In a private room of a restaurant, there were currently three people sitting there, namely: Zhang Huizhu, Zhang Youde, and Tang Xiaoyu.
Zhang Huizhu spoke up: "Xiaoyu, what should we do next?"
Tang Xiaoyu smiled slightly: "We just need to wait. After all, people find it easier to resent their later enemies rather than us, their earlier enemies."
"Later enemies? You mean the Sky Demon Sect?"
Tang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes. What do you think I left so many enemies for? Of course it's because someone will help us eliminate them."
"We've nearly wiped out these sects. They hate us so much they want to tear us from limb to limb. How could I leave myself with such a peril?"
Zhang Youde spoke up: "What if the Sky Demon Sect doesn't act as we anticipated? What should we do then?"
Tang Xiaoyu confidently said: "With Lin Qingying's personality, she won't miss this opportunity. Even if she doesn't act as we anticipated, we'll just do it in her place."
"Anyway, the blame must be pinned on the Sky Demon Sect."
Zhang Huizhu spoke up: "Disguise ourselves as the Sky Demon Sect to deal with the remaining sects?"
"No need. Dead men tell no tales. What we say will become the truth."
Tang Xiaoyu stood up and walked to the window: "I really want to go in search of poetry and distant places now."
Zhang Youde asked: "Finally, what about the Sky Demon Sect?"
Tang Xiaoyu turned around: "Let it exist for a period first. After we completely control Dongzhou, we'll make it disappear."
"Life is so dull. Only in death there is release. Sometimes I also feel confused about the meaning of all this. Is it to satisfy desires?"
Zhang Huizhu spoke up: "Perhaps it is the attachments in our hearts that keep urging us on."
"Perhaps so!"
As time passed, the Sky Demon Sect acted as Tang Xiaoyu had anticipated, and began to make moves on the struggling sects.
After all, Tang Xiaoyu and the others didn't take anything from these sects.
Not to mention cultivation resources, the sect-protecting treasures alone made the Sky Demon Sect salivate with greed, let alone the many skills and spiritual veins.
Given Lin Qingying's personality, it was impossible for her to miss this opportunity.
When temptation is big enough, people will dare to venture into traps and tiger's dens, let alone this.
At the Qingyun Sword Sect, Li Qingfeng looked angrily at the smiling Lin Qingying and asked: "Why do this? Don't you know it's their trap?"
"So what if it's a trap? When the Sky Demon Sect becomes strong enough, what can they do to me?"
"Do you think I raised ordinary disciples for no reason?"
"Once I obtain all your treasures, not just demonic cultivators, the whole Dongzhou will be mine."
Li Qingfeng roared angrily: "You won't come to a good end."
Lin Qingying ended Li Qingfeng's life with a sword, and ordered: "Spread the news that the Qingyun Sword Sect was slaughtered by demonic cultivators."
What she didn't know was that not far away, Zhang Youde was covering a woman's mouth and watching everything here.
It was impossible for Lin Qingying to detect Zhang Youde given the difference in their cultivations. Moreover, she wouldn't have thought a Holy Master would do such a thing.
After Lin Qingying left with her people, Zhang Youde still didn't let the woman go until the Sky Demon Sect people returned and left again. Only then did he release the woman.
The woman was Yu Die. She ran over and hugged Li Qingfeng, crying out: "Master, wake up! It's me, Yu Die. Open your eyes and look at me, look at me."
In the Qingyun Sword Sect, other than Ye Xuan who escaped, only Yu Die remained. The rest did not escape their fate of being killed.
Most importantly, this included Ye Xuan's several love interests.
Lin Qingying worked very quickly. In less than three days, she had slaughtered all the top sects in Dongzhou.
Tang Xiaoyu and the others also played a big role, constantly helping Lin Qingying block information to prevent people from escaping. Of course, one disciple was saved from each sect to identify the killer.
Soon, the surviving disciples from the major sects started pointing their fingers at the Sky Demon Sect for its evil deeds. Then, in less than a few days, they mysteriously died.
Other than Yu Die, all the people who were saved died.
Now, everyone knew it was the Sky Demon Sect's doing.
The Sky Demon Sect was denounced by all sides, its reputation even worse than that of demonic cultivators.
Seeing things were almost done, Tang Xiaoyu brought Yang Xue, Shanshan and Wenwen back to the Kindness Sect, and visited the Sanqing Sect along the way. Seeing that the maids had left, Tang Xiaoyu felt much more at ease.
Back at the Kindness Sect, they happened to meet the maids Little Ling'er and the others who had rushed over.
After arranging them properly, Tang Xiaoyu wanted to go to distant places to relax and unwind, but Zhang Huizhu and the others hadn't returned, so Tang Xiaoyu couldn't leave yet.
Only two months later did Zhang Huizhu finally rush back.
"Xiaoyu, nothing happened with the sect right?"
"Nothing much happened. But I do have something."
"What is it? Just tell me directly."
"I want to go out and relax my mind. Do you have any treasures that can hide my cultivation?"
Zhang Huizhu was puzzled: "What do you need that for? If you don't deliberately reveal your strength and hide your cultivation, even I can't see through it."
"Oh, I have that ability? I didn't know."
"Tell me what you want to do."
"I want to go somewhere else to relax my mind," said Tang Xiaoyu.
Zhang Huizhu's eyes lit up: "After relaxing your mind, don't come back first. It's best you infiltrate the sects in Zhongzhou as an insider and provide intelligence for our future expansion into Zhongzhou."
Tang Xiaoyu felt hopeless: "When will this end!"
"Alright alright, just go live freely over there. Casually gather some intelligence, it's no different from relaxing your mind," Zhang Huizhu comforted.
"But I don't have any spirit roots. How do you expect me to enter a sect?"
"No problem, I'll get you a fake one that's enough to pass the sect's selection."
Tang Xiaoyu had no choice but to go along with it. After getting Zhang Huizhu to properly take care of the maids, Tang Xiaoyu brought enough spirit stones and silver before stepping onto the teleportation array to Zhongzhou.
Just after arriving in Zhongzhou without having understood the local customs yet, Tang Xiaoyu was attracted by the bustling crowd. Fortunately he could understand their speech, otherwise he'd have to guess again.
"Did you hear? Fengxi Sect's disciple recruitment is in three days."
"No need to tell me, I've got to inform my relatives and friends to bring their kids to try it out."
Tang Xiaoyu had to admire this coincidence. Why didn't you recruit a few months later instead of starting it now when he had no time to tour around?
Since such a chance was hard to come by, Tang Xiaoyu didn't plan on letting it pass.
"Excuse me, do you know where Fengxi Sect is located?" A pleasant female voice came from beside Tang Xiaoyu.
Tang Xiaoyu turned his head. He saw an ordinary-looking but delicate and slightly skinny, yet very tall girl looking at him.
The girl had a shabby bundle on her back, and wore simple clothes with several patches.
Tang Xiaoyu pointed at himself: "Miss, are you talking to me?"
The girl nodded: "Do you know where Fengxi Sect is? I want to sign up for their selection."
Looking at this girl who was over twenty, Tang Xiaoyu uncertainly asked: "You're not joking right? You're obviously a bit old for it."
The girl firmly nodded: "I still want to try."
Tang Xiaoyu felt he was biased now. His perspective and views seemed to have changed due to his status and state of mind.
Such thinking wouldn't do. Tang Xiaoyu shook his head: "I also don't know, but I want to sign up too."
The girl looked at Tang Xiaoyu again: "You're older than me, are you sure you're not joking?"
Tang Xiaoyu was embarrassed: "I also want to try."
"Oh, then we can go together."
Tang Xiaoyu smiled: "No problem, let's go together."
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
