A few days passed.

Ning Tian's image in the Heavenly Demon Sect transformed overnight from a useless disciple to a mysterious and omnipotent Patriarch.

Especially the incident a few days ago in the Scripture Pavilion, where he used the Thunder Tribulation to open spiritual veins, directly creating one hundred and ninety-nine spiritual veins, which spread like wildfire within the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Many disciples have already become loyal fans of Ning Tian.

There is even a slogan circulating within the Heavenly Demon Sect: "As long as the Patriarch is here, surprises are guaranteed."

...

The commotion in the Heavenly Demon Sect and the terrifying Thunder Tribulation from that day still linger in the hearts of many leaders of various forces in the Tianling Domain.

Many forces unwilling to become enemies with the Heavenly Demon Sect are already planning to show goodwill, sending their prodigies to the sect for a Dao discussion.

The Dao discussion encompasses both literature and martial arts.

It is a friendly exchange on the path of cultivation.

Shadow Demon Sect.

In the Tianling Domain, there is a distinction between the righteous path and the demonic path. If the Heavenly Demon Sect is the leader of the demonic path, then the Shadow Demon Sect can be considered second.

At this moment, within the Shadow Demon Sect.

Unlike the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Shadow Demon Sect is located in the Dark Forest, a place eerie and sunless, perfectly matching its name, Shadow Demon!

A cold wind blew through.

Inside the main hall of the Shadow Demon Sect.

An old man with a hooked nose stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of coldness. Behind him stood a young man, his complexion pale, possessing a certain delicate beauty from afar.

If not for the prominent Adam's apple, one might mistake him for a woman.

"Sect Master, the disciple has arrived."

The delicate young man looked at the old man with the hooked nose and spoke slowly.

"Good, it's good that you're here."

The old man with the hooked nose nodded, glanced at the delicate young man, and said, "Sanshi, have you... broken through again?"

"Yes, Sect Master."

Yin Sanshi nodded, a gentle smile appearing at the corners of his mouth. "Now, I'm just half a step away from entering the Earth King Realm, already at the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm."

"Half a step from entering the Earth King Realm?"

Hearing this, the old man with the hooked nose smiled with satisfaction. The strength of the Earth King Realm is equivalent to an ordinary elder in many forces within the Tianling Domain.

Yin Sanshi is only twenty and already comparable to those elders who are half a century old.

With such potential, if nurtured a bit, he could be the future successor of the Shadow Demon Sect.

"Sanshi."

The old man with the hooked nose looked at Yin Sanshi and said, "Have you heard about the matters of the Heavenly Demon Sect recently?"

"The disciple has heard some."

Yin Sanshi nodded, "The Thunder Tribulation shook the heavens that day, and I witnessed the dark clouds covering the sky."

"Sigh."

The old man with the hooked nose sighed, "The Heavenly Demon Sect is growing stronger, with the Empress holding the fort. Our Shadow Demon Sect really can't turn the tables."

"......"

Hearing this, Yin Sanshi remained silent.

"Sanshi, do you think the Heavenly Demon Sect deserves to be the leader of the demonic path?" The old man with the hooked nose asked, a glint of sharpness in his eyes as he looked at Yin Sanshi.

"This... the disciple is foolish and dares not meddle in sect disputes."

Yin Sanshi pondered for a moment and then slowly shook his head.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Yin Sanshi's words, the old man with the hooked nose grew more and more fond of him, his eyes filled with appreciation.

Yin Sanshi knew that such topics were completely out of his league as a young disciple, yet he answered in a very tactful manner.

Not bad!

This is the kind of disciple he values!

"Don't be afraid!"

The old man with the hooked nose patted Yin Sanshi's shoulder and laughed, "This is the Shadow Demon Sect. No matter what you say, it doesn't matter! Just speak boldly."

Only then did Yin Sanshi nod, pondering for a moment.

"The disciple believes that the Heavenly Demon Sect deserves to be the leader of the demonic path, yet also does not deserve it."

"Deserves to be..."

"Yet does not deserve?"

The old man with the hooked nose murmured, puzzled as he looked at Yin Sanshi, "What do you mean by that? Isn't it contradictory?"

"Not at all."

Yin Sanshi shook his head, speaking calmly and unhurriedly, "Sect Master, please allow the disciple to explain."

"The disciple believes that the Heavenly Demon Sect is powerful, with thousands of followers and countless elders, and with the Empress in charge, it indeed deserves to be the leader of the demonic path."

"In the demonic path, no force is stronger than the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"However."

"Herein lies the problem."

"Though the Heavenly Demon Sect is part of the demonic path and practices demonic arts, its actions and style are not of the demonic path."

"The demonic path is bloodthirsty and murderous, but the Heavenly Demon Sect is not."

"They only focus on practicing demonic arts. Such a 'demon' is not suitable to be the leader of the demonic path in the Tianling Domain!"

"That is the disciple's view."

Yin Sanshi explained slowly.

A demonic sect should be demonic, should kill, should be bloodthirsty!

This is the style of the demonic path in the Tianling Domain, but since the Empress took charge, the Heavenly Demon Sect is neither bloodthirsty nor murderous, yet its strength grows!

This has already displeased many forces within the demonic path.

But fearing the strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they can only be angry without daring to speak.

People of the demonic path, which one hasn't stained their hands with blood?

Though Yin Sanshi may appear weak and delicate, in truth, he has also stained his hands with the blood of innocent villagers.

"......"

After Yin Sanshi finished speaking, the old man with the hooked nose was stunned, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

Then.

He burst into laughter!

"Hahaha! What a perspective!"

Yin Sanshi's words struck a chord with the old man with the hooked nose!

"Now the Heavenly Demon Sect runs rampant, though part of the demonic path, they don't act like it. If this continues, won't the demonic path in the Tianling Domain become a mere name?"

"Hmph!"

"A mere little girl leading the Heavenly Demon Sect wants to become the leader of the demonic path, ruining the demonic atmosphere!"

The old man with the hooked nose's eyes flickered with malice, his expression full of indignation.

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

He is also an Emperor Realm expert, but his strength is only at the seven-star Divine Emperor Realm, while Luo Wuqing is at the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm!

Being overshadowed by a woman makes him very displeased!

"Sect Master, do you mean..."

Yin Sanshi was taken aback.

He frowned slightly, why did he feel that the Sect Master seemed to be planning something big?

"Hehe..."

"Just wait and see the show!"

The old man with the hooked nose's mouth curled into a cold smile.

"Many old demons in the demonic path are already dissatisfied with the Empress. It's said that tomorrow, many forces will send their prodigies to the Heavenly Demon Sect for a Dao discussion. If the demonic path forces her to abdicate, do you think the position of leader will still belong to her Heavenly Demon Sect?"

"Hiss..."

Yin Sanshi's heart trembled!

He didn't expect that so many forces within the demonic path already had the idea of forcing her to abdicate!

And during the Dao discussion at the Heavenly Demon Sect!

If successful, the Empress's authority might shatter instantly!

By then, as the second in the demonic path, they could naturally and rightfully become the leader!

"Then Sect Master, why did you call the disciple here?" Yin Sanshi squinted his eyes, puzzled as he looked at the old man with the hooked nose.
