Chapter 31 Farmhouse City
Yun Weiyang was somewhat surprised.
Looking at the scene before him, he thought he had entered a righteous sect. This place did not resemble the Nine Nether Sect, one of the Ten Demonic Paths.
Following the corridor, crossing the rainbow bridge, and passing through palace after palace, Yun Weiyang followed Li Qinghe and Shen Longlin deeper and deeper into the Ninefold Underworld.
Disciples of the Nine Nether Sect gradually appeared around them, bowing to Shen Longlin from afar and looking curiously at Li Qinghe beside Shen Longlin and Yun Weiyang behind Li Qinghe.
After walking for about half an hour, the three arrived at a Taoist palace deep within the Ninefold Netherworld.
The Taoist palace was entirely golden, shimmering with endless radiance, like a sun set on the ground.
Shen Longlin pushed open the door of the Dao Palace, and the three of them entered.
Everything in the Taoist palace was golden: the palace lanterns, incense burners, floors, dome, and curtains were all golden, shimmering and dazzling.
Footsteps approached, and from the corridor behind the Taoist palace, a somewhat plump Taoist priest with black hair tied up in a crown and wearing a golden brocade robe strode out. He looked at Li Qinghe, a flicker of emotion flashing in his eyes, and said calmly, "You're back?"
"Mm." Li Qinghe nodded, her usually cold expression softening considerably.
Looking at the Taoist priest in the golden robe, Yun Weiyang knew that this must be Li Qinghe's father, the Nongting City official who made Zuo Shulong turn pale at the mere mention of his name.
"My niece Qinghe is back."
Another person walked out of the corridor. This person had a heroic face, a long beard, a tall figure, and thick long hair that was draped behind him. He looked at Li Qinghe and showed a kind smile.
"Now that you're back, you'll have to be more careful in the future."
Li Qinghe looked at the person who came out, expressionless, and did not respond.
Shen Longlin spoke up at the opportune moment: "Sect Leader, Qinghe has now returned, and the five elders of our Nine Nether Sect are finally complete."
The leader of the sect, this person is Yan Qihui, the leader of the Nine Nether Sect.
Yan Qihui smiled and looked at Nong Tingshi beside him: "Brother Dao, it seems we need to gather our disciples and announce this matter."
Noriyuki nodded without saying anything.
At this moment, Yan Qihui and Nong Tingshi both turned their gazes to Yun Weiyang. Their eyes were deep and unfathomable, their light flashing as if they wanted to see through his flesh and soul.
"The 'Scripture of the Demon' and such a large Soul Steel," Yan Qihui said with a smile. "That's truly rare."
Walking up to Yun Weiyang, Yan Qihui reached out his hand, giving Yun Weiyang no chance to refuse, and placed his palm directly on Yun Weiyang's head.
Neither Nong Tingshi nor Li Qinghe made any statement regarding this. Exploring the soul is a process that every disciple of the Nine Nether Sect must undergo, but it is impossible for ordinary disciples to have the sect leader, Yan Qihui, personally take action.
Yun Weiyang did not resist. Li Qinghe hadn't even made a move, so his resistance would have been futile.
A powerful surge of divine consciousness flooded into Yun Weiyang's sea of consciousness, almost bursting it apart.
Yun Weiyang felt as if his consciousness and memories were being roughly searched, as if someone was using a large hand to rummage through his brain, taking everything out and examining it one by one.
Her face was pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but Yun Weiyang's expression remained calm.
Nong Tingshi looked at Yun Weiyang, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
A moment later, Yan Qihui withdrew his hand, looked at Yun Weiyang, and smiled.
"Young Yun, you have good aptitude. I also wanted to cultivate the 'Demon Seal Scripture' back then, but unfortunately I couldn't stick with it and switched to the 'Dragon Demon Sacred Armor Scripture'."
Yun Weiyang couldn't help but chuckle: "You really love to joke, old man. The 'Seal Demon Scripture' is no match for the 'Dragon Demon Holy Armor Scripture'."
"Hahaha!" Yan Qihui laughed loudly, patting Yun Weiyang on the shoulder: "Your personality is quite interesting, unlike others who are timid and hesitant. The Dragon Demon Holy Armor Scripture is certainly good, but I prefer the Seal Demon Scripture."
Looking at Yun Weiyang, Yan Qihui chuckled and turned to look at Li Qinghe and Nong Tingshi.
"You and your daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, so I won't disturb you any longer. Qinghe, get ready. I will announce Elder Jian's return in three days. You should make an appearance then."
Li Qinghe nodded.
Nongting City saw Yan Qihui and Shen Longlin off as they left the Dao Palace.
Watching the three leave, Li Qinghe looked at Yun Weiyang and said calmly, "You're in trouble. Old Monster Yan seems quite interested in you."
Yun Weiyang shook her head and smiled: "Isn't this what you expected? You made me cultivate the 'Demon Seal Scripture' just for Yan Qihui, right?"
"You seem to understand things very well."
Nong Tingshi's deep voice came from behind him. After seeing Yan Qihui and Shen Longlin off, he came back and looked at Yun Weiyang with a deep gaze.
"Souls capable of cultivating the 'Demon Seal Scripture' are very rare. Old Monster Yan's foundation is the 'Dragon Demon Sacred Armor Scripture.' To cultivate this scripture to perfection, one must forge twelve dragon demons. Old Monster Yan has already forged ten demon dragons over the years, and his cultivation is unfathomable. It seems that he intends to forge you into the eleventh demon dragon."
Nong Tingshi reached out and patted Yun Weiyang on the shoulder.
A flash of golden light.
Yun Weiyang shuddered. Streams of demonic energy were swept out from her acupoints, sea of consciousness, meridians, and even the Dao Embryo Cave Heaven, and shattered in bursts of golden light.
Nong Tingshi withdrew his hand and said calmly, "One hundred and twenty demon seeds. It seems that many people in the sect are interested in you."
Yun Weiyang remained expressionless.
Without his knowledge, he was implanted with one hundred and twenty demonic seeds. This was the Nine Nether Sect, this was the demonic path, and this was exactly what he had imagined the demonic path to be.
Walking to a chair, Yun Weiyang sat down without any hesitation, looking at the father and daughter opposite her.
"Now that I've joined the Nine Nether Sect, tell me, what is your purpose? You expect me to deal with Yan Qihui? That's impossible. He's the leader of the Nine Nether Sect. If he just makes a statement, thousands of people in the Nine Nether Sect will grind me to dust."
"You think you can deal with Yan Qihui?"
Nong Tingshi sat opposite Yun Weiyang, his face illuminated by the golden light of the Dao Palace, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
"You think highly of yourself."
Yun Weiyang smiled but didn't say anything.
Nong Tingshi glanced at Li Qinghe, who nodded slightly.
"Since you asked, then I'll let you know." Nong Tingshi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said in a slow and unhurried voice, "The Nine Nether Sect currently has three Grand Masters on the surface."
"Great Master?" Yun Weiyang asked.
"A cultivator who survives the Tribulation of the Second Nine Heavens becomes a Great True Person. In the Nine Provinces of Tianyuan, a Great True Person also has another title: Sect Master, which is the head of a sect. Among the many top sects in the Nine Provinces of Tianyuan, only those who have produced a Great True Person and possess a Primordial Yang Treasure that suppresses the fortune of the sect are qualified to be called top sects. The Twelve Righteous Sects, the Ten Directions of Demonic Path, and the Nine Heretical Sects all meet these two conditions."
