Chapter 100 The Seed of the Saintess
"Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his piercing gaze swept over Luo Siqing as if he wanted to see right through her.

Luo Siqing remained calm and met Tuoba Feng's gaze without flinching.

"it is good!"

After a long pause, Tuoba Feng uttered a single word.

Immediately, a communication talisman appeared in his palm. He infused it with spiritual power, and the talisman transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the Demon Palace.

Before long, two disciples of the Demonic Sect strode into the hall and bowed to receive orders.

"Issue my order to summon all elders and peak masters to the Demon Palace immediately. There are important matters to discuss," Tuoba Feng said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The two disciples accepted the order, bowed, and quickly left.

shhhhhh...

Soon after, streaks of light of various colors streaked across the sky and landed one after another at the entrance of the Demon Palace.

The light subsided, revealing the elders and peak masters of the Demon Sect, their faces showing curiosity or doubt.

"Why has the sect leader summoned me so suddenly?"

"This is indeed strange. The five major sects are not currently at war, so why are they suddenly summoning us?"

People who know each other secretly communicate with each other, but none of them can figure out what's going on.

As they whispered amongst themselves, they entered the magnificent yet somewhat eerie Demon Palace.

When they saw that in addition to the sect leader Tuoba Feng, Luo Siqing was also standing in the hall, many people's eyes revealed a look of inquiry.

Soon, except for those who were in seclusion or had gone out and had not returned, all the other elders and peak masters arrived.

"Sect Master, why have you suddenly summoned us?" A gaunt elder was the first to ask.

"It is Junior Sister Luo who has something important to tell you all in person, and I am also quite curious." Tuoba Feng turned his gaze to Luo Siqing.

she?
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Luo Siqing.

"Gentlemen, please look!"

Luo Siqing's expression remained unchanged as she gently brushed her hand across the storage bag. A corpse landed with a "thud" on the open ground in the center of the Demon Palace.

"This is……"

Everyone stared intently, and a few people's pupils suddenly contracted, exclaiming, "This is Liu Jingxuan, the young sect master of the Qingping Sword Sect! He... Junior Sister Luo, did you kill him?"

“That’s right!” Luo Siqing readily admitted.

"Excellent! Liu Jingxuan was Liu Shenhong's most beloved only son. Junior Sister Luo's ability to kill him is truly a great achievement! He is indeed a genius that our Demon Sect has not seen in decades!" An old man wearing a black robe with flame patterns clapped his hands in praise, his face full of admiration.

"Killing Liu Jingxuan is a merit? Hmph, I doubt it!" An old woman with snow-white hair and a mean face sneered. "Liu Jingxuan is deeply favored by Liu Shenhong. Killing him will only intensify the conflict between the two sects and invite Liu Shenhong's relentless revenge! This is a self-inflicted wound!"

Luo Siqing's gaze swept over.

Beside the old woman sat a woman dressed in a white dress with an exceptionally beautiful face.

The woman's eyes were half-closed. Although she was stunningly beautiful, her brows carried an innate arrogance that made people afraid to look directly at her.

Ye Aoxue!
Before Luo Siqing's sudden emergence, she was hailed as the most talented female cultivator in the Blood Fiend Demon Sect, and is now one of the strong contenders for the title of the sect's Holy Maiden.

Behind each of these top talents is a group of supporters.

The old woman who voiced her opposition was Ye Aoxue's supporter.

According to the teachings of my past life, this is an investment.

"Bullshit!" the old man in the black robes of flames immediately retorted angrily, "The Qingping Sword Sect and my Demon Sect have always been mortal enemies! Even if Liu Jingxuan is not killed, do you think the two sects will shake hands and make peace? Moreover, has my Demon Sect ever been afraid of Liu Shenhong's revenge? If these words were to spread, it would only diminish the prestige of my Demon Sect! What exactly are you up to?"

This old man was a staunch supporter of Luo Siqing.

"Hmph, killing Liu Jingxuan is nothing, why make such a fuss, summoning all the elders and peak masters? It's like we've accomplished some unparalleled feat." The old woman continued her cold remarks.

"Gentlemen!" Luo Siqing's clear, cold voice rang out again, drowning out the discussions in the hall, "I have summoned you all here today to explain my true identity!"

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and they all turned to look at Luo Siqing again.

What is her true identity? Is there more to this story?
"My true identity before joining the Demonic Sect..." Luo Siqing looked around at everyone and said, word by word, "was a disciple of the Qingping Sword Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Palace fell into a deathly silence, everyone showing astonishment. Even Tuoba Feng was no exception!

This answer clearly exceeded his expectations.

Even Ye Aoxue, who had been keeping her eyes half-closed, suddenly opened them, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Good! So you're a spy planted in my Demonic Sect by the Qingping Sword Sect! You deserve to die!" The old woman immediately shrieked, her face flushed with excitement. "Sect Master, I implore you to capture Luo Siqing immediately and execute her on the spot!"

Overjoyed, she had finally seized the opportunity to completely bring down Luo Siqing.

"Shut up, you crazy woman!"

The old man in the black robes, radiating flames, immediately retorted sharply, "If Junior Sister Luo were truly a spy for the Qingping Sword Sect, why would she personally kill Liu Jingxuan? There must be more to this story! Even if Junior Sister Luo was planted by the Sword Sect before, from the moment she killed Liu Jingxuan, she completely broke with the Qingping Sword Sect and could only be a true disciple of my Demon Sect!"

The old woman wanted to argue, but Tuoba Feng stopped her by raising his hand.

His gaze sharpened as he looked at Luo Siqing: "Tell me the whole story!"

“Yes.” Luo Siqing nodded slightly. “Back then, I was forced into it. Liu Shenhong and his son Liu Jingxuan captured my parents and sister and used them as hostages to force me to infiltrate the Demon Sect.”

"Their ultimate goal was because my 'Netherworld Red Lotus' unique spiritual root was highly compatible with the 'Nine Netherworld Demon Flame Technique,' and cultivating this technique could maximize the potential of my spiritual root. After I established my foundation, Liu Jingxuan wanted to use the lives of my family to coerce me into cultivating the 'Yin Yang Harmony Great Compassion Ode' with him, helping him achieve a second-grade flawless Dao foundation. I refused to comply even at the cost of death, and ultimately took a desperate gamble, striking first to capture Liu Jingxuan, forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of the monks, and then..."

Luo Siqing briefly recounted what had happened.

Most of what she said was true.

Because she knew that everyone present was a cunning old fox who had lived for hundreds of years or even longer, and if she fabricated a lie, it would be very easy for them to see through her.

Only by telling the truth can one gain people's trust.

Of course, she also made some necessary adjustments.

For example, Lu Lin's role in this matter was omitted, and the details of his being poisoned by the "fallen to the mortal world" poison were also concealed.

He only emphasized that he was unwilling to be coerced, and decisively fought back. After rescuing his family, he killed Liu Jingxuan and from then on, he was devoted to the Demon Sect and had no other intentions.

"Who knows if this is a ruse orchestrated by you and the Qingping Sword Sect? Everyone, you must not trust her!" the old woman questioned again in a shrill voice.

"You crazy woman, have you lost your mind?" The old man in the black robe with flames mocked mercilessly. "A self-inflicted injury? Using Liu Shenhong's only son's life to stage a self-inflicted injury? That price is too high! Do you think Liu Shenhong is a fool?"

"Who knows if Liu Jingxuan died in some other accident and was used by them to stage this play? Even if Liu Jingxuan was really killed by her, how many secrets did she leak and how many things did she do to damage the sect during her years in the Demon Sect? Based on that alone, she cannot escape the death penalty!" The old woman argued illogically, sneering repeatedly.

"I have never done anything to harm the interests of the Demonic Sect!" Luo Siqing's voice was calm but resolute. "As I just explained, Liu Jingxuan's ultimate goal is to use my spiritual root to help him achieve a second-grade Dao Foundation. Before that is done, they will do everything they can to cover up my identity. Why would they let me take risks to carry out spy missions and needlessly increase the risk of exposure? Their real purpose in sending me to the Demonic Sect is to let me cultivate here in peace, not to act as a spy to pass on intelligence."

"Hmph, empty words are meaningless. It's all your own opinion. Who can testify?" the old woman scoffed.

Luo Siqing ignored her and instead surveyed the entire scene, clasped his hands in a fist and said loudly, "I, Luo Siqing, have personally killed Liu Jingxuan. From now on, I am irreconcilably opposed to the Qingping Sword Sect, and we will fight to the death! Now that my family is safe, from this day forward, my heart is with the Demon Sect, and I have no more worries!"

"I believe her!" The old man in the black robes of flames immediately chimed in. "Our Demonic Sect always acts with only a view to the present and the future. Why be fixated on Junior Sister Luo's past? In my opinion, she killed Liu Jingxuan and forged a blood feud with the Sword Sect. In the future, she will be more trustworthy than anyone else! If anyone is not convinced, they can go and kill one of Liu Shenhong's confidants, or simply kill Liu Shenhong to prove their loyalty."

His words were loaded with meaning!
A cold glint flashed in Ye Aoxue's eyes, but she remained silent.

"I also believe in Junior Sister Luo..."

"I second that. Junior Sister Luo's actions have already shown her true feelings..."

Several elders and peak masters who supported Luo Siqing also spoke out to express their support.

However, most supporters of the other candidates for sainthood and sainthood opposed the idea.

Luo Siqing's exceptional talent puts immense pressure on her competitors, and they naturally don't want to miss this opportunity to suppress her.

The two sides argued back and forth, each sticking to their own version of events, and the Demon Palace was instantly thrown into chaos, with the atmosphere tense and on the verge of conflict.

In the end, all eyes were once again on Tuoba Feng, awaiting his decision.

"This..." Tuoba Feng looked thoughtful, seemingly finding it difficult to make a decision.

Just then, his expression suddenly turned solemn, and he immediately stood up, respectfully clasped his hands and bowed towards a certain point in the void.

The others were taken aback at first, but then they realized what was happening.

In the Demonic Sect, the only ones who could command such respect from the sect leader, Tuoba Feng, were those high-ranking, elusive Golden Core cultivators!
No one dared to be negligent; they immediately stood up and bowed in the direction that Tuoba Feng had been paying his respects to.

However, no human figure appeared in the void.

After a while, Tuoba Feng slowly straightened up, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his voice clearly echoing throughout the hall: "Just now, True Person Youxuan transmitted his voice to me. The True Person said: Our Demonic Sect does not hold grudges over the past. Junior Sister Luo was able to personally kill Liu Jingxuan, which shows her unwavering will and her sincerity towards the Demonic Sect. From this day forward, Luo Siqing is the seed of the Holy Maiden of our Blood Fiend Demonic Sect!"
