Chapter 413 Becoming the Lord's Slave and Gaining Eternal Life

More than ten minutes later.

When Master Mu Wu returned to normal and opened his eyes, a dark crimson light appeared in the depths of his eyes, flashed by, and quickly disappeared.

The previously severely injured and listless Master Mu now showed no signs of serious injury and appeared full of energy.

Master Mu felt the changes in his body, his eyes gleaming.

Previously, the severe injuries he suffered when he escaped from the Great Zhou had been healed, and his strength had also undergone earth-shattering changes. He had crossed the cycle of reincarnation and entered the realm of half-saint.

Moreover, he wasn't just a beginner in the semi-saint realm; he skipped the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels and reached the level of an invincible semi-saint.

In fact, Master Mu felt that it wouldn't be long before he could comprehend the complete power of the laws, step into the true realm of a saint, and become a saint.

"it is good."

"very good."

"I never expected that not only would my injuries have healed, but my strength would also break through to the level of an invincible half-saint. Heaven has truly spared me!"

Master Mu was excited, his expression was thrilled, and his eyes radiated boundless fervor.

"Yang Zaixing, just wait! The grudge from that day's pursuit will be your death day once I become a saint."

"And the Great Zhou, when the time comes, I will utterly annihilate you."

A crimson light flashed deep within Master Mu's eyes, radiating intense killing intent.

Master Mu Wu had never forgotten the scene of being chased by Yang Zaixing and fleeing like a dog. If he hadn't separated from the Second Elder and fled separately, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to escape with his life.

In the end, even though he escaped and survived, he was completely ruined due to the severe injuries he suffered.

If it weren't for the God's grace, his life would probably have been ruined.

He will definitely avenge this.

"Now that you've recovered and your strength has broken through, I don't need to teach you what to do next!"

A figure appeared silently beside Master Mu.

Master Mu Wu immediately stood up, bowed, and said, “Don’t worry, Demon Envoy, I know what to do. My Mu family’s second Grand Elder is also seriously injured. We can start with my Mu family’s second Grand Elder. I believe that before long, all of my Mu family members will become servants of the Lord and gain eternal life.”

"Let's start with him!"

……

Ziyang Sect.

Since the death of the Supreme Elder of the Ziyang Sect, the atmosphere of the entire Ziyang Sect has been shrouded in gloom, and the previous ease has been lost.

This day.

One after another, figures gathered in the main hall of the Ziyang Sect.

These figures are all high-ranking elders of the Ziyang Sect.

When the elders entered the main hall and saw the figure sitting inside, they were all visibly stunned.

Because the figure sitting in the main hall was the Grand Elder of the Ziyang Sect.

Previously, the Grand Elder led four elders to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the other four elders all died, and only the Grand Elder escaped back to the Ziyang Sect with serious injuries.

Given the severity of the Grand Elder's injuries, even with the best healing medicine, it would take him quite some time to recover; he couldn't possibly recover so quickly.

But now the Grand Elder is sitting in the main hall. Judging from his condition, he doesn't look injured at all.

It's clearly completely healed.

"Elder, have your injuries fully healed?"

An elder spoke up and asked.

The elder nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm fully recovered. After these days of recuperation, my injuries have finally healed completely."

"Furthermore, I also benefited from this misfortune, as it allowed me to take that step in terms of strength."

"what?"

The Grand Elder's words caused a hint of surprise to flash across the faces of all the elders present.

The Grand Elder's statement about taking that step in strength was clear to everyone.

No one expected that the Grand Elder would not only recover from his injuries in such a short time, but also advance his strength to the next level, surpassing the Saint level.

This is truly a blessing in disguise!
"Congratulations, Elder."

"Now, my Ziyang Sect has gained another sage."

Everyone congratulated the Grand Elder.

You should know that becoming a saint is not an easy thing.

Although there is only a fine line between an invincible demigod and a saint, it is generally impossible to take that step without a hundred years of accumulation.

In fact, most people will never take that step.

If becoming a semi-saint is harder than ascending to heaven, then becoming a saint is even harder than ascending to heaven.

The Grand Elder turned misfortune into blessing, taking this step, which made everyone happy.

It's not just because the Grand Elder took this difficult step and became a Saint that we're happy, but also because the sect has gained another Saint.

During this period, the Ziyang Sect suffered heavy losses, first losing four half-saint elders, and then a supreme elder perished in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which reduced the strength of the entire Ziyang Sect by more than one level.

Everyone was worried about whether the Grand Elder would be able to fully recover!
If the Grand Elder cannot fully recover, the overall strength of the Ziyang Sect will decline again.

Unexpectedly, the Grand Elder not only recovered from his injuries in such a short time, but also turned misfortune into blessing, taking that step and achieving the realm of a saint.

This timely replenishment of the combat power lost by the Supreme Elder of the Ziyang Sect prevented the overall strength of the Ziyang Sect from declining by a level.

"There's no need for you all to congratulate me. If you're willing, you all have the opportunity to take that step now. It just depends on whether you're willing or not."

A dark, crimson light flickered deep within the elder's eyes.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, it did not escape the notice of some elders.

"Oh!"

"Elder, what opportunity is it?"

"Elder, how come you have demonic energy on you?"

The elders who were able to enter the sect's main hall were no ordinary people; everyone could sense the fleeting demonic aura emanating from the Grand Elder.

All the elders present frowned and stared at the First Elder, asking him a question.

"Hehe, this is the opportunity I have to speak to you all."

The Grand Elder smiled and stood up, his aura no longer concealed, enveloping the entire hall.

The aura emanated from it, emanating wisps of black energy that felt both magical and repulsive.

"By becoming servants of the Lord, just like me, you can all take that step, become saints, and attain eternal life."

The elder's voice, which sounded like a prayer, rang in everyone's ears and echoed throughout the entire hall.

"This is……"

"Demon species?"

Sensing the repulsive aura and seeing the Elder's unusual demeanor, everyone's expression changed drastically. "Elder, you've actually sided with the Demon Clan!"

Everyone stared at the Grand Elder in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

No one expected that the Grand Elder would be implanted with a demonic seed and defect to the demon race.

It should be understood that the demon race is the mortal enemy of the human race. The human race has only one attitude towards demons: to exterminate them at all costs.

Those who defect to the demon race will be exterminated by the human race.

Now, their Grand Elder of the Ziyang Sect has actually sided with the Demon Clan, something no one had anticipated.

No wonder the Grand Elder recovered from his injuries so quickly and even became a saint; it turns out he had been implanted with a demonic seed and had defected to the demon race.

This time, everyone understood.

"What if we surrender to the demons?"

"As long as one can become a saint and attain eternal life, what difference does it make whether one is a demon or a human? Aren't we all just trying to prove the Great Dao?"

The Grand Elder surveyed the crowd; “Gentlemen, do you not wish to take that step and become a saint? Do you not wish to attain the Great Dao and achieve eternal life?”

“As long as you are willing to become the Lord’s servants, none of this will be a problem. You will be able to go a step further and obtain eternal life immediately.”

"Bah! Demons and monsters, everyone has the right to kill them."

"Elder, you actually betrayed the human race and my Ziyang Sect, and sided with the demon race. You deserve to die. You are delusional to think that we should side with the demon race."

Everyone stood up and gathered together, their auras exploding out as they coldly stared at the Grand Elder.

They were all semi-saints, and facing the Great Elder, who had already taken that step and achieved the power of a saint, only by gathering together and joining forces could they resist and contend with him.

"You all unleashed your power to alert the others in the sect, didn't you?"

"I advise you all not to waste your time. The sect's formation has already been activated, and I have made arrangements around the main hall. You are all within my domain of laws, so nothing you do will make a difference."

"Your only choice is to become servants of the Lord like me and receive eternal life."

The Grand Elder said calmly.

“What are you waiting for? Let them see how fortunate it is to be a servant of the Lord.”

As soon as the Grand Elder finished speaking, streams of demonic energy began to emanate from the gathered elders.

"Become the Lord's servant and receive eternal life."

The elders shouted in unison.

This scene caused the remaining elders' expressions to change drastically.

None of the remaining elders expected that, apart from the Grand Elder, there were others who had been implanted with the demonic seed and had defected to the demon race.

Moreover, there were quite a few of these people; almost half of them emanated demonic energy and had sided with the demons.

"This……"

"how is this possible?"

Seeing so many of their fellow disciples defect to the demons, the elders who had not defected were utterly horrified.

They never imagined that so many people within their sect would have been infected with the demonic seed and defect to the demon race.

The elders in the main hall make up almost 80-90% of the sect's high-level leadership, and half of them have been implanted with the demon seed and have defected to the demon race. What does that mean?
Those elders who had not sided with the demons dared not think any further.

Unbeknownst to them, the demon race had infiltrated the Ziyang Sect to such an extent that half of the sect's high-ranking members had been infected with demonic energy and had defected to the demon race.

How terrifying and horrifying it is to think about.

But they knew that it would definitely not be something the demons could accomplish in a short time.

This is enough to show that the Demon Clan probably began plotting against the Ziyang Sect a long time ago.

However, understanding these things is no longer important. What matters most right now is how to escape the current crisis and thwart the demon race's conspiracy.

"I never imagined that so many of the high-ranking elders of my Ziyang Sect, one of the four top sects in the Eastern Region, would defect to the Demon Clan and become their lackeys."

"Do you think that just because the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder are not here, you can act recklessly in the Ziyang Sect and take over the entire Ziyang Sect?"

“If you think that way, you’re wrong. The sect leader and the supreme elder have left the sect, but the ancestor is still here, and the ancestors who sealed themselves in the cemetery in the back mountain are still here. You are really courting death.”

The Second Elder looked at the First Elder and the elders who had sided with the Demon Clan and spoke coldly, his expression extremely sharp.

As one of the four top sects in the Eastern Region, the Ziyang Sect naturally possesses considerable resources.

Besides the top-tier combat power that is on the surface, such as the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master, there are also several ancestors who are nearing the end of their lifespan and have sealed themselves in the cemetery in the back mountain, as well as the sect's patriarchs. These are all part of the Ziyang Sect's foundation.

Especially the patriarch, who represents the greatest foundation of the entire Ziyang Sect, and the greatest source of confidence that allows the Ziyang Sect to dominate the Eastern Region, firmly occupy one of the four major sects in the Eastern Region, and deter other major forces.

As long as the patriarch is alive, the Ziyang Sect will remain as stable as Mount Tai.

These lackeys who have sided with the demons actually dared to stir up trouble while the sect leader and the supreme elder were no longer around. They are truly courting death.

The other elders who had not sided with the demons lit up with excitement upon hearing the Second Elder's words, and their expressions all changed.

indeed.

The sect still has its patriarch.

The fact that these lackeys who have sided with the demons have caused such a commotion cannot be hidden from the Ancestor.

Once the Ancestor finds out that these people have sided with the Demon Clan, they will definitely die without a burial place. Even the Grand Elder, who has become a Saint, is no exception. In front of the Ancestor, they are simply not worth mentioning.

"Hehe, Second Elder, do you think I wouldn't have thought of something that you could have thought of?"

The Grand Elder couldn't help but sneer, his loyalty and fanaticism evident as he said, "Before the Lord, even the Ancestor cannot defy him and will still become the Lord's servant, gaining eternal life."

Upon hearing the First Elder's words, the Second Elder's pupils constricted, and his expression turned grim.

"Friends, stop resisting. Let us become servants of the Lord, receive His power, and gain eternal life."

This allure, like a demonic chant from the abyss, echoed endlessly within the hall.

Those who did not submit to the demon race, including the Second Elder, were gradually suppressed under the influence of the sinful siren, until they were completely subjugated.

……

at the same time.

Such things are also happening at the Qingyun Sect.

The Second Elder of the Qingyun Sect and the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect who had escaped from the Great Zhou Dynasty were in the sect's main hall, exerting their power over the high-ranking elders gathered there.

"Friends, becoming servants of the Lord will bring eternal life. What are you waiting for? Join us in becoming servants of the Lord and share in His power."

The Second Elder and the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect spoke loudly.

The demonic aura emanating from him was faintly visible, enveloping the entire hall.

At this moment, the Second Elder and the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect were nowhere near the state they had been when they were severely injured by the Great Zhou.

In particular, the Supreme Elder's arm, which had been severed by Guan Yu, had regenerated, and his strength had improved even further.

The Second Elder, who was originally an invincible half-saint, has now taken that step and achieved the realm of a saint.

Both of them were in high spirits and full of energy...
