Chapter 225: The Supreme Sect's Number One Traitor

Xia Tianwu still had a few pills for dispelling evil spirits on him, and he stuffed them all into Hou Cang's stomach.

"Strange, Master just refined three furnaces of Qingben Zhengyuan Pills a few days ago, and got a total of thirty-six pills. Thirty of them were given to you, Uncle Master. How come there are still so many evil spirits left?"

Hou Cang pursed his cracked lips and said, "It's all used up."

Lin Du: She just knew it.

Jiang Liang arrived a step late, and seeing that everything seemed to be fine, he was about to leave with his hands behind his back.

Hou Cang recovered a little of his spiritual power and said, "Junior brother, stay here. Let's go to the main hall."

Lin Du's brows twitched when he heard this, "Master Nephew, take Yan Qing back to rest. Fifth Brother, let's go."

Xia Tianwu saw the looks on his master and uncle's faces and avoided them consciously, "I'll go make some hangover soup."

Children are not yet able to get rid of the smell of alcohol, and will unconsciously resist the spiritual energy of others entering their bodies. This is a self-protection mechanism of the monks. She has to make some sobering soup.

Hou Cang glanced at Lin Du and said, "What are you doing here? Your hair hasn't even grown back yet."

Lin Du, whose hair is almost as white as the one dyed in Paris: Who do you think has not grown all the hair?

Jiang Liang said, "Junior Sister has already taken charge of many things before Senior Sister went into seclusion. If you want to talk about the Demon Realm, Junior Sister still has some say."

Nowadays, Lin Du is the one who reads the daily reports from the cultivation world. Not to mention that Lin Du has almost finished reading all the books on the first floor of the library. He is probably more suitable for discussing matters than Jiang Liang, who is devoted to refining elixirs.

Lin Du comfortably led his fellow brothers back to the main hall like a master, and burned incense and made tea as he was familiar with the process, waiting for Feng Yi to come back.

After seeing the whole process:

"It seems that I have been in seclusion for too long. I didn't know that the Supreme Sect is now headed by my junior sister."

"Junior sister is of the same generation as us after all, so why can't she be the head of the family?" A clear male voice came from the palace door.

Lin Du took a look and saw that it was He Gui who had been following them.

He Gui has been stationed in Junding Prefecture for many years. He sensed that several of his junior apprentice disciples were drunk in Dingjiu City. He watched them all the way back to the sect. When he was about to go back, he saw Hou Cang, who was covered in blood and had an evil aura, so he decided to go home to take a look.

"Fourth Senior Brother doesn't like being the head of the family, so naturally he doesn't understand why anyone would like to be the head of the family. I understand, I completely understand." Lin Du brought the last cup of tea to Sixth Senior Brother He Gui.

He Gui took it with a smile, lowered his head and sniffed it, "The incense covers up the fragrance of the tea, what a pity."

"Oh, I'll go get rid of the bloody smell." Lin Du said righteously.

"That makes sense." He Gui agreed and clinked glasses with Lin Du.

Most of the ninety-ninth generation disciples looked at the fourth elder as a loser. One reason was that the eldest senior sister could have broken through to the fifth stage long ago, but had to delay because of sect affairs, and as a result, the people below were also forced to share some of the responsibilities. He Gui was the little loser.

Second, when Lin Tuan was the leader, Hou Cang was like a watchdog that only recognized one master, biting and barking at outsiders.

He Gui is a very amiable person, but he is really annoyed with this senior brother.

But if we really say there is a grudge, then there is none. Apart from not liking outsiders to get close to the Lintuan Society and using some harmless tricks on them, Hou Cang is, after all, a fellow disciple and they have fought side by side together. Hou Cang is very reliable when it comes to serious matters, so it's okay to just keep his promises.

Their supreme leader beats someone who has a grudge and speaks out.

He Gui looked at the little junior sister in front of him and thought that the little cotton-padded jacket was better. She was much more reliable than that evil dog that destroyed the house.

Lin Du leaned on the small table with her head propped up. Although the alcohol had worn off, she planned to take a nap today and was a little sleepy now. The way she lowered her eyes and didn't smile was still very confusing, making people wonder if she was thinking about something important.

The moment Feng Yi arrived, not only did he fail to relieve the tense atmosphere in the hall, but it made it worse.

Hou Cang didn't want to delay any further, so he said directly, "I went to the Demon Realm to investigate on the orders of my master. There are a lot of new monsters in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, dozens of times more than two hundred years ago. I wanted to go in and seal the Origin Cave temporarily, but there were too many monsters, probably at least hundreds of thousands. Although they are all low-level monsters, they are still annoying. I used up a bottle of pills but still couldn't get close to the center, so I had to give up and return."

"It seems that the decline of the laws of nature and the growth of demonic energy are inevitable." Feng Yi took the tea brewed by Lin Du and summarized.

Lin Du lowered his eyes, still looking listless.

"I'm afraid if this continues, there will be a demonic tide." He Gui straightened his expression, "Brother, did anyone else investigate this time? For example... people from Fanqian City?"

"Of course, that group of evil demons couldn't have been unaware of this," Hou Cang frowned slightly. "So many low-level demons were bred and devoured each other. The evil demons from Fanqian City must have gone there to devour those low-level demons."

In the eyes of the evil spirit, there are no peers, only food.

"It's not a good sign." He Gui also frowned, "The last small demonic tide was five or six thousand years ago."

Lin Du suddenly spoke up, "I'm afraid it's a great demonic tide."

He Gui and Feng Yi looked at Lin Du at the same time. The child was lying on the table listlessly, and the candlelight cast a shadow in her eyes.

"In the ancient history of cultivation, there is always a demonic tide every ten thousand years."

Lin Du lowered his eyes and spoke in a gentle voice.

The existence of demons is like the opposite of spiritual practice. Now the world of cultivation has been peaceful for too long, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the cultivators are thriving. Spiritual energy is being absorbed and consumed, and the demonic energy will certainly sense the reduction in suppression and naturally rise.

The arrival of the demonic tide caused great losses to spiritual practitioners. When spiritual power returns to the world, it will surely suppress the demonic energy again and restore the balance.

It's as if... Heaven is selectively eliminating unnecessary waste.

"Five or six thousand years ago, the book didn't record it as serious as Senior Brother Hou Cang said," Lin Du paused, raised his eyelids, and looked at him clearly, without any trace of temptation. "My master said that the way of heaven is to take away the surplus and make up for the deficiency."

"What I want to ask is, why do people think that the unstable power of the Heavenly Dao rules caused the leakage of the source of demonic energy?"

"Instead of... because the power of the rules of Heaven is unstable, and Heaven is afraid that it will continue to weaken, and the world will collapse or explode. In order to protect itself, it chooses to increase the power of one side while the other side decreases, giving rise to the demonic tide?"

Everyone looked at the little sister with distinct features under the bright light and took a breath of air at the same time.

What on earth did the little junior sister learn? This is simply the number one traitor of their Supreme Sect, oh no, of their righteous path.

Feng Yi began to reflect whether the Heart Sutra that Feng Chao had taught the child to copy since childhood was not enough.

Several people stared at the junior sister. As expected, she still needed to be taught well. The one who taught her was Yan Ye... Yan Ye was also a rebel against the righteous path. He acted recklessly and was reclusive in Fengchao and Cangli.

Then they need to study carefully the important task of teaching their junior sisters.

The righteous path conforms to the Way of Heaven and comprehends the Way of Heaven. How did Lin Du, a righteous cultivator, come up with thoughts that criticize the Way of Heaven?

Hou Cang suddenly spoke up, "I think what Junior Sister said makes sense."

Several people in the room looked at Hou Cang at the same time.

There were countless wounds on his body left by evil demons, and the dried and mottled blood on his white robe still did not diminish the ethereal spirit of this flower of the alpine mountains.

But at this moment, when he looked at this little junior sister who always competed with him for the master's attention, there was actually a gratified smile on his face, as if saying "Good brother, I am optimistic about you."

The brothers and sisters all leaned back, forgetting about this traitor.

No, we can’t let him corrupt our little sister.

Hou Cang smiled slightly, "Master once told me to teach my junior sister the art of exorcising demons. I originally thought that our paths were different. I thought..."

"no!"

The three people in the room spoke at the same time, "No you don't want to!"

"Just let us teach you, little junior sister." Feng Yi interrupted him decisively.

Lin Du: Hmm?

"Actually, I'm willing to learn from you..."

It would be best to find out what Hou Cang is thinking, and if you can't figure it out, just bury it.

In a physical sense.

“Those of us who practice Taoism should follow the will of Heaven, but we also have to fight for our own survival. I will inform the other sects to prepare for defense.” Feng Yi finalized the matter.

"Junior sister." Feng Yi patted Lin Du's little head and smiled kindly, "It's late, go to bed."

I will teach you more tomorrow.

Hou Cang frowned slightly and watched Lin Du leave. "She is very smart."

Feng Yi shook her head. "It has to be used in the right way. I'm afraid that she will be in trouble when she chooses the right path."

If you develop a rejection of the Way of Heaven, it will be difficult to comprehend the rules of the Way of Heaven and advance.

Lin Du sighed as he walked out of the palace, feeling inexplicably that he might face some terrible oppression tomorrow.

Or maybe I should just shut myself up and hide for a while. I’ve been suppressed for a long time and it’s time to advance to the later stage. I’ll go back and swallow the Snow Yuan Pill.
