Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 911 -906: Everyone in Immortal Pivot Goes to Jail

Days passed one by one.

While Lü Yang comprehended the mysteries within Emperor Ying and rapidly improved, back in the Current World, World Purger Fei Xue had finished her rest and returned to the Sea of Clouds.

Holy Fire Cliff.

As soon as World Purger Fei Xue returned, she saw a boundless Splendid Light diffuse before her eyes. The light spanned for thousands of miles, like crashing waves beating against a shore. It was an enormous lake. The lake’s surface acted like a bright mirror, reflecting reality and illusion, and a figure resembling a splash of ink stood upon the water.

“Daoist, you have finally returned.”

True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven gave a half-smile. “Daoist, you took a trip to the Profound Spirit Realm. Did you manage to reap any harvest from that Immortal Monarch of Tribulation?”

“Cut the crap.”

World Purger Fei Xue waved her hand dismissively and said casually, “Between Bright Pearl and Profound Turtle, Bright Pearl belongs to me, and Profound Turtle belongs to you. This matter brings benefits to you as well.”

Upon hearing this, True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven’s eyes flickered slightly.

He thought, “It’s just as I expected!”

The moment he saw Bright Pearl Great Saint and Profound Turtle Great Saint come together to seek refuge that day, he felt something was off—especially after learning the reason why the two demons were seeking shelter.

What True Demon? Wasn’t it just Minor Metal?

World Purger Fei Xue’s once favorite disciple.

At the time, he concluded that World Purger Fei Xue was definitely secretly plotting behind the scenes. However, after careful consideration, he still chose to accept the two Great Saints.

The reason was exactly as World Purger Fei Xue just stated: this matter also benefited him. After all, World Purger Fei Xue only needed one, so the other would naturally fall to him. This way, he could also have a Perfected Lord affiliate themselves with him, one who possessed the Fruit of Thunderbolt Fire, which perfectly matched his Fruit of Wide-Brook Water!

He mused, “I always felt that Fei Xue didn’t mesh well with the style of our Stain Sect.

“But looking at it now, she actually understands quite well!”

Thinking of this, True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven’s tone instantly softened significantly. He chuckled and said, “Those two demons are currently at my residence. Daoist, you can go and see them yourself.”

“Lead the way.”

“Right away!”

Since there were benefits involved, True Monarch of Contained Light and Floating Heaven’s attitude toward World Purger Fei Xue took an immediate one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn. He enthusiastically guided World Purger Fei Xue forward.

Soon, the two arrived at a secluded residence on Holy Fire Cliff.

Inside the residence, Bright Pearl Great Saint and Profound Turtle Great Saint were adjusting their breathing when they saw two streaks of Flying Light streak across the sky and land in the hall. They hurriedly got up and stepped forward to greet them.

Especially after seeing the renowned World Purger Fei Xue, their attitude became even more sincere. They immediately cupped their hands and said, “We Little Demons greet the Perfected Lord. That True Demon is wreaking havoc Overseas, and the cowardly and incompetent Old Dragon Monarch has already abandoned us and fled. Therefore, we have come to pledge our allegiance, hoping only that the Perfected Lord will take us in.”

“Hehe.”

Hearing this, World Purger Fei Xue smiled faintly. “You two are smart individuals. Feel free to stay. Old Dragon Monarch is intelligent, and he has done his utmost for you.”

“…”

As soon as she said this, Profound Turtle Great Saint and Bright Pearl Great Saint immediately exchanged a glance but did not dare to reply. They simply bowed deeply, burying their heads even lower.

Regarding Old Dragon Monarch’s escape, although the two demons had been filled with resentment at first and wished they could fight him to the death, they had now come to realize the truth.

They thought, “Old Dragon Monarch has survived for countless years and is incredibly experienced. He probably saw right away that the Stain Sect was the driving force behind that True Demon. Thus, he did them a favor by deliberately fleeing, pushing us to seek refuge with the Stain Sect. If we hadn’t joined the Stain Sect then, we probably wouldn’t have a moment of peace for the rest of our lives.”

The two demons were not fools either. The reason they came to pledge allegiance to the Stain Sect was also because they saw through the underlying issues. Confident that their lives were not in danger, they made this decision after careful deliberation.

However, despite this, the fact that the Overseas Demon Race had been reduced to such a state—where even two Perfected Lords in the Middle Stage of Golden Core had to lower themselves and beg for a way out—showed just how difficult times were.

They thought, “What will become of our Demon Race?”

At this thought, the two Great Saints even felt the sudden urge to sob. They had countless thoughts but dared not show the slightest hint, leaving them with no choice but to bury them deep in their hearts.

Yet, it was not just them. Looking at the two bowing Demon Race Great Saints, World Purger Fei Xue narrowed her eyes slightly. No one noticed that her expression at this moment was actually somewhat complicated.

She thought, “Are you unwilling? Do you feel aggrieved?”

“It’s better this way. Just keep it in your mind and don’t show it. Some things must just be chewed up and swallowed; they cannot be taken out for others to see.”

She raised her head, her gaze piercing into the Sea of Suffering.

In a daze, she seemed to see that above the Sea of Suffering, in a place infinitely high and far away, a gaze was silently descending to meet hers.

She thought, “He is still watching me… Hehe.” World Purger Fei Xue let out a self-deprecating laugh.

This was the Immortal Pivot. This Broken Place had somehow achieved equality for all to some extent. Everyone had a prison to sit in; the only difference was whether it was a large prison or a small one.

……..

Emperor Ying.

“BOOM!”

Accompanied by a loud crash, Demon-Vanquishing Perfected took a step back. On the other side, the sword-wielding Profound Robed Man also retreated, a striking sword mark left on his chest.

“Amazing.”

The Profound Robed Man praised softly, “What kind of Dao is this? Sword Dao? Unlikely, that is Sword Monarch’s Dao. It seems to be some kind of Great Dao that is similar yet different.”

As he spoke, the Profound Robed Man’s body began to dissipate with the sword mark at its center. However, he acted as if he hadn’t noticed and continued analyzing it on his own. “But even so, the similarity is quite intimidating. How interesting. Since when did that petty Sword Monarch become so generous?”

“How did you cultivate this kind of Dao?”

“No comment,” Demon-Vanquishing Perfected shook his head.

“Sigh, boring.” The Profound Robed Man sighed emotionally. “Forget it, forget it. I’ll consider your Second Acupoint opened… wait, fourth acupoint opened. Go on, go on. Talents are emerging in abundance in the Sea of Light nowadays.”

Soon, after watching Demon-Vanquishing Perfected leave to comprehend the Primordial Sea of Light, the Profound Robed Man sat heavily in the Dark Land, the sword mark on his body rapidly fading.

“Another one with outstanding Talent Skills,” the Profound Robed Man muttered.

“The last one had astonishing Enlightenment, only slightly inferior to mine, and could be considered handsome among humans. This one is extremely skilled in Combat, and his looks are passable.

“But… what about the Upper Upper Rank?

“The Challenger who at first glance looked worse than a monkey, but actually just had his Wisdom Light deeply hidden? Could it be that he was momentarily careless and died out there?”

The Profound Robed Man spoke to himself, seemingly trying to relieve his years of loneliness. “But in any case, since the Sea of Light is still around, it means my plan should have succeeded. However, with that lord around, the atmosphere in the Sea of Light has probably gotten as bad as it can get. Surviving there won’t be easy.

“Not to mention he is cultivating a Dharma Body.”

After pondering for a moment, the Profound Robed Man shook his head again and flicked his sleeves, standing up.

“Forget it, it’s not worth overthinking.

“With the Upper Upper Rank’s strength, he probably couldn’t even defeat me at the Second Acupoint. Considering he hasn’t come for so long, I’m afraid that one comprehension session didn’t increase his strength by much.

“That’s normal, too.

“After all, no matter how deeply hidden his Wisdom Light is, with such ugly looks, his Enlightenment couldn’t be that high. It’s completely normal for him not to comprehend anything.”

Unless he could comprehend it a few more times. However, Emperor Ying had its own rules. How could he possibly leave a backdoor open for someone? If there was someone to blame, the Upper Upper Rank could only blame his own lacking Talent Skill.

……..

In the blink of an eye, two and a half years passed.

Inside the Lingxu Pavilion, Lü Yang sat cross-legged. As Demon-Vanquishing Perfected retreated from the Dark Land, he finally concluded his eighth comprehension session and opened his eyes.

“BOOM!”

The next second, a full three fruit-like clusters of light emerged one after another around him, circling his left and right, bringing a satisfied smile to his face.

“I have reached this point today entirely thanks to the hard work of my Talent Skills!

“Three Fruit Arcanas.

“The Ancestor comprehended it three times, Master comprehended it four times, and I freeloaded seven times. I’ve finally reaped some harvest… Perfect timing, it’s time for me to go challenge it myself!”
