The Vast Heaven Sect Is So Poor We Can't Put Food on the Table?

Chu Cheng, lying on the bed, was completely wrapped in festive red bandages.

Wrapped up like a silkworm, Chu Cheng moved to a more comfortable position, his eyes filled with determination.

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! You treacherous dog Chu Xinghe, one day when I, Chu Cheng, ascend to the heavens and attain the Supreme throne, I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold!"

"Some are born only to adapt to this world, but I, Chu Cheng, was born to change it. Today's trials are merely the accumulation of tomorrow's achievements. No one can bring me down. No matter how arduous the trials, they are just a small part of the path to the Supreme Dao for me, Chu Cheng!"

"Bang..." The door was kicked open.

Ma Liang stood at the door, so angry his pants were almost wet!

Who the hell is this? Why would there be such a shameless person in the outer sect?!

Soon, when Ma Liang saw Chu Cheng, he knew the answer.

Ma Liang certainly recognized Chu Cheng; this guy was from the same hometown as Senior Brother Xinghe.

Ma Liang never expected that Chu Cheng scoundrel, would remain so unmotivated even after being banished to the outer sect, and would so openly insult Senior Brother Xinghe?

You're not Chu Cheng! You're a beast!

Do you, Chu Cheng, know how benevolent and righteous Senior Brother Xinghe is?

If it weren't for Senior Brother Xinghe... you would have been expelled from the sect long ago... you might even have been killed, you know that?

In other words, Senior Brother Xinghe and righteous... but Ma Liang really can't stand it...

Without much verbal communication or any prior discussion, Ma Liang and Liu Bo exchanged a glance, and everyone understood each other's thoughts.

The scene then became very harmonious...

"The Fengdu Grand Formation! Ten Thousand Ghosts Devour the Heart!"

"Ten Thousand Ghosts Corrode the Bones!"

"Ten Thousand Ghosts Destroy the Souls!"

"Ten thousand ghosts..."

No one knows how long this ordeal of the Ten Thousand Ghosts series lasted, but when Ma Liang finished, he was panting heavily and told Liu Bo, who was also panting heavily, that this Chu Cheng was even more difficult to deal with than that Tian Qingquan!

Liu Bo was also confiding in his Senior Brother Ma Liang... Senior Brother Ma Liang, finally someone understands me.

They only see me educating Chu Cheng, but they have no idea how much effort I, Liu Bo, put into educating Chu Cheng every day. If it weren't for Senior Brother Xinghe constantly giving me pills to support me, I probably wouldn't have been able to keep going.

Ma Liang was also moved by Senior Brother Xinghe's good intentions; to protect his fellow townsman, Senior Brother Xinghe truly went to great lengths.

However, please rest assured, Senior Brother Xinghe. I know that Senior Brother Xinghe is definitely using this opportunity to train his fellow villagers and guide them onto the right path. I, Ma Liang, will definitely train Senior Brother Xinghe's fellow villagers well every day in the outer sect in the future, and I will never let Senior Brother Xinghe down.

After this arduous and demanding training session, Liu Bo personally arranged a banquet for his Senior Brother Ma Liang at the outer gate.

After the banquet, Liu Bo personally arranged accommodations for his senior brother Senior Brother Ma Liang, originally intending to give him the largest room.

As a result, Senior Brother Ma Liang refused on the spot, saying that he wanted to live next to Chu Cheng so that he could help Senior Brother Xinghe hone his fellow townsman and help him get on the right path as soon as possible.

Many outer disciples admired Senior Brother Ma Liang's benevolent and noble character.

No wonder Senior Brother Ma Liang is Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant... Compared to Senior Brother Ma Liang, we still have a long way to go...

At the Spirit Crane Palace, Chu Xinghe sipped a mixed fruit drink and sighed, "When others are down on their luck, everyone pushes them down, but when I'm down, everyone just pushes me back up! What's with this?!"

The Grand Elder just arrived and sternly told me to spend less time wandering around the various palaces from now on. He also solemnly declared, "Do you think I don't understand the little schemes of the Sect Master and the heads of the various palaces?"

So after the Grand Elder returned, he instructed the disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace to inform all the palaces that Spirit Crane Palace was having difficulty refining medicine recently, and Vast Heaven Sect was also struggling financially, so there was no money to purchase medicinal materials and no intention to refine pills. Therefore, no one should think about taking a single pill from the Spirit Crane Palace recently.

Normally, if the Grand Elder said this, the heads of all the palaces would jump out and criticize him, but this time, the heads of all the palaces remained silent... It is said that the Grand Elder even stopped the sect leader's pills... The sect leader also remained silent...

The following day, Chu Xinghe was promoted from an ordinary inner disciple to an elite disciple of the Spirit Crane Palace by the Grand Elder for his excellent performance in eating six bowls of braised pork in the kitchen...

Despite the Grand Elder's shameless behavior, the other palaces remained silent...

Chu Xinghe, the newly promoted elite disciple of the Spirit Crane Palace, felt somewhat awkward wearing the attire befitting a direct disciple...

It wasn't that Chu Xinghe didn't want to change; it was just that when he went to ask Senior Brother Shen Chun for the elite disciple's attire, Senior Brother Shen Chun looked heartbroken.

"Junior Brother Xinghe... didn't you see that we've run out of pills? Our Vast Heaven Sect is so poor lately we can't even afford to eat... where would we get the money to buy you new clothes...? When the sect is so impoverished, how can an elite disciple like you demand so much? You should be considerate of the sect! So just make do with the personal disciple's robes for now..."

Just as Chu Xinghe was completely bewildered, Shen Chun pointed at Mu Xiaoqi in the distance and angrily shouted, "Hey you, Mu Xiaoqi... what are you doing... I told you to replace the roof of the Medicine King Palace with a new golden one, and I requested that each brick use two taels of gold, but you only used one and a half taels? Hurry up and redo it!"

Watching Senior Brother Shen Chun order cartloads of gold to be pushed into the Medicine King Palace, Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears... "My Vast Heaven Sect is really damn poor!"

Elite disciple Chu Xinghe experienced a day of hardship within the sect. "My Vast Heaven Sect is so poor now that no matter how much I beg, they refuse to give me the treatment of an elite disciple, insisting on continuing to provide me with the same privileges as a personal disciple..."

At the Haotian Palace, the deputy sect leader sealed off the surrounding area once again and activated the communication command.

The message had just been issued, and before Wu Xingyun could even speak, Yan Shoujing became anxious.

"Demonic Emperor, I swear to God, I haven't done anything recently. I've been working diligently at the Vast Heaven Sect, I absolutely haven't done anything!"

Upon hearing Yan Shoujing's words, Wu Xingyun used more than twenty verbs to express his disapproval of Yan Shoujing's female relatives.

You fucking know you didn't do anything?

Do you know you're a spy?

When you infiltrated the Vast Heaven Sect, you pointed to the sky, indicating that you were a professional at destroying sects...

With you around, the Vast Heaven Sect is doomed!

But what the hell is this about you not doing anything at the Vast Heaven Sect?

But thinking about it carefully... if Yan Shoujing really dared to do anything, I don't know if Yan Shoujing would be scared or not, but I'm definitely scared...

So Yan Shoujing isn't wrong. As long as he didn't do anything, he's already contributing to our Demonic Sect...

However, it was not Wu Xingyun's intention to find Yan Shoujing today. At this moment, Wu Xingyun handed the communication token to Tantai Jing beside him.

"Vice Sect Leader Yan, how have you been?"

"Tantai Jing!"

"Hehe... Vice Sect Leader Yan, don't be nervous. This time, I'm going to join forces with you. If we work together, we'll definitely inflict heavy losses on the Vast Heaven Sect!"

Then Tantai Jing revealed his purpose for the visit.

The events in the Great Moon Kingdom have shaken the world, and the Demonic Sect is naturally aware of them as well.

However, compared to the other parties, Tantai Jing was furious because the Fengdu Token, which was repeatedly mentioned throughout the entire Great Moon Kingdom incident, was actually his own.

But now the Fengdu Token belongs to someone else, but it has also been popularized and developed by Ma Liang.

The current Fengdu Token, combined with the Ghost Emperor of City of Dark Moon, has reached its peak effect.

But to elaborate... the Ghost Emperor of City of Dark Moon was originally mine...

So these past two days, Wu Xingyun's gaze towards him has been really weird; it looks like he's looking at a nemesis of the Demonic Sect Bane...

However, Tantai Jing immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "I, Tantai Jing, am not Demonic Sect Bane like Yan Shoujing."

I, Tantai Jing, have devoted myself entirely to the Demonic Sect, even unto death. I've died for the Demonic Sect before, you know that?

You call me the Demonic Sect Bane? How can you face me after I've died?

So, in order to prove himself, Tantai Jing racked his brains these past few days and finally came up with a plan.

Let's start with the Fengdu Grand Formation.

Is there anyone in this world who understands the Fengdu Grand Formation better than myself?

The Fengdu Grand Formation is my most precious treasure, the Yin Soul Patriarch. Although Fengdu Grand Formation was damaged by the Nine Heavens Soaring Cloud Seal, it will not be fundamentally damaged, but it will still need some time to recover.

This was precisely Tantai Jing's opportunity. Tantai Jing possessed a treasure called the Soul-Devouring Banner, which was originally part of the Fengdu Grand Formation. After the Fengdu Grand Formation was stolen, the Soul-Devouring Banner became useless.

However, the Soul-Devouring Banner is now useful.

Tantai Jing explained in detail the uses of the Soul-Devouring Banner.

Now that the Fengdu Grand Formation is damaged, if the Soul-Devouring Banner -Soul-Devouring Banner could be given to Ma Liang, allowing Ma Liang to activate the Fengdu Grand Formation, then the power of the Soul-Devouring Banner would initially seem to enhance the Fengdu Grand Formation, and could even greatly increase its power, making it even more terrifying.

However, the Soul-Devouring Banner has been modified by Tantai Jing. It seems to help the Fengdu Grand Formation, but once it reaches a certain point, it will completely devour the Fengdu Grand Formation, causing all the vengeful ghosts in the Fengdu Grand Formation to go berserk and enter a killing mode. In this way, the Fengdu Grand Formation will backfire on the entire Vast Heaven Sect!

After listening to Tantai Jing's story, Yan Shoujing was so excited he almost jumped up.

If this weren't a summons, Yan Shoujing would definitely have given Tantai Jing a good Tantai Jing.

This plan is truly insidious!

By Fengdu Grand Formation, Ma Liang would also be rendered useless, and the Fengdu Grand Formation could even be used to retaliate against the Vast Heaven Sect —a win-win situation!

Ma Liang was once his nominal disciple, so it was only right for him to destroy him personally!

After hanging up the call with Tantai Jing, Yan Shoujing was in high spirits...

Wu Xingyun, did you think all those failures before were my fault, Yan Shoujing's fault?

Have you considered that the problem might be Wu Xingyun's own doing?

Look at Tantai Jing... how safe was his use of the Soul-Devouring Banner to trick the Vast Heaven Sect!

If Tantai Jing and I team up, we'll absolutely dominate!

Ma Liang, is it...? I'll personally destroy you this time, Yan Shoujing!

And you call yourself Chu Xinghe's most trusted confidant? Hmph... This time, Tantai Jing and I will destroy your Ma Liang as easily as slaughtering a dog!

If Ma Liang is destroyed, Chu Xinghe will lose his right-hand man. Moreover, Yan Shoujing has planned to use Chu Xinghe to hand over the Soul-Devouring Banner to Ma Liang, thereby destroying Ma Liang. This will also be a heavy blow to Chu Xinghe!

Xiao Cui'er, wait for me! This time, I'm teaming up with Tantai Jing, and we're absolutely certain of victory!
