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

Suqin Peak was once a scenic spot in the Hehuan Sect.

But in just one or two days, Suqin Peak suffered an unprecedented disaster.
From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are patches of baldness here and there.

Or perhaps there's a big crater here and a big crater there.

Suqin Peak, specifically the summit, is currently in good condition.

As for the three major perpetrators, Hong Qi and Jin Ning'er have already been captured and suppressed by Nangong Yan.

Now, the culprit Cao Meng has also been brought back by Nangong Yan!

After Nangong Yan brought Cao Meng back to Suqin Peak, she threw him to the ground and questioned him:
"You damned thing, Suqin Peak has been ruined like this by your two beast pets, what do you suggest we do about it?"

In Nangong Yan's memory, this was the most severe damage to Suqin Peak in the past thousand years.

Cao Meng is lax in managing his subordinates, and today, as his grandmaster, she must teach this scoundrel a lesson!
"I'm not his pet!"

Jin Ning'er, who was hanging from the tree, struggled incessantly and was very resentful of being captured by Nangong Yan.

If she had used too much spiritual power when she fought Hong Qi, how could she have been captured by Nangong Yan?
If you're so capable, fight her fair and square, don't resort to sneak attacks!
"Cao Meng, save me!"

In contrast to Jin Ning'er's tough stance, the imprisoned Hong Qi immediately sought help from Cao Meng.

Hongqi felt that this wasn't because she was cowardly, but rather because a wise person knows when to yield!

Cao Meng frowned when he saw that Hong Qi's once pink fur had been burned black in several places.

Jin Ning'er went too far and burned her own fox fur coat.

"Grandmaster, please release them first!"

Cao Meng started to dodge the question. As for compensation, he didn't even have enough spirit stones himself, so how could he possibly give them to the other party?

"You damned bastard, you won't give me a single penny!"

Nangong Yan realized that Cao Meng was a miserly old man, no, a jade chicken.

After all, a miserly person will eventually shed some rust residue after being exposed to rain for a long time.

Cao Meng is like a jade chicken; not only does it not crumble when it gets wet in the rain, but if you touch it, it will also absorb some of your oil!

"Grandmaster, according to Master's words, you have already stepped down as the Peak Master of Suqin Peak and gone to the forbidden area to cultivate."

"Suqin Peak has little to do with you anymore. Even if I were to offer compensation, it would be to the current peak master, who is also your master."

Cao Meng spoke with the most timid tone, yet with the most defiant words.

"You bastard, if other Void Refinement stage cultivators beat you up, that would be bullying the weak!"

"And when I beat you, it's to discipline the family!"

Nangong Yan took out an iron whip, which she had been crafting for hundreds of years.

It was originally made to beat up Consort Duanmu, but I never had the chance to use it.

Today, she wouldn't mind using Cao Meng to test this iron whip and let him know that she, his grandmaster, was not someone to be trifled with.

"Grandmaster, are you going to use this whip to hit me?"

Cao Meng was startled when he saw the iron whip in Nangong Yan's hand.

This iron whip was not only engraved with talismans, but also had barbs.

Good heavens! What would happen if this iron whip hit an ordinary person?

"You damned brat, I'm not hitting you, I'm teaching you a lesson."

Seeing that Cao Meng was afraid, Nangong Yan became smug. Wasn't the little thing very arrogant before? Didn't he take his grandmaster seriously?
Sure enough, no matter how high one's cultivation level is, one is still afraid of sticks and clubs, let alone iron whips with barbs!

"You bastard, I'll give you two choices:"

First, you must offer something to appease my master's anger!

Secondly, if you can withstand three lashes from me, I will forgive your failure to properly manage your subordinates!

Nangong Yan hoped that Cao Meng would be sensible and cooperate obediently.

You should know that even Duanmu Fei's rebellious disciple was very obedient when he saw this iron whip.

"Grandmaster, I choose option two!"

Cao Meng carefully examined the iron whip in Nangong Yan's hand and found that it was only a fifth-grade top-quality spiritual weapon, so he decisively chose option two.

Although this iron whip looks frightening, it is ultimately only a fifth-order spiritual weapon. A mere fifth-order spiritual weapon cannot break through his defenses, so what is there to be afraid of!
"You are wise!"

Nangong Yan mistakenly believed that Cao Meng had submitted to her and made the right choice, but she soon realized that she had misheard:

"wrong!"

"You bastard, do you really think you can withstand three lashes from me? I could kill you with three lashes!"

Nangong Yan warned Cao Meng again, hoping he would make the right choice and not force her to beat someone up!

"Grandmaster, it's just that your appetite is too big, I can't satisfy it!"

Nangong Yan is at the Refinement stage, and she can't be easily appeased with just a few spirit stones. Therefore, Cao Meng decided to try Nangong Yan's iron whip.

"You bastard, since you're asking for a beating, I'll teach you a lesson today!"

Nangong Yan realized that Cao Meng was just asking for trouble, thinking that she wouldn't beat him up, and thus repeatedly challenged her, the grandmaster's, authority.

Today, Nangong Yan really wasn't going to tolerate this scoundrel; she was going to teach him a lesson.

"Stick your butt out!"

Nangong Yan ordered Cao Meng to stick his butt out. If she didn't beat his butt into pieces today, she would be a disgrace to her position as a grandmaster!

"Uh~"

Cao Meng was immediately embarrassed and speechless:

"Grandmaster, I'm not a child anymore!"

Cao Meng was speechless. Spanking is something used to discipline children. He himself is only a few months away from his 20th birthday. Is spanking appropriate?

"Humph!"

Hong Qi, who was watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, snorted in annoyance.

The noble Princess Hongqi is over a hundred years old. Cao thief, what right do you have to spank this princess? Have you ever shown this princess any respect?
Cao Cao, today it's finally your turn to get a spanking! This princess will keep her eyes wide open and watch closely!
Indeed, the cycle of karma is real, and cause and effect are clear. It's not that retribution won't come, but rather that the time hasn't arrived yet!
"You bastard, I'm over a thousand years old, you're just a little kid in my eyes!"

Nangong Yan believed that she had lived for over a thousand years, and Cao Meng's age was not even a fraction of hers.

Not to mention Cao Meng, who was a little kid in his eyes, even Duanmu Fei, who was hundreds of years old, was a little kid in his eyes.

"You bastard, I've already been very lenient by not taking your pants off. Now, stick your ass out!"

Nangong Yan urged him on, she was already impatient to give Cao Meng a good spanking.

Of course, she would also control her strength to avoid causing Cao Meng serious injury.

"Pfft!"

Jin Ning'er and Hong Qi, who were watching the scene, couldn't help but laugh.

Do you two find this funny?

Cao Meng glared at the two heartless bastards. Why did Nangong Yan beat him up? Wasn't it because these two were fighting on Suqin Peak and damaging the environment?

"Cao Meng, I wasn't laughing, it was these three-legged crows who were laughing!"

Hongqi was afraid that Cao Meng would settle scores with her later, so she immediately chose to back down.

"You spineless vixen, what are you afraid of him for!"

Jin Ning'er was proud and looked down on Hong Qi.

Although the other party is a mixed-blood nine-tailed celestial fox, it is still a descendant of the nine-tailed celestial fox. How can it submit to a human?

This fox spirit is a disgrace! She has disgraced the entire demon race!

"Humph!"

Faced with Jin Ning'er's mockery, Hong Qi snorted in annoyance.

Was the great Princess Hongqi a spineless coward?

Obviously not, I'm the wise one to know when to yield! Let this three-legged crow keep talking nonsense, it'll be truly laughable when it gets dealt with by Cao Cao.

Cao Meng glanced at Jin Ning'er. This golden-haired loli was too proud and arrogant. She was just too much!
I'll have to give them a good talking-to later.

Cao Meng disliked being passive; he preferred to be proactive.

Taking advantage of Nangong Yan's inattention, he struck first and grabbed the iron whip in her hand.

"Keng~"

As Cao Meng exerted his strength, the iron whip in Nangong Yan's hand could not withstand the weight. With a crisp cracking sound, the iron whip shattered and broke in two.

"Grandmaster, this iron whip is already broken, so let's just leave it at that!"

After crushing the iron whip, Cao Meng clapped his hands and shook off the iron filings.

"My ancient black iron whip!"

"You damned bastard, you owe me my Xuan Iron Whip! This is a fifth-grade supreme spiritual weapon that's practically a sixth-grade spiritual weapon!"

Nangong Yan was on the verge of tears. She hadn't even used this top-grade fifth-tier spiritual artifact yet, how could it have broken!

"Grandmaster, it's really not my fault. Although I crushed this ten-thousand-year-old black iron whip, if you had used it to hit me, it would have been shattered by my protective aura!"

"And how was I supposed to know that your ten-thousand-year-old black iron whip would be so vulnerable?"

Cao Meng shrugged, expressing his helplessness; as for compensation, that was impossible!
Seeing that Cao Meng was still swaggering around, Nangong Yan slammed him to the ground, gave him a few roasted chestnuts, and shouted:
"You bastard, just say the word and you'll pay up or not."

If you don't compensate me, I'll use you as a humanoid weapon to fight others in the future!

Nangong Yan was furious. She had only meant to scare the other party, and she was sure she would hold back.

Without saying a word, that bastard crushed his fifth-grade supreme spiritual weapon.

This is no longer a protest; this is a blatant demonstration against me, a blatant challenge to the authority of my grandmaster!

He even said that the bastard's brain was really hard, and that his hand hurt a little when he gave him roasted chestnuts.

Next time I beat up that bastard, I'll need a hammer.

"Hahaha!"

Hongqi and Jin Ning'er couldn't hold back any longer when they saw Cao Meng being pinned to the ground by Nangong Yan, and they burst into laughter.

"Release Cao Meng, or I'll kill you!"

With a furious shout, Shishi appeared out of thin air, wielding the Azure Rain Divine Sword, pointing it at Nangong Yan.

After Shishi helped Cao Meng refine Tang Yao into a Snow Maiden at Xuantian Pavilion, she wanted to ask Cao Meng for credit and reward.

Through Min Xue, she learned about Cao Meng's trial, so her first priority was to return to Huanzong.

She found Cao Meng by following his scent.

As soon as she returned to Suqin Peak, she saw Cao Meng being bullied by Nangong Yan on the ground.

As for the relationship between Nangong Yan and Cao Meng, Shishi didn't care. As long as she was there, no one was allowed to bully Cao Meng.

Shishi was being pointed at by the Azure Rain Divine Sword, and Nangong Yan felt her scalp tingle.

Since the Jade Terrace and Jade Pool incident, she had researched some information about the Sword Inquiry Sect and also probed for information from the Demon Sword Sect.

This confirmed Qingyu Divine Sword's status as the most powerful figure in the Sword Inquiry Sect, as well as its record of defeating cultivators at the Integration Stage several times.

As a mere Void Refinement stage cultivator, it would be strange if she weren't afraid when a divine sword that had slain a cultivator at the Integration stage was pointed at her.

"You damned brat, tell your little maid to calm down and put away the Azure Rain Divine Sword, lest she accidentally hurt me."

Nangong Yan didn't want to be injured by the Azure Rain Divine Sword, so she quickly warned Cao Meng.

"Grandmaster, I can't call for Shishi in this state, please let me go!"

Cao Meng felt fortunate that Shishi arrived in time, otherwise he would have really been taken advantage of by Nangong Yan.

This woman is supposed to be a grandmaster, yet she can't handle any of this.

"Humph!"

Nangong Yan snorted coldly, and had no choice but to let go and release Cao Meng.

After Cao Meng regained his freedom, he didn't rush to have Shi Shi put away the Azure Rain Divine Sword. Instead, he smiled at Nangong Yan and said:
"Grandmaster, you are a magnanimous person, why don't you just let some things go?"

Cao Meng took the concept of "borrowing the tiger's power" to its extreme.

"it is good!"

What could Nangong Yan say when the Azure Rain Divine Sword was pointed at her? She could only accept it.

With Nangong Yan agreeing to give up, Cao Meng then waved his hand, signaling Shishi to put the Qingyu Divine Sword back into its sheath.

As the Azure Rain Divine Sword was sheathed, Nangong Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Nangong Yan's gritted teeth, Cao Meng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a way to ease the tension.

Cao Meng took out a jade slip and tossed it to Nangong Yan, saying:

"Grandmaster, consider these secret techniques as my apology to you!"

Back then, Cao Meng climbed the tower in the Sword Seeking Dao Ladder and obtained the secret technique—the Great Book of Sword Nurturing!

The Great Manual of Sword Nurturing records hundreds of methods for nurturing swords, seventy to eighty percent of which are demonic sword nurturing techniques.

The jade slip that Cao Meng gave to Nangong Yan contained several methods of sword nurturing that he had engraved from the Great Manual of Sword Nurturing.

All the methods of nurturing a sword have one thing in common: they all use the blood, flesh, and soul of living beings to nurture the sword!
Cao Meng handed over several methods of sword nurturing, but he also had his own little ideas.

He wanted the higher-ups of the Hehuan Sect to kill people to raise swords, thus inducing them to take action against that group of people.

After examining the jade slip that Cao Meng had discarded with her divine sense, Nangong Yan asked Cao Meng:

"You bastard, are those sword-nurturing techniques okay? I have a feeling you're plotting against me."

Nangong Yan didn't quite trust Cao Meng, after all, this scoundrel was an absolutely wicked person.

It's highly suspicious that they're suddenly being friendly to me now.

"Grandmaster, I have only ever been filial to you!"

Cao Meng couldn't understand why Nangong Yan thought so badly of him.

I'm not a bad person; I just want to fulfill my filial duty!

Nangong Yan sneered, then mocked:
"A filial piety?"

"You scoundrel, do you have any filial piety?"

Nangong Yan believed everyone who said they were filial, except for Cao Meng.

"That rebellious disciple, Consort Duanmu, is your master. Your filial piety towards her has become corrupted!"

Nangong Yan estimated that even if Cao Meng had filial piety, it had been corrupted and turned into lust.

The fact that Consort Duanmu and her master Cao Meng had sexual intercourse, and that her filial piety was shown on the bed, is the best evidence of this.

Cao Meng was very embarrassed when Nangong Yan brought up this matter.

My filial piety towards the female demon seems to have changed, but it also seems to have remained the same.

Although my relationship with the female demon is a little more complicated than a typical master-disciple relationship, I can't blame myself for it!

At first, I was passive, while the female demon was active.

Although his relationship with the female demon had broken the shackles of the master-disciple relationship, he was still very filial.

Each time, he fully cooperated with the female demon to help her cultivate, without much resistance.

The other party asked for the method of refining the Immortal Machine, which I provided.

He gave me the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique I asked for.

He wanted a share of the profits from his own business, and he did give it to them.

It's clear that his filial piety towards the female demon wasn't a big problem; at most, he just had a tiny bit more lust! (End of Chapter)
