The Demon Lord's persona must not be ruined!

Yun Zhongling took a deep breath, straightened his robes, and strode into the mountain gate with his nine junior brothers and sisters behind him.

Behind them, the elders leading other sects watched with longing, their hearts filled with envy.

"The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is lucky, they're the first one."

"That's right. I heard that the Demon Lord personally went there and gave Yin Jiuqi some pointers."

"Shh, don't say anything, just watch."

Yun Zhongling walked at the front, his heart pounding.

Although he had met the Demon Lord once, that time was at the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, where the Demon Lord was a guest and he was the host.

Now it's the other way around.

After passing through the long, dark tunnel, the view suddenly opened up before us.

We've arrived at the Xuan Tian Sect Master's Hall.

The main hall was entirely black, hundreds of feet tall, with countless spirit stones embedded in its dome. Light poured down, illuminating the entire hall like a starry sky.

Directly in front, on the ninth level of dark jade steps, a high seat made of black jade stands quietly.

The person seated was dressed in a black robe, with his dark hair flowing freely, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he were resting.

It was the Demon Lord.

Yun Zhongling paused, his heart skipping a beat.

Even though he wasn't releasing any pressure, and he was just sitting there, he still felt like he couldn't breathe.

Below the steps sat three clan leaders.

Youyue, Qianji, and Litu are all cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage!

The ten Supreme Elders sat on either side.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a gap on the right side.

Is this the strongest sect in the world?

I'm afraid even the righteous Heavenly Dao Sect can't compare.

He took a deep breath, led his junior brothers and sisters forward quickly, stopped three zhang in front of the jade steps, and then knelt down in unison.

"Yun Zhongling, the eldest disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, has been ordered by his master to lead his fellow disciples to pay homage to the Demon Lord!"

Nine people, foreheads touching the ground, were respectfully seated.

The hall was so quiet you could hear your own heartbeat.

Three breaths.

Five breaths.

Ten breaths.

On the high seat, Chu Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze fell on Yun Zhongling, and he spoke calmly:

Get up.

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire hall.

Yun Zhongling felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly stood up, presented a storage ring with both hands, and said respectfully:

"By the Demon Lord, the entire Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is grateful for your guidance. Before our master went into seclusion, he specifically instructed us that this is a small token of our sect's accumulated wisdom over a thousand years. Please accept it with a smile, Demon Lord."

Chu Yuan glanced at the storage ring but didn't take it.

"I have received Yin Jiuqi's jade slip."

Yun Zhongling's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head:

"If it works for the Demon Lord, that would be best."

Chu Yuan nodded.

He did indeed use it.

That secret technique of one soul in two bodies is now being used on this puppet clone.

"How is your understanding of your master's cultivation techniques progressing?"

Yun Zhongling was taken aback, then quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly said:

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, since receiving your guidance, my master has suddenly gained enlightenment and is now in seclusion to further his understanding. He will break through soon."

Chu Yuan hummed in agreement:

"Go back and tell him that the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was the first to submit to me, and I will visit them again in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongling's eyes lit up with excitement:

"Yes! This disciple will certainly convey the message!"

Beside them, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect also looked proud.

The Demon Lord personally visited twice!

How many people in the entire Cangxuan Realm can enjoy such treatment?

Yun Zhongling was incredibly excited.

The Demon Lord remembered his master and promised to visit the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect in the future!

What does this tell us?

This shows that the Demon Lord truly considers the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect as one of his own!

He took a deep breath and bowed again:

"The Demon Lord's teachings are etched in our hearts! The entire Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is willing to go through fire and water for the Demon Lord without hesitation!"

Chu Yuan waved his hand:

"You may leave now. I will summon you back after I have reviewed everything."

"yes!"

Yun Zhongling led his junior brothers and sisters out of the main hall respectfully.

The three sect leaders nodded slightly as they looked at the appearance of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

However, Xue Lie's gaze was unfriendly.

If it weren't for these guys, I could have single-handedly built the White Bone Palace and accomplished great things!

Chu Yuan glanced at Xue Lie but didn't react.

Rather, the elders didn't react much at all.

After all, most of their power has been stripped away, and since the cult leader is so strong, there's nothing they can do.

As soon as they stepped out of the main hall, the disciples couldn't hold back any longer.

"Our Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has chosen the right person to follow!"

Yun Zhongling glared at them:

"Shut up! We'll talk about it when we get back!"

He kept a straight face, but inside he was overjoyed.

Outside the mountain gate, the elders of various sects eagerly awaited their arrival.

Upon seeing the members of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect emerge, they quickly surrounded them:

"Fellow Daoist Yun, how is it? What did the Demon Lord say?"

"Is it alright? Are there any rules?"

Yun Zhongling coughed lightly, maintaining his air of authority:

"The Demon Lord is approachable and kind, with few rules. Please feel free to go in."

After speaking, he led his junior brothers and sisters to stand aside, leaving everyone with an unfathomable back view.

Ying Wudi stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought:

"Approachable? Kind and friendly? Are these words used to describe the Demon Lord?"

A cold laugh rippled through the room as someone said:

Do you believe it?

"I don't believe it."

"That settles it then."

Youyue's voice rang out again:

"Second place, Shuiyue Sect!"

Fairy Qingyue took a deep breath and led her disciples through the mountain gate.

……

One hour later.

The Water Moon Sect has emerged.

Fairy Qingyue's face was flushed, her eyes were unfocused, and she was walking unsteadily.

Shadowless went to meet them:

"Fairy Qingyue, what did the Demon Lord say?"

Fairy Qingyue came back to her senses and murmured:

"The Demon Lord said... that I should assist my senior brother, and an opportunity will come soon."

She's been stuck at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm for a long time.

The Demon Lord seemed to have seen where his opportunity lay.

"this……"

Ying Wudi was stunned.

The Demon Lord even knows this?

A sneer flashed in Leng Xiaochou's eyes:

"Fairy Qingyue, how did the Demon Lord know?"

That was a stroke of luck!

Fairy Qingyue shook her head:

"I don't know. He just glanced at me and then said it."

Everyone looked at each other.

Although they did not doubt that the Demon Lord's cultivation had greatly improved.

But becoming an immortal still has its...

Could it be that he's already halfway there?

Third place: Blood Shadow Sect.

Ying Wudi strode into the main hall, still feeling a little apprehensive.

Although he is big and burly, he has not only relied on his fists to get to where he is today in the demonic path.

But as soon as he entered the hall, he sensed something was wrong.

When the Demon Lord looked over from his high seat, Ying Wudi felt a chill run down his spine.

That feeling was like being stripped naked and standing in the freezing cold, with no secrets to hide.

"Blood Shadow Sect Master, Shadow Invincible, pays respects to the Demon Lord!"

He knelt on one knee, his voice booming.

Chu Yuan glanced at him and said calmly:

"Shadow Invincible, I know what you're thinking. You possess demon blood, and you intend to use me to seek revenge against the demon race, is that right?"

Ying Wudi was shocked and looked up in disbelief.

He has never told anyone about this!

It could even be said that his demon bloodline had not been exposed for so many years.

But the Demon Lord saw it immediately!

this......

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
