My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 571 Big Change
Shen Changchuan's guess was correct.

The higher-ups of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect were indeed unable to swallow the rage of the massacre of their sect's prodigies that had occurred within the ruins of the Elephant Mountain Sect's mountain gate.

and,

Not only the high-ranking members of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect,
Along with the forces behind the slaughtered geniuses from other regions, they all spoke out, shouting that they would make the Heavenly Demon Sect pay for their blood debts!
no way,
Don't be fooled by the fact that there seemed to be a lot of talented individuals from other regions flocking to the cultivation world of the Southern Region back then.

It seems like the death of twenty or thirty people wouldn't be a big deal.

But that's not actually the case.

Anyone who can be listed among the geniuses of the outer realms is undoubtedly the number one genius in the forces behind them, and many of them even carry the future hopes of their respective forces!
but now,
All is gone!

The seeds of the future Divine Realm have the potential to protect their own faction for at least several hundred years.

And so it was cut short halfway through.

She died at the hands of Shi Mengting, the candidate for Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect!

Some of these forces fared even worse!

Because the Divine Realm beings they sent to protect the sect also died within the ruins of the Xiangshan Sect's mountain gate!

They failed to protect the seed that might advance to the Divine Realm in the future, and even their own protector, who was already at the Divine Realm, was dragged down with them.

The losses involved,

That's enough to make those few forces feel so heartbroken they can't breathe!
As a result,
To carry out reciprocal retaliation,
That makes perfect sense!

Just a short time ago,

With the support of Ming Xuanyang and other high-ranking members of the Immortal Sect, various forces have gathered a formidable strength to prepare for a retaliatory action against the Heavenly Demon Sect!

They planned to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines.

Repay the other person with his own way!

but,

Before reciprocal retaliation begins,
There is one more thing they must do.

That is to capture Shi Mengting, the candidate for Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who is currently on the run and has personally committed massacres against the geniuses of various places, and to execute her in a public and just manner!

then,

Not long after that,

All forces converge,

A comprehensive investigation was conducted.

They were determined to bring Shi Mengting, who had committed countless acts of violence, to justice.

With such a massive effort, it was naturally impossible to keep it completely secret, and many related rumors began to circulate in the cultivation world outside.

As a result, Shen Changchuan also collected some relevant information from the market, and thus deduced that various forces would launch a joint operation.

just,

Even Shen Changchuan at the time never expected this.
This was a fierce retaliatory action by all parties.

The result was a crushing defeat!
"That so-called candidate for Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Shi Mengting, is probably more than just bait used by the Heavenly Demon Sect to catch fish!"

"What happened inside the ruins of the Xiangshan Sect's mountain gate was most likely done by that little wretch to provoke us!"

"What a brilliant plan! Heh!"

After things calmed down a bit, Ming Xuanyang finally had time to recover from the earth-shattering upheaval that had just occurred.

Almost at the same time,

Ming Xuanyang quickly figured out the specific cause and effect.

Some people were so angry they laughed instead.

"I was wondering how that bracelet could end up in the hands of a mere Nascent Soul cultivator. Now it seems that it might all have been part of their plan!"

"The spatial power of that bracelet can help her still have the ability to escape from cultivators in the Divine Travel Realm."

"Thus, they can lead us step by step into the trap they have already prepared!"

Recalling the whole cause and effect,

Ming Xuanyang couldn't help but feel annoyed, and he clenched his fists.

He should have thought of it earlier!

That bracelet can help cultivators instantly travel through space.

Such an existence,
Even a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Travel Realm would likely covet and vie for it if they saw it! But it just so happens to appear in the hands of a mere peak cultivator at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm!

This is obviously not normal!

In a place like the Heavenly Demon Sect, where the strong prey on the weak,

If that bracelet belonged to Mengting at that time, I'm afraid even the demonic cultivators at the Divine Travel Realm would have come down to fight for it the next day!

Unless you say,
That thing has a particularly important mission!

This will deter others within the Heavenly Demon Sect from acting recklessly!
Damn!

Ming Xuanyang was filled with regret and couldn't help but slap himself.

"This time, I've really messed up!"

"However, things won't end so quickly. For a Xuan Dan Realm expert to personally confront us Divine Travel Realm cultivators... Hmph, Heavenly Demon Sect, you will pay the price for breaking these rules!"

a good moment,
Having regained some of his magical power, Ming Xuanyang turned around, looked at the distant horizon that was slowly closing in, and whispered a few words.

Without the slightest hesitation, he then...

He turned and continued running.

Almost at the same moment,

A certain void.

Shi Mengting slowly stepped forward and respectfully bowed to a magnificent and boundless aura in the dark depths of space ahead.

[Excellent, you did a very good job on this task.]

[In this battle, we killed twenty-three Divine Realm cultivators from the Jade Purity Sect. Adding the three you killed in your operation, the Divine Realm combat power under the Jade Purity Sect has been significantly weakened. This will reduce some of the pressure on the Holy Sect in future battles.]

[With such a great achievement, upon your return, you will become the official Holy Maiden of the Holy Sect.]

A magnificent sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The will deep in the darkness was clearly in a good mood, and even talked more.

"Mengting thanks the Ancestor; she is deeply grateful!"

Upon hearing that she was about to officially become the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Shi Mengting's face lit up with joy.

"However, all of this is thanks to the ancestor's brilliant foresight in successfully scheming and killing those hypocritical villains from the Jade Purity Sect. Mengting dares not take credit for it!"

Okay, this is your credit; no one can take it away from you.

[Return as soon as possible. After suffering such a great loss, the Jade Purity Sect might become desperate and resort to desperate measures. Moreover, it's best to secure your position as the Holy Maiden before they make their move, otherwise, things could get complicated and unexpected events might occur.]

A grand sound echoed between heaven and earth.

"Yes, ancestor!"

The immense will in the darkness nodded, followed by a spatial ripple.

The vital energy that once filled heaven and earth has lost its source.

It gradually dissipated.

Shi Mengting remained in a respectful posture until a moment later, when everything had faded away, before slowly straightening up.

A slight upturn at the corners of her lips and a look of joy in her eyes.

but,

Soon, the joy on his face disappeared, and he returned to his previous indifferent and cold demeanor.

"Holy Maiden, congratulations on achieving your wish!"

"Having taken such a great risk and paid such a high price, this result is only to be expected!"

Although she concealed her joy, her voice still carried a hint of pride.

"So, shall we immediately return to the Holy Sect and complete the inauguration ceremony?"

"Of course, but there are some things that still need to be arranged."

In Shi Mengting's mind,
The image of Shen Changchuan flashed through her mind that day, and a deep sense of dread rose in her heart.

Then, it seemed that the old woman, Aunt Song, behind him gave him some instructions.

The old woman nodded.
They bowed and withdrew.
