I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 168 An undercover immortal becomes the leader of the Demon Sect?
[After leaving the Jiang Mansion, you discovered that Taicang Saint Emperor Zhao Ping had arranged for someone to build a domain gate for you in front of the Jiang Mansion.]

[The Taicang Imperial Guards have even surrounded the entire Jiang Mansion, as if they're afraid that something might happen to you, the Plague God.]

Under everyone's expectant gaze, you stepped into the Domain Gate and returned to the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital.

[As soon as you returned to the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital, you were captured by Elder Kongbei, who had been waiting for you for a long time, and taken back to the inn where you were staying.]

[Back at the inn, Elder Kong Bei scolded you harshly, saying you shouldn't have caused trouble in the imperial capital alone.]

[During this time, Elder Ziyun expressed dissatisfaction, believing she was also present. You can't be considered alone, but Elder Kongbei simply ignored you.]

You said that the spirit of the Tairi Divine Bell calculated that you were destined to be married to Jiang Wenyuan's adopted daughter, Jiang Yingyue, the reincarnation of the Sea God, and that you were going there to find Jiang Yingyue, the reincarnation of the Sea God.

Elder Kongbei was surprised. He hadn't expected you to have a relationship with the reincarnation of the Sea God, an Eleventh Realm deity.

[Then you told Elder Kong Bei that you couldn't find Jiang Yingyue's whereabouts and were preparing to go to Huangquan Demon Sect.]

Upon hearing that you were planning to go to Huangquan Demon Sect, Elder Kong Bei's first reaction was naturally to disagree.

[After all, the Six Demonic Sects had just snatched the key to the Nine Abyssal Prison from the Bodhi Temple, and the relationship between the two sides had always been bad.]

[You actually don't want to go to Huangquan Demon Sect, but now the only clue left is that Jiang Yingyue might be there.]

[Finally, Elder Kongbei dragged Elder Jingzhen, who had just emerged from retreat, and took you to the Huangquan Demon Sect.]

"Is this the Huangquan Demon Sect?"

Jiang Chuan stood in front of the Huangquan Demon Sect's mountain gate and looked into the distance.

The entire Huangquan Demon Sect looks like a yin-yang diagram that was forcibly put together.

On the left side is the Huangquan Demon Sect, with lush green mountains, towering ancient trees, flowing spiritual springs and waterfalls, and soaring cranes, a magnificent scene on earth.

The Yellow Springs Demon Sect on the right was a desolate and bleak scene, with an endless expanse of crimson earth and no vegetation at all.

Although there are many palaces on the bare mountain, it still gives people a sense of desolation.

A dark breath of death surged from beneath the earth, making people shudder.

"The place where the Huangquan Demon Sect is located is called Yinjitu. According to legend, it was here that Canghuan, the thirteenth-level existence of the Canglong clan, the most powerful demon in the Middle Ages, was banished to the underworld in order to save his lover."

Elder Kong Bei pointed at the crimson earth and spoke slowly, "Under the powerful force of Cang Huan, the two realms were penetrated. The evil and deadly energy of the underworld poured into the Qing Yuan Realm, turning this area into a barren land."

"Similar to the Yinjitu, there are two other places in the Qingyuan Realm that are connected to the underworld. They are the Nether Ridge in the Meteoric Sea and the End of the Sky."

"If you accidentally stray into the Qingyuan Realm in the future, be extremely careful. If you accidentally enter the underworld, even a True Immortal would be unable to save you."

"The end of the sky? What place is this?" Jiang Chuan thought to himself.

"Fellow Daoist Kong Bei, long time no see."

At this moment, a hearty voice sounded.

An old man wearing a black robe and holding a long bone banner flew in front of Jiang Chuan and the other two.

Elder Kongbei clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yan Sheng. We are here today to visit Sect Master Liu."

"Please come with me, both of you."

Yan Sheng pointed to the ground, and a auspicious cloud rose from under Kong Bei and Jiang Chuan's feet, carrying the two of them into the Huangquan Demon Sect.

"You ungrateful beast, I saved you back then, and you treat me like this? Demonic cultivators are really like that. People like you and Jing Yang have no conscience!" Elder Jingzhen scolded Yan Sheng for being so heartless.

Jiangchuan: "."

No, if you want to curse Yan Sheng, then curse Yan Sheng. Did I, Jiang, provoke you?
Do you really think that I, Jiang, have no temper?
Believe it or not, if you break through the seventh realm, I will write it down in my little notebook first, and then I will suppress you for a hundred years when I break through the sixth realm!

"You still have the nerve to say that?!"

Yan Sheng's eyebrows raised. "If you hadn't disguised yourself as a demon cultivator, knocked Ji Guanying's apprentice unconscious with a club, and stole her Gengjin Liquid, would Ji Guanying have rushed to Guhua in a rage, chopping down every demon cultivator she saw?"

Ziyun Patriarch's eyes were filled with surprise: "Even the head of Xuming Immortal Sect didn't kill you with his own hands. You are really lucky."

Jiang Chuan nodded. Although Elder Jing Zhen was very good at causing trouble, he was also very good at protecting his own life.

Ji Guanying is one of the few ninth-level cultivators among the masters of the Qingyuan Realm, and is considered the strongest among the seven masters of the immortal way.

For two cultivators at the fifth or sixth realm to be able to escape his pursuit is definitely something to be proud of!

Yan Sheng replied, "It's not that we're lucky. Ji Guanying was hacking away at us, and his aura grew so strong that he directly attracted the Nine Realms Tribulation, and he had no time to care about us."

Jiangchuan: "."

So, after all this time, you are really blessed by God?

Under the leadership of Yan Sheng, Jiang Chuan and the other two came to the Huangquan Hall of the Huangquan Demon Sect.

The Yellow Springs Palace is pitch black throughout. It is made of the refined Nether Jade, the main material for Taoist instruments. Every brick and tile is engraved with dense Taoist symbols. The vast and eerie aura diffuses in the air, giving people a great sense of oppression.

When I walked in, I saw a man sitting at the top of the palace.

The man was wearing a black robe with green leaves outlined on it with green silk thread.

Against the backdrop of his black robe and graying temples, the man's skin had a sickly white appearance, adding a peculiar charm to him.

"I wonder, Fellow Daoist Kong Bei, what brings you to our Huangquan Demon Sect today?" Liu Junming spoke first. "The spirit of the Great Sun Divine Bell deduced that Jing Yang and the reincarnation of the Sea God are destined for marriage. I heard that the Sea God is a close friend of the Huangquan Demon Lord. Her soul was severely damaged, and it was with the help of the Huangquan Demon Lord that she was able to reincarnate."

Elder Kong Bei explained his purpose: "I came to Huangquan Demon Sect today because I hope that Fellow Daoist Liu can help me find the whereabouts of the reincarnation of the Sea God."

"The Patriarch and the Sea God are actually good friends?"

After Liu Junming finished speaking, he also realized that he was wrong.

"The Sea God is the founder's close friend. However, the founder left behind many instructions in his last words, and I need to look up the Sea God's affairs. Fellow Daoist Kong Bei, please wait a moment."

After saying this, Liu Junming turned and walked into the depths of the Yellow Springs Palace.

Jiangchuan: "."

No, what is going on?
How come the leader of the Huangquan Demon Sect doesn’t even know the deeds of his own ancestor?

Are you really the leader of the Demon Sect, and not an undercover agent sent by the Immortal Sect?
Patriarch Ziyun jumped on Jiangchuan's head and said, "I knew that every major force in the Qingyuan Realm has some troublesome people."

"Yes!"

Elder Jingzhen nodded and said, "So I feel that Bodhi Temple can only flourish if it is handed over to me."

"If one day, the Bodhi Temple is handed over to you."

Elder Kongbei had a worried look on his face: "I don't ask for the temple to flourish, I just hope that Bodhi Temple won't perish in your hands."

Elder Jingzhen: “.”

No, what's going on with you guys?

You just don't think I can take charge of the Bodhi Temple, right?

I tell you, even if I die in Bodhi Temple and am torn to pieces, I will never give the abbot position to Jingyang!

Two hours later, Liu Junming appeared in Jiang Chuan's eyes holding a half-foot long azure talisman.

The azure talisman seemed to be carved from beautiful jade, crystal clear, with a blue glow emitting a dazzling halo from it.

"This is a talisman left behind by the Sea God before he reincarnated. We can use it to contact the Sea God."

Liu Junming paused and continued, "The Sea God owes the ancestor a debt. The ancestor instructed that when the Huangquan Demon Sect is in danger, they can contact the Sea God for help. He is an Eleventh Realm cultivator."

Elder Kong Bei interrupted directly, "Fellow Daoist Liu, just tell me what you want to change?"

"Our sect's top-grade Dao weapon, the Yellow Spring Mirror, wants to evolve into an immortal weapon, but due to the limitation of spiritual materials, it cannot engrave more Dao principles of the ancestor's Dao fruit."

Liu Junming continued, "There are two pieces of seven-colored immortal gold in the Bodhi Temple. If you give me the seven-colored immortal gold, I will give you this talisman."

Elder Kong Bei frowned slightly. "Though those two pieces of immortal gold are only the size of a fist, they represent the accumulation of thirty thousand years of my Bodhi Temple. Daoist friend, you're asking for thirty thousand years of my Bodhi Temple's accumulation with just one sentence. That's a bit too much."

"I also think two is a bit too much."

Elder Jingzhen said, "Jingyang happens to have a fist-sized piece of dark immortal gold. If Sect Leader Liu agrees, we can trade right now."

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Junming's eyes. "As expected, you're the only cultivator in Bodhi Temple's history to have contracted the Great Sun Divine Bell. You've actually been able to obtain immortal gold. But one piece is too little. Without two pieces, there's no point."

"Well, two pieces of immortal gold are two pieces of immortal gold."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he took out two fist-sized pieces of metal, one black and one blue, from his storage bag.

The black metal is shiny and dark, as if the boundless darkness has condensed and emits a faint light.

The blue metal is covered with all kinds of mysterious patterns, and blue light rises from it, as if condensed from the eternal blue sky, giving people a sense of vastness.

"Dark Immortal Gold and Azure Immortal Gold!"

Liu Junming looked surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Chuan to be able to take out two pieces of fairy gold.

Elder Kongbei and Elder Jingzhen were also surprised.

You have to know that over 30,000 years of hard work at Bodhi Temple, dozens of generations of abbots, elders, and disciples have only managed to accumulate two fist-sized pieces of seven-colored fairy gold!
But Jiang Chuan was able to take out two fist-sized pieces of fairy gold!

"Young friend Jiang, your luck is truly amazing. In the future, becoming an Immortal King, let alone an Immortal, shouldn't be a problem."

Liu Junming showed emotion on his face, and then a blue talisman flew from his hand towards Jiang Chuan.

After Jiang Chuan took the talisman, he stood up and clasped his fists: "Thank you very much, senior. I and the two elders will not disturb you any further."

After obtaining the talisman left behind by the Sea God before his reincarnation, you, Jingzhen, and Elder Kongbei left the Huangquan Demon Sect.

[The Seven Killing Demon Lords and the Supreme Demon Lord have both made plans, so logically speaking, the Yellow Springs Demon Sect should have made plans as well. But you feel like Liu Junming doesn't seem to know about the Yellow Springs Demon Lord's plans.]

[A thought arises in your mind: perhaps it's not that Huangquan Demon Lord hasn't made any plans, but that he hasn't had time to explain many things!]

[Before Huangquan Demon Lord gave his complete confession, he was ambushed by the Netherworld Sect.]

[But then you immediately overturned this idea. If the Netherworld Sect could really assassinate an Eleventh Realm Heavenly Demon, would they still need to hide in the Cave Heaven World?]

After pondering for a moment, you found no answer and decided to continue searching for Jiang Yingyue, the reincarnation of the Sea God. You immediately activated the azure talisman.
