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

Faced with the oncoming sword energy, the Second Elder at the front knew that he had no way to avoid it.

So he suddenly slapped the Third Elder with his palm, sending him flying.

"Run!"

The Second Elder had barely finished speaking when he was beheaded. His head flew off, and his primordial spirit was forcibly taken away by Cao Meng.

"Second Elder, Fifth Elder!"

The Fifth Elder's situation was similar to that of the First Elder; both were beheaded. Now, of the five Nascent Soul elders of the Azure Sky Sect, only the Third Elder, a female Nascent Soul cultivator, remains.

"You traitor Cao, you killed my Qingtian Sect members today, the Xuantian Sect will not let you get away with this!"

The Third Elder glared fiercely at Cao Meng, wishing she could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

"You said you'd let me go if I didn't kill you!"

Cao Meng sneered, and in a flash, he arrived in front of the Third Elder of the Azure Sky Sect and grabbed her by the neck.

The Third Elder of the Azure Sky Sect struggled incessantly, trying to break free from Cao Meng's grasp, but Cao Meng's left hand was like an unbreakable iron clamp, which she could not budge at all.

"Soul Refining of the Netherworld - Spirit Binding!"

Cao Meng used a secret technique to pull the primordial spirit of the Third Elder of the Qingtian Sect directly out of his physical body!
After Cao Meng packed up the five elders of the Qingtian Sect, he and Shishi clearly divided the tasks.

Shishi was responsible for devouring the essence and blood of the Qingtian Sect members, while Cao Meng was responsible for using Senluo Soul Refining to collect their souls.

Seeing this, Nangong Yan couldn't bear it any longer and stepped out of the void.

"You bastard, you've gone too far!"

Nangong Yan was furious. She had sent Cao Meng to capture people so she could forge swords for him.

After this bastard, he's raising living corpses here, completely disregarding the words of his master.

Nangong Yan scolded Cao Meng a few times, then quickly began packing up the Qingtian Sect cultivators.

Although the five elders of the Azure Sky Sect are dead, there are still many Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators, who are all good materials for sword forging.

That damned bastard! He made the supervisor have to do it himself. How hateful!
It's all the fault of that rebellious disciple, Consort Duanmu, for not teaching her disciples properly!
……

At this moment, the Azure Sky Sect has become a living hell, and many disciples are thinking of escaping.

Little did they know that Cao Meng had already ordered the Snow Maidens to seal off the entire Qingtian Sect from the outside.

Once those people escape to the foot of the mountain, they will become food for the snow women.

Moreover, even if they manage to break through the Snow Woman's encirclement, they still won't be able to escape.

Moreover, Shi Shi and Nangong Yan's divine senses enveloped the entire Qingtian Sect, including Cheng Yun Dao Ren, who was going to activate the sect's foundational power.

……

The Qingtian Sect's most treasured asset is actually a sixth-grade low-level mechanical puppet, comparable to a first-level Void Refinement stage cultivator.

Of course, this mechanical puppet was not created by the Qingtian Sect itself, but was bestowed upon it by the Xuantian Sect.

Thirty thousand years ago, the righteous and demonic paths fought a great war. The Qingtian Sect made great contributions to the Xuantian Sect, but its strength was severely damaged.

Therefore, the Xuantian Sect bestowed upon the Qingtian Sect a sixth-grade low-level mechanical puppet, enabling the Qingtian Sect to protect itself.

Of course, each activation of this sixth-tier low-grade mechanical puppet requires a massive amount of resources.

Even after the Qingtian Sect obtained the sixth-order mechanical puppet, they hardly used it. It was too expensive, and they couldn't afford it!
Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that because their Qingtian Sect is the son of the Xuantian Sect, few sects dare to touch them, so they don't usually need to use their sect's foundation!
But today, the Azure Sky Sect is facing annihilation, so Daoist Chengyun naturally cannot be stingy.

After arriving at the secret realm, Cheng Yun Dao Ren looked at the giant mechanical puppet in front of him with helplessness.

He then summoned a control jade talisman, and the giant mechanical puppet began to revive!

After the Daoist Chengyun controlled the semi-revived sixth-order mechanical puppet and absorbed a large amount of spirit stones, all the inscriptions on the mechanical puppet were activated.

"Hoohoo!"

The mechanical puppet roared and gradually grew larger until it reached a height of a thousand feet before stopping.

"You traitor Cao, today is your end!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

The Taoist priest, controlling the mechanical puppet, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Old dog, your laugh is really awful!"

Just as Cheng Yun Dao Ren was daydreaming, a mocking voice interrupted his beautiful dream.

Cheng Yun Daoist was immediately startled. He recognized the voice all too well. Wasn't that Cao Cao's voice?

Following the direction of the sound, Cheng Yun Dao Ren realized that the person was none other than Cao Cao.

"You traitor Cao, accept this!"

Before Cheng Yun Dao Ren could finish speaking, he quickly stopped, because Cao Meng had a woman by his side.

"Nangong Yan, what are you doing here?"

Cheng Yun Dao Ren was also a seasoned cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage with a thousand years of experience. He and Nangong Yan were from the same era, so even though they had met several hundred years ago, he still recognized Nangong Yan at a glance.

Before seeing Nangong Yan, Chengyun Daoist was extremely proud of his sixth-grade low-rank mechanical puppet.

Upon seeing Nangong Yan, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He was smug before because he thought he had Cao Meng completely under his control with his sixth-grade low-level mechanical puppet.

He was sweating profusely because Nangong Yan was at the Void Refinement stage and had him cornered.

Cheng Yun Dao Ren was very frustrated. They had all cultivated for a thousand years, so why was Nangong Yan a Void Refining Ancestor hundreds of years ago, while he was only at the fifth level of the Divine Transformation stage?

I can't even beat the opponent's grand-disciple!

Nangong Yan naturally recognized Cheng Yun Dao Ren, after all, a thousand years ago, he was a lackey of the Xuan Tian Sect.

Cheng Yun Daoist possessed mechanical puppets comparable to those at the first level of the Void Refinement stage. She felt Cao Meng might not be able to defeat him, so she spoke up:

"Old dog Cheng Yun, are you going to surrender willingly, or will you surrender willingly?"

Nangong Yan's words were very domineering, showing no regard for the mechanical puppet that was comparable to the first level of the Void Refinement Realm. This was her absolute confidence in her own strength!
"Grandmaster, you're trying to steal kills!"

Cao Meng felt that Nangong Yan had gone too far. She hadn't made a move before, but now that something good was out, she was trying to steal kills. That was too much!
"You think you can rob me? You think you can beat me?"

Nangong Yan punched Cao Meng on the head; this bastard was really infuriating.

I, as his grandmaster, knew that Cao Meng was no match for him, which is why I spoke up. And this bastard is so ungrateful!
"Grandmaster, I should be able to beat him!"

Cao Meng felt that the problem shouldn't be too big, considering that he had plundered quite a few spirit stones on his way here.

Even if someone at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage can't defeat a low-grade sixth-tier mechanical puppet, they can still spend some money along the way.

"You bastard, if you want to get beaten up, then go ahead!"

Enraged, Nangong Yan kicked Cao Meng in the butt, sending him flying.

Since the other party is determined to get beaten up, I, as his grandmaster, will grant his wish.

As for Cao Meng's life, Nangong Yan was not worried.

Right under his and Shishi's noses, a sixth-rank low-grade mechanical puppet couldn't even harm Cao Meng's life.

When Cheng Yun Dao Ren saw Nangong Yan, he thought he was doomed.

Now that Cao Meng wanted to spar with him, he was overjoyed, knowing that his chance had come.

As long as he captures Cao Meng, he can use him as a hostage to save his own life and delay until the experts from the Xuan Tian Sect arrive. "Little devil, bring on your tricks!"

Cheng Yun Dao Ren gestured for Cao Meng to make the first move, not because he had any seniority, but because Nangong Yan was there.

If Nangong Yan hadn't been there, he would have already made his move.

Now that Nangong Yan is here, if he makes the first move and displeases that female demon, he will probably only have one fate: to be annihilated, body and soul.

If I want to capture Cao Meng as a hostage, I need to hold back for a while and find an opportunity!

"Old dog, you're still putting on an act with those mechanical puppets, aren't you?"

"If it weren't for the mechanical puppets, I'd slap you to death!"

Cao Meng was furious. He, the cheater, hadn't even had a chance to show off, but this old dog was already doing it right in front of him.

Do you really think you've wasted your cheat code?
"Star-Picking and Moon-Playing Hand!"

Cao Meng revealed his Dharma form and immediately unleashed the Hehuan Sect's signature move, slapping Chengyun Daoist across the face.

Although Cheng Yun Dao Ren truly did not know the power of Cao Meng's move.

However, Cao Meng's 666-zhang-tall Dharma form made him realize that this move was beyond his own strength to withstand.

After all, his own strength was only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
The Taoist priest quickly used the jade talisman to control the mechanical puppet to protect himself.

Cao Meng's palm struck the thousand-foot-tall mechanical puppet, leaving a large handprint on it and causing one of the inscriptions on the puppet to crumble!
"This little devil's power is truly terrifying. He's only at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, yet he can injure my sixth-grade low-level mechanical puppet!"

Upon seeing the damaged mechanical puppet, Cheng Yun Dao Ren couldn't help but gasp and sigh.

Cheng Yun Dao Ren estimated that if Cao Meng's move had landed on him, he would have been doomed.

Just as Cheng Yun Dao Ren was feeling sentimental, Cao Meng attacked him again.

Not to be outdone, Cheng Yun Dao Ren quickly manipulated his mechanical puppet to fight back, unleashing a punch at Cao Meng.

"Let's see if your pile of scrap metal fists are harder, or my fists are harder."

Cao Meng unleashed his full physical power, manifesting the Crimson Flame Golden Body with the power of his innate Geng Metal and the power of the sun.

"boom!"

When Cao Meng's fist collided with the mechanical puppet, the sonic boom sounded like thunder exploding across the heavens.

The clash of their fists unleashed a destructive force, shattering space and creating nothingness.

"interesting!"

This exchange of blows made Cao Meng's blood feel like it was on fire.

This was the first time he had used his true strength since becoming a sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even fighting against mechanical puppets filled him with fervor.

As the fighting spirit surged through his veins, Cao Meng was incredibly excited.

He wielded the Rainbow Sword in one hand and gathered the True Fire of the Sun in the other, constantly battling the mechanical puppets.

Cao Meng was excited when he arrived, while Cheng Yun Dao Ren was in a bit of a predicament.

He originally thought that by giving Cao Meng a break in the early stages and confusing Nangong Yan, he could find an opportunity to capture Cao Meng and use him as a hostage.

But the result was that he didn't dare to release the water at all.

This Cao traitor is not human at all, he is a humanoid monster. Although he is at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, his combat power is no weaker than that of the first level of the Void Refinement stage!

If I were to be even slightly careless while operating the mechanical puppet, I would likely only end up being torn apart alive by that humanoid monster, Cao Cao!
Isn't the Hehuan Sect supposed to specialize in the art of Yin-Yang cultivation? How did they end up raising such a humanoid monster?!
Watching Cao Meng fight the mechanical puppet to a standstill, Nangong Yan couldn't help but sigh:
"No wonder my hands hurt when I beat up this bastard."

So this damned thing's physical body has already reached the level of a sixth-tier spiritual weapon!

Nangong Yan strongly suspected that this bastard was just trying to make his physical body stronger so that her hand would hurt when she beat him up.

That jockey, Miezu, is a truly wicked bastard!

I need to get a level 6 hammer so my hands won't hurt when I'm hammering this bastard.

Nangong Yan took it to the Immortal Mirror, and was just about to contact those six-level weapon refiners to help her refine a six-level hammer when...

A group of Void Refinement stage elders sent her messages one after another:
"Nangong Yan, according to the undercover report, the fourth patriarch of the Xuantian Sect has ordered that whoever captures Cao Meng alive will become the next sect master of the Xuantian Sect!"

"Many Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Xuantian Sect are now heading towards the Qingtian Sect, and it's highly likely that a Void Refinement stage cultivator from the Xuantian Sect will appear!"

The Xuantian Sect has spies within the Hehuan Sect, and naturally, the Hehuan Sect also has spies within the Xuantian Sect.

The decree from the Fourth Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect has caused such a huge commotion that it has already spread throughout the sect.

After receiving the intelligence, the undercover agent of the Hehuan Sect immediately reported it to the sect.

"Nangong Yan, we and our fellow Daoists from the Beast Soul Sect are already heading towards the Azure Sky Sect. You'd better take Cao Meng and leave the Azure Sky Sect to join us!"

Xi Feng sent a message to Nangong Yan, offering some suggestions.

To be honest, neither the Hehuan Sect nor the Beast Soul Sect expected that this bait would be so elaborate.

They originally only wanted to catch a few fish, but now they've attracted a whole school of fish, including possibly several kingfish.

Even now, Xi Feng and the others cannot guarantee whether the Void Refinement stage cultivators from the Hehuan Sect, the Beast Soul Sect, or the Xuantian Sect will arrive first.

The current concern is that the Void Refinement stage cultivators from the Xuantian Sect will arrive first, and not just one or two, but several at once.

"You guys go and lie in ambush at Yangshan. I'll take this bastard and lure them there!"

After her rampage, Nangong Yan gave Xifeng and the others an answer.

Nangong Yan realized she had gone too far this time, so she asked Shishi a question:
"Shishi, how strong are you now?"

"Can your Azure Rain Divine Sword sever a combined entity?"

Nangong Yan wasn't sure how strong Shishi was. If Shishi could defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator, she thought it would be fine to just wait here for the Xuantian Sect to come to them.

"Humph!"

Shishi snorted coldly and completely ignored Nangong Yan.

In Shishi's eyes, Nangong Yan was also a bad woman, who often bullied Cao Meng by taking advantage of her status as an elder.

Nangong Yan, this wicked woman, is only slightly better than Xia Yulan, Duanmu Fei, and An Yingji; she won't try to steal Cao Meng from me!

"Forehead!"

Nangong Yan looked very unhappy when Shishi ignored her.

The other party was nothing more than a living corpse raised by that bastard, that is, a maid, while he himself was that bastard's grandmaster.

How dare a maid ignore this elder!
In a bit, I'll go and beat that bastard up myself, and teach him a lesson for failing to discipline his children properly!
"Damn it, the Void Refinement stage ancestor of the Xuantian Sect is coming."

"If you can't finish this fight quickly, get out of my way and let me crush that old dog Chengyun!"

Nangong Yan was somewhat angry because Shishi ignored her and gave her the cold shoulder, so she took her anger out on Cao Meng, who was not strict in managing his subordinates.

"Old dog Cheng Yun, I've had my fill of playing with you. Now I'm sending you on your way. Get ready for my ultimate move!"

As Cao Meng made his threat and pretended to prepare to unleash his ultimate attack, he secretly transmitted his voice to Hong Qi:
"Pink fox, use your bell to capture him!"

After Cao Meng transmitted his voice, he mobilized all his spiritual power, looking as if he was about to unleash a powerful attack to decide the outcome of the battle.

While fully controlling the mechanical puppet, Cheng Yun Dao Ren also kept an eye on Nangong Yan.

Little did he know, Hong Qi had already secretly taken out the Heavenly Fox Divine Bell. (End of Chapter)
