"Is this all the strength you have?"
In the middle of the arena, Wu Liang pulled his long sword from the corpse, glanced casually in the direction of Lu Jin’an, and a scornful smile played at the corners of his mouth. He raised his voice by several decibels, "I, too, hail from Yulin Domain, and you’re even weaker than I imagined."
Indeed, if your so-called righteous path hadn’t joined forces back then, how could you have been a match for our Wuji Demon Sect?"
He flicked his wrist, shaking off the blood from the sword, his eyes full of mockery.
After the Wuji Demon Sect was besieged and annihilated, its residual forces scattered into various domains, some joined other demon sects, while others focused on reviving the glory of the Wuji Demon Sect.
This is not an easy task, but it’s not without opportunity either.
Although the Human Clan now lacks a hegemonic Demon Sect under the stabilization of the Five Sects and Seven Schools, there are still Immortals among the demon cultivators.
The Cultivation World does not abide by the laws of the Mortal World, and cultivators have desires stronger than ordinary people. As long as there are desires, there will be countless cultivators who fall into the Demon Path.
In the world, the principles of Yin and Yang, light and dark, all have their reasons for existing.
Everyone knows that the Demon Path cannot be completely eradicated because the cultivation process of demon cultivators is indeed faster than normal cultivation processes.
Thus, after the Wuji Demon Sect, which once dominated a domain, was annihilated, the Demon Path was suppressed to an extent. As long as it did not grow too large, it became a whetstone for disciples of various sects.
Wu Liang understood that the righteous path led by the Five Sects and Seven Schools did not intentionally ’raise a tiger,’ but ’for trouble’ was not something they could decide.
The rapid rise of the Wuji Demon Sect back then is the best example.
Upon receiving the command to act high-profile from his superiors, Wu Liang hurried to Sunset Canyon, knowing that this trip was fraught with danger but as long as Saint Lu of Wandao Sect did not make a move, he could kill more righteous Tongsheng Realm prodigies from Yulin Domain to bolster the Wuji Demon Sect’s power!
So, impatiently, Wu Liang took the stage first, provoking them with words to fight individually, and now, there were five corpses lying on the arena.
Wu Liang sneered, "You occupy the most cultivation resources, and yet you only have this kind of strength? What a waste."
After he spoke, silence fell around the entire arena.
Because at the last Immortal Tea Gathering, the third strongest after Li Wuyi and Yang Guan, Xue Hanshan, also died on the arena in a Daoist skill competition.
Limb-less, a gruesome sight.
And before this, all who died at Wu Liang’s hands were top twenty Tongsheng Realm experts from the previous Immortal Tea Gathering!
And just a moment ago, these people were scrambling to take the stage to claim the credit for eradicating demons and defending the Dao.
But now, they had all become corpses.
It was nearly all a crush by Wu Liang.
Onlookers on the cliffs of the canyon looked grim, especially the elder of the Fenghuo Sect, whose face was the most sullen.
Because Xue Hanshan was one of the direct disciples of the Fenghuo Sect.
He clenched his hands tightly, feeling both furious and puzzled inside.
The Wuji Demon Sect has been extinct for thousands of years, with those who survived fleeing or hiding, no longer daring to walk openly in the world.
Yet, from such a group hiding in dark corners emerged such a prodigy?
They underestimated Wu Liang, which is why they allowed him to present himself and waited for the young ones present to eradicate the demons and defend the Dao on the arena.
Not only did they fail in eradicating demons and defending the Dao or gaining reputation, but they were belittled and ridiculed by this young man from the Wuji Demon Sect!
If they had attacked him en masse from the start, this situation would not have occurred.
And if they attacked en masse now, it would become a joke about how they couldn’t win individually and had to use a crowd tactic to exhaust Wu Liang to death!
Once this news spreads, who knows how the demon cultivators around the world would exaggerate and ridicule them...
This, however, doesn’t matter, but the immortal sects of the neighboring great domain, who have been coveting Yulin Domain, would certainly seize the opportunity to stir things up, affecting the recruitment of new disciples or persuading within-sect disciples to leave.
In the long run, without action from the upper-level Immortals, the sect’s power would only decline.
Many gazes now turned to Yang Guan, the host of this year’s Immortal Tea Gathering.
Li Wuyi has already Harmonized, so only Yang Guan, who ranked second in the last Immortal Tea Gathering, could go.
In the private room, Lu Jin’an retracted his gaze, glanced at Qiu Qingtang lying asleep on the table, and gently patted his senior sister’s head: "This Wu Liang surely knows how to manipulate the face of reputable sects."
Mu Qingyue softly parted her lips, as if a delicate lotus root breaking: "Is this similar to... a gentleman being deceived by form?"
"I am also bullying my junior brother with form now."
"In what way?" Lu Jin’an flicked his senior sister’s forehead with his finger.
"Form, means standing."
"Did you learn this from that ’Delusional Yin Yang Path’?"
Mu Qingyue shook her head: "Once you have the foundation, you can extrapolate."
Mu Qingyue gave a light kiss as if a chick pecking at rice: "Will you take action, junior brother?"
"Yang Guan hasn’t taken action yet." Lu Jin’an picked up a strawberry and put it into his mouth: "The Nine Hundred and Ninety Domains of the Human Clan, the stability of the Five Sects and Seven Schools is the grand plan, but they’re not the firefighters of every domain. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs nοvelfire.net
The vast Yulin Domain surely can handle such a small issue."
"Yes." Mu Qingyue remained in a crouch, tiptoeing, softly parted her lips.
Lu Jin’an looked at Wu Liang on the arena and frowned slightly.
Since the annihilation of the Wuji Demon Sect, the actions of the Demon Path have become much more low-key. Even in the remote small domains, the Demon Path has not risen up.
