My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

And these sea monsters are being given away for free!

Monster meat is very expensive nowadays because monsters only appear in the south and east.

If you want to eat monster meat, you have to go to the south and the east!

Many people even complained, "Why are there no monsters here?"

Their previous fear of monsters had been dispelled by the two books, "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Recipe Book," which even changed their views on monsters.

In their eyes, monsters are now just money trees and food!

A pound of monster meat can fetch three hundred coins in the north.

For this reason, the northern dynasties even established a special agency for acquisition!

This organization that buys monster meat was initiated by the Great Yun Dynasty.

With the shrewd insight of the Li family father and son, they naturally understood the intentions of the Taoist sect, so they didn't mind adding another bundle of firewood to the already blazing fire.

Qi Yu wanted to change the people's fear of monsters, which naturally pleased them.

Since they are the rulers, why wouldn't they want to improve the overall quality of the people?

Moreover, now that a beast tide has broken out, they are openly contradicting each other, which will not only offend many people but also bring them no benefit.

As for whether it will make Qi Yu famous and add to his reputation, that doesn't matter at all!

Qi Yu's reputation is already very high!

Because he is very strong, so strong that he inspires awe!

……

On a cliff in the east, Lin Ruoxi looked at the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the "Recipe", and a book called "Treatise on Marrow Cleansing" in her hands.

These are all things that Qi Yu did after taking office, using the power and prestige of Taoism.

Every book he publishes garners a huge following!

Because what Qi Yu did was a great thing that benefited everyone on the continent, even if you hate him to death, you can't smear him.

Qi Yu's reputation was too high, and he did good things. His achievements were worthy of being commemorated with monuments.

There's no way to criticize it!

Those comments, which were clearly biased, were quickly drowned out by voices of support.

Taoism is very powerful because it has a high reputation, and many people are willing to believe in it.

This is why various forces on the mainland fear Taoism.

What takes them a lot of time to achieve, Taoism can accomplish in just one sentence.

This is the reputation that has been accumulated over thousands of years!

In the past, Taoist leaders basically practiced "non-action," living like a couch potato, only caring about their own affairs. Therefore, the true power of Taoism was basically never fully realized.

However, the thirty-seventh head coach, Qi Yu, was different!

His thoughts are very unconventional, and although he maintains a calm and peaceful demeanor, he is quite laid-back, like most Taoists.

But deep down, he had an indomitable will; if he was beaten, he would retaliate. He was a man of strong principles.

Such people usually become good people or chivalrous figures.

But Qi Yu became the leader of the sect and a Taoist priest!

He used the prestige of Taoism to continuously recruit believers and young talents from all over the continent, while at the same time doing things that benefit the continent.

Anyone would find it a headache to face such an opponent.

She's having a real headache right now!

If I had known it would be this difficult, I should have shattered his heart with a single blow back in Jinshui City.

She had planned everything, but she hadn't anticipated that Qi Yu would be able to break free from the control of the datura flower.

There's no solution for the datura flower!

Whenever the poison takes effect, the pain is worse than death, as if a thousand ghosts are scratching and ten thousand ants are tearing at me.

Moreover, the dosage she used was ten times that of an ordinary grandmaster. Even a weaker martial artist, such as a first-rank martial artist, might not be able to withstand the effects of the medicine and die.

That was specially made for Qi Yu!

But Qi Yu managed to hold on and escape her control.

She couldn't help but recall her mother's words.

One day in the future, either Qi Yu will die, or I will die!

She said at the time that if one of the two had to die, then the stronger one should survive.

She believed herself to be better than Qi Yu!

Indeed, he is stronger than Qi Yu!

But now, she was uncertain; Qi Yu's power had become unfathomable to her.

She is about to perform the second corpse-severing ritual to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm!

If he were a near-saint, he should be able to suppress Qi Yu!

"Slaying the Three Corpses" involves slaying three times. The first slaying directly leads from Condensing Yuan to Merging with Dao.

The second stage is from the Dao Integration stage to the Spirit Gathering stage, which is the Quasi-Saint realm.

The third time one severs the three corpses, that is, one can break through to sainthood and enter the realm of sainthood.

This is, so far, the only path that offers the potential for sainthood.

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Masters of Guigu

The people of the mainland gradually lost their fear of monsters, and even looked at them as if they were rare treasures.

This led many chambers of commerce to see a business opportunity and begin offering bounties for the purchase of monsters.

Because of the long distance, the quality of the meat is hard to guarantee, so there is a requirement to catch live animals.

Originally, the allied forces were passively resisting the beast tide's attack, but in the past few days, they have taken the initiative to launch attacks.

The sea monsters in the southeast region were forced back into the sea, and the monsters in the east were driven off the coastline.

These monsters are no longer monsters, but rather huge lumps of walking silver.

Under their fierce, relentless, and ruthless attacks, the beast tide was temporarily repelled.

Of the two leading sub-saint beasts, one was dead and the other was injured.

The one that died was the Black-Striped Evil Tiger that Su Yun had dealt with; he had successfully killed the Black-Striped Evil Tiger on the border of the Li Huo Dynasty.

As for the sea monster, the Angry Sea Octopus, to the east, Lin Ruoxi did not kill it. The monster's combat power was almost the same as Lin Ruoxi's, and at sea, Lin Ruoxi was no match for it.

Regardless, the first wave of beasts has been successfully repelled!

……

On Blood God Island, Qi Yu ended his exploitation of Zhen Qing and Zhou Zixun and gave them a day off.

It's already mid-February, and Su Yue has been mostly staying in her room these past few days, occasionally taking a walk in the yard.

When Su Yue's due date arrived, Qi Yu stopped all work responsibilities and stayed by Su Yue's side.

Xu Shuqin brought over many gold basins and three or four midwives to prepare for Su Yue's delivery.

As the weather improves and the spring equinox brings forth a riot of flowers, plum and peach blossoms burst into bloom overnight.

Qi Yu and Su Yue sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun, eating snacks and chatting.

"Husband, I have basically completed the unification of the Demonic Sect. After the child is born, I will head east!" Su Yue broke open an orange and spoke quickly, then handed half of the orange to Qi Yu.

Because of her child's situation, she has stopped the activities of the Blood God Cult and has been in a state of rest and recuperation for the past six months.

She wanted to change the world, and not just casually.

First, eliminate the righteous forces led by the Purple Qi Pavilion, then the northern dynasties, and then the endless sea thousands of miles away.

Qi Yu took the orange, as if he hadn't heard Su Yue's words, broke off a piece of orange, and put it in his mouth to chew.

Su Yuexing turned her starry eyes slightly, looking at Qi Yu's calm appearance, and raised her eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised.

Aren't you going to say anything?

Qi Yu is now the leader of Taoism, and in terms of his stance, he stands on the side of the righteous path.

"No matter what I did before, you supported me. Now it's the same. No matter what you want to do, I will support you!" Qi Yu said with a light laugh.

Let Su Yue destroy it if she wants; she can just bear the consequences herself!

"What if those righteous people ask you for help?" Su Yue asked.

Taoism is a righteous sect and has always been opposed to demonic cultivators. Even now, their relationship remains one of irreconcilable conflict. This is why Qi Yu did not bring any Taoist disciples to Blood God Island.

The Taoist practice of cultivating Qi is nothing more than doing good deeds and accumulating merit.

Demonic cultivators commit heinous crimes and violate the harmony of heaven, so killing demonic cultivators can bring merit and accumulate righteous energy.

This is also why Taoism and demonic cultivation cannot get along; their concepts and beliefs are fundamentally different.

"My wife, do you think I need to be mindful of their opinions right now?" Qi Yu asked rhetorically.

Su Yue was speechless. Indeed, Qi Yu was very strong now, and he didn't care about other people's opinions at all.

Qi Yu was gradually eroding the prestige of Taoism. Whether in terms of individual strength or sect power, Qi Yu was the strongest.

Moreover, Qi Yu doesn't care about what others think at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to slaughter the Luoyang Sect all by himself.

If it weren't for the beast tide, Qi Yu would probably already be preparing to attack Tianyin Valley.

Back then, in front of the Changsheng Temple, he knew which side the thirty Daoist masters who attacked him and the Daoist sect belonged to.

These forces that have intervened must be eliminated, no matter what!
