They all became female demons after being reborn.

Chapter 106 I never imagined I was actually the young master of the Demonic Sect?

Wu Chengquan entrusted the aftermath of the Iron Buddha Temple's affairs to An Jingru and his sister An Xinzizai, which could be considered as accumulating some credit for them.

Wu Cheng and his group did not stay at Tiefo Temple for long. After the temple bell rang, An Jingru sent his sister with the Demon Suppression Guard token to the city to find Sun Kewang and the others. Then he gathered the villagers and went up to Tiefo Temple.

With the Demon Suppression Guards taking the lead, the people who had previously dared not speak out naturally followed suit.

At the foot of the mountain, Wu Cheng and his companions watched from afar as An Jingru loudly proclaimed the crimes of the Iron Buddha Temple. They watched the rescued children being tightly embraced by their parents, watched the white-haired old woman kneeling in the mud and kowtowing to the mountain gate until her forehead was covered in blood, and watched the enraged villagers beat all the wicked monks to death.

Watching the joys and sorrows of the people, Wu Cheng inexplicably felt the seed of true qi in his dantian suddenly accelerate its rotation, and the true qi of the "Heavenly Dao Scroll" in his body suddenly surged.

Qingque stood beside Wu Cheng and said softly, "Your Highness, it's time to go."

Wu Cheng withdrew his gaze, turned around, took the reins handed to him by Qingque, and mounted his horse.

Shen Yeshu and Feiyuan were already waiting by the roadside, while Shen Tulie followed behind in a mule cart carrying several children who had nowhere to go. They would be traveling east with the disciples of the Extinction of Emotions Sect to settle down in Jiangling City.

A few days later, the group continued their journey along the official road. Wu Cheng looked up at the sun, then turned to ask, "At this rate, we should arrive in Lin'an by tomorrow, right?"

Qingque nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."

Wu Cheng laughed and said, "Then we need to deal with our horses in advance, otherwise it won't be good if they are mistaken for tigers again after we enter the city."

This trip back to Lin'an is different from the last one; this time, I want to keep a low profile!

Shen Yeshu smiled and said, "Everything has been arranged."

Wu Cheng asked curiously, "By the way, Miss Shen, what is the name of that senior from the Demonic Sect in Lin'an City? I'll ask around later."

Shen Yeshu rode on horseback, the light veil of her veil fluttering slightly in the wind.

She glanced at Wu Cheng and replied, "Uncle Chen Qingyan."

Chen Qingyan...

'

Wu Cheng silently repeated the name in his mind several times.

He felt like he'd heard the name somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.

He mentally went through all the female officials, concubines, and noblewomen he had seen or heard of in Lin'an over the past sixteen years, but none of them matched up.

That's not surprising. Leaving aside the fact that he'd been in a daze for the past sixteen years and could only remember a few people, even the members of the Demonic Sect...

Having hidden in the palace for many years, one would naturally have methods to conceal one's identity.

"The name sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it before," Wu Cheng said. "When we get back to Lin'an, I'll try to find someone to ask around."

Shen Yeshu nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Two days later, in Lin'an City.

This was a secret infiltration, so Wu Cheng naturally couldn't return to the palace, nor could he go to crowded places like restaurants, let alone the Demon Suppression Guard's office.

He remembered that Shen Tu Lie had mentioned having businesses in Lin'an last time, so this time the group hid in an inconspicuous courtyard of Shen Tu Lie's Fushengtang in the south of the city.

That very night, after settling in, Wu Cheng wrote a letter.

The letter was short and the wording was polite and distant. The gist of it was that he admired Commander Sima's demeanor and had important matters to discuss with him, hoping that he could spare some time to meet with him.

Finally, he added, "You wouldn't want your father's secrets to be exposed, would you?"

He then sealed the rubbings of Yuan Hao's register containing the accounts of Sima Xun's bribes and children, along with the letter, into an envelope and handed it to Shen Yeshu, asking her to arrange for the agents of the Extinction Path to deliver the letter to the Demon Suppression Guard.

Shen Yeshu accepted the letter as instructed and casually inquired, "Does the young master know the Commander of the Demon Suppression Guard?"

"I don't know her," Wu Cheng said calmly, "but she had no choice but to come."

Shen Yeshu didn't ask any more questions, but instead ordered someone to send a message.

However, when she returned, she found Fei Yuan standing next to Wu Cheng, staring intently at him, her small face behind the mask almost touching his.

Wu Cheng was stiff and awkward, neither sitting nor standing, while Qing Que stood aside glaring at Fei Yuan.

Shen Yeshu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Wu Cheng immediately pleaded for help, "Miss Shen, could you please pull Master Fei away?"

The crimson iris kept staring at him, and it was getting closer and closer. If this continued, wouldn't it be about to sit on him?

Does that mean I'll have to get into his bed tomorrow?

They act like this just because they're powerful and influential. If the genders were reversed, there would be over 10,000 comments!

Shen Yeshu was also helpless. She walked over and tried to pull Fei Yuan away, "Master, please don't do this."

Fei Yuan blinked her crimson eyes. "But Wu Cheng smells so good."

Shen Yeshu tried to tug at her for a long time but couldn't budge her. She couldn't help but sigh, "Master, where exactly does the young master smell so good?"

Although he did have a faint fragrance, it wasn't emanating from his body!

Fei Yuan then blinked, "Your cultivation level isn't high enough to sense it."

She pointed at Wu Cheng, "His cultivation technique is restrained, highly nourishing, and incredibly alluring; he is naturally perceptible."

"Oh?" Shen Yeshu raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked Wu Cheng up and down.

Is that so?

How come she didn't know this before she was reborn?

Oh, right. She wasn't by his side when she broke through to the Innate Realm before her rebirth, and when she arrived, all she saw was Wu Cheng's grave.

Seeing that Shen Yeshu's gaze was a little strange, Wu Cheng subconsciously swallowed. "Miss Shen, what does Master Fei mean by that? Could you translate it for me?"

Shen Yeshu smiled and explained, "Master said that your cultivation technique is somewhat restraining to us disciples of the Demonic Sect, and it is also very tempting. If we cultivate by your side, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Of course, the stronger the power, the stronger the temptation. I haven't reached the Innate Realm yet, so I can't sense it."

"Huh? Is that so?" Wu Cheng was startled, then suddenly remembered something!

Last time at the Wentian Sect, my cheap master, Gong Yuqing, also enjoyed various pleasurable massages from me.

Despite the difference in their social status, the cheap master looked like he was about to fall asleep comfortably, and didn't even stop him.

Could this be true?

It's not just a special attack against the Demonic Sect, but also a special attack against the techniques of the Asking Heaven Sect?

That's not surprising at all!

No wonder his Heavenly Dao Scroll True Qi directly assimilated the Great Void Returning to Origin Technique!

Shen Yeshu was also somewhat curious. "Young master, would you mind sparring with me?"

Wu Cheng's spirits lifted. "Great!"

Perfect timing! He also wanted to see where the difference lay between himself and Shen Yeshu and his senior sister, who were at the half-step innate level.

The two stood in the courtyard. Shen Yeshu stood with his hands behind his back. "Young Master, please make your move."

Wu Cheng tilted his head. "Are you sure you want me to make the first move?"

"Yes, if I were to make the first move, we probably wouldn't get an answer either," Shen Yeshu said with a smile.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Wu Cheng stood with his legs slightly apart and his fingers pointed like swords, golden sword energy spinning rapidly on his fingers, cutting through the air.

But Wu Cheng stood there for a long time and did not make the first move.

In the past, he could usually spot the weaknesses of his opponents with just a glance.

Shen Yeshu stood with her hands behind her back, seemingly full of flaws, but in Wu Cheng's eyes she was perfectly integrated with her surroundings, as if she were a natural being. Not to mention flaws, there wasn't even the slightest opening.

But his swordplay emphasizes killing with one move, so how can we fight him?

There's no other way but to try that method.

The idea is to start fighting first, and as the fight goes on, the opponent will eventually reveal a weakness, allowing you to seize the opportunity to unleash a powerful attack and defeat them!

This was the method he used the first time he faced Yuan Hao.

"Miss Shen, listen up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Cheng stepped into the Cloud Step and instantly appeared beside Shen Yeshu, pointing his finger at her shoulder!

With a smile on her face, Shen Yeshu simply raised her hand and blocked the golden sword finger.

The rapidly spinning sword energy on the sword finger collided with Shen Yeshu's protective true energy, producing a piercing noise!

Shen Yeshu's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand and stepped aside to let Wu Cheng pass.

Then she raised her hand and looked at her palm, only to see a faint white mark on her soft palm.

Shen Yeshu looked at Wu Cheng with some surprise, "Young Master, when did you learn the 'Ethereal Formless Sword Technique' of the Wentian Sect?"

"The Ethereal Sword Technique?" Wu Cheng asked blankly.

Oh no! I didn't expect her to recognize the sword techniques of the Sword Pavilion of the Asking Heaven Sect!

"Indeed, this technique of making sword energy adhere to the blade and rotate at high speed is indeed the sword technique of the Wentian Sect."

Before his rebirth, Shen Yeshu fought to the death with the sword fairy Bai Suyi more than ten times, and in the end they perished together.

She was extremely familiar with the "Ethereal Sword Technique" of the Wentian Sect.

Wu Cheng scratched his face. "I don't know about that. This is a technique I developed myself for using sword energy. Could it be the same as the swordsmanship of the Wentian Sect?"

That's absolutely right. Although it is indeed the same as the power exertion technique of the "Ethereal Sword Technique", it was really something he comprehended after staying up all night on the cliff behind the Wentian Sect.

"I see." Shen Yeshu said with great emotion, "Now I understand why the White Fairy of the Wentian Sect is so obsessed with you, young master."

Indeed, one should not meet too stunning people when young.

At this moment, she could understand Bai Suying somewhat.

If you have lived in a sacred place of martial arts since childhood, you will have the strongest talent and the most resolute character. No one among your peers can compare to you, and your elders will only have praise and expectations for you.

You see no peers, only more advanced seniors, and you firmly believe that one day you will reach their level.

One day, when you were still young, your master took you out to visit friends.

Then you meet someone, a child your own age.

He just sat there in a daze or squatted down watching ants, maybe even with a runny nose.

The adults all said he was an idiot, their tone sometimes sighing, sometimes mocking, sometimes gloating, or sometimes completely indifferent.

And you listened to it all.

At this moment, because the elders want to have a talk, you walk alone towards the child of your age who has been identified as mentally challenged.

You also look down on him, thinking he's just a fool, how can he compare to you, a peerless genius?

At that moment, he looked up with a smile and called out "Hello, sister!" Then, when he used the twig in his hand to poke at the ant nest, he used a special technique that only the peerless divine skill of your sect could possess.

This skill is very difficult to master; no one of your generation has learned it, and you have only just scratched the surface. Yet, you have already earned countless praises from your elders.

And this child, who was called a fool, used skills that were more proficient and powerful than yours simply through his own experimentation.

And he even calls you "sister" with a smile! He's the only person who catches your eye, yet still calls you "sister"!

Shen Yeshu felt a surge of excitement and heat throughout his body just from imagining it.

No wonder that White Fairy was so obsessed.

No, even if it wasn't Bai Suyi, it was Shen Yeshu herself who was unknowingly drawn to him in that mountain village.

In that case, she and Bai Suyi are quite similar, no wonder they died together in the end.

"Young master, I'm about to retaliate, please be careful."

"bring it on!"

After speaking, Shen Yeshu smiled and then struck out with his palm.

Just as Wu Cheng was about to dodge this seemingly ordinary palm strike, he suddenly saw a high-speed rotating water blade appear out of thin air on Shen Yeshu's fair palm!

Wu Cheng's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed horizontally!

The water blade clashed with the sword energy and was shattered without any resistance! The water droplets splashed all over Wu Cheng's face.

Wu Cheng wiped his face and frowned slightly. "Miss Shen, there's no need to hold back. I want to see the true strength of a half-step Xiantian."

Shen Yeshu remained silent, looking down at her palms with a hint of confusion in her pale eyes.

After hearing Wu Cheng's question, she smiled and said, "Young master, although I did not use my full strength, I did not hold back either."

"Then what is this?"

"This is probably the nature of your true energy, young master."

She opened her palm, palm facing up, and then a water ball the size of an egg appeared in her palm.

"Young master, may I use my inner energy to touch this water sphere?"

Wu Cheng nodded, then channeled a little of his inner energy to his index finger and gently touched the water ball.

The water sphere disintegrated in the next instant.

Shen Yeshu shook the water off her hands, her eyes becoming even brighter.

"Young master, I think I understand."

Wu Chenglian asked, "What do you mean?"

The true qi in the "Heavenly Dao Scroll" is indeed unique, as evidenced by the fact that it assimilated the true qi of the "Tai Xu Gui Yuan Zhen Jue" while still leaving behind the seed of true qi.

But what is special about the True Qi in the "Heavenly Dao Scroll" besides being able to use the properties of other True Qi? Or what is so special about this True Qi itself?

This is something that Wu Cheng himself was unaware of.

Shen Yeshu said, "Young Master, I have not yet entered the Innate Realm, so the water sphere you saw was just a simulation created by absorbing a little bit of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with my true energy. The moment you touched it, the connection between me and that bit of spiritual energy of heaven and earth was forcibly severed."

"Under normal circumstances, that wisp of primordial energy should return to the world and not turn into a real water droplet. That is a power inherent in the primordial beings, so... do you understand, young master?"

Wu Cheng's eyes were clear, like those of a top university student who mistakes a duck for a goose. "I don't understand."

Shen Yeshu pursed her lips before continuing to explain, "Young Master's true energy completely suppresses my true energy, but it also enhances it to some extent."

After a pause, she made a guess, "The cultivation method that you practice, young master... may be... the source of all the cultivation methods of our Holy Sect."

Wu Cheng was startled.

Eek! Who would have thought that I, Wu Cheng, would actually be the young master of the Demonic Sect?

What secrets does this "Heavenly Path Scroll" manual hold?
