“I originally thought that the elder was exaggerating, but I didn’t expect that our Spirit Intuition Valley actually has disciples practicing demon arts!”
In the Spirit Intuition Valley, Yun Suxin stood in front of the sect square, her pretty face filled with anger. In front of her knelt a female cultivator trembling with fear. Around them were other disciples of the Spirit Intuition Valley, all lowering their heads in silence.
The Spirit Intuition Valley forbade its disciples from forming romantic relationships or having desires for the opposite sex. If discovered, they would be severely punished. However, compared to cultivating demon arts, this punishment was like a drop in the ocean. The severity was not on the same level.
“Mercy, Sect Leader! I was just temporarily possessed by greed…”
The female cultivator dared not look into Yun Suxin’s furious eyes, only shaking all over, her face smeared with tears and snot.
If she had another chance, she would definitely avoid any contact with that Demon Cultivator.
Even if the Demon Cultivator was handsome, strong, and had an appealing voice, what good could come from it? A Demon Cultivator is still a Demon Cultivator.
She realized now, and she regretted it, but it seemed too late.
“Cultivating demon arts, this crime deserves death!” Yun Suxin waved her hand and said cruelly, “Bring out the Soul-Severing Meridian Powder!”
Soul-Severing Meridian Powder was a special poison produced in the Spirit Intuition Valley.
This poison did have an antidote, but its effects were ruthless, making it very suitable for punishing disciples who committed capital offenses.
“Hold on.” A voice sounded behind Yun Suxin.
Yun Baiyu stepped forward, her cold gaze sweeping across the scene before finally landing on the disciple. She said indifferently, “You destroy your own dantian. Considering you’ve been in the Spirit Intuition Valley for more than ten years without committing any major mistakes, you can become a servant disciple and take care of the medicinal garden.”
Upon hearing this, the female cultivator was extremely grateful, repeatedly bowing her head, “Thank you, Sect Leader, thank you, Sect Leader.”
In the current situation, being able to survive was already a blessing.
What difference did cultivation make?
Staying in the Spirit Intuition Valley, one could cultivate spiritual energy and consume spirit herbs, which was far better than wandering among mortals as a powerless human.
…
“Mom, today you made me play the bad cop again!”
At the back mountain of the Spirit Intuition Valley, Yun Suxin no longer looked like the ferocious figure she was earlier. She clung to Yun Baiyu’s arm like a koala, her lips pouted high.
Yun Baiyu smiled and stroked her daughter’s head, soothing her, “You will eventually take over the Spirit Intuition Valley, so isn’t it necessary to establish authority early?”
“No way, your Spirit Intuition Valley, you manage it yourself.” Yun Suxin huffed and turned her head, “For a thousand years, ten thousand years, you manage it yourself.”
Yun Baiyu sighed inwardly, knowing it was best not to say too much about this matter.
So she changed the topic, “Fortunately, that elder sent Su Gezhong to warn us, otherwise we would still be unaware. This demon art’s concealment technique is indeed remarkable. If we hadn’t used the Mirror of Heart Inquiry, we might not have discovered the隐患until it erupted.”
Mentioning the Sword Pavilion Ancestor usually made Yun Suxin feel不服气and argue a bit.
Today, however, she surprisingly did not contradict Yun Baiyu’s words.
With the Secret Realm of Central Continent approaching, yet there were Demon Cultivators deliberately spreading demon arts among sect disciples, their malicious intent was obvious. If it weren’t for the warning from the Sword Pavilion Ancestor, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Suxin, go inform the other sects, warn them, and let them check thoroughly,” Yun Baiyu said seriously, “Although Su Gezhong has profound cultivation, people judge by reputation, and other sects may not take his words seriously.”
“Hehe, Mother is right, who would believe the words of that bandit leader Su Qianian? It has to be our Spirit Intuition Valley!” Yun Suxin could almost imagine the attitude of those sects towards Su Qianian, couldn’t help but smile broadly, and happily went to fetch the sound transmission jade slips of various sects.
Yun Baiyu watched her daughter’s bouncing back disappear, her eyes full of tenderness and reluctance.
The chest pain and the tingling sensation in her body reminded her constantly.
Her time was running out.
…
Almost simultaneously, the Spirit Intuition Valley and Danzong announced that they had found disciples cultivating demon arts within their sects.
Once this news came out, the entire Cangyun Realm was thrown into chaos.
The sects that had previously dismissed Su Qianian’s warnings immediately began urgent inspections. After learning from Danzong that this demon art was highly concealed and easy to hide, they all purchased the newly refined Demon-Revealing Pills from Danzong and administered them to their disciples.
In no time, a large number of disciples cultivating demon arts were detected. The sect leaders were furious, sparking a wave of hunting down Demon Cultivators. Unfortunately, most of them failed to find even a trace of the Demon Cultivators.
Bluecloud Sect also purchased a batch of Demon-Revealing Pills.
Sect Leader Wu Duantian distributed the pills to the elders of each peak, requiring them to conduct self-inspections.
Qingxuan Daoist took the pills back to Chixiao Peak and handed them all to Lu Changtian, casually saying, “I don’t think our Bluecloud Sect has any disciples cultivating demon arts, especially not on our Chixiao Peak. However, since the sect leader requires it, you should take the pills under Lu Changtian’s supervision and conduct a check.”
“Lu Changtian, this task is entrusted to you.” Qingxuan Daoist left after speaking, leaving everything to Lu Changtian.
Just as Lu Changtian was about to distribute the pills, Mu Baishuang stepped forward, laughing and snatching the pills from his hands.
“Hey, Junior Sister, you…”
“Senior Brother, I’ve heard that Danzong’s pills are unmatched in the Cangyun Realm. As long as the sacred lands and abysses remain silent, Danzong’s pills are the best in the world. I’m just curious and want to take a look. Why are you so angry?” Mu Baishuang held the pills, her little mouth pouting, revealing a hint of委屈in her eyes.
The other three disciples of Chixiao Peak saw this and immediately became dissatisfied.
“Big Brother, just let Junior Sister take a look, it won’t delay anything.”
“That’s right, Big Brother, even if Junior Sister throws these pills away, Xiao Yifeng can immediately refine a better batch!”
“Big Brother, Junior Sister is always so attached to you, you shouldn’t be so mean…”
After a round of verbal criticism, Lu Changtian was speechless.
Fortunately, Mu Baishuang returned the pills after studying them for a while.
“You stinky big brother, stingy ghost, here you go!” She rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and pouted, “I think these Demon-Revealing Pills are just average, they can’t compare to Second Brother’s pill dao~”
Xiao Yifeng felt relieved upon hearing this and quickly praised Mu Baishuang for her discerning eye.
Following Qingxuan Daoist’s requirements, Lu Changtian distributed the pills to everyone, pondering how to please Mu Baishuang, and did not notice that the Demon-Revealing Pills in his hand had been switched.
An hour later.
Bluecloud Sect urgently convened a sect meeting.
Three disciples cultivating demon arts were discovered, and after failing to obtain any information about the Demon Cultivators, they were executed on the spot.
Throughout the entire sect meeting, Qingxuan Daoist sat with his eyes closed, looking completely detached.
There was no other reason.
Chixiao Peak remained pure, with not a single disciple cultivating demon arts, everything was normal.
…
“Junior Leader, many of our pieces have been exposed. What should we do next?”
Somewhere outside the Bluecloud Sect, near a spirit field.
Mu Baishuang gazed at the mirror in front of her, her expression serious.
The mirror reflected a blood pool, inside which sat a tall man with fiery red hair cascading like a waterfall. His features were exquisite, and even with his eyes closed, he exuded an aura of evil charm that captivated the soul.
Looking at that face, Mu Baishuang’s gaze became increasingly infatuated.
Her breathing grew faster, and her hand unconsciously slid down her thigh.
After a long moment, the man in the blood pool suddenly opened his eyes, demonic energy surging, overwhelming pressure radiating around him. His fiery red hair danced wildly behind him, and the blood water swirled around him with his breath. A flash of fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he coldly laughed, “Hmph! Let’s see who dares to ruin the affairs of my Heavenly Demon Sect!”
Having spoken, he raised his eyes to the sky.
His crimson pupils emitted a streak of scarlet light piercing through the heavens, beginning to divine the heavenly destiny.
