I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 412 The Fiancé Makes a Dazzling Appearance! Daoist Master: You Dare to Touch My Man?
"The one on the high platform is Zi Wenzhong, the master of Qiyun Peak, who is also one of the few remaining grandmasters in the world today."

"In terms of strength, Peak Master Zi is indeed still some distance from being a Supreme, but if we only consider his understanding of martial arts, he is on par with even the Sect Master!"

"Senior Brother Chen is lucky. On his first visit to the sect, he happened to be receiving teachings from Peak Master Zi. If he can comprehend even a little of it, it will definitely be of great help to his future cultivation..."

"Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Chen?"

Chai Haochuan muttered to himself for a long time, but no one responded. When he turned his head, he found that Chen Mo had already disappeared.

"What about people?"

"Where have you gone?"

Chen Mo silently bypassed the crowd and came to stand behind Shen Zhixia.

She was dressed in a dark martial arts robe, sitting on the ground with a plate on her lap, which she had somehow acquired. On the plate was a stack of letters. She was resting her chin on one hand and holding a charcoal pencil in the other, deep in thought with a furrowed brow.

Chen Mo peeked over and took a look. He saw a line of neat regular script written on the paper:

[Brother Jin Yan, it's like seeing you in person. It's been over two months since we parted in the capital. I wonder if you and your parents are doing well...]

"No, no, isn't this writing style a bit too unnatural?"

Shen Zhixia shook her head, tore the letter into pieces, and crushed it into crumbs.

Then I picked up my pen again and wrote:

[Brother, when are you coming to see me? I'm getting angry if you don't come soon! And I won't be able to appease you! o(≧口≦)o!!]

To emphasize the point, a frustrated expression was drawn at the back.

"But what if Brother Chen Mo is really busy?"

"I've heard there's been a lot of trouble in Kyoto lately, he must be overwhelmed. Wouldn't pressuring him like this put a lot of pressure on him?"

Shen Zhixia hesitated for a moment, then tore the letter into pieces again.

"Sigh, I wonder what my brother is doing now. I haven't heard from him at all in so long... With so many girls around him, could he have already forgotten about me?"

"Bad brother, stinky brother, I hate you so much..."

Shen Zhixia drew a little person on the paper, muttered to herself, and poked a face full of pockmarks with a charcoal pencil.

"Who on earth could make you so angry? Tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson for you." A male voice came from beside him.

"No need, mind your own business..."

At first, Shen Zhixia thought it was a fellow disciple coming to talk to her, and subconsciously wanted to retort.

He immediately realized that the voice was somewhat familiar, and turned his head sharply to see the person he had been thinking about day and night squatting beside him with a faint smile on his lips.

"Long time no see, little bug sister."

? !
She was completely stunned, her eyes filled with not only bewilderment but also disbelief.

"What, have you forgotten me after all this time apart?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Shen Zhixia came to her senses, patted her cheeks hard to make sure it wasn't a hallucination, her small mouth immediately pursed, and her clear black and white eyes became misty.

"elder brother!"

"Waaaaah, you're finally here! I've missed you so much..."

Shen Zhixia suddenly threw herself into his arms, all the grievances and joy welling up in her heart at the same time. Overwhelmed by emotions, she couldn't control herself and burst into tears.

"I missed you too. I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately. Actually, I should have come a long time ago." Chen Mo reached out and ruffled her hair, his eyes filled with apology.

He always felt somewhat indebted to Shen Zhixia.

Simply tearing up the marriage certificate in public caused the Shen family to lose face, yet she never mentioned it to me.

As more and more girls surrounded him, the time left for the two of them to be alone became pitifully short. As his official fiancée, she had no complaints and processed all her emotions alone, always presenting a smiling face in front of him.

"Alright, there are people watching over us," Chen Mo said in a low voice.

Shen Zhixia then noticed that the lecture on the platform had stopped sometime earlier, and the surroundings were completely silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

She climbed out of Chen Mo's arms, rubbed her eyes, looked up, and her expression immediately froze.

The thousands of disciples present all turned to look at her, their expressions a mixture of surprise and curiosity. Clearly, she had been too excited and hadn't controlled her voice, so everything she said had been overheard.

"what!"

Shen Zhixia gasped and hurriedly hid behind Chen Mo, her cheeks flushed red, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

"Big news! Big news!"

"Am I seeing things? Senior Sister Shen is actually hugging a strange man?"

"Isn't she uninterested in everything except eating and practicing meditation?"

"I remember Senior Sister Shen once said that she had a fiancé in Kyoto. I thought she was just bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true?"

"I must say, this young man is quite handsome, and he seems to be a good match for Junior Sister Shen."

"I wonder what their family's financial situation is like. They might just be bankrupted by my senior sister again..."

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, the air thick with gossip.

Chai Haochuan was stunned by what he saw.

"So the person Senior Sister Shen has been thinking about day and night is him?"

"Wait a minute, I remember hearing that name somewhere before... Isn't the number one on the Azure Cloud Ranking named Chen Mo?!"

Back then, during the Heavenly Martial Arts Trial, Chen Mo, as a military officer of the imperial court, defeated Fairy Qingxuan and Monk Shiyun in succession, becoming the first martial artist to reach the top of the Qingyun Ranking in nearly a hundred years!
Most importantly, at that time he was only a fifth-grade cultivator, while Ling Ningzhi was a peak fourth-grade cultivator, and Monk Shi Yun had already entered the half-step grandmaster realm!

Once this matter spread, it caused a huge uproar in the martial arts world!

Who says that under the rule of the Celestials, martial arts practitioners can only be trampled on by other systems forever?
By overpowering those below him and suppressing Buddhism and Taoism, Chen Mo used his brilliant achievements to vindicate the martial arts sects and give all martial arts sects a great deal of face!

Even within Martial Saint Mountain, many people idolize him, after all, this is something that even the chief disciple Zi Lianji cannot do!

"It's really him!"

There are many people in this world with the same name, but they are all so young, have unfathomable cultivation levels, and are all from Kyoto... It's almost a perfect match. How could there be such a coincidence?!
"Cough cough."

Just then, a cough came from the high platform.

The chatter immediately ceased, and the atmosphere returned to quiet.

Zi Wenzhong slightly raised his eyelids, looked at the two of them, and said calmly, "Shen Zhixia, repeat what I just said."

"I……"

Shen Zhixia lowered her head, unable to answer at all.

"You think you're so great just because you're the sect leader's personal disciple?" Zi Wenzhong sneered and said, "Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. Your cultivation level doesn't lie!"

"I ask you, since you returned this time, has your cultivation made any progress whatsoever?"

"It's one thing for them not to listen properly, but they also affect others. Hugging and kissing in public is unbecoming!"

Faced with the questioning of the Purple Peak Master, Shen Zhixia looked ashamed and had no answer.

Ever since returning from Kyoto, Chen Mo has been on her mind day and night, causing her to toss and turn in bed, and she has indeed become somewhat lax in her cultivation.

Chen Mo squeezed her small hand, but didn't say anything more.

Although the Purple Peak Master's words were a bit harsh, they were all reasonable. Besides, he was Shen Zhixia's elder, so he couldn't possibly offend him.

However, he didn't want to get involved, but Zi Wenzhong wouldn't let him off the hook, narrowing his eyes and saying, "And you, kid, where did you come from? When did Martial Saint Mountain get a martial arts grandmaster?" "Grandmaster?!"

Everyone present gasped!
Unexpectedly, this man who looked to be about the same age as them was actually a Celestial Realm expert.
Could he be some kind of ageless old monster?

"My name is Chen Mo. I greet Senior Zi." Chen Mo cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Chen Mo?" Zi Wenzhong raised an eyebrow and asked, "You're from Kyoto? Shen Zhixia's fiancé?"

“That’s right.” Chen Mo nodded.

A cold glint flashed in Zi Wenzhong's eyes as he sneered, "So, my son was also injured by you? How dare you appear before me! You have some nerve!"

"Ok?"

Before Chen Mo could react, he saw Zi Wenzhong suddenly stand up, his sleeves billowing, and a huge suction force came from him.

The disciples caught in the blast were thrown into disarray, but Chen Mo, his clothes fluttering, remained as still as a rock, frowning as he asked, "What is the meaning of this, senior?"

"Good lad, you've got some skills!"

Zi Wenzhong's expression became more serious. He raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible hand swept the disciple in front of him aside.

Immediately, the bricks and stones beneath his feet shattered with a bang, and a bottomless black hole seemed to appear within his sleeves, its terrifying suction force drawing in the churning sea of ​​clouds on the horizon!

In an instant, the sky was cloudless for miles around, and the blue sky was as clear as a mirror!
This move, "Universe in the Sleeve," is his signature skill. When used at full power, no one in the same realm can withstand it, let alone a mere third-grade grandmaster!
"Are they serious?"

Chen Mo's steps faltered, and his brows furrowed.

It goes without saying that one could guess that this old man must be Zi Lianji's biological father.

He and Zi Lianji had clashed many times before. Now that the other party has suddenly attacked him, he must be trying to vent his anger on Zi Lianji's behalf... But the problem is, your son is not as skilled as others, so how can you blame me?
Chen Moqiang suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "I only called you 'senior' because of Zhixia. You'd better know when to stop, or you'll make a scene that can't be salvaged!"

Zi Wenzhong was indeed very angry at this moment.

Back in the secret realm of Cangyun Mountain in Donghua Prefecture, Zi Lianji was severely injured and unfortunately eliminated.

Opportunities and fates, each relying on their own abilities. Since we are not as skilled as others, we lose and that's that, there's nothing to say... But the problem is, the other party was far too ruthless!

When Zi Lianji was sent back to the sect, the bloody scene shocked him.

His entire chest was ripped open, exposing all his internal organs. If it weren't for the magical artifact protecting him, he would probably already be a corpse!

That slash not only nearly damaged his foundation, but also destroyed Zi Lianji's Dao heart, almost severing his path of martial arts. How could he, as a father, not feel resentment?

Not going to cause trouble for Chen Mo was already considered very restrained, but I didn't expect this person to actually come to my door on his own initiative!

However, there is a generational difference between the two, not to mention that he is Shen Zhixia's fiancé. Originally, he thought that giving him a warning would be enough, but Chen Mo's words made him angry instead.

"Very well, then I'll see who's going to be left in the mess today!"

Zi Wenzhong's white hair danced wildly, and his true energy surged like a tidal wave.

Chen Mo's eyes grew increasingly cold. Seeing that reasoning with him was futile, he stopped wasting words, took a step forward, and shot away like lightning.
The two figures collided with a deafening roar!

The surging air currents caused the void to tremble uncontrollably!
Everyone present was stunned, staring blankly at the scene.

They were fine just a moment ago, how did these two suddenly start fighting?
Shen Zhixia's face turned pale, but she couldn't help and could only watch anxiously from the sidelines.

"If this continues, something bad is likely to happen..."

"No, I have to go and tell the sect leader!"

Chai Haochuan's heart tightened, and without daring to delay, he turned and flew towards Lingxiao Peak.

……

……

Lingxiao Peak, Qionghua Palace.

The ancient hall had clean, bright pillars. Huo Wuyai and Ji Hongxiu, dressed in black robes, sat at the head of the table, while Zi Lianji and Ling Ningzhi stood behind them respectively.

"I never expected that the Daoist Master would personally grace the Martial Saint Sect with his presence. It truly brings honor to my humble sect," Huo Wuyai said with a smile.

Ji Hongxiu held her teacup, savored it carefully, and said calmly, "No need for formalities. You should know why I'm here. The commotion in the Qingzhou Secret Realm this time is too great. I estimate that those hidden clans will also become restless, and the situation may become very complicated..."

Huo Wuyai nodded and said, "If it is confirmed to be that secret treasure, the restrictions on cultivation should not be significant. I will have Wen Zhong and Zi Lianji go in together."

“I will also arrange for an elder to accompany me,” Ji Hongxiu said.

The so-called secret realm is essentially an independent space that is detached from the world.

Apart from some being captured by cultivators and refined into cave dwellings, most of them drift in the void like isolated islands. When they occasionally collide with this world, they form temporary passages that allow people to travel between the two worlds.

Every world has its own unique ecosystem and rules.

Some secret realms are small in size and have limited capacity, so cultivators whose cultivation level exceeds the threshold cannot enter.

Some large secret realms are vast, even comparable to a continent, and even celestial masters can freely travel within them.

However, in order to check and balance each other and prevent some sects from swarming out to seize opportunities and creating a situation where one sect dominates, the Three Saints Sect will strictly control the number of people. Apart from independent cultivators, each sect can only have one protector.

After all, exploring secret realms is meant to provide training for younger generations, not for a bunch of old guys to go in and fight for the spoils.

“Those powerful families definitely won’t behave themselves, so we still need to be careful.” Huo Wuyai turned to look at Zi Lianji and said, “When you travel with Qingxuan, you can look out for each other.”

"Yes."

Zi Lianji nodded in agreement.

He glanced at Ling Ningzhi furtively, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Although he knew that Ling Ningzhi and Chen Mo were in love with each other, and that he probably had no chance, the feelings in his heart were not so easy to erase. Even just being able to watch her from afar would be good enough...

Ling Ningzhi wasn't listening to a word the two were saying; she was still thinking that once the secret realm opened, she would be able to meet Chen Mo...

Tread-tap-

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Chai Haochuan rushed into the main hall, his voice urgent: "N-no, something bad has happened! Sect Leader, Peak Master Zi is fighting with someone!"

"You're being too reckless. Be careful not to offend our distinguished guest!" Huo Wuyai frowned, displeased. "What's Zi Wenzhong up to? He doesn't act like a peak master at all... And who did he fight this time?"

Martial arts practitioners are generally short-tempered, and they usually resolve conflicts through sparring, often resulting in bloodshed.

The peak master of Qiyun Peak, Zi Wenzhong, is known for his fiery temper. He would display martial virtue at the slightest disagreement, so much so that the elders of the various peaks usually avoid him.

“Chen Mo,” Chai Haochuan replied.

"Who did you say?" Huo Wuyai wondered if he had misheard.

"That's Senior Sister Shen's fiancé, Chen Mo, who's ranked number one on the Azure Cloud Ranking!"

"He came here specifically to see Senior Sister Shen, but for some reason, the two of them suddenly started fighting, and they're locked in a fierce battle right now!"

Chai Haochuan swallowed hard and said.

???

Everyone's faces were full of question marks.

Ji Hongxiu's eyelids twitched, and she stared at Huo Wuyai with a gloomy look in her eyes.

"Is this how your Martial Saint Sect treats its guests?"
