Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

The Heavenly Sword Mansion began preparing for this grand righteous plan over a hundred years ago. It’s safe to say that the plan had already taken deep root in people’s hearts. Coupled with the intentional efforts of the cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Mansion, a significant number of cultivators in the world had become aware of the existence of this great plan.

In recent years, even the powerful elite within local noble families were able to discuss it to some extent.

As a result, from the day he descended the mountain, except for his identity as the Dragon Crown Prince’s bloodline, which remained unknown, all other information related to him had spread far and wide.

Particularly, Long Zhangyuan’s background as a village youth garnered him a great deal of favor among loose cultivators.

This also resulted in a very positive impression of the Heavenly Sword Mansion, which had chosen such a lowly-born youth to be the Son of the Heavenly Mandate. Even to the extent of seeing the Heavenly Sword Mansion as the clear-skied, upstanding official within the cultivation world.

Thus, any cultivator who didn’t share this view would not only face collective condemnation but would also find loose cultivators reporting them to the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Mansion.

Although Long Zhangyuan had committed many foolish acts, what were the origins of the cultivators who had been invited to the Anxin Goodwill Meeting?

Even Tan Shuchang, who had been unexpectedly invited, bore the identity of a former minister’s son.

Therefore, the foolish things that Long Zhangyuan had done had, in fact, improved his reputation among loose cultivators.

It was just like the court executing a corrupt official.

When the court presented a corrupt official for execution, the people would cheer, and they would cheer still if another were brought forth. As for whether the person executed was truly corrupt, that became a matter no longer of concern to the people.

Under such circumstances, even if Long Zhangyuan was soundly defeated in his battle with Tan Shuchang, it wouldn’t affect him in the slightest.

After all, to many, Long Zhangyuan had practiced cultivation for less than a year, while Tan Shuchang, that demon cultivator, had been cultivating for nearly four years.

But it could not withstand certain individuals spreading the details of that battle everywhere in secret.

To this, a little girl with a surname and given name that matched could only admit — yes, that’s right, it was my doing!

She simply disliked the people from the Heavenly Sword Mansion!

When disciples of a younger generation fought, it was understood, even if elders were involved behind the scenes, as it was normal to want to prevent accidents.

However, if you, as an elder, not only showed favoritism but also stepped in to assist in beating the other party, that was no longer just a little excessive!

As for the Heavenly Sword Mansion’s use of Immortal Sect power to attract enmity toward the sect for that little girl’s actions, they said nothing about it.

The first reason was that, although the Heavenly Sword Mansion was inferior to the Heavenly Sword Mansion, it still held no fear; and secondly, what the young master from the Luoja Mountain could discern, the people from the Heavenly Sword Mansion could naturally see as well.

Especially regarding the Luoja Mountain’s young master deliberately keeping Tan Shuchang for an hour and then giving him the body of a Nine Orifices Martial Demon, the true intention behind this was crystal clear to those who really held power within the Heavenly Sword Mansion.

Even without knowing about the Nine Orifices Martial Demon, that hour alone was enough to convey some key information.

And if the Heavenly Sword Mansion could figure this out, so could other Immortal Sects.

Therefore, Dongdong might believe she was responsible, but in reality, it wasn’t just the Heavenly Sword Mansion’s people making covert efforts. Even top-tier Immortal Sects like Western Tuo Mountain and Supreme Purity Observatory, which rarely sent their disciples down the mountain and had a hint of retreat from the world, were offering secret help.

After all, the so-called righteous plan of Tu Jian Mountain is riddled with too many doubts.

It’s not good to intervene directly, but if this Son of the Heavenly Mandate of yours challenges someone and loses, there’s no problem with us going around and speaking about it.

At this moment, after hearing Ji Linger mention that there was also a Son of the Heavenly Mandate at Tu Jian Mountain, Ning Shuqi became somewhat concerned. Not only him, but Tao Junjiu and the middle-aged Cultivator Zhuo Mo also couldn’t help but take notice.

However, after listening to Ji Linger talk about the matters related to Long Zhangyuan, neither Ning Shuqi, Tao Junjiu, nor Zhuo Mo burst into derision.

Especially Tao Junjiu, his eyebrows furrowed immediately.

Then, he directly turned to Ning Shuqi and asked, "Ning Xiao You, how do you view this Son of the Heavenly Mandate of Tu Jian Mountain, Long Zhangyuan, who seems like a joke?"

Ning Shuqi didn’t expect Tao Junjiu to ask so abruptly, but he understood that the question was about the other’s consideration of the investment in him, so he didn’t answer immediately but thought carefully about it. Find exclusive stories on NovelBin.Côm

A moment later, Ning Shuqi finally said, "This Son of the Heavenly Mandate from Tu Jian Mountain, since he was able to leave the mountain, undoubtedly, in Tu Jian Mountain’s view, his strength must already be sufficient to stand on his own. The only thing he’s likely lacking is tempering.

So, it’s not that Long Zhangyuan is too foolish or weak, but rather, Tan Shuchang’s strength has reached an unfathomable level."

Tan Shuchang’s strength was unquestionable because after that day, he also gradually came to realize—with the degree of concern his uncle, the Demon Cultivator, had for him, if someone dared to make a move on him, how could his uncle remain indifferent?

It’s true that his uncle had become a Demon Cultivator not of his own volition, but after embracing the demonic path, his uncle adapted well to the cultivation of the demonic arts.

Zhuo Mo, in those days, was a fearsome name.

Therefore, it’s not that his uncle didn’t want to kill Tan Shuchang, but rather that he could not.

And the previous conversation between Tao Junjiu and his uncle undoubtedly confirmed this point. Hence, not only did he not look down on Long Zhangyuan, but instead, he felt immense shock toward Long Zhangyuan, who was able to exchange blows with Tan Shuchang.

At this moment, upon hearing the recognition for Long Zhangyuan in Ning Shuqi’s words, Tao Junjiu nodded and said, "You think this way, which is good!

Right now, everyone in the world is probably laughing at Long Zhangyuan, but little do they know it’s not that Long Zhangyuan is incompetent, but rather that Tan Shuchang has already become a cultivator who has stepped into the clouds in the Jiawu Realm."

"Such strength, among various sects and factions, only individuals who have practiced for nearly a hundred years are qualified to compete with him. Even with the blessings of the Heavenly Mandate, Long Zhangyuan cannot contend with Tan Shuchang in a short period!"

"Tan Shuchang has been cultivating for merely four years, yet his demonic power is overwhelming, so if I’m not mistaken, the manner of his master, the Heartless Old Man’s death, ought to be different from what the world believes. The Heartless Old Man’s cultivation, it should have been seized by Tan Shuchang.

Such demonic arts have vanished now, but three hundred years ago, it was not a secret at all."

At this point, Tao Junjiu looked at Ning Shuqi and asked, "I know you envy Long Zhangyuan, but don’t be envious, for you too bear the Heavenly Mandate. What you lack compared to him are merely the resources he has access to. And luckily, what this Tu Jian Mountain can offer, I, Tao Junjiu, can provide as well!"

"Master!" Ning Shuqi knew exactly what Tao Junjiu meant and immediately knelt down to kowtow.

Zhuo Mo also had no intention to stop him.

Because in his mind, this was a good thing.

However, watching this scene unfold, Ji Linger’s eyes, already cold, seemed to grow even colder at this moment.

"Master, with Tan Shuchang possessing such demonic power, if he is allowed to continue growing, wouldn’t he soon become invincible in the world?" After kowtowing, Ning Shuqi, who detested Demon Cultivators, anxiously inquired.

"You need not worry. Although such demonic arts can seize others’ cultivation, they cannot be so casually taken, and there are also fatal vulnerabilities. Tan Shuchang is now arrogant and overbearing, forcing even me, who hasn’t fully recovered, to avoid him by a wide berth, but that’s only because—Tan Shuchang is the destiny-ordained Heavenly Adversary!"
