Chapter 53: Demonic Sect Expansion

In the darkness, more than a dozen pairs of eyes shone with strange light, like poisonous snakes hiding in a cave, staring at the branch leader, waiting for him to speak.

At this time, the branch leader, who was sitting lazily, spoke. His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for decades, and every word he said had a sense of weight.

"Why aren't the lights on?"

A demonic sect deacon replied respectfully: "Branch Leader, you forgot. Last time at the meeting, you said you participated in a higher-level meeting, how the atmosphere there was, and also said our Yanjiang Branch had no demonic sect atmosphere."

"I thought about it, that's how it is. Our Yanjiang Branch has the lowest level among all branches, perhaps the reason lies here."

"I thought, don't storybooks all say our demonic sect likes to plot conspiracies in dark places? So I specifically didn't let the servants turn on the lights."

"You don't say, not turning on the lights really has the atmosphere of doing bad things."

Obviously, this deacon had a very clear understanding of his behavior, knowing that the demonic sect was not a place to do good things.

The branch leader was silent for a long time, thinking about whether this deacon was implying in disguise that he wanted to quit the sect? Implying that the Yanjiang Branch hadn't raised the allowance for a long time? Or implying that they should buy insurance for the demonic sect members?

It shouldn't be that he wanted to quit the sect.

The other party had always been diligent in doing bad things, and didn't distinguish between friend and foe. He did bad things outside, and in the demonic sect, he still ruined the affairs of his own people. He was a well-deserved bad egg.

It also wasn't that he wanted to raise the allowance.

The demonic sect's allowance is linked to local finance, three times that of local officials, which is already very high. Yanjiang County is a remote small county, and the Yanjiang Branch's allowance couldn't be at the same level as the headquarters.

It wouldn't be a request to buy insurance either. Most demonic sect members have no heirs. If they bought insurance, who would it be paid to?

Furthermore, the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce wouldn't let the demonic sect buy insurance. If they sold personal accident insurance to the demonic sect, the demonic sect would have the confidence to make the chamber of commerce lose everything.

"Turn on the lights first."

"Yes."

The deacon blew a breath, and the firelight fell on the lamp, lighting the wick. Suddenly, the whole hall lit up.

The branch leader spoke again: "Everyone has heard more or less about Little Qin's rumors. Don't spread them anymore, so as not to let outsiders make a joke of us."

"Little Qin's character is obvious to all. Doing evil and committing all kinds of crimes, once caught by the government, beheading is light. It is enough to prove that Little Qin's character fits our demonic sect's doctrine."

"As for the theory that Little Qin is righteous, it is even more nonsense. Those who can join the demonic sect have passed the sect leader's test."

"The sect leader's evaluation of him is 'demonic nature into the bones'. The evaluation of the old man will never be wrong."

Qin Yuanhao bowed and saluted: "Branch Leader is wise."

Qin Yuanhao felt a little better. He made up his mind that after he went back, he must slaughter the guy who spread the rumors!

The branch leader didn't mention Qin Yuanhao's affairs again. Saying a few words was already out of consideration for the gift of the chair.

"Calling everyone here today is because the headquarters has issued a mission."

The branch leader paused and said: "The headquarters requires all places to recruit new demonic sect disciples."

Qin Yuanhao and others were stunned. They didn't expect it to be this matter. The demonic sect hadn't recruited people on a large scale for thirty years. In the last thirty years, they had all joined the demonic sect through personal introductions.

For example, Qin Yuanhao wanted to win over the tiger demon, but unfortunately, the tiger demon guarded Songshan and was unwilling to join the demonic sect.

"Everyone should know the theory of the Great Era. In the past hundred years, geniuses have risen, and famous masters may also be defeated by unknown boys. Countless ruins and caves that were not discovered before have reappeared in the world. This is a great era where opportunities and challenges coexist."

"The Five Great Immortal Sects, Super Sects, and First-Class Sects all have geniuses emerging. The rare dual spiritual roots of the past are now everywhere. If these geniuses are allowed to truly grow up, there will be no need to fight for this Great Era."

"If you want to fight, only now!"

"If you seize the opportunity, you can meet the rain and become a dragon, soar to the nine heavens, and become an immortal!"

"But opportunities are not so easy to get. The damn Great Xia Dynasty and the Five Great Immortal Sects have increased their crackdown on us, and many fellow daoists have fallen because of this."

"If you want to win a foothold in this Great Era, you must expand our demonic sect's members. The Four Great Demonic Sects have reached a consensus on this matter."

"What you need to do is to spread the news of the demonic sect recruiting people through your respective channels, and strive to gather the demonic cultivators in Yanjiang County and nearby counties, or those who intend to join our demonic sect."

Someone worried: "With such large-scale recruitment, will it give the righteous path an opportunity to mix into our demonic sect?"

It wasn't just him; many people present had this question.

The demonic sect was already living cautiously. If a few more righteous undercover agents appeared, the demonic sect's situation would be in jeopardy.

The branch leader shook his head: "This recruitment is organized by the sect leader with supreme great supernatural powers. It is absolutely impossible for people of the righteous path to pass the test set by the old man."

The questioning disappeared, replaced by endless fanaticism.

For the members of the demonic sect, the sect leader is an omnipotent existence, the sky of the demonic sect, and will definitely lead their Decayed Sect to brilliance!

After the meeting, Qin Yuanhao immediately used his connections to find out who wanted to frame him.

Through various channels, the source was finally locked in a small tavern.

"That guest was eight feet tall, eight feet wide, with a face full of pockmarks. He was a strong man, looking like he could eat three children in one meal." The tavern owner gestured, having a very deep impression of Lu Yang.

According to the description, Qin Yuanhao soon drew a portrait that was far from the real Lu Yang.

At that time, the three Lu Yang had disguised themselves before entering the tavern to spread rumors.

Qin Yuanhao's expression was cold. Looking so conspicuous and still daring to spread rumors, did he think he was easy to bully?

It was late at night, and the Great Xia Dynasty had no curfew. Qin Yuanhao took a group of younger brothers to eat barbecue on the street, including pork skewers, beef skewers, roasted lamb legs, roasted chicken feet, roasted chicken legs, roasted pork skin, roasted tendon, roasted beef tendon, roasted river shrimp, tender roasted kidney, roasted leeks, roasted potatoes, roasted eggplant, roasted wet tofu...

The skewers were tender and full of ingredients, the seasoning was flavorful, and the taste was endless. Smearing the dark, oily secret sauce, stimulated by the charcoal fire, the fragrance was nose-piercing, and the oil was sizzling.

Pork was skewered on long bamboo sticks and roasted in a large fire basin. The fat was sticky but not greasy, and the lean meat had a rich flavor.

Lamb legs were roasted in a naan pit, combining braising and roasting, heated evenly, charred and tender, and delicious.

Chicken feet were first braised and then roasted, with tendons, skin, and cartilage, rich in texture, and satisfying to chew.

Chicken feet were roasted raw, the heat was precisely controlled, and the moisture and oil could not be lost excessively, allowing the skin, meat, tendons, and bones to achieve a balance of taste and texture.

Potatoes were braised and roasted with smoking, paired with secret soy sauce, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fine and sandy.

Several people ate until their faces were oily.

After eating and drinking enough, Qin Yuanhao commanded his younger brothers arrogantly: "You guys, go, search the whole city for these people. Don't come back if you can't find them!"

"Yes, Big Brother!" A group of younger brothers responded and scattered.

Qin Yuanhao finished eating the skewers, satisfied, and temporarily stopped thinking about the annoying rumor-monger. At the same time, he didn't notice Lu Yang lurking underground.

Few people notice their feet, and Qin Yuanhao was no exception. ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
