After waiting for half a day on the barren mountain, Su Ling successfully made a breakthrough.
The corpse transformation in the Umon Kingdom was caused by the Corpse Separation Beast. By eliminating them, the problem could be solved at its root.
Such crucial information must be quickly delivered to the hands of the sect elders.
However, there was another issue that needed to be addressed before that.
“After our cooperation,” Shui Qiu coldly said to the demonic cultivator woman, “you should hand over the antidote to my senior sister, right?”
The follow-up matters concerning You Ming’er…
People have already recognized me as a “demonic path big shot,” what should I do next?
【Generating options…】
【Option 1: Take advantage of You Ming’er’s unpreparedness, launch the strongest attack, and eliminate her in one fell swoop.】
【Success rate 50%, reward: a Flying Sword, failure results in severe injury, triggering the follow-up plot “The Highest Bounty of the Demonic Path: Target Tang Xin”.】
【Option 2: Take advantage of You Ming’er’s unpreparedness, and escape as quickly as possible.】
【Success rate 70%, reward: a pair of Cloud-Stepping Shoes, failure results in minor injury, triggering the follow-up plot “Sect Turmoil: Why Do You Have a Soul-Devouring Banner”.】
【Option 3: Pay You Ming’er to investigate the Corpse Separation Beast matter and maintain contact in the future.】
【Success rate 100%, reward: a box of Vita Lemon Tea.】
So, I have to pretend to be a person of the demonic path…
Tang Xin distanced herself from her two junior sisters and walked over to You Ming’er, whispering in her ear.
“I think there’s more to the Corpse Separation Beast matter. After you go back, try to investigate,” Tang Xin whispered, “I won’t let you suffer a loss.”
She secretly handed over the Demon Saliva Fragrance, the reward from the previous option.
“Demon Saliva Fragrance?”
You Ming’er was shocked once again.
This is a precious item refined through complex methods and the gathering of various rare materials. It possesses the miraculous effect of enhancing the cultivation speed of magic practitioners.
Not to mention the righteous path, even in the demonic path, such treasures are rarely seen!
A true master indeed, with numerous methods and even more treasures!
“Understood, I will investigate with all my might!” You Ming’er said enthusiastically. “Here, take this badge.”
She quietly handed over a black badge the size of a fingernail.
“To outsiders, it may seem inconsequential, but to our own, its significance is clear. If you need to contact me in the future, you can use this to seek help from our people.”
“Hmm…”
I hope everyone can go their separate ways in the future. I still want to be a good person…
We shouldn’t communicate too much, or it might arouse the suspicion of the young ladies.
Soon—
“Take the antidote and don’t let me see you again!”
“Next time, I won’t let you off so easily!”
After exchanging a few harsh words as part of the act, You Ming’er disappeared from view under the watchful eyes of the young ladies…
Tang Xin sighed deeply.
Life is hard, and so is being a senior sister…
“Don’t be disheartened,” Su Ling comforted her. “Although we could only watch her slip away this time, next time, we will surely capture her. No villain ever ends well!”
“If you say so…”
Tang Xin glanced at her.
“By the way, I seem to have saved your life, don’t I deserve a hug as a reward?”
“I’d rather you take back that life…”
Su Ling crossed her arms and said, “Current Shyness Value: 12.13.”
The values fluctuated greatly, but in the end, both the shyness value and the favorability seemed unchanged from before. Life is tough for this senior sister…
“It’s just a joke, don’t make that face like Linghua has become your master!”
“Seeing the worried senior sister for the first time, she looks so beautiful…”
… Afterwards, Tang Xin and the other two returned to the border of the Wumeng Nation, organized the information they had gathered, and reported it to the responsible elder. A
fter learning about the situation, the elder took it very seriously and quickly relayed the information back to the sect. After confirming the details, the Xuanling Sect dispatched a team of elders to carefully investigate the area of the undead outbreak and indeed discovered several Corpse Separation Beast.
By eliminating the source and with the disciples frantically earning contribution points, the undead were dealt with in no time, and the Xuanling Sect received the gratitude of all the mortals in the Wumeng Nation.
The reappearance of the Corpse Separation Beast in the Nine Provinces affected not just one mortal nation. The Xuanling Sect shared this information with other righteous cultivation sects. Where did the cultivation method come from? Who controls it? How big is the threat? Is the demonic path about to make a comeback?
A storm seemed inevitably on its way… Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Tang Xin at the moment. .
.. Xuanling Sect, training ground.
“You,” Tang Xin pointed at the busty female disciple in front of her, speaking sternly, “why are you wearing the sect’s uniform so indecently?”
“I, I didn’t do anything…”
The female disciple said with cold sweat on her forehead.
“Still saying you didn’t do anything,” the head senior sister snorted. “Your clothes are about to burst at the seams, you know? What, you think you’re so great because you have a good figure? You look down on me, don’t you?”
“No, not at all, senior sister! I also think this Taoist robe doesn’t fit very well…”
The female disciple shook her head repeatedly.
“If it doesn’t fit, why don’t you change it? In the end, you still look down on me!” Tang Xin sneered. “Do a hundred push-ups for me, now, immediately!”
Persecution points +15
After returning from the Wumeng Nation, Su Ling and Shui Qiu were both under their masters’ supervision, embarking on a new round of training.
With the main characters not around, even if Tang Xin had millions of strategies in her mind, she couldn’t implement any of them.
Besides, she didn’t have any…
“Sister Tang,” a disciple came over to deliver a message. “Sister Fang Ling is asking you to go to the arena area.”
Speaking of which, three months had passed in the blink of an eye, and the arenas needed for the disciple competition had basically been completed.
Tang Xin inspected the area and, after confirming there were no quality issues, nodded to Fang Ling, the inner disciple responsible for the arena.
“You’ve done well, you’ve worked hard these days.”
“This,” Fang Ling’s face changed drastically after hearing this. “Sister Tang, if there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, please point it out, and we’ll correct it immediately!”
Persecution points +33
Forgot, this person won’t be at ease unless you scold her…
“Hmph, it took you so long to finish, you like to slack off, don’t you? Run ten laps around the arena area!”
“Yes, senior sister!”
【Main storyline objective three has been completed】
Tang Xin put away a highlighted notification.
Unknowingly, she had already obtained ten thousand oppression points from the disciples of Xuanling Sect… Why does it feel like she hasn’t oppressed that many people?
Although she had achieved one goal, Tang Xin couldn’t feel happy at all.
The main storyline had three objectives, all to be completed before the end of the disciple competition.
And now, the disciple competition was about to begin…
…
Several days later.
“The most exciting moment of Xuanling Sect has arrived!”
At the main mountain gate, outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, elders, and monks who were usually busy with their own affairs, all gathered together.
Because…
“The Xuanling Sect disciple competition officially begins!”
