Chapter 825 The True Purpose of the Evil Spirit Sect (Please Subscribe)_1

Once they had left the group of Xieling Sect Disciples, Shangguan Lin looked at Xu Sheng with a face full of shock and asked confusedly, "Master, did I hear that wrong just now? Did they call you 'Elder'?"

Xu Sheng glanced at her and said, "You didn't hear wrong. After I killed Mei Li, the Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect already knew and had me take Mei Li's place!"

Shangguan Lin suddenly had a realization, "No wonder you said you wanted to stay in the Evil Spirit Sect before. So that's what you meant!"

Her tone then changed to one that was filled with grievance as she said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"

She had thought that only the Elders and the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect had let them go, but she had not expected that they would even have Xu Sheng become an Elder of the Evil Spirit Sect!

Just then, a cold voice echoed in Xu Sheng's mind, "All the Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect are to come to my palace immediately!"

Without a doubt, someone had used a rather unique Martial Technique to deliver the message to Xu Sheng with precision!

Seeing Xu Sheng looking somewhat dazed, Shangguan Lin waved her hand in front of his eyes a couple of times and asked with confusion, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Sheng quickly snapped out of it and casually said, "The Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect has summoned all Elders to his room!"

Shangguan Lin pursed her lips and asked softly, "Then what about me when you go, Master???"

Xu Sheng, uncharacteristically, gave her a dismissive look and said indifferently, "Stay wherever it's cool. You're not a child!"

After he spoke, before she could say anything else, Xu Sheng had already vanished from the spot...

Only after Xu Sheng left did she pout and say, "Hmph, who wants to be with you anyway. If it wasn't for your greater strength and somewhat more handsome face..."

"Ptui! If it weren't for the fact that you control my life and death, I wouldn't want to bother with you at all!"

Inside the palace, apart from the skull-masked Sect Master of the Xie Ling Sect, all the other Elders looked at Xu Sheng with curious gazes.

They all clearly wanted to see what the disciple who had killed Mei Li looked like.

However, when they clearly saw that Xu Sheng was rather young, their faces showed some disdain...

The atmosphere in the entire space became incredibly oppressive, and Xu Sheng just smiled faintly as he looked at the other Elders...

He said softly, "Honored Elders, if you are staring at me like that, is there something you wish to discuss?"

Immediately afterward, the Spirit Force Fluctuation characteristic of the Mahayana Realm burst forth violently...

The tremendous pressure enveloped the entire room, and upon feeling this power, the faces of the other Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect all filled with shock...

Each one of them harbored different thoughts in their hearts...

"He has actually reached the Cultivation Level of the Mahayana Realm. No wonder he was able to kill Mei Li!"

"I'm afraid that, apart from the Sect Master, none of us present could match him!"

"Too terrifying. Such a young age yet he has reached the Divinity Transformation Stage, and he's not the slightest bit weaker than the disciples from that place!"

In front of the stunned expressions from the crowd below, the skull-masked man in the chief seat coldly said, "I presume now none of you have any objections to his identity?"

After the words fell, an Elder with a full face of wrinkles and a somewhat feeble appearance was the first to nod and say, "I have no objections!"

Seeing this, the other Elders also began to express their positions, one after another, "I have no objections either! Elder Mei Li initiated the attack and was eliminated. It's only her own recklessness to blame!"

"That's right, having one more strong practitioner in the Mahayana Realm will indeed add strength to our plan!"

"I also have no objections!"

In an instant, all of the Elders reached a consensus...

But Xu Sheng could hear another meaning hidden within their words...

It seemed that the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect was covertly inquiring about his name, likely wanting to avoid some trouble.

Xu Sheng spoke calmly, "Sect Master, and all Elders, you may simply call me Xu Sheng."

Upon hearing this, the eyes hidden within the skull mask of the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect showed a hint of admiration...

Then, he spoke in a cold voice, "Now that Xu Sheng has officially become an elder of the Evil Spirit Sect, he also has the right to know the true purpose of our sect!"

In an instant, the faces of the other elders turned solemn, clearly indicating that what was about to be said was no small matter...

Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes as well, waiting for what would come next...

He had always known that the Evil Spirit Sect must have its own agenda, but he was unclear about the specifics!

Seeing that Xu Sheng's expression did not change, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect continued, "In truth, this Evil Spirit Sect, which I and the other elders have established in collaboration, is nominally a pure demon cultivator sect, but in reality, it is a slaughterhouse that raises beasts! All those disciples are nothing but offerings!"

"Seven days from now, on the rare night of the full moon, it happens to be when we will sacrifice all the disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect. If we can succeed, our cultivation levels could undergo a qualitative breakthrough!"

Even he himself might be able to break through to a realm above the Mahayana Realm within his lifetime!

Xu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, pondering, "I see..."

Sacrificing all the disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect? If it was beneficial to him, he did not mind intervening!

If it meant a significant improvement in his cultivation level, he might be able to break the seal within his body sooner!

As for those disciples who had joined the Evil Spirit Sect, they had made their choice to join a demon cultivator sect, and whether they lived or died was up to fate!

As he was lost in thought, the words of the Elder of the Evil Spirit Sect became grave once more, "However, before that, we must successfully fend off attacks from the other sects! Otherwise, all will be for naught."

Facing the onslaught of multiple sects, even he was not absolutely confident of victory!

Moreover, if too many disciples of the Evil Spirit Sect were lost, it would not achieve the purpose of the sacrifice!

Meeting these two conditions was not so simple!

The other Elders of the Evil Spirit Sect spoke up one after another, "Sect Master, with you and Elder Xu, two Mahayana Realm elders here, victory is not impossible!"

"That's right! Although the strength of the other sects is formidable, their highest combat power is only below the third layer of the Mahayana Realm, and you alone could annihilate them!"

"As long as you can stop the masters of the other sects, with Elder Xu's strength, we should be able to quickly deal with those Sect Disciples!"

After listening to their words, the Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Sect looked toward Xu Sheng, who had remained silent throughout, "Elder Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Sheng glanced casually at the elders and said, "I think what the elders said makes sense!"

"..."

...

At this moment, the masters of the Four Great Sects—Tian Gang, Giant Sword, Wind Thunder, and Azure Luan—had gathered together!

All the sect masters were clad in robes that highlighted their ethereal aura, resembling unparalleled experts!

Suddenly, the Sect Master of the Tian Gang Sect slammed the table, his face full of anger, "Damn it, this Evil Spirit Sect is too arrogant! They dare to be so disrespectful toward us!"

The Sect Master of the Giant Sword Sect also expressed his indignation, "That's right, it's bad enough that they sent Xieling Sect Disciples to cause trouble, but even after knowing that the Four Great Sects have joined forces, they did not show the slightest restraint! They must be annihilated to quell the resentment in our hearts!"

Upon hearing this, the Qing Luan Sect Master revealed an elegant smile, softly consoling, "My fellow Sect Masters, please calm down. The Evil Spirit Sect will not be jumping around for much longer!"

The Feng Lei Sect Master seemed to hear great confidence in those words and narrowed his eyes, "Then, may I know what suggestions the Qing Luan Sect Master has for this plan?"
