I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 217 - 117: The Nine Demon Dao Sects
Chapter 217: Chapter 117: The Nine Demon Dao Sects
Ye Jingyu paused slightly at this point and saw deep worry on the faces of Li Jizhou and the other two.
However, it wasn’t over,
He continued, “Besides, further east and north, there are the Celestial Slaughter Sect, the Demon Gu Sect, the Joyful Sect, the Yin Ghost Sect, the Nine Nether Demon Sect, the Demon Corpse Dao, the Demon Puppet Sect, and the Poison Demon Sect!
The entire Wei Kingdom has been completely controlled by the nine sects of the Demon Dao, turning into a ranch for hundreds of years!”
At this, the four of them were completely unsettled.
Li Jizhou also held his breath for a few moments.
He had thought that even if the Demon Dao was powerful in the Wei Kingdom, it would at most rule the kingdom under the guise of the righteous path.
He never imagined that the nine sects of the Demon Dao had long developed the Wei Kingdom into a ranch!
Other sect cultivators within the Wei Kingdom, including mortals, were merely consumables and blood food for their cultivation of demon skills!
They enshroud the entire cultivation world of the Wei Kingdom like an invisible giant net but do not completely annihilate it, even giving people the hope of resistance.
However, this hope had long been under the control of the Demon Dao.
Their malicious intent and far-reaching conspiracy are chilling!
Even Li Jizhou, cultivating diligently far away in Liuyun City of the Yan Kingdom, couldn’t help but shudder.
A chill rushed straight to his head!
If he were born in such a cultivation world controlled by the Demon Dao, it would indeed be an endless tragedy!
If the entire Celestial Profound Continent were to be farmed by the Demon Dao in this way, no matter how many lifetimes he reincarnated, he would never escape!
“Breaking them into pieces still can’t resolve my hatred!” Yu Ziyu clenched her silver teeth and spoke with hatred.
The four were silent for a long time before calming themselves.
“Let’s first explore the nearby sects!” Ye Jingyu suggested coldly.
The other three had no objections and immediately flew towards the closed sect families they had seen on their way here.
Half a day later, the four arrived at the entrance of the Qingshui Sect.
“Who goes there? State your name!” a disciple guarding the mountain gate asked loudly.
Ye Jingyu wasted no words and immediately unleashed the aura of the Middle Stage of Core Formation.
Given the middle grade of the spirit vein situation of this sect, the Mountain Protection Array was only Tier Two, and Ye Jingyu could break it with a single hand. However, they were here to verify the situation, so it was unnecessary to destroy people’s Mountain Protection Array.
As expected, the gatekeeping disciple was overwhelmed by Ye Jingyu’s burst of aura and could only gasp for breath. As soon as Ye Jingyu withdrew his magical power aura, the disciple hurried inside the sect in a panic.
Meanwhile, a few people were already flying towards the entrance.
“We apologize for failing to greet such a distinguished guest at our Qingshui Sect!” a senior at the Middle Stage of Core Formation arrived. Seeing that the visitor was only calling at the gate, the sect leader of Qingshui Sect knew that they harbored no ill will.
“No problem, I have some questions for you!” Ye Jingyu said coldly.
The sect leader of Qingshui Sect, only a cultivator at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, naturally didn’t dare to be negligent in front of Ye Jingyu.
“Please come to our main hall, senior, and I will not hold back any information!” Sect Leader Yue of the Qingshui Sect said respectfully.
Ye Jingyu didn’t mind and used the Secret Skill of Shrinking the Ground into Inches, arriving in the main hall of the Qingshui Sect three breaths later, ahead of Sect Leader Yue.
Yu Ziyu and the other two followed suit, astonishing Sect Leader Yue.
When Sect Leader Yue returned to the main hall with all his might,
four real persons, all exuding the aura of Core Formation, were already seated peacefully.
Sect Leader Yue dismissed his attendants and personally closed the hall door.
Then he bowed deeply to the four.
“Let’s cut the small talk. I’ll ask you, do you know about the Demon Dao?” Ye Jingyu’s Peak of Core Formation Divine Sense enveloped Sect Leader Yue in an instant.
“Ah?” Sect Leader Yue was shocked, his eyes inadvertently darting around.
Unsure whether to tell the truth.
For hundreds of years, the ancestral teachings of the Qingshui Sect were to one day eradicate the Demon Dao and wish for a world without demons.
Moreover, the Demon Medicine Sect would take several disciples from the Qingshui Sect every few years, claiming to lead them to the Divine Sect.
However, he knew from the inheritance of past ancestors that the so-called Divine Sect was likely the Demon Dao, and most of those taken were refined into human medicine.
He had considered relocating the sect,
but any disciple who left the sect would disappear if they ventured beyond a three-thousand-mile radius.
So, they had always remained patient and pretended to cooperate, as had the sect’s ancestors for generations.
Outwardly, they expressed gratitude and obedience to the so-called Divine Sect, celebrating for the disciples chosen.
However, secretly, they encouraged more births to cultivate outstanding descendants, hoping that one day a genius would emerge capable of destroying the Demon Dao.
Fortunately, within the three-thousand-mile radius around the Qingshui Sect, there were no other cultivation forces, and resources were relatively abundant, giving them hope.
Yet, this was his deepest secret, one he dared not let the Demon Dao know. Otherwise, it might lead to the destruction of the sect, obliterating any hope of eradicating the Demon Dao.
But facing such strong individuals at this moment,
though they called it the Demon Sect,
he was unsure of their stance.
Afraid they might be from the Demon Sect, probing intentionally.
“Clap clap clap~” Seeing him hesitate, Ye Jingyu threw three corpses from the Demon Medicine Sect on the ground before Sect Leader Yue.
“Hiss~” Upon a closer look, how could one of them not be a disciple of the Demon Medicine Sect?
“Heavens have eyes! Senior, these are the demon sect disciples known as the Divine Sect. I…” At this moment, Sect Leader Yue no longer hesitated,
for nothing was more convincing than the three demon sect corpses.
He realized he had encountered fellow practitioners.
Soon, Sect Leader Yue recounted the history between the Qingshui Sect and the Demon Medicine Sect in one breath.
After the four of them heard, they all sighed inwardly.
Just as expected!
The sect cultivators within the sphere of influence of the Demon Medicine Sect believed that by striving, they had the hope of overthrowing the Demon Medicine Sect.
Unbeknownst to them, everything was already calculated by the opposition.
The reason for leaving them be was merely to let them continue to provide resources endlessly for cultivating demon skills!
Having obtained the desired answers, Ye Jingyu warned Sect Leader Yue to forget today’s meeting and then left.
Afterward, the four replicated this method and went to confirm the situation at two slightly larger sects, both yielding the same conclusions.
A month later, the four reached the site of the Demon Medicine Sect, a quasi-fourth-tier spirit vein, where the three bold characters, Divine Medicine Sect, were visible from a distance on the city gate.
“You all wait outside, I’ll go explore the reality!” Ye Jingyu said in a low voice.
“Let’s all go together!” Yu Ziyu replied calmly.
Ye Jingyu shook his hand, “No need, none of the nine sects of the Demon Dao are easy to deal with, and their means are unfathomable. I’m not fully confident, so there’s no need for all of us to be involved. If something goes wrong, you all leave immediately, at least you can relay the situation in Wei Kingdom.”
“I’ll go then. Master Ye is powerful and a central figure in eradicating demons. I have little strength and can’t offer much, so why not take the risk now?” Zhou Cang stepped forward again.
Having formed a fake pill earlier, the ambitions in his heart had already extinguished, resigning himself to fate.
He had planned to enjoy his twilight years.
Unexpectedly, the issue of the Demon Dao intensified.
The back he relied on, the Wuxiang Sect, was even in conflict with the Commerce Alliance until now.
Unintentionally, his ambition rekindled with the escalation of the Demon Dao situation.
However, he also knew that concerning the Demon Dao, as a mere fake pill cultivator, he had limited contributions to make.
He had spent quite a few words seeking Yu Ziyu’s approval to infiltrate Wei Kingdom.
After Zhou Cang spoke, both Ye Jingyu and Yu Ziyu looked at him.
“Haha, with the mask of Wuxiang, having absorbed the blood of that Demon Sect disciple, and with Master Ye explaining the soul-searching situation, with my acting skills, I shouldn’t give anything away, rest assured!” Zhou Cang laughed openly.
Ye Jingyu and Yu Ziyu exchanged a glance and acknowledged that concerning acting, they indeed weren’t as uninhibited as Zhou Cang.
“In that case, be extra cautious…”
“I’ll go!” At this moment, Master Han stepped forward.
“If you go in the guise of those three Demon Medicine Sect disciples, it might not be appropriate; those three were clearly dispatched to capture others, yet returned empty-handed. How can they explain?
It might be better for me to enter as a Joyful Sect disciple and investigate.”
After soul searching and verifying with several sects, the basic situation of the Wei Kingdom was actually already clear.
The purpose of Li Jizhou’s entry into the Wei Kingdom was accomplished.
The next step is to devise a long-term plan and craft a thorough strategy.
Exchanging this puppet substitute for the situation in Wei Kingdom was already a gain.
Besides, it might not necessarily lead to trouble.
“Master Han!” The other three all turned their eyes towards him.
