Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 299 The Key to Breaking the Situation
Tianyin Demon Sect, the only super sect that only recruits women.
Although there is a word "demon" in the sect, this "demon" is more like a way of expressing that they are unrestrained. The disciples are proficient in rituals and music, so even if they are called demon cultivators, they are not afraid of the great Confucian scholars, and even get along well with the Confucian sect.
Young scholars would sometimes go to the great province where the Tianyin Demon Sect was located to ask the Tianyin Demon Sect to use the magic sounds to temper their character.
Of course, water dripping can wear away a stone. In the endless temptation and fall, even if your heart is as hard as a rock, you will become lax sometimes. Once you become lax, you will fall endlessly.
At that time, the disciples of the Tianyin Demon Sect will show their demonic side. If they are greedy for women, they will turn women into teachers for those scholars.
The effect is outstanding.
However, because the Tianyin Demon Sect does not prohibit its disciples from falling in love, sometimes scholars and disciples of the Tianyin Demon Sect fall in love with each other.
If it were an old-fashioned scholar, he would probably scold him, but the Confucian school has undergone tens of thousands of years of changes. Not only would they not scold him, but sometimes they would get angry and use a ruler to teach the scholar a lesson if the scholar had doubts about the relationship.
People only live once, and once a hundred years have passed, you're just a handful of dust. What's there to worry about?
Those scholars were all mortals who lived for a hundred years at most, so Dayu and the Taoists turned a blind eye to them.
But in contrast, the relationship between Bingmen and Tianyin Demon Sect is very bad.
The Bing Sect believes that the Tianyin Demon Sect is using evil spirits to confuse people's minds, while the Tianyin Demon Sect believes that the Bing Sect does not understand people's minds as well as the Buddhist Sect.
The two sides argued for tens of thousands of years without any clear conclusion, but the Tianyin Demon Sect also slapped the Bingmen in the face on something.
Those Tianyin Demon Sect disciples who fell in love with the scholar would immediately leave the sect after confirming their relationship, spend the rest of their lives with the scholar as mortals, and grow old together. After that, those Tianyin Demon Sect disciples would greatly increase their cultivation, and would not use magical powers to restore their beautiful appearance, but would cultivate in the Tianyin Demon Sect as old women, teaching and educating people.
Therefore, the top leaders of the Tianyin Demon Sect are almost all old women, except for one person.
That is Hong Menglian, the leader of the Tianyin Demon Sect. Time has not left any traces on her, but has made her more mature and plump, with the maturity of a mature woman and the tenderness of a young girl.
Hong Menglian has been the pride of the Tianyin Demon Sect since she was born. She is invincible among her peers, but no one pursues her.
What discouraged others was not her arrogance or her ability, but her... scandal with Emperor Yu.
Everyone said behind her back that she was deeply in love with Emperor Yu, so she had such a high level of cultivation. Even the immortal ancestor of the Tianyin Demon Sect would occasionally talk to her, telling her that she didn't need to endure, and that the Tianyin Demon Sect was very open-minded. The immortal ancestor even used his own cultivation as a guarantee, so that she could pursue love without worry.
In response to this, Hong Menglian was so mad that she almost pulled her beautiful hair out.
Emperor Yu of that generation was a bastard, and those who knew it was fake but spread it deliberately were even more bastards!
That generation of Emperor Yu had died long ago, and Hong Menglian could only curse the other living people, such as Taoist Hun Tian and Taoist Tian Xuan.
So when she learned what happened in Meizhou, Hong Menglian laughed out loud and patted her thigh while laughing.
"Okay, okay - I didn't expect that you two bastards would have such a day! I'm going to go to the Taoist sect today to mess with your mentality!"
Hong Menglian was laughing happily, but she didn't notice the embarrassed expression of Hongxia who was reporting the intelligence.
After hesitating for a while, Hongxia gritted her teeth and said, "Sect Master, I think we need to take it slow..."
"Ah? Why? This has nothing to do with our Tianyin Demon Sect. Isn't this a good time to kick someone when they are down?"
"...Um, Shangguan Meir, is the expatriate disciple assigned to Baidi City. She actually also went to Meizhou," Hongxia's eyes flickered.
Shangguan Meir had reported this matter. As the contemporary Saint of the Tianyin Demon Sect, she had never expected such a thing to happen in Meizhou at that time, so she nodded.
Hong Menglian couldn't laugh anymore.
Hongxia noticed that Hong Menglian was in a bad mood and immediately added, "But Shangguan Meier also discovered something very important! And she was the only one who discovered it!"
"Really? Tell me about it."
"She said that this matter is too serious. If we tell her through the talisman, there might be risks." Hongxia thought for a moment and said seriously, "Sect Master, I actually nodded my head in this matter. I have a great responsibility."
In Hongxia's opinion, Shangguan Meir was using a very bad excuse to delay time.
After all, with her cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage, Shangguan Meir wouldn’t be able to come back for a few months.
If we really have to delay it, it can even be delayed for several years.
But as the sect leader, Hong Menglian is very idle and petty.
Hong Menglian raised her eyes, ignored Hongxia, stood up and tore open the space, reached out and pulled Shangguan Meir out.
After finishing all this, Hong Menglian sat back down, crossed her legs, and leisurely played with her nails. "Shangguan, tell me what important information you saw?"
Hongxia tried hard to wink at Shangguan Meir, hoping that Shangguan Meir would quickly admit her mistake.
But Shangguan Meier, who was in a hurry to report intelligence, didn't notice it and knelt down quickly, "Master! I saw the face of the person who mobilized the heavenly tribulation!"
Hong Menglian's pupils shrank, "Who is it!"
"It's Li Yanmo who helped Mu'er and others enter the tomb of Emperor Lie! He is with Leng Shanhe's daughter!"
"Tell me in detail what happened," Hong Menglian sat up straight.
Shangguan Meir described in as much detail as possible how she was provoked by Li Lin's words, and how she suppressed her heartache and did not go to the ancient cave residence. She then witnessed the entire process from the arrival of Li Yanmo to the time when Li Yanmo easily resolved the half-immortal ghost fog with a heavenly tribulation.
After saying that, Shangguan Meier swallowed her saliva and carefully expressed her thoughts, "I'm afraid that Tianxu Tower... has already noticed the plans of the demons and the people behind them."
Hong Menglian rubbed her fingers, her eyes flickered for a moment and then she shook her head. She had seen a lot of things in the world, so she didn't deify Tianxu Sect like Shangguan Meier did. "Not necessarily. Tianxu Tower probably just knew there was a problem, but didn't know the identity of the person behind the group of demons, so they just stopped it, not avoided it."
After hearing Hong Menglian's analysis, Shangguan Meir also calmed down.
"However, there are indeed big problems with that Demon-Slaying Ceremony."
Hong Menglian frowned. The incident in Meizhou was like a gust of wind that blew away the fog in front of them, but it also made them glimpse a more terrifying fog.
If one makes a wrong move, the situation will be hopelessly disastrous.
But fortunately, the Tianyin Demon Sect saw more.
Li Yanmo is the key to their breakthrough.
And their Tianyin Demon Sect actually has a way to get in touch with Li Yanmo.
Hong Menglian covered her face, remained silent for a while, then sighed and waved her hand as if giving up.
“…Forget it, forget it, call Hong Muer over.”
