Has the Chixin Sect Violated the Heavenly Laws

[Year 15, Age 32.]

[You replaced "Silent Step" with "Demonic Aura Detected".]

[In the blink of an eye, you have stayed in the Scarlet Heart Sect for fifteen years.]

[You have managed to become a patrol captain, and the treatment you receive from the Scarlet Heart Sect has also improved significantly.]

[What about the previous Captain Xiao Lin?]

[He was optimized.]

[Ordinary sect members who get older and fail to break through to higher realms will be dismissed by the sect.]

[It is just patrolling, after all. If you do not want to do it, plenty of others will.]

[Many rogue martial artists would gladly join the sect even if it meant cleaning the latrines.]

[This is because martial arts sects often occupy places rich in the essence of heaven and earth. This provides a natural boost to a martial artist's cultivation, creating conditions that are hard to find in the outside world.]

[Not to mention, it is always good to enjoy the shade under a big tree; having a faction backing you is better than having nothing at all.]

[On this day, you clocked in for work as usual.]

[In the forest on the outskirts of the sect, you suddenly saw a massive amount of demonic aura, so dense that it formed a thick mist!]

["Careful, demons are approaching! Go notify the mountain-protecting elders immediately!"]

[Your team members immediately went on high alert, but after looking around, they found nothing.]

["Captain, where are the demons?"]

["What demon would dare cause trouble at our Scarlet Heart Sect?"]

["Exactly."]

[Some of the team members were insubordinate to your command. When Xiao Lin was dismissed, the competition for his position had been fierce.]

[You only managed to secure it by relying on your relationship with Elder Yin to gain an advantage.]

[Naturally, the others were jealous and harbored a lot of dissatisfaction, taking every opportunity to talk back to you.]

[You do not have a good temper yourself, either.]

["Hurry up and notify the sect! Stop your damn nonsense! If the demon race really attacks, I can hold them off, but you lot cannot!"]

[Hearing your words, they became even more indignant.]

[However, this time, before they could argue with you, low growls echoed from all around.]

[Now, even without the "Demonic Aura Detected" trait, they could smell the foul stench radiating from the demons.]

[More than a dozen boar demons suddenly charged out.]

[Their long, sharp tusks easily pierced through several patrol members who could not dodge in time.]

[With violent tosses of their heads, the boar demons pinned these men with their tusks and slammed them brutally into the trees.]

[This truly became a case of "the pig crashes into you, and you crash into the tree."]

["Demons! There really are demons! So many of them!"]

[These boar demons were merely the vanguard. Looking further out into the forest, massive hordes of demons were swarming in, kicking up billowing clouds of dust!]

[This was not just a demon attack.]

[This was a demon tide!]

[A so-called demon tide occurs when the demon race, led by one or more powerful demon commanders, launches a devastating assault on a specific location.]

[Demons are not mindless beasts; they are an intelligent race, though their living habits resemble those of wild animals.]

[Therefore, as long as they are led by a powerful demon, they can act collectively just like humans.]

[You had no idea what the Scarlet Heart Sect had done to warrant a demon tide attack.]

[Clang!]

[A wild boar demon crashed into you, unexpectedly producing the sound of clashing metal.]

["Huh?"]

[Refusing to believe it, the boar demon rammed you again.]

[You stood as immovable as a mountain!]

[Its tusks shattered into pieces!]

["What?!"]

[The boar demon spoke in the human tongue.]

[While the boar demon was doubting its very existence, you threw a fierce punch at its massive head, caving in half of its pig face on the spot!]

[The force of your punch penetrated straight through its pig brain and even blew away a layer of fallen leaves on the ground. The sheer power was astonishing!]

[The few surviving members of the patrol team were dumbfounded by the sight!]

[They no longer questioned your right to be the captain.]

[You were way too fierce!]

[Are you really in the Spirit Gathering Realm?]

[Of course you were in the Spirit Gathering Realm, but against the demon race, your golden trait "The Strictest Father of Alien Races" had activated!]

[As long as your fighting spirit is high, your blood qi can increase by up to a hundred times when facing alien races!]

[The level of blood qi represents the physical strength of the body.]

[A hundredfold increase in blood qi is equivalent to a hundredfold increase in all aspects of physical attributes.]

[When concentrated into a single burst of force, the effect is far greater than just a hundred times!]

[And having a high fighting spirit? That was easy!]

[Just directly ignite your chuunibyou soul!]

[Furthermore, with this trait, any attack you receive from an alien race is unconditionally weakened by a hundred times.]

[That was why the wild boar could not budge you no matter how hard it rammed.]

[Seeing the ferocious momentum of the demon race, which had already completely surrounded the Scarlet Heart Sect, you had no choice but to force your way through the horde of obstructing demons and return to the sect.]

[The ordinary demons present simply could not stop you with your blood qi boosted a hundredfold. Activating "Rocket Step", flames spewed from beneath your feet, and you shot up the mountain like a humanoid missile.]

["Captain Chen! Take us with you!!"]

[The patrol members who were just with you cried out for help.]

[You ignored them.]

[Earlier, when you told them to go up the mountain and report the news, they refused to leave and just kept running their mouths. Now they finally know to call you Captain?]

[Too late!]

[The Scarlet Heart Sect had already noticed the anomaly and raised its grand mountain-protecting array.]

[Now, anyone left outside the grand array was completely shut out.]

[Inside the sect, all the disciples, members, and elders, as well as the rarely seen sect master and patriarchs, had all made their appearance.]

[Standing on the mountain, everyone watched in shock as the demon army pushed forward, flattening everything in its path.]

[The mountain-protecting array trembled violently under wave after wave of demonic attacks.]

[A group of array masters struggled desperately at the array core to maintain the formation.]

[Massive amounts of spirit crystals were depleted in an instant.]

[Their thoughts were exactly the same as yours.]

[The Scarlet Heart Sect was merely a second-rate sect; was it really worth such a massive mobilization from the demon race?]

[However, it was not over yet.]

[A dark cloud enveloped the mountain peak.]

[Within those clouds, the crowd actually saw teal dragon scales flashing in and out of sight.]

[There was clearly a colossal behemoth riding the clouds and mist!]

["My heavens... Did our Scarlet Heart Sect violate the laws of heaven?"]

[At this moment, your mind was as clear as a mirror.]

[The Scarlet Heart Sect was doomed; you could not stay here and be buried along with it.]

[Others might not be able to escape, but with your legendary trait, you still had a chance.]

[You guessed that the demon race's massive invasion of the Scarlet Heart Sect might be related to that ancient tower where unknown alien races had been seen.]

[The behemoth in the sky poked its mountain-sized dragon head out from the clouds.]

[Its massive, bright dragon eyes, as large as lakes, carried an absolute, undeniable majesty.]

[With just a light snort, the Scarlet Heart Sect's mountain-protecting array shattered like fragile paper.]

[A massive horde of demons flooded through the sect gates, wreaking havoc and slaughtering everyone in sight as the Scarlet Heart Sect members fought back desperately.]

[Wielding a sword technique in one hand and a spear technique in the other, you carved a bloody path out of the chaos.]

["Oh my, this is quite easy!"]

[Truly worthy of being the biological father of alien races, you increasingly felt that this golden trait was simply too useful!]

[In front of humans, you were merely a cultivator in the Spirit Gathering Realm.]

[But in front of the demon race, you instantly transformed into a tanky and devastatingly powerful juggernaut!]

[Just as you were about to slip away, you saw Yin Rui near the library pavilion, engaged in a desperate life-and-death struggle against a large swarm of demons.]

[What do you want to do?]

[1. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda; go save Yin Rui;]

[2. The situation is perilous, and survival is the top priority; flee immediately.]

[3. Take advantage of the chaos to loot some martial Dao resources from the Chixin Sect.]

The simulation paused, awaiting Chen Yi's choice.
