: No Martial Morality!

The news that Qingyangzi had been beaten to a pulp spread throughout the entire Cangxuan Realm in just three days.

It is said that he was carried back to the Qinglan Sect, his arms were swollen like his thighs, and he was unconscious for three days before waking up.

The first thing I said when I woke up was:

"The ruthless butcher has no martial ethics."

When this reached the demonic path, Li Tu was immediately amused:

"Talk about martial ethics? Five hundred men blocked my door and cursed me for four days, and now you want to talk to me about martial ethics?"

Inside the Yuanji Hall, several people were laughing together.

Ying Wudi laughed the loudest:

"Serves him right! Let him pretend! And he even put on a martial arts performance to entertain us, what a load of crap!"

A cold laugh drifted over there, a chilling sneer adding insult to injury:

"I heard that the Qinglan Sect is now closed to visitors, and even Elder Qingyangzi is too ashamed to hold a meeting."

Yun Zhongling stood beside him and laughed along, but his laughter didn't seem very natural.

He was summoned by Chu Yuan. Not only him, but also Mu Qinxin from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Wei Zhixing, Qianji's disciple, and several young disciples selected from various demonic sects.

A dozen or so people stood in the hall, wondering what the Demon Lord was planning.

Chu Yuan sat on the high seat, waiting for them to finish laughing before slowly speaking:

"Finished laughing?"

The room immediately fell silent.

Chu Yuan looked at Qianji.

Qianji stepped forward and cleared his throat:

"Gentlemen, laughter aside, there's something I need to make clear. Although Qingyangzi has suffered a defeat this time, the righteous path won't let it go easily. According to reliable sources, the Tianyi Sect is already contacting various factions to form some kind of 'righteous path alliance'."

Ying Wudi sneered:

"An alliance? When are they ever not in an alliance?"

"This time is different."

Qianji said calmly:

"They don't want to fight, they want to defend themselves. They want to defend themselves from us integrating the demonic path and then turning around to deal with them."

Chu Yuan leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest, and remained silent.

Qianji continued:

Instead of letting them guess and defend aimlessly, let's take the initiative.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the young disciples present:

"Send some people to infiltrate the various righteous sects."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Ying Wudi was the first to react:

"An undercover agent?"

"right."

Qianji nodded:

"But not the kind of undercover agent you see before. No stealing techniques, no sabotage, just two things."

"First, gather information to see what their attitude is, whether they really want to fight, or just want to protect themselves."

"Second, spread the cult leader's doctrine of 'even demons have their own code'."

He looked at Chu Yuan:

"The words the leader spoke at the Water Moon Sect and at the White Bone Hall were all altered versions heard by the righteous path. They need to hear the original version."

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

That's an interesting idea.

Li Tu scratched his head:

"Send them to deliver the message? That would take forever!"

"We're not letting them spread it."

A thousand machines shook their heads:

"It's to let the disciples of the various righteous sects discuss and ponder it themselves."

"After our people go in, they can cultivate as they please, chat as they please, and occasionally 'accidentally' let slip a few things. For example, 'I heard the Demon Lord said that demons are not evil; it is those who indiscriminately kill the innocent who are evil.'"

"As more people talk about it and more people listen, the story spreads."

Li Tu still didn't quite understand:

"What's the use of that?"

Qianji glanced at him as if he were a fool:

"Why did Qingyangzi dare to block our door and curse for four days? Because he thinks the demonic path is evil and deserves to be beaten to death. But if his disciples hear this and think, 'The Demon Lord isn't so bad after all,' do you think he'll still be able to make people cheer next time?"

Li Tu froze for a few seconds, then slapped his thigh:

"Oh! I get it! This is poaching!"

Chu Yuan's lips twitched.

"Stealing someone's time" sounds so awkward.

But that's the principle.

He sat up straight and glanced at the young disciples:

"Alright, let's do as Qianji says."

The disciples below immediately straightened their backs.

Chu Yuan began calling roll:

"Yun Zhongling".

"exist!"

"Take Mu Qinxin to Hundred Flowers Valley."

Yun Zhongling was taken aback:

"Valley of Flowers?"

"right."

Chu Yuan said calmly:

"Hundred Flowers Valley was just tricked by Sun Yan, and now Valley Master Mo Yurou is suspicious of everyone. Go and say you admire Hundred Flowers Valley's techniques and want to become its disciples. Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and Hundred Flowers Valley have no direct enmity, so they won't be too wary."

Mu Qinxin blinked and whispered:

"Demon Lord, how do we get in? Hundred Flowers Valley is very strict about admitting people."

Chu Yuan glanced at her:

"I'll speak to Mo Yurou, and besides, the young master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect personally went to ask to become his disciple, how could they refuse?"

Mu Qinxin choked.

Yun Zhongling was also stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

This is a perfectly legitimate way to go!

It wasn't a clandestine undercover operation; it was an open and aboveboard pursuit of knowledge!

Chu Yuan continued:

"Once you're inside, study what you need to study, play what you need to play, and don't cause trouble. The only thing you need to do is find an opportunity to spread the 'even demons have their code' nonsense. Don't do it intentionally, just treat it as casual conversation."

Yun Zhongling nodded:

"Understood."

Chu Yuan then looked at Wei Zhixing.

Wei Zhixing immediately straightened his chest, his eyes resolute, looking as if he was ready to die.

Chu Yuan's lips twitched:

What are you doing?

Wei Zhixing:

"Your subordinate is ready! We will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Chu Yuan:

"...You're going to the Lingxiao Sect. Not to risk your life, but to study. Don't waste your cleverness."

He knew this group of disciples.

He is Qianji's apprentice and is very clever.

The previous rumors were all orchestrated by this guy.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, this guy was practically a master at running a pyramid scheme!

Wei Zhixing was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled:

"Understood, understood! I will certainly handle the matter well!"

Chu Yuan then named several more people from various sects and factions, making clear arrangements for them.

Chu Yuan didn't give them time to think, and stood up:

"Everyone, that's all. We're leaving tomorrow."

The group accepted the order and filed out.

Yun Zhongling was the last to leave. As he reached the door, he suddenly heard Chu Yuan's voice:

"You stay."

Yun Zhongling was taken aback, then turned around and came back.

The palace doors closed.

Chu Yuan sat on the high seat, looking at him.

Yun Zhongling felt a little uneasy, wondering what the sect leader was planning.

"Mo Yurou, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers, is a cautious person, but she was just tricked by Sun Yan, so she is suspicious right now. The more open and honest you are, the less suspicious she will be."

Chu Yuan took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and tossed it to Yun Zhongling:

"Take this. If you encounter something you can't solve, crush it."

Yun Zhongling took the jade pendant, looked down at it, and saw that it was ordinary and nothing special.

But he knew that what the cult leader gave him was definitely not ordinary.

He knelt on one knee and solemnly clasped his hands in greeting:

"Your subordinate will not fail in your mission!"

Chu Yuan waved his hand: "Go."

Watching Yun Zhongling's retreating figure, Chu Yuan used the True Eye of Truth Once Again.

It's golden.

This suggests that there should have been considerable gains this time.

only.....

I hope it's not related to cultivation level...

Yun Zhongling stood up and strode out of the palace gate.

Outside the hall, Mu Qinxin was waiting for him.

Seeing him come out, Mu Qinxin leaned closer and whispered:

"What did the cult leader say to you?"

Yun Zhongling glanced at her:

"Keep an eye on you, don't cause trouble."

Mu Qinxin pouted:

"Tch, what trouble have I gotten myself into?"

The two talked as they walked, disappearing into the night.

In the Yuanji Palace.

Chu Yuan leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

Youyue emerged from the shadows and whispered:

"Master, isn't it too risky for you to send Yun Yao with the clone to the Heavenly Dao Sect? After all, she is..."

"I know," Chu Yuan interrupted her, "that's why I need to bring it."

Youyue was taken aback.

Chu Yuan smiled slightly: "It's better to keep her under my nose than to let her run around outside. Besides, with her around, who can touch my clone?"

Youyue thought about it and realized... that seemed to be the case.

That's the tribulation stage.

In the entire Cangxuan Realm, how many people can defeat her?
