Novel Full Chapter 570 - 570: Conspiracy in Heavenly Demon Sect
” Yo-You! You didn’t face any trials?” Qin Yuyue pursed her lips when she saw Jun Tianyun before her.
Jun Tianyun grinned as he shrugged, ” Well, the one who went for trial is you. Why would I face trials?”
Qin Yuyue didn’t find any fault in this argument, but she felt a slight sourness in her heart. After all, the trials in Heavenly Ascension Cave is simply life or death trials.
In three days, Qin Yuyue almost died five times. But she persisted till she reached the final room.
However, her eyes shone when Jun Tianyun handed her a pill. Without any hesitation, she took the pill and ate it.
” … That was poison?” Jun Tianyun raised his brows, making Qin Yuyue almost choke.
” Yo-You! Why are you joking like that!?” Qin Yuyue went into a rage, trying to punch Jun Tianyun.
Jun Tianyun raised his brows, ” What’s the joke in it? Why did you eat it without verifying if it’s truly a medicinal pill or poison?”
” I… I trust you.” Qin Yuyue suddenly replied with a soft voice.
” Because I am your fiancée?” Jun Tianyun asked with a teasing voice. However, Qin Yuyue nodded.
” That stinky taoist priest once came to the sect and saw my fortune. He revealed to me that I am bound to face a major disaster in my life. However, if I could meet my fiancé before it, I would naturally turn the disaster into a heavenly providence, and my destiny would soar.”
Jun Tianyun rubbed his chin, his eyes were slightly surprised. Qin Yuyue continued.
” Not to mention, you had many chances to kill me. And since you could force open the Heavenly Ascension Cave, that means you have a fate with Sun Moon Sacred Cult.”
” You believe in fate?” Jun Tianyun looked at Qin Yuyue as she nodded.
” They say every greater thing has its own destiny.” Qin Yuyue’s voice became serious, ” So many tried to gain from the Heavenly Ascension Cave, but almost none of them succeeded, dying in the process. How do you think the path filled with skeletons appeared?”
” Ehh? I thought it was decorations?” Jun Tianyun murmured, ” After all, a place like that is supposed to look spooky, right? How will it look spooky without some bones?”
Qin Yuyue was speechless as she really wished to beat Jun Tianyun. What kind of thought process is that?!
However, she suddenly felt a burst of heat from her stomach, making her startled. Jun Tianyun held her shoulders and made her sit down.
” Alright, you win. It’s a medicine. Now, sit down and circulate the energy through your meridians. The ancient qi in this cave is suitable for refining your body.”
” Using the medicinal energy and ancient qi, reach the Houtian Stage at once.”
Qin Yuyue closed her eyes as shen entered the meditative state. She heard Jun Tianyun’s words, slowly circulating her internal energy.
Suddenly, she felt like her energy was traveling in a unique way. It was as if her bloodline is resonating with it.
‘ Is this Heavenly Demon’s Energy Sutra? The legendary internal energy technique was only passed to the Cult Leader?’ Qin Yuyue was shocked, but didn’t resist.
It was unknown how much time passed, but her injuries recovered, and her bloodline refined, her flesh and bones tempered by the raging energy.

” Young Lord Song, don’t you think it’s impudence to enter the Dark Light Hall without permission?”
A man wearing a fox mask appeared, his eyes gleaming with the brilliance of a bright blue gem.
Song Mingwu appeared, with two people following him. He cupped his fist, ” Greetings, Third Elder.”
” Why have you come here at this time? Don’t you want me to get a few hours of sleep?” Third Elder, Blood Poison Hand, sneered, looking at the person behind Song Minwu.
” And you, Fifth Elder. Just because you don’t have anything to do other than being a lackey doesn’t mean everyone is free.”
Fifth Elder, Wang Erhu, had a bulky body, almost reaching 7ft. A broad sword rested on his back, giving him a fierce look.
” Hmph! Looks like your mouth is the only part that’s working. Why don’t you talk to my sword?” Wang Erhu sneered, not liking the tone of Blood Poison Hand at all.
” Elder Wang, I will not tolerate any bullshit in my premises.” Third Elder’s eyes turned cold as he raised his hand. A green aura condensed, giving everyone a strange chill.
Song Mingwu raised his hands, ” Calm down, Elder. We just came here to give you some information.”
” What information?”
” I am issuing the Thousand Demon Summon Plaque. Two days later, at the Rising Sun Pavilion.”
” Thousand Demon Summon?” Third Elder’s expression changed in an instant, ” How is it possible? For it…”
” I need approval of four elders.” Song Mingwu smirked as he showed a scroll,” Second Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, they all agreed.”
Blood Poison Hand snatched the scroll, his eyes gloomily scanned through it. Truly, he saw four seals on the scroll.
” So, you want to proclaim yourself as the cult leader?” Third Elder spoke in a gloomy voice.
” Why not? The cult leader’s position isn’t tied to bloodline.” Wang Erhu snickered, ” Those who could suppress a thousand demons under the might, the one who is acknowledged by the sun and moon, only he can be the Cult Leader.”
Suddenly, at that moment, a bird circled the sky. Third Elder’s eyes shone as he snapped his finger. The bird slowly flapped its wings, dropping a message on his hands.
Opening the message, Third Elder’s shoulder quivered. Song Mingwu frowned, but he kept his expression steady.
” Looks like some message came for Third Elder?”
” Indeed. Looks like some traitors of our cult attacked Lady Qin on her way to the Heavenly Ascension Cave.” Third Elder spoke in a placid voice.
” Goodness, is that true?!” Song Mingwu appeared to be stunned. ” I hope Lady Qin is alright?”
” Thankfully, he is. All the traitors are slaughtered. Young Lady is currently undergoing the trials of the cave.”
This time, Song Mingwu’s expression turned fake from genuine. ” Oh…That’s certainly delightful news.”
” Isn’t it?” Third Elder snickered, ” I wonder what will happen if Young Miss returns? Looks like there is more than one contender for the seat of cult leader.”
Song Mingwu’s eyes flickered, but he smiled, ” It doesn’t matter. The one who is destined to win shall become the cultivator.”
” Glory to the Sun Moon Sacred Cult.”
” Glory to the Sun Moon Sacred Cult.” Third Elder replied coldly.
As they left, Blood Poison Hand let out a sigh of relief. ” To think Qin Yuyue managed to reach there.”
” Wait…There isn’t any usual insignia my men use on paper for a secret message.” Blood Poison Hand’s heart turned cold.
The Dark Light Pavilion manages the intelligence and information flow of the Sun Moon Sacred Cult. He couldn’t believe some outsider managed to send a message to him directly like one of his trusted subordinates.
It was a serious breach of security, enough to make Third Elder jump in fright.
‘ But, I did find that War Demon Hall sent two batches of disciples to hunt down Qin Yuyue. Fuck, I truly hope this letter is true.’
‘ Could it be…Jun Clan really acted.’ Third Elder sighed, looking at the sky.
” Everything will be decided in two days.”
In War Demon Hall, Song Mingwu cursed loudly, ” USELESS! EVERYONE IS USELESS!”
” Young Lord, what if that bastard is bluffing?” Wand Erhu raised a question, but Song Mingwu shook his head.
” It must be true. Otherwise, I would have received the signal by now. Third Elder must have pulled some strings from behind.”
” What’s there to worry?” An elder appeared, shrouded in dark mist. He was none other than the Sixth Elder.
” Young Lord, as long as you can do ‘that’ in the ceremony in Rising Sun Pavilion, who will dare to question you?”
Song Mingwu was about to say something, but paused. Calming his face, he nodded, ” Indeed. Elders, please stay carefree. I will handle everything. Now, I wish to have some private time.”
As the elders of Sun Moon Sacred Cult left, Song Mingwu looked at a corner, speaking coldly.
” Looks like there is some variable. I believe we should activate Plan B.”
” Very well. I will ask them to stay ready. I hope you are ready to fulfill your promise.” A voice echoed, making Song Mingwu clench his teeth.
” I will.”
