Chapter 697: Chapter 393: The Demon Sect’s Hideout

Qin Yuesheng withdrew his hand, and the other person instantly foamed at the mouth, saying helplessly, “I am the envoy sent by the Demon Sect to unite with the half-demons. The Elders of our sect sent me to collaborate with the half-demons and jointly discuss the great matter of occupying the Central Plains. This time, I am in charge of the Shark Race.”

“How is the progress?” Qin Yuesheng asked.

“The Shark Race utterly despises the Human Race. Although I do not know the specific reason, our Demon Sect shares the same ideology with them to some extent. I have initially established a cooperative relationship with the Shark Race on behalf of the Demon Sect. Our people will gradually come here to establish a branch of the Demon Sect.”

Qin Yuesheng looked at him and said, “While the Human Race is trying everything to eliminate the half-demons, you have the nerve to ally with them from the inside out. Truly, your Demon Sect is despicable.”

At that moment, Qin Yuesheng already added the Demon Sect to the list of those that needed to be eradicated.

The half-demons must be eliminated.

The Demon Sect also must be eliminated.

Suddenly, he struck the man with a fierce slap, causing his head to burst open instantly, with brain matter splattering everywhere.

Looking at the man’s corpse, Qin Yuesheng then threw a knife, slaying all the Sharks present, leaving them utterly powerless to resist.

In less than the time of half a stick of incense, all the Shark Race on this island were eliminated by Qin Yuesheng, turning it into a desolate island of death.

…

Blood Shark Islands is the largest gathering place for the Shark Race in the East Sea. Each island houses Shark Race half-demons, and the central main island is the residence of the Demon King of the Shark Race.

“O King, something terrible has happened! O King, something terrible has happened!”

A Shark Race half-demon, covered in fresh blood and holding a short knife, hurriedly ran into the palace, where a towering black-skinned Shark Race half-demon was seated at the center of the grand hall. His stature was akin to an iron tower, with muscles as hard as steel, clearly far superior to ordinary Shark Race half-demons.

“What happened?” The Demon King of Shark Race asked coldly, frowning.

Since the Shark Race occupied this sea area, frequent conflicts with cultivators happened, but never such an incident where a formidable enemy appeared at their doorstep.

“O King, a Human Race individual has intruded outside. He is immensely powerful and has killed many of our clansmen,” said the blood-soaked Shark Race half-demon anxiously.

“What?” The Demon King of Shark Race immediately became furious, grabbed the giant hammer next to the chair, and rushed outside, intending to smash that person.

But before he exited the palace, a figure swiftly attacked, landing a precise punch on the Demon King’s chest, sending him flying.

Although the physique of the Shark Race Demon King far exceeded ordinary half-demons, he couldn’t withstand the single punch. His entire chest caved instantly; hit at the chest, the Demon King was evidently doomed.

“Who the hell are you?!” The palace half-demon guards all picked up weapons and charged at Qin Yuesheng.

Qin Yuesheng countered with a punch; the terrifying punch energy exploded, directly sending these half-demons flying, embedding them like minced meat in the walls, blood and flesh indistinguishable.

“It is a Human Race cultivator!” The rest of the half-demons angrily yelled upon seeing Qin Yuesheng.

But they were no match for Qin Yuesheng, and within moments were all slain, leaving no armor whole, blood flowing like rivers.

Qin Yuesheng searched the palace, quickly finding a hidden chamber beneath the ground.

Surprisingly, the chamber imprisoned numerous Humans, both men and women, all of whom were fishermen living along the East Sea’s edge. Over the past few months, they were captured by half-demons for breeding, enduring extreme misery.

Qin Yuesheng released all these innocent civilians, annihilating this Shark Race half-demon tribe entirely, leaving no bloodline behind.

“Benefactor, thank you so much.” On the shores of the island, the rescued fishermen all stood on the ship, bowing and thanking Qin Yuesheng. Without his salvation, they might never escape the half-demons’ clutches in their lives.

“No worries, we’re all part of the Human Race and should help each other. Hurry back now, be careful on your way. I will check the other half-demon territories,” Qin Yuesheng said.

“Goodbye, benefactor.” The group hurriedly swung the oars and quickly departed.

Watching the ship gradually disappear into the horizon, Qin Yuesheng then stood up, intending to proceed to the next half-demon territory.

The half-demon tribes in the East Sea are a grave threat. Without proper handling, they will surely wreak havoc in the future.

…

With Qin Yuesheng taking action, success was inevitable; no task was left unfinished.

In less than three days, all the half-demons in the East Sea were eradicated by him, leaving few remnants. When Qin Yuesheng returned to the Qin Sect in the East Sea, Master Huang An had already developed the sect flourishingly.

Besides the original town, they brought many civilians from farther away to settle here, thus increasing the Qin Sect’s talent potential.

After all, only with ample talent can a power grow stronger and more prosperous, harboring hope for the future.

Having arranged the East Sea’s Qin Sect almost completely, Qin Yuesheng poured his Inner Strength into several Masters here, allowing himself to claim their lives with a mere thought anytime he wished.

The East Sea, a place tainted by Immortal Blood, holds immense strategic significance. It must be guarded and controlled specially.

Currently, it has been entrusted to Master Huang Nan and others to manage the Qin Sect in the East Sea, but in the future, Qin Yuesheng plans to dispatch some of his trusted aides there.

…

Upon returning to the Qin Sect in the Central Plains, Qin Yuesheng immediately ordered his men to root out the Demon Sect’s forces. For years, the Demon Sect has been an enigma, with no one knowing where their Sect Leader hides or where their hidden base is located.

This situation has led many to wish to eradicate evil, but due to not being able to find the Demon Sect’s lair, the sect has survived until today.

With control over both the Qin Sect and the court’s power, and eyes everywhere across the Central Plains, finding the Demon Sect’s location is naturally not difficult for Qin Yuesheng.

Simultaneously, in places like Western Shu and the Northern Desert, Qin Sect’s influence has also started to intervene, achieving a state where Qin Sect is spread all over the world.

Amidst the mountains of Western Shu.

Wild geese fly by; a wolf stands atop a cliff howling, its sound echoing in all directions, quite startling.

In the next moment, a seam splits open on the wolf’s head, from which an arm stretches out, followed by a whole person.

This person’s entire body is ghastly white with bloodstains visible, skinny to the bone, utterly inhuman in appearance, extremely wretched.

“The righteous have hunted us too ruthlessly, forcing our sect into such a state,” the man sighed and said.

Under the joint capture efforts of the Qin Sect and the court, the Demon Sect has quietly migrated to Western Shu. With its mountainous terrain, Western Shu is ideal for hiding; once there, enemies find it hard to locate you. This is the thought process of the Demon Sect members.

Legend has it that Demon Sect members are cunning and hard to defend against. Seeing it today, it indeed seems true.

The person came to a large banyan tree, twisting a branch around with their hand.

Suddenly, a sound of “crack” as the banyan tree slowly splits open, revealing a gap large enough for a person to enter, quite magical.

At the moment the gap appeared, a glint of cold light thrust out, targeting the person’s throat, only two or three inches from the skin. A little further and it could easily pierce the throat, taking their life.

“Code word.”

“I wish to traverse the four seas.”

“Then do you wish to command the winds and rains?”

“This is the wish of the Sect Leader.”

After answering the code, the person put away the blade, stepping aside to signal the other to enter.

The pale man hugged his arms and walked inside the tree. Each time coming to this place is extremely dangerous because the entire world’s forces are seeking connections to the Demon Sect. Nowadays, everyone in the Demon Sect is on edge; they are basically shouted down and hunted by everyone in the martial world. Thus, each member cannot expose their identity to avoid capture and implicating the sect.

This tree serves as a critical stronghold of the Demon Sect, with many demon sect experts guarding the entrance to prevent outsiders from infiltrating.

The deeper the pale man walked inside, the more his body couldn’t help but tremble.

His name is Ye Can, originally a child from an ordinary family, taken over ten years ago as a disciple by a beast-maker. After learning beast-making skills for a few years with his master, Ye Can turned and joined the Demon Sect, muddle-headedly becoming a member.

But unlike the cruel and savage members of the Demon Sect, Ye Can only liked making money, even though his means were not very proper, so over the years, he hadn’t engaged in any harmful activities.

In secret, many gazes were watching Ye Can, who appeared very timid.

If Ye Can acted timid, it would draw less attention from these people.

As he walked, Ye Can’s mind conjured up the words those people said to him before he came.

“Lead us to the Demon Sect base and you shall be spared your life; if you don’t, your whole family will die.”

“Eradicate the Demon Sect, and you’ll be the head contributor. Your choice is up to you.”

Considering those people’s power and status, Ye Can found no room for refusal.

Hence, he could only choose to betray the Demon Sect, attempting to save himself and his family’s life.

Ye Can ventured deeper underground, a place he had visited before. No one noticed that on his body, a Jade Scroll was emitting a dim glow, a communication tool in one pair of crafted artifacts. Anyone holding the other Jade Scroll could use it to locate this one’s position, thus finding the hidden place of the Demon Sect and capturing them all at once.

Upon reaching the underground depths, Ye Can saw that it was a grand hall, illuminated by torches around it, appearing eerie and gloomy, very dark.

Meanwhile, a hundred zhang away outside the large tree, a group of cultivators dressed in Qin Sect attire lay in wait, led by one holding a brightly glowing Jade Scroll in their hand.

As the light grew brighter, this person smiled, saying, “Found it, prepare to strike.”
