Chapter 244: Zhengqi Sect Sect Master

"Alright, now that only one person remains, I can properly execute my plan!" Qin Ming muttered.

Since the qixin grass could not be found for the time being, Qin Ming planned to first kill a few Qixin Sect Elders to reduce the Qixin Sect's strength as much as possible.

If a few Qixin Sect Elders died on the battlefield, the blame would likely fall on the Zhengqi Sect, allowing Qin Ming to act without restraint.

Taking a set of Zhengqi Sect robes and an identity token from his space ring, then consuming a divine form pill, Qin Ming transformed into a genuine Zhengqi Sect Disciple.

Finding a hidden cave, Qin Ming hid inside and began to Cultivate.

The battle had just begun and would likely take some time to escalate, so he had no time to wander around the battlefield; he would just wait until the final decisive battle to participate.

Soon, seven days had passed, and the number of Martial Artists coming and going on the battlefield had increased significantly, with Martial Grandmasters and Martial Ancestors occasionally joining the fray.

A few more days passed, and suddenly the number of Martial Artists on the battlefield dropped sharply; Qin Ming knew that the decisive battle between the two sides was imminent.

Qin Ming stood up, stretched his limbs, and ran toward the Zhengqi Sect's base camp.

"Drive the Qixin Sect out! This Secret Realm belongs to our Zhengqi Sect!"

"The people of the Demon Sect deserve to die! Kill all the Demon Sect members and restore purity to the world!"

From afar, Qin Ming heard the Zhengqi Sect's slogans, so he shouted along loudly and blended into the group of several thousand people.

He was not at all worried that his appearance would be scrutinized, as many Zhengqi Sect Disciples had just arrived from afar to join the ranks.

Sure enough, after Qin Ming blended into the ranks, no one stopped him at all.

It stood to reason that Demon Sect Disciples would not be bold enough to infiltrate a group of several thousand people.

"Brother! Where are you all heading?" Qin Ming asked, pulling aside a Disciple wearing short sleeves.

"Where else? We're going to destroy the Qixin Sect, of course! The Sect Master and Elders are already at the front; our Zhengqi Sect will definitely win this time!" the Disciple in short sleeves replied as if it were obvious.

Qin Ming nodded and shouted, "Zhengqi Sect will win! Zhengqi Sect will win!"

The massive crowd surged toward their destination, and Zhengqi Sect Disciples nearby who heard the commotion gathered to join the ranks; by the time they reached their destination, the group had grown to nearly five thousand people.

"Victory to the Sect Master! Victory to the Zhengqi Sect!" the crowd roared toward the High Platform.

More than a dozen people stood atop the High Platform; they were none other than the Sect Master and Elders of the Zhengqi Sect.

A middle-aged man wearing silver-white armor and carrying a greatsword stood majestically; he raised a hand, and the crowd below fell silent.

"Our Zhengqi Sect has been at odds with the Qixin Sect for over two hundred years. This time, we will settle the score with the Qixin Sect. We shall destroy these Devil Heads who plague the common people and restore justice to the world!"

"Destroy the Devil Heads and restore justice to the world!"

"Destroy the Devil Heads and restore justice to the world!" the Disciples roared.

The middle-aged man continued, "All Zhengqi Sect Disciples participating in this battle are heroes. After the battle concludes, you will be rewarded based on your contributions. All resources obtained this time will be distributed among you; the Sect will not take a single cent!"

The Disciples immediately began to discuss excitedly.

Qin Ming thought to himself, "That sounds nice, but if the qixin grass appeared before you, you would likely destroy anyone who dared to snatch your spirit plant. 'Not taking a single cent'—that just refers to the low-end loot. Once you possess the entire Secret Realm and the qixin grass, everything else is worthless!"
