Starting with summoning the succubus

The Yunmu Association has fallen to its current state not only because Duanmu Yao is ruthless and unscrupulous, but also because he was somewhat "self-inflicted"—he was far too arrogant back then.

The Supreme Elder Li Shan gave the correct answer to this situation hundreds of years ago, but Yun Muzhi, this young upstart, still didn't copy it.

If you don't want to fight for power, then stay away. What's the point of repeatedly jumping around in other people's power circles? Who wouldn't think something's going on?

Anyway,

After these days of investigation, Qi Lin discovered that Yun Muzhi was actually a cheerful, lively, and mischievous person in the sect who loved to joke around, cause trouble, and show off. The key point is that he also loved to flirt with girls and then run away without taking responsibility.

In contrast, Yun Muzhi's personality is now much more reserved. Many people in the sect say that Yun Muzhi is like a different person after returning to the sect.

Or he was faking it.

Either the six years of exile at Stone Turtle Mountain did indeed change Yun Muzhi's personality.

Qi Lin leans towards the latter.

After all, experiences can indeed change a person.

But that doesn't matter.

Qi Lin didn't really care what kind of person Yun Muzhi was; he only cared about the promise between himself and Yun Muzhi.

Qi Lin's primary goal was to gain access to Tai Xuan Mountain and, without angering the ninth-rank Supreme Elder Li Shan, successfully return to the Blue Star Federation via the interdimensional teleportation array.

Therefore, if Yun Muzhi needs any help in his upcoming competition with Daozi Duanmu Yao, Qi Lin will still lend him a hand.

After all, we've already boarded the boat, so we have to keep rowing.

However, so far, Yun Muzhi doesn't seem to need Qi Lin's help in any way. Judging from his expression, although Yun Muzhi has been very busy these days, things seem to be progressing quite well. The smile and confidence on Yun Muzhi's face are getting stronger every day, and he seems to have a strong sense of victory.

Qi Lin only hoped that things would go smoothly.

……

……

After 15 days.

Catherine awoke from her slumber, shattered the eggshell with a single punch, and emerged in her eighth-tier form!

Qi Lin then helped her add points to level up.

-

Name: Catherine

[Life Level: Tier 7 → Tier 8]

Race: Succubus

From then on, both of Qi Lin's succubi reached the peak of the eighth rank!

Chapter 419 The Three-Eyed Ancient Demons Escape from Prison!

a few days later.

Baiyun Pavilion, top floor.

Qi Lin and Yun Muzhi sat around a stove, brewing tea. Golden flames burned beneath the teapot, the lid bounced, and wisps of white smoke drifted out, swirling and circling around them.

"Brother Qi, please."

Yun Muzhi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qi Lin and himself.

As for Elena and Catherine, since they didn't like the taste of the Yuanqi Realm Spirit Tea, they didn't sit with them at this time. Instead, they stood in the corner on the other side, admiring the many ink paintings collected by Yun Muzhi on the wall.

In the art and culture of the succubus race, ink painting holds a very high position.

The ink painting techniques in the Yuanqi Realm are also very advanced, so these two succubi are quite interested in the famous paintings collected by Yun Muzhi.

"Um……"

Qi Lin picked up the white jade teacup, took a small sip, turned his head, looked at the distant rolling mountains outside the window, and said softly, "Speaking of which, Daoist Yun, your Tianyuan Dao Sect seems to have become quite deserted these past two days. I see hardly anyone on the streets or in the sky. Aren't people usually flying around on their swords all the time?"

"Because in recent days, most of the elders in the sect have gone to Mount Taixuan."

Yun Muzhi took a sip of tea and explained with a smile, "With the elders away, many affairs in the sect have been temporarily put on hold, and many disciples can take a break and rest. As for my efforts to win over the elders, we have to wait until they return. That's why I have some free time today and invited Brother Qi to have some tea."

"Most of the elders have gone to Mount Taixuan?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Lin couldn't help but feel curious. "Tai Xuan Mountain, isn't that where your Supreme Elder went into seclusion? What are your Tianyuan Dao Sect elders doing there?"

"It's said they're going to recharge the great formation."

Yun Muzhi looked curious and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this either. I only know that before the Supreme Elder went into seclusion in Tai Xuan Mountain, he set up a large array in the mountain. That array is very special. It cannot be charged by materials. It can only be charged manually. That is, it requires Qi cultivators to send their own Yuan Qi to charge the array in order to maintain its operation."

Furthermore, the requirements are very high. It requires a large number of eighth-realm Qi cultivators to continuously supply Yuan Qi for three days and three nights just to barely maintain the grand formation's operation for three months. Therefore, since the Supreme Elder went into seclusion, the sect's elders have basically had to collectively go to Mount Tai Xuan to recharge every three months.

"So, your Tianyuan Dao Sect basically has no elders left now?"

Qi Lin frowned slightly and hesitated, "With all the elders gone, doesn't that mean that Daoist Duanmu Yao is now in charge of the sect? After all, your old sect leader has basically retired behind the scenes and handed over most of the sect's affairs to Duanmu Yao."

"really."

Yun Muzhi nodded slightly, picked up his teacup and took a sip. "There are probably fewer than two dozen eighth-realm elders left in the sect, and they are all at the early stage of the eighth realm. All the powerful eighth-realm elders have to go to Tai Xuan Mountain to recharge, like my master and the others."

Moreover, I heard that the Sect Master also went to Mount Tai Xuan this time.

Although the Sect Master is old and frail, and for the sake of his health, he certainly wouldn't choose to recharge, the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder have a very good relationship. Now that the Sect Master's lifespan is coming to an end, he probably wants to take this opportunity to visit his senior brother.

So, just as you said, Brother Qi, most of the elders in the sect have been absent these past few days, and the sect leader is also absent. Under these circumstances, most of the sect's affairs will be handled by Duanmu Yao alone. He is now completely in control of the sect.

That's why I've chosen to stay home these past two days, to avoid being bothered by Duanmu Yao.

At this point, Yun Muzhi shook his head helplessly.

"So, how's your plan going?" Qi Lin asked. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Progress is going fairly smoothly."

Yun Muzhi cast a spell, conjuring water to fill the teapot, and said, "Duanmu Yao has been somewhat unfair in the distribution of benefits, showing a lot of favoritism. But unfortunately, his 'relatives' are all incompetent people, so many elders have a lot of complaints about this. My arrival has made these elders want to switch sides. My main task recently has been to win over these elders. As for Brother Qi, you have already helped me a lot along the way. I won't trouble you with the trivial matters of interpersonal relationships in the sect."

"I really can't help with these social niceties," Qi Lin shrugged.

"Haha, have some tea, have some tea!"

Yun Muzhi chuckled, picked up the teapot, and poured Qi Lin another cup of tea. "Speaking of which, Brother Qi, how have you been these past few days? I've been busy winning over those elders and have forgotten to check on you. Are you enjoying your time at the Dao Sect? Have you seen all those scenic spots? Especially Crane Peak; I think the sunrise there is absolutely breathtaking. You absolutely mustn't miss it! If you have time..."

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Elena and Catherine, who were standing in the corner, changed their expressions drastically and turned around to look out the window.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

Yun Muzhi was taken aback by her strong reaction.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Lin also asked curiously.

"You felt it too?" Catherine asked Elena with a serious expression.

“Hmm!” Elena nodded emphatically, her brows furrowed.

"Owner!"

Catherine then looked at Qi Lin and said seriously, "Do you remember what we talked about before? Elena and I could vaguely sense the demonic aura of Prisoner Peak, but before that, the demonic aura we sensed was very weak, and sometimes it was even absent. But just now, the demonic aura coming from Prisoner Peak suddenly surged a thousand times, and it is still soaring!"

Are you sure?!

Upon hearing this, Qi Lin immediately stood up.

“There’s absolutely no mistake!” Catherine’s tone was resolute.

“Something must have happened there!” Elena chimed in. “Either the seal on Demon Prison Peak has broken, or some three-eyed ancient demon inside has escaped. Otherwise, the demonic aura wouldn’t have surged so much for no reason!”

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Muzhi was immediately shocked and could no longer sit still. He quickly walked to the other side of the window, pushed open the window, and looked towards the distant Prisoner Demon Peak.

Qi Lin and the other two also looked in that direction.

Beside the Demon Prisoner Peak, numerous giant black eagles circled and hovered... seemingly nothing unusual, calm and peaceful, just like usual.

"The fluctuations of primordial energy are very stable."

Yun Muzhi narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "If the seal is forcibly broken, it will inevitably cause a large amount of Yuan Qi to erupt. With the level of the sealing array of Prison Demon Peak, once the seal is forcibly broken, the resulting Yuan Qi eruption can even affect the Yuan Qi fluctuations within a radius of 10,000 miles of Tianyuan Dao Sect."

However, the surrounding primordial energy fluctuations are very stable, so it is clear that the seal on Prisoner Peak has not been forcibly broken.

But what if the seal wasn't forcibly broken, but rather cleverly cracked?

That primordial energy won't erupt!

At this point, Yun Muzhi closed his eyes and did some calculations with his fingers.

"puff!"

A moment later, Yun Muzhi's face turned deathly pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he opened his horrified eyes: "Damn it! I calculated that at least five extraterrestrial demons have escaped from prison! And they are all demons at the eighth realm!"

"boom!"

The next moment, Yun Muzhi transformed into a storm, smashing through the walls and flying directly above the White Cloud Pavilion before reverting to human form. He roared angrily towards the distant Purple Gold Peak: "Duanmu Yao! Quickly activate the sect's protective formation!! The demons of Imprisoning Demon Peak have escaped!!!"

"..."

No response?

"boom!"

The next moment, at the highest point of Purple Gold Peak, the top floor of the pavilion, which was entirely purple and gold, was lifted!
