Chapter 158 Where is such a powerful demon lord?
While the elders were still trying to figure it out, Lan Yue had already opened the system panel and found the information about Sect Master Qing Shi.
[Lan Yue: I knew there was something fishy going on with the Qing Shi Sect. It turns out the sect leader was leading the collaboration with the demons. No wonder the entire sect was parasitized. If the sect leader hadn't let it go, how could the demons have acted so quickly?]
[If the sect leader of the Azure Stone Sect intentionally pushed his sect into the abyss, then it would explain why the original text describes the sect killing so many human prodigies during the Four Regions Grand Competition.]
[The sect leader doesn't care, and all the thousands of people in this sect are parasitic. The demons are even receiving a constant stream of reinforcements. When the competition comes, they'll all be confined to small secret realms; escape will be difficult.]
This heartfelt sentiment was deeply moving.
However, the group of Qing Shi Sect disciples and elders who had come to buy pills and array plates were completely dumbfounded.
Especially the elder who led his disciples to the ruins of Jueling Island, who had a fiery temper, was furious that so many of his disciples had died.
It's no good for any sect to lose a bunch of disciples! In the end, the sect attracted demons, and the sect leader himself was the one who provoked the sect to become parasitized by demonic energy!
How could they not hate them? So, several elders at the Golden Core stage immediately drew their swords and charged menacingly toward the place where the sect leader had fainted.
The group of Qing Shi Sect disciples behind them looked terrified, bewildered, and at a loss.
Knowing that the sect where they have lived for so many years is actually a "devil's den," who can remain calm?
So they rushed down with the elders, and in a short time, the group surrounding Lingyue Peak disappeared, having gone to question their sect leader.
Lan Yue assumed that the group of people were in a hurry to restore their hair, so she didn't pay any attention.
She was still discussing with Yunxi the possibility of finding more magic cores to refine more hair growth pills.
Although the people of the Qing Shi Sect have recovered, with the large-scale invasion of the Demon Clan in the future, many more people will definitely lose their thick hair, which will be a business opportunity!
Yunxi wholeheartedly agreed, and she has already begun to study how to get rich.
The two huddled together again to discuss the matter of succession, while the elders not far away were still in shock.
The Fifth Elder's voice changed. He really couldn't understand it. The Qing Shi Sect was quite powerful, with at least several thousand members.
The number of people living on those mountain peaks is almost equal to that of the disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect. As the sect leader of such a sect, why would he voluntarily step into the abyss?
No wonder the sect leader of the Qing Shi Sect suffered the least backlash; he probably already fell into demonic possession long ago.
Only by becoming a true demon can one resist most of the backlash when one's cultivation level increases so rapidly, since this is originally a secret technique of the demon race.
The Sixth Elder, who was gulping down wine from the wine jug, let out a burp and analyzed, "Perhaps it's because of his injuries? I remember Xiao Lanyue mentioning before that the Sect Master of the Qing Shi Sect suffered a serious injury in his early years, and his cultivation could not improve at all, so he wanted to send Elder Xing to search for a holy medicine for healing."
"If the demons promise to heal his injuries, even help him improve his cultivation, and bring him a continuous stream of benefits in the future, then it's not impossible."
The Fifth Elder sighed again: "It is indeed very difficult for a sect leader at the peak of the Golden Core stage to manage such a large sect, and it is also difficult to win the respect of the people."
The Second Elder glanced at everyone, his expression still very serious: "This is not a reason for the Qing Shi Sect Master to actively cooperate with the Demon Clan and harm thousands of people in the entire sect."
"And have you forgotten what Lan Yue just mentioned? According to the original book in Xiao Lan Yue's mind, the Qing Shi Sect, which is controlled by the Demon Clan, will appear in the Four Regions Grand Competition and kill countless human prodigies."
"After all this time, don't you understand what that original book really represents? It records the future of the cultivation world."
"If it weren't for Xiao Lanyue's timely reminder and the intervention of our Nanling Sect, the Qing Shi Sect might have really developed to this point, with unimaginable consequences."
After the Second Elder's reminder, the other elders were also instantly stunned.
Yes, how could they have forgotten this point before? If things had gone according to the original story, the Qing Shi Sect would have harmed countless people.
Seeing that everyone had listened to him, the Second Elder raised his eyes again, his expression calm: "Moreover, even if we have now resolved the crisis of the Azure Stone Sect and even found out the cause, who knows if other sects might also be controlled by the Demon Clan?"
"The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. At this time, we should not be celebrating, but contact all the sects in the four regions and ask them to investigate thoroughly together."
"Even if we don't find out, we must prepare in advance for the Four Regions Grand Competition. We must not let our clan's prodigy lose his life again."
The other elders' expressions tightened; it seemed they were about to be even busier.
However, being able to deal with the demons, no one dared to be complacent.
Just as the entire Nanling Sect was in operation, a winged black snake quietly flew into the mountains surrounding the Nanling Sect.
Behind him followed an invisible burrowing rat and a small blue snake.
"Demon Lord, don't fly so fast, we can't keep up!"
The mole was panting heavily from exhaustion.
However, when it looked up again, the demon lord who had been flapping its wings just moments before had completely disappeared.
The two little demons froze.
Where are their powerful demon lords?
