Chapter 503: Chapter 505 Summoning Demon Sect
“`
“Rest assured, how could the White Robe Sword Sect possibly fail to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil? Some false demon cults are indeed acting absurdly due to the delusion of evil teachings, but the true demon cults are like pests, eroding everything and continually making poisonous moves against us, the righteous people. These scum must not be tolerated one bit, for indulgence will only lead them to become rampant and bring disaster to others,” Lin Zhong said earnestly.
“Alright, I’ll accompany you. Setting aside exorcising demons for a moment, at the very least I can ensure the safety of your younger disciples,” Zhu Minglang said.
“That would be most appreciated!” Lin Zhong responded.
“Both of you should also take these Tracking Talismans. They will help better identify demon cult members, for many of them like to disguise themselves as commoners. However, as long as they use their wicked magic, these talismans will ensure they have nowhere to hide,” Ming Xiu came over and handed Zhu Minglang several pieces of talisman paper.
It wasn’t just Zhu Minglang who received this special talisman paper; the hall masters distributed some to each member of the White Robe Sword Sect.
It seemed that after yesterday’s test with talisman paper, they were confident that these papers would help them find the disciples of the demon sect.
Zhu Minglang, holding these talismans, deliberately slowed his pace and followed behind the white-clad swordsmen.
The demon sect woman Ye Youying probably did not expect the situation to suddenly turn out like this. She wore a somber expression and said nothing.
…
Everyone followed Leader Lei to the demon sect stronghold, rushing through the forest. The ones with high cultivation could tread on the canopy, moving swiftly atop the trees, while the middle-aged swordsman Zheng Mei, a master from the Flying Sword Sect with high cultivation and sword realm, flew with sword control, clearly a high-ranking figure within her faction.
Zhu Minglang trailed leisurely behind the Sword Sect disciples, but with so many eyes on him, he had no chance to run away…
Mainly because the morale of these white-robed swordsmen was simply too strong, and they had no concerns whatsoever. In such an atmosphere, Zhu Minglang was essentially put on the battlefield against his will. If he had known it would turn out this way, he wouldn’t have brought up the Yaoshan Sword Sect.
However, since there was demon sect activity, it might be worth checking out. For every Sword Master, exorcising demons and defending the path is part of their training, including refining their hearts amidst the red dust of the world. It’s one of the paths leading to the pinnacle of Sword Dao. Controlling emotions, discerning good from evil, whether a hypocrite or a true swordsman, all these forge the will and spirit of a Sword Master!
“What is your Summoning Demon Sect planning to do?” Zhu Minglang inquired of Ye Youying.
Having an authentic demon sect woman by his side, and a member of the Summoning Demon Sect at that, there must be some knowledge she possessed given the great commotion.
In fact, Zhu Minglang began to suspect that Ye Youying herself was trying to lure him into a trap, and when an unexpected issue arose, she had to seek his help.
No matter what the situation was, Zhu Minglang wouldn’t let Ye Youying out of his sight.
There were simply too many people with appealing appearances but venomous hearts. From the very beginning, Zhu Minglang had never truly helped the demon sect woman Ye Youying in any meaningful way. Just like the White Robe Sword Sect’s approach, he detained her without clear knowledge of her true situation!
“I know nothing!” Ye Youying answered.
“If you say nothing, then I can’t help you either. I see that Master Zheng Mei seems to loathe your demon sect to the core. I might as well tell her the real situation of last night,” Zhu Minglang feigned impatience.
Being dependent on others, where is the pride coming from?
“`
Zhu Minglang wasn’t one to covet her beauty.
Like a very gorgeous flower, if he were to step on it when landing his foot, out of an instinctive pity for beautiful things, Zhu Minglang would shift his stride, but if that stunning flower were not only poisonous but also attracted many venomous bees towards him, then it would be better to just trample it to death.
“Why haven’t you got a single principle? You said you would help me hide!” the Demon Sect’s woman Ye Youying said indignantly.
“A helping hand, of course, can be offered, but if it’s so troublesome, then that’s another story. Besides, we’re merely passing strangers, I used my Yaoshan Sword Sect’s reputation to vouch for you, yet you still have things you’re hiding from me at a time when two great forces are on the verge of a decisive battle. Do you really think I, Zhu Minglang, am some naive, warm-hearted swordsman fresh from the countryside? And please, don’t say things like your clothing being a memento from your mother last night; I’d rather hear you say you’re a witch who kills without batting an eye…” Zhu Minglang said.
Biting her lip, the Demon Sect’s woman Ye Youying thought of simply walking away.
But realizing that each of the thousands of white-clad swordsmen held a Tracking Talisman, and that she would be targeted the moment she used any spell, discarded that idea. Moreover, the Moon Cassock was still in Zhu Minglang’s possession.
“The Demon Summoning Technique is not an evil art, and our Summoning Demon Sect had never done anything outrageous. But because of an incident that happened during the winter, our Summoning Demon Sect has been regarded as heretics by all the forces of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent…” Ye Youying finally spoke up.
“What’s the incident? Tell me about it, and I’ll be the judge,” Zhu Minglang said.
Ye Youying gave Zhu Minglang a look and snorted coldly.
Judging indeed, do you see yourself as the leader of the martial alliance? Whether a sect is righteous or evil is for the leaders of the Four Major Sect Clans to decide. You, a young Sword Master from the Yaoshan Sword Sect, may have a high Sword Territory, but you have absolutely no say in this matter!
“A woman, she defined our Summoning Demon Sect as an evil sect, and commanded all the orthodox forces to capture members of our Summoning Demon Sect. How could our Summoning Demon Sect sit still and wait for death!” Ye Youying exclaimed angrily.
“Which woman had such an incredible reach?” Zhu Minglang inquired.
The Demon Summoning Technique of the Summoning Demon Sect is indeed a sensitive matter, as their demon summoning ability is far less stable than that of the Dragon Shepherds’ dragon training. Sometimes, the summoned demons may lose control, posing threats to innocent people.
But even Pu Hanrong of the Pu Clan practiced this Divine and Mortal art, which shows that it was acknowledged by the major powers before, and was not considered an evil art…
“Humph, it’s one of your Sword Sects too. The Miao Mountain Sword Sect Leader, Meng Bingci.” Ye Youying mentioned this person with evident hatred on her face.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Minglang maintained a calm exterior but was deeply shocked inside!
What’s going on???
Meng Bingci single-handedly branded the entire Summoning Demon Sect as an evil sect???
“Cough cough, a great Sect Leader taking action against your Summoning Demon Sect must have had her reasons, right? What exactly did your Summoning Demon Sect do to bring upon yourselves the joint condemnation of the noble sects?” Zhu Minglang continued to ask smoothly.
“They just fear us, they worry that once we fully control this ability, we’ll completely crush the Four Great Sect Clans. That’s why they’re relentlessly pursuing us!” Ye Youying said.
