We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 269 Engraved with a Blood-Red Flower (4000 words)
Seven days have passed since the great battle.

During these seven days, the Myriad Paths Sect continued to operate as usual.

For the vast majority of cultivators, it did not have a significant impact.

After all, the larger a sect is, the greater its "inertia" and the greater its resistance to risks.

Even though many hall masters, peak masters, and elders died in that great battle, the second-in-commands of each hall and peak temporarily assumed the positions of peak master and hall master.

But there is one thing that cannot be ignored.

A sect cannot be without a leader.

Just as a country cannot be without a ruler.

The first few days were fine, but as time went on, some cultivators began to feel uneasy.

Within the Myriad Paths Sect, many cultivators have already begun to speculate about who the next sect leader will be.

Most disciples of the Myriad Paths Sect believe that the next sect leader is likely to be Elder Shi of the Punishment Hall.

Elder Shi of the Punishment Hall is a Perfect Immortal Realm cultivator, over seven thousand years old, and extremely experienced.

Moreover, Elder Shi has been in charge of the Punishment Hall for many years, and his clear distinction between rewards and punishments has earned him a good reputation in the Myriad Paths Sect.

Therefore, in the hearts of these disciples, Elder Shi's appointment as sect leader was convincing.

But Elder Shi hasn't said a word these past few days.

It wasn't just Elder Shi; all the high-ranking members of the Myriad Paths Sect kept silent.

None of them tried to vie for the position of sect leader; they all seemed to be waiting for something.

Two weeks after the great battle.

A man dressed in black left Yexue Peak and headed straight for the Wandao Hall on the main peak of the Wandao Sect.

With each step the man took, the spiritual energy beneath his feet rippled outwards throughout the entire Myriad Paths Sect.

The man walked slowly, as if he wanted Quan Zong to see clearly where he was going and what he was doing.

The man's high-profile emergence naturally attracted the attention of all the high-ranking members of the Myriad Paths Sect.

They all looked up and gazed in the direction of the man.

Without the slightest hesitation, the high-ranking members of the Myriad Paths Sect simultaneously flew towards the main peak and entered the Myriad Paths Hall on the main peak.

Inside the main hall, the hall masters, peak masters, and elders all stood on both sides.

They didn't say a word, they just stared outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Paths.

After an incense stick had burned, the man in black walked through the gates of the Myriad Paths Hall.

The high-ranking members of the Wandao Sect all bowed their heads.

Xiao Mo didn't even glance to either side.

He just kept walking forward.

At the very front of the main hall are dozens of steps.

At the very top of the steps is the Sect Master's seat, which has existed since the founding of the Myriad Paths Sect.

Xiao Mo stepped onto the stairs one by one.

His posture was upright and steady.

Upon reaching the top of the steps, Xiao Mo glanced indifferently at the black iron seat in front of him, then turned and sat down, looking down at the high-ranking members of the Myriad Paths Sect.

"From this day forward, I am the Sect Master of the Myriad Paths Sect." Xiao Mo looked at the crowd and said calmly, "Anyone who disagrees may step forward."

Xiao Mo's voice echoed out of the main hall and reverberated throughout the entire Wandao Sect.

He wasn't just speaking to these high-ranking members of the Myriad Paths Sect, but to the entire sect.

In the main hall, the elders, peak masters, and hall masters exchanged glances and then bowed in greeting.

Their voices also emanated from the Hall of Myriad Paths, spreading to every corner of the Myriad Paths Sect:

"We pay our respects to the Sect Master!"

In a very short time, the fact that Xiao Mo had become the sect master of the Myriad Paths Sect had become known to everyone in the sect.

Some people think it's only natural, after all, Xiao Mo's strength is too exaggerated.

Some people think that Xiao Mo lacks experience, after all, he is too young.

but no matter.

Everyone has to admit it.

For tens of thousands of years, in the Western Regions.

A man whose bone age was no more than twenty years old became the sect leader of one of the ten great demonic sects in the Western Regions.

This is unprecedented.

After Xiao Mo became the sect leader of the Myriad Paths Sect, he issued various sect leader orders within two days.

His junior sister Yu Yunwei became the deputy sect leader, and Si Li of Wanhua Peak became the peak master of Wanhua Peak and joined the council as an elder.

The two worked together with Xiao Mo to manage all matters, large and small, within the sect.

Their orders were Xiao Mo's orders, and no one was allowed to disobey them.

Those high-ranking officials who sided with Xiao Mo at the time.

Those who were originally hall masters, peak masters, or elders, whose positions could not be higher, were rewarded with three half-immortal weapons from the Wandao Sect, and their annual salary for their respective mountain halls was tripled.

Originally, cultivators who were only the second or third in command of a hall on a mountain peak were now directly in charge of the hall on that mountain peak.

Xiao Mo then promulgated the laws of the Myriad Paths Sect, establishing rules for the sect.

Its contents include: "No cultivator of the Myriad Paths Sect shall attack ordinary cultivators or even common people without cause, nor shall they use them to make pills or perform blood sacrifices." "Fellow disciples shall not frame or kill each other." "All evil practices that use the flesh and soul of others as nourishment are strictly prohibited." "From now on, disciples of the Myriad Paths Sect may only engage in dual cultivation and shall not engage in sexual intercourse."

The Wandao Sect's laws consist of thirty items.

The newly promulgated laws of the Wandao Sect have aroused dissatisfaction among many disciples.

Some people cultivate techniques that use the flesh, blood, and soul of others as nourishment. In order to break through, they often sacrifice a city or even a dynasty in the mortal world.

Some people practice not the dual cultivation method, but the method of absorbing the essence of another person. After all, the dual cultivation method is too slow, but absorbing the essence of another person is the fastest way to improve.

The laws promulgated by Xiao Mo undoubtedly touched upon their very foundation.

They even doubted whether they were in the demonic sect or in some prestigious sect.

After all, if the Demonic Sect can't do whatever it wants, can it still be called the Demonic Sect?
For a time, some sects and mountain peaks wanted to rebel.

What Xiao Mo did was very simple: he killed.

You either abandon your cultivation method and start cultivating again, or you will die in the Myriad Paths Sect.

As for escaping the Myriad Paths Sect and joining another sect?

You do not have this option.

Within ten days, Xiao Mo thoroughly cleansed the entire Wan Dao Sect from top to bottom.

Many elders and deacons sought out the "loyal ministers" who had protected Xiao Mo in the past, hoping they would plead for his life.

But all their requests were rejected.

In fact, these elders and peak masters who were "loyal ministers" were all very clear about their relationship with Xiao Mo.

The reason I stood by Xiao Mo's side back then was not because I had many feelings for him, and in fact, some people even disliked him.

But they knew Xiao Mo couldn't die.

Because Ding Jingyi died, the Wandao Sect no longer has any cultivators at the Ascension Realm.

A sect without an Ascension Realm cultivator in charge is not qualified to be called one of the Ten Great Demonic Sects.

Not to mention that the Wan Dao Sect's protective formation was severely damaged, and the sect's high-level combat power suffered too many losses.

The other major demonic sects will definitely be eyeing the Myriad Paths Sect covetously.

Although Xiao Mo is only at the Immortal Realm, his strength far surpasses that of ordinary Ascension Realm cultivators.

Moreover, in their eyes, Xiao Mo was certain to reach the Ascension Realm.

By then, the Myriad Paths Sect will truly be the number one sect in the Western Regions.

Other demonic sects in the Western Regions may become subordinate to the Myriad Paths Sect.

And they will also gain more benefits.

In comparison, if Xiao Mo had died back then, Xia Kong and his group would have been roughly equal in strength to them.

At that time, the Myriad Paths Sect would inevitably have been engulfed in internal strife. Even without other sects invading, the Myriad Paths Sect would likely have already disintegrated.

Therefore, some of them genuinely support Xiao Mo, while most others do so because they have no other choice but to support him.

Xiao Mo naturally knew what these people were thinking.

After all, cultivators talk more about interests than feelings.

How much affection does Xiao Mo have for them?
Everyone just tacitly agreed to save face.

Therefore, these hall masters and peak masters who saw through the situation eventually shut themselves off from visitors and stopped caring about anything.

They believed that if they pleaded for these people, Xiao Mo would not show them any mercy.

As a result, Xiao Mo killed more and more people.

They killed until no one dared to harbor any illusions anymore.

They killed until no one dared to disobey the laws of the Myriad Paths Sect anymore.

All they could do was accept it.

During the period when the Myriad Paths Sect was undergoing reforms, news of the death of its sect leader, Ding Jingyi, also reached the ears of the other nine major demonic sects.

Especially the Beast Emperor Sect, which has a deep grudge against Xiao Mo.

When he heard that the sect leader of the Myriad Paths Sect had died, and that only 30% of the cultivators in the Jade Purity Realm and Immortal Realm remained, Tang Beifeng, the sect leader of the Emperor Beast Sect, quickly became active.

Although Tang Beifeng didn't know exactly what had happened at the Wandao Sect.

However, the Wan Dao Sect currently lacks any Ascension Realm cultivators to oversee it, and even its protective formation is severely damaged, so the sect must be in a state of panic.

This is the best opportunity to divide up the Myriad Paths Sect.

It wasn't just Tang Beifeng who thought this way; the other eight demonic sects also wanted to take a piece of the Myriad Paths Sect.

But they didn't want to bear the risk alone.

After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and the Myriad Paths Sect, even on its last legs, is not so easy to devour.

Thus, the nine major demonic sects formed the "Nine Demon Alliance" to jointly attack the Myriad Paths Sect.

The cultivators of the Myriad Paths Sect soon heard the news.

Every disciple of the Myriad Paths Sect was startled, unsure of what to do.

The nine major demonic sects launched an attack on the Myriad Paths Sect, an unprecedented event.

Currently, the Myriad Paths Sect does not have a single Ascension Realm expert in charge.

As for their own young sect leader...

Although it is rumored that his immortal realm is comparable to the ascension realm, he personally killed Ding Jingyi.

But most people haven't seen it with their own eyes, so how can they feel at ease?
And so what if Xiao Mo's realm is comparable to the Ascension Realm?
Only half a month had passed since that great battle.

I heard that Xiao Mo was seriously injured. Even if his injuries improve, they are unlikely to be fully healed, let alone the fact that nine sect leaders at the Ascension Realm invaded the Myriad Paths Sect together!
Even the protective array of the Wandao Sect is now severely damaged.

For a time, the people of the Myriad Paths Sect were filled with panic.

Even some of the higher-ups in the Myriad Paths Sect were uneasy.

But Xiao Mo never once stepped forward to comfort anyone.

"Sect Master, should we step in and calm the emotions of the Myriad Paths Sect disciples?"

One day, Si Li came to Ye Xue Peak and asked Xiao Mo a question.

Xiao Mo, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes: "Let's post a notice."

"Sect Master, please speak," Si Li said respectfully.

"If you're going to get out, then get out."

Xiao Mo spoke calmly.

Si Li was taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded, her voice revealing her even greater infatuation with the man before her: "Yes, Sect Master!"

After returning to Wanhua Peak, Si Li instructed her junior sister to post the notice with these four characters throughout the entire Wandao Sect.

"Peak Master, are you sure this is alright?"

The junior sister who was assisting Si Li with her affairs asked worriedly.

“As long as it’s what the sect leader says, then there’s no problem,” Si Li said with a smile.

"But Peak Master, these are the Nine Great Demonic Sects! I've heard that all nine Ascension Realm sect leaders will be coming, and our Myriad Paths Sect's protective formation is completely unusable right now."

The junior sister named Lily gently bit her thin lips.

"Can the sect leader really hold on?"

"Who knows?" Si Li shook her head, her expression calm. "To be honest, I know the sect leader is very strong, but this time, facing the nine major demonic sects, I don't really have much confidence."

"Then, Peak Master, since that's the case, shall we leave the Myriad Paths Sect? It's better than waiting to die here," Baihe said worriedly.

"Lily, if you want to leave, then go ahead. I won't blame you." Si Li looked at Lily gently. "But I won't leave."

"Why?" Lily asked, puzzled.

“Because,” Si Li tapped her junior sister’s forehead, her eyes crinkling, “I haven’t asked him to carry me yet.”

Outside the courtyard, Yu Yunwei, who was about to discuss matters with Si Li, heard the conversation coming from inside the room and looked very disdainful.

"What a slut, pretending to be innocent!"

Yu Yunwei placed the file at the doorway and turned to leave.

But she also knew that there were countless people in this world who were not as good as this slut.

The next morning, Xiao Mo's words, "If you want to get lost, then get lost," were circulated throughout the entire Wandao Sect.

When the disciples of the Myriad Paths Sect saw these four large characters, they were all stunned, wondering if they had misread them.

They didn't expect Xiao Mozhen to let them go, instead of binding them and the other cultivators to the chariot.

At first, some disciples did not believe it, thinking that they would die if they took the first step outside the sect.

However, after the disciples attempted to leave the sect and successfully did so, they realized that what Xiao Mo said was true.

As a result, more and more cultivators left the Myriad Paths Sect.

But Xiao Mo simply sat cross-legged in front of Xue Kui's tomb.

He seemed completely indifferent to everything that happened at the Myriad Paths Sect.

Ten days later, the armies of the nine major demonic sects pressed in.

The thought of seizing everything from the Myriad Paths Sect filled everyone with excitement.

They had also heard that the female cultivators of the Myriad Flowers Peak of the Myriad Paths Sect were incredibly diverse and all exceptionally beautiful, especially Si Li, who was naturally alluring. In addition, there was Yu Yunwei, whose beauty was renowned throughout the Western Regions. This made them even more eager to meet her.

"Everyone! Sect Master Ding was my dearest friend, but he was killed by a villain. Today, we swear to avenge Sect Master Ding!" Tang Beifeng, the Sect Master of the Emperor Beast Sect, shouted to the 30,000 cultivators floating in the air.

"Avenge Sect Leader Ding!"

"Avenge Sect Leader Ding!"

The cultivators shouted in unison.

"Kill! Infiltrate the Myriad Paths Sect!"

With a command from the sect leader of the White Jade Sect, the impatient cultivators filed in, flooding into the Myriad Paths Sect like a tidal wave.

But just as the ten thousand people entered the territory of the Myriad Paths Sect.

They saw a man sitting on a mountain peak not far away.

The man was alone.

He was dressed in black, with a black knife at his waist.

The only difference in color was the vermilion gourd he wore at his waist.

All the onlookers saw was the man untie the gourd, tilt his head back, and drink it down in one gulp.

The mulberry wine overflowed from the man's mouth and slid down the corners of his lips.

Look carefully and leave.

On the gourd.

It is engraved with a blood-red flower.
