Chapter 381: It is the Ten Thousand Demon Sect

“Master.”

In the courtyard of Holy Master Peak, Jiang Qingshang bowed with her sword to her Master.

She had originally thought that if her Master were to emerge from seclusion, it would take at least another half a year.

She didn’t expect her Master to emerge now.

“I heard you’ve accepted that Lin Pei into your Saintess Peak?”

Jiang Yuerou slowly opened her eyes and looked at her Disciple, her expression carrying a hint of helplessness.

Jiang Yuerou had thought Qingshang would at most place Lin Pei in the outer Sect or some idle department or peak.

But she didn’t expect her to place him directly in her Saintess Peak.

Even now, after coming out of seclusion…

She could still hear the discussions of the Holy Land’s Disciples.

“Yes.”

Jiang Qingshang did not hide it at all.

“Husband and Yaya have also become Master’s Disciples.”

“…”

Jiang Yuerou shook her head.

However, it wasn’t because she was dissatisfied with Jiang Qingshang taking Disciples on her behalf without permission.

Because by now, Qingshang had long possessed the Aptitude to accept Disciples on her Master’s behalf.

“Putting aside that little Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox girl from the Demon Race World for now.

But Qingshang, when a person with ordinary talent suddenly reaches such a high position without sufficient strength and talent to match…

In the future, when he compares himself to other Disciples and sees those with lower status and fewer resources than him surpassing him one by one…

Will his Dao Heart really not have problems?

You should know about the matter of Shen Xiao, right?”

“Master, Husband is not a person like Shen Xiao!”

After returning to Zilin Holy Land, the various Sects gradually learned about what happened in the Rootless Secret Realm.

Especially the Flying Sword letters sent by the Fuchen Holy Lord to the eight great Holy Lands of the Eight Continents, which were even more shocking.

The letters recounted the report of the Fuchen Saintess, Mo Wenwen, to her Sect.

It was mainly about Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao, who had mediocre talent, was unwilling to fall behind others and eventually obtained a ring. He was seduced by a Blood Demon and took the lives of innocent Cultivators, not even sparing his fellow Disciples.

While attempting to assault Mo Wenwen in the Rootless Secret Realm, he was killed by Mo Wenwen and Lin Xun, who was disguised as an ordinary Disciple.

“On the path of the Great Dao, who can say for sure what kind of person someone is?”

Jiang Yuerou looked calmly at her Disciple.

“The path to immortality is long; even I don’t know what I will become in the future.

Perhaps one day, I might sacrifice you for certain matters, or fight with you for something.

And we, Master and Disciple, would end up in a life-and-death struggle.”

“That won’t happen.”

Jiang Qingshang shook her head.

“Qinger believes that Master would not do that, and Husband will not become that kind of person either.”

“You… oh well…”

Jiang Yuerou smiled and shook her head.

“What I said just now was just a reflection.

I called you here mainly for something else; take a look at this letter.”

Jiang Yuerou flicked a letter out from her Storage Pouch.

Jiang Qingshang opened the envelope, and as she read its contents, the light in the young girl’s beautiful eyes gradually intensified.

By the time Jiang Qingshang read the last word, the letter in her hand had turned into blood-red flames and dissipated in her palm.

“Blood Demon?” Jiang Qingshang narrowed her clear eyes, and a cold Sword Qi quietly spread out.

“Correct.”

Jiang Yuerou nodded.

“The Fuchen Holy Lord’s life force was already nearing its end. After that battle in the Rootless Secret Realm, Shen Li’s cultivation was crippled by Lin Xun.

After returning to the Holy Land and passing the position of Holy Lord to Immortal Master Xuanyue, he passed away.

Shen Li told Xuanyue about the Blood Demon matter of the Fuchen Holy Land.

It seemed like Shen Xiao found that ring by chance, but in reality, the ring found him.

Beneath the Fuchen Holy Land, something that the whole world finds terrifying is suppressed.

That kind of thing only exists in legends.

And the so-called Blood Demon is just one of its branches.

Now, the Seal at the Fuchen Holy Land has already weakened.

The Holy Lords of our Nine Continents’ Holy Lands must go to reinforce that Seal.

This is a secret passed down to every Holy Lord; when a Holy Lord is about to pass on their position, they will tell their successor.

But this time, I didn’t expect the Seal to collapse so quickly.

Most unfortunately, because the Holy Lords of other continents’ Holy Lands suffered significant injuries and have not yet fully recovered…

To ensure nothing goes wrong with the Seal, the Saints and Saintesses of the Holy Lands from all continents must go to assist in the sealing together.

Your strength, Qingshang, is even more indispensable!

It’s also just as well; this time, we will go and see the entire sealing process. In the future, perhaps you will reinforce the Seal in my place.

I know that soon, Sikong Wangxing of Tianji City will hold her Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

But Qingshang, I’m afraid you’ll have to break your promise this time.”

Jiang Qingshang shook her head: “Since Qingshang is the Saintess of Zilin Holy Land, this is my duty and responsibility. Wang Xing will surely understand.”

In Jiang Qingshang’s plan, she had actually wanted to take her husband and Yaya to Tianji City for a trip.

And then attend her best friend’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Even, depending on the situation, when her husband asked, ‘Senior Sister, where did Qinger go?’

She would say: ‘Isn’t Qinger right in front of you?’

Revealing her identity to her husband and giving him a huge surprise.

But now, the plan could only be temporarily abandoned.

Otherwise, if something were to happen because she didn’t go, causing the Seal to fail and affecting the world…

Then, it would be even more impossible for her to be with her husband peacefully in the future.

“Master, regarding Wang Xing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony, I want Husband to take Yaya to attend.”

Jiang Qingshang requested.

Even if she couldn’t go, if her husband went, it would count as representing her.

“Mhm, no problem.” Jiang Yuerou nodded. “Go and arrange all of this.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Yuerou smiled: “Qingshang, you should have something else you want to ask, right?”

Jiang Qingshang thought for a moment and bowed with her sword:

“Since the Fuchen Holy Land suppresses a Blood Demon, then I want to ask if the other Holy Lands also suppress similar entities.”

“There are… but with the exception of our Zilin Holy Land.”

Jiang Yuerou did not hide anything.

“Eh?” Jiang Qingshang tilted her head. “I don’t understand.”

“Qingshang, do you know why the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is called the number one demon Sect in the Nine Continents?

And why for tens of thousands of years, all the demon Sects in the Nine Continents have undergone various reshuffles…

Yet only the Ten Thousand Demon Sect has always held the position of the world’s number one demon Sect, standing tall no matter how it declined?

And why do our Nine Great Holy Lands turn a blind eye to it?

That is because, in the Qianye Continent, the Sect guarding the entrance to the Netherworld is not our Zilin Holy Land.

But the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.”
