In fact, the East Pole Demon Sect was only a third-rate sect on the Bloodmoon Continent. But no matter what, they could still be considered as a third-rate sect. There were countless small forces and organizations on the Bloodmoon Continent that could not be considered as a third-rate sect at all. Compared to them, the East Pole Demon Sect was naturally very powerful.
The East Pole Demon Sect was located in the northwest corner of the Bloodmoon Continent. The sect's encampment was built in the depths of a mountain range. There was a large river at the entrance of the encampment and a mineral vein that could only produce mid-grade Demon Stones.
The entrance of the Demon Sect's encampment was facing the upper flow of the river. However, it was only composed of three ordinary-looking stones.
Two stones were erected as the door frame, and a long horizontal stone was used as the lintel.
There was no plaque. The words "East Pole Demon Sect" were engraved on the stone lintel. The words were completely blood-red and looked as if they were still dripping blood.
There were no disciples guarding the entrance of the East Pole Demon Sect's encampment. There was only a huge, pitch-black, tiger-like demonic beast that crept at the entrance. Occasionally, when someone passed by, the demonic beast would slightly open its eyes. If a disciple of the Demon Sect came, it would close its eyes again.
When Jiang Kui and the other two brought Xiao Lingyu to the entrance, the demonic beast glanced at them first. But then, it stared at Xiao Lingyu and let out a warning growl. It seemed to indicate that Xiao Lingyu should not take half a step closer.
"Don't be afraid. It won't act rashly," Jiang Kui said to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu was not afraid. She just narrowed her eyes and glanced at it. She even used her mind to spy on it.
At this time, Jiang Kui took another step forward and said to the demonic beast politely, "This person is about to join the East Pole Demon Sect. Please let her pass."
The demonic beast was only at the late stage of the Heavenly Demon Realm. It was only a little stronger than Jiang Kui. When it felt Xiao Lingyu's mind sweep past it, it immediately crept down and did not dare to raise its head.
Jiang Kui's level was too low, so he couldn't sense Xiao Lingyu's thoughts. He thought that his words had caused the demonic beast to prostrate itself, so he said to Xiao Lingyu, "It's closer to me. Other people have to wait outside when they bring someone in, but it'll still give me some face and let me in."
As they spoke, Jiang Kui and the other two walked towards the depths of the sect encampment. Xiao Lingyu followed with an undetectable smile.
The layout of the East Pole Devil Sect's encampment was very simple. There weren't any flowers or plants that could be found in paradise. There was only a small path paved with rocks and some untended trees.
Along the way, they saw quite a few Devil Sect cultivators. However, they did not greet each other. At most, they would take a few more glances before leaving in a hurry.
As for the houses and other buildings, they were all piled up with boulders. There was not the slightest bit of beauty or order to speak of.
There were also many restrictions and formations set up in the depths of the encampment. However, they were not very strong. At least, they could not compare to the Blood Submerge Demonic Formation of the Black Blood Demon in the Cultivation World. However, there were quite a few demonic beasts creeping around, staring at the cultivators coming in and out of the Devil Sect.
Following a small gravel path, Jiang Kui took Xiao Lingyu for the time it took to drink a cup of tea before arriving in front of a stone building.
This stone building had two floors, but it could be considered a relatively large building in the encampment.
There was an almost decayed wooden board above the stone building's lintel with the words "Hall of Records" written on it.
After entering the stone building, they saw a hall less than a hundred square meters. There was a long counter facing the door.
Behind the counter was an old man sitting on a stone chair. In front of him stood a few Devil Sect disciples.
"Oh? Isn't this Senior Martial Brother Jiang? How come you have time to come to the Hall of Records today? Eh? Could it be that you kidnapped this person? "
In less than three breaths of time after entering, a young and handsome cultivator in brocade clothes walked up to Jiang Gan and asked with a curious look on his face.
"You can come to the Hall of Records, but I can't?"
Seeing the handsome cultivator, Jiang Kui's expression immediately darkened. He coldly snorted and said, "What does it have to do with you whether or not I kidnapped him?"
"Haha, it has nothing to do with me now. I don't know what will happen in the future." The handsome cultivator laughed.
"Silence in the Hall of Records!"
Just as the young cultivator finished speaking, an old but dignified voice resounded in the hall.
When the young cultivator and Jiang Gan heard this, their expressions greatly changed. They immediately lowered their heads and bowed to the counter.
The voice came from the old man behind the counter. He glanced at the two of them and then shifted his gaze to the cultivator standing in front of the counter.
"I was the one who brought him here. If you have any devious ideas, you'd best find someone else. Otherwise …"
"Otherwise what? Are you going to eat me? "
"Eat you? I'm afraid of dirtying my mouth and stomach! "
"You're not necessarily cleaner than me."
"At least I'm cleaner than you!"
"Let's wait and see. Your master is about to go into seclusion. How many more days can you be arrogant?"
"I've always relied on my own strength, unlike someone who relied on his face to curry favor with the seniors of the sect!"
"You should pay attention to what you say. Which senior of the sect did I rely on my face to curry favor with? Do you have the guts to say it clearly? "
"As long as you know it in your heart, I'm too lazy to talk about that nonsense!"
The young cultivator and Jiang Kui were quiet for a moment before they started arguing again. However, their voices were very low, and they kept glancing at the counter intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were very afraid of the old man behind the counter.
"Fang Yu, you didn't come to the Hall of Records just to quarrel, right?"
Unknowingly, the cultivators in front of the counter had all left. The old man asked the young cultivator this question.
The young and handsome cultivator called Fang Yu immediately stopped arguing with Jiang Kui in a low voice. He squeezed out a smile and walked to the front of the counter. He said respectfully, "Senior Brother Li, I'm here today to take the registration token of a Devil Sect disciple."
"Oh? Could it be that the disciple was expelled from the sect again? "Old Li frowned.
"Uh … yes!" Fang Yu paused for a moment before replying.
"Expelled from the sect, it's clear that he's imprisoned him. After taking the registration token, he's going to kill him and then devour his cultivation. If you have the ability, go kill people from other sects. Don't just stare at your own people all day! "Jiang Kui mocked from behind. His voice wasn't too loud nor too soft, but everyone present could hear him.
"Do you have your master's token?" Old Li didn't pursue the matter any further and asked.
"Of course I do. Otherwise, why would Fang Yu dare to come here and disturb you? I don't have the right to expel people." Fang Yu replied and took out a token that looked like a black ink slab.
"Which disciple's nameplate do you want to take?" Old Man Li glanced at the nameplate and asked with an indifferent expression.
"Wang Lin," Fang Yu replied.
"What? Senior Wang Lin? "Jiang Kui was very surprised.
Even Old Man Li's brows furrowed even tighter, but he still reached under the counter and pulled out a black jade-like nameplate.
Jiang Kui stepped forward and anxiously said, "Senior Li, you can't. That Senior Wang Lin definitely doesn't have any ill intentions towards our Devil Sect. He is also very righteous and always does his best. How could he have been expelled from the sect?"
When old Li heard this, he paused for a moment. He seemed to think so as well.
"With my master's token here, could it be that you two senior brothers think that this little brother is spouting nonsense and deceiving you?" Fang Yu said confidently.
"Hmph! You just took a fancy to Senior Brother Wang Lin's cultivation, and he didn't like your petty habits. Because he said a few words about you, you became narrow-minded and wanted to harm him! "Jiang Kui retorted without any trace of politeness.
Fang Yu coldly replied, "Senior Jiang, this is the Hall of Fame. You have to watch your words. Framing a fellow sect member is not a light crime!"
"Framing a fellow sect member? I, Jiang Kui, have never done something like that. You, on the other hand, do it all the time! Not only do you frame a fellow sect member, but you also often harm fellow sect members! "Jiang Kui's eyes were wide open as he angrily said.
"Okay, if you guys want to argue, go outside. Fang Yu, you can take Wang Lin's registration token after you sign it."
Old Li waved his hand to stop the two of them from arguing. He then threw a jade and the registration token on the table.
Fang Yu smiled proudly at Jiang Kui. Then, he first inserted a wisp of his Soul Imprint into the jade slip as a form of proof, then took the registration token away.
Jiang Kui angrily asked, "Senior Li, how could you give Senior Wang Lin's registration token to a petty person like him?"
"What? Do I need you to teach me how to do things? "Old Li's expression became serious as he unhappily said.
Jiang Kui was like a frosted eggplant. He dejectedly said, "Little brother doesn't dare."
"Since you've entered the demonic path, you shouldn't be merciful. When you want to kill, you should kill, and you should use any means necessary. In this regard, that petty person you speak of is much better than you. Us demonic cultivators not only need to be ruthless and murderous, but also have to be cunning. Only then can we live longer and go further. "Old Li added, but it sounded like an explanation.
"Thank you, Senior Li, for your teachings." Jiang Kui bitterly said. Although he wasn't convinced, he didn't dare to argue.
"In the future, it's best if you don't provoke Fang Yu. Although your strength isn't inferior to his, your intelligence is far inferior. If you fight with him, you will easily lose."
After Old Li reminded him again, he pointed at Xiao Lingyu and asked, "You're going to register him, right?"
"Yes, Senior Li." Jiang Kui said, "He just ascended from the lower realm. I heard that the sect was lacking servants to raise demonic beasts, so I brought him back."
"You're quite considerate of the sect."
Old Li first praised him, then looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, "Servant? That's a bit unfair. "
Jiang Kui dryly laughed. "Hehe, it's a bit unfair. But once his cultivation is high enough, I'll have him find a master to formally enter the sect."
Old Man Li looked at Xiao Lingyu again and asked with a smile, "Little brother, did you really just ascend from the lower realms?"
"Yes." Xiao Lingyu nodded.
