Mission: Seduce the Master! - Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Sect of Bone Circle [III]
Sitting on the soft and springy bed, Xie Qing immersed himself in his thoughts, contemplating his plan. His primary intention was to create chaos among the devilish cultivators to separate them and cause a rift between the two factions. It sounded easy, but it was extremely difficult to implement. Firstly, these individuals were already quite chaotic, but at least in times of danger, they were willing to unite.

Xie Qing wanted to bring their relationship to the point where none of them would even want to look at each other. To achieve this, he needed to take much more significant steps.

“Ma Lu and Hao Shen… only a small circle of people know about them, and most disciples have never seen their faces, let alone know their names. To them, these two are like something mythical and unattainable, like the Heavens,” Xie Qing pondered, then frowned. “So, spreading rumors about these guys would be useless. Everyone would still be indifferent, even if I told them about their wounds. On the contrary, it would only unite them more when the public finds out that we managed to access the barrier.”

Xie Qing’s head began to ache. All these plans, thoughts, and schemes required deep contemplation.

“I shouldn’t act rashly. It would be best if I first think carefully about how to become a disciple of the inner court. There will be more resources and a wealth of information there. If I become a disciple of the main court…” the young man’s eyes gleamed, “then there will be a chance to meet the sect master… or gain access to the altar!”

He had indeed discovered something that piqued his curiosity. Some time ago, Zhang Xin had spoken about the altar in the main court. Surprisingly, even an outer court disciple like him had information about it. And it didn’t seem to be a particularly well-kept secret. On the contrary, it was openly discussed.

“And… this altar must definitely be destroyed!” Xie Qing thought, narrowing his eyes and looking somewhat worried. “The altar helps one obtain the bloodline of a demon, turning people into hybrids! This makes them stronger, but they lose their minds! This must be nipped in the bud!”

A mad altar that helps a person become ten times stronger… of course, many think this is a good bonus! They aren’t even afraid of losing their minds—that was what was frightening!

Xie Qing frowned and shook his head, looking helpless.

“It’s too early to think about that now. I need to first get into the inner court, and then—we’ll see.”

Xie Qing’s days in the sect flowed quite peacefully, and even after a week, no one came to bother him. Of course, this wasn’t due to his fame or anything like that, but rather because of the protection of the elders.

The disciples found out about this after someone tried to break into Xie Qing’s courtyard and kill him, but was caught and then executed by order of the elders. This alone made it clear that the newcomer was not an ordinary person, and messing with him meant breaking one’s own neck!

Xie Qing spent his days in meditation and occasionally went out to take a walk and refresh himself. Because of this peaceful lifestyle, many began to look down on him. They thought that aside from the influence behind him, the young man was not capable of much else.

Of course, this didn’t mean that anyone was willing to confront him. After all, the words of the elders and their protection were not something to be taken lightly or disregarded.

It was only in the second week that Xie Qing ended his seclusion and left his residence, looking completely refreshed, as if he had taken a cold shower on a hot summer day. Ignoring the stares, the young man looked at the gloomy clouds and raised an eyebrow.

“I don’t get it? Why is the sky… hmm… so strange? I sense devilish qi from these clouds. Could it be…”

The young man didn’t even finish his thought when suddenly there was a rumble. Somewhere in the distance, ten miles away from his location, a whirlwind of devilish qi appeared and quickly dissipated. However, in that brief moment, Xie Qing saw something. This…

“Ma Lu! This is undoubtedly that bastard’s aura! So, he is in the sect and… judging by the looks of it, his wounds have started to heal a bit…” Xie Qing frowned.

He was a bit displeased. This guy was recovering too quickly. Nevertheless, as if remembering something, the young man smiled and shook his head.

***

Main court, eastern part, enclosed by high walls. This was the personal space of the sect master, who preferred to be close to his sect, fearing that Hao Shen might be plotting something. Therefore, there was no doubt that he would prefer to lick his wounds here.

His severed limbs had not yet recovered, but there were some changes in his fallen cultivation level—he was slowly recovering.

“Hmm… that bitch… her strength is still abnormal. Even after becoming a demon hybrid, I can’t kill her?”

There was a hint of helplessness in the man’s voice. Actually, it was still a mystery how he could speak without a mouth. But let’s not think about that too much.

Ma Lu flew towards his bed and “sat” down. He let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that the elders of my sect brought me a good batch of plants. At least I can speed up my recovery. Maybe I can even surpass Hao Shen…”

Ma Lu’s voice was somewhat gloomy, but there was also a hint of impatience and excitement.

Hao Shen and he had always been rivals. In the past, their sects had even been enemies. However, due to external threats, they had to form an alliance.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was only because of this that they managed to survive, while other devilish sects were completely wiped out. However, this didn’t mean that they trusted each other enough to let go of their own desires.

Ma Lu was significantly weaker than his counterpart, so he was always in a subordinate role or something similar. Therefore, when the opportunity arises…

“I will definitely get rid of you!”

***

Xie Qing was unaware of Ma Lu’s thoughts and didn’t care. He was walking around the outer court when suddenly…

“Hey, guy!”

Someone called out to him, and Xie Qing looked over his shoulder. It turned out to be a guy and a girl. They looked calm, didn’t exude a bloodthirsty aura, and surprisingly appeared friendly.

Someone suddenly called out to him, and Xie Qing looked over his shoulder. It turned out to be a guy and a girl. They looked calm, didn’t exude a bloodthirsty aura, and surprisingly appeared friendly.

“…” Xie Qing remained silent, then tilted his head to the side, looking indifferent. “What?”

“Haha, sorry for the rudeness. I’m Liang Junjie. I was walking around and saw that everyone is avoiding you. I thought, maybe I’ll talk to you, maybe you’re a fun guy!” Liang Junjie said with a bright smile, looking friendly. He laughed loudly. “Although, judging by your look, I’m bothering you, right? Sorry, hahaha!”

“And I’m Yang Jia. Brother, don’t you want to become my partner in dual cultivation? Sister will make you feel good!”

“…”

Xie Qing looked as if he was about to punch these two.

“And I’m Yang Jia. Brother, don’t you want to become my partner in dual cultivation? Sister will make you feel good!”

“…”

Xie Qing looked as if he was about to punch these two.

After briefly looking at the two, the young man turned away without a word and started to walk off. Yang Jia and Liang Junjie looked stunned.

Then, as if coming to his senses, Liang Junjie shouted, “Brother, p-please wait! I heard from an acquaintance that you have the Red Salvation, so I decided to visit you! Sister Yang is also here for that! We were just joking!”

Xie Qing frowned. “Red Salvation” was just an alternative name for the Devil’s Blood Flower. There were only six people who knew he had this flower. Zhang Xin could be ruled out because he hadn’t left his house for a long time.

That left only…

“The elders of the outer court. Fuck them. I didn’t expect them to leak the information, considering it would be more beneficial to keep this secret. This could only mean that the status of these two annoying weaklings isn’t simple…” the young man scoffed and turned back to the two, saying in an indifferent voice, “This isn’t a suitable place for a conversation. Let’s move somewhere else.”
