Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 243 - Lin Zhi to be Expelled from the Sect

Chapter 243: Lin Zhi to be Expelled from the Sect

“Ah...”

“Get back here, get back here!”

“Stop right there!”

In the cell, Zhuang Yuzhen struggled frantically as if greatly agitated.

After Jiang Hao said those two words, he saw the other party go crazy.

So, he turned and left.

Even if the other party calmed down, he would still have to leave.

Because they couldn’t chat too much.

Chatting would lose the sense of mystery.

The most difficult time for people to endure is the period of doubt.

The unknown makes it hard for one to stay calm.

Once the specifics are known, one tends to calm down.

Just like Zhuang Yuzhen now, he didn’t know how much he had exposed.

Nor did he know how much Jiang Hao actually knew, so he would guess and worry.

It was a painful time, with a stone hanging overhead that could never be put down.

“Bring him to me, I’ll say it, I’ll say everything, I want to see him!”

At that moment, the woman in the black robe appeared again, saying the same thing as before: “Where’s your sincerity?” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

“I won’t say anything unless I see him. Let him come, I’ll tell everything,” Zhuang Yuzhen no longer trusted the other party.

The woman in the black robe hesitated for a moment, then retreated.

“I’m not in a hurry, I hope you’re not either.”

“You wretched woman, I’ll remember this!”

Zhuang Yuzhen struggled furiously.

He was going to be driven mad by these people.

Snap!

Suddenly, a whip struck his face.

The blow stunned him in the midst of his frenzy.

Then the whip came down again.

Snap!

Snap!

“Is that all the strength you have? If you dare, just kill me. Wretched woman!”

The woman in the black robe, amidst Zhuang Yuzhen’s curses, whipped him a hundred times.

Then she retreated again.

By this time, Zhuang Yuzhen’s mouth was already a bloody mess.

“...”

......

Leaving the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao felt he couldn’t come here again.

This time, telling Zhuang Yuzhen the words ‘Corpse Heart’ was already the last straw.

Because what followed was out of his control.

Seeing the other party again would mean he had no more leverage, nor could he intimidate him.

It was better to keep him hanging.

Unless he truly obtained the Corpse Heart, seeing him would only spoil things.

However, what was unexpected was that Zhuang Yuzhen was surprised that the Tianyin Sect was a Demon Sect.

As if it was a sect of immortals.

The Corpse God Sect, not to mention other things, just with the practice of corpse disintegration and possession, could not possibly be a righteous sect.

This would greatly limit the development of the sect.

Even if a portion of the people were willing to abide by the sect’s rules, many more would not want to be bound in such a way.

After all, possession was extremely important to them.

Once these people came together, the Corpse God Sect would split into righteous and evil factions.

One conservative, the other corrupt.

“I feel that this possibility is not very high.”

In the world of cultivation, it’s not uncommon for people to die at the hands of their fellow sect members, whether it’s in the Demon Sect or the Immortal Sects.

The people of the Corpse God Sect wouldn’t be so pedantic, so the restrictions on seizing bodies shouldn’t be too severe.

However, if they don’t conflict with the Immortal Sects and don’t target ordinary people, perhaps they could also be considered an Immortal Sect.

The reason why the Tianyin Sect is known as a Demon Sect is firstly because they never care about ordinary people.

If they kill, they kill; if they rob, they rob.

Of course, this is also true when they face other cultivators.

If they kill, they kill.

Secondly, they are unscrupulous.

In forging artifacts, making talismans, or concocting pills, they’ll do anything to succeed, especially when they’re poor.

Once they’re wealthy, such people become less common.

However, it still happens occasionally, and robbing others occurs every year.

Ninety percent of the ordinary people in the Spiritual Medicine Garden came from such circumstances.

Returning to his courtyard, Jiang Hao began to comprehend the nameless secret manual.

He had recently reached a bottleneck.

He wanted to advance to the next level as soon as possible.

In the following months, while earning spirit stones, he planned to figure out Bai Ye’s residence.

It would be convenient for casting curses.

It was surprising that the other party had issued a challenge so quickly.

No wonder he hadn’t suffered any spells recently; it turned out the other party was too preoccupied.

......

Another seven days passed.

Jiang Hao put down the nameless secret manual, finally feeling that he had reached a new level.

His perception became more sensitive, and the world in his eyes also showed subtle changes.

He could see more things, sense the flow of breath, the exhalation of the Nascent Soul.

He could detect a thing or two.

The more he understood, the more he felt like Hong Yuye was looking at him as if stripping off his clothes.

But the more he comprehended, the deeper he hid himself.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

“If I learn the nameless secret manual to the end, can I even conceal my fate from the heavens?”

Currently, his breath, spirit, and divine abilities could all be perceived and concealed.

In the future, it might be possible to see and conceal even fate.

He could only be sure of this after reaching that level of comprehension, unless he asked Hong Yuye.

“Speaking of which, it’s been half a month. Haven’t the rabbits and the others come back yet?”

Without the rabbits and the others, many things had been put on hold, especially on Chu Chuan’s side.

Now, all he could do was continue to wait.

......

Baiyue Lake.

Zhao Qingxue ran in from outside.

She came to Zhou Chan and said somewhat nervously.

“Senior Sister, can I ask you something?”

“What is it?” Zhou Chan asked curiously.

“Does the sect have a rule that if an outer disciple stays at the Qi Refining first level for three years, they will be expelled from the sect?” Zhao Qingxue asked seriously.

“It seems there is such a rule, but there are very few such people. I’m not too sure myself,” Zhou Chan said awkwardly.

Not to mention Baiyue Lake, there are no such people in other places either.

How could someone still be at the Qi Refining first level after three years?

As long as one is accepted into the sect, even the least talented wouldn’t be that bad.

“Lin Zhi is still at the Qi Refining first level,” Zhao Qingxue said.

Ah...

Zhou Chan said somewhat helplessly, “In theory, it’s unlikely, maybe he’s really not suited for cultivation.”

“Senior Sister, is there a way you can help him stay?” Zhao Qingxue requested.

“I don’t know about this, I don’t even know who’s in charge of this matter,” Zhou Chan said, a bit embarrassed, and then she added.

“I’ll take you to ask Elder Qianxu.”

......

A short while later.

In front of Elder Qianxu’s courtyard, Zhou Chan inquired about the affairs of the outer sect.

“Staying at the Qi Refining first level for three years after joining? Isn’t keeping such a disciple just asking for trouble?” Elder Qianxu exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Qingxue bowed her head, not daring to say more.

“Elder, please just tell us if there’s a way,” Zhou Chan pleaded with her hands together.

“Go to Duanqing Cliff’s outer sect and send a greeting, and they can allow him to stay for another year. If he advances to the Qi Refining second level within that year, that’s good. If he still can’t advance, then he’ll have to go find the master of Duanqing Cliff. If he agrees, there will be no problem, and other branches won’t interfere,” Elder Qianxu said.

“Should I go and help him stay for another year?” Zhou Chan tried to ask.

“Remember to give one or two spirit stones,” Elder Qianxu reminded.

“So that’s how it is, thank you, Elder Qianxu,” Zhou Chan said with a smile, expressing her gratitude.

Afterward, she left with Zhao Qingxue.

Elder Qianxu just shook her head and didn’t pay any further attention.

After leaving, Zhao Qingxue gratefully said:

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

“No worries, I’ll talk to the people over there when the time comes. It’s August now, so there should be half a year left.”

Zhou Chan shook her head to indicate it was no big deal, and then after a moment of thought, she added, “If he can’t advance to the second level of Qi Refining in the fourth year, he’ll be out of options. The master of Duanqing Cliff is one of the twelve main branch leaders, just like my master. Disciples like us can’t even get an audience with him. Let alone ask for his help.”

Zhao Qingxue nodded; after that, it was all up to Lin Zhi.
