Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 105 Entering the secret realm!
After gesturing for Cao Meng to dispense with the formalities, Zi Xixue pursed her lips and said softly:
"Cao Meng, don't call me Sect Master Zi, it sounds too formal. Just call me Master's Wife!"

After Zi Xixue finished speaking, she kept her eyes fixed on Duanmu Fei, trying to gauge the other party's attitude.

"!!!"

Zi Xixue's words stunned Cao Meng; he sensed that something was wrong!
If Duanmu Fei were a man, then Zi Xixue's statement wouldn't be wrong either.

But Consort Duanmu is a woman. For a moment, Cao Meng seemed to smell the fragrance of flowers, perhaps lilies!

"You unfilial disciple, don't think nonsense. Your master and Zi Xixue are just close friends."

Seeing that this rebellious disciple seemed about to discover the truth, Consort Duanmu quickly interrupted his thoughts with a rebuke, then looked at Zi Xixue and said:
"Xue'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Consort Duanmu was unwilling to acknowledge her relationship with Zi Xixue in front of Cao Meng, after all, her relationship with this traitorous disciple was somewhat delicate.

o (╥﹏╥) o
Zi Xixue was on the verge of tears. Hundreds of years had passed, and her concubine was still unwilling to make their relationship public.

"Xue'er, what do you want with me?"

Seeing Zi Xixue's pitiful and disgraced appearance, Consort Duanmu could only change the subject.

"Fei'er, I have already spoken with my disciples, so they will not take the initiative to attack the Hehuan Sect disciples in the secret realm. They will help you if conditions permit."

Seeing that Cao Meng was still lost in thought, Duanmu Fei quickly signaled him to get lost and told him to explain the alliance with the Beast Soul Sect in order to prevent the truth from being discovered by the traitorous disciple!
……

When the time came for the opening of the Longevity Sword Sect's secret realm, everyone gathered at the altar of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

The Nine-Flower Sword Demon and the Mysterious Spirit Taoist joined forces to use a secret technique, summoning a bronze gate composed of ten thousand spiritual swords, as well as three bronze, silver, and gold puppet sword servants.

The two then each summoned a spirit sword, and through their secret technique, the two spirit swords transformed into two keys that were inserted into the Yin-Yang lock slots.

The three puppet sword servants suddenly opened their pupils, and then the three puppets arranged themselves in the Three Powers formation to open the bronze sword gate, officially opening the secret realm of the Longevity Sword Sect.

As the secret realm of the Longevity Sword Sect opened, Huangfu Ce, the sect leader of the Broken Army Mansion, suddenly turned to the Nine-Flower Sword Demon and the Mysterious Spirit Daoist and asked:

"Sword Inquiry Sect, Demon Sword Sect, why haven't you issued secret realm teleportation jade talismans yet?"

The Secret Realm Teleportation Jade Talisman is a life-saving method within the Longevity Sword Sect's secret realm. When trapped in a desperate situation within the secret realm, crushing the specially made teleportation jade talisman will force you to teleport out of the secret realm.

Only the Sword Inquiry Sect and the Demon Sword Sect can make these special teleportation jade talismans, which is why they have always been responsible for providing them.

"Don't tell us we didn't have any teleportation talismans this time!"

Ye You, the sect leader of the Soul Refining Sect, also spoke up.

The righteous and demonic sects gave the Sword Inquiry Sect and the Demon Sword Sect so many benefits, one of the conditions being that they would provide secret realm teleportation jade talismans.

"Fellow Daoists, these secret realm teleportation jade talismans are quite troublesome to make, so we will not be providing them for free this time."

When Huangfu Ce asked the question, Xuanling Daoist gave a direct answer.

His meaning was clear: the teleportation jade talisman would cost extra.

This time, the Sword Inquiry Sect lost a person with an innate sword body, Han Guang, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, was captured alive by Duanmu Fei and sold to the Old Daoist Kugu, and the sect's reputation was severely damaged.

With the Sword Inquiry Sect suffering such heavy losses, Daoist Xuanling naturally wants to find a way to recover them.

The various sects have realized that now that the Void Refinement stage ancestor of the Sword Inquiry Sect has arrived, Xuanling Daoist has someone backing him up, so they have started to act arrogantly.

On the demonic side, Duanmu Fei, with her fiery temper, couldn't hold back any longer and directly questioned the mute Jiuhua Sword Demon:
"Jiuhua, is this also your intention? For each sect of the demonic path to purchase teleportation jade talismans individually?"

The teleportation jade talismans for the demonic faction were provided by the Demon Sword Sect, so Duanmu Fei needed to give the Nine Hua Sword Demon a definite answer.

"Jiuhua, give us a straight answer so we can give our disciples an explanation."

"Jiuhua, your attitude will determine the attitude of all the sects of the demonic path towards your Demon Sword Sect, so you'd better think it over!"

Blood Demon Sect Master Xue Daozi and Soul Refining Sect Master Ye You both issued threats. Other demonic sects followed suit, also issuing threats against the Demon Sword Sect.

The various sects of the demonic path are not to be trifled with. They are different from the righteous sects, which is why they dare to speak openly about certain things.

"!!!"

The Nine-Flower Sword Demon knew that the benefits of demonic sects were hard to come by, and as for using any kind of faction alliance or righteous cause to coerce these demons, that was simply impossible.

The Nine-Hua Sword Demon felt fortunate that he had prepared in advance and hadn't spoken up at the beginning, instead pretending to be mute.

"Sect Master, I'm late!"

With a loud shout, a Nascent Soul stage expert from the Demon Sword Sect arrived before the Nine Hua Sword Demon, carrying a storage ring.

"I entrusted you with the safekeeping of the teleportation jade talisman, why are you so late?"

"If you hadn't wasted our time, how could our sect have been misunderstood by all of you fellow Daoists!"

The Nine-Flower Sword Demon accepted the storage ring handed to him by the Nascent Soul stage expert, scolded him a few times, and then signaled him to get lost.

Then, the Nine-Hua Sword Demon took out a teleportation jade talisman from the storage ring and distributed it to various sects of the demonic faction.

Through the previous probing, the Nine-Flower Sword Demon had discerned the attitudes of the various sects within the demonic faction.

He knew that if he dared to act like Xuan Ling, these allies in the same camp would probably have their disciples besiege the Demon Sword Sect.

Duanmu Fei and the other sect leaders of the demonic sects all saw through the Nine-Flower Sword Demon's trick.

The saying goes, "If you see through something but don't say it, you can still be good friends. But if you do say it, someone will inevitably feel embarrassed."

After all the members of the demonic faction who entered the secret realm were given teleportation jade tokens, they first entered the Longevity Sword Sect secret realm through the bronze gate.

As for the righteous faction, Xuanling Daoist first signaled his disciples to follow and seize the initiative.

As for these so-called righteous allies, they've been watching the drama unfold for quite a while.

He's not forcing these allies to buy teleportation jade talismans now, since they can enter the secret realm even without them.

Having this thing just adds another layer of protection.

Within the secret realm of the Longevity Sword Sect...

With a flash of blue light, Cao Meng appeared on a snow-capped mountain.

Because the entrance to the secret realm is randomly teleported, he ended up all alone!
"The patriarch of the Longevity Sword Sect is quite formidable!"

Looking at the boundless secret realm, Cao Meng couldn't help but sigh.

The fact that they were able to open up such a vast secret realm demonstrates the capabilities of the Longevity Sword Sect's patriarch.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the patriarch of the Longevity Sword Sect was, he never expected that his unfilial disciples and grand-disciples would actually split up into the Demon Sword Sect and the Sword Inquiry Sect, and the two sects would fight each other all day long.

Cao Meng took out the secret realm guide map that the system had previously rewarded him with, and determined that he was in the north of the secret realm.

This secret realm is arranged according to the Five Elements. The north belongs to water, so the north is either a snow-capped mountain or a glacier.

Cao Meng felt that he was really unlucky, as he had been teleported to an extremely cold place.

Fortunately, it's extremely cold, not bitterly cold; there are still good things to be found in the north.

Following the map, Cao Meng headed towards the nearest treasure location, climbing countless snow-capped mountains before finally arriving at a valley.
