361 The reason why we have many enemies is that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked
In the underground cave, the flames crackled with a startled sound, startling Jiang Xiao who was warming her hands by the fire.
His wandering thoughts came back to his senses, and he gradually felt a little sleepy. He took out a small blanket, wrapped himself tightly, and lay down to sleep obediently.
The second elder was delighted: "Old Seven is so lucky. His new disciple is so cute and quiet."
Shen Musi thought that if you knew that your junior brother was a demon king in the Mahayana period, you would definitely envy the master’s good fortune.
Zhao Shi was very concerned about the Devourer, and asked the Fifth and Sixth Elders about their achievements in the Monster Domain: "Two Senior Masters, have you found any clues about the Devourer in the Monster Domain?"
"What is the Devourer?" asked the Sixth Elder.
Remembering that he had not reported the matter to them yet, Lin Yan told them everything he knew.
The fifth elder was shocked after hearing this: "There are actually people in the Great Zhou who are promoting the doctrine of the 'Supplementary Sect'?!"
Chu Linfeng caught the key word: "You used the word 'also' very cleverly. Is there such an academy in the demon realm?"
"There is no such academy in the Monster Realm, but we have inquired and found that there are many monster cultivators in the Monster Clan who tend to be the 'support faction'."
The fifth elder had already sent all this information back to Tianshui Sect, but Senior Brother and Sister Lin Yan had been training outside and had not returned to the sect recently, so they were unaware of this.
The Second Elder had been in the Demon Realm for some time and had heard about this: "I'm also wondering. When I came to the Demon Realm three hundred years ago, the two theories of 'support' and 'awakening' each had their supporters, but only among high-level demon cultivators. Low-level demon cultivators struggled just to survive and had no time to think about these things."
"But this time when I came to the demon world again, I met with a few old friends and mentioned this matter. They all tended to support the 'support faction'. Including several demon cultivators who were originally from the 'awakening faction' who switched sides."
Thinking of the various methods used by the Devourer, Zhao Shi asked hurriedly, "Is he being controlled?"
The second elder thought and shook his head: "It doesn't seem like he is being controlled. Instead, he seems to be convinced and truly believes that the doctrine of the 'Supplementary Sect' is the truth. I wanted to investigate it in detail, but before I could start investigating, Mu Zisong caught up with me."
There were so many demon cultivators chasing the Second Elder just now, but the only one who could make the Second Elder escape in a panic was Mu Zisong, who was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
No matter how many other demon cultivators in the fusion stage come, the second elder has a way to deal with them calmly.
"According to our investigation, the 'Supplementary Sect' is widely spread in the Monster Domain. Many low-level monster cultivators know about it and believe it to be true. This is very likely the result of the academy's expansion." The Fifth Elder paused and stretched out his hand to Lin Yan, "Show me the fake spiritual roots you have confiscated."
Lin Yan handed over a storage bag, which contained a large number of fake spiritual roots confiscated from the academy.
The three elders each took out a few and examined them carefully. The fifth elder was the first to see the problem: "This is definitely from the demon race."
"How do you know for sure?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"Fake spiritual roots are also a kind of magic weapon after all. The flow of magic power of humans and demons is different, so the techniques of refining magic weapons and the flow of spiritual power in magic weapons are also different. Although these fake spiritual roots are disguised, they can't hide from my eyes. Those fake spiritual roots that you asked your friends to send to Jinshengmen, old guy Jin Guangcan will definitely be able to see them at a glance."
As the Fifth Elder spoke, he took out a magical instrument he had refined and injected spiritual power into it. He explained in detail to everyone the differences in the flow of spiritual power in the two instruments.
"Anyone who has the ability to refine so many pseudo spiritual roots must be a powerful force in the Demon Realm. Senior sister, you have many Taoist companions, do you have any clues?" asked the fifth elder.
The second elder shook her head, but she had a guess: "I only met a few lovers in the Fusion Stage this time. They were all so convinced. I suspect they were influenced by the cultivators in the Tribulation Stage. The most recognized strong man in the Monster Domain is Fenghen, the Monster King of the Mayfly Clan. What is his attitude towards this?"
Mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening, so to be able to cultivate to the stage of transcending tribulation is like defying the will of heaven.
The fifth elder smiled awkwardly: "How dare I go to see him?"
Thinking of the past events that Cheng Yanxi mentioned, Chu Linfeng guessed that this Senior Feng Hen was the ancestor of the Mayfly Clan who had exposed the Fifth Elder's forgery of the Demon King Seal and was in the Tribulation Period.
Jiang Xin did not embarrass the Fifth Elder, and turned to ask the Sixth Elder: "Sixth Master, didn't you go and ask about it?"
The Sixth Elder muttered quietly, "I also made money with this back then."
Jiang Xin was very disappointed with him, so she decided to put her hope on the Second Elder: "Second Uncle, you know so many high-level demon cultivators in the Demon Realm. This Demon King of the Mayfly Clan..."
Before she finished, the second elder interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "When I was stirring up trouble in the demon realm - no, I was recruiting fish ponds - no, I was just traveling around, and this demon king of the Mayfly Clan had already reached the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage. I went to find him because I was depressed."
"Are you not interested in old men in the Tribulation Period?" Chu Linfeng asked sincerely.
"No, I'm afraid that the difference between our cultivation levels is too great, and we won't be able to escape after having enough fun." The second elder said this and taught the children seriously, "Remember, no matter when or where, you must leave a way out for yourself."
Thinking of the brutality of Mu Zisong and Ao Yu, Jiang Xin was worried about her: "You don't have many options now, right?"
“At least the outside world doesn’t know that I’m the elder of Tianshui Sect. When the day comes when I really have no way to retreat, the worst that can happen is that I will return to the sect and hide for a few hundred years.” The second elder has always been walking around as a casual cultivator, and his vest is tightly covered and has not been taken off by anyone until now.
Lin Yan felt sorry for her: "You are missing out on such a good fish."
The Second Elder thought so too, but even though she was a playboy, she still valued her life: "Besides the matter of Fifth Junior Brother, there are other reasons why I don't want to provoke Feng Hen."
"What's the reason?"
"Fate." The fifth elder uttered these two words mysteriously.
The second elder rolled his eyes at him and said, "If Feng Hen knew you said that, he would definitely beat you up. This matter has to be counted as a grudge from a previous generation."
After getting the seal of the fake Demon King, Feng Hen was promoted to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. One time, he and Taoist Master Zhuyue entered a secret realm together. When the two were fighting for a top-grade spiritual plant, Feng Hen was defeated by Taoist Master Zhuyue and was seriously injured, with his wings plucked out.
Thinking of the master's true form being just a little white rabbit with ordinary blood, Chu Linfeng was amazed: "Master is really cruel."
"Don't say that. Afterwards, the master came to visit us in person with gifts to express his apology." said the fifth elder.
The Second Elder chuckled: "Maybe Master won't come to visit. Even if he comes empty-handed, it's better than coming with a gift like that."
Jiang Xin became interested and asked with shining eyes: "What gift did Master bring?"
The three elders were silent at the same time.
Finally, the Sixth Elder could no longer bear the children's curious gazes and said silently, "Master took into consideration that Feng Hen, as the Mayfly Demon King, was alone and lacked a companion, so he caught many mayflies and gave them to him to relieve his loneliness."
"Isn't this good?" Chu Linfeng didn't understand why the elders had such expressions.
Second Elder: "Master cannot tell the gender of mayflies, and the mayflies he captured are both male and female. That's how the rumor that the mayfly clan demon king Fenghen eats both men and women came about."
Brother Chu Linfeng: "..."
I strongly suspect that the elders have so many enemies because the top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked.
