Chapter 91: The Former Leader's Token

To be fair, Nanwang felt that the story told by Zhong Wangsheng was not very reasonable.

Although he acknowledged that love-brained people would never have a good ending, he never imagined it could be this bad.

Even if the script can't be made into a story about Long Aotian's rise to power, it should at least be a physically and mentally torturous love story, right?

How did this become a criminal case?!

Moreover, Zhong Wangsheng's narrative style is too problematic. There is no beginning, development, climax or conclusion at all and the ending is just like this. It's too hard to bear!

However, as a person with high emotional intelligence, Nan Wang naturally would not say what he was thinking directly. They had just met each other and Zhong Wangsheng had done him a favor, so he had to give him some face.

"Brother Zhong, the story you told is really good, very...cautionary. Although the ending of the protagonist is very tragic, it teaches us that we must never fall in love with the brain."

Nanwangxuan racked his brains to come up with some words of praise, hoping that Zhong Wangsheng would be satisfied.

Zhong Wangsheng nodded with a complicated expression.

[Brother Nan, if you were a relative or friend of the protagonist in the story, would you choose to avenge him - to cut the liar into pieces? ]

Nan Wang did not hesitate for long before answering: "If I have the ability, I will definitely avenge him. I will not be a human being if I don't avenge such a blood feud!"

Zhong Wangsheng nodded heavily.

Nanwang said again:

"However, there is a saying that goes, 'revenge will never end.' If I kill that liar, his relatives and friends will come after me for revenge, and this cycle will never end... I also have my own life to live, and I don't want to waste my whole life in hatred, so I might consider letting go of the hatred and living my own life.

"Of course, for many things, you can only make a decision when it really happens to you. When you make assumptions, everyone will think of themselves as being in a situation that they can handle or let go of. But when you are really in that situation, it may not be the case. I am just saying something irrelevant, so don't take it to heart..."

Zhong Wangsheng nodded, then shook his head.

A line of words appeared on the stone slab, then quickly disappeared. Then another line of words appeared, then disappeared again.

What was left on the stone slab in the end was a sentence that Nanwang could not understand:

[This is not just some frivolous talk. The decisions you make are always right.]

Although Nanwang didn't understand what Zhong Wangsheng meant, he still said "yes, yes, yes" twice in a very friendly manner.

We just met each other, so it's normal to have some communication barriers.

The two chatted for a while.

After learning that Zhong Wangsheng had just arrived in the area and had been robbed on the road, so had no place to stay for the time being, Nan Wang generously booked him a room upstairs in the inn, which was right next to his room.

The location of this inn is very good, and the fees are quite high. Fortunately, they will not stay here for long. In two days, the Demonic Cult will be recruiting disciples, so Nanwang is ready to pack up and join the Demonic Cult.

The news that the Demonic Cult has been aggressively recruiting new disciples recently has spread to the righteous sects, so Nan Wang chose this opportunity to come to the Demon Realm.

However, what Nan Wang had not expected was that during the short ten days while he was traveling, sightseeing and eating delicacies along the way, the Demonic Cult had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The leader Tong Dongyang died, and the new leader is the male protagonist Tong Yan, who hates Qingyun Sect to the core.

Originally, Nan Wang planned to make good use of the senior sister's connections in the Demonic Sect and easily sneak into the sect to learn talisman making. But now... the senior sister's connections are definitely useless, and Nan Wang has to find his own way to join the Demonic Sect.

Nan Wang initially thought about using the connections in the Hehuan Sect to get into the Tianmo Sect, but now he thinks it’s a good thing that he didn’t do that.

After Tong Yan took over the Demonic Sect, he put a high price on the heads of Qingyun Sect disciples. If the people of the Demonic Sect knew that he had been in Qingyun Sect before, they would definitely take action against him even though they knew he was an undercover agent.

To be honest, the current situation of the Demonic Sect is unclear. Nan Wang felt a little unsure about joining the sect without knowing it.

But then again, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Nan Wang originally wanted to find out the movements of the male protagonist. Now the male protagonist is in the Heavenly Demon Sect, and he was about to join the Heavenly Demon Sect. Thinking of this, the benefits of joining the Heavenly Demon Sect are even greater.

The last straw that made Nan Wang make up his mind was that Zhong Wangsheng's destination was also the Tianmo Sect.

It is rare to make new friends during a trip, and their destination is the same as yours. Isn’t this destined by God?

Although they had only known each other for a few days, Nan Wang could clearly say that Zhong Wangsheng was definitely the kindest and most pitiful person he had ever met since he came to the world of immortal cultivation.

Not only can he not see clearly and speak incoherently, he is also slow-tempered. When he is bullied, he does not know how to fight back. He just stays in the corner with his head down, and no one knows what he is thinking.

But the naughty rabbit An Nuo especially liked to tease him. He would always stretch out his paws and poke at him from a distance, or suddenly throw a spiritual fruit into his arms after eating and drinking, and then draw it away with his spiritual energy. He would laugh heartily at the pitiful look of Zhong Wangsheng groping around for the spiritual fruit.

Nan Wang has apologized countless times in the past few days and has scolded An Nuo many times, but Zhong Wangsheng is such a nice person. Every time he says he doesn't care before he opens his mouth, Nan Wang doesn't know what to do.

Privately, Nan Wang once grabbed Little Bunny's long ears to warn him not to always bully good people, but Little Bunny not only did not listen to the advice at all, he also said righteously, "I'm not bullying you, I'm just playing with a fool", "You're already cultivating immortals but still so stupid, if I don't bully you, someone else will, so I might as well bully you."

Nanwang was also helpless.

I have to say that An Nuo's twisted logic does make some sense in the world of immortal cultivation, especially since this is the demon world, and there are many evil people who are sweet-mouthed but treacherous and will eat people without blinking an eye. It is extremely difficult for a good person like Zhong Wangsheng who is powerless to survive.

Fortunately, Zhong Wangsheng met them, and they can take care of each other.

Of course, it was mainly him and Ann Nuo who took care of Zhong Wangsheng.

This is what Nan Wang really thought at the moment. He and An Nuo took care of Zhong Wangsheng.

Until three days later, the day when the Demonic Cult recruited people.

Nanwang and his group packed their bags and walked to their destination, chatting and laughing all the way.

A long queue formed in front of the gate of the Demonic Cult, with many mortals waiting to have their spiritual roots tested and join the sect.

To the people in the Northern Territory, the status of the Demon Cult is exactly the same as that of the Immortal Sect in the Central Plains. Everyone is pursuing immortality and the great way, and there is no distinction between good and evil, noble and humble.

As cultivators with some skills, Nan Wang and his companions could form another shorter team. This team didn't have many people, but the pass rate was very low. None of the dozen or so independent cultivators ahead of Nan Wang passed.

The Demon Cult disciple in charge of the review seemed to have eagle eyes and golden pupils. He picked out many monks who were sent by the immortal sect to be undercover in the Heavenly Demon Cult from the team. After being exposed, those monks ran away on the spot, but the Heavenly Demon Cult was not a pushover. They immediately sent out a law enforcement team to hunt them down, causing chaos in the whole place.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Nanwang's turn.

He followed the previous man's method and injected spiritual energy into the dead branches on the table.

A cute little white flower soon bloomed on the dead branch.

The demon sect disciple glanced at him and said casually, "You are only at the initial stage of Qi Refining. Your cultivation level is too high, so we won't accept you."

Nan Wang was confused: "Ah? Why?"

His cultivation level, which had just reached the Refining Qi stage, was just a foundation in the Qingyun Sect. How come he exceeded the standard here?

The demon sect disciple glanced at him and said with disdain, "Do you think we are stupid? You are not that old, and you are still using spiritual energy. You have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. Who would believe you if you said that you didn't have the help of the immortal sect behind you?"

Nanwang: “…”

I was careless.

The Qingyun Sect was very lenient when it came to the screening of its disciples, as long as they had spiritual roots they would be accepted. They had not expected the Demon Cult to be so vigilant.

Nan Wang gritted his teeth, took out a token from his pocket, and placed it in front of the demon sect disciple: "Brother, I am really not an undercover agent. I have an old relationship with your leader. Look, this is the token your leader left for me."

"Oh, it is indeed the leader's token, but yours is the token of the previous leader!"

The demon sect disciple rolled his eyes:

"It's been a long time since the dynasty changed, and you're still holding the token of the previous leader. Even if you're not an undercover agent of the immortal sect, you might be here to avenge the previous leader. Who would dare to accept a cultivator like you? Get out of here! If you don't get out, I'll call the law enforcement team!"

The demon cult disciple casually threw the token back into Nanwanghuai and made a gesture to drive him away.

The hand was swung so hard that it almost hit Nan Wang's face.

Seeing this, Nan Wang was not ready to get into trouble anymore. Just as he was about to take two steps back, he suddenly felt someone pulling him hard from behind.

Zhong Wangsheng frowned and pulled Nan Wang out of the attack range of the demon sect disciples, his face full of anger.

He didn't get angry when An Nuo used him as a target in the inn, but at this moment, he was not only angry, but also very angry, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like black water was flowing out.

Nan Wang hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll think of another way, or you can take the test first."

The demon sect disciple sneered: "I'm telling you that you are out of your mind. You have a problem, and your friends have problems too. Don't even think about joining our Heavenly Demon Sect!"

Nanwang: “…”

An Nuo poked his head out from behind Nan Wang and stuck out his tongue at the demon sect disciple.

Zhong Wangsheng's face became even uglier, and demonic energy began to gather in his palms. Extremely dangerous black fire slowly appeared at his fingertips, which could take the life of this demon sect disciple in a moment.

"What's all the noise!"

Suddenly, a voice attracted everyone's attention.

The demon sect disciple looked back and immediately lowered his head and said, "Greetings, Great Protector!"

The man known as the Great Protector walked straight towards Nanwang, his brows furrowed. Seeing that Nanwang was about to take the token back, he quickly reached out to stop Nanwang's movement and snatched the token from his hand. At the moment when Nanwang was so nervous that he even started to pinch the talisman, he spoke:

"So you are my distinguished guest! I am a subordinate who does not know the rules and has offended you. Please forgive me. If you had informed me before coming here, it would have been better... Why don't you apologize to me now!"

The disciple of the Demon Sect was stunned at first, then immediately bowed his head and apologized to Nan Wang, even slapping himself in the face while apologizing.

Nanwang was totally confused.

How come he went from an undercover agent to a VIP in the blink of an eye?

The Great Protector bent his waist and said flatteringly: "You are the distinguished guest of the leader. You don't need to go through this process. We have a special admission examination for distinguished guests. Please follow me."

Nan Wang asked: "It is true that I am the guest of the previous leader, but the previous leader is no longer here, and you are..."

"You worry too much!"

The Great Protector glanced at someone behind Nanwang and spoke after careful consideration:

"It's like this. Although you are holding the token of the previous leader, since it is your token, the current leader... will naturally recognize it."

Nanwang: “???”

Is this still talking about tokens?

Why does the current leader seem like a cheater who is still willing to take over?
