Chou Xiangzi used his wide sleeves to cover his face. He looked at Chu Xiu with a gaze filled with venomous hatred.
He didn't hate Chu Xiu for defeating him, but he hated Chu Xiu for using a Buddhist technique to shake up the poisonous insects in his body, making it impossible for him to maintain his youthful appearance. Chou Xiangzi valued his face immensely. Destroying his face was more painful than killing him.
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Those who practice Buddhist techniques are spies of Buddhism. If I practice poison techniques, would I still be a member of your Five Poisons Sect?"
Mr. Lu also sneered and said, "I've also practiced Daoism's Tai Chi Yin Yang Sword. Does that mean I'm also a member of Daoism? You Bright Demons can walk the Jianghu without worry. If we Hidden Demons aren't careful, I'm afraid we'd have been eliminated by those righteous Dao long ago! "
A hint of anger appeared in Chou Xiangzi's eyes. He wanted to say something, but at this moment, a monk in black who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground and meditating with his eyes closed suddenly said, "Alright, we've already fought. Let's not talk about spies and whatnot. Using merit to determine the enemy is what those righteous Dao sects do. The Sixth Demon Sect also practices both Buddhism and Demonic Dao. Could it be that the Sixth Demon Sect is also a Buddhist spy?"
The monk in black who spoke had the appearance of a middle-aged man. The black robe he wore looked like a kasaya, but at the same time, it didn't. There were all sorts of messy things like hell, lust, demons, and the Western Paradise painted on it with golden patterns, making it look extremely evil.
He had been fiddling with a string of prayer beads in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a skull carved from white bones. However, it emitted a jade-like luster, making it look a little strange.
Although this black-robed monk had the appearance of a bald monk with a ring scar, no one would think that he was a benevolent Buddhist monk based on his attire.
His aura was restrained, but he did not do it on purpose. Judging from the aura he exuded, one could tell that this monk was a Martial Dao Grand Master and was not someone to be trifled with.
Mr. Lu said to Chu Xiu through telepathy, "He is the martial arts master of the Sixth Demon Sect, Siddhartha Mi. He is in charge of the Sky of Lust, one of the Six Great Celestial Realms of the Sixth Demon Sect. He can trigger inner demons and kill people invisibly. He looks like an ordinary person, but he is an extremely difficult character to deal with."
Chu Xiu nodded. He had naturally heard of the Sixth Demon Sect. Its strength was definitely not weak. However, the Sixth Demon Sect was located far away from the Central Plains in the Hainan Sea region. Therefore, its reputation was relatively small.
The Sixth Demon Sect cultivates both demons and Buddhists, but in reality, they cultivate evil demonic techniques that counter Buddhists.
The Sixth Demon Sect worshiped the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, who was also known as Devil Luo Boxun. His techniques leaned towards the spiritual aspect, and in particular, it could trigger the opponent's inner demons, causing them to go berserk and even cripple their cultivation. It was extremely evil and ruthless.
Moreover, the martial arts of the Sixth Heavenly Demon Sect had a great restraining effect on Buddhist cultivators. Buddhist cultivators placed great emphasis on the cultivation of their mental state. Once their inner demons were aroused, their cultivation would be crippled. Even their Buddhist cultivation would be destroyed, and they would directly fall into the path of demons.
Therefore, the Sixth Demon Sect was located far away from the Central Plains and kept a low profile. Otherwise, they would have been annihilated by the joint forces of the Great Light Temple and the Subodhi Monastery.
This time, the Sixth Demon Sect acted as the middleman to mediate the conflict between the Bright Demons and the Hidden Demons. It was fine for both sides to have conflicts and fight to vent their anger, but it was impossible for them to really get into a fight.
Looking at the people around him, Siddari said calmly, "The people from the Omniscient Sect and the Rakshasa Sect haven't arrived yet. Everyone, take a break. It won't be too late to argue when they're here. Otherwise, if we end up fighting each other before we even see those from the Orthodox Dao, wouldn't that be a joke?"
When the martial arts grandmaster spoke, Chou Xiangzi could only glare at Chu Xiu hatefully and obediently returned to his seat.
At that moment, Chu Xiu also came to a realization. No wonder there were so few martial arts grandmasters in the hall. It turned out that they were afraid that they would not be able to restrain themselves if they fought.
Actually, apart from the independent cultivators, the factions that were qualified to participate in the Demon Dao Conference this time all had a martial arts grandmaster behind them. However, not all of them could come.
This was because if they all came, it would be as Siddari said and they ended up quarreling. When both sides fought, it would be very easy for them to end up badly injured. That would not be easy to clean up.
Therefore, the representatives from both sides were only martial artists at the Unity of Heaven and man realm. Martial artists at this level were already the backbone of the major factions and had the right to represent their respective sects, just like Mr. Lu and Chou Xiangzi from before.
There were only three martial arts grandmasters in the entire hall — one each from the Bright Demons, the Hidden Demons, and the Sixth Demon Sect.
One of them was the host and mediator, Siddari. On the Bright Demons' side, there was also a middle-aged martial artist in a loose black robe with a shady expression. However, Chu Xiu did not know which sect he was from. When Chu Xiu fought with Chou Xiangzi just now, he did not speak, and his expression did not even change at all. Clearly, he was not from the Five Poison Sect.
On the other hand, the martial arts grandmaster from the Hidden Demons' side was very strange. He was actually a slightly sloppy old man in a loose gray robe.
From the moment Chu Xiu came in, he had been leaning on the chair with his eyes squinted as if he had not woken up yet, as if he did not care about anything at all.
Seeing that things had come to an end, Mr. Lu pulled Chu Xiu over to the old man and bowed respectfully. "Senior Wei, this is the martial artist Lin Ye, who is representing the Shadow Demon Sect to participate in the Demon Dao Conference. He is a rising star of our Demon Dao, and his strength is extraordinary. Even the Saintess has praised him."
As he spoke, Mr. Lu hurriedly said to Chu Xiu, "This is a senior of our Demon Dao, one of the five great Sky Demons of the Ninth Sky Mountain, 'Jadeface Sky Demon' Wei Shuya."
Chu Xiu bowed to Wei Shuya, but he could not help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Speaking of Wei Shuya, Chu Xiu probably could not remember who he was, but the five great Sky Demons of the Ninth Sky Mountain were still very famous.
Two hundred years ago, in the Ninth Sky Mountain of Eastern Qi, five experts of Demon Dao joined hands and raised a big flag, calling on all the Demon Dao in the world to return to the Kunlun Devil Cult and restore the Demon Dao to its former glory. These five people were all martial arts grandmasters, and together, they were called the five great Sky Demons. For a while, all the Rogue Cultivators, Demon Dao martial artists, and some sects of the Hidden Demons Sect responded, and their momentum was incomparably great. It actually had the momentum of the Demon Dao.
Unfortunately, there was still a huge gap between the Righteous Dao and the Demon Dao. Under the cooperation of several big sects of the Righteous Dao, four of the Five Sky Demons of the Ninth Sky Mountain were killed, and the so-called Demon Dao Alliance completely fell apart.
That was also the last grand occasion of the Demon Dao. Since then, for two hundred years, the Demon Dao had been keeping a low profile. For example, during the God Weapon Conference, the Phaseless Demon Sect's attack was considered to be on a relatively large scale.
This' Jadeface Sky Demon 'Wei Shuya was the only survivor of the Five Sky Demons of the Ninth Sky Mountain. However, his lifespan was approaching three hundred years, and he was almost at the end of his life. Therefore, there were rumors in the Jianghu that Wei Shuya was already dead. Unexpectedly, he was still alive, but his appearance was somewhat different from what Chu Xiu had imagined.
Wei Shuya used to be called 'Jadeface Sky Demon'. He was extremely handsome and elegant, and he did not look like a murderer of the Demon Dao at all. He was clearly a gentleman of the Jianghu.
It was said that in the past, Wei Shuya had a romantic past with the Taoist Nun of the Zhen Wu Sect, the legitimate daughter of the Nine Great Families, and the Sword Fairy of the Yue Nu Palace. However, no one except Wei Shuya knew whether it was a Jianghu rumor or a real thing.
Wei Shuya waved his hand lazily and said, "What Jadeface Sky Demon? The wrinkles on this old man's face are enough to kill a fly. Jadeface?
Little baby boy, you're quite good. Since you were chosen by that Plum Blossom, you definitely wouldn't be wrong. That girl was extremely proud and arrogant. If there wasn't a suitable candidate, she would rather not participate in this Demonic Path Alliance Meeting.
Go back and save your strength. In a while, you'll have to fight with those people on the other side.
But you don't have to be afraid. This old man is going to die soon. Whether they want to play dirty or not, I'll play with them. "
Wei Shuya did not hide his words. He said it in front of the Bright Demon Lineage. It was obvious that he was referring to them.
On the side of the Bright Demon Lineage, the warrior shrouded in a black robe snorted coldly, but he did not say anything.
He pulled Chu Xiu to the side and sat down. Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Who's that Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Bright Demon Lineage?"
Mister Lu said expressionlessly, "His background is not simple. He's Mountain Ghost, one of the Nine God Magi of the Moon Worshipping Cult. You should have heard of him."
Chu Xiu nodded and a strange look appeared in his eyes. Of course, he knew this name. This was a big shot.
The Miaojiang Moon Worshipping Cult's power was so great that it had almost become the number one sect in the Demon Dao. Even when the Kunlun Devil Cult's demonic power swallowed the heavens and suppressed the entire Jianghu, the Moon Worshipping Cult only chose to 'follow' and not 'submit'.
Therefore, after the Kunlun Devil Cult was destroyed, the Moon Worshipping Cult managed to escape in time and was not implicated.
Moreover, the Moon Worshipping Cult had countless powerhouses. On the surface, there were already more than ten Martial Arts Grandmasters, which could be compared to the Great Light Temple or the Celestial Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain.
The top three powerhouses of the Moon Worshipping Cult were the Sect Leader, the High Priest, and the Witch. The Witch's status was similar to that of Mei Qinglian's Yin Demon Sect Saintess, second only to the Sect Leader.
Other than these three, the strongest ones in the Moon Worshipping Cult were the nine God Maguspriests. They were named after the nine Ghost Gods in the legends of the ancient Miao Jiang. They were the East Emperor Taiyi, Lord Yun Zhongjun, Great Lord Si Ming, Young Lord Si Ming, Lord Xiang, Lady Xiang, Lord Dong, River Earl, and Mountain Ghost.
These nine were the nine God Magi of the Moon Worshipping Cult. Names were no longer important to them. From the moment they inherited the title of God Magi, they were called by this name.
Mountain Ghost could only be ranked last among the nine God Magi of the Moon Worshipping Cult, but he was still qualified to represent the Moon Worshipping Cult in the Demon Dao Conference. One could imagine the overall strength of the Moon Worshipping Cult.
