Chapter 362 The Intercepting Sect?

Shen Gongbao is the current Grand Preceptor of the Heavenly Demon God Dynasty.

Under his leadership, the Heavenly Demon Dynasty is thriving and has the potential to soar to great heights.

However, one point is worth mentioning.
That is, Shen Gongbao rarely showed his true face.

In the Heavenly Demon God Dynasty, he even used the alias 'Shen Yu'.

He looked like a refined scholar, holding a folding fan, exuding elegance.

"I am Shen Yu, and I greet Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."

Shen Gongbao looked at the figure sitting high on the throne with a respectful expression.

"Ah."

With a slight nod, Yu Qiye also raised his right hand, and a gentle force, like a spring breeze, lifted Shen Gongbao up.

"The Heavenly Demon Dynasty owes most of its current status to you."

Yu Qiye praised him sincerely.

"Demon Emperor, there's no need for such formalities. What business do you have? Please give your instructions."

Shen Gongbao's eyes flickered, as if he had seen something.

“I’ve heard that you were on good terms with the members of the Jie Sect before.”

Yu Qiye's words were pointed.

However, upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao's body trembled, and an extremely complicated expression appeared on his face.

Jiejiao?

The pain that will forever remain in his heart.

Although he was not a direct descendant of the Jie Sect, he instigated a large number of Jie Sect disciples to descend the mountain to face the calamity, resulting in his souls filling the Investiture of the Gods list.

This has caused him to feel guilty ever since.

Now that Yu Qiye has brought up the old story again, it's like rubbing salt into a wound.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Shen Gongbao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"I'm not saying all this to make you sad."

With a soft chuckle, Yu Qiye frankly stated:
"I am bringing up the Jiejiao sect because what I am about to talk about is related to the Jiejiao sect, and even to its resurgence."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao was suddenly startled.

Whether out of guilt towards the Jie Sect or for other reasons, Shen Gongbao was more agitated than ever before.

He took several more steps forward.

"Your Majesty, is what you say true?"

"nature."

As he spoke, Yu Qiye also mentioned some of his thoughts on the Jie Sect.

Shen Gongbao became especially agitated when he discussed his intention to establish the "Intercepting Sect" as the state religion.

"Your Majesty, I think this is an excellent move. The Jie Sect has always upheld the principle of education for all."

"They have an excellent reputation among our demon race. If the Jie Sect were to become the state religion, the entire demon race would surely be shaken."

One after another, Shen Gongbao also talked about the various benefits of the 'Intercepting Sect' becoming the state religion.

However, shortly after, Shen Gongbao changed the subject and said:
"But Your Majesty, the Jie Sect becoming the state religion of the demon race also has enormous drawbacks."

"harm?"

Yu Qiye raised an eyebrow.

"Although the Jie Sect is an extremely powerful sect with an astonishing heritage, it has made many enemies."

"Moreover, the resurgence of the Jie Sect will likely put many forces on alert."

One voice after another, Shen Gongbao also analyzed the various disadvantages of the Jie Sect.

However, the most crucial element is probably the sage.
That saint of the Jie Sect was once fighting against four saints and was at odds with them.

If the Jie Sect and the demon race were to unite, it would mean that the demon race might offend the other saints.

just
Yu Qiye didn't seem to care much about this.

Do those sages really need to be offended by the demon race?
The Primordial Celestial Venerable disliked those born from wombs or eggs.
Lao Tzu, the Supreme Lord, believed in tranquility and non-action, and was free from joy and sorrow.
The two Buddhist saints, needless to say, have repeatedly attacked the demon race with underhanded tactics.

As for the goddess Nuwa, that's understandable.

Although she was born as a demon, she created the human race with her own hands.

One is race, the other is child.
However, their own race and the human race are considered to be half mortal enemies.

I reckon it's a difficult situation for her too.

"Although I am on good terms with the Goddess Houtu, Houtu obviously does not like the demon race."

With a sigh, Yu Qiye also felt some sympathy for the demon race.

The only saint among the demon race may not necessarily choose the demon race.

The other sages each had their own reasons for disliking the demon race.

How pitiful.

But never mind. He never expected the saint to show mercy to the demon race anyway.
Time passed slowly, and half a day had gone by in the blink of an eye. Yu Qiye and Shen Gongbao talked for a long time.

Finally, they made a decision.

"The Jie Sect must become the state religion of the demon race, but this matter should not be publicized. It will be announced when necessary."

"Currently, we are trying to contact the scattered seeds of the Jie Sect throughout the primordial world."

At this point, Yu Qiye looked at Shen Gongbao:

"This is yours."

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao's face showed a complicated expression.

He had a feeling of 'extreme familiarity'.

Back then, he led many disciples of the Jie Sect into the tribulation.

Now, they are deceiving many disciples of the Jie Sect into joining the Heavenly Demon God Dynasty.

"Hopefully, we won't repeat the mistake we made last time."

With a sigh, Shen Gongbao also looked at Yu Qiye and said:
"Reporting to the Demon Emperor, I will certainly not disappoint you."

"Ah."

With a slight nod, Yu Qiye also showed his anticipation.

Not long after, Shen Gongbao left.

He headed straight for the remote overseas islands.

He knew that there were still many disciples of the Jie Sect there.

However, it's likely that the disciples of the Jie Sect won't welcome him too much.

after all
At the same time, Yu Qiye, who was sitting high in the Heavenly Demon God Palace, also received some information about the Old Mother of Lishan.

"I never expected that the Old Mother of Lishan would be here."

With a soft chuckle, Yu Qiye also looked astonished.

The Old Mother of Lishan lived not far from him.

You could even say they're very close.

Of course, that was his other home.

Today, Mount Jilei is the hometown of the Fox King Wansui.

"Someone, prepare some generous gifts first."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."

With a response, a very sensible fox spirit slowly withdrew.

"Husband."

A sudden shout came from not far away.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a graceful figure swayed her slender waist as she walked towards them.
