My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Throughout history, none of those who have practiced the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique have met a good end. They either went astray and became possessed by demons, or they killed themselves during the process of severing the three corpses.

Every time you dismember a corpse, it's a life-or-death test.

Even if they survive, those with weak minds may go mad and become extremely dangerous.

Chapter 232 Lin Yuchen

They followed the disciple who was leading the way to a mountain peak, which was where the guests were arranged to stay.

Each person has their own private room, and Qi Yu's room is the best one, which is almost like a private courtyard.

Qi Yu had no objection to this differential treatment.

In the evening, Ziqi Pavilion gathered everyone for a banquet.

As soon as he entered, Qi Yu saw Lin Yuchen, the young master of Tianya Haige, and his fiancée, Ouyang Ruoxue!

Just as rumored, Lin Yuchen was extremely handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips, and white teeth; his face was exquisitely sculpted as if by a knife and axe.

Even as a man, Qi Yu thought he was excessively handsome!

Such a person is actually a man!

However handsome he was, Qi Yu was only slightly surprised.

Because no matter what, Tianya Haige is an enemy.

Therefore, it is only natural that Lin Yuchen is also an enemy, and it will not work for her to use her connections.

It doesn't work if you're a woman, let alone a man!

What surprised Qi Yu was Ouyang Ruoxue; he had seen this woman before, in Jiangzhou City.

At that time, a child was almost hit by the carriage, but Ouyang Ruoxue saved him and then asked if she knew Dongfang Mengyue.

At the time, he really didn't know who Dongfang Mengyue was!

He was deeply impressed by Ouyang Ruoxue, not by her strength and appearance, but simply by her lack of manners.

They immediately asked me in an interrogative tone if I knew Dongfang Mengyue, which annoyed me.

Qi Yu gave Ouyang Ruoxue a deep look, then looked away and began to survey the guests around him.

He didn't recognize most of these people, but judging from their appearance, they should all be the strongest young generation from their respective factions.

Ouyang Ruoxue and Lin Yuchen also looked at Qi Yu, and many others looked at Qi Yu with a hint of hostility.

The forces to which these people belonged all followed the lead of the Purple Qi Pavilion and the Heavenly Edge Sea Pavilion, so they naturally knew Qi Yu's identity beforehand.

Lin Yuchen smiled at Qi Yu and said, "Brother Qi, you have come from afar. I apologize for not welcoming you properly!"

As she spoke, Lin Yuchen bowed respectfully, her posture extremely dignified and composed.

Qi Yu felt disgusted by Lin Yuchen's attitude, but still returned the greeting with a bow.

"Young Master, you're too kind!"

Lin Yuchen pointed to an empty seat on the right-hand side in front of him and said with a smile, "Brother Qi, please take a seat!"

Qi Yu nodded, then sat down at the seat below Lin Yuchen. Next to him were Zhou Zixun and Zhuang Zhihuan.

Pulling in, Qi Yu bowed, and Qi Yu returned the bow, thus beginning the banquet.

The engagement banquet is tomorrow, and many guests will be there, including even the Grandmaster.

The core members of Tianya Haige all came to Mangshan for this wedding.

Lin Yuchen is the young master of Tianya Haige and the son of the sect leader. The engagement banquet was held at Ziqi Pavilion, which can be considered as giving Ziqi Pavilion enough face.

After all, no matter what, Ouyang Ruoxue is a grandmaster. Marrying Lin Yuchen is equivalent to giving a grandmaster to Tianya Haige.

Tianya Haige naturally needs to show its sincerity!

Ouyang Ruoxue only came out to say hello and then left early. After all, everyone present was a man, so what was the point of her, a woman, showing her face in public?

She originally didn't want to come to this banquet, but she just wanted to see Qi Yu, the man who was willing to destroy his dantian for Su Yue.

She could see everything that was happening in the capital city clearly from afar.

When she first heard that Su Yue had married a useless scholar, she was quite surprised and became curious about Qi Yu.

But the more she learned about Qi Yu, the more curious she became.

So she showed up at the banquet tonight just to see Qi Yu.

She found it astonishing that he had become a grandmaster in less than a year of learning martial arts.

Most importantly, he possesses talent and righteousness, two of the most mysterious and difficult-to-cultivate true energies.

Now that I see it, I can't help but feel disappointed and regretful, because his dantian is indeed gone, and his true energy seems to have dissipated.

He's just an ordinary person now!

……

Later that evening, another acquaintance arrived. Upon seeing him, Qi Yu was slightly taken aback.

The person who came was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, with a Taoist topknot. He stood up straight, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a sense of righteousness emanated from him as he walked.

Qin Xiu!

Qin Xiu was the most outstanding disciple of Taoism in this generation. The "Treatise on Marrow Cleansing" he practiced was a simplified version, yet it still resulted in the opening of thirty-six bones, making it the ultimate simplified version.

After the sect leader went into seclusion, he is now in charge of managing Taoism, which demonstrates the sect leader's trust in him and recognition of his abilities.

Qin Xiu was slightly taken aback when he saw Qi Yu, then his face lit up with joy. He walked up to Qi Yu's table, ignoring Lin Yuchen and Ouyang Ruoxue, the people in charge, and bowed.

"Uncle-Master!"

Qi Yu nodded, then asked in surprise, "Why is it you who came?"

Qin Xiu is temporarily handling Taoist affairs as the leader; he should be very busy!

Qin Xiu respectfully replied, "Reporting to my senior uncle, it was the sect leader who sent me here, saying that you are very likely to be here!"

Qi Yu and the people around him frowned. Was this what the sect leader had ordered?

Qin Xiu is the strongest among the younger generation of Taoists. Although he is not a grandmaster, he is not far from breaking through.

With him around, even a master like Qi Yu couldn't harm him.

His arrival also indirectly indicated the coach's attitude.

Qi Yu was still his disciple. Even though he left Taoism, it did not mean that he had expelled Qi Yu from the sect.

Their actions against Qi Yu are a challenge to the leader.

Qi Yu's expression was somewhat complicated. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Find a place to sit down!"

Qin Xiu nodded and then sat down in an empty seat behind Qi Yu.

Qi Yu turned to look at Lin Yuchen and smiled, "Young Master, please don't take offense!"

Qi Yu was referring to Qin Xiu bowing directly to him upon entering, ignoring the affairs of the host family.

Although Lin Yuchen wasn't exactly the host!

He's just using someone else's resources to his advantage!

This is the territory of the Purple Qi Pavilion!

Even though he's about to marry Ouyang Ruoxue and will be the son-in-law of Ziqi Pavilion in the future, he's not yet.

Lin Yuchen smiled magnanimously and said, "It's alright!"

Despite saying that, she still glanced at Qin Xiu and Qi Yu.

Taoism has begun to disrespect them, because in the matter of Qi Yu, Taoism and Tianya Haige have essentially broken off relations.

Just like this time when I went to deliver the invitation, Changsheng Temple simply refused to see me.

After Lin Yuchen withdrew her gaze, she stood up, attracting everyone's attention.

"Thank you all for coming. Actually, I gathered you all here tonight to discuss some things with you."

Half of those present were Lin Yuchen's people, and of the remaining half, 60% were fence-sitters.

Only a very small number of people, such as Qi Yu, were unmoved by Lin Yuchen's words.

"As you all already know, the recent unusual activity within the Demonic Sect has been a result of the three remaining major factions of the Demonic Sect frantically expanding and annexing weaker forces within the sect in the past two months. Their purpose is obvious: to unite and unify the Demonic Sect."

"So today, I want to hear everyone's opinions so I can make plans as soon as possible!"

Qi Yu listened to Lin Yuchen's words and understood the purpose of Lin Yuchen's invitation.

------------

Chapter 233 Pressing In relentlessly

The unusual activity on the demonic cult side has attracted the attention of the righteous path.

Therefore, Tianya Haige wanted to take advantage of the Demonic Sect's actions to unite the righteous path and form a powerful force.

Even without the activities of the demonic cult, there is a trend of the righteous path uniting.

The Purple Qi Pavilion and the Heavenly Edge Sea Pavilion are the two largest forces in the righteous path. They have joined forces, so how can other small forces survive in the cracks?

This is an inevitable trend, and it's not something you can simply choose to remain uninvolved in.

Lin Yuchen's purpose this time was to sound the alarm for those present and give them a wake-up call.

This was a final ultimatum to himself and to those who did not submit to Tianya Haige, including members of Taoism and Qingyun Academy.

When the Demonic Sect is mentioned, many people focus their attention on Qi Yu.

Among them, Qi Yu had connections with the Demonic Sect, and he even married a Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect.

They couldn't help but question Qi Yu's stance. He had withdrawn from Taoism, so he was now the husband of the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult, which made him, in a sense, a demonic figure within the cult.

But Lin Yuchen also invited Qi Yu to come, which they did not understand.
