118: The Gate of Sacrifice (Immortal Artifact)!

Su Changqing followed behind Yuan Qiushui, and a group of Elders also came out to greet him. Before long, he saw Li Muxi's figure.

Today, Li Muxi wore an extremely thin purple bra under a white plum blossom cicada wing gauze. Her beautiful Face made people salivate. Seeing Su Changqing arrive, her intelligent eyes blinked at Su Changqing, her lips slightly licked, and her Face was filled with uncontrollable smiles.

Revered Master actually came to Charm Demon Sect in person!

This filled Li Muxi with both surprise and joy.

Soon, Su Changqing entered the main hall, and Yuan Qiushui, Li Muxi, and a group of Elders followed.

"Su Shengzi's esteemed presence honors my Charm Demon Sect. May I ask what brings Su Shengzi to my Charm Demon Sect?"

Yuan Qiushui asked straightforwardly.

Su Changqing smiled slightly upon hearing this:

"I have come to help Sect Leader Yuan and the Charm Demon Sect resolve a crisis of Sect annihilation."

Hmm!?

Hearing Su Changqing's words, everyone present was stunned, looking at Su Changqing with a bewildered expression.

"Su Shengzi must be joking. My Charm Demon Sect has never offended any force, so how could there be a crisis of Sect annihilation?"

Yuan Qiushui asked, feeling a sense of absurdity. Although Charm Demon Sect was not a Holy Land, it was still a first-rate Sect force, occupying a central region, with Disciples spread across the Heavenly Martial Continent, and an extremely strong intelligence network. How could there be a crisis of Sect annihilation?

The group of Elders also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, my Charm Demon Sect has always prioritized peace, so how could we offend anyone?"

"That's right, Su Shengzi is being too serious, isn't he?"

"........"

Most of Charm Demon Sect's focus was on operating brothels and restaurants. In terms of intelligence sources and economics, they indeed rarely offended people.

Su Changqing smiled lightly and said:

"What I'm talking about isn't offending people, but offending... ghosts."

Offending... ghosts?

What on earth??

Everyone looked confused. Su Changqing didn't hesitate and continued:

"The myriad races are about to descend upon the Heavenly Martial Continent, which I believe you all should be aware of. Before the myriad races descend, some top-tier great races send a portion of their elite vanguards into the Heavenly Martial Continent through special secret methods. First there were the Demon Race and Yao Race. As far as I know, the Ghost Race will also descend upon the Heavenly Martial Continent tomorrow, and their landing point will be near the Charm Demon Sect."

Upon hearing Su Changqing's words, the expressions of everyone present changed dramatically, becoming extremely grim.

Some Elders even trembled slightly.

Ghost Race?

One of the top races from ancient times, on par with the Yao Race and Demon Race, and extremely powerful.

Not long ago, the Demon Race descended upon the Yunlan Region and firmly controlled the Yunlan Sect.

If the Ghost Race were to descend near the Charm Demon Sect, then her Charm Demon Sect would be in big trouble. After all, the Charm Demon Sect's foundation was far inferior to that of a Holy Land, and it simply lacked the ability to resist a Saint Realm Expert.

"May I ask Su Shengzi, is this news true or false?"

Yuan Qiushui asked with a solemn expression.

Su Changqing smiled faintly:

"If you don't believe me, won't you know tomorrow?"

Yuan Qiushui's expression grew even uglier upon hearing this.

Looking at Su Changqing, he had no reason to deceive her.

Moreover, according to Su Changqing, tomorrow would be the day the Ghost Race descends, so even if he intended to deceive people, the truth would be revealed tomorrow.

Although she truly didn't want to believe all of this, her intuition told her that it should be true.

"Su Shengzi, if you can help my Charm Demon Sect resolve the Ghost Race issue, then... what price does my Charm Demon Sect need to pay?"

Yuan Qiushui asked cautiously.

Everything in the world has a price. Su Changqing traveled thousands of miles to the Charm Demon Sect to help them expel the Ghost Race, so he must have a purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss.

Su Changqing smiled and said:

"Sect Leader Yuan is indeed a smart person."

"My request is very simple: I want the Charm Demon Sect's loyalty."

A simple sentence instantly stunned all the Elders in the main hall. Everyone's expressions became extremely grim, of course, except for Li Muxi, who wished the entire Charm Demon Sect would submit to her Revered Master, so she wouldn't have to hide anything.

But Yuan Qiushui's expression darkened again upon hearing this, and she fell into deep thought.

No matter what, the Charm Demon Sect was a first-rate force, second only to a Holy Land, and its foundation was not simple. To pledge loyalty to Su Changqing just like that, it was somewhat difficult to save Face.

Furthermore, living under someone else's command was not easy.

Su Changqing looked at Yuan Qiushui with a smile, not urging her, slowly sipping his tea, and waiting leisurely.

In reality, the reason he knew about the Ghost Race appearing near the Charm Demon Sect was due to System Bro's prompt.

A day ago, Su Changqing was Cultivating when he suddenly heard System Bro's voice.

[Ding! Detected the Ghost Race appearing near the Charm Demon Sect in three days.]

[Option One: Annihilate the Ghost Race. Reward: Sacrificial Gate (Immortal Artifact)]

[Option Two: Stand by and do nothing. Reward: Ice Gauntlets (Emperor Weapon)]

With an Immortal Artifact and an Emperor Weapon, Su Changqing naturally chose option one decisively.

Sacrificial Gate, although he didn't know what this Immortal Artifact was or what its function was, it sounded like it was not simple.

As for what he just said about wanting the Charm Demon Sect's loyalty, it was just Su Changqing killing two birds with one stone, a spur-of-the-moment idea. Even if the Charm Demon Sect didn't pledge loyalty to him, he would still resolve the Ghost Race matter.

However... the Charm Demon Sect was currently in a dangerous situation, facing a crisis of Sect annihilation, making it highly likely they would seek refuge with Su Changqing.

Yuan Qiushui was in an internal struggle.

On one hand, she really didn't want to pledge allegiance to Su Changqing, as that would mean the Charm Demon Sect would no longer be under her control.

But on the other hand, if the Charm Demon Sect didn't seek refuge with Su Changqing, it might not survive for more than a few days.

After all, the Ghost Race had a formidable foundation, and her Charm Demon Sect was definitely no match for them.

Just then, Li Muxi, who had been silent, stood up and said:

"Revered Master, I think Su Shengzi's words make sense. Even if my Charm Demon Sect withstands the Ghost Race's attack, in just over two months, the myriad races will descend, and the world will fall into chaos. My Charm Demon Sect's situation will likely not be good either.

Tai Xuan Sect is a Holy Land, a top Human Race force. If we follow Su Shengzi, my Charm Demon Sect will only then have a chance to protect ourselves in this chaotic world."

As Su Changqing's most loyal maid, Li Muxi couldn't wait to submit immediately.

However, the Charm Demon Sect was currently under Yuan Qiushui's leadership. As the Saintess, she had not yet ascended to the position and had no decision-making power.

Nevertheless, her suggestion also received the approval of the Elders.

Leaning on a Holy Land, it was naturally good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

Yuan Qiushui pondered for a moment and made her decision.

"In that case, if Su Shengzi can truly resolve my Charm Demon Sect's predicament tomorrow, then from now on, my Charm Demon Sect is willing to pledge loyalty to Su Shengzi!"

Yuan Qiushui also saw the situation clearly.

Even if they didn't surrender now, when the myriad races descended in the future, the Charm Demon Sect would not fare well. It was better to seek refuge with Tai Xuan Sect.

Su Changqing's lips curled into a slight smile upon hearing this:

"Sect Leader Yuan, believe me, this is the most correct decision you've ever made in your life."
