Chapter 224: Marrying the Sect Master of the Xianxia Sect, All Are Dao Companions

But at this very moment, Yu Ming was so terrified that he knelt on the ground, his heart devoid of any ripples, drenched in cold sweat, his face ashen, because he knew that if his answer failed to satisfy the other party, he would almost certainly die.

No one could save him.

After all, the other party was a True Disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Master, a Golden Core Perfection Cultivator, and also the demoness Chu Dieyi, who was renowned throughout the Canglan Sea.

Even just through the Communication Device, she still had the ability to make his life worse than death.

"Reporting to you, my lord."

"This time, it was our error in judgment."

"Recently, a powerful competitor has appeared on Yu Family Island, called Xianxia City."

"So we decided to unite with other Golden Core Real Persons, disguise ourselves as Robber Cultivators, and waylay the Golden Core Cultivators of Xianxia City."

"But we never expected that after the Supreme Elder Yu Feng and the others arrived at Xianxia City last night, they would never return."

"Even their Life Tablets shattered."

Yu Ming honestly stated that this operation was purely an act of self-assertion by his group, which had caused many Golden Core Cultivators to fall to their deaths.

He dared not hide anything at all.

Because what the other party hated most was lies; if he were honest, there might still be a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Xianxia City? What kind of background does it have?"

Chu Dieyi asked.

"It is unclear; we only know that they are a Jin Dan Power from a remote sea area."

"It seems that because they encountered a calamity, they abandoned their home island and joined the Wuji Alliance."

"We also did not expect that these few foreign forces, merely three Golden Core Real Persons, could actually make the Supreme Elder and the others never return, unable to even escape."

Yu Ming said with a bitter smile.

Although he had heard that the Canglan Sea was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with experts among the common folk, he had never seen it himself.

Any Cultivator with a bit of ability, which one of them didn't become famous at a young age and shake the Canglan Sea?

But now, reality had slapped him hard in the face.

Just this obscure Xianxia City had caused the Yu Family to suffer a major setback, with four Golden Core Cultivators dead.

This had also caused the Yu Family heavy losses, and there was no longer any possibility of contending for hegemony in this sea area.

Even maintaining the prosperity of Yu Family Island was an incredibly difficult task.

"Xianxia City? It seems to be another mysterious force; what exactly do they want to do by lurking in the Wuji Alliance?"

"Is it a force from another Nascent Soul Sect, or is it truly a force from a remote sea area?"

Hearing this, Chu Dieyi began to take an interest in Xianxia City, a glimmer of light appearing in her beautiful eyes.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

Yu Ming couldn't help but ask; he was a bit flustered, after all, if the other party attacked Yu Family Island, given the current strength of the Yu Family, it would be certain death.

If possible, he hoped the Heavenly Demon Sect would take action to help him resolve this trouble.

"Shut up, this is trouble you brought upon yourselves by acting on your own; you actually want the Heavenly Demon Sect to help you?"

"It seems you have forgotten your own status."

Chu Dieyi snorted coldly.

Hum~~

Suddenly, an invisible sound passed through the Communication Talisman and reached Yu Ming, triggering the restriction on his body.

"Ah!"

Yu Ming immediately let out a shrill scream; he felt intense pain throughout his entire body, as if he were being bitten by countless ants, producing incomparable agony.

Fortunately, a Soundproof Barrier had been set up in this place, otherwise, it would certainly have been known by other members of the Yu Family.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I was wrong, please spare my life."

"I am a Golden Core Real Person, and the Yu Family Head; I am still useful to the Heavenly Demon Sect, still useful."

Yu Ming begged repeatedly; he knew that a restriction had been placed on him, and as long as the other party had a single thought, he would surely die an unnatural death; from the very beginning, his life and death were not his own.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you are more or less useful."

"Today would be your death day."

Chu Dieyi said indifferently, but she temporarily lifted the power of the restriction.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."

Yu Ming curled up on the ground, drenched in cold sweat, weeping with gratitude; he had the feeling of having escaped death.

"Now, do not go and provoke the Xianxia Sect again."

"List this Xianxia Sect as a key object of observation; I want to investigate the background of this sect."

"It will not be too late to plan after the investigation is clear."

"The Heavenly Demon Sect has more important things to do now and cannot cause trouble here."

Chu Dieyi said in a deep voice.

Although she was indeed very interested in Xianxia City and wanted to know what kind of power the Golden Core Real Persons behind this city possessed, she also knew that the other party was not easy to deal with.

Unless a Nascent Soul Ancestor was dispatched.

The problem was that that place was the territory of the Wuji Alliance.

If a Nascent Soul Ancestor were dispatched, it would easily trigger a great war between the two major sects, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

More importantly, to have a Nascent Soul Ancestor take action, one needed a justifiable reason and sufficient benefits.

What benefits were there to be had in dealing with Xianxia City?

Could it be to avenge a group of spies?

Don't be ridiculous; people in the Demon Sect are indifferent by nature, and even fellow disciples often kill each other, so how could they possibly avenge fellow disciples?!

Therefore, before figuring out the bottom line of Xianxia City, she would not act rashly.

"Yes, my lord."

Yu Ming nodded repeatedly; without the support of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he naturally could only shrink back.

…………

Within the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect, atop a mountain peak.

This place seemed to be surrounded by endless Demon Qi, shrouded in clouds and mist all day long, making it impossible to see the situation inside at all.

At this very moment, a peerless woman wearing a black sheer long dress, revealing a proud figure and slender legs, stood tall within the Immortal Palace, her jade feet stepping lightly on the ground, like a sprite of the dark night.

Her eyes were like water, seemingly carrying a faint coldness, disregarding everything; her ten fingers were slender, her skin like congealed fat, white as snow, translucent, as if water could be squeezed out of it.

It could be said that she was simply a natural femme fatale, stunningly beautiful and charming.

Any man would be driven mad by her, wishing to prostrate himself beneath her pomegranate skirt.

She was the Heavenly Demon Sect True Disciple Chu Dieyi; at only two hundred years old, she had already raised her cultivation to Golden Core Perfection and was hailed as the next Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"Senior Sister Chu."

At this moment, several female Cultivators immediately appeared before Chu Dieyi, all of them respectful.

After all, they were incomparably fearful of such a temperamental demoness.

"Mm."

"Go and investigate the Wuji Alliance's Xianxia City."

"Bring back all the information on this force."

"But remember not to act rashly; just scouting for information is enough."

Chu Dieyi sat on the throne of the Immortal Palace, her slender legs crossed, and ordered lazily.

"Yes, Senior Sister Chu."

Hearing this, the many Heavenly Demon Sect female Cultivators nodded, and without a word, immediately left the palace.

They did not ask why at all.

As long as Senior Sister Chu gave an order, they would just follow it; there was no need to ask for the reason.

"Next is forming the Nascent Soul."

"However, wanting to pass the three barriers of forming the Nascent Soul is truly too difficult."

In the vast Immortal Palace, only Chu Dieyi remained; she had no interest in the matter she had just ordered.

It was merely something done casually.

Now, she was more concerned with her own Nascent Soul formation.

Even though she was a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator, hailed as the most outstanding genius of the Heavenly Demon Sect in a thousand years, she still did not have much confidence in forming the Nascent Soul.

Admittedly, she could pass the first barrier, but wanting to pass the Heart Demon Tribulation and the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation was not such an easy matter.

Especially for Demon Sect Cultivators, this was even more like a natural chasm.

Therefore, she had long hesitated to break through.

"According to what Master said, I need to go out and seek opportunities to form my Nascent Soul."

"The problem is, where is my opportunity to form the Nascent Soul?"

Chu Dieyi fell into deep thought.

…………

At this time, on Shuixing Island at the Xianxia Sect, on Xianxia Peak.

"Husband, you said you want to marry Sister Lin?"

Leng Yuexi widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Zhou Sui in great surprise.

She did not expect that her husband would actually marry Lin Yazhu; it was truly inconceivable.

"That's right."

Zhou Sui nodded; this was also a conclusion he had reached after thinking for a long time. Since they were all his Dao Companions, there was no need to do it secretly; why not be together openly?

This was not something that couldn't see the light of day.

"Damn it, I knew that old woman had bad intentions."

"Usually, the way she looks at Husband is lecherous."

"She hasn't been able to get married for over three hundred years, becoming an old maid, and yet she still set her sights on Husband."

"Did that old woman force herself on you, Husband?"

Shen Biqian gritted her teeth.

She felt that it must have been Lin Yazhu who set her sights on her handsome husband, using her power as a Golden Core Cultivator to commit despicable and shameless acts against her husband.

That was the only reason that shameless woman succeeded.

After all, for an old maid over three hundred years old like that, one could imagine the level of her hunger for men.

"What do you mean by forcing herself on him?"

"Zhou Lang and I are in mutual love; I think you are the one who forced yourself on him, an old cow eating tender grass."

At this time, Lin Yazhu flashed over and arrived in front of the women.

Then she looked at Shen Biqian with great contempt, as if she had seen through this woman's character.

What?!

Seeing that this old woman dared to appear before her, Shen Biqian was furious, her teeth itching with anger.

But recalling the events of the past, she still felt a bit guilty.

Because she had indeed taken advantage of a person's precarious position and returned kindness with ingratitude back then, which was how she had gotten her husband.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know when she would have been able to consummate things with her husband.

A woman should be more proactive.

Otherwise, a good man would have been snatched away by other women long ago, and it would never be one's own turn.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing."

"Everyone will be sisters from now on, why keep arguing?"

Zhou Sui held Lin Yazhu and Shen Biqian in his arms.

"Hmph, I'll give my husband some face and not bicker with you old woman."

Shen Biqian let out a cold snort, but she was no longer angry.

And Lin Yazhu was a woman who understood the bigger picture, so naturally, she would not continue to add fuel to the fire.

"Husband, then when will the wedding be held?"

"Do we need to invite fellow Daoists widely?"

Ji Bingyu asked.

She actually felt this was a good thing; after all, her husband marrying the Sect Masters of the three major sects was equivalent to effectively unifying the three major sects, which was certainly a great thing for the future development of Xianxia City.

At the very least, the three major sects would not cause conflicts or splits over trivial matters.

"There is no need for such trouble."

"It is enough to just invite fellow sect brothers and sisters."

"There is no need to invite anyone else; it is just a simple ceremony."

Zhou Sui, however, did not want to make such a fuss. He just wanted to give Lin Yazhu a formal status; there was no need to prove anything to outsiders. Being too high-profile would instead invite unnecessary trouble.

"Understood."

Ji Bingyu and the others all nodded.

…………

Before long, the news that Zhou Sui intended to marry Qingmu Sect Sect Master Lin Yazhu swept through the three major sects—the Qingmu Sect, the Pill Cauldron Sect, and the Xianxia Sect—like a hurricane.

For the Cultivators of the three major sects, there was simply no one who did not know about it.

"What? That pretty boy is actually going to marry our Qingmu Sect Sect Master?"

Once this news came out, many Qingmu Sect Elders and Disciples exploded in an instant. This was simply explosive news, shaking them until they lost their wits.

"Damn it, I knew that pretty boy had ill intentions."

"He previously built a Third-tier Array for our Qingmu Sect for free."

"I originally thought the other party was really that kind-hearted, but I didn't expect that our Qingmu Sect had already paid the price."

"Even the Sect Master has been married off to this pretty boy."

A Qingmu Sect Foundation Establishment Elder gritted his teeth, feeling very aggrieved.

"I said it long ago, free things are always the most expensive, but you didn't believe me before."

"I'm afraid that brat hooked up with the Sect Master while he was setting up the array for our Qingmu Sect."

"If it weren't for the opportunity to build the array last time, that brat wouldn't have been able to hook up with her."

Another Qingmu Sect Foundation Establishment Elder felt very helpless.

It really is true that you can guard against thieves day and night, but it is hard to guard against an inside job.

Who could have imagined that in the short time spent building the array, this pretty boy would actually get together with their own Sect Master? There was simply nowhere to reason this out.

"It's too terrifying, how on earth did this brat do it?"

"The Sect Master has been single for over three hundred years, and I don't know how many young talents and handsome men she has seen."

"With a Dao Heart as firm as iron, she was actually still seduced by this guy. What kind of methods did he use?"

Some people felt very confused, thinking this was like a fantasy.

They didn't even know what their Sect Master saw in this man.

"I'm afraid it's precisely because she has been single for over three hundred years that she couldn't withstand this brat's offensive."

"As long as this pretty boy says a few sweet words, she likely fell for it."

"Even the Xianxia Sect Sect Master and the Pill Cauldron Sect Master were hooked up like this, let alone the Qingmu Sect Sect Master."

"One can only say that this brat is worthy of being the Daoist Heaven-Pen; his methods for hooking up with women are no joke. He is simply gifted."

"People are simply incomparable to one another."

Many Foundation Establishment Elders were completely convinced.

From a certain perspective, this brat could also be considered a heaven-sent talent.

Merely by having a good appearance, sweet words, and some unique methods, he actually made so many stunning women fall madly in love with him.

"Actually, this might not be a bad thing."

"The Sect Masters of the three major sects have all married this guy; doesn't that mean our three major sects are more united?"

"This is the Wuji Alliance Sea Area, not our former Xianxia Island."

"In this sea area, a single Golden Core Real Person cannot protect a faction."

"At the very least, a faction needs three to five Golden Core Real Persons to not be looked down upon by other forces."

"Now that the Sect Masters of the three major sects are all this guy's Dao Companions, then in the future, we will all be one family."

"There will be nothing that can sow discord between our three major sects."

At this very moment, a Qingmu Sect Elder said in a deep voice; he felt that this might not be a bad thing.

Instead, it would make the three major sects more united.

Only in this way could they survive in this chaotic sea area and not be annexed by other forces.

"That is indeed the case."

Many Foundation Establishment Elders were helpless, because since things had reached this point, they could only accept it.

After all, this was the decision of a Golden Core Real Person; no one could object to anything.

Even if they did not accept it, there was nothing to be done; could they really betray the sect and leave this place?!

Therefore, no matter what, they could only acknowledge this established fact.
