How did a demonic witch become the leader of the righteous path?

Chapter 85 Yu Zhao: Why do I keep running into demonic cultivators wherever I go? (4,000-word chapter)

Little Fatty Wang Jiuxiao is definitely a know-it-all of the Dragon Tiger Holy Land. Yu Zhao managed to extract a lot of information about the Dragon Tiger Holy Land from him.

For example, which peaks are at odds with each other, and their disciples will fight when they meet; or who in the sect has grudges or feuds with whom.

These messages may seem useless, but at least they made Yu Zhao understand what the situation was like inside the Dragon Tiger Holy Land.

The Dragon Tiger Holy Land is a very large sect, and naturally there are many factions. Although everyone in the sect appears to be very restrained and no one would kill each other for their grudges.

It seems like healthy competition, but anyone who actually believes this argument will die without even knowing how.

Yu Zhao knew very well that this was just a show of restraint; if they left the sect, he would beat them to a pulp.

Therefore, it is necessary to know about these grudges and feuds, at least to be prepared.

Fortunately, Yuzhu Peak has a good relationship with all the other peaks and has no grudges against any of them.

This makes sense, since the people of Jade Bamboo Peak never show their faces unless they are engrossed in cultivating immortality, so they naturally cannot get involved in karma with anyone.

Alternatively, they might be determined to roam the world with their swords. In other words, if the people of Jade Bamboo Peak offend someone, it's someone outside the sect. They don't bother with internal power struggles within the sect.

The disciples of each peak naturally wouldn't idly offend a group of sword cultivators. As everyone knows, sword cultivators are poor and most of them are stubborn. Offending them would not only bring no benefit but also cause trouble.

All the conflicts in the world ultimately come down to two words: interests.

Yuzhu Peak will not infringe upon the interests of other peaks, and therefore other peaks will not bother to offend Yuzhu Peak for no reason.

Upon learning this, Yu Zhao was very glad that he and Little Green Tea had been named disciples of Jade Bamboo Peak. This peak was truly wonderful; it was the place where cultivators should go.

At the same time, Yu Zhao secretly resolved that when the disciple-acceptance ceremony began, she would find a way to stay on Jade Bamboo Peak no matter what.

As for the peak where the sect leader's lineage is located, it seems to have a superior status, but it is inevitably involved in more struggles, and Yu Zhao is well aware that his identity is unusual.

She is nominally a closed-door disciple of the Lingxiao Celestial Master. If she were to join the sect leader's lineage after her true identity is revealed, many people would probably lose sleep over it.

How can the current Celestial Master position be justified? What do those disciples who covet the Celestial Master's title and their supporting forces think?

Thinking of this, Yu Zhao couldn't help but think to himself, "So-called immortal sects are nothing more than this, no different from mortal forces. They are all just vying for fame and fortune, only the things they are vying for are different."

Mortals seek wealth and power, while immortals seek even more: longevity and cultivation resources—thinking about it this way, cultivators are far more greedy than mortals.

Yu Zhao had seen through it all. There was no true righteous path in this world. Even the leading righteous sects like the Dragon Tiger Holy Land were rife with open and covert struggles. You can forget about other places.

The difference between righteous forces and demonic forces is simply that righteous forces care about their reputation, have a bottom line in their actions, and insist on having a legitimate reason for their actions.

At least there are rules.

The demonic forces are truly unscrupulous; killing and robbing are commonplace, and they can even refine corpses into pills and magical artifacts after killing people.

I just don't know what kind of forces the demonic path are.

Yu Zhao was multitasking, secretly lost in thought while strolling through the streets with Shen Yunshu and the chubby Wang Jiuxiao.

The chubby boy kept talking nonstop, but suddenly he stopped, which caught Yu Zhao's attention.

Yu Zhao saw that the other person's face suddenly darkened, so he followed the other person's gaze and saw four people walking towards him, both men and women.

The chubby boy's expression immediately turned sour upon seeing these four people.

Upon seeing this, Yu Zhao immediately understood that they had encountered hostile forces.

"Junior sisters, let's go over there."

As he spoke, the chubby boy tried to lead Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu away, which surprised Yu Zhao. Based on her observation of the chubby boy, he didn't seem like the type to back down.

However, she still obediently followed along.

The chubby guy mainly didn't want his grudges to involve his two newly acquainted junior sisters, so he thought he should temporarily avoid conflict.

But while he wanted to back down, the other party was unwilling to.

The four men's eyes lit up the moment they saw the chubby boy, and they quickly came over. The leader had an arrogant look in his eyes and brows. In Yu Zhao's words, he had a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks and didn't look like a good person at all.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Wang? Why did he turn around and leave as soon as he saw us?"

He blocked the way for Yu Zhao and the other two, greeted the chubby boy in a sarcastic tone, and then brazenly looked Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu up and down.

Yu Zhao: "————"

You're lucky you're in a sect, otherwise, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you dared to look me up like that, I'd gouge your eyes out.

The chubby boy didn't give this person a friendly look either. He instinctively stood in front of Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu, blocking the man's view with his body, and said coldly, "Not bowing to a true disciple, is this how Li Xuange taught you?"

To be honest, when the chubby boy got angry, he actually became quite imposing. His aura exploded, forcing the four people opposite him to reluctantly bow and say, "Greetings, Senior Brother Wang."

"snort."

After letting out a cold snort, the chubby boy withdrew his oppressive aura and was about to leave when the weasel-faced cultivator blocked his path again. "Senior brother, don't be in such a hurry to leave. We've finally run into each other, how about we get to know each other a bit?"

"By the way, who are those two beauties behind you, Senior Brother? Won't you introduce them?"

Faced with the other party's seemingly indifferent attitude, the chubby boy frowned slightly. He knew that the other party dared to provoke him like this because of that annoying guy Li Xuange in the shadows.

He ignored the guy and said loudly, "Since Senior Brother Li is here, why hide yourself?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Just as the chubby boy finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the horizon. The laughter was exceptionally hearty, heard before the person was seen.

Amidst laughter, a figure appeared in front of the chubby boy. Yu Zhao peeked out from behind the chubby boy, wanting to see what kind of person he was.

The other person was dressed in white, with a handsome face, and gently waving a folding fan in his hand, looking every bit the elegant young gentleman.

He gave Yu Zhao a slight smile, a smile that was incredibly greasy.

For some reason, I felt particularly disgusted by Li Xuange and wanted to kill him.

She looked away, afraid that if she looked any longer she would lose control and take action.

But to Li Xuange, her appearance was just a shy little beauty, so he became even more audacious and winked his left eye at Yu Zhao.

Yu Zhao:

I really want to gouge this guy's eyes out.

After teasing the pretty girl for a while, Li Xuange turned his gaze to the chubby Wang Jiuxiao. He snapped his folding fan shut with a clasp, flipped his wrist, and bowed to Wang Jiuxiao with a fist salute. "Junior Brother Wang, it's been a long time since I last saw you. You've certainly had your share of good fortune with the ladies. I wonder what Junior Sister Hanqiu thinks of you traveling with two beauties?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu's eyes lit up; they felt they were about to get some juicy gossip.

The chubby boy, however, was not so carefree. His face turned ashen, and he said sternly, "Senior Brother Li, stop talking nonsense. My two junior sisters and I are completely innocent. It's just that they are new to the sect and don't know much about it. As their senior brother, I'm just showing them around the sect."

Although the chubby boy liked Shen Yunshu, he disdained to ruin Shen Yunshu's reputation, not to mention that Yu Zhao was also involved.

Therefore, he responded to Li Xuange very seriously, without lowering his voice, and everyone around him heard what he said.

"Oh? The disciple-acceptance ceremony hasn't been held yet. How come you two beauties are new to the sect?"

Junior Brother Wang, you still need to keep your eyes open and not mistake some traitor for a fellow disciple.

Li Xuange remained sarcastic, and the chubby boy looked at him as if he were an idiot. "With the Sky-Gazing Mirror here, how could any spy infiltrate?"

"Senior brother, have you lost your mind from sleeping with women?"

The reason why the chubby boy disliked Li Xuange was not only because of the grudge between Taihua Peak and Jiulong Peak, but also because he disapproved of Li Xuange's cultivation method.

This person cultivates a dual cultivation technique and has countless dual cultivation partners. Although it is a matter of mutual consent, the little fat man stubbornly believes that this kind of cultivation method is not a righteous cultivation method.

Over time, he and Li Xuange became irreconcilable enemies.

The feud between the two was already common knowledge in the Dragon Tiger Holy Land.

The elders don't care at all, as long as no one dies.

In fact, the elders believed that such competition among true disciples was more beneficial to their cultivation path.

The chubby boy's words did not arouse any surprise in Li Xuange. He still had a smile on his face and said, "I was just joking. I'm sure my two junior sisters won't mind."

Why are you two junior sisters hiding behind Senior Brother Wang? We cultivators can't be so shy.

Since that's what they said, Yu Zhao naturally couldn't just watch the show anymore. She stepped out from behind the chubby boy, clasped her hands in greeting, and said, "I am Yu Zhao, a disciple of Jade Bamboo Peak. This is my junior sister, Shen Yunshu. Greetings, Senior Brother Li."

"Yu Zhao? So you're the daughter that Master Chixia recently found. Hello, Junior Sister Yu. My name is Li Xuange. Our families have been friends for generations. If you don't mind, you can call me brother."

Do you know me?

Yu Zhao was surprised that the other party knew her, and from what he said, it seemed that the other party's elders knew her mother, the Crimson Cloud Immortal.

My cheap mother knows this lecherous man's elders?

"It seems that Junior Sister Yu does not know that my surname is Li, and my great-aunt is the Falling Moon Immortal Li Jiyue. She mentioned you to me, and you have cultivated in her Falling Moon Sect."

I never imagined that you were the long-lost daughter of the Crimson Cloud Immortal, and that your mother and my great-aunt were close friends.

"Junior Sister Yu, don't you think we're destined to meet?"

Upon hearing Li Xuange's words, Yu Zhao's face lit up with a bright smile: "I see, then it really is fate."

Seeing her smile, the chubby boy's heart skipped a beat. He was worried that his junior sister Yu had been deceived by this beast.

Meanwhile, Shen Yunshu, who was watching the show, silently offered incense to this guy in her heart.

She knew her sister well, and knew that the kinder her sister appeared on the surface, the stronger her murderous intent was in her heart.

It's no exaggeration to say that Li Xuange is doomed; no one can protect him.

The moment he revealed his past, he was doomed.

Shen Yunshu knew very well how suspicious her sister was. Since Li Xuange was related to Luoyue Zhenren, he even came close to her sister.

Given her sister's extreme paranoia, she would definitely think this was a setup.

To be honest, Shen Yunshu was the one who understood Yu Zhao best. Shen Yunshu was right; Yu Zhao did indeed have murderous intent.

She hadn't expected that Li Xuange was related to Luoyue Zhenren. Before ascending the Heavenly Ladder at Luoyue Sect, Yu Zhao had met Luoyue Zhenren, who introduced himself as Li Jiyue.

Therefore, Li Xuange must be related to Luoyue Zhenren; he wasn't lying.

The fact that Luo Yue Zhenren is suspected of having an ambiguous relationship with the leader of the demonic sect, Ziji Shengzong, and that her grand-nephew has now appeared in the Dragon Tiger Holy Land and even approached her, made Yu Zhao's first reaction that she had been set up.

She wouldn't believe it was a coincidence no matter what.

What Yu Zhao couldn't understand was, didn't the Dragon Tiger Holy Land know about Luo Yue Zhenren's messy affairs? If they did know, how could they allow her relative to have such a high status in the Dragon Tiger Holy Land?

If he didn't know—that's impossible. If the leader of the righteous path didn't even know this, then he wouldn't deserve to be the leader of the righteous path.

This was actually a misunderstanding on Yu Zhao's part. The Dragon Tiger Holy Land was truly unaware of the situation of True Person Luo Yue. They only knew that Luo Yue Sect had been slandered as a demonic sect by the Purple Extreme Holy Sect and the Sword Pavilion.

That's right, it's slander. In the eyes of the Dragon Tiger Holy Land, apart from themselves, who can determine which sects are demonic sects, everything else is slander.

The Dragon Tiger Holy Land speculated that this matter was a shady affair between the Sword Pavilion and the Purple Extreme Holy Sect, and that the Falling Moon Sect had become a victim of the struggle between the two major sects.

Therefore, they didn't pay much attention to it. In addition, because of the relationship with True Man Chixia, the Dragon Tiger Holy Land even favored Li Xuange.

Of course, Li Xuange himself also deserves credit. Although his cultivation method is quite controversial, his talent is undeniable.

With the potential to become the master of a peak, there is no reason why the Dragon and Tiger Holy Land should not nurture him.

Of course, Yu Zhao was unaware of all this; she only felt that there was something wrong with the situation.

So it seems that Shangyu Zhao and Li Xuange are very close, but in reality, Shangyu Zhao has already figured out how to get rid of this guy.

"Junior Sister Yu, why don't you come with me to Nine Dragons Peak for a stroll? There's not much to see in the outer sect at the foot of the mountain."

Li Xuange extended a warm invitation, his heart burning with desire. He felt that Yu Zhao was truly exceptional, and it would be wonderful if they could cultivate together.

However, this matter cannot be rushed. After all, Yu Zhao is the daughter of True Man Chixia. If you want to cultivate with her, you can no longer use the old methods. Otherwise, if you anger True Man Chixia, no one can protect him.

Li Xuange was patient; he believed that one day he would win Yu Zhao's heart.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but we've been out for a long time and it's time to return to Jade Bamboo Peak."

Yu Zhao politely declined. Hearing her refusal, the chubby boy breathed a sigh of relief, while Li Xuange didn't press the matter. He smiled and said they could meet again next time before leaving.

After he left, Yu Zhao and Shen Yunshu said goodbye to the chubby boy and flew towards Jade Bamboo Peak.

On the way, Yu Zhao asked Shen Yunshu, "Little sister, how confident are you?"

"Don't worry, sister, it's perfect."

The two women's words were so cryptic that no one else could understand them.

Yu Zhao asked Shen Yunshu what the chances were of successfully using demonic magic to kill Li Xuange without anyone noticing.

Shen Yunshu said that the other party was doomed.

She knew the other person's name, and had just secretly obtained his hair. With these two things, she could easily ruin him.

He's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. No matter how powerful he is, he's still only at the Foundation Establishment stage. With the machinations of the demonic genius demoness, who is also at the Foundation Establishment stage, Li Xuange is doomed.

Relieved to receive an accurate answer, Yu Zhao had taken matters into her own hands. If it weren't for the fact that her strange cheat had purified all her spells and prevented her from practicing demonic magic, Yu Zhao would have done it herself.

Luckily, there's this green tea bitch who can help her with these dirty things.
