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

Shen Aoxue wasn't angry about Cao Meng and Duanmu Fei's affair; on the contrary, she felt a strange sense of joy!

Because she wasn't the only wicked woman who seduced married men; there was also Consort Duanmu!
Moreover, even if my affair with Cao Meng is exposed in the future, and I lose face, I will have Consort Duanmu to make up for it!
After all, Consort Duanmu and Cao Meng were master and apprentice. Once the matter was exposed, Consort Duanmu would be completely disgraced!

"Cao Meng, aren't you afraid that this rebellious act of betraying your master will be exposed and ruin your reputation?"

Shen Aoxue couldn't understand how Cao Meng could be so audacious as to even lay a hand on his own master!

No wonder Consort Duanmu kept calling Cao Meng her traitor; he truly was a traitor through and through.

He's the most extreme kind of traitor, the kind who defies his master!

Cao Meng felt wronged; it was clearly him who had been violated by the great demon and the female devil.

But can such a thing be talked about?

This is too embarrassing to talk about.

"Uncle Shen, what are you saying? You're not afraid of ruining your reputation by associating with a junior like me, so why should I be afraid!"

Cao Meng is truly unafraid of ruining his reputation. As long as I have thick skin, no one can do anything to me!
As long as you are strong enough, who can say what you're capable of?
I'll just chop whoever I want!
As Cao Meng spoke, his evil thoughts resurfaced, and he lunged at Shen Aoxue again, pointing out new knowledge to her.
Titled Douluo, sealing 100,000 words...

Suqin Peak...

Cao Meng and Shen Aoxue had just returned to Suqin Peak after learning the new knowledge when they were summoned to the main hall by the female demon.

"Master, what do you want to see me about?"

Cao Meng had eaten meat not long ago, and his mouth still had a slightly greasy taste. Now that the female demon had summoned him, he was naturally a little scared!
Consort Duanmu chatted with Cao Meng about the monthly salary in Chunfeng City, and thus learned of Cao Meng's scheme.

"You unfilial disciple, your master is going into seclusion to break through to the Void Refinement stage, so your master needs your help in my cultivation!"

As soon as Duanmu Fei finished speaking, she immediately grabbed Cao Meng to prevent this traitor from escaping.

run?
it's out of the question!

Since Cao Meng's strength has increased, he has long wanted to fight the female demon. Today is the perfect day to settle the score!
Titled Douluo, sealing 100,000 words...

After the fierce battle, Cao Meng felt that his kidneys were ruined.

The female demon, on the other hand, was refreshed and completely satisfied.

This made Cao Meng believe the saying: "There are no fields that are over-cultivated, only oxen that are exhausted!"
“You unfilial disciple, you should restrain yourself during my seclusion.”

If you cause trouble that you can't handle, just go find that old woman, Nangong Yan!

The female demon absorbed so much of Cao Meng's essence, intending to use it to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

There's no way around it, Consort Duanmu is under too much pressure right now.

Cao Meng, as her disciple, has already reached the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, while her master is only at the half-step Void Refinement stage. How could she not feel a lot of pressure?

Therefore, she was determined this time and would not leave seclusion until she reached the Void Refinement stage.

As for Suqin Peak, it will be left to Nangong Yan to look after.

Is it appropriate for Nangong Yan, an elder, to do nothing all day long?

"Master, rest assured, as long as the Void Refinement stage ancestor doesn't make a move, I fear no one among the Nascent Soul stage cultivators!"

Cao Meng probably had a good idea of ​​his own abilities.

Since he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, his physical body has become even stronger, now comparable to a sixth-tier spiritual weapon.

A Nascent Soul cultivator cannot break through his defenses without a sixth-order spiritual weapon!

"You rebellious disciple, you should know better than to overdo it!"

Consort Duanmu felt that Cao Meng was sometimes too lawless, so she wanted to remind this rebellious disciple!

"Fuck off!"

After giving her instructions, Consort Duanmu signaled Cao Meng to get lost!

……

In the following period, under Xia Yulan's manipulation, the news that Cao Meng was giving Ying Ling'er and the others a high monthly salary for guarding the city spread throughout the Hehuan Sect!
Many disciples were immediately unsettled upon seeing such a high monthly salary and humane treatment.

Especially those city-guarding disciples under the other four city lords, they were all feeling resentful!

Cao Meng, the newly appointed fifth city lord, not only has a high monthly salary, but also enjoys such good other benefits.

You four have been heartless city lords for a hundred years, plundering so much wealth, yet you haven't improved our treatment at all!
It's true that only men can truly care for women; women only know how to exploit other women!
The disciples guarding the three major cities of Flower, Snow, and Moon are currently only complaining.

Meanwhile, Nie Xuan's subordinates were filled with regret and were very dissatisfied with her.

If Nie Xuan hadn't wanted to separate from Cao Meng and transfer people away, they might have been able to enjoy that dreamlike treatment too!

Cao Meng's move really ruined Nie Xuan's life.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't defeat Cao Meng, Nie Xuan would have wanted to draw her sword and kill that traitor Cao, that villain who disrupted the morale of our army!
Nie Xuan can only reassure her subordinates right now. Cao Meng hasn't received his monthly salary yet, so she can keep things stable for now!
……

In the council hall of the Xuantian Sect, they are currently welcoming distinguished guests. Where do they come from?
From Star Pavilion and Tianyuan Valley!
Who is coming?
The team was led by Hong Zhao, a Void Refinement stage elder from Xingchen Pavilion, and Yi Kong, a Void Refinement stage elder from Tianyuan Valley!

Rather than calling them distinguished guests, it would be more accurate to say they came to demand an explanation and seek favors.

Why did Star Pavilion and Tianyuan Valley send Hongzhao and Yikong to Xuantian Sect?

Because they had observed Zhong Bilian's memories at that time, it was the most appropriate time for the two of them to come to the Xuantian Sect and negotiate with the people of the Xuantian Sect!

The Void Refinement stage elders from Star Pavilion and Tianyuan Valley personally came to Xuantian Sect to demand an explanation, so Xuantian Sect naturally had to have a Void Refinement stage elder receive them.

Sending several Nascent Soul stage cultivators to receive them would be disrespectful to the other sect and would only make matters between sects more complicated.

As for the person in charge of receiving them, Master Zhenkong, as Tiancong's master, must be among them!

Secondly, there's Mingfeng, since he was involved in the incident and knows the details!
"My two old friends, I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly!"

Master Zhenkong knew that the fault lay with the Xuantian Sect and with his foolish disciple Tiancong!

Therefore, even though Master Zhenkong knew that Yi Kong and Hong Zhao were there to cause trouble, he still kept a very low profile.

Master Zhenkong tried to establish a connection with the person in question, hoping to resolve the matter with minimal cost.

Hong Zhao, the Void Refinement stage ancestor of Star Pavilion, and Yi Kong, the Void Refinement stage ancestor of Tianyuan Valley, are not stupid.

As ancient monsters who had lived for thousands of years, how could they not know what Master Zhenkong was thinking?

"Zhen Kong, do we dare to call you our old friend?"

"Who knows, one day I might be betrayed by your Xuantian Sect and die a horrible death!"

Yi Kong's sarcastic remarks were a reminder to Zhen Kong Shangren and Ming Feng.

Don't think that by trying to establish a relationship, you can deny that the Xuantian Sect disciples killed the Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion disciples!

Yi Kong's sarcastic tone infuriated Venerable Kong and Ming Feng.

Seeing this, Hongzhao of the Star Pavilion sneered:

"Zhen Kong, Ming Feng, let us warn you first: if anything happens to us at the Xuan Tian Sect, the Star Pavilion and Tian Yuan Valley will mobilize their forces to launch a massive attack on the Xuan Tian Sect, erasing it from the Eastern Dao Continent!"

Since Hongzhao and Yikong dared to come to the Xuantian Sect, they were naturally not afraid of the Xuantian Sect resorting to force.

The Xuantian Sect already has the powerful Hehuan Sect as its enemy. If something happens to them, and the sects behind them send troops to attack the Xuantian Sect, the only outcome for the Xuantian Sect will be to be slaughtered and its sect destroyed!
Therefore, Hongzhao and Yikongliang from the Xuantian Sect did not dare to attack them unless they were really tired of living!

"Fellow Daoists, these are all things done by that beast Zhong Bilian. Please don't let the harmony between sects be damaged because of a beast!"

Although Master Zhenkong was smiling obsequiously and saying nice things, he was inwardly cursing Yi Kong and Hong Zhao's entire family.

It's just a few Golden Core stage ants that died, what's the big deal?
Is it necessary to utter such harsh words as "exterminating sects and destroying religions"?

"Did it damage the harmony?"

Yi Kong sneered and said sarcastically:
"They've already killed our disciples, are you still worried about damaging our harmony?"

Yi Kong felt that Master Zhen Kong had been hypocritical for many years. Harmony was only a concept that existed when sects were roughly equal in strength.

If Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion weren't top-tier righteous sects, their strength wouldn't be comparable to Xuantian Sect.

That old dog, Master Zhenkong, wouldn't talk about harmony here, much less greet the two of them.

If Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion weren't top-tier powers, they would have no choice but to suffer in silence and wouldn't dare to come to Xuantian Sect to demand an explanation.

"Fellow Daoists, we are all on the righteous path, why make a big fuss and give those evil and heretical sects something to laugh at!"

When Master Zhenkong saw that Yi Kong and Hongzhao were not giving him face, he had no choice but to bring up the righteous cause of the alliance.

Both Star Pavilion and Tianyuan Valley are top sects in the righteous faction. Master Zhenkong does not trust Yi Kong and Hong Zhao, and does not consider the friendship and righteousness of the alliance!

However, Master Zhenkong forgot one thing: the righteous alliance was already dead in name only.

The same applies to the Demonic Cult Alliance!
Both the righteous and the demonic factions exist to band together and fight against each other.

But now, the situation has been disrupted by the Corpse Yin Sect.

With just one corpse puppet under the command of Chi Liyu of the Corpse Yin Sect, a top-tier sect could be destroyed.

Let alone the righteous faction, even if all the top sects of both the righteous and demonic paths were combined, they probably wouldn't be a match for the Corpse Yin Sect.

Under these circumstances, the alliance between the righteous and demonic factions has long lost its value!

Perhaps even they themselves didn't realize that the alliance between the righteous and the demonic factions had already collapsed.

“Zhen Kong, now that you know things have gotten out of hand, why weren’t you afraid of things getting out of hand when that traitor killed our disciples?”
When Tian Cong, the sect leader, was protecting his disciples, why wasn't he afraid of things escalating?

Yi Kong questioned Master Zhen Kong in a stern voice, intending to break down the other party's momentum so that he could then ask for more benefits from him.

Yi Kong's words were sharp, like blades, leaving Master Zhen Kong somewhat unable to cope.

There was nothing he could do; Xuan Tian Sect was in the wrong, so he couldn't refute them!

What Zhen Kong Shangren didn't expect was that Yi Kong and Hong Zhao didn't give him any face at all, and didn't care about the greater good of the alliance.

What surprised Master Zhenkong the most was that Mingfeng, who was sitting next to him, didn't say a word from beginning to end.

They didn't help me share the burden at all, leaving me to deal with Yi Kong and Hong Zhao alone!
Thinking of this, Master Zhenkong glared at Mingfeng, signaling him to quickly come up with a solution.

Mingfeng was also in a tough spot. In fact, when he left Yaochi Qiongtan, he had already thought of this scene and had a way to break the deadlock.

Moreover, this method of breaking the deadlock is flawless.

Mingfeng's solution was simple: hand over Tiancong, who was protecting Zhong Bilian, to Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion.

As long as Tian Cong is handed over, not only will the reputation of Xuan Tian Sect be preserved, but Tian Yuan Valley and Xing Chen Pavilion will also have no excuse to cause trouble!

Is it possible for Master Zhenkong to hand over Tiancong to Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion?

This is obviously impossible!

Master Zhenkong wanted to give up on Tiancong, but he had already done so during the public trial. Why did he have to wait until now?

But now that he has been singled out by Master Zhenkong, it wouldn't be good for him not to speak up.

Left with no other choice, Mingfeng prepared to say a few pointless words to go through the motions.

But Hongzhao didn't give him a chance to waste words and directly retorted:

"Back then at the Hehuan Sect banquet, we gave your Xuantian Sect face and didn't cause you any trouble in front of those evil and heretical sects!"

"Now that you've reached a conclusion on your own, it's time for you to give us both an explanation!"

Hongzhao's words directly blocked Mingfeng's unspoken words, thwarting Zhenkong Shangren's attempt to downplay the matter.

Left with no other option, Master Zhenkong could only inquire:
"What explanation do you two fellow Daoists require?"

Master Zhenkong hoped that Yi Kong and Hong Zhao would ask for less and not make exorbitant demands.

After all, this incident was caused by his faction.

If Yi Kong and Hong Zhao were to seek compensation, it would be impossible for the entire sect to foot the bill; therefore, their own lineage would have to pay out of their own pockets.

"One seventh-tier spiritual artifact per sect!"

Yi Kong and Hong Zhao spoke in unison, clearly indicating that this request was agreed upon by Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion behind them.

Upon hearing this request, Master Zhenkong's expression immediately changed drastically, and he coldly reminded him:
"Fellow Daoists, what died in your sect were merely a few Golden Core stage ants, not a few Void Refinement stage experts!"

Master Zhenkong originally thought that some sixth-tier treasures would be enough to appease the other party, but he did not expect that the other party would actually want a seventh-tier spiritual weapon!

Even though Xuan Tian Sect is a top-tier sect with hundreds of thousands of years of history, there aren't many seventh-tier spiritual artifacts.

Moreover, most of the seventh-tier spiritual artifacts in the Xuantian Sect are ancient relics.

And now, the current ancestor of the Xuantian Sect who has reached the Integration Stage is not good at weapon crafting. It can be said that every seventh-grade spiritual weapon given away is one less available!

Master Zhenkong thought that asking for an exorbitant amount was already frightening enough.

Only today did he realize that Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion's tone was even more frightening!
To understand the value of a seventh-tier spiritual weapon, it would be a loss to even exchange it for the life of a Void Refinement stage expert, let alone several Golden Core stage experts!

Master Zhenkong wanted to know why Star Pavilion and Tianyuan Valley were so arrogant, actually wanting a seventh-tier spiritual weapon!

"Zhen Kong, let me tell you, those disciples who died in my Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion were all people of exceptional talent. Even if they weren't at the Dao Integration stage, they could at least have reached the Dao Refinement stage!"

Yi Kong, without batting an eye, boasted about the disciples who had been killed by Zhong Bilian.

Since the person is already dead, there's no way to confront them.

You can say what your qualifications are, and that's what your qualifications are.

If saying that the Integration Stage was too exaggerated, he would have said that the disciple had the aptitude to be in the Integration Stage!

"Zhen Kong, you are supposed to be a powerful figure, yet you dare to utter the words 'Golden Core cultivators are but ants.' We cultivators should look down upon all living beings as equals!"

Hong Zhao righteously rebuked Zhen Kong, then immediately began to cooperate with Yi Kong:
"Although those few are all at the Golden Core stage, they are my and Fellow Daoist Yi Kong's disciples and grand-disciples, the future of Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion!"

This knife was delivered to their doorstep, and Tianyuan Valley and Xingchen Pavilion naturally had to pick it up and use it to cut Xuantian Sect; otherwise, they would be doing the knife a disservice! (End of Chapter)
