arms.

Now she is living under someone else's roof and has no choice but to endure humiliation and hardship.

When Zi Rou'er saw that Hong Qi ignored her and turned around to throw herself into Cao Meng's arms, she was furious.

Where exactly am I inferior to this traitorous Cao Cao?

"This demonic beast is not yet an adult, but it has already reached the late stage of the fourth-order demonic beast. It must be the offspring of a high-order transformed demonic beast. Its future achievements will be at least the sixth or seventh-order transformed demonic beast!"

Zi Xixue, the sect leader of the Beast Soul Sect, could see through Hong Qi's strength at a glance, and thus judged Hong Qi's background.

Upon hearing this, Zi Rou'er was immediately shocked, realizing that her strength was not even as high as that of a beast pet!

"You traitor, you certainly know how to find a pet!"

Consort Duanmu was somewhat surprised to hear that Hongqi would at least become a sixth or seventh-tier demon beast in the future!

The living corpse that this traitor brought back—Shishi's potential was already high enough, but now the beast pet he brought back has such high aptitude too. It's infuriating!
"Grow into a fully-formed demon beast quickly!"

Cao Meng pinched Hong Qi's chubby little face. He had raised her because she helped him commit murder and arson, not because she was there to be cute and playful!

"Humph!"

"I do not!"

Hongqi snorted, protesting in her heart.

Once she takes human form, her devastatingly beautiful appearance will surely bewitch Cao Meng, who will then inevitably force himself on her to take her virginity.

Before I escape from Cao Cao's clutches and ascend to heaven, I must not take human form; only in this way can I preserve my innocence!

……

The atmosphere in the Xuantian Sect's council hall was very heavy, as there were several empty seats!
All those who were absent were Nascent Soul cultivators, and two of them were not ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators: Gu Teng and Gu Qingfeng.

When Gu Teng, the master of Dayuan Peak, was captured by the Corpse Yin Sect, the Xuantian Sect tried its best to rescue him. However, not only was Gu Teng not rescued, but four hall masters at the Nascent Soul stage were also captured.

As for the Nascent Soul, Golden Core, and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who were killed by the Corpse Yin Sect, the number was countless.

If they had known this would be the case, they wouldn't have sent anyone to rescue Gu Teng, but instead would have focused all their efforts on rescuing Gu Qingfeng, who had been captured by the Hehuan Sect. Gu Qingfeng wouldn't have been taken back to the Hehuan Sect so early!

Now, the Xuantian Sect sent troops to try and seize the territory of the Golden Buddha Temple, but they didn't get much land and ended up losing a peak master and five hall masters, which was a huge embarrassment!

With the loss of a peak master, five hall masters, as well as Nascent Soul elders, Golden Core stewards, and disciples, the Xuantian Sect may actually be at a disadvantage this time. It's no wonder that the Xuantian Sect's higher-ups can't be happy about this situation!
"We will negotiate with the Corpse Yin Sect to release Junior Brother Gu Teng and his four other junior brothers, as well as other disciples, on the condition that my Xuan Tian Sect provides ten corpses of Void Refinement cultivators or one hundred and fifty corpses of Nascent Soul cultivators as ransom!"

Tian Cong, who held the high position of sect leader, informed all the senior members of the results of the negotiations with the Corpse Yin Sect.

"Isn't the Corpse Yin Sect offering way too much?"

Wu Hui, the master of Tiangang Peak, was very dissatisfied with the conditions proposed by the Corpse Yin Sect, feeling that the Corpse Yin Sect was taking advantage of his misfortune.

You must know that they are from the Xuantian Sect, a righteous sect, and there are many things they cannot do openly. So why bring so many corpses to them?

Moreover, even if we do it secretly, the conditions are very complicated!
"So what if they offer more conditions? It's because they have hostages, and one of their elders is at the Nascent Soul stage, while many of their elders are stronger than us!"

Peak Master Yue Qing spoke up, saying that if it weren't for this campaign, she really wouldn't have expected the Corpse Yin Sect to be so terrifyingly powerful.

"Sect Master, this expedition was ordered by you. What do you think should be done about this?"

When Huyan Ke, the master of Giant Sword Peak, spoke up, he placed the main responsibility on Tian Cong's shoulders.

Ever since news of his power grab was leaked, Tiancong began to suppress him indirectly.

Even in this matter of dividing up the territory of Jinfo Temple, he was not allowed to participate, but instead was assigned to guard the Xuantian Sect.

Fortunately, Tian Cong didn't send him this time. If he had been unlucky, he might have encountered the Corpse Yin Sect's team and ended up with Gu Teng as well.

As soon as Huyan Ke spoke up, some peak masters and hall masters simultaneously turned their attention to Tian Cong, hoping that he would provide a solution.

“Junior Brother Huyan, when we agreed to go on the expedition, it was a decision we made together. How come now that something has gone wrong, you want me, the sect leader, to bear all the responsibility alone?”

Tian Cong was also furious. Even in this situation, Hu Yanke still wanted to cause trouble; what kind of behavior was this? (End of Chapter)
