CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 76: AVOID THE SANQING IMMORTAL SECT? I WON’T, I JUST WON’T! (2900 WORDS)_1

In the communication group, more and more Demon Cultivators started giving guidance to the Saintess of the Asura Sect.

After all, this knowledge was basically common sense in the Demonic Path, an unspoken understanding; it was hardly a secret. Even many high-level members of the Righteous Path were well aware of these matters. It was just that they were impossible to guard against. Only those muscle-brained fools from the Asura Sect were completely clueless.

Demon Cultivator Eleven: I also have a friend who resides in seclusion within the territory governed by the Great Vajra Temple. He introduced a special plant from the Western Regions that is very easy to cultivate.

Demon Cultivator Eleven: When ground into powder, this plant provides extreme pleasure to mortals, creating an irresistible addiction.

Demon Cultivator Eleven: He has taken control of mortal gangs, distributing this powder to the common folk. Not only does he extort a vast amount of wealth from them, but he also leads them to financial ruin.

Demon Cultivator Eleven: For those who face financial ruin, the talented ones are led onto the Demonic Path, while the less gifted have their blood, bones, and souls separated.

Demon Cultivator Eleven: Selling the parts to sects like the White Bone Sect, Ming Blood Sect, Profound Nether Sect, or Ghost King Sect can also earn a tidy sum of Spirit Stones. It’s like killing several birds with one stone.

Demon Cultivator Eleven: Heh heh heh...

...

Demon Cultivator Thirteen: I also have a friend who lives in seclusion within the territory of the Great Vajra Temple.

Demon Cultivator Thirteen: She’s a peerless talent from the Evil Melody Sect, able to bewitch people’s hearts with her voice. She’s best at using persuasive speech to hypnotize young, unmarried girls.

Demon Cultivator Thirteen: Things like, "A man who is unwilling to spend money on you definitely doesn’t love you," and "Pity a man, and you’ll have a lifetime of bad luck."

Demon Cultivator Thirteen: Or even, "Putting the facts aside, isn’t your husband also at fault?"

Demon Cultivator Thirteen: First, you scam these foolish women blind, then sell them rouge, powders, clothes, and jewelry that cost a few copper coins for hundreds of times the price.

Demon Cultivator Thirteen: Once they are estranged from their husbands and cast aside, you brainwash them with the idea that, "In the end, you had to shoulder everything alone."

Demon Cultivator Thirteen: Over time, those women will become absolutely twisted. The talented ones will turn into demons in minutes, and the ones with poor aptitude can be introduced to the Hehuan Sect to make money.

Demon Cultivator Thirteen: Heh heh heh...

...

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: There’s more.

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: If the Saintess wants to develop and expand the Asura Sect, recruiting is one aspect, but maintaining good relationships with the Righteous Sects is also essential.

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: I have a friend who is also living in seclusion in the Great Vajra Temple’s jurisdiction.

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: He poses as a wealthy landlord and has established long-term cooperation with the outer Managing Disciples of the Great Vajra Temple, occasionally creating a few Malicious Ghosts to harass the common people.

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: Then, under the guise of the landlord, he calls for donations from all the city’s inhabitants to perform an exorcism ritual.

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: Working in concert with the monks of the Great Vajra Temple, they vanquish those Malicious Ghosts during the ceremony.

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: Thus, the landlord’s money is returned in full, while the people’s money is split thirty-seventy.

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: Although seventy percent goes to them, by tapping into official channels, you’ve secured a steady stream of future income. Why worry about not making money?

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: My friend even gets advance notice when the Great Vajra Temple is planning a sweep of the Demonic Path.

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: After all, in our line of work, safety comes first!

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: A round of applause if you understand!

Demon Cultivator Seventeen: Heh heh heh...

...

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: Mortals can also be exploited, not just the Immortal Sects.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: I also have a friend who has secluded himself within the jurisdiction of the Great Vajra Temple.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: He can refine Longevity Pills using human Essence Blood and Spirit. These elixirs can help mortals extend their lifespans.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: The wealthy fear death more than anything. As long as you control them with Holy Spirit Pills, you won’t have to worry about them refusing to hand over their money.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: Some will even volunteer to kill for you, to help you collect blood and souls.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: Also, the thing wealthy families desire most is for their children to be accepted into an Immortal Sect, so they dream of enhancing their children’s Spiritual Roots.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: My friend falsely claims he can refine "Root Bone Pills" with a secret method. After their children consume them, their Spiritual Roots will be enhanced.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: In reality, there is no such thing as Root Bone Pills; they are just ordinary Qi Replenishing Pills.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: But those foolish mortals trip over themselves to stuff real gold and silver into our pockets, afraid we won’t accept it.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: Honestly, if it weren’t for their help, my friend couldn’t have hidden so deeply in the mortal cities!

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: Demon Cultivator? In truth, everyone has a demon in their heart.

Demon Cultivator Nineteen: Heh heh heh...

...

Looking at the members of the Demonic Path chat group speaking so freely, the little demon Ye Miedie was greatly shaken, as if a door to a new world had opened before her.

The Demon Cultivators of the Human Race! Their schemes run so deep! They’re even more cunning than me, a demon with the bloodline of a Demon God! It’s enough to make one feel a sense of defeat!

However, something felt odd. Ye Miedie scratched her head and suddenly realized.

She typed a message in the group, asking, "Why do all of your esteemed friends reside in the Great Vajra Temple’s territory? Is the Great Vajra Temple a major stronghold for us Demon Cultivators?"

PFFT!

PFFT!

PFFT!

Ye Miedie’s question immediately made numerous Demon Cultivators in the group spit out their food.

But since she was the one spending lavishly, they indulged her.

Soon, a Demon Cultivator replied.

Demon Cultivator A: The Great Vajra Temple is naturally not one of the Demonic Sects, but...

Demon Cultivator A: We Demon Cultivators are scattered across various states and prefectures. To avoid encirclement and suppression by the Righteous Sects, we never rashly expose our hiding places.

Demon Cultivator A: Moreover, when it comes to illicit operations, it’s inconvenient to reveal real place names.

Demon Cultivator A: Otherwise, if we attracted the attention of the local Immortal Sects and they conducted a targeted investigation to sweep for demons, wouldn’t we be digging our own graves?

Demon Cultivator A: So, when those fellow daoists said their friends were in the Great Vajra Temple’s jurisdiction, you should just take it with a grain of salt, Saintess. It has very little credibility.

Demon Cultivator A: They could be in the territory of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect, the Longhu Immortal Sect, or maybe even the Mount Shu Immortal Sect or the Yunlan Immortal Sect.

Demon Cultivator A: As for why everyone uses the Great Vajra Temple as an example... those who know, know.

...

Demon Cultivator B: In any case, if the Saintess wants to use these methods to earn money or recruit, the fellow daoists in this group can all offer you advice. After all, we of the Demonic Path are one big family!

Demon Cultivator B: But, Saintess, you must remember one thing.

Demon Cultivator B: No matter what crooked schemes you come up with, try to avoid the Sanqing Immortal Sect of Lujiang Prefecture. Those Taoists are all stubborn as mules and truly come after us with a vengeance.

Demon Cultivator B: Despite being as poor as dirt, they are completely inflexible.

Demon Cultivator B: Sometimes, for a bounty of a few dozen Spirit Stones, they will chase you for thousands of miles, even using forbidden techniques and risking their lives. You can’t even bribe them.

Demon Cultivator B: They’ll just say, "Fiend, after I kill you, all your money will be mine!"

Demon Cultivator B: In short, these Taoists are not to be trifled with!

Demon Cultivator B: I had a few friends who refused to heed this warning, and they ended up dying horribly.

...

Demon Cultivator C: That place is crawling with Taoists and the danger level is off the charts. If you don’t want to die, stay far away.

Demon Cultivator D: +1

Demon Cultivator E: +1

Demon Cultivator F: +1

...

In the Demon Cultivator group, almost all the senior members were in unanimous agreement: the territory under the Sanqing Immortal Sect’s jurisdiction was extremely dangerous and best avoided.

Only two types of people dared to cause trouble within the Sanqing Immortal Sect’s territory.

The first type consisted of unaffiliated and unsupported rogue demons and rogue cultivators, who stumbled upon the path of cultivation by chance and lacked guidance. The ignorant know no fear, so they dare to commit crimes under the very nose of the Sanqing Immortal Sect. Such demons and Demon Cultivators are numerous, but generally, within the sect’s territory, they don’t survive past episode three.

The second type was comprised of audacious, death-defying Demon Cultivators who deliberately sought thrills, playing with danger and enjoying dancing on graves. Some wanted to prove their abilities by courting disaster. Others were displeased with the Sanqing Immortal Sect’s arrogant attitude of slaying demons and deliberately set up counter-ambushes to hunt their disciples.

Demonic Qi erodes the body, amplifying a cultivator’s seven emotions and six desires. Consequently, such terrorists are not a minority among Demon Cultivators. With emotions like rage and resentment magnified, they are ruled by impulse. But after a few offenses, they would be hunted down by the enraged Sanqing Immortal Sect. It was a life-or-death struggle, facing a nine-in-ten chance of death!

Over time, the number of Demon Cultivators in the Demonic Path who dared to oppose the Sanqing Immortal Sect dwindled.

After all, if you beat this group of penniless Taoists, you wouldn’t gain much, but if you lost, you would pay with your life. It simply wasn’t worth it.

Many high-ranking disciples and Elders of the Sanqing Immortal Sect, unable to find suitable tasks near the sect, had taken to the remote borders of Nanzhou to slay fiends and eliminate evil. It couldn’t be helped. There were too many monks and not enough porridge. If they didn’t actively expand their business, they would all starve sooner or later.

...

Sanqing Immortal Sect, a forbidden ground for Demon Cultivators?

Curiosity bloomed in the little demon Ye Miedie’s heart.

What kind of sect could make so many Demon Cultivators so wary, to the point of utter avoidance?

A strong rebellious streak rose alongside her curiosity.

Excellent! Congratulations to this sect for successfully catching the attention of this little demon. Since only the most vicious and wicked Demon Cultivators dare to cause trouble near the Sanqing Immortal Sect, then my first stop for my evildoing shall be near the Sanqing Immortal Sect! After all, a true Peerless Great Demon God must be brave enough to challenge danger and the impossible. Without the immense courage and willpower to stand against the world, how could one ever rule over it? I, the little demon Ye Miedie, am destined to become the woman who stands beside the Great Demon God! A mere Sanqing Immortal Sect, what can it do to me? Heh heh heh...

...

Meanwhile, Ye Miedie had made up her mind. Once she drafted her "Evildoing Itinerary," she would select the Sanqing Immortal Sect as her first stop.

On the other hand, Wang Xiu was too preoccupied to pay any more attention to the group chat. His Skull Command Token had begun to vibrate.

Someone had initiated a video call request to Daimon Qianmian.

It was the Red Enchanting Snake Princess
