Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (16)

Chuzheng could hardly be considered a good teacher, and King’s Account felt that Li Tang was bound to suffer demonic cultivation deviation sooner or later.

She actually let a member of the Demon Clan feel the Spiritual Energy and then cultivate?

Crazy!

[Miss, you should be concerned about his injuries.]

“Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching a man to fish.”

[…]If Miss isn’t single, who is single!

–

The injuries on Li Tang’s body were inflicted by Zhao Yue.

Of course, Zhao Yue didn’t benefit from it either, so in the following days, Li Tang lived relatively peacefully.

He attended classes in the Outer Sect during the day and cultivated with Chuzheng at night.

One day, when Li Tang returned from the Outer Sect, he found that an extra Formation had been added to his room.

“What’s this?”

“Demon Attracting Formation.”

Li Tang: “???”

After pondering, Chuzheng seriously replied, “I modified it from the Spirit Attracting Formation. It works quite well.”

Li Tang: “…”

Is this really a question of whether it works well?

You’ve set up a Demon Attracting Formation in the Ziyun Sect!!

Are you trying to make it known that you’re part of the Demon Clan?

“Why do you know the Spirit Attracting Formation?” She’s a demon cultivator, okay?!

“I learned it yesterday from the neighboring peak.” Chuzheng answered as if it were obvious: “Is there a problem?”

Li Tang was at a loss for words.

He stepped into the Demon Attracting Formation, and though he normally couldn’t feel Spiritual Energy, entering the formation was like entering an ocean, where he could distinctly sense the Demonic Qi.

The Demon Attracting Formation relied entirely on Demon Crystals for power and needed a new one every ten days.

Currently, she was in the Human Realm, and King’s Account wouldn’t issue tasks related to the Demon Realm, so the supply of Demon Crystals was limited.

It seems she had to figure out a way to create a Spirit Conversion Formation.

[May I ask, Miss, what is a Spirit Conversion Formation?]

Turning Spiritual Energy into Demonic Qi; isn’t that the literal meaning? Why are you asking me such an intelligence-lowering question?

[…Can Miss do it?]

No.

[Then how will you manage it?]

You’ll know once it’s done.

[…]It felt as if it was seeing the terrible end of Li Tang succumbing to demonic cultivation deviation. It was horrifying.

Li Tang stayed in the Demon Attracting Formation for one night, and following Chuzheng’s brief theoretical knowledge, with his talent for turning into a major boss, he successfully drew Demonic Qi into his body.

The reason he could do so quickly was probably related to the Demonic Qi that Chuzheng had once transferred into his body back at Baiying Valley.

But now, there was another issue—

Li Tang’s body contained Demonic Qi, and with his current ability, he had no way to conceal it. Anyone with a bit of cultivation could see the Demonic Qi on him.

“Why haven’t you left yet?”

Li Tang pointed to himself: “Demonic Qi.”

“Hmm, now that you’ve officially started cultivating, it’s normal to have Demonic Qi.” What’s there to make a fuss about?

Li Tang continued: “If I go out, I’ll be discovered.”

The Demonic Qi around Li Tang was very light, as if he had just accidentally come into contact with it somewhere.

However, such Demonic Qi was enough to incite an uproar within the Ziyun Sect, and to have him captured and torn to pieces…

The Good Person Card would be gone!

If the Good Person Card is gone, there’d be a rewind!

No way!

Chuzheng rummaged through the Spatial Bag and found an Ancient Jade she had wastefully bought at some point. She handed the jade to him: “Keep the jade on you at all times, and no one will detect anything.”

The Ancient Jade was warm and smooth, with a strange energy inside that moved slowly.

“What kind of jade is this?”

“Don’t know.” As long as it’s valuable and effective, she didn’t care about the type. Chuzheng waved her hand to shoo him away: “You can leave now.”

Li Tang: “…”

–

Zhao Yue eventually remembered who Li Tang was.

In Zhao Yue’s memory, Li Tang should have been dead. Yet here he was, appearing before them, which greatly puzzled Zhao Yue.

But he had been someone Zhao Yue used to bully, and even if he was still alive, he could only be the target of Zhao Yue’s bullying.

Thus, Zhao Yue was very rude to Li Tang.

From verbal provocation to physical conflict.

At first, Zhao Yue, with his followers, suppressed Li Tang. Later, Li Tang also gathered his own followers, and the division of forces among the Outer Sect disciples became increasingly clear.

Zhao Yue found it harder and harder to come out on top.

“You are nothing but a bastard without a mother’s upbringing, your mom probably doesn’t know how many men she’s been with…”

The cold light flashed fiercely in the eyes of the youth opposite him. With a strong push from his feet, he rushed towards Zhao Yue.

In that instant, Zhao Yue sensed the killing intent and had no time to shout a warning. He hastily defended himself.

The youth’s eyes were filled with a sinister intent to kill as he broke through Zhao Yu’s defense and struck him in the chest with a palm.

Zhao Yue was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground, where his followers hurried to help him up.

“What are you doing?” A gentle yet dignified voice sounded from above.

A young girl dressed in silver-edged embroidered clothes stood poised on a path above. Her delicate face was tinged with a sickly pallor, but it did nothing to diminish her beauty.

“Senior Sister Song.”

“It’s Senior Sister Song.”

“She is Senior Sister Song, truly deserving the title of Ziyun Sect’s first beauty…”

“Senior Sister Song, he’s bullying people!” Zhao Yue, bruised and battered, complained to Song Fenglan.

Song Fenglan remembered this young man; they had met once before in Baiying Valley, but she felt his features were somehow familiar, and yet could not recall where she had seen them.

People from the Song Family… Li Tang lowered his head, hiding most of his face.

“Are you bullying people?” she asked softly.

Li Tang replied solemnly, “We were just having a normal spar.”

Some disciples behind Li Tang immediately echoed, “A spar, exactly. Zhao Yue, if you can’t match someone, don’t be so vile!”

“Bullshit, he was trying to kill me just now!” Zhao Yue thought of the feeling he had earlier and was overtaken by fear.

If it weren’t for Senior Sister Song’s timely arrival, he might already be dead.

A disciple retorted, “If Li Tang wanted to kill you just now, it would have been as easy as flipping his hand. How are you still alive to talk nonsense to Senior Sister?”

“Senior Sister, you have to be fair for me, he wanted to kill me!”

Song Fenglan’s eyebrows lightly furrowed, “Followers of the same sect should not fight to the death; sparring must have limits. Be more careful next time.”

Zhao Yue: “…”

Zhao Yue glared fiercely at Li Tang.

How could even Senior Sister Song be taking his side?

Li Tang acknowledged with a cold nod and, leading his followers, left the scene.

A hint of doubt flickered in Song Fenglan’s eyes; after giving a few instructions to the remaining disciples, she too left the place.

–

Li Tang belonged to North Spirit Peak, and no one dared to punish him. Every time there was trouble, it was Zhao Yue who ended up being punished, which made Zhao Yue despise Li Tang even more.

Half a year flew by in the blink of an eye.

The Outer Sect disciples had learned some simple spells, and fights were no longer just brawls as they had been before.

Zhao Yue and Li Tang were at odds, and fights broke out every few days.

But this time, the trouble was quite serious; someone had died.

As it so happens, an Elder from the Law Enforcement Hall stumbled upon the incident, and the situation escalated.

“Someone from the Sect has already been sent to inform North Spirit Peak,” whispered one of the Sect disciples to Li Tang.

Li Tang nodded, but he did not hold much hope.

She wasn’t on North Spirit Peak.

Chuzheng would occasionally leave North Spirit Peak, and each time she was gone for several days. Whenever Li Tang asked about it, she simply said she was spending Spirit Stones.

Li Tang didn’t quite believe her and felt that Chuzheng was up to something.

It had been three days since he last saw her.

This matter had nothing to do with her…

“Silence!” the Elder from the Law Enforcement Hall shouted, “Someone tell me, what happened?”

“Elder, let me explain!” Zhao Yue raised his hand.

The Law Enforcement Hall Elder pointed to another disciple, “You tell it.”

Zhao Yue begrudgingly lowered his hand.

The selected disciple looked at Li Tang then at Zhao Yue. Intimidated by Zhao Yue’s glare, he quickly replied, “Elder, it was… yesterday, Li Tang had a conflict with Sun Fei, but today, Sun Fei was found dead here, and he had this in his hand.”
