Chapter 21 The Demonic Sect is indeed full of treacherous and cunning people.
If you're slow in this one step, you'll be slow in every step.
Shen Xingyun was originally the second person to arrive and check the situation.
Startled and hesitant, he was pushed to the back by the other disciples.
After all, once someone takes the lead, all that's left is to follow.
The other disciples couldn't help but curse inwardly as they watched Zhu Ming and Shen Xingyun rush over immediately.
Damn it, why are you running so fast? Doesn't this make us seem insincere?
What they hated even more was Zhu Ming's obsequious act of stuffing the pill into Yueying's mouth.
Showing concern is enough, why are you even offering elixirs?
This forces them to follow suit.
After all, they're not killing you now, and they're even making demands on you. If you do worse than them, wouldn't that be like refusing to accept a favor?
Ordinary disciples of the Sunset Sect are actually quite poor.
But now that others have set an example, they can only follow suit.
This was out of necessity.
Each disciple of the Sunset Sect took out their treasured pills from their robes.
Then, with a pained expression, he pried open Yueying's mouth and, just like in a competition, desperately poured his own pills into Yueying's mouth.
They don't care what Yueying thinks given the current situation.
They could stuff Yueying's mouth full with just a few pills.
Even the disciples behind her, fearing their pills wouldn't fit in Yueying's mouth, kept stuffing more into her mouth even when it was already full.
Shen Xingyun stared in disbelief at what was happening before his eyes.
There are far too many things happening today that are beyond his comprehension.
Given the pre-set premise, each of his conjectures became increasingly outrageous.
Unlike other disciples who joined the Sunset Sect from the beginning and were considered as targets for possession, Shen Xingyun was different.
He actually became a professional later in life.
You should know that in the world today, many ancient demonic sects have gone into hiding, disguising themselves as various independent cultivators and hiding in different places.
Even if he knew that the root of the problem lay with the Sunset Sect, it would still be quite difficult for him to go out and find the Sunset Sect's location.
Shen Xingyun went to great lengths to join the Sunset Sect.
Even with the help of the Mirror of This Life and his own precognitive abilities, it still took him several years to find a senior from the Sunset Sect who had almost been beaten to death outside.
After a series of scheming and intrigues, Shen Xingyun managed to avoid becoming a target for corpse refining and possession, and eventually joined the Sunset Sect through the connections of this senior.
Therefore, Shen Xingyun did not join the Sunset Sect for much longer than Chen Zhengdao.
It's only been two or three years at most.
Since they joined halfway through, it's normal for these people not to trust him, in Shen Xingyun's view.
Therefore, there must be many plans that he won't tell himself.
All of this reinforced Shen Xingyun's suspicions.
We must begin with Zhu Ming, with whom he had just been exchanging barbs and testing each other.
Shen Xingyun could never truly fathom the depths of Zhu Ming's abilities.
You have to understand, he was reborn with his previous memories.
Although he held back, his cultivation progress was always a little behind Zhu Ming's.
Even though he had just revealed a little of his trump card in order to check the situation as soon as possible, he was still not as fast as Zhu Ming.
If that's the case, then so be it. After all, in this world, many people have their own adventures and hidden cards.
But what he couldn't understand the most was that Zhu Ming was clearly no ordinary person.
He even showed a fawning expression towards Chen Zhengdao.
You should know that Zhu Ming is incredibly arrogant, and he never gave Yueying, his senior sister, a kind look before.
Not to mention the other disciples.
Shen Xingyun was well aware of the moral character of these disciples, and the idea of unity, friendship, and caring for others should not exist in the Demonic Sect.
So this is obviously a disguise of the Demonic Sect!
This Demonic Sect is truly a group of treacherous and cunning individuals.
Moreover, the stars in the sky appeared for a very short time, but Shen Xingyun still keenly noticed something different in them.
Shen Xingyun came from a cultivation family that was affiliated with the empire, so the study of astrology was a required course for these cultivation families.
Besides seeing the destructive intent brought by the North Star and its constellations, he also saw something that others could not see.
That is the crape myrtle.
The North Star guards it, and the Purple Star resides within it.
Although the Purple Star only flashed by, he still managed to capture the purple light mixed among the stars of the North Star.
You must know, the crape myrtle is a symbol of emperors!
These evil sects are really good at scheming!
Shen Xingyun also felt that he probably knew what the Demonic Sect was plotting.
First, they somehow found Chen Zhengdao, a Daoist prodigy with exceptional talent.
Then they tricked him into believing that the Sunset Sect was a reputable and righteous sect.
Next, they used Yueying, a country girl, to stir up Chen Zhengdao's romantic troubles.
Finally, they gradually led Chen Zhengdao down the path of corruption.
They should be thinking that without destruction there can be no construction, and taking advantage of Chen Zhengdao's blessing from Ziwei and his destiny to carry out the work of changing dynasties.
Finally, this will completely change the current situation where the Demonic Sect is being suppressed.
However, it was probably these people who messed things up later, which led to the destruction of the world.
In his view, Chen Zhengdao's ability to establish his foundation immediately after emerging further demonstrated the depth of the Demonic Sect's resources, the scale of their investment, and their determination to succeed in this plan.
You know, the Sunset Sect used to dig up graves every day; heaven knows how many good things they found.
Finding some amazing heritages and treasures within is by no means difficult.
You should know that even the body of one of his important fortuitous encounters is currently buried underground in the Sunset Sect.
He also needed to find a way to get to this underground place as soon as possible to complete his inheritance, otherwise Shen Xingyun was afraid that his cultivation would not be able to keep up.
As for the few Sunset Sect masters who ran away earlier...
Shen Xingyun felt a surge of fear at the methods used by the Demonic Sect.
He could already guess what Yueying had said to Chen Zhengdao.
It probably means that they imprison many demons underground.
Then, by taking advantage of some unexpected situations, these division commanders pretended to run away. This would make Chen Zhengdao feel guilty and better deceive him. Secondly, it would also allow these division commanders to come out and hide in the world to plan a bigger conspiracy.
This truly lives up to its reputation as a demonic sect with a history spanning thousands of years!
What a brilliant scheme to kill two birds with one stone! However, with me, Shen Xingyun, here, I will absolutely not let your plan succeed.
So you want to play like this? Then don't blame me, Shen Xingyun, for betraying my master and ancestors.
One of the teachers who ran away earlier was also the master who introduced him to the school.
Shen Xingyun had made up his mind. Later, he would use the Mirror of This Life to kill that guy with Chen Zhengdao's help.
Firstly, he wanted to see if he could expose the true nature of the Demonic Sect to Chen Zhengdao. If not, he could at least slightly influence the Demonic Sect's plans. Moreover, he could also get revenge for the grievances he suffered in order to join the sect.
