The Girls All Want To Make A Demon Of Me - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Elders’ Meeting

Shen Bai’s tone was firm, and he could not tolerate any objections.

Rather than calling it a meeting, it was more like giving orders that had already been decided.

Elder Bai Mei of Carefree Peak did not immediately respond. He said in a deep voice, “In this trial, one Foundation Establishment disciple, four Qi Refinement disciples, and the traitor Liu Yuan who had sneaked in at some point in time have died. If not for the timely discovery, the losses would have been unimaginable. This matter must be treated seriously. However, before that, I think it’s necessary to conduct a large screening of the sect.”

After this incident, Elder Bai Mei deeply realized the shortcomings of the sect’s security. Liu Yuan had been in the sect for more than six years. If he had only recently rebelled, it would have been better. If he had been a spy planted by the Demon race from the beginning, who knew how many sect secrets had been leaked to the Deomn race during these years.

Moreover, who could guarantee that there was only one spy in the sect?

The Hundred Flowers Peak’s elder was a woman with a gentle aura and a thin veil on her face. Jun Wulan nodded in agreement. She narrowed her eyes and said solemnly.

“Demons are cunning. Based on my understanding of demons, it’s impossible for them to only plant one spy. However, there have been many new disciples recently. It’s not a small task to conduct a thorough investigation.”

Moreover, coincidentally, the sect master had entered seclusion. The situation would only be more complicated than they had imagined.

However, Shen Bai did not agree. He slammed the table angrily and berated,

“The internal self-examination of the sect can be done at any time. The most important thing now is to declare war on those demons. They have violated the agreement. This matter

cannot be delayed at all.”

Elder Liu Ming of the Hundred Swords Peak, a burly man, chuckled and said,

“Elder Calm, why are you in such a hurry? Haven’t you always been very calm? Don’t be

so anxious when your son dies. This isn’t like

you.”

Liu Ming did not hide his mockery at all.

Anyone could feel his naked hostility.

Shen Bai glanced at the muscular man opposite

him and glared.

“I’m just stating a fact. Elder Liu, don’t cause

trouble for no reason.”

Liu Ming chuckled again.

“I’ve been emphasizing since the beginning that we should pay more attention to quality instead of quantity when recruiting disciples. I don’t know which peak was the one that always recruited more disciples than the set standard every year. Now, it’s simply asking for trouble to carry out an investigation. Oh, you don’t explain anything. I’m just stating a fact.”

The atmosphere turned heavy.

Shen Bai and Liu Ming stared at each other.

Although no one made a move, everyone could clearly smell the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air.

Elder Bai Mei grunted and interrupted,

“A hundred years ago, the Demon race and the Dao Alliance signed a truce agreement. Since then, the Demon race has completely retreated to the Demon Desolate Land. The two sides have no contact with each other on the surface. The Demon race was the one who attacked first, and we have concrete evidence. The Dao Alliance will not sit back and do nothing. As for how to act, it’s not too late to wait for the Dao Alliance to make a decision.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Bai Mei’s gaze descended onto Vice Sect Master

Shen Bai.

Shen Bai snorted and turned his body to the side, leaving behind a sour expression. He did not say anything else.

The Hundred Flowers Peak elder, Jun Wulan,

said softly.

“Elder Bai Mei, can I trouble you to explain the

details of the matter? This way, we can arrange for the follow-up investigation.”

Among the elders participating in the meeting,

only Elder Bai Mei knew the details of the

entire matter. The other elders only had a

rough understanding.

Elder Bai Mei stroked his long and strong eyebrows. He curled his lips and said, “Actually, all of this is thanks to two people. If

not for them, my Black Heaven Sect would definitely be doomed this time.”

The elders could not help but prick up their

ears.

Elder Bai Mei looked back and retracted his

gaze. He continued to tell her about the trial,

from the beginning when Gu Yiping gave her

Profound Disk to how Jiang Hong was so

strong.

Visible to the naked eye, the eyes of the elders present changed from initial surprise to shock, and finally to relief.

Jun Wulan said gently,

“I didn’t expect such a genius to be hidden in the sect. Fortunately, Yiping discovered it early. Otherwise, we old fellows would have sinned.

However, if it’s the Misty Peak, it’s not impossible to understand why we haven’t discovered it until now. After all, the current Peak Master is that child, Ji Xiaoran.” At the mention of the Misty Peak’s Peak

Master, the expressions of every elder present more or less became complicated.

A few of them even looked disdainful and

unhappy.

For example, Shen Bai.

Jun Wulan did not care. She continued,

“It’s all thanks to Jiang Hong that this trial

didn’t result in a huge disaster. My Black

Heaven Sect has always been clear about rewards and punishments. I remember that that child is currently in seclusion. Since that’s

the case, let us settle his rewards now. What do you think?”

“Then let me forge an exclusive flying sword for him,” Liu Ming volunteered.

“Oh.” Jun Wulan’s eyes lit up. “A flying sword personally forged by Elder Liu is really something to look forward to.”

Everyone knew that the flying swords produced

by the Hundred Swords Peak were not only famous in the Black Heaven Sect. In the entire

Crimson Afterglow Continent, they were considered top-notch, let alone those forged by

Liu Ming himself. Even if one had money, one might not be able to buy them.

The elders could not help but look forward to

what kind of flying sword he would forge.

Elder Bai Mei stroked his eyebrows and chuckled.

“It seems Elder Liu is giving a top-notch item. Then, I have a small suggestion regarding the style of the flying sword. If those two little

fellows can receive it, they will definitely be very happy.”

“Oh, what is it?” Liu Ming urged curiously. “Have you forgotten the current situation of

the sect? All of you actually still have the mood to talk about rewarding a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple. Heh, you guys are really generous.”

Shen Bai interrupted the conversation in an

unfriendly tone.

Liu Ming’s expression immediately changed. He was about to retort.

However, Elder Bai Mei took the lead to reply

in time. “Elder Liu, I’ll leave the rewards for those two children to you. As for the sect’s investigation, I suggest using a Heart State Talisman.”

Upon hearing this, all the elders present subconsciously straightened their backs. The Heart State Talisman, as its name

suggested, was a magical artifact that could detect the human heart realm. To become a good cultivator, a good state of

mind was very important.

A Heart State Talisman could even discover the

hidden side of a cultivator that they themselves had never noticed. For example, being a spy. However, there were two sides to everything.

Although the Heart State Talisman could be used from a functional point of view, a Heart State Talisman would reveal the truest side of a person without reservation, which was very unpredictable. After all, everyone had their dark side.

Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary,

no one would use a Heart State Talisman. “I don’t agree to use the Heart State Talisman.” Shen Bai was the first to stand up

and object.

“Objection overruled. The decision has been made.” Liu Ming rebutted without hesitation and stood up. “Alright, that’s all for today’s meeting. Everyone, disperse.” “You simple-minded musclehead, shut up.” At this point, Shen Bai no longer held back. He spoke in a serious tone that did not allow

for rejection, “The authority to use the Heart State Talisman is in the hands of the Sect Master. Now that the sect master is in seclusion, we have no right to use it.”

“Rules are dead, but people are alive. Special treatment during special times. At most, we can act first and report later.” Liu Ming

sneered. “Or is someone worried about being exposed?” “You idiot, let me tell you. I’ve tolerated you for a long time. If you continue to do this, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”

Shen Bai slammed the table in anger. In response, Liu Ming stood up fearlessly. Even Elder Bai Mei could not stop them.

Elder Jun Wulan of the Hundred Flowers Peak placed her hand on her thigh and said gently, “Other than the Sect Master, there’s actually another person who has the authority to use

the Heart State Talisman.”
