My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

The Ghost King of Fengdu Ancient City must still be there.

My own questions seem somewhat unnecessary!

The Ghost King has appeared; there are no more "what ifs" now!

Once you reach the Holy Realm, it's no longer something that can be solved through schemes and tricks.

Even if he wasn't from the Saint Realm, but merely a Quasi-Saint, Qi Yu is a living example right now.

Now, scheming against Qi Yu is no longer as simple as it used to be.

"How can I help you?" Ji Ling asked.

By saying this, she had essentially agreed with Qi Yu's plan and was willing to support him.

Qi Yu laughed and said, "All you need to do is help me withstand the pressure from various dynasties. With the Divine Cannon Battalion as a deterrent, even Grandmasters wouldn't dare to easily provoke us."

"Then what are you going to do?" Ji Ling asked, puzzled.

She bore the pressure of the dynasty, but what about Qi Yu?

"Just in case, I'll make a trip to the Western Regions first to investigate the movements of the ancient city of Fengdu. If my prediction is correct, the continent will be in turmoil for some time to come."

"I will then go to the Lulutong Trading Company to discuss a batch of supplies to resist the invasion of ghosts. After all, Taoism will be the main target of those ghosts' attacks next."

"During this time, you need to be prepared. I will have Qin Xiu make a copy of a book on how to deal with ghosts and monsters for you. At the same time, I will also have Qin Xiu and his disciples go and eliminate the ghosts and monsters that have appeared in the territory of the Great Qing Dynasty!"

Ghosts cannot rely on the city's defenses. Most ghosts have no physical form and often appear unexpectedly in various places.

Other factions, to varying degrees, would have left behind texts on how to deal with ghosts and monsters.

In this respect, Taoism has the most say!

Even Confucianism cannot compare!

Everyone has their own expertise; when it comes to dealing with ghosts and monsters, Taoism is the most professional!

"What should we do about the beast tide?" Ji Ling asked.

The beast tide was only driven back; that doesn't mean it won't come back.

Qi Yu had already figured out a solution to this problem. He could deal with ghosts and monsters, but not with demonic beasts, because beast tides were more terrifying than ghosts and monsters.

When dealing with demonic beasts, the righteousness of Taoist disciples will not bring them any benefit.

In this respect, he is even less talented than the Confucian scholars.

Talent, if expressed with gratitude and understanding of the principles, can manifest in words and change the rules.

"My wife will handle the demonic beasts and the Xuanzong sect. I only need to deal with Fengdu Ancient City now!"

Su Yue can break through domains, so among the Quasi-Saints, Su Yue is basically invincible.

The beast god dared not come to the land, and Lin Ruoxi was also crippled, so Su Yue could deal with the southern beast tide and Xuanzong.

Those dynasties were restrained by the Great Qing Dynasty, while the righteous forces were mostly in the east, making it unrealistic for them to travel tens of thousands of miles to cause trouble here.

Moreover, given their power, all they could do if they came was deliver vegetables.

If the ancient city of Fengdu is handled well, Taoism will rise to prominence.

What Qi Yu needs to do is to control the situation, that is, the extent to which the ghosts and monsters are rampant.

If necessary, he will take action, killing some ghost soldiers and generals, and then letting some escape.

Qi Yu had already made himself clear, so Ji Ling said nothing more and instead began to summon the ministers for discussions.

Qi Yu didn't take them with him and returned to the academy.

As for the envoys still staying in the embassy, ​​Qi Yu had no intention of meeting them; it would be a waste of time.

He thought that by holding the official letter, the dynasty could pressure him and force him to hand over the gunpowder formula.

It's no wonder, though. When they saw the Great Qing Dynasty's Divine Artillery Battalion, with its cannons capable of slaughtering Grandmasters, they couldn't help but be afraid.

Moreover, taking advantage of this time, they began to speculate about who was backing them up.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we are now enemies of the world.

I'm quite a failure as a person, and I'm afraid I won't survive. All dynasties, like the righteous path, will probably regard me as a major threat.

But that doesn't matter, the continent is divided enough already.

If they dared to make a move, I'm determined to make them disappear, since they were the ones who struck first.

Back at the academy, Qi Yu gathered all the leaders and held a meeting in the Hall of Sages.

Mo Wen and Liu Xuan are not Taoists, but they still got together because they needed their help with what was to come.

Besides them, there was also Zhou Zixun, a disciple of Confucianism, who represented the Confucian attitude.

Although Confucianism is considered to be on the right path, it is willing to advance and retreat together with oneself.

In recent months, the two deans of Qingyun Academy have also broken through to the Grandmaster level.

After they completed their own techniques, there were no more gaps in their skills.

Qi Yu told them about the ancient city of Fengdu and also briefly outlined his plans.

Everyone was stunned, never expecting that Qi Yu would dare to scheme like this at such a dangerous moment.

This is undoubtedly dancing on the edge of a knife!

But...it's very interesting!

They were all young people, in the prime of their lives, full of energy and passion. The feeling of getting together to do things was very exciting.

Qi Yu assigned tasks to all of them, and by the time he finished, it was already late at night.

Everyone else left, but Zhou Zixun, the Minister of Culture, stayed behind, looking hesitant and awkward, as if he wanted to say something but was unsure what to say.

The academy now has three colleges with more than 4,000 students, all under the jurisdiction of the Hall of Teaching.

Zhou Zixun is currently the deputy head of the Teaching Hall, and he usually handles the affairs of the academy.

He did a great job. The courses he arranged for his students were very reasonable. He would also write books to explain the knowledge that I taught him in my spare time, and use them as teaching materials.

He's practically a book printing press; he understands the key points I explain after just one reading, making him a very useful tool.

Because of him, I was able to worry less about things at the academy.

"What's wrong? Is there something else?" Qi Yu asked, puzzled.

Zhou Zixun hesitated for a moment, but quickly raised his head and gave the order as if he were ready to go all out.

"When are you going back to Blood God Island? Can you take me with you?"

Qi Yu tilted his head slightly and asked in surprise, "Why are you coming to Blood God Island with me? You are a disciple of Qingyun Academy. Aren't you afraid that those demonic cultists will skin you alive and tear you apart?"

Zhou Zixun's face showed a shy expression, and his eyes were somewhat unfocused and flickering.

Seeing Zhou Zixun's expression, Qi Yu seemed to understand, but he wasn't sure.

"You didn't come to Blood God Island with me because of relationship issues, did you?"

Zhou Zixun's silence was tacit agreement.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yu cautiously opened his mouth and uttered two words.

"Zhen Qing?"

Zhou Zixun's eyes flickered, his cheeks flushed, and his breathing became somewhat heavy.

Qi Yu already knew without Zhou Zixun's reply.

Speechless, she looked at Zhou Zixun with pity.

"You like Zhen Qing, do you know how difficult it is?"

Zhou Zixun was a Confucian disciple and a righteous person. His teachers taught him to fight against the demonic sect and its evil people to the bitter end, until death do them part.

Many Confucian disciples were brutally murdered by members of demonic cults after their birth, and their bodies were used for corpse refining or even sexual exploitation.

The disciples of Confucianism are even worse off than those of the orthodox path.

In the eyes of demonic cultivators, Confucian disciples are treasures from head to toe.

Song Yuntao's body was taken back to the Confucian school and then stolen, which is partly due to this reason.

The feud between Confucianism and demonic cultivation runs very deep. If I were still single and hadn't met Su Yue, I would never have considered a woman from the demonic sect, no matter what.

Although Su Yue is a saintess, her cultivation techniques were inherited from Qingxuan Valley.

Apart from Su Yue, most of the demonic cultivators Qi Yu encountered had a cruel tendency to kill.

Especially the Wuji Demon Sect, which cultivates purely with bloodthirsty energy.

The Hehuan Sect is a little better off, but the vessels used for sexual exploitation are basically drained dry.

Even a Confucian disciple like Zhou Zixun, if he went to the Hundred Charms Sect, probably wouldn't survive a single night.

If Zhou Zixun really married Zhen Qing, his teachers must be furious!

"After seeing Miss Zhen Qing last time, I often think of her. I can't eat or sleep, and I just want to see her again." Zhou Zixun said shyly.

Qi Yu was speechless. Did he like Zhen Qing?

Zhen Qing is quite good. She has a good temper and is kind to others. She can be silly at times and a bit naive, but overall she is a very nice girl.

However, the hardships involved are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

If Zhen Qing also likes Zhou Zixun, given her relationship with Su Yue, Su Yue should be able to let him go. But the problem is with Zhou Zixun's superiors.

Those old fogies would never accept Zhou Zixun, a genius disciple second only to Zhuang Zhihuan, marrying a disciple of the Demonic Sect.

Moreover, Zhou Zixun's teacher was the vice dean of Qingyun Academy, who was known for his strictness. During his time at Qingyun Academy, he received a lot of care from Zhou Zixun.

These problems are one thing, but there's another, the most difficult problem to overcome!

Han Xiaotian!

Su Yue, Han Xiaotian, and Zhen Qing grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. It seems that Zhen Qing has feelings for her senior brother, Han Xiaotian.

After all, they had been together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and innocent and carefree.

Zhou Zixun, on the other hand, was undoubtedly a gift from heaven.

In Japanese anime, Zhou Zixun's sudden appearance as a character would basically guarantee his success, but this isn't Japanese anime.
