Chapter 87: Lord of Demons, Xiao Yao's Challenge

Ninth Layer of the Void Fusion Realm!

The number one Prodigy of the Heavenly Immortal Manor from five thousand years ago!

The sole survivor of the ancient Lingxiao Sect!

Blinded in both eyes by heavenly punishment!

Just a single line of text made Han Jue smell the word "awesome".

Such a background actually wasn't a Bearer of Connate Providence.

Han Jue asked, "Have you heard of the Lingxiao Sect?"

Li Qingzi replied, "I have heard of it. It's said to have been a great Sect five thousand years ago, but it offended immortals and gods, bringing down a heavenly disaster that wiped out the entire Sect. Elder Han, why are you asking about the Lingxiao Sect? Could it be that the ruins we discovered belong to the Lingxiao Sect?"

Han Jue nodded and said, "I know a bit of divination. This person is named Xiao Yao, and he comes from the Lingxiao Sect."

Hearing this, Li Qingzi widened his eyes and drew in a sharp breath.

He had never heard of Xiao Yao's reputation, but he had heard of the Lingxiao Sect.

"Then what should we do now? Abandon those ruins?" Li Qingzi asked cautiously.

Right now, he was afraid of running into unprovoked disasters and only hoped that the Jade Purity Sect could develop peacefully. As long as they were given time, the Jade Purity Sect would sooner or later grow stronger and become a great Sect like the Blood Flame Heavenly Gate and the Formless Sect.

Han Jue replied, "It's up to you. If it were easy to incur heavenly condemnation, it would have happened long ago. I think as long as we don't let the Lingxiao Sect reappear in the Mortal world, it's fine. Treasures are innocent."

Li Qingzi nodded. It would be difficult to make him spit out those resources; after all, the Elders had already divided up quite a lot of them.

"For now, let's ignore Xiao Yao and treat him well with good food and drinks. A forced melon is not sweet," Han Jue added.

Li Qingzi had no objections. Hearing that Xiao Yao came from the Lingxiao Sect, his first reaction was to expel Xiao Yao.

But upon second thought, he couldn't even beat Xiao Yao, so how could he expel him?

Soon after, Li Qingzi left.

Han Jue began using the Simulation Trial to battle Xiao Yao.

Ten seconds later.

Han Jue opened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.

"This fellow has some tricks up his sleeve; his Divine Ability is far too cowardly," Han Jue muttered to himself.

Xiao Yao actually knew the Clone Divine Ability, instantly splitting into tens of thousands of Clones, which prevented Han Jue from instantly killing him at the very first moment.

Being able to last for ten seconds under Han Jue's hands meant that his strength could be considered formidable.

Han Jue continued the Simulation Trial.

He wanted to find a way to instantly kill Xiao Yao.

It felt like finding a walkthrough for fighting monsters, and Han Jue was happily immersed in it.

An incense stick's time later.

Han Jue finally found a way to instantly kill Xiao Yao—he just needed to be faster than this bastard.

However, Xiao Yao cast his Clone Divine Ability the moment the fight started, truly being extremely cowardly.

After understanding Xiao Yao's strength, Han Jue became even more interested in him.

If such an expert were to join the Jade Purity Sect, he could Cultivate with even greater peace of mind.

Soon after, Han Jue opened his interpersonal relationships to check the mail.

[Your disciple Su Qi was captured by the Lord of Demons]

[Your disciple Su Qi spread bad Luck, causing the Luck of the Lord of Demons and his descendants to decline]

[Your disciple Yang Tiandong was attacked by Yao Beasts] x3872

[Your divine pet Chaos Heavenly Dog was attacked by a Vicious Beast, sustained heavy injuries, and narrowly escaped]

[Your friend Zhou Fan awakened a past-life Divine Ability, and his strength greatly increased]

[Your friend Guan Yougang was attacked by Devil Cultivators] x2

[Your divine pet Black Hell Chicken devoured the Divine Beast Vermilion Beast, transforming its Bloodline and gaining calamity Luck]

[Your friend Daoist Qingxian was attacked by Righteous Path Cultivators] x5823

…

Daoist Qingxian came from the Blood Flame Heavenly Gate. Having been attacked by so many people, it looked like the war between the Blood Flame Heavenly Gate and the Formless Sect had begun.

Su Qi and Yang Tiandong had also run into trouble.

As for Su Qi, Han Jue was not worried at all.

As for Yang Tiandong, this bastard had obviously left the Great Yan. Within the Great Yan, which monsters would dare to attack a Demon King's adopted son?

The Chaos Heavenly Dog could also be considered to be suffering retribution. Since it hadn't been beaten recently, it was probably hiding somewhere to heal its injuries.

He hoped it could suddenly see the light and return soon.

Han Jue shook his head with a chuckle, then continued to Cultivate.

Han Jue, who was at the Second Layer of the Body Integration Realm, was no longer afraid of the Blood Flame Heavenly Gate or the Formless Sect. However, if one has no near-term worries, they must have long-term concerns.

Han Jue feared that the Vermilion Bird might break through the boundary and descend to the Mortal world at any time, so he had to seize the time to Cultivate and not slack off.

…

Deep inside a dim canyon, a disheveled Su Qi sat cross-legged in the corner of a cliff wall, looking nervously at a figure in the distance.

That person was enshrouded in Devilish Qi. With a terrifying visage and a face covered in blood-red scales, they looked grim and horrifying.

Su Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Lord of Demons, I am merely a Mortal; please let me go!"

The Lord of Demons still kept his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged to Cultivate.

Su Qi was angry but dared not speak out.

After a moment.

The Lord of Demons said leisurely, "Kid, if this seat wanted to kill you, you would already be dead. Being able to keep you until now—this is an Opportunity. Just wait obediently."

An Opportunity?

Su Qi widened his eyes and asked cautiously, "Are you going to pass down supreme arts to me?"

He was excited. Could this be the legendary blessing in disguise?

"Perhaps. This seat cannot thoroughly calculate your destiny, but I can see that your Luck is extraordinary. Perhaps you can inherit this seat's mantle. If this seat cannot fulfill my wish in the future, it will be handed over to you," the Lord of Demons replied offhandedly.

Su Qi pressed, "What wish?"

"Drown the Mortal world in blood."

Su Qi was stunned.

As expected of the Lord of Demons!

Since that's the case, I will lie low here and look for an Opportunity to kill him!

Su Qi thought silently to himself.

He had always felt that he was a kind person, and when he originally joined the Jade Purity Sect, it was because he valued the Jade Purity Sect as a Righteous Path Sect.

He even felt that Han Jue sending him to infiltrate the Demon Taming Sect was meant to act on behalf of the heavens and eliminate evil. After joining the Demon Taming Sect, he discovered that this Sect was indeed cruel, evil, and intolerable to the Heavenly Dao.

Su Qi took a deep breath, his gaze turning firm.

No matter what, Master was definitely protecting him in secret; he couldn't let Master down.

…

Time flew by.

A decade of time passed in the blink of an eye.

Han Jue was still a bit away from the Third Layer of the Body Integration Realm. He had originally planned to break through to the Third Layer of the Body Integration Realm in one go before resting, but the fusang tree started shaking again.

The last time it shook, it attracted the Divine Beast Vermilion Beast. What would it attract this time?

Han Jue couldn't help but worry.

Continuing like this was not a solution either.

What should he do?

He suddenly thought of the Black Hell Chicken.

What if he let the Black Hell Chicken occupy the fusang tree? Would other Demonic Birds and Divine Beasts stop coming?

Han Jue immediately instructed the Black Hell Chicken to move onto the fusang tree.

After devouring the Vermilion Beast, the Black Hell Chicken's cultivation had soared to the Ninth Layer of the Soul Transformation Realm, only a step away from the Void Fusion Realm.

This was simply like hacking!

But thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The Vermilion Beast might be a Divine Beast, and the Black Hell Chicken itself was the Reincarnation of a Demon Saint from the Upper Realm.

After receiving the instructions, the Black Hell Chicken showed no resistance and was even very excited. It quickly flew to the fusang tree and sat on the trunk like a rooster hatching eggs.

Over the next few days, the fusang tree stopped shaking, and Han Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Han Jue was about to continue to Cultivate, he suddenly caught a wisp of aura right at the foot of the mountain, waiting in front of the stone tablet of the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality.

The blind Xiao Yao!

Han Jue thought for a moment and sent a voice transmission to ask, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"

Xiao Yao had graying hair, but his face was quite young, looking to be around thirty years old. His eyelids were charred black, withered, and sunken. He wore a tattered Taoist robe and leaned against the stone tablet, seemingly dozing off.

Hearing Han Jue's voice transmission, he stretched lazily, slowly stood up, and said, "Your Sect Master has constantly been inviting me to join the Sect. I've stayed in the Jade Purity Sect for quite some time now. You must be that strongest God Slaying Elder, right? If you want me to join the Jade Purity Sect, that's fine too. If you can represent the Jade Purity Sect and withstand a strike from me, I will join the Jade Purity Sect."
