"Ah."
A woman's clear voice came from under the cloak.
"That's good."
Chi Yingluo smiled slightly, appearing quite satisfied with Sangpo's head.
Suddenly, she turned to look at the piper's corpse, a naive smile spreading across her face.
"In that case, use your body to create a grotto."
Chapter 369 Banquet and Assistance
This wasn't the first time that Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan had visited the Xuan Yin Sect.
When they first entered Yindu last time, the two of them entered the city with the help of the Corpse Driving Sect's corpse transport caravan. They happened to be mixed in with the sacrificial carriages being delivered to the Xuan Yin Sect and entered the Xuan Yin Sect's altar together.
This time, the two no longer needed to sneak around.
Because at this time, the two of them had become the Holy Maiden and the Great Protector of the Demonic Sect.
Then they could openly and legitimately be welcomed into the house by the two goddesses, Qingluan and Zhuque, to attend the banquet prepared by the Ghost Dancer.
The banquet that Oni Muji hosted for Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan was not the horrifying meat porridge and offal they had seen before.
However, they were just some perfectly normal wild delicacies.
Like young pheasants and deer legs.
These foods might not be considered rare outside, but in Yindu, a place with a large population of demons yet scarce resources, only someone of the level of a demon sect leader is qualified to enjoy them.
At this time, besides Ghost Dancer, there were two young girls accompanying the Xuan Yin Sect at the banquet.
The two girls looked young and cute, and appeared to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
Furthermore, the two women look very similar, so they are likely twins.
However, despite being twins, the two girls have very different personalities.
A lively and outgoing young girl sat down and kept giggling as she looked at Chi Junlin.
The other was reserved and shy, keeping her head down and not daring to look at anyone.
These two are Ghost Dancer's beloved disciples, two Xuan Nu with very high status in the Xuan Yin Sect.
They are known to all as the Twin Demons.
The more lively one is the older sister, whose name is Chiruzhi.
The shy one is the younger sister, named Mei Ruo Shen.
This pair of twins are not only adorable, but also exceptionally talented.
Both of them practiced the Xuan Yin True Scripture, the internal energy cultivation method of the Xuan Yin Sect. Perhaps if one of them were taken out individually, their martial arts strength would only rank in the bottom seventy or eighty of the Hundred Ghosts Ranking.
However, if the twins join forces and use the Phoenix Harmony Battle Technique personally taught by the Ghost Dancer, they can take on ten opponents at once and easily defeat many masters of the Demonic Sect.
Even someone as skilled in martial arts as Hu Shengyi couldn't withstand it.
Therefore, the Twin Demons are ranked seventh on the Hundred Ghosts List, one place higher than Hu Shengyi.
Returning to the banquet, Oni Muhime didn't seem to have any deeper meaning.
The invitation to the banquet was simply to celebrate the "new marriage" of the Holy Maiden and the Great Protector.
Speaking of the demonic sects, the Xuan Yin Sect, because its members are mostly women, has always had a close relationship with the Holy Maiden Pavilion.
And the Demon Maiden also took good care of the Holy Maiden.
Therefore, Wenren Xuan had the best impression of the Xuan Yin Sect and was also very close to Gui Wuji.
After several rounds of drinks, the group chatted happily.
Chi Junlin exchanged a glance with Wenren Xuan, then smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I have been following the Holy Maiden to Yindu for quite some time now. But among the several Demon Sect Masters, only Lady Guiwuji cares the most about the Holy Maiden."
The other sect leaders, however, haven't been seen appearing before the Holy Maiden more than a few times.
Upon hearing this, Ghost Dancer smiled and said, "The Holy Maiden and I are not only subordinates of the Demonic Sect, but also, in a sense, sisters from the same sect. It is only natural that I care about her."
Wenren Xuan nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "Indeed, compared to others, I trust Sister Guiwu the most."
Chi Junlin nodded, then said to Gui Wuji, "In that case, I have a favor to ask. I wonder if Lady Gui Wuji would be willing to grant it?"
Ghost Dancer then said earnestly, "Please speak, Great Protector."
Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin adopted a serious expression and went straight to the point, "May I ask, Lady Ghost Dancer, do you possess any remains of Lan Gexing, the former sect leader of the Demonic Sect?"
Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, Gui Wuji paused for a moment, then asked with a puzzled expression, "How did you know about this?"
Chi Junlin exchanged another glance with Wenren Xuan, and then carefully chose his words to say, "Previously, I was ordered by the Holy Maiden to investigate a matter in the territory of the Joyful Sect. Lady Guiwuji should know this."
In the Palace of the Underworld, I defeated the Broken Ridge that had betrayed the Saintess Pavilion, and it was there that I happened to discover Lan Gexing's remains...
Although I don't know why Zizaitian would leave the remains there, I still brought them back to the Saintess Pavilion.
Then, the Holy Maiden and I pieced together Lan Gexing's remains and discovered that he was missing a hand.
Coincidentally, another of the Holy Maiden's subordinates learned that the last remaining skeleton was in your sect.
Therefore… I have dared to ask Your Excellency for this last piece of remains.”
The words that Chi Junlin spoke to Gui Wuji at this moment clearly concealed part of the truth.
However, it sounds quite reasonable now.
After all, the Holy Maiden possesses the remains of the Demon Lord Lan Gexing, only lacking a portion. Whatever she wants the remains for, whether it's for burial or for practicing her skills, it all seems plausible.
Ghost Dancer nodded slowly and said, "After Lan Gexing died, her remains were indeed scattered for a period of time. Although I searched for a while, I only managed to obtain one of her hand bones."
I've heard that the rest of the remains were mostly spoken by the Deva, and I've been wondering where he hid them.
But unexpectedly, it was in the underground palace.
Since the remains have fallen into the hands of the Holy Maiden's Pavilion, that's a good thing... better than leaving them in the hands of that wicked master-killer, Zizaitian."
At this point, Ghost Dancer looked at Chi Junlin and the other two and smiled slightly, "You can have Lan Gexing's remains, of course. However, I would like to ask the Great Protector to do me a small favor."
Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin did not immediately agree.
However, she had a rough idea of what kind of "small favor" the Oni Maihime wanted her to do.
"The sect leader wants my help to kill Zizaitian?"
Ghost Dancer was stunned, not expecting that what Chi Junlin had so readily said was this matter.
"Of course I want to kill Zizaitian, and I would be extremely grateful if the Great Protector were willing to help me."
"So, what does the Sect Master mean..."
After a moment's thought, Ghost Dancer said, "Since Protector Lin has been in Yindu for so long, he must already be aware of the conflicts within the Holy Gate."
Within this sacred gate, I can temporarily disregard the conflicts with other demons and others.
"Only he is in heaven, and I don't want him to live a single day longer."
Although Chi Junlin didn't know why the conflict between Gui Wuji and Zizaitian was so profound, he still nodded.
Because on this point, Akatsuki and Oni-muhime share the same stance.
Putting aside the conflict between the Holy Maiden Pavilion and the Joyful Sect, the first thing Chi Junlin needs to do upon arriving in Yindu is to deal with the Demonic Sect.
Among the demonic sects, the Joyful Sect has committed the most evil deeds.
In comparison, the Xuan Yin Sect is the most low-key, with very few of its female demons appearing before the world outside of Yin Capital. The Corpse-Driving Sect only secretly engages in corpse trafficking and smuggling.
These few evil sects could be let go without much harm.
The Joyful Sect is the only exception.
Among the major demons, Chi Junlin might be able to temporarily cooperate with Gui Wuji and Bian Renyao.
But no matter what, we will definitely not let Zizaitian continue to live.
Chapter 370 Left and Right Arms
Although Chi Junlin was willing to temporarily cooperate with Gui Wuji within the Demonic Sect to jointly deal with their true enemy, Zizaitian.
However, Oni-mahime is unaware of Akatsuki's true strength.
Then he continued, “Zizaitian is a man of great martial arts skill and his actions are unpredictable. We need to plan carefully before dealing with him.”
Since the goal is to deal with Zizaitian, his right-hand men in the Huanxi Sect must be eliminated first.
"Does the Great Protector know which two people I'm referring to?"
Chi Junlin naturally knew about this, so he nodded and replied, "It's the unclean demon monk ranked fifth on the Hundred Ghosts List, and the Great Ming Consort holding the necklace ranked ninth. Is that right?"
Ghost Dancer nodded and said with a hint of approval, "The Great Protector does indeed have a deep understanding of our Holy Sect."
Within the Joyful Sect, under the Free Heaven, only the Impure and the Jeweled Necklace truly wield great power.
These two individuals control the most powerful Hidden Soul Temple and Pleasure Cave within the Demonic Sect, and many of their elders are listed on the Hundred Ghosts Ranking.
In comparison, Vice Sect Master Hu Shengyi may seem to be second only to Zizaitian, but his power is far less than that of the two.
Therefore, to truly deal with the Free Heaven and the Joyful Sect, eliminating these two is essential.
Chi Junlin nodded, roughly understanding what Gui Wuji meant, and then said to her, "Then what does the Sect Master mean..."
Ghost Dancer continued, "Previously, during the Holy Maiden's First Sacrifice Ceremony, the sect leaders and elders of the Holy Gate had discussed this matter."
Tomorrow, the various sects in Yindu will send their members out of Yindu to probe southwards.
The reason, as Lin the Protector knew, was that the Southern Righteous Path had launched an attack on our Holy Sect.
This is a matter for Heaven to decide; neither Bian the Demon nor I can conveniently intervene. However, as the Great Protector, you are present, and as a member of the Holy Maiden Pavilion, you are entirely free to act on your own.
I hope that tomorrow, on this very day, the Dharma Protector can help me eliminate these two people. Or at least eliminate one of them.
Chi Ruzhi and Mei Ruo Shen will help you then.
If Miss Lin helps me with this, I will certainly offer Lan Gexing's remains with both hands.
After speaking, Oni-hime gestured to Akatsuki and the other man, awaiting their reply.
Akatsuki had no reason to refuse Oni Muhime's suggestion.
Since her original intention was to deal with Jizaiten, then allying with Oni-mahime to eliminate Jizaiten's right-hand men was a piece of cake.
However, there was one thing that Red King found interesting.
Almost everyone in the Demonic Sect knows that the righteous path of the Southern Martial World is coming to kill them, but the Demonic Sect of Xiangxi is still fighting among themselves!
In Zizaitian, Bian Renyao, Guiwuji, and the other two are still wary of each other and even intend to kill each other as soon as possible.
Of course, this is a good thing for Red King's Landing.
Otherwise, if the Demonic Sect were united, even with Chi Junlin's help, it would be unlikely that the Southern Kingdom's group would be able to invade Yindu.
Having thought this through, Chi Junlin nodded to Gui Wuji and said, "To be honest, Sect Master, the Holy Maiden and I also have a deep grudge against Zizaitian, and we have always wanted to deal with Zizaitian."
"Leave tomorrow's affairs to me, Lin."
Upon hearing this, Oni-mahime immediately smiled.
"So best."
As he spoke, he picked up his wine cup and drank with Chi Junlin and Wenren Xuan.
After finishing his drink, Chi Junlin was reminded of something else.
He then tentatively asked Ghost Dancer, "However, on the other hand, although I understand the grudge between the Sect Master and Zizaitian, if the internal strife continues, the people of the Holy Gate will not be united."
If righteous people were to actually storm the Underworld, how would you, Sect Master, conduct yourself?
Ghost Dancer smiled slightly and replied, "So what if Yin Capital falls? How many non-Xuan Yin Sect members die within the Holy Gate is none of my concern. After all, I don't want to be the Holy Lord."
My goal has always been the same: to kill Zizaitian. Everything else is irrelevant to me.
To achieve this, I am willing to join forces with righteous people.
Chi Junlin was slightly surprised to hear this.
But who would have thought that Oni-mahime hated Jizaiten to this extent?
It was different from what I had known.
He seemed to notice the confusion on Chi Junlin's face.
