In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 396 On How to Be a Good Leader! (Seeking monthly votes!)
After spending three days at the Blood God Cult headquarters, it was time for Su Yuan to leave and go out on a mission.

His current persona is that of an ambitious man desperately trying to climb the ranks and gain the trust of Blood Soul True Monarch. If he stays cooped up in headquarters and doesn't come out, it will inevitably arouse some suspicion.

During the period leading up to the blood sacrifice ritual, all tasks will revolve around ensuring its successful execution.

For example, they kidnap people, evade the search of righteous forces, and suppress the tentacles of other demonic sects.

Many important tasks must be handled personally by high-ranking officials at the level of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

After leaving the Blood God Cult headquarters and escaping the surveillance of Blood Soul True Monarch, Mortis, who was traveling with Su Yuan, secretly transmitted her voice:

"Su Yuan, a large part of the mission we are responsible for involves slaughtering civilians and capturing sacrificial offerings."

Do you have any ideas on how to avoid these tasks?

Su Yuan: "It's very simple. We'll secretly make an agreement with the Fengxiang Pirate Gang and the Longcheng County Navy. Every time we're about to succeed, they'll just show up and obstruct us."

"During this time, we can also secretly help them fight against the pirates and gradually cut off the Blood God Cult's wings at sea."

"In this way, the Blood God Cult, which is unable to abduct people from the sea and is closely watched by the local official forces within Fazhou, will find it difficult to capture one million sacrificial offerings within a month."

Mortis understood these principles, but those weren't the crux of her problem.

"Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, won't Blood Soul True Monarch become suspicious?"

"If he fails to capture enough people in a short time, will he personally take action and commit heinous acts of slaughter?"

Faced with this question, Su Yuan smiled slightly and said:

“If it were three days ago, I would have had such concerns, but it’s different now.”

"Just you wait and see. Even if the number of sacrifices is less than one million, Blood Soul True Lord will not be in a hurry. Instead, he will hold the blood sacrifice ceremony as scheduled."

"In this situation, as long as we don't go too far, he won't mind."

Mortis paused, sensing a strong sense of confidence in Su Yuan's tone.

This gave her a strange feeling.

Even after five years of being master and disciple with Blood Soul True Monarch, they didn't know each other this well. Su Yuan had only been a disciple for three days, yet he had already found out new information.
Did Blood Soul True Monarch secretly give this kid special treatment?
With a somewhat strange feeling, Mortis didn't ask any further questions, but simply said:
"Let's go and meet up with the pirates under the Blood God Cult now. You should inform your men as soon as possible."

"If a naval battle could break out that would cause heavy losses to the Blood God Cult, this scene would be much more convincing."

With that, the two boarded the Bone Flying Boat.

On the way to Lu Hai, Su Yuan used a communication headset to contact Chen Nuoyi in preparation for directing this big show.

Just five hours later, the Bone Flying Boat landed on the flagship of the Gold-Seeking Pirates.

The pirate captain, Captain Jin, and Lin Yonghua were already waiting on the deck, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

"Saintess Mo, Saintess Su, you two have finally arrived."

Captain Jin, his pale, beardless face beaming with smiles, complained:
"You have no idea, during the few days you were back at headquarters reporting for duty, that crazy woman named Feng Chuanxiang was hunting pirates everywhere like a madwoman."

"But this woman's combat power is extremely terrifying. Although she only has a Foundation Establishment cultivation level, ordinary Golden Core cultivators cannot do anything to her."

"During this period, not only have I been harassed by Feng Chuanxiang, but even the great pirates whose territories are further afield have been attacked."

Mortis listened quietly and then calmly said:
"Summon all the major pirates under the Blood God Cult to besiege and annihilate Feng Chuanxiang."

"Furthermore, Su Shengzi and I will support you. As long as your fleet can find out about Feng Chuanxiang, she will surely die."

Captain Jin was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

He was well aware of Saintess Mo's strength; she was even stronger than him, a Golden Core stage pirate.

The Saintly Son Su next to her is probably not much worse. In this way, there are two more Golden Core warriors. How can Feng Chuanxiang not die?

Three days later, five pirate groups, each led by a Golden Core expert, gathered here.

Including Captain Jin and Lin Yonghua, there are a total of seven Golden Core experts.

This is the full extent of the Blood God Cult's top-tier combat power developed at sea.

Leaving aside Lin Yonghua, who had just joined, and including the deceased Wu Sheng, these seven powerful pirates were referred to by many residents of Luhai as the Seven Warriors... cough cough, the Seven Demon Generals.

Shortly after the six pirate groups gathered, a ship of scouts sent back intelligence, locating the Phoenix Pirate Group.

Feng Chuanxiang was clearly unaware that the six major pirate groups had joined forces and were tracking a trail deliberately left by one of the pirate groups, and was about to fall into a trap.

"Holy Maiden Mo, Holy Son Su, the time has come to kill Feng Chuanxiang. Please give the order."

On the Gold Seeker, Captain Gold respectfully made his request.

Lin Yonghua, standing to the side, said sincerely:
"Holy Son, Holy Daughter, after we capture Feng Chuanxiang, we can take advantage of our great victory to wipe out Longcheng County in one fell swoop and seize enough offerings for the blood sacrifice ritual. It's a win-win situation."

Su Yuan glanced at Lin Yonghua subtly and said calmly:
"Let's go without further ado."

As soon as Su Yuan gave the order, the six pirate groups sprang into action, forming a pocket-shaped formation to surround the Fengxiang pirate group.

The Fengxiang Pirate Crew had only one ship and a small number of men. When they realized they were surrounded by six major pirate crews, it was too late to turn around and escape.

On the pirate flagship that had completely surrounded the Yaksha, the pirate leaders shouted triumphantly at Chen Nuoyi.

"Feng Chuanxiang, you have nowhere else to go. Why don't you obediently abandon ship and surrender?"

"That young girl is really inexperienced. She actually fell into such an obvious trap. I think she should just give up being a captain and become my captain's wife instead." A series of shouts, some arrogant and some vulgar, entered Chen Nuoyi's ears, causing the girl's delicate eyebrows to furrow slightly.

But when she saw Su Yuan on the Xun Jin ship in the distance, her brows relaxed slightly.

To be honest, even if the six major pirate groups joined forces, they would still be no match for her.

After all, he wasn't the only Golden Core cultivator on the Yaksha.

Xuan Haoran, Leng Qianliu, and even Zhu Tianqing all possess Golden Core combat power, especially the former two, one of whom can defeat several unorthodox Golden Core cultivators.

The challenge lies in winning this battle decisively without revealing the strength of Xuan Haoran and the others.

It would be best to kill those pirates who swore at her.

Hopefully, Su Yuan can pull off some unexpected moves.

Chen Nuoyi secretly looked forward to Su Yuan's next performance.

On the Gold Seeker, Su Yuan pointed at the foul-mouthed pirate captain and said:

"Go and capture Feng Chuanxiang for me!"

Upon hearing this, the pirate captain, who was grinning smugly, suddenly froze.

After pausing for several seconds, he cautiously said:
"Holy Son, with so many ships, shouldn't we just open fire and sink the entire Yaksha?"

"Then when we all rush in, that young lady surnamed Feng will surely die."

Su Yuan snorted coldly and said:

"What if we fire at such close range and hurt our own people?"

"And what kind of attitude is this? How dare you talk back to this Holy Son? Do you not respect my master, Blood Soul True Monarch?"

The captain quickly shook his head:

"No...don't dare!"

Su Yuan: "Don't be a coward, I, the Holy Son, am here to back you up! Move the ship over here! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

You'd better be truly responsible.

The captain muttered a vicious curse in his heart, but thinking about how many Golden Core experts were backing him, he finally gritted his teeth and ordered his warship to move closer.

Before long, the flagship, named the Giant Serpent, officially docked with the Yaksha.

Captain Xue Mang of the Giant Serpent Pirate Crew led his men aboard the Yaksha, brandishing a large sword and pointing it at Chen Nuoyi, shouting:
“You little brat, your Grandpa Xue is here to have a go at you today.”

After a moment of silence, Chen Nuoyi swayed and retreated directly into the depths of the cabin.

Upon seeing this, Xue Mang immediately let out a sinister grin:
"Trying to run? Watch me take care of you right here in the captain's cabin!"

As he spoke, he rushed in with his broadsword and kicked open the cabin door.

Then, cold gazes locked onto him.

A minute later, Chen Nuoyi walked out as if nothing had happened, but Xue Mang was nowhere to be seen behind her.

Before Xue Mang's men could react, the girl waved her hand, unleashing waves of purple-gold dragon energy that obliterated all the pirates, none of whom were at most at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The remaining pirates on the Serpent, seeing this, hurriedly tried to drive the ship away, but it was too late.

A purple-gold dragon aura, like a raging python, shot out and coiled around the giant serpent like tentacles. Even with the flagship's power, it was unable to break free for a time.

Then, Chen Nuoyi pointed in the direction of the Giant Serpent, and quickly condensed an invisible bubble with a radius of 500 meters.

As the bubbles burst, a terrifying shockwave enveloped the entire Serpent.

In the blink of an eye, the large ship, which was over 300 meters long, along with its crew, was instantly reduced to dust.

The Giant Serpent Pirates were wiped out.

Looking at the girl with a few drops of blood on her face, Su Yuan couldn't help but tremble.

He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Noyi was becoming more and more ruthless.

Meanwhile, the captains of the remaining five pirate crews, as well as Lin Yonghua, all turned their gazes toward Su Yuan, their eyes filled with doubt.

After all, Xue Mang's death was inextricably linked to Su Yuan.

Sensing the distrustful looks from the crowd, Su Yuan said with a displeased expression:

"Why are you looking at me? Could I have imagined that Xue Mang was such a useless piece of trash, dying before he could even last a minute?"

"Hmph, pirates are just pirates, a bunch of cannon fodder, completely useless!"

These words enraged the pirates, who glared at them angrily.

One pirate captain couldn't help but ask:

Didn't you say you would take responsibility?

Su Yuan: "Take responsibility? Why should I, the Holy Son, be responsible for Xue Mang's own mistakes?"
