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

Cao Meng hugged Xia Yulan tightly around the waist. To be honest, he was quite moved by Xia Yulan's intention to sacrifice her own cultivation.

"Uncle-Master Xia, you should keep your cultivation for yourself. I will surely win tomorrow, so there's no need to worry!"

Cao Meng felt that as for absorbing the cultivation of a powerful demon, he should forget about it!

The other party has cultivated for hundreds of years to reach the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, which is already quite useless. It would be unethical for me to use his cultivation to replenish his strength!
Moreover, it won't be long before I reach that level of cultivation.

"Really?"

Even though Cao Meng made a guarantee, Xia Yulan still had some doubts, because Cao Meng's martial arts level was several realms lower than hers!
"Uncle-Master Xia, if I'm not confident, would I dare to accept the challenge?"

Cao Meng countered with a question to Xia Yulan, knowing that he, Cao Meng, never fought a battle he wasn't sure of winning.

"That's right, you little rascal, you're terrified of dying!"

After Xia Yulan finished speaking, she kissed Cao Meng.

Cao Meng felt that the great demon Xia Yulan was playing with fire, so he picked her up and carried her to the bed.

He had abstained from sex in preparation for the next few days of fighting.

I was a little angry because I was teased by that little vixen Nalan Youruo.

Now that the great fairy has delivered herself to our doorstep, we must celebrate with a celebratory cannon salute in advance.

This section contains 100,000 words of the titled Douluo seal...

The next day...

After a night of fierce fighting, Cao Meng finally defended his position in the family and, for the first time, pinned the great demon beneath him.

Unfortunately, Cao Meng wanted to teach the great demon new knowledge, but the demon was uncooperative and unwilling to learn.

"You little rascal, it's almost Chen Shi (7-9 AM), they're probably getting impatient!"

Xia Yulan saw that it was almost time, so she called out to Cao Meng, who was resting his head on her lap.

"Uncle Xia, there's no rush. Noon is when I'm at my strongest. Let them wait while I sleep a little longer."

Cao Meng didn't want to go so early, knowing that the main characters often appear last.

As for those guys, just keep waiting!
Anyway, it's them who are shameless enough to fight me, not me who is shameless enough to fight them.

Jade Pool and Jade Terrace...

The guests waited for a long time but still didn't see Cao Meng, which made them very annoyed.

What's going on? Are we still going to fight or not?

Seeing that Cao Meng had not yet appeared, Mingfeng turned to Nangong Yan and urged her to hurry up.
"Nangong Yan, is your Hehuan Sect still going to fight? Don't tell me that little devil is afraid of battle."

The Xuantian Sect has made all the necessary preparations. If Cao Meng doesn't come, won't all those preparations have been for nothing?
"Mingfeng, you old dog, what's the rush? We're talking about today's battle, not when. What's the rush?"
Even if it's the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), it still counts as today.

Nangong Yan also had a fiery temper and directly retorted to Mingfeng.

Although Mingfeng could tell that Nangong Yan was being unreasonable, he couldn't find any way to refute her words.

He regretted it. If he could go back to yesterday, he would definitely set the exact time and not give Nangong Yan a chance to make trouble.

“Uncle Mingfeng, the outcome is already decided, so let’s give them time to struggle.”

Wu Hui advised Ming Feng that he wasn't in a hurry, since Senior Sister Yu had already discussed the outcome with him.

He guessed that someone must be as anxious as an ant on a hot plate right now, almost going crazy!

"In that case, we'll wait and see."

Mingfeng felt that, just as Wu Hui had said, there would only be one outcome.

That is, Wu Hui killed Cao Meng, that little devil, to eliminate this major threat to the sect and restore the reputation of Xuantian Sect.

"Cao Meng, don't you dare cause trouble!"

Tiancong Daoist was in a hurry. He poisoned Wu Hui in order to use Cao Meng to get rid of Wu Hui.

If Cao Meng doesn't come, what will happen when Wu Hui's poison takes effect?
"Nangong Yan, Cao Meng from your Hehuan Sect is a bit disloyal!"

"He tricked our disciples, and now he's all alone in a brothel listening to music, leaving so many of us here waiting for him!"

One by one, the Void Refinement stage elders of various sects in the demonic faction began to launch attacks.

This morning, their disciples returned from Xuantian Pavilion and began complaining about being tricked by Cao Meng.

Xuantian Pavilion is indeed fun, but the prices are too high.

Even the lowest-ranking disciples were swindled out of tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, while some were swindled out of hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

What infuriated the direct disciples the most was that they and Cao Meng belonged to the same demonic faction, yet Cao Meng's Xuantian Pavilion didn't offer them any discounts whatsoever and even tried to trick them into becoming members.

Faced with the sarcastic remarks from the various Void Refinement stage elders of the demonic faction, Nangong Yan was very unhappy and turned to shout at Duanmu Fei:
"You traitor, contact that bastard right now and ask him what's going on!"

Consort Duanmu took out the Inquiry Machine to contact Cao Meng, but after failing to reach him, she contacted Xia Yulan and learned the situation.

That despicable traitor! Last night he cheated on me with Xia Yulan again, and what's worse, he made his master wait for him here! How utterly despicable!

“That traitor is still sleeping; he won’t be here until noon.”

Upon learning of the situation, Consort Duanmu gritted her teeth and told Nangong Yan what had happened.

"This is the good student you've taught!"

Now that Cao Meng is gone, Nangong Yan can only vent her anger on Consort Duanmu, since anger is harmful to her health and she has to vent her anger.

……

At noon, Cao Meng, carrying the fox, arrived at the Jade Pool Terrace with Xia Yulan.

Seeing that the guests were all furious, Cao Meng quickly apologized:
"Fellow Daoists, I got carried away with my cultivation and lost track of time. I've kept you waiting!"

Cao Meng was speechless. He had only made them wait a little longer, so was it really necessary for them all to be so angry?

"In my opinion, you've lost track of time, indulging in music and pleasure in the brothel!"

Zi Dongji, the old man, directly exposed Cao Meng. He had already learned about Cao Meng's affair of listening to music in the brothel last night from some of his disciples.

He already disliked Cao Meng because his two daughters had been bullied by him.

Now that Cao Meng had made him wait so long because of listening to music at the brothel, he was even more annoyed.

Cao Meng, a mere courtesan, also wants to marry my youngest daughter, Zi Rou'er; I absolutely disagree with this.

"Little devil, I thought you were too scared to come."

After giving a sarcastic remark, Mingfeng waved his hand, signaling Wu Hui to quickly enter the training ground and kill Cao Meng.

As soon as Wu Hui entered the training ground, Cao Meng called out to him:
"No rush. We need to agree on some things to ensure fairness and prevent anyone from reneging on their promises!"

Although Cao Meng was confident in his abilities, there were some things that needed to be discussed in advance to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

"Kid, are you looking for trouble?"

Mingfeng, sitting on the high platform, felt that Cao Menghao was just stirring up trouble and stalling for time.

"Mingfeng, you old dog, the main reason is that I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the consequences later!"

Cao Meng could certainly afford to play the game, but he felt that Xuantian Sect couldn't, so they had to resort to underhanded tactics.

"Little devil, today I, the peak master, will make you admit defeat wholeheartedly."

Seeing that Cao Meng was up to something, Wu Hui readily cooperated.

He had already sensed a problem with his spiritual power; he knew the poison was starting to take effect.

Moreover, he probably already guessed what type of poison he had been poisoned with. If he wasn't mistaken, this poison wouldn't kill a person instantly, but it would cause abnormalities in their spiritual power, resulting in the loss of spiritual power for a certain period of time!

This poison will take full effect in an instant if spiritual power is excessively stimulated.

Without activating spiritual power, the poison is unlikely to take effect.

Therefore, he waited a while and then put on a grand show for everyone.

Cao Meng glanced at Wu Hui and noticed that the other's protective robe was at least level five, so he reprimanded him:
"You old simp, take off your robes first!"

"???"

When Cao Meng made this request, everyone was shocked. What kind of ridiculous request was this?!
"I'm rather poor, I don't have any high-level magic robes to wear, so this fight isn't fair!"

Cao Meng's protective robe was destroyed yesterday when he fought with that old dog Yuan Tai.

To avoid damaging his new robes in today's battle, he wore ordinary clothes.

Cao Meng wasn't wearing his robes, and Wu Hui, that old sycophant, wasn't allowed to either, otherwise he'd be at a great disadvantage if a fight broke out later.

Who knows, he might have been able to kill Wu Hui, that old sycophant, in one move, but because of the robe, it might take him two moves to kill him.

More importantly, Wu Hui was wearing a magic robe when he fought him, and he damaged the robe, so he couldn't sell it!
"You little devil, are you trying to cause trouble?"

Mingfeng felt that Cao Meng was just stirring up trouble. The other party kept complaining about being poor, but he himself was swindled out of six million mid-grade spirit stones yesterday!
Cao Meng killed forty-two half-step Nascent Soul cultivators, one of whom was at the first level of Nascent Soul, and another whose cultivation was close to the third level of Nascent Soul. He also seized so many storage rings, which was a considerable fortune.

Cao Meng ignored Mingfeng, that old dog, and instead took out a handful of talismans, saying to the old sycophant Wu Hui:

"You old sycophant, if you don't take off your robes, I'll fight you with talismans in a minute!"

Cao Meng felt that even a half-step Void Refinement stage cultivator would be forced to kneel before this talisman rain technique, let alone Wu Hui, that old sycophant, who was only at the fourth level of the Divine Transformation stage.

Wu Hui put away his protective robes and then changed into ordinary clothes.

"You old sycophant, what kind of magical artifact are you using?!"

Cao Meng knew that his greatest strength was his physical body, which was stronger than most fifth-tier spiritual artifacts.

But what if Wu Hui, that old sycophant, can't take it and pulls out a sixth-tier spiritual weapon?
As soon as Wu Hui took out the fifth-grade supreme spirit sword that Ming Feng had given him yesterday, Cao Meng immediately spoke up:

"My Liuhong Sword is only a mid-grade fifth-rank weapon, while your spirit sword is a top-grade fifth-rank spiritual weapon. You are not allowed to use it!"

To be honest, Cao Meng wasn't sure if his physical body could withstand a fifth-grade top-tier spiritual weapon.

Moreover, even if the physical body can withstand it, if the magical artifact is damaged during the fight, its price will inevitably drop significantly.

Besides, junk goods are hard to sell!
Mingfeng, angered by Cao Meng's unreasonable demands, slammed his fist on the table.

"Little devil, you've got a good plan. Your physical body can't be broken by ordinary fifth-tier spiritual weapons. If you don't let Wu Hui use high-tier spiritual weapons, how are you going to fight?"

Mingfeng felt that Cao Meng was afraid of losing, which was why he made so many unreasonable demands.

"Since you can't afford to play this game, don't blame me for using a high-level magical artifact later."

"I've got my sixth-grade low-level spiritual weapon, the Nine-Star Crossbow, right here. Let's see how many shots you can take!"

Cao Meng took out the Nine-Star Crossbow and sat on it. He knew that now it was the Xuantian Sect begging to fight him, not the other way around. The other side had no right to make demands of him.

Seeing that Cao Meng was being unreasonable, Wu Hui felt that the time was right.

"Boy, you're going too far!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Wu Hui pretended to be furious. With a roar, his spiritual power surged and the poison in his body was fully activated.

"puff!"

Wu Hui suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which transformed into a blood sword that flew out before he collapsed to the ground.

"Protruding!"

After uttering the phrase "national essence," Cao Meng then pointed at Wu Hui and everyone from the Xuan Tian Sect and cursed:

"You Xuantian Sect can't take a beating? I haven't even started fighting yet and you're already trying to scam me!"

Cao Meng was speechless. Even if you're going to stage an accident, you can't do it like this. It's completely lacking in skill!

???

The guests present were puzzled when they saw this scene. What was going on? Why was Wu Hui vomiting blood?

Could it be that he was so angry with Cao Meng that he vomited blood? That's so narrow-minded!
???

Why did Wu Hui vomit blood?
Tian Cong was a little confused when he saw this scene. His poison would only cause people to lose their spiritual power, not vomit blood!
Wu Hui: I coughed up blood on purpose! Otherwise, how could others have noticed my abnormality immediately!
After being confused, Tiancong was mostly annoyed.

He had planned everything perfectly. He knew that as long as Wu Hui and Cao Meng started fighting, Wu Hui would lose all his spiritual power due to poisoning at the crucial moment, and thus be killed by Cao Meng.

The poison he administered to Wu Hui would be difficult for even a Venerable Master Mingfeng to detect once Wu Hui died.

Moreover, even if Mingfeng discovers that Wu Hui is poisoned, he will assume that Wu Hui was tricked by Cao Meng during their match.

But now this has actually happened, it's really troublesome!
At least I had a backup plan, so I should be able to turn the situation around!

"You little devil, what have you done?"

After Mingfeng arrived at the training ground, he angrily rebuked Cao Meng and wanted to take action, but Cao Meng had already been protected by Nangong Yan.

Left with no other option, Mingfeng could only investigate Wu Hui's situation:

"Poisoned! All spiritual power has been lost!"

Mingfeng examined Wu Hui's body and found that Wu Hui's cultivation level had not dropped, but he had lost all his spiritual power.

He could tell at a glance that Wu Hui was poisoned, a kind of poison that temporarily deprived him of his spiritual power.

"You little devil, you're truly despicable! You actually poisoned Wu Hui! Hand over the antidote!"

Mingfeng's intuition told him that Cao Meng was the one who poisoned him.

Because Wu Hui was poisoned, the biggest beneficiary on the surface is Cao Meng, his opponent in today's life-or-death battle.

Moreover, Mingfeng felt that Cao Meng's previous actions of causing trouble were too suspicious and were simply a way to stall for time.

"Mingfeng, you old dog, stop barking here. Wu Hui's poisoning has nothing to do with me!"

After Cao Meng scolded Mingfeng the old dog, he noticed that many guests were giving him strange looks, clearly indicating that they also suspected him of poisoning.

"Why are you looking at me? I swear on my Dao heart that it has nothing to do with me!"

To prove his innocence, Cao Meng quickly swore an oath, then shouted insults:

"And even if I were to poison someone, I would control the timing."

Instead of letting this old sycophant's poison take effect before we even fight, you guys are underestimating my intelligence!

Cao Meng's oath and these words led many to believe that he had nothing to do with the matter.

Although Cao Meng has been cleared of suspicion, the guests have begun to suspect the other members of the Hehuan Sect.

"This has nothing to do with our Hehuan Sect. The Xuantian Sect didn't eat any of the spiritual wine, fruits, or dishes we provided. Even if we wanted to poison them, we wouldn't have had the chance!"

Nangong Yan quickly spoke up to defend the reputation of the Hehuan Sect.

If they really did poison it, it would be fine if they admitted it, but the key point is that they didn't poison it!

When Nangong Yan spoke, the guests also felt that what she said made sense.

You should know that none of the righteous sects tasted the spiritual fruits, wines, and dishes prepared by the Joyful Union Sect, for fear that they might be poisonous.

The Xuantian Sect didn't touch anything prepared by the Hehuan Sect, so the suspicion of them poisoning them is indeed low. (End of Chapter)
