Demon Immortal

"Do you know what is happening in the forest region?" Mo Shen asked his fellow disciple curiously.

"I am not exactly sure," Han Longjing said scratching his head. "I heard that someone was slaughtering all the Level 2 beasts in that region. But I don't understand which of our sect members would be so idle to do something that boring."

Mo Shen could only nod upon hearing that statement.

This time, the Heavenly Demon Sect only sent out Golden Core disciples as their main force. Even the disciples who entered after them were all in the Violet Palace realm at the minimum.

Level 2 beasts were like a nuisance to them. So, he couldn't understand who was bored enough to go on a killing spree with Level 2 beasts as their target. Especially at this time.

It has been three months since the Grotto Heaven opened. Several of the nearby sects had gotten the news by now and had come over to search for their destiny. The news that flowed from outside indicated that several Righteous sects banded together and forced the Heavenly Demon Sect to allow their disciples inside.

Initially, the Heavenly Demon Sect had refused outright to allow entrance. But, the Righteous sects had invited the Three Holy Lands, causing pressure to mount. In the end, the Heavenly Demon Sect conceded.

But, not before sending a secret message to all its disciples.

The Heavenly Demon Sect had simply told its disciples to teach a good lesson for the righteous path disciples. They also allowed entry to its subordinate sects creating a true bedlam inside the Grotto Heaven.

The tension between the two factions was at an all-time high now. Most of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples were indignant that their sect capitulated to the Righteous sects' demand.

They didn't like the righteous cultivators. And having to agree to their demands didn't sit well with them. But, the free pass given by the sect assuaged their hurt. Right now, they wanted to teach the disciples of the righteous factions a memorable lesson.

When it comes to being unruly and acting like hooligans, the cultivators of the evil path were experts compared to the righteous path disciples. The Heavenly Demon Sect may have allowed the righteous path disciples to enter the Grotto Heaven due to the combined pressure of the three Holy Lands, but it didn't mean they have to be gracious about it.

By the time the righteous sects stepped foot in, most of the treasures from the outer region have been stripped bare by the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Only the central region and a few other isolated places had any more treasures left.

While the righteous cultivators were a bit peeved seeing this, they couldn't fault the Heavenly Demon Sect for their actions. So, most of the righteous sect disciples rushed toward the central region in a hurry. Still, what was happening in the forest region has caused a lot of talk recently.

"Instead of hunting demonic beasts, I would rather hunt down those pompous asses from the righteous sects," Mo Shen grumbled.

"Well, I don't care much about that anyway. If not for it spooking a lot of female cultivators from the righteous faction, no one would have cared about it," Han Longjing said curling his lips.

"So, any news from the central region?" Mo Shen asked.

"There are strict orders from the sect to not enter the main hall. Apart from it, we are allowed to explore other places. But, some of the geniuses of the subordinate sects don't seem to care about it. Right now, they are working together with righteous sect disciples to disable the restriction in the main hall," Han Longjing said a little cautiously.

"Damn those bastards!" Mo Shen cursed. "Aren't they afraid we will teach them a lesson?"

Han Longjing didn't reply immediately. He looked troubled for a few moments before replying.

"There have been some rumors," Han Longjing said shifting uncomfortably.

"What kind of rumors?"

"There has been some talk regarding how Heavenly Demon Sect is slipping up recently. The fiasco with the Seven-Colored Soul Lotus and now allowing entry to the righteous sects, some of the subordinate sects feel that we don't have what it takes anymore to lead the evil path," Han Longjing said a little quietly.

"What! They dare!"

"Lower your voice, Mo Shen. Why wouldn't they dare? We are not the righteous path. Might makes right amongst us. And we have behaved like weaklings in recent times. So, obviously, someone wants to test us."

"Damn! Looks like we have been quiet for too long!" Mo Shen muttered angrily.

"I talked with some of our seniors. They said that there is some talk regarding creating a big ruckus in the near future. But, for now, they have told me to keep my head down and behave normally," Han Longjing shrugged.

"Why can't we teach those bastards a lesson right now?"

"I don't know. But, the word is that the order came directly from the Sect Master. Even some of the elders are not happy. But, they are willing to swallow it due to some reason," Han Longjing said looking around furtively.

"It doesn't look like how those old demons behave," Mo Shen shook his head. "Do you think they are brewing something big?"

"Who knows? I am not eager to stick my head out and find out. Let's just keep our heads low in the Grotto Heaven and see how things change after exiting here," Han Longjing said pursing his lips.

"Whatever," Mo Shen said dissatisfiedly. "I think I need to vent some of my displeasure. Finding a few righteous path idiots and killing them can do that. I will take what I can get at this time."

"Don't do something rash, Mo Shen," Han Longjing warned. "Outsiders may not know the strength of those old monsters. You and I are clear about them. Let us wait and see what happens."

"Don't worry, I am not stupid."

Heavenly Demon Sect, Liang Tianye's Quarters

"Why are we allowing those fools from the righteous path to walk over us? I can't stand it," Feng Feixuan said a little dissatisfiedly.

Currently, she was lying naked in Liang Tianye's bed. Moonlight filtered through the window and made her body shine with ephemeral beauty. It made the sweat present on her contain mesmerizing charm.

Her sexy figure looked very inviting at this moment. Her tired and disshelved appearance, combined with the small glow that was present on her face, made her very alluring. Any man who could see her at the moment couldn't help but gulp in desire.

"You don't need to worry about these things," Liang Tianye said from beside her without bothering to look at her. "You just need to complete the task I gave you."

He too was currently naked. Only a small sheet covered his lower body. There were small beads of sweat on his forehead as well, indicating the arduous exchange they both have been involved in recently.

"Hmmph, Liang Tianye, you act as if I am your subordinate. I am an elder of this sect. It is natural that I am worried about the Sect Master's behavior in recent times. Not just me, several other elders are dissatisfied as well."

Liang Tianye's body stilled for a moment. A dangerous aura emanated from his body making Feng Feixuan to be startled.

Before she could react, Liang Tianye's hand shot out and grabbed her hair. Feng Feixuan didn't have the time to protest his actions. The next moment, Liang Tianye yanked her out of the bed and threw her to the floor.

Feng Feixuan's breath hitched. A small sliver of fear emerged in her chest as she airborne. The next moment, she landed on the floor. Anger and indignation rose up within her immediately.

When had she been manhandled like this? She was Feng Feixuan. Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect. An existence that sent shivers through countless cultivators. Even the other elders in the sect never dared to treat her in such a disrespectful manner.

But, before her anger could boil over, a heavy pressure slammed into her body making her unable to rise up. Alarm shot through her heart as she felt the pressure emanating from Liang Tianye who was currently getting up from the bed leisurely.

What was pinning her down was the cultivation pressure exerted by Liang Tianye. As an elder of the preeminent demonic sect on the Demon Scale Continent, Feng Feixuan was already at the late stages of the Nascent Soul realm. There were very few existences that could make her unable to move just from pressure alone on this continent.

And they were all doubtlessly above the Nascent Soul realm. From the information she knew about Liang Tianye, his cultivation should not be that much different from hers. At most, he should only be at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. But, this pressure was definitely above the Nascent Soul stage.

Lifting her eyes she looked at Liang Tianye who was currently sitting on the bed and looked down at her calmly. The sheer pressure emanated from him at the moment, made her heart palpitate. Feng Feixuan licked her lips unconsciously as the sight of Liang Tianye's casual appearance made her feel tingles in her stomach.
