Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality - Chapter 302 - 269: Engraved with a Blood Demon Flower
You either cripple your cultivation and start over, or you die in the Wandao Sect.
As for fleeing the Wandao Sect and joining another sect?
You didn’t have that option.
Within ten days, Xiao Mo purged the entire Wandao Sect from top to bottom.
Many an Elder Deacon sought out the “followers of the dragon” who had previously protected Xiao Mo, hoping they would plead for mercy on their behalf.
But all their requests were rejected.
In truth, these “followers of the dragon,” the Elder Peak Masters, were well aware of their relationship with Xiao Mo.
The reason they had protected Xiao Mo at the time was not because they had any deep affection for him; some even despised him.
But they knew Xiao Mo could not be allowed to die.
Because Ding Jingyi was dead, and the Wandao Sect no longer had a cultivator in the Ascension Realm.
A sect without an Ascension Realm cultivator presiding over it was not qualified to be called one of the Ten Great Demon Sects.
Not to mention, the Wandao Sect’s Sect Protection Array was severely damaged, and the sect had lost too many of its high-level combatants.
The other major Demon Sects would definitely be eyeing the Wandao Sect greedily.
Although Xiao Mo was in the Immortal Realm, his strength surpassed that of an ordinary Ascension Realm cultivator by an unknown margin.
Furthermore, in their eyes, Xiao Mo would certainly reach the Ascension Realm.
At that time, the Wandao Sect would truly become the number one sect in the Western Regions.
The other Demon Sects in the Western Regions might all become vassals of the Wandao Sect.
And they themselves would gain even greater benefits.
In contrast, if Xiao Mo had died back then, Xia Kong and his followers were of comparable strength to them.
The Wandao Sect would have inevitably erupted into internal strife.
Without even waiting for other sects to invade, the Wandao Sect would have likely fallen apart.
So, while a portion of them did genuinely support Xiao Mo, the majority did so because he was their only choice.
Naturally, Xiao Mo was also aware of their true motives.
After all, relationships between cultivators were built on mutual benefit, not sentiment.
And how much sentiment did Xiao Mo have for them?
Everyone simply had a tacit understanding, maintaining a semblance of courtesy.
Thus, these Hall Masters and Peak Masters who understood the situation eventually closed their doors to all visitors, refusing to get involved in anything.
They believed that if they pleaded for these people, Xiao Mo wouldn’t spare them, either.
And so, Xiao Mo killed more and more.
He killed until no one dared to harbor any hope of being spared.
He killed until no one dared to defy the laws of the Wandao Sect again.
All they could do was accept it.
While the Wandao Sect was undergoing this reformation, the news of Sect Leader Ding Jingyi’s death also reached the ears of the other Nine Great Demon Sects.
This was especially true for the Emperor Beast Sect, which held a deep-seated grudge against Xiao Mo.
When he heard that the Wandao Sect’s Sect Leader was dead and that only thirty percent of their Jade Realm and Immortal Realm cultivators remained, the ambitions of Emperor Beast Sect’s Leader, Tang Beifeng, were quickly stirred.
Although Tang Beifeng didn’t know the specifics of what had happened in the Wandao Sect, he knew this:
The current Wandao Sect had no Ascension Realm cultivator to watch over it, and even its Sect Protection Array was severely damaged. Their people were surely in a state of panic.
This was the best opportunity to carve up the Wandao Sect.
Tang Beifeng wasn’t the only one who thought this way; the other Eight Great Demon Sects also wanted to take a piece of the Wandao Sect for themselves.
But none of them wanted to bear the risk alone.
After all, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Even a dying Wandao Sect wouldn’t be an easy bite.
And so, the Nine Great Demon Sects formed the “Nine Demon Alliance” to launch a joint crusade against the Wandao Sect.
The cultivators of the Wandao Sect soon heard the news.
Every disciple of the Wandao Sect was shocked, not knowing what to do.
The Nine Great Demon Sects crusading against the Wandao Sect—such a thing was unprecedented.
And now, the Wandao Sect didn’t even have an Ascension Realm cultivator to guard it.
As for their own young Sect Leader…
Although rumors said his Immortal Realm cultivation was comparable to the Ascension Realm and that he had personally killed Ding Jingyi.
But the vast majority had not seen it with their own eyes, so how could they feel at ease?
Besides, so what if Xiao Mo’s realm was comparable to the Ascension Realm?
Barely half a month had passed since that great battle.
It was heard that Xiao Mo had been gravely injured. Even if his injuries had improved, they couldn’t possibly be fully healed. And they were facing nine Ascension Realm Sect Leaders invading the Wandao Sect together!
On top of that, the Wandao Sect’s Sect Protection Array was still severely damaged.
For a time, panic spread throughout the Wandao Sect.
Even some of the Wandao Sect’s upper echelons were filled with anxiety.
But through it all, Xiao Mo never once appeared to reassure them.
“Sect Leader, shouldn’t we do something to reassure the disciples?”
One day, Si Li came to Blood Sin Peak and asked Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes. “Post a notice.”
“Your command, Sect Leader,” Si Li said respectfully.
“Scram if you want.”
Xiao Mo said calmly.
Si Li froze for a moment, then smiled and nodded, her voice revealing an even deeper infatuation with the man before her. “Yes, Sect Leader!”
After returning to Ten Thousand Flowers Peak, Si Li had her junior sister post the four-word notice throughout the entire Wandao Sect.
“Peak Master… Is this really okay?”
The junior sister who assisted Si Li with her duties asked worriedly.
“As long as the Sect Leader said it, it’s fine,” Si Li said with a smile.
“But Peak Master… this is the Nine Great Demon Sects we’re talking about. I’ve heard all nine Ascension Realm Sect Leaders will be coming, and our Wandao Sect’s Sect Protection Array is completely useless right now…”
The junior sister, named Bai He, bit her lip lightly.
“Can the Sect Leader really hold out?”
“Who knows?” Si Li shook her head, her expression composed. “To be honest, I know the Sect Leader is very, very strong, but this time, with him facing the Nine Great Demon Sects… I don’t really have much confidence either.”
“Then, Peak Master, in that case, shouldn’t we leave the Wandao Sect? It’s better than waiting here to die,” Bai He said worriedly.
“Bai He, if you want to go, then go. I won’t blame you,” Si Li said, looking gently at Bai He. “But I’m not leaving.”
“Why?” Bai He didn’t understand.
“Because…” Si Li tapped her junior sister between the brows, her eyes curving into crescents. “I haven’t had him carry me on his back yet.”
Outside the courtyard, Yu Yunwei, who had been on her way to discuss matters with Si Li, overheard the conversation. Her expression was one of utter disdain.
’What a slut, pretending to be so innocent!’
Yu Yunwei placed the scroll at the door and turned to leave.
But she also knew that in this world, countless people were even worse than that slut.
Early the next day, the four large words of Xiao Mo’s decree, “Scram if you want,” were posted throughout the Wandao Sect.
When the disciples of the Wandao Sect saw these four large words, they were all stunned, suspecting they had misread them.
They hadn’t expected Xiao Mo to actually let them leave, rather than tying them all to his war chariot.
At first, some disciples didn’t believe it, thinking they would die the moment they stepped out of the sect.
But when a few disciples tried to leave the sect and succeeded without incident, they knew Xiao Mo was telling the truth.
And so, more and more cultivators flew away from the Wandao Sect.
But Xiao Mo just sat cross-legged before the grave of the Blood Demon.
It was as if he didn’t care at all about what was happening in the Wandao Sect.
Ten days passed, and the grand armies of the Nine Great Demon Sects arrived at their borders.
The thought of plundering the Wandao Sect bare brought an excited look to everyone’s face.
They had also heard that the female cultivators of the Wandao Sect’s Ten Thousand Flowers Peak were skilled in many arts and were all outstandingly beautiful. Especially Si Li, who was said to possess a natural-born seductive charm. And then there was Yu Yunwei, whose beauty was renowned throughout the Western Regions. This made them all the more impatient.
“Everyone! Sect Leader Ding was my dearest friend, yet he was murdered by a villain! Today, we swear to avenge Sect Leader Ding!” Sect Leader Tang Beifeng of the Emperor Beast Sect shouted to the assembled thirty thousand cultivators as he hovered in the air.
“Avenge Sect Leader Ding!”
“Avenge Sect Leader Ding!”
The cultivators shouted in unison.
“Charge! Into the Wandao Sect!”
Following the order from the White Jade Sect’s Sect Leader, the cultivators, who could wait no longer, poured in like a flood, swarming into the Wandao Sect.
But just as tens of thousands of them entered Wandao Sect territory…
They saw a man sitting on a mountain peak not far away.
The man was all alone.
He wore black robes and had a black blade at his waist.
The only different color was a vermilion wine gourd hanging from his hip.
The crowd watched as the man untied the gourd, tilted his head back, and took a long drink.
Sangluo Wine overflowed from his mouth and trickled down the corner of his lips.
Upon closer inspection, a Blood Demon Flower was carved onto the wine gourd.
