The Demon Lord's persona must not be ruined!

Chu Yuan remained silent.

The main hall was eerily quiet.

Bone Demon knelt there, his back soaked with sweat.

All he wants now is to end this quickly and leave this place.

He felt like he was going crazy if he stayed even a second longer.

Chu Yuan suddenly spoke again:

"Oh, right."

Gu Mingxin was on the verge of tears.

Chu Yuan looked at him, his tone casual:

"I've heard that Elder Xue Lie specially approved the White Bone Palace's pilgrimage this time?"

Gu Ming's mind went blank for a moment.

How should he answer that question?

Is that right?

Isn't that selling Xue Lie?

You say no?

But that's just how it is!

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Xue Lie's expression also changed slightly.

He didn't expect Chu Yuan to ask this in front of everyone.

Chu Yuan waited a few breaths, and seeing that Gu Ming remained silent, he smiled:

"What, is this a difficult question to answer?"

Sweat dripped down Gu Ming's forehead.

He opened his mouth, about to speak.

Chu Yuan waved his hand:

"Never mind, I was just asking casually."

Bone Demon was stunned.

Just... a casual question?

He almost collapsed to the ground.

Chu Yuan leaned back in his high seat, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest. His gaze swept over everyone present, and he suddenly said:

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin."

Youyue nodded:

"yes!"

Soon, all the sects entered and knelt on both sides.

Chu Yuan stood up and slowly walked down the platform.

Only Chu Yuan's footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

He walked to the edge of the jade steps and stopped.

Then he opened his mouth:

"Get up, everyone."

Chu Yuan stood there, hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

"I summoned you here today not so that you would kneel."

His gaze swept over everyone present, his tone calm:

"I sent you here to show you that from now on, the demonic path will be different."

Yun Zhongling, kneeling at the very front, heard the clearest.

Different?

What does that mean?

Chu Yuan continued, his voice not loud, but carrying an indescribable quality:

"For thousands of years, our demonic path has been condemned and attacked; wherever we go, we are pointed at and vilified as heretics. Do you accept this?"

No one dared to speak.

But many people's eyes flickered.

Convinced?

How could I possibly accept that?

But what can you do if you're not convinced?

The righteous path is powerful, with prestigious sects occupying the best spiritual veins, the most resources, and having powerful figures like Dao Venerables overseeing them.

What about the Demonic Path?

They were a disorganized bunch, each fighting their own battles, and often turning on each other.

If it weren't for the emergence of the current leader of the Xuantian Sect, who single-handedly earned the title of Demon Lord...

It's uncertain whether the demonic path can defend the Western and Southern Regions!

Chu Yuan smiled as he looked at their expressions:

"I know you are not convinced. I am not convinced either."

He paused:

"Therefore, I have established a rule."

Even demons have their code of conduct!

Ying Wudi couldn't help but blurt it out.

Chu Yuan looked at him and said, word by word:

"That's right!"

Many of the demonic disciples' eyes turned fanatical.

They had heard of those four words before.

After the incident involving the Water Moon Sect was exposed, those four words spread throughout the entire Demonic Path.

But when it actually came out of the Demon Lord's mouth, it felt completely different.

"From now on, the demonic path seeks freedom of the true self and strives for the opportunity to attain the Great Dao."

Chu Yuan said, word by word:

"It is not indiscriminate killing, not bullying the weak, and not paving the way with the blood and flesh of others."

His gaze swept over everyone present:

"I have summoned you here today to tell you..."

"I intend to unify the demonic path."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Integrate the Demonic Path?

This is something no one has dared to imagine for many years!

Which of the various sects of the demonic path isn't unruly and undisciplined?

Who wants to listen to others?

But when these words came from the Demon Lord's mouth, they carried a completely different weight.

Chu Yuan continued:

"Internally, we are united. If anyone is in trouble, all sects will help each other. Externally, we will fight together against powerful enemies. Whether it is the righteous path or the demon race, if anyone bullies our people, we will fight back together."

His voice suddenly rose a few decibels:

"I will make the Xuan Tian Sect, and the entire demonic path, great once again!"

Great again?

These four words resounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

Yun Zhongling was the first to react.

Before his mind could process it, his body had already moved.

"Bang!"

His knee slammed heavily onto the ground.

"The Demon Lord is wise! The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is willing to die for the Demon Lord!"

His voice was trembling, not from fear, but from excitement.

Before his seclusion, Master instructed that only by following the Demon Lord could the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect have a future.

Now that the Demon Lord has personally stated his intention to unify the demonic path, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect must be the first to seize this opportunity!

Fairy Qingyue was the second to kneel down.

She didn't say anything, she just knelt there, her eyes a little red.

The Shuiyue Sect was almost wiped out, but the Demon Lord saved them and even gave them compensation.

Although it was the Xuan Tian Sect elder who caused the injury, the Demon Lord kept his promise and the Poison Scorpion was killed on the spot!

Shuiyue Zongji will remember this kindness for the rest of his life.

The third one is Shadow Invincible.

He knelt on one knee, his voice booming:

"The Blood Shadow Sect is willing to die for the Demon Lord!"

Regardless of whether it's integration or not, the Demon Lord knows that he has demon blood and even said he would help him. He acknowledges this favor!

Ghost King Valley, Corpse Puppet Sect, Yin Wind Valley, Blood Fiend Sect...

One by one, they all knelt down.

"I am willing to die for the Demon Lord!"

"I am willing to die for the Demon Lord!"

The sounds grew louder and more unified.

Finally, all ten sects, with over a hundred people, knelt on one knee in unison and shouted in unison:

"I am willing to die for the Demon Lord!"

The deafening roar surged out of the main hall and echoed throughout the entire Xuantian Sect.

Li Han, who was kneeling at the very back, was a beat slower than usual.

When he knelt down, his mind was a complete mess.

Even demons have their code?

Integrate the Demonic Path?

Why does it sound so...righteous coming from the mouth of a demon lord?

wrong.

He is a righteous person, how could he think that the Demon Lord is right?

But that feeling just wouldn't go away.

He quietly looked up and glanced at the figure in black robes on the high platform.

At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

If the Demon Lord were a righteous being...

How wonderful that would be.

Wang Fang knelt beside him, his voice trembling as he transmitted the message:

"Senior Brother Li, I... I feel a little excited?"

Li Han replied telepathically, gritting his teeth:

"Calm down! We're on the right path!"

"I know, but... but I just can't help it!"

Zhao Lian also transmitted his voice, which sounded somewhat dazed:

"Demon Lord, so this is the kind of person you are...?"

Li Han: "..."

Can't you guys at least have some sense of righteousness?

But he himself knew that his heart was pounding.

It's not because I'm afraid.

It was because it was so shocking.

With such a figure emerging from the world of Demonic Cultivation, the world is about to change!

Chu Yuan stood there, listening to the deafening roar, his face expressionless.

But I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

What he just said was half sincere and half acting.

It's because he genuinely can't stand those who indiscriminately kill innocent people.

Since we've come into this world, we should leave something behind.

Chu Yuan is not a saint, nor does he possess any womanly compassion!

Of course he knew that in the cultivation world, might makes right.

So he wants to make his fist the biggest!

Then let the world exist in his order!

The reason for acting is to keep these people in the game.

No matter what, my cultivation level is only at the foundation stage, so I can only rely on deception.

It seems to be working well so far.

His gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on the last few people.

The ten people in the White Bone Hall were kneeling crookedly, their eyes darting around, and it was obvious what they were thinking.

Chu Yuan's lips curled slightly.

Not urgent.

Take it easy.

Perhaps it can be combined with the righteous path.

Chu Yuan raised his hand.

The thunderous roar stopped instantly.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Chu Yuan said calmly:

"Get up, everyone."

Everyone stood up.

Chu Yuan turned around, walked back to his high seat, and sat down.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his gaze sweeping over everyone present:

"From this day forward, all sects of the demonic path will be led by the Xuan Tian Sect. Anyone who disagrees may stand up now."

No one spoke.

Who dares to stand up?

Ying Wudi's fierce gaze swept across the surroundings.

As long as someone dares to stand up.

He was the first to tear that spiky hair to shreds!

P.S.: My reading pace has slowed down a bit these past few days, probably because I'm a little slow on the plot. I'll speed things up later on. Please feel free to leave comments if you have any suggestions!

Xiaoqing hopes this book will make everyone laugh while reading and allow them to relax in their busy schedules.

Xiaoqing will write during the day tomorrow; otherwise, she'll be writing and posting as she goes, which means there are many parts I feel could be better written, but I don't have time to revise them. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
