101: Chapter 101 Shen Bingyao's Secret Visit, Divine Demon Core

As the news of the Heavenly Demon Sect harboring a Treasure Trove Secret Realm continued to ferment, it immediately attracted countless gazes.

In an instant, the winds shifted from all directions, and the masses rose to display their power.

"Behind this slaughter filled with the aura of death, what kind of old demons and old monsters will appear?"

Gu Qingge felt that after this Secret Realm was exposed, it would trigger a series of chain reactions.

The Nascent Soul Stage might inevitably be the most cutting-edge combat power, but it was definitely not the Peak.

Even those in the Soul Transformation Stage, or even above the Soul Transformation Stage, might enter the game themselves.

"Employing good strategies to overcome calamities, relying solely on slaughter to quell chaos."

The mighty momentum of the various sects was as magnificent as a raging flame.

Clearly, they had managed to take control of the situation.

Cultivators from some small sects, and even the Loose Cultivators who arrived upon hearing the news, were not enough to pose a threat to them.

After leading his subordinates to arrive near the Heavenly Demon Sect, Gu Qingge set up camp on the spot, intending to meet all changes with constancy.

"Sect Master, someone outside requests an audience."

"Who is it?"

"The person announced their name as Shen Bingyao from the Holy Spirit Sect."

"Oh? Is it her?"

Gu Qingge immediately thought of Shen Bingyao, whom he had met at the Pill Emperor Secret Realm.

For the sake of better controlling the future situation, he had even concluded a Heart Demon contract with her, making her an inside agent.

He thought that if there was a use for her in the future, she could have a decisive effect in overturning the situation.

Moreover, behind her stood an Old Ancestor at the Half-step Deity Transformation Stage.

This was also the reason why Gu Qingge had spared her life after careful consideration back then.

Otherwise, beauty alone would not be enough to spare her life.

In the face of deadly danger, her name would surely be in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"Show her in," Gu Qingge instructed.

Before long, Shen Bingyao's slender figure walked into the tent.

With cloud-like hair and a flower-like face, her black hair fell softly like a waterfall of snow.

Her graceful and exquisite figure held a desire as deep as an abyss, making it hard to calm down, and also possessed an aura as tempting as a peach in spring.

That touch of peerless, enchanting beauty was revealed quietly and without effort.

"I never thought you would actually raise the banner of the Heavenly Demon Sect; it truly surprises Yao'er."

Shen Bingyao's tone revealed a hint of disbelief.

She had not expected that Gu Qingge would be able to hoist the banner of the Heavenly Demon Sect, which had already fallen into such disrepair.

One must know that the previous Heavenly Demon Sect had already been destroyed by eight or nine tenths.

Even the Sect Master, Min Qingrou, had been injured and captured by the Sect Master of the Qingxuan Sect.

However, according to some circulating rumors, although the other party was heartbroken, the rescue by the man before her, who was moved by her beauty, directly changed the situation for a time.

"Slaughtering Golden Core Cultivators, butchering Nascent Soul Cultivators, Brother Gu is truly spirited and possesses extraordinary talent," Shen Bingyao praised.

"Why have you come this time? If I remember correctly, I intended for you to be a hidden chess piece, not to appear publicly before the world."

"I came here, of course, because it is beneficial for you, Brother Gu."

"Besides, you don't think that what happened back then could be hidden from my Old Ancestor, do you?"

Gu Qingge shook his head noncommittally.

In truth, with the improvement of his cultivation Realm, the role that the chess piece Shen Bingyao could play would become negligible.

Now it seemed that if he could achieve a further Breakthrough in his strength and Realm, Shen Bingyao's role would be dispensable.

"What exactly does this 'benefit' you speak of represent?"

"The Righteous Alliance wants to make things difficult for you."

"Because they feel that you must have learned the secret regarding that Secret Realm and want to capture you to force the relevant information out of you."

"At the same time, they also want to torture you to find out the whereabouts of Min Qingrou."

"I know you are truly not afraid of the Nascent Soul Stage, but this time, the Righteous Alliance has dispatched two Half-step Deity Transformation Stage experts."

"Two Half-step Deity Transformation Stage experts?" Gu Qingge fell into deep thought.

Facing experts of this level, he would have to use all his trump cards and would be unable to instantly crush and suppress them.

The Half-step Deity Transformation Stage and a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage are as different as clouds and mud.

Between the two, one can truly say that summer insects cannot speak of ice.

"This is… the Book of Desiring Beauty and Death?"

Gu Qingge felt he had misread it.

But after looking carefully, he realized he hadn't misread it.

"Where on earth did you get this thing?"

"Giggle! I luckily obtained it from a Secret Realm before. For this, I even sacrificed two Golden Core Stage guards."

This thing was like Pandora's box; once it took shape, it would trigger infinite chaos.

"Since you have such a treasure, why would you bring it out publicly? Aren't you afraid of it being snatched away?" Gu Qingge asked.

He believed that Shen Bingyao was not a foolish woman.

Otherwise, she would not be calculating every step and planning far ahead.

And now, she appeared here.

Behind it must be some special significance.

It was just that he could not see this special significance clearly right now.

"I need Souls."

"And not just one or two, but a great many."

"Hmm?"

"As an essential initial condition for opening the Book of Desiring Beauty and Death, at least 999 Souls are needed as a medium to truly awaken it."

"But because of my special status, I cannot directly make a move against them."

"So, I came here this time hoping to use your hands to help me collect Souls."

"Why me?"

"Because you are a Demonic Cultivator!"

"Besides, among all the people I have met in my life, only you are the most suitable candidate for this task."

"Just think, they have long regarded you as an enemy and are eager to get rid of you as quickly as possible."

"They want to kill you; are you just going to sit and wait for death? Don't you want to slaughter them all?"

"You will gain the admiration of a beautiful woman, who wishes to offer herself to repay your kindness."

"That is not enough."

"As for kindness? I do not need it. What I want is loyalty!"

"Tsk, how unromantic," Shen Bingyao pouted and said bluntly.

Relying on her charm to use a beauty trap, she was still unable to bewitch the mind of the man before her.

It seems she still needs to practice diligently in this area.

"I have three Divine Demon Origin Pills here." Shen Bingyao seemed to have grasped his weak point and did not believe he would refuse.

"Divine Demon Origin Pills? You actually have this thing?"

Gu Qingge's heart, which had originally wanted to refuse, instantly became active again!

According to his original intention, even if he slaughtered all the people in the Righteous Alliance, he would first fill the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to enhance his own strength, rather than using it to curry favor with Shen Bingyao.

But after seeing the price offered by the other party, his heart was instantly attracted.

The Divine Demon Origin Pill is much the same as the reward Demonic Pill provided by the System that Gu Qingge had taken before.

They are all Medicinal Pills that replenish Devilish Qi, increase one's own Devilish Qi reserves, and consolidate one's Foundation.

But relatively speaking, the Demonic Pills provided by the System contain pure Devilish Qi without the complex and negative substances, more like a pure grade with Impurities stripped away.

The Divine Demon Origin Pills refined by human hands, however, contain vast, specific substances.

However, overall, the attraction of the Divine Demon Origin Pill to Gu Qingge was enough to make him exert effort to collect Souls for Shen Bingyao and open the Book of Desiring Beauty and Death.

"I agree to this matter," Gu Qingge said without hesitation.
