Chapter 311: New Disciples Join the Sect
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"You think it's related to that person, too?" Lonemoon's eyes brightened. The demons apparently had a purpose. Besides, when they were in that little village, the only one who seemed abnormal was the one that Shen Ying saw, the one that the Godfiend said karma was tilted towards. The karma of this world moves irregularly, and seldom concentrates on one person, yet the total remains constant. This meant that once the karma on one person increases, others have less.
The person that Shen Ying mentioned karma was tilted towards had already left, and in the same night the demons attacked the village. Right afterwards, Green Robes Sect just next to it got destroyed. The vicinity made it hard for one to not make connections between them.
"What does Supremacy mean? Have you known the reason behind it?" Lou Hong was confused, listening to them.
"It's nothing." Lonemoon looked at him and said, "The demons probably attacked Green Robes Sect because they were after someone or something."
Lou Hong nodded. Indeed, a small sect like Green Robes Sect couldn't mean much to a tenth level-Demon Monarch. Unless they were looking for something.
"Oh yeah, my Junior Brother and I have also found a few new disciples of Green Robes Sect in a secret chamber."
"Disciples?" Lonemoon's look grew cold, "So..."

Lou Hong somehow shivered slightly, "So... We brought them back."
"You are going to let them join the sect?" Lonemoon sneered, and his face expressed: "You are already so poor that you can't even provide for yourselves, how dare you still take in new disciples!"
"Uh..." Cold sweat suddenly emerged on Lou Hong's face. "Am- among them, some have quite good talents."
"Hmph!"
Lou Hong didn't dare to speak. Poverty reduces one's self-esteem.
Since Supremacy Lonemoon came to Honesty Sect, within a short span of months, the whole sect had changed. The Spirit Qi had become much thicker. Moreover, the ways of managing the sect that he taught them was actually useful, and the sect became much more well-to-do financially.
Especially since they had obtained spirit stones, every time he met people from top-tier sects, he didn't feel afraid anymore. In the past, it was an immense reward to give a disciple a single piece of Dharma clothing, yet now almost everyone had it.
The Dharma treasures which they kept with extreme care and didn't dare using under normal circumstances, could be thrown aside casually after every usage after they obtained the spirit stones. These were things that he had never imagined over his hundreds of years of practicing. Yet all of them came true now.

It was all thanks to Supremacy Lonemoon. If he had not opposed fervently, and had that sense of disdain towards them, he had wanted to even throw... uh no, pass the position of sect master to him. With him here, they could expect to become a top-tier sect in the near future!
The only trouble was that Supremacy Lonemoon had a slightly bad temper. Though his expression didn't change much, every time his face darkened, Lou Hong felt as if cold wind was piercing through his bones, and his legs couldn't help but started shaking... Perhaps this was the majesty of upper level cultivators, he thought.
Perhaps in this whole world, only that friend of Supremacy could remain calm and casual in front of him!
By the way... What was that Supremacy's name?
He subconsciously looked towards the side, at the woman who had already leisurely finished a plate of fruit. Shen... Shen... Shen Yi? Shen Yang? Aunt? [the word for "aunt" is "shen shen" in Chinese]
(╯_╰)
Okay, this was not important.
"Supremacy, those are all half-grown children, and they have nowhere to go." Lou Hong continued, laughing, "Besides, it is almost time that our sect takes in new disciples. The Elders of the sect are all waiting outside. Perhaps Supremacy can take a look together before deciding?"
Lonemoon frowned and then nodded.

Lou Hong made a few commands, and soon, some Dao Lords of the sect who had achieved Core Formation, and the second Nascent Soul cultivator Lou Rui, came inside. Perhaps because they had been caught by Lonemoon regarding financial matters recently, after greeting they looked towards the door and waited for the disciples to come inside, as if afraid that Lonemoon would start chatting with them.
Lou Hong had ordered to bring the disciples from Disciples' Hall. Within a quarter of an hour, they could see a group of children, around ten years of age, approaching from the distance. There were a few dozens in total, some in green robes, others in blue and white disciples' clothing.
After they entered, they lined up in the audience hall and saluted together, before they started looking at the people inside the hall with curiosity and excitement.
This was the exact same group of children who had a conflict at Disciples' Hall just now.
Jing Qi was taller than his peers, so he stood in the back. He felt a little nervous. Only after coming to Honesty Sect did he realize Green Robes Sect, which used to be like a fairyland in his eyes, was only a lower-tier immortal sect.
After Green Robes Sect was destroyed, and they had been brought here by the sect master of Honesty Sect, he guessed that he meant to keep them here. Besides, with his quality, he probably wouldn't have a problem entering any sect. He had no dislike towards Honesty Sect at first. Yet after what happened with Yi Qing and the fatty, he was hesitant.
A wise man does not stay in a dangerous environment. He only knew afterwards that the fatty was the son of the sect master. He had already offended him and didn't regret it, yet if he stayed on, inevitably he would seek revenge. Unless... He couldn't help but look towards the front. He heard that two Soul Formation Supremacies had just joined Honesty Sect a couple months ago. If he could become a disciple of theirs, he wouldn't need to worry any more.
He wouldn't help but glanced at the two at the top, but he suddenly looked into a pair of narrowed eyes. He was shocked and was stunned immediately.
The person at the top actually inclined her head slightly. "Wow," It was indeed her.
"What is it?" Lonemoon turned to look at Shen Ying, who suddenly spoke. Subconsciously, he followed her gaze.

Jing Qi buried his head immediately, and inside his head, thoughts emerging like huge waves. That woman... was apparently the one who ate at wild kid's house that day. She... She was actually a Soul Formation Supremacy!
His mind was suddenly a mess, and before he got his thoughts straight, Yi Qing who came together with him suddenly walked out of the crowd to the front, and in the surprising looks of him and others he approached that woman, and called very naturally, "Master."
Jing Qi drew back his stare, and resentment was almost overflowing in his eyes. That was his master! What a wild kid... no, Yi Qing! No wonder he deliberately angered him and made him leave that day. So he had always known that it was a Soul Formation Supremacy inside the house, and just didn't want him to get Supremacy's favor too. What a scheming heart!
"Hmm," Shen Ying nodded, remembering he was still a child, handed over a fruit, "There!"
Yi Qing stopped short, looked at the fruit in her hand, took it, and his little brows wrinkled subconsciously. He eventually replied, "... Thank you, Master." They already said that the fruit was not ripe yet.

"You have gotten your disciple name card?" Lonemoon whose sight had already dropped on Chef asked casually.
"Yup." Yi Qing nodded and turned to stand beside Shen Ying obediently. He must return soon to cook for Master, he thought. He couldn't let Master eat such unripened fruit any more.
Lou Hong looked at Lonemoon in the upper seat and suggested with a smile, "Supremacy, among the disciples we brought back this time, there were indeed some of good quality. One of them was actually a celestial spirit root of fire element, apparently well suited to sword cultivation, it seems?" He started his recommendation right away, implicitly urging Lonemoon to take on a disciple too.
"Aren't we a sword cultivation sect?" Lonemoon wasn't moved. He took up the teacup. "The sword cultivator cultivates the Heart of the Sword. It has little relation to the Spirit Root. Besides, the differences in Spirit Root was merely due to the different amount of Spirit Qi absorbed. We do not lack Spirit Qi here!"
"Yes, yes!" Lou Hong's mouth twitched. You are rich, so whatever you say is true! But he thought about it, and still added, "This disciple is good at understanding matters and smart too. According to these surviving young disciples of Green Robes Sect, he was the one who told everybody to hide in that secret chamber, therefore allowing them to escape the massacre."
"Oh?" Lonemoon raised his brows slightly.
Seeing his interest, Lou Hong continued, "Supremacy has no disciple at the moment. Since even Shen... Shen... Supremacy Shen has a disciple now, Supremacy may as well take one too. It will also allow you to pass on your knowledge."

Lonemoon's mouth twitched. How could he lack disciples? There were still more than two hundred disciples in the Invincible Heavenly Palace of Celestial World. Didn't he teach them all? If not for Shen Ying's crazy idolized method, how could they not achieve proper cultivation? How could they?
Even for Yi Qing who was supposedly the disciple of Shen Ying, wasn't he the one who ended up doing the teaching? Hmph!
Seeing that he did not reply after a long time, Lou Hong thought that he silently agreed, and hurried to scan the group of children in front of him, before waving at Jing Qi, who had met him once previously.
"Come, child. Come to the front for Supremacy to see!"
The children were amazed, and all of them looked back in curiosity.
Jing Qi felt a joy in his heart, and the hands on his side tightened. Okay! There were two Supremacies in Honesty Sect, and should he become a disciple of the other, he wouldn't be in a lower position than Yi Qing.
He suppressed the excitement, side-stepped and walked forward through the crowd.
Only now did Lonemoon look up.

And then...
Pew!
He was so shocked by the scene he saw that he spit out the tea, and stood up from his chair instantly.
"Holy shit!"
What the hell is this? The "wow" sound that Shen Ying made just now immediately came to his mind. He turned to the person beside him and stared at her angrily, "You had known it all along!"
"Not really," Shen Ying inclined her head. "Only since two minutes ago."
"F*ck! Would it hurt you to give me a little reminder?"
"Nope."
"I beg your pardon?!" He said slowly.
Ads by Revcontent
"I just reminded you." Only that you were looking at Chef and didn't notice it.
"..." Motherf*cker!
Lonemoon had an impulse of tearing her apart.
"Su-Supremacy?" Lou Hong's face was full of confusion. How did they suddenly start fighting? Was he supposed to try and make peace? "What... What is the matter? Is there something wrong with this child?"
Lonemoon's mouth twitched , as he looked at Jing Qi down there once more, before sitting back into the chair. "... No."
Nothing would appear wrong in the eyes of others. It was just a boy of around ten years old. Only that in his eyes, this child whose height didn't even reach his waist was shrouded by a vague shadow. The two body shapes were stacked, as if the boy was wearing a transparent human-shaped costume.
What's more, the shadow was a fat man, almost shaped like a ball. He could even clearly see the layers of his belly hanging low, just blocking a certain unspeakable body part.
That's right. It was a naked fat man, whose fat face wore the exact same expression as the child within his body. More importantly, within the flesh of that shadow, there were certain familiar aura. That was exactly the karma which according to the Godfiend, had suddenly tilted and disappeared.
But all these paled in the more important realization that suddenly came to his mind the moment that he saw him: intruder!
Holy shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!
Ads by Revcontent
He felt an irresistible urge to curse.
——————
Apparently, the person in front of them was the product of the last plane alarm. This was an intruder who transmigrated from another plane. As a newbie, Lonemoon was in fact unsure how to deal with the so-called plane emergency. Besides, the shadow didn't seem to recognize the both of them. This was different from any of those plane intrusions that Shen Ying casually mentioned. He turned to look at Shen Ying, and seeing that she didn't show the intent to deal with the matter immediately, he had to bear with it first.
"What does Supremacy think of this child?" Lou Hong was ready to continue with his praise.
Lou Tao suddenly rushed inside, an anxious look written all over his face. "Dad, dad, it's no good!"
"Tao!" Lou Hong scolded him, "What are you doing, panicking like this?"
"Dad..." Lou Tao remembered his purpose and said in a hurry, "It's no good. Little Junior Brother suddenly started to cough blood. Uncle-Master at Hall of Medicine said he needed Qi Preserving Pills to recover."
"Ji Shu?" Lou Hong frowned. "Talk slower and tell me, how did he get hurt? And how did it hurt the meridians?" Qi Preserving Pills was actually necessary.

Lou Tao was stunned, and turned to point at Jing Qi. "He was hurting fighting with him. I thought at first that he only fainted. I didn't expect it to be so serious." With that said, he explained all that happened in front of Disciples' Hall just now.
Jing Qi's expression turned cold, and a chilling look appeared in his eyes. This fatty was indeed despicable. He must have deliberately chosen this moment to complain about me.
"Nonsense!" Lou Hong's face darkened, as he stared at him. "Regardless of the reason, disciples are not supposed to fight each other. Whatever that happens, there are the Uncle-Masters to deal with it." He turned to look at Jing Qi. "It's the same for you. Although you are not a disciple of our sect, you are not supposed to casually hurt people."
He had scolded both sides, and treated it as mere playing between children. Yet in his heart some appreciation towards Jing Qi arose. After all, being able to defeat someone at fifth level of Qi Refinement while himself was only at third level was sufficient proof that he had extraordinary quality indeed.
Yet apparently, he himself did not think so. Jing Qi's face turned even darker, and a gloominess spread all over him. Like father, like son. One had come to complain after agreeing to drop the case, and the other was partial.
He subconsciously looked towards the sage-like Supremacy, and started expecting that he would be different from the others, and that he would be able to see the truth and give him justice.
Yet the man remained silent for a long while, like he was thinking about something. Lou Hong had already taken out a bottle of Qi Preserving Pills and handed it over to Lou Tao.

"Go and let your Junior Brother take this. Ask him to go and receive his punishment himself after his injuries had healed!" With that said, he looked at Jing Qi and added, "The same for you. Go and receive punishment later!"
"Thanks, dad!" Lou Tao was happy, and probably thinking about his Junior Brother, he rushed out without looking at Jing Qi at the side.
Yet Jing Qi's hands tightened, and the grievances in his heart grew even stronger. Both of them had received punishment but not Lou Tao. He was biased indeed.
"Supremacy." After dealing with this little accident, Lou Hong looked at Lonemoon and couldn't help but still want to make him accept the disciple. "Look at this child..."
After what happened just now, Jing Qi felt both nervous and expectant. The Soul Formation Supremacy ought to be different, perhaps.
Yet in the next instant he heard him say...
"I'm not accepting disciples!"
Ads by Revcontent
Jing Qi's heart felt cold, and the expecting expression disappeared immediately. A rush of angered came to him. Hmph, what Soul Formation Supremacy, he was just the same as all these people. And he actually held extra hopes for him.
"This..." Lou Hong was stunned for a moment. "Would Supremacy like to consider it a bit more? In any case, the celestial spirit root is rare."
"There'll be no need. I didn't have the intention to accept disciples today, anyway. Besides, sword cultivation does not place emphasis on the spirit root. However extraordinary the spirit root, in my eyes it is the same as the Five Spirit Roots." Lonemoon continued, "Sword cultivation places a greater emphasis on character. If the character is good, any spiritual root would do. Moreover, one disciple, Yi Qing, is enough for my peak. The rest will just be trouble." And they would also have to take care of his meals. Besides, no one could surpass Yi Qing in quality.
Seeing this, Lou Hong felt that he shouldn't continue persuading, and said, "Oh, okay then..."
"Don't you look down on me!" Before he finished, Jing Qi down there looked as if he couldn't hold back his words any more. His face was full of anger, like he was humiliated. He stared up at them. "If you don't like me, say it directly. What character! You don't need to do implicit mocking. Didn't you refuse to accept me because you are biased towards that little fatty?"
After this was said, not only Lonemoon, but the whole audience was shocked by this boy who suddenly burst out in anger. What is he talking about?
"Don't you think that I can't see it!" He continued to wear an expression as if he had found out the truth. He pointed at the crowd and continued to talk nonsense. "You people of Honesty Sect are all birds of a feather. You don't recognize the truth but only protect your own people. Yes, our Green Robes Sect was decimated, but we still have our pride, and we are not to be casually humiliated. Don't you look down on us!"
"Presumptuous!" Lou Hong had finally understood. He actually bred resentment just because of a rejection?
Ads by Revcontent
If this was the case now, one can't imagine what he would be after he completed cultivation! In an instant, his impression of Jing Qi fell to the bottom. At first, he was thinking that if Supremacy didn't want him, with such a good spirit root, it would be nice for himself or Junior Brother to take him on as well. But now, it seemed that Supremacy was right: Character was the most critical, and spirit root less so.
"What, you are angry because I told the truth? Old man!" Jing Qi's expression was fearless. He even glanced at Shen Ying and Lonemoon at the top and snorted, "Hmph! You are Supremacies, so what? I do not care about it! Even without you, I will be somewhere above all of you some day!"
He was getting even more nonsensical. Lou Hong was so angry that he blew up his mustache. He felt embarrassed. He was the one who most appreciated this boy previously, and what he was doing was simply slapping his face in front of everyone.
"You are so young yet talk so carelessly." But considering that he was still a child, he couldn't give him too harsh a punishment. He immediately called in two disciples, "Take him to the locked chamber in the back of the mountain and let him reflect on his faults in silence."
"Yes!" The two disciples immediately came forward to drag him.
Yet Jing Qi pushed them away and even pulled out his sword. "Do you want to kill me to silence my talking?"
"..."
Lou Hong's mouth twitched. How on earth did such dark thoughts come to such a young child? He sighed, and not wanting to speak further to him, he directly produced a hand seal to fix him in position, before waving for the disciples to bring him down. Right now, not to mention taking him as disciple, he needed to reconsider even whether or not to accept him into the sect. Because his mind didn't seem to work well!
Jing Qi was merely at Qi Refinement level, and naturally couldn't resist Nascent Soul cultivators. Seeing that he was going to be dragged away, he could only stare hard at everyone in the room, and shouted out a famous saying word by word, "Fortune was in the east bank thirty years ago, but turns to west when thirty years has passed. Don't you bully the young."

Lonemoon, "..."
Everyone: "..."
Immediately the whole audience looked at the person walking out with the type of sympathy you give an idiot.
Lonemoon's mouth twitched. This must be an idiot? What's up with this strange line?
Besides, he didn't say anything much just now at all, but simply didn't want to accept a disciple, yet he looked as if the whole world owed him. Did he transmigrate from the plane of idiots?
Lou Hong's expression was full of regret. He looked at Lonemoon meekly and hurried to change the subject, "The matter of disciples can be discussed later. Let's look into the matter of Green Robes Sect first!" He coughed and looked at the rest of Green Robes Sect disciples in the hall.
"Is there any among you who knows why those demons attacked Green Robes Sect?"
Those children looked at one another, and a hint of fear and hesitation showed in their eyes.
Lou Hong immediately comforted them, with a smile on his face, "Don't be afraid. Since you've come to Honesty Sect, you are the disciples of our sect from now on. Whatever that happens, we will protect all of you. Just tell me what you've heard and seen before coming here."
Only now did the expression of those few kids become milder. They looked at the person in front and started talking.

"We saw a lot of man-eating monsters. They ate a lot of Senior Brother..."
"And Senior Sisters. They said Senior Sisters' meat tasted better."
"They lost a lot of blood, that's when the sect master told us to hide, otherwise we would be eaten too."
"And sect master told us not to make a sound... if they can't find Green Feathers... Green Feathers Orchid?" Feathers
"Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid! Those monsters are looking for that?" Lou Hong gasped, as his widened eyes saw the group of children nodding. He hurriedly turned to Lonemoon and said, "Supremacy, it seems that these demons were going after Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid." He said very seriously, "The Orchid is not only a great healing herb, it also has the effect of cleansing the soul and the meridians. I heard that eating it can improve the chances of the neonate formation pill by 30%."
"But this Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid has always been rare, and it takes a million years for one to grow." Lou Hong's expression was emotional, "Green Robes Sect actually had such a treasure."
Lonemoon frowned. The Demon Monarch was already at the tenth level, and neonate formation pills are of no use to him at all. What did want this thing for? And he wanted it so much as to destroy a whole sect... Unless... it was his in the first place.

Chapter 314: The Truth About Intrusion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He somehow felt that this might have something to do with that idiot... uh no, intruder.
But he didn't imagine that the Three Azure Realms had become so poor right now? Even the Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid could be a treasure worth fighting for. He remembered that in the radishes that Rabbit used to send Shen Ying every day, more than half were those orchids. One or two of those still grew in the back side of the mountain of Invincible Sect every now and then.
He thought about the matter of the intruder. After he understood the purpose of the demons, he wasn't too interested in what was happening next. He told Lou Hong goodbye and went back to Invincible Peak with Shen Ying and Yi Qing.
————
"How do you intend to deal with that crazy boy?" After returning to the peak, Lonemoon asked straight away. "You gonna open a plane gate and chase him back?"
"I can't chase him back." Shen Ying spread her hands.
"What do you mean?" I didn't know that there's someone you can't chase in this world. His expression was suspicious.

Shen Ying picked up a fruit, habitually, and was just going to eat it, before it was suddenly grabbed by Yi Qing, who put a piece of pastry into her hand at once. She was stunned for an instant before stuffing it directly into her mouth.
"He is mixed."
Lonemoon stopped short, suddenly remembering the fat shadow that shrouded the boy. "You mean, those karma on him?" Those karma belonged to this world. If they threw the person back to his original plane now, there would be an impact indeed.
"Nah!" Shen Ying inclined her head. "Karma is just some data. It can simply be added from the amount dropped!" That wouldn't make a difference.
"..." Lonemoon's mouth twitched. He felt that she insulted all the concepts of karma in novels.
"The point is the person that he mixed with."
"Person?" Lonemoon suddenly widened his eyes in shock. "You mean, the body that he is in now?"
Indeed in their eyes Jing Qi was a fat man who intruded into this world, yet to others, he was merely a ten-year-old kid. Apparently, the fat man was the real body of the intruder. This meant that it was the soul that transmigrated!
Ads by Revcontent
"Are you going to say that the poor soul that he possessed was still inside his body?"
"Yes." Shen Ying nodded.
"Holy shit!" Lonemoon cursed. In that case, they couldn't simply send him back indeed, because that way they would be sending two, and it would become their intrusion into another plane.
"But it doesn't make sense!" He suddenly remembered something, "By right, one body can only accommodate one soul. If his soul possessed the body, the original soul should be squeezed out."
"The system was incompatible. He was stuck." Shen Ying said.
"You mean that the original soul was trapped inside the body of the intruder like those karma?" Lonemoon suddenly thought about the karma inside that kid's body. "How could this be?" Could this intruder's spirit be stronger than all the others?
"Hmm..." Shen Ying bowed down her head and thought for a while, before replying, "maybe he was... wider."
Wider?
Lonemoon's mouth twitched as he thought about the thick layers of flesh on that shadow. "You mean because he was too fat originally, the original soul and those karma were trapped and unable to come out?"
Ads by Revcontent
"That's right!"
"What right!" Since when had being fat become a superpower? "Then what are we gonna do now? Are we going to leave him to stay here?" With all his karma, he might indeed become a master. "What happens to the original soul? He can't be left trapped, right?" This was his first plane mission, yet this start was so difficult.
"We wait for his consumption."
"Consumption! You mean, we let those karma be consumed first?" Lonemoon thought about it carefully. Indeed, the intruder could trap the original soul more or less due to those karma. As he had too much karma, he naturally suppressed others, and of course the original soul was unable to resist him.
The two had already mixed, so they couldn't casually separate them. As he belonged to a different plane, the soul system was different, and trouble could easily be caused from such a separation. But should those karma disappear, the original soul would naturally resist, and then the mixing of the two would become problematic, making it easier for intervention.
"But..." He realized one more problem. "Karma does not get consumed easily. He had amazing karma in the first place, and nobody else could consume his karma. Unless he had someone with a similar level of karma, or an opponent recognized by himself, rousing his heart for fighting, then it would work. We can't make another genius for him!"
"We have one already!" Shen Ying suddenly turned to look towards the direction of the kitchen.
"Chef!"
Lonemoon looked at the small figure who was cooking with a simple seriousness.
This was indeed... a wise choice!
Ads by Revcontent
"Chef, come, let's discuss revenge!"
——————
If you want to consume one's karma, you've got to beat him when he was most self-satisfied, making him unable to satiate his desires. As such, he would want more and keep consuming his own karma. This opponent must be someone who inspired his urge to fight, and Chef was doubtless the best choice. Firstly, they came from the same village, so they appeared to have the same starting point.
Secondly, Chef was born a member of the dragon clan. He was meant to become a god. Even if the other party had extraordinary amounts of karma, Chef lacked only Spirit Qi, and he could improve his cultivation even if he simply closed his eyes. In terms of speed, nobody could surpass him.
Thirdly, it was about the impact of the karma. Theoretically, when Jing Qi became lucky, someone else had to be unlucky due to the influence of the karma. Yet Chef was a plane assistant. Although due to the conditions of his body he couldn't accept the assistant seal, there was that marking inside his body. With that marking, all worldly rules couldn't limit him, including the rules of karma, which meant that they needn't worry about him being negatively affected by the intruder's karma.
Lastly, for some unknown reason, Jing Qi indeed seemed to have a hostility towards Chef. He felt it earlier when they were in the audience hall. Chef already possessed complete hatred from the other party without doing anything himself.
Lonemoon was just contemplating whether to let Chef do a secluded cultivation, or a Foundation Establishment first, when something happened at Honesty Sect again.
The Protective Mountain Array was activated instantly, and the whole sect trembled as if someone was attacking it.

In the next moment, waves of demonic roars came from the distance, and demonic aura suddenly increased outside the mountain gates. Waves of black aura came right at the sect.
"Supremacy!" A disciple arrived hurriedly, horror written all over his face. "Many demons suddenly arrived outside the mountain gate. They surrounded the gate. Sect master told me to bring Supremacy over."
They had come indeed...
Chapter 315: Demons' Attack of the Mountain
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"I see." Lonemoon nodded. They had come fast indeed. He turned to tell Shen Ying, "Don't go running around!" After that his body shape flashed and he disappeared right where he was.
At that moment, the area outside the mountain gate had been filled with all kinds of demons from many different clans. Moreover, most were big demons at the seventh and eighth levels. There were even a few at the ninth.
If not for the Protective Mountain Array, they may have already rushed onto the mountain.
Lou Hong tried hard to maintain the Protective Mountain Array, while he looked at the demons. Although he knew that demons were of a cruel and revengeful nature, he didn't expect them to chase a couple kids till here.
"Old man, if you know the situation, open up the array, and we might spare a few disciples of yours. Otherwise..." A jackal demon walked out and showed his bloody teeth to the crowd, "When we enter, we will eat all of you to the bones."
"How dare you demons!" Lou Hong snorted coldly, "You aren't supposed to eat people in the first place. You had even destroyed Green Robes Sect, and now you still dare to come to our Honesty Sect. Aren't you afraid of being filled by bad karma and ruining your thousands of years of cultivation?"
"Psst!" The jackal demon looked utterly disdainful. "Stop talking about these things to me. Only your human race believes in karma. We are demons to begin with, if we don't eat humans, are we supposed to eat porridge and rice?"
Ads by Revcontent
With that said, the demons started laughing, as they looked at the crowd like they were all dishes.
"Besides, you were the ones who robbed our spirit herbs first, and we only came for justice." The jackal demon continued. "Eating a couple humans was already us being merciful to you. If you still refuse to give up the Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid that you stole, we will eat all the mortals around this area too!"
"Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid?" Lou Hong was stunned, "We had never seen it. Don't you make wild blames."
"You human race is the best at lying. Dare to do, yet you dare not admit doing." The jackal demon snorted. "Do you dare say that you were not the ones who saved those little whelps? We turned Green Robes Sect all over but couldn't find that Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid, so you must have taken it."
"We did save those children, and that was because we couldn't bear to see them die under the fangs of demons." Lou Hong replied with a deep voice, "But we had never seen a Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid, believe it or not."
"And you still dare to continue denying, I will see how long you can manage that!" The jackal demon seemed too lazy to continue talking with him. He waved, and the demons beside him went forward and attacked the Protective Mountain Array.
In a second, they heard a few loud bangs, and the whole sect shook. Yet the array formation remained intact, and a few weaker demons actually flew out under the impact.
"Move away!" Suddenly, a wolf's roar came from the crowd of demons, making all the demons stunned, as they made a way. Soon a man came forward. As compared to the rest of the demons who more or less still remained in animal shape, he was in a complete human shape. He wore a long black robe, and an immense amount of demonic aura came from his body, far surpassing the level of the others.

Lou Hong's heart sank. This was... the tenth-level Demon Monarch!
"A group of useless things! Can't even break an array." The Demon Monarch glanced at the crowd of demons, and all the demons around him shivered. Only then did he fixed his blood-red eyes on the cultivators opposite him. A red light flashed in his hands. He smiled darkly, as he said, "Since you don't intend to return the treasure, after we finished eating everyone, we can look for it ourselves. It's the same."
With that said, his body shape flashed, as he leaped up dozens of feet, and his palm attacked the Protective Mountain Array. With a flash of lightning, the array which remained resistant to attack just now suddenly shook a few times, and with a clanging sound, it broke like glass, and disappeared into the air.
Lou Hong who was maintaining the array felt a rush of blood around his heart. He couldn't stand stably any more and directly stepped back a few steps.
The Demon Monarch actually widened his eyes towards Lou Hong and said, "I will start by eating you!" With that said, he made a loud roar and leaped up right towards Lou Hong.
As its sharp claws were almost going to pierce through the man, a rush of sword qi suddenly came down from the sky, and it hit the Demon Monarch in the air. A white body shape appeared at the same instant, and the flute in his hand knocked the Demon Monarch down immediately.
With a bang, the Demon Monarch was crushed onto the ground before he could make a sound. The demonic aura around him had mostly disappeared, and he returned to his original shape in an instant.
Lonemoon stepped on the gigantic wolf on the ground with one foot, and wrinkled in a disbelieving manner, before he asked, "This is the Demon Monarch?" This generation of little animals was quite weak. Much worse than Rabbit used to be.
Perhaps because the disdain on his face was too obvious, everyone at the scene, both humans and demons, fell silent with a confused look on their faces. They felt that before anything started, it had already ended.

"So- Soul Formation!" Some demon screamed.
Immediately, the whole group of demons turned back and started deserting, without any trace of intention to save their Demon Monarch. They had absolutely no love for their own kind!
"Don't you disbelieve in karma? I will show you what it means!" Lonemoon snorted. It was a rare occasion of showing off, and he should continue with it.
His hands moved, and a Dharma spell was immediately formed, and a rain of swords appeared in the sky, which fell directly onto the deserting demons below.
They had not even run for many steps before they were caught by the spirit swords and changed into a flash of blood. Instantly, the whole Honesty Sect echoed with the cry of all kinds of demons. Not the threatening cries they made just now, but the painful cries of dying.
In less than ten minutes, all were silent. Demons of the seventh and eighth levels died in huge numbers. There were a few small demons left who had not been blooded, but most of them were only at the fourth or fifth level.
The disciples of Honesty Sect who had readied themselves to fight to death were speechless.
What did they come here for?
(⊙_⊙)
Lonemoon made a passing-away seal, sending these demons who were all bloody and apparently had eaten many people to oblivion. Only then did he turn around.

"Where are you running to?"
The wolf Demon Monarch who had just crawled two steps of distance stiffened instantly, as the hair all over his body stood up. He leaned on the ground shivering, as he replied, "Supremacy, please spare my life! I didn't know that there was a Soul Formation Supremacy here!" Didn't they say that the highest cultivation level here was Nascent Soul? Rumors were not reliable after all!
"Oh, you meant that if there were none, you would dare to come and eat humans?" Lonemoon's eyes chilled.
The wolf monarch's eyes shrunk, as he shivered even more severely. "No... no, no. Supremacy, I had no other way. The Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid that I had spent thousands of years caring for was stolen by them. Only due to anger did I... I..."
"Who said they stole your Green Feathers Spiritual Orchid?" Who wants your carrot! A green carrot besides!
"It's, it's true!" The wolf monarch's ears drooped in grievance. "I knew that boy, he was the one who stole it." With that said, he took out a Shadow Preserving Stone out of nowhere, and a vague shape came out of it. That was a ten-year-old kid, thin and tall, with a green carrot overflowing with Spirit Qi in his arms.
