A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 195: The Outstanding Representative of the Demon Sect
Very soon, the Demon Sect’s flying boat arrived at the battlefield.
On the battlefield, two factions were facing off.
One side was the Lingyun Hall, and the other was the Heavenly Dao Palace.
The two had commercial conflicts due to the marketplace.
For years, they’d had continuous friction.
Now, they’d finally had enough and were ready to clash.
Of course, both sides had reported to Mount Shushan beforehand.
Explaining that this conflict truly had its reasons, and the grudge ran too deep—without a fight, their disciples’ hatred couldn’t be appeased.
They also made assurances that the battle wouldn’t affect ordinary citizens and there’d be no mass slaughter.
With Shushan’s approval, the two sides finally took their positions and called in reinforcements.
Qin Wenke whispered, “I think they’re waiting for both sides to be heavily wounded, and then the Demon Sect will wipe out both sects!”
Li Xuanxiao nodded thoughtfully.
“Later, everyone give it your all!” the Sect Leader shouted loudly.
“Ahhh!!”
Everyone shouted in unison.
Their flying boat joined Lingyun Hall’s side, facing Heavenly Dao Palace.
“Shout for me!” The Sect Leader held a sound-amplifying magical artifact.
The Demon Sect crowd shouted together:
“Heavenly Dao Palace, oh Heavenly Dao Palace, full of false virtue and pretense
Yellow talismans, golden plaques, vermilion seals—plagues for a thousand years across the land
White robes hide black hearts, preaching demon-slaying and justice
But first they seize young girls for their furnaces, immortal robes stained with mortal blood
Starving corpses cry at the foot of the mountain, while immortals play their flutes feigning mercy.
If real fire were to burn this palace down, let the prophecy spread across the Eight Desolations—spread far and wide!!”
Very soon, the two sides broke into a full-blown war of insults.
Spittle flew all around—for a whole day and night.
Qin Wenke’s throat was burning from shouting.
At this point, he finally understood why that Demon Sect disciple told him to drink more water earlier.
The Sect Leader sipped some throat-soothing tea beside him, “Louder now! Give it your all! Crush their morale!”
Another day of shouting followed.
Finally, Lingyun Hall and Heavenly Dao Palace started fighting—the battle erupted.
The Sect Leader quickly called out to the group, “Quick! Get on the flying boat, time to scram.”
The Demon Sect crew hurriedly boarded the flying boat.
The Sect Leader shouted urgently, “Deputy Sect Leader, quick! Go settle the payment!”
Moments later, the Deputy Sect Leader came running back with a grin.
“Time to bounce, the wind’s picking up!!”
The group quickly fled the battlefield.
Not long after, in the distant battlefield, magical artifacts and flying swords flew chaotically, glowing lights filling the sky.
The Demon Sect crowd sipped chilled water. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
The Sect Leader and Deputy Sect Leader counted their money.
Qin Wenke took a deep breath, “Junior Brother Xuanxiao, I’m convinced now—those two are heartless sc*m! Let’s just take them out already, they’re using us like laborers.”
Li Xuanxiao rubbed his forehead in resignation.
Even the Demon Sect’s life wasn’t easy nowadays—this was a wide operational range.
No wonder it was so hard to trace the Demon Sect these days.
Doing things this way, who could even tell it was the Demon Sect?
Qin Wenke was eager to act, almost unable to hold back.
That Sect Leader really was a piece of work.
Dragging them all over to make money—and pocketing all the profits.
Up earlier than chickens, to bed later than dogs.
They got one cheap Qi-Boosting Pill a day—who could stand that?
Li Xuanxiao tried to calm him down, “Senior Brother, endure a bit more, we’ll plan this out later. Just think of it as field training—it’s just more work, right?”
Qin Wenke was grinding his teeth, “More work? That simple? We’re out there risking our necks. Yesterday, I saw the Deputy Sect Leader and the Sect Leader head off to the brothel, living it up. They even called the top courtesan.
People like that should be punished by Mount Shushan’s Sword Formation.”
Only after Li Xuanxiao repeatedly comforted him did Qin Wenke finally give up on taking immediate action.
“............”
Their tasks were more or less all the same—
Scamming high-interest loans, helping plant spiritual rice, chopping trees, even moving mountains and filling seas...
Pretending to ambush a female cultivator, then letting a male cultivator “heroically” save her, and then disappearing in chaos.
When two factions were about to duel, helping one side insult the other to boost morale.
Or faking an attack on a town, only for a mountain sect to drive them off—
So the townspeople would be grateful to the sect.
Li Xuanxiao silently took note of that sect.
Every mission, Li Xuanxiao and Qin Wenke worked the hardest.
Sometimes, even the Sect Leader couldn’t bear to watch.
One time during a holiday, he told them to take a break.
Li Xuanxiao’s eyes widened like bronze bells, “Take a break? Break from what?
Only people with no contribution to society take breaks. A pillar of the Demon Sect like me would never slack off.”
The Sect Leader clapped his hands loudly.
“A true talent!!”
After doing this beast-of-burden work for three months—
“Now let’s give a round of applause to our outstanding Demon Sect disciple representatives this term.”
Clap clap clap!
Amid thunderous applause—
Li Xuanxiao and Qin Wenke, the model workers, each walked to the stage with a certificate in hand.
The Demon Sect Leader personally presented their rewards.
“As long as you work hard, you too can be recognized and promoted like them!”
The Sect Leader shouted loudly.
“If you want to succeed, go crazy first—charge forward without hesitation.
Do grunt work today, become an immortal tomorrow!”
Cheers erupted from below the stage.
Li Xuanxiao twitched internally.
Wonderful. Our cultivation world now has its own pyramid scheme.
“You two, as outstanding reps, will report to headquarters this time. Remember, don’t embarrass our branch!” the Sect Leader said, patting them on the shoulders.
“Headquarters?” Qin Wenke raised an eyebrow, “Sect Leader, where is this headquarters?”
“So many questions—just go and you’ll find out.”
Qin Wenke and Li Xuanxiao exchanged a look and nodded in unison.
Looks like there really was a big fish.
Li Xuanxiao hoped this mission would end soon.
Based on cultivation ranks—
This branch sect leader was only at the Peak Foundation Establishment Stage.
Headquarters’ leader might be at the Golden Core Stage, at most Half-step Nascent Soul.
So, the two of them left the branch with the person from headquarters.
“.........”
Several days later.
Li Xuanxiao and Qin Wenke stood aboard a flying boat with many Demon Sect disciples from various branches.
“You are all members of our Demon Sect. This training is to find and cultivate the best talents among you.”
The Demon Sect envoy speaking paused, then continued:
“Soon, you will be dropped into the forest below.
This forest has been refined by a Body Fusion Stage powerhouse. It has special rules.
Inside, everyone’s cultivation will be suppressed to Foundation Establishment Stage, regardless of your actual level.
In the forest, there are many techniques and cultivation-boosting pills.
Once you pick up a technique, it becomes yours instantly and will be mastered fully.
Consume a cultivation pill, and your cultivation will rise rapidly.
But all this only applies inside the forest. Fellow Daoists, don’t come out thinking you’re invincible.
If you defeat someone in the forest, you gain their cultivation and techniques.
The safe zone of the forest will gradually shrink.
Those outside the safe zone will be eliminated. In the end, we will select the top three.”
Li Xuanxiao frowned deeply, “.....This setup... feels way too familiar!?”
