Chapter 176 - Chapter 376: Treasure

The black-clad man said in a low voice, "This treasure is indeed somewhat extraordinary, it's a porcelain bottle that continuously produces a kind of liquid. With just a single drop, it can instantly conceal evil and demonic aura, making demons and wicked cultivators appear no different from righteous cultivators. After he used it, this subordinate verified it through various methods, there was truly not a single trace left behind!"

"Such a thing exists?" Even Yang Yun was surprised this time.

With his own abilities, he couldn't guarantee complete concealment. If an expert conducted a careful inspection, he would still reveal flaws.

Yet this Blood Daoist could leave no trace?

"With this treasure in hand, Blood Daoist's plan is to disguise themselves as righteous cultivators and secretly seize control of Canglan Kingdom. The sects have never been fond of dynasty cultivators. As long as they don't attack sects and only move against mortals, and as long as no demonic aura is discovered, the Demon-Destroying Alliance won't intervene. Once Canglan Kingdom is fully occupied, they can gradually expand their forces. One day, even the Central Plains can be turned into the domain of our Demon Clan."

The black-clad man spoke with faint longing.

Individually, the Demon Clan was far stronger than the human race.

Their current disadvantage lay in numbers.

And their top-tier combat strength still lagged behind humanity.

That's why they didn't dare act openly within human territory.

Once exposed, the Demon-Destroying Alliance would mobilize at once, the Demon Clan couldn't afford such losses.

But if their aura could be perfectly concealed, and they could gradually seize mortal kingdoms to develop their strength, then by the time the Demon-Destroying Alliance noticed, it might already be too late!

Yang Yun was genuinely intrigued now, "Is it really that miraculous?"

The black-clad man nodded repeatedly, "Your subordinate is especially skilled in detection arts. Yet Blood Daoist's disguise was indeed flawless."

Yang Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That is interesting indeed. But what does this have to do with Zhao Wuji?"

The black-clad man lowered his voice further, "Zhao Wuji has also joined Blood Dao Sect, he is now one of its deacons."

Yang Yun's expression instantly changed!

Zhao Wuji?

He was a member of Blood Dao Sect?

Wasn't that a subordinate of his subordinate?

Yang Yun curled his lips, "Interesting."

It was Zhao Wuji who had personally ordered him punished as a laborer.

He, the Demon Lord, had endured such humiliation.

Yang Yun had long planned that once he fully recovered, he would ensure that not a single chicken or dog remained alive in Tianxing Sect.

And yet, that Zhao Wuji turned out to be his own person!

"That's right. Zhao Wuji also consumed that liquid, that's why Your Excellency failed to detect anything unusual about him. This subordinate only discovered his identity recently when he began gathering members of Blood Dao Sect. Blood Daoist confirmed that Zhao Wuji has been converted. If Your Excellency uses the Blood Demon Art, you can easily control his life." The black-clad man continued solemnly, "Zhao Wuji seems to plan to use Blood Dao Sect to massacre Tianxing Sect, this subordinate found the matter rather interesting and thus dared to invite Your Excellency to hear it."

Yang Yun's expression grew increasingly strange.

Zhao Wuji was the Sect Master of Tianxing Sect, and now he planned to have his own sect slaughtered?

"Due to certain matters, Zhao Wuji now holds only the title of sect master without any real authority," the black-clad man added.

Recalling the situation in the great hall that day, Yang Yun understood.

A cold smile appeared on his lips.

Originally, he planned to leave at once.

But now, there's no need to rush.

"To personally slaughter Tianxing Sect, this Zhao Wuji has truly been blinded by hatred. Utterly foolish," Yang Yun said with disdain.

"Your Excellency means…?"

Yang Yun replied coldly, "Hasn't Mo Luo been searching for me? Go, leak my whereabouts! Let Mo Luo come find me himself."

The black-clad man was a bit puzzled.

Yang Yun smiled, "If Zhao Wuji acts personally, he can only fall into the demonic path and flee into exile afterward, I rather like his sect master identity. I have no wish for him to abandon it so soon. If handled properly, we can destroy Tianxing Sect and at the same time grant Zhao Wuji immense merit, allowing him to reclaim full control of the sect."

"And since that liquid is so miraculous, summon the Phantom Demon Clan. Let them consume the liquid and assume the appearances of Tianxing Sect disciples. We will proceed slowly, bit by bit. After some time, Tianxing Sect from top to bottom will have been entirely replaced by our people!"

"No matter how formidable Ji Wusi may be, he will never suspect that we have secretly occupied a mid-tier sect."

A profound smile curved Yang Yun's lips.

The black-clad man froze briefly, then instantly exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of Your Excellency, your wisdom is unparalleled."

Yang Yun cast him a somewhat disdainful glance.

The Demon Clan possessed innate strength and cultivated more easily than humans.

But two weaknesses ensured their suppression by humanity.

First, difficulty in reproduction.

Second, there's limited intelligence among most demons.

Yang Yun was an anomaly, he was a rare human-demon hybrid.

Such hybrids rarely survived birth, usually dying from bloodline conflict. Those who did survive endured immense suffering and seldom lived beyond three years.

Yang Yun was the only perfect human-demon hybrid.

From birth, the two bloodlines within him fused flawlessly.

He possessed the Demon Clan's cultivation speed and power.

And the human race's intelligence and comprehension.

In his early years, he had endured discrimination for his mixed blood, but the Demon Clan revered strength above all. Once he grew powerful, he secured his footing in the Demon Realm.

Through strategy and force, he rose to become the sole Demon Lord!

However, he achieved that position within a mere century. Although strongest in power, his foundation within the Demon Clan was too shallow.

Traditionally, the Demon Lord's position rotated among three superior demon clans. He belonged to none of them and his mother had even been of a lower demon clan.

Although he seized the throne by force, he never fully earned the superior clans' loyalty and trust.

Under his schemes and suppression, they outwardly submitted.

But months ago, when he was gravely injured and forced to leave the Demon Realm, those superior clans were undoubtedly restless!

Especially that Mo Luo!

He was a member of the superior Eye Demon Clan, and second only to Yang Yun in strength.

Now that Yang Yun had suffered misfortune, Mo Luo would certainly do everything possible to prevent his return to the Demon Realm.

If Mo Luo learned of his whereabouts, Yang Yun was sure that he would spare no effort to kill him.

Even if Mo Luo couldn't come personally, his hidden forces in this region would definitely mobilize against Tianxing Sect.

Thus, let Mo Luo's people carry out the slaughter of Tianxing Sect.

As for himself?

The script would be simple.

A mere child, in order to resist the Demon Clan, actually didn't hesitate to risk their life, how bravely he struggles!

And that Zhao Wuji would also be a heroic defender against demons!

Eliminating Mo Luo's forces would weaken Mo Luo and win the trust of the Demon-Destroying Alliance.

Wouldn't this be two birds with one stone.

Yang Yun even entertained another thought.

If that liquid really concealed demonic aura flawlessly, he could remain hidden within Tianxing Sect indefinitely!

He would grant Tianxing Sect and Zhao Wuji achievements, elevating their status step by step.

When Tianxing Sect eventually rose to be an upper or even super sect, it would provide him even greater benefits.

And when the truth was finally revealed, when Ji Wusi and the others discovered that a Demon Lord had long been hidden within a human sect, who knows how amusing would their expressions be!

The more Yang Yun thought about it, the brighter his smile grew.

Interesting.

Things were becoming more and more interesting indeed.
