300: Chapter 300 Shameless Enough

"Why kidnap Su Lianxue?"

Lin Ming asked.

"The vice-leader didn't say, but it seems to involve a deal."

Su Xu said.

A deal?

A deal with the Shangji Sect?

Lin Ming suspected that the ones making deals with these demons were likely the Shangji Sect.

Currently, aside from the Shangji Sect, no other power had shown any interest in his Junior Sister.

However, he couldn't be entirely certain; after all, it was just a conjecture.

There was no concrete evidence yet.

Lin Ming was somewhat disappointed with the snake before him; as a demon cultivator of the Nirvana Realm 6th Heaven, he should have known something.

Yet, he acted no differently from a common thug.

He knew a bit, but not much.

"Are you currently in contact with the Demonic Path?"

Lin Ming asked.

Creating chaos?

Just creating chaos?

Or was it cooperation with the Demonic Path?

"Yes, but it's always the vice-leader who handles the contact."

Su Xu said.

Ever since their leader was schemed against and killed by the Human Race, they had severed all ties with the Demonic Path. They looked down on humans and wouldn't have cooperated with them if not for their leader's orders.

It was only after the vice-leader appeared that they began collaborating with these humans again.

However, the vice-leader handled all the negotiations; they didn't want to deal with such treacherous humans.

The vice-leader, it was that vice-leader again.

Lin Ming couldn't be bothered to ask more; any further questions would likely lead back to the vice-leader, and he wouldn't get a straight answer. He knocked him unconscious and sealed him, giving him the same treatment as Bai Cheng.

He would spare his life for now; it might be useful later.

...

The group took turns controlling the spirit boat at top speed, heading all the way back to the Yongzhen Sect.

During the journey, many were on edge, constantly watching for any more demons that might come after them.

It wasn't until they entered the territory of the Yongzhen Sect that they relaxed slightly.

Once back at the Yongzhen Sect, their hearts finally settled.

The news of the demon attack was quickly reported to the Yongzhen Sect authorities.

Inside the Sect's main hall.

Lin Ming and the others also met the Sect Master of the Yongzhen Sect, Sect Master Wan Chuan.

"These demons have conspired with the Demonic Path once again."

An Elder said coldly.

"We should have wiped out those demons back then."

Another Elder said in a heavy voice.

After dealing with Jin Ting, there had been various opinions on how to handle the demons of the Holy Demon Alliance.

Some suggested exterminating every last demon of the Holy Demon Alliance.

Others argued for executing only the ringleaders and leaving the rest as training for the Disciples.

There were all sorts of proposals.

In the end, however, the matter was left to the Yao Race to handle themselves.

The Yao Race only killed a few demons and ignored the rest.

It made sense; many demons in the Holy Demon Alliance came from these great clans. Even if they had fallen into the Demonic Path, they still shared the same Bloodline, so how could the clans bring themselves to kill them?

After all, these Yao Race members valued Bloodline immensely.

Seeing this, the Human Race powers merely issued bounties on the Holy Demon Alliance.

"It's not just the Shangji Sect; many Sects have been attacked in recent days."

Sect Master Wan Chuan said solemnly.

At almost the same time, the Yongzhen Sect's territory was also attacked by people from the Demonic Path.

However, they only harassed the area, leaving quickly after causing minor casualties; even when they encountered Yongzhen Sect Disciples, they didn't engage for long.

Not only that, but the Yongzhen Sect had also received intelligence and pleas for help from other Sects.

These pleas for help arose because of the Demonic Path.

"Is the Demonic Gate going to war?"

Bai Qing said in a low voice.

Was the Demonic Gate's behavior a sign of an all-out war?

"Furthermore..."

Sect Master Wan Chuan was about to say something but suddenly paused, his gaze shifting toward the door.

Some Elders also seemed to sense something and looked toward the door together.

They're back.

The corners of Lin Ming's mouth curled up slightly.

Elder Mu Shan and Peak Master Zhao Wuhai walked into the hall together.

"It's good that you're all right."

Elder Mu Shan nodded upon seeing that Lin Ming and the others were unharmed.

She had feared the enemy would send more experts after pinning them down.

"We were saved by a mysterious expert."

Lin Ming spoke first.

"As long as you're safe."

Peak Master Zhao Wuhai said.

This mysterious expert must be the Junior Martial Uncle.

It was normal for Lin Ming and the others not to recognize the Junior Martial Uncle; after all, he had been in secluded cultivation within the Sect for many years, and some of the younger Disciples didn't even know he existed.

However, the Junior Martial Uncle wasn't here now; could he still be fighting the enemy?

Had the other side deployed a Nirvana Realm demon?

"We are also aware of the Blood Nether Miasma matter."

Sect Master Wan Chuan glanced at the two and nodded.

"Senior Brother, we must not let the Blood Nether Miasma spread any further."

Elder Mu Shan said.

"Junior Sister, you are still too impatient."

Sect Master Wan Chuan looked at Elder Mu Shan and said.

This Junior Sister of his was just too hasty sometimes, not even waiting for him to finish.

"The Shangji Sect has announced that they have developed an antidote for the Blood Nether Miasma and have cured everyone within their borders."

?

Lin Ming was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

He wondered if he had misheard.

"Is that true?"

Elder Mu Shan's first reaction was disbelief.

She had experienced it firsthand; the Shangji Sect had seemed completely helpless against it at the time.

"This matter has already been verified."

Sect Master Wan Chuan said.

He naturally wouldn't believe the information spread by the Shangji Sect for no reason; it had certainly been verified.

He hadn't expected the Shangji Sect to be able to crack the Blood Nether Miasma, especially since even those few individuals had no solution.

"They certainly hid it for a long time."

Elder Mu Shan said.

They didn't act to resolve it while she was at the Shangji Sect, but waited until after they left.

Was it intentional?

As expected of a great Sect.

Lin Ming's opinion of the Shangji Sect went up another notch.

They truly were shameless enough.

He was clearly the one who had neutralized the Blood Nether Miasma, yet in their words, it became their achievement.

Were they really not afraid that he would come knocking on their door for a proper exchange?

"However, this time, we cannot let things end so easily."

Sect Master Wan Chuan said calmly.

With these demonic gates' repeated provocations, they couldn't just pretend they didn't see anything.

Is a fight going to break out?

Everyone also sensed a different meaning in Sect Master Wan Chuan's words.

"You all should rest well before returning to Yuanxu Mountain."

Sect Master Wan Chuan looked at the people from Yuanxu Mountain and said.

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Head Wan."

Peak Master Zhao Wuhai said with a serious expression.

Although Sect Master Wan Chuan didn't say it explicitly, Peak Master Zhao Wuhai roughly understood his meaning.

Sect Master Wan Chuan nodded slightly and then left the main hall.
