Yuan Tanzhu is one of the altar masters of Xuanyuan sect. He had the most contact with Wen Renhe and would most likely figure out what he wanted. Seeing his Lord's gaze at the "useless group" , he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The person Lord mentioned is a woman? It is not very useful to ask the Right protector and Qiu altar master about women's affairs, you should naturally ask this subordinate."
Both Shu Yanyan and Qiu Congxue looked at the Altar Master Yuan Tanzhu. What did he mean by " it is not very useful " to ask them about women's matters? Aren't they women?
Yuan Altar Master ignored their needle-like glares and continued: "This subordinate dares to ask, what Venerable needs this woman to do?"
"Nothing much, just forget a man." Wen Renhe said.
Altar Master Yuan Tanzhu was very chubby, like a fat uncle next door. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed, making him look very friendly but his words were not gentle: "It seems to me that there are only two ways. First, kill the man and second, find another man to make this woman fall in love with."
Wen Renhe thought about it and the first option was currently not feasible. Baili Qingmiao deeply loved He Wenchao, and if He Wenchao died now, it would become a huge scar on Baili Qingmiao's heart. Trapped by this love, she would definitely not be able to survive Nascent Soul tribulation. The second solution was more interesting, but where to find this man?
In the book《Abusive Love Affair: You are the only one I will never change》 male lead no.1 He Wenchao, male lead no.2 Wen Renhe and male lead no.4 Yin Hanjiang have already been ruled out. Male lead no.5 was currently less than a year old and was temporarily useless, leaving only male lead no.3 Zhong Liqian.
However, Zhong Liqian's appearance was much later than male lead no.5. On the day He Wenchao got married to the master of the Ziling Pavilion, he came to congratulate them on the behalf of the Zhong family, the No.1 family in the cultivation world. He met Baili Qingmiao, who was trying to escape from the trap set by He Wenchao. The incident takes place 50 years from now.
Wen Renhe didn't have the patience to wait for fifty years so, after recovering from the wounds he would receive during the Massive demon war, he plans to go to the Zhong family, tie up Zhong Liqian and then leave him with Baili Qingmiao so they can nurture their feelings slowly.
"The second solution is not bad," Wen Renhe said and looked at the Yuan Altar Master appreciatively: "Let's put this matter aside for now. We will focus on the Massive Demon War and discuss merits and reward after the battle."
"Yes!" Five people said in unison.
In the following meeting, Shu Yanyan shared the arrangement of the righteous path, and several altar masters each expressed their own opinions, finally setting the plan of the battle, each person had assigned their battle tasks before they left.
After leaving the meeting hall, Altar Master Yuan Tanzhu leaned close to Shu Yanyan and inquired: " Right protector Shu, does Venerable have a woman he likes?"
"What?" Shu Yanyan glanced at the Yuan Altar Master: "Do you want to take advantage of the Lord's love to secretly harm him?"
Shu Yanyan spoke frankly, and the Yuan Altar Master also waved his hand deliberately as he said: "No, no, how could it be?"
During their conversation, the other three Altar Masters also came over. Even the cold Qiu Congxue's remaining head showed an expression of "I'll be energized if you say that the assassination of Devil venerable is involved", four pair of eyes stared at Shu Yanyan.
Shu Yanyan sighed: "You all have been thinking too much. Based on my many years of experience, the Lord shouldn't be interested in that woman but just want to accept her as a disciple. He wants a person from a righteous path to cultivate a merciless path. I don't know what he is thinking."
The four altar masters immediately lost interest. Demonic cultivation wasn't as focused on sect heritage as the righteous path. Their cultivation path was their own and when they were in a good mood they would also teach them to their subordinates, would that be considered taking in a disciple?
"Why does the lord want to accept a disciple? Do you want to wait until she cultivates the merciless path and kill her own master?" Altar Master Yuan Tanzhu was puzzled.
"How would I know? That woman's qualifications are really good, she built her foundation at the age of eighteen and reached the Golden Core stage in the same year. It's just that her brain is full of a man." Shu Yanyan shrugged her shoulders and quickly left the main altar, her pile of fresh dishes were still waiting for her to taste!
The rest of the altar masters nodded their heads after hearing about Baili Qingmiao's cultivation speed, such a qualification was indeed worthy of attention. It was not impossible to accept her as a disciple at sight.
After his subordinates left, Wen Renhe and Yin Hanjiang were left in the General assembly hall and said "There should still be a two to three months time left till the Massive Demon War. During this period, you should strive to break through the Void realm and become the main part of the battle force."
"Yes." Yin Hanjiang said.
"This Venerable will take you to a place." Wen Renhe got up and led Yin Hanjiang to the mountain on the back of the Xuanyuan Sect.
The valley at the back of the mountain was pitch black making it impossible to see what was below. Ordinary people should be able to see to the bottom under the sunlight, not to mention the fact that a cultivator's divine sense was so powerful that even if their eyes couldn't see, they could still use their divine sense to investigate.
Wen Renhe leapt into the valley and Yin Hanjiang followed, not stopping at all due to the strangeness of the valley.
Then he realized that he had flown dozens of meters before he stepped on something solid and flat, but it didn't feel like landing on the ground at all.
"This place is?" Yin Hanjiang asked hesitantly.
"What is beneath your feet is the Burning Sky Drum." Wen Renhe said "The most precious treasure of Xuanyuan sect. If it wasn't for that old Patriarch's sacrifice to use Burning Sky Drum to deal with me back then, I wouldn't have known that this magical weapon was hidden here."
This was a magic weapon that only the Sect Master of the Xuan Yuan Sect had the authority to use, and Yin Hanjiang did not expect the Lord would trust him to the point that he would bring him to the Burning Sky Drum's location.
"Although the Burning Sky Drum is a magic weapon, it has absorbed the blood of many immortals, and whether it is a righteous path or demonic path weapon depends on how cultivators use the drum. You will be cultivating on the Burning Sky Drum for the next few months, using the demonic Qi contained in the demon sword to stimulate the immortal Qi in the Burning Sky Drum. Using the immortal Qi of Burning Sky Drum you can quench the demonic Qi of the Demon sword." Wen Renhe said
Yin Hanjiang used the Demon Sword to forcefully increase his strength, which was why his cultivation strength was already inseparable from the Demon Sword. Even if the new magic treasure was made, it would be difficult for Yin Hanjiang to successfully refine his own magic treasure, because it would be unable to overcome the residual power of the Demon Sword.
Only through this cultivation method, could he completely get rid of the Demon Sword's influence.
"Venerable...." "Yin Hanjiang stood on top of the Burning Sky Drum and looked at the Wen Renhe.
The Xuanyuan Sect had obtained the Burning Sky Drum many years ago, but no one had the opportunity to see it except for the Sect Master. It was already surprising that Wen Renhe promised to let Shu Yangyan cultivate on the drum, but Yin Hanjiang didn't expect that he would come here even before Right Protector Shu.
He didn't say any more about what virtues he as a subordinate had and that he didn't dare to accept. Devil Venerable already said it was up to him to decide whether or not he had virtue and ability.
Yin Hanjiang's expression was firm, cupping his hands and kneeling on one knee, he solemnly said: "I will do my best to break through the Realm of Void and clear all obstacles for the Lord in the Massive Demon War."
"I didn't ask you to fight to death." Wen Renhe raised his right hand slightly, and helped Yin Hanjiang up with all his strength: "Cultivate hard, this Venerable will wait for you to help me heal after the battle."
Wen Renhe didn't want Baili Qingmiao to save him this time, it was enough to owe karma for starting cultivation. He didn't want to add favor of saving his life. In the book, double karma was added to Wen Renhe's body, which was why he was willing to give up everything for Baili Qingmiao.
Speaking of which ....
Wen Renhe took out the book and tapped his fingertips on the cover, suddenly thinking that the plot of the book foreshadowed one more thing, this was – his love calamity was coming.
If it wasn't for the perfect timing, location and harmony, how would Wen Renhe fall in love with Baili Qingmiao? At least in his previous meeting he never had the slightest bit of love for Baili Qingmiao.
He didn't know if this love calamity would come again and who would be on the receiving end ?
Wen Renhe tried to deduce it but found that the will of heaven was unpredictable and he didn't know what would happen in the future.
Withdrawing the《Abusive love Affair》, Wen Renhe said to Yin Hanjiang: "You should cultivate, this Venerable will protect you."
When Yin Hanjiang heard that his lord would protect him during cultivation, he found this opportunity even more precious. He stared at the magic sword in his hand. If only he hadn't been too weak to suppress the Demon Sword. How could he bother Devil Venerable so much?!
Wen Renhe left the valley and sat cross-legged on the mountain. He also closed his eyes to cultivate, feeling the breathing of Yin Hanjiang from below.
It wasn't long before the sounds of war drums, swords as well as great changes in the heavens and earth were faintly heard. The memories of the righteous and demonic war in the Burning Sky Drum were inspired by the demon sword, and soon an illusion had become established.
The sword Qi of Yin Hanjiang seemed weak to the illusion. Seemingly hindered by something, Wen Renhe opened his eyes and offered his Seven Star Killing Halberd's merciless path Qi. It was like a guiding light, guiding the way for Yin Hanjiang.
In front of him were mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, as well as his own small self as he searched among the corpses for his Lord, feeling more and more anxious. In the moment of desperation, the Seven Stars shone in the sky and a familiar Qi awakened his senses.
Yes, Venerable was protecting him while he was cultivating.
Yin Hanjiang changed his grip on the sword and the magic sword flashed in response to his Qi. He held the sword that was trying to use the illusion to lure him into the nightmare. His body was overflowing with blood, as he used his sword Qi to blow away the surrounding illusion!
Wen Renhe, feeling the familiar sword Qi, showed an imperceptible smile, with his halberd braced against the ground, he stood on top of the mountain
, quietly guarding Yin Hanjiang.
Soon, three months went by.
Shu Yanyan's subordinates informed her that the righteous path started to make their move and cultivators above the Golden Core realm gathered and started marching in the direction of Xuanyuan sect.
"Meet the enemy first, this Venerable will need some more time." Wen Renhe ignored Shu Yanyan's anxiety, and the halberd remained motionless.
The Massive Demon War was going to last for ten years, so few days didn't matter.
Shu Yanyan was almost anxious to death when she received the order from Venerable. As Devil Venerable of the demonic sect shouldn't he be eager to kill all those righteous cultivators at this time? What was he waiting for? Wait! Before the righteous senior cultivators make a move, shouldn't they kill all disciples under Soul Transformation Realm like chopping vegetables to show the power of the demonic sect?!
After sulking for a while, she made the command of Wen Renge into a token. After transferring it to the other four altar masters she picked up the veil and covered her face.
A subordinate stepped forward and hugged Shu Yanyan waist, biting her ears and asked ambiguously "Protector, why are you wearing a veil? It is such a pity to cover such a beautiful face."
Shu Yanyan chuckled: "This time I joined hands with altar master Qiu to cut off the Desperate Spirit Formation (need to check previously used formation name), which contains people. I don't want them to see me for the time being."
"Eh?" The subordinate wondered: "Is there anyone, that Protector is afraid to see?"
Shu Yanyan pinched his chin, with a restrained smile but her gaze was sharp: "It's not that I'm afraid, but some desserts are more interesting if you leave them to tease till the end."
Shu Yanyan and Qiu Congxue rendezvoused at the place of Xuanyuan Sect's spiritual vein. Soon a bunch of righteous disciples arrived, led by an Elder. Shu Yanyan looked at them, alert and slightly panicked: "This is Xuanyuan sect gate. No outsiders are allowed!"
The soul combination realm elder said: "This is the witch, who cultivates the art of enchantment, everyone silently recite the Clear Heart Mantra and focus on setting up the formation, don't be bewitched by her!"
The disciples listened to the order and ran to their respective positions according to the plan, 108 disciples holding 108 Demon Descending Flags, using their true power to insert the Demon Descending Flags into the Earth Vein Intercept Point, circulating their true Qi and setting up the Desperate Spirit Formation.
He Wenchao silently recited the Clear Heart Mantra but his heart was still agitated.
It had been three months since junior sister Baili had been at odds with him, and no matter how he tried to explain his relationship with Shu Yanyan and coaxed her, Baili Qingmiao only shook her head in frustration, saying that she wanted to be alone.
After all his coaxing, she would even ask He Wenchao with a sad face: "Aren't you sad that Miss Shu is dead?"
Of course he was sad, it was a rare Yin body. Thanks to her, He Wenchao's cultivation progressed extremely fast. How could he not be sad? But at this time, no matter what he would answer it would be answer of death. If he answered that he was 'sad,' younger martial sister would believe they really had a relationship. If he answer he wasn't sad, younger martial sister would say that the woman he knew died in front of him and if he wasn't sad, he was really too cold-hearted.
He Wenchao understood Baili Qingmiao, she was very lovely, but sometimes she was too savagely. So his answer was: "We knew Miss Shu for a while, she died in front of you and me. It's impossible not to be sad, after all I'm not a heartless person. But Sister, we need to look forward, that's how the path of cultivation is. We may face more life and death in the future, we have to learn to understand."
He cleverly transformed Baili Qingmiao's suspicion of himself and Shu Yanyan into the fragility in the face of life and death. His sister always listened to him, and sure enough, she thought about life and death and gradually let it go.
It was really a pity that he hasn't been forgiven yet. He hoped that after the Massive Demonic War and life and death separation, Sister would cherish this relationship even more.
He Wenchao wasn't worried about Baili Qingmiao's safety, she was at the back with Yao Wendan, ready to rescue the injured disciplines, which was the safest place. He Wenchao would also be there after the Desperate Spirit Formation was set up, the Demonic Qi would soon collapse without the support of Heaven and Earth Qi. 108 Demon Descending Banners would open borders to protect the disciples who set up the formation. This was an immortal treasure formation, so even if Devil Venerable himself came, he might not be able to break it.
Under the protection of the soul combination realm elder, two demonic cultivators could not stop them at all. Soon the formation would be formed, and the Qi of the entire Xuanyuan Sect mountain range would be completely drained.
He Wenchao looked at the two witches who were fighting with the elder and thought that the woman wearing a veil was somewhat familiar. He Wenchao might have met her in the past when he went down the mountain to get rid of the demons.
He found himself distracted, busy reciting the Clear Heart Mantra and concentrating on supporting the formation.
When the elder saw that the array had been completed, he quickly retreated. Planning to retreat into the protection of the array. But unexpectedly, the black robed woman who was beaten down by him suddenly smiled strangely. The black robe was blown away by the wind, revealing countless hungry ghosts and eerie white bones beneath her robe.
This woman actually only had one head, with not even a bit of flesh and blood under her!
Qiu Congxue stretched out her right hand and white bones clasped the shoulder of the elder, then countless hungry ghosts rushed to the elder along her fingertips. The miserable cry of ghosts made the elders numb. He wanted to cast a technique to disperse these fierce ghosts. However, a vicious spirit surged into his dantian, making him unable to mobilize half of his genniue Qi!
"Mahaya... you, you are Qiu Congxue, the Mahayana realm ghost cultivator!" The elder of the soul transformation realm shouted. He wanted to tell the disciples to retreat as soon as possible, but one of the hungry ghosts already bit off his tongue, making him speechless.
Mahayana realm expert was here. How could they defeat her? How could they be allowed to successfully set up an array? The demonic path was prepared for this!
Oh no. ..
This was the last thought of the soul transformation realm Elder, who was surrounded by countless hungry ghosts, his consciousness fading as he was dragged into the dao of hungry ghosts.
This elder was from the Biluo Sect. Seeing the tragic death of the elder, Biluo Sect's disciple's eyes turned red as he shouted: "Martial uncle!
"Hush ......" a white bone finger was held against this crying disciple's mouth across the array. The pale woman showed her white teeth and laughed lightly: "Set up the array carefully, don't let your martial uncle die in vain. Don't even think of withdrawing the array and ruining away, you might still be protected by the array. But if even one flag is pulled out, everyone will die and I won't let you escape."
She didn't know how many hungry ghosts were under her black robe. Within a short time, she covered all ten-mile radius. There was blood mist outside the Desperate Spirit Formation, and the disciples couldn't see outside at all, so they could only struggle to support the array.
Obviously they were the ones who had cut off the spirit veins, so why did they have the feeling that they were the ones being trapped?
The 108 disciples heard Qiu Congxue's voice in the blood mist, "If the righteous path wants to provoke a war against the demonic path, my Xuanyuan Sect will welcome it with open doors. But it's best to have a fair fight. I don't like such trickery as cutting off spirit veins."
He Wenchao immediately said: " Everyone, don't panic! There's no way for her to break through the Desperate Spirit Formation, as long as we persist, division elders will come to our rescue after our win. This time, even scattered immortals are out, they are mare Mahayana realm cultivators! Her words are meant to shake our minds and make us unable to maintain the array, so that she can break through without attack. Don't fall into her trap!"
His words appeased all the disciples and they immediately sealed their five senses and focused on maintaining the array. The boundary became stronger, and the fierce spirits couldn't get close.
Shu Yanyan asked her subordinate to move her reclining chair and lazily laid on it. Watching Qiu Congxue frighten the disciples, she couldn't help yawning and saying: "We're really bad guys."
"What?" Qiu Congxue's icy cold gaze swept over Shu Yanyan's delicate body.
"It's nothing," Shu Yanyan rested her chin, "This is the true nature of the demonic patch. I like to be the bad guy."
"Be patient, don't spoil the Lord's plan. He wants to draw the righteous experts out for a battle." Qiu Congxue warned.
"Che, he doesn't know what he's doing." Shu Yanyan rolled her eyes in an unsightly manner.
Unknown to all, Devil Venerable stayed in the valley. The Desperate Spirit Formation didn't affect the aura around the Burning Sky Drum at all. He patiently waited for another forty-nine days and then he saw a powerful sword piercing the black fog in the valley. Yin Hanjiang's demonic sword flew to the front of him.
The restless spirit of the demonic sword was so weak that Yin Hanjiang firmly held it in his hand making it unable to set off any more waves.
"Second level of Void realm." Wen Renhe patted Yan Hanjiang shoulder in satisfaction, and with a swing of his long sleeves, he turned around: "Follow me to meet the enemy!"
