Make the New Heavenly Demon Sect Great Again

Su Luo had walked halfway when it suddenly occurred to him—he had been traveling and enjoying himself for a month, and according to the timeline, the Heavenly Demon Sect was preparing to make a name for itself outside soon.

They were right; they should go out and establish their reputation.

He must have misremembered the timing because he’d been having too much fun lately.

But considering their current injured state, could they really go out so soon?

Ah, whatever. As long as they could move, it was fine.

Su Luo opened his diary.

[The cultivation world, which had been peaceful for a while, was about to become lively again.]

[This time, it would be our new Heavenly Demon Sect making a grand entrance.]

[The main goal was to pressure Lin Xuan—otherwise, he’d have no rivals left.]

[Our objective this time was to destroy the Demon-Sealing Tower and release the demonic beasts inside.]

[The Demon-Sealing Tower belonged to the assassination organization Shadow, which was under the West Extreme Demon Lord.]

[The tower imprisoned many demonic beasts, used for research and such.]

[At first, it was just about studying how to enslave demonic beasts, but later, things took a dark turn—they developed something else: Demon Qi Pills.]

[Simply put, these pills extracted the demonic energy from beasts and refined it into a consumable form. Once ingested, the user would gain monstrous strength akin to a demonic beast.]

[I led the Heavenly Demon Sect to liberate the tower, and the demonic beasts inside scattered in all directions.]

[But their escape wasn’t the end of it. These beasts had been imprisoned for years, enduring physical and mental torment, and they harbored deep hatred for humans.]

[The moment they got out, they sought revenge.]

[Of course, reckless attacks on humans were suicidal, and many of these beasts were quickly exterminated by righteous sects.]

[But some were cunning. They had learned patience and devised a unique method of vengeance.]

[While being experimented on, they had observed humans and secretly mastered the art of refining Demon Qi Pills. Now, they forced ordinary people to consume them, triggering bestial transformations.]

[Ordinary humans had no resistance to the pills. Once ingested, they lost their minds and wreaked havoc.]

[Even cultivators weren’t immune—especially those with low cultivation. They, too, succumbed to the transformation, becoming even more powerful and uncontrollable.]

[The sheer number of transformed individuals became a major headache. After all, they had once been human, making it hard for people to act decisively against them.]

[The situation escalated, causing widespread chaos.]

[Some tried to find a way to reverse the transformations, but no matter what they did, it proved nearly impossible.]

[Was the only solution to kill them all? Just as everyone was at their wits’ end, Lin Xuan returned from the north.]

[Upon assessing the situation, Lin Xuan took action. He first tracked down the mastermind behind the demonic beasts, then engaged in a fierce battle and defeated their leader.]

[With the source of the Demon Qi Pills eliminated—and the formula in the Demon-Sealing Tower destroyed by the escaping beasts, along with the death of those who knew it—the crisis was contained.]

[After resolving this, Lin Xuan focused on reversing the transformations.]

[After extensive research, he finally discovered how to purge the demonic energy from the victims’ bodies.]

[In the end, many of the transformed were saved.]

[Once the dust settled, further investigation revealed that the root cause was our new Heavenly Demon Sect, adding fuel to the flames of old grudges.]

[Our sect’s infamy soared once more, though there was little room for further expansion—most of the demonic factions had already joined us.]

[Aside from the Earthly Fiend Sect, there were no major forces left unaffiliated.]

[So, I had a second objective: send Feng Chengkai and Lei Shi, two of my most capable generals, to the Earthly Fiend Sect to invite the Right Envoy to rejoin the Heavenly Demon Sect.]

[I knew that with the Demon God’s inheritance, I would eventually reach the Great Ascension Realm. But for now, without a Great Ascension cultivator, our new Heavenly Demon Sect was insignificant.]

[The Right Envoy was the perfect target.]

[Of course, the Right Envoy refused. A junior like me had no right to command him, and Feng Chengkai and Lei Shi’s arrogant remarks only provoked him further.]

[The Right Envoy detained both of them on the spot.]

[I went to rescue them personally. Out of respect for our shared history in the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Right Envoy merely posed a challenge: if I could take the two from him, the matter would be settled.]

[From then on, we’d stay out of each other’s way.]

[I rose to the occasion. Having assimilated much of the Demon God’s inheritance, my cultivation and techniques had grown significantly.]

In the end, I managed to escape with the two in tow—though not without some embarrassment.

[The Right Envoy merely laughed. He had gone easy on me, and afterward, he even did me a favor.]

[He spread word far and wide, exaggerating my exploits—how I had stormed the Earthly Fiend Sect and left unscathed, how I was destined to surpass all previous Demon Lords, becoming the most fearsome in history.]

[Clearly, he was giving me a boost, elevating the reputation of the new Heavenly Demon Sect and my own standing.]

[But the Right Envoy had his own motives. By making me infamous, he drew attention away from himself. He feared Jiang Ningshu might come for him and hoped my new sect would divert her focus.]

[Of course, the Right Envoy had no choice—he couldn’t outright ask Jiang Ningshu, “Do you still hate us?”]

[So, he kept a low profile while pushing my new Heavenly Demon Sect into the spotlight, testing Jiang Ningshu’s reaction.]

[At the same time, he ensured his Earthly Fiend Sect stayed under the radar, leaving my sect to bear the brunt of the righteous factions’ pressure.]

[After these two incidents, the righteous sects had no choice but to take my new Heavenly Demon Sect seriously.]

Su Luo closed his diary.

[Diary entry completed. Reward: Constitution +2, Strength +2.]

[Special ability acquired: Extinguish.]

[Effect: Silence. Can extinguish an opponent’s attack before it’s unleashed. Usable 30 times per day.]

Su Luo tested it out—a silencing skill, particularly effective against charged attacks.

Imagine an opponent spending ages powering up, only for an Extinguish to render their ultimate move useless.

Not bad.

A few days later, Su Luo gathered the Heavenly Demon Sect members once more.

“Everyone, change of plans. It’s time for us to make our move.”

The announcement was met with little enthusiasm.

They were still badly injured, and now he wanted them to work?

Where was this energy earlier?

Yet no one dared voice their true thoughts. They forced cheers and rallied half-heartedly.

Su Luo delivered a rousing speech.

“The new Heavenly Demon Sect will make its grand debut before the world!”

“Let us be the ones to bring them fear!”

“Move out!”

Su Luo set off immediately.

The others followed, albeit reluctantly.

Once outside, they couldn’t help but marvel at the fresh air—it had been so long.

But the moment they moved, pain shot through their bodies, making them wish they’d stayed put.

Yet staying behind wasn’t an option.

Of course not.
