The Heavenly Demon Sect Master-Why Don't You Take the Job...

"So it was you."

Bai Qiuran said to Huangfu Feng, "Since you're here, it means the situation at the Heavenly Demon Sect is still within a manageable range."

"Grandmaster."

Li Jinyao also greeted him and asked, "Where is my master?"

"Lingyun?"

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Feng sighed and said, "She has been captured by the Demon Race."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuran, Su Xiangxue, and Li Jinyao were all somewhat surprised. Li Jinyao hurriedly asked, "What happened? How did Master get arrested?"

"This..."

Huangfu Feng sighed, "Insufficient strength..."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more."

Li Jinyao waved her hand and said, "I understand, she was sold out, right?"

To be precise, Lingyun betrayed herself.

Huangfu Feng raised his hand and said, "You all come in first, we'll talk inside."

The group followed him into the Heavenly Demon Sect Mountain Protection Array. Huangfu Feng, who was not Arts, tried to patch up the breach in the Mountain Protection Array with clumsy methods for a long time, but he couldn't close the gap. Finally, he got frustrated and pulled out his knife, intending to use his sword energy net to block the gap.

"I'll do it."

Feeling a little embarrassed under the watchful eyes of Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue, Li Jinyao stepped forward and used magic to repair the Formation.

Seeing her skillful movements and abundant True Essence, Huangfu Feng was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Eh, Jinyao, you've already broken through to the Mahayana Stage?"

"Yes."

Li Jinyao smiled gently, concealing her achievements and fame.

"Indeed, he's more capable than your master."

Huangfu Feng nodded and then turned his head away.

Seeing his expression, Bai Qiuran couldn't help but ask, "I'm telling you, aren't you worried about Ji Lingyun at all? She's your Personal Disciple you've raised since she was a child, she's not much different from your own daughter, is she?"

"No problem."

Huangfu Feng replied, "Because Jueyunzi Sect Master and the others have already led people to rescue him."

"Hmm? That kid was with you before?"

Bai Qiuran asked in astonishment, "Tell me exactly what happened."

"There's not much to say... It's just that the Demon Race attacked, we lost, we were crushed in one wave, and then the Demon Race swept through, destroying many sects along the way. Many Elder Sect Master from our super sects were killed in battle or captured."

Huangfu Feng is really not a good storyteller.

"To be more specific, how did you get crushed?"

Bai Qiuran frowned and asked, "I know the strength of the Demon Race and your strength. How could you lose so easily? And what about the Mountain Protection Array of my Azure Nether Sword Sect? That time the Thunder Beast attacked and broke our Formation. Later I felt it wasn't safe, but I personally modified it. How could it not even withstand a mere Demon Race Clan?"

"Because the Demon Race have become stronger."

Huangfu Feng replied, "This time, many Great Demon came, and they destroyed the joint defense line of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army and the Yin Ling Sect in the Western Lands in one fell swoop."

"The Great Demon? How many have come this time?"

"Let me think... there should be around a few dozen."

After thinking for a moment, Huangfu Feng said.

"Dozens..."

Don't be fooled by the fact that Bai Qiuran killed Great Demon as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs when he went to the Land Where Gods Fell. Great Demon are truly rare species among Demon Race. Even the weakest Great Demon is at least at the Mahayana Stage Cultivators. The strongest known Great Demon, like the corpse Bai Qiuran encountered in the Earth Immortal Cave Abode, probably had the strength of a peak Houtu Realm cultivator in life.

This is indeed a monster beyond the current version in the Cultivation World.

"So, it's not your fault you lost after all."

Bai Qiuran sighed, "Then what about the Azure Nether Sword Sect Mountain Protection Array?"

He was well aware of the power of the grand formation he had personally modified; it was more than capable of withstanding dozens of Great Demons.

"Because this time, the Demon Race have not only become stronger, but also smarter."

Huangfu Feng replied, "In the past, the Demon Race were irrational, incapable of communication, and Mobile natural disasters. Wherever they went, they slaughtered, leaving nothing behind. That's why the Human Race of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou were so closely united and fought to the death. But this time, after conquering a place, they will try to persuade, win over, and even plant spies to instigate rebellion. That's how the Azure Nether Sword Sect was conquered. At the start of the war, several Executive Elders and disciples secretly broke several key points and shut down the great formation."

"Are the strongest fortresses often breached from within?"

Bai Qiuran's expression was very unpleasant.

"There should still be some survivors within the Azure Nether Sword Sect. I've heard that our Human Race compatriots in the other conquered territories have been captured and kept by the Demon Race. If we're fast enough, we should be able to rescue them."

Huangfu Feng said, "It's just in time that Sword Ancestor has returned, giving us hope for a counterattack."

As the two spoke, Li Jinyao's repairs to the Heavenly Demon Sect Mountain Protection Array gradually came to an end. Under her exquisite magic, the Heavenly Demon Sect's sky was once again covered by a blood-red barrier, and the barrier had become even stronger than before.

Huangfu Feng watched in amazement. Seeing Li Jinyao land on the ground after finishing her cultivation, he said to her, "Jinyao, your technique is far superior to mine. I think you should be the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect..."

Li Jinyao rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

"I won't do it. Being the Sect Master isn't free at all. I want to pursue my true love."

She glanced at Bai Qiuran, then, seeing Bai Qiuran's bewildered look, continued, "Besides, Master isn't dead. Didn't Sect Master Jueyunzi go to rescue her? Why did you just strip her of her position Sect Master?"

"Well, I've been thinking about it..."

Huangfu Feng and replied, "I think Lingyun is indeed still somewhat lacking in strength and needs more training..."

Listening to the conversation between the master and Disciple's Grand-disciple, Su Xiangxue, supporting Bai Qiuran's shoulder, sighed, "Suddenly, I feel that my master doesn't seem so repulsive anymore."

"The true nature of the Demon Sect is like this... Your master only used you as a tool back then."

After thinking for Bai Qiuran said, "People like Huangfu Feng and Miss Li are alright; at least they have feelings for Ji Lingyun... even if those feelings are a bit hardcore."

Over there, Li Jinyao once again firmly rejected her grandmaster's invitation. Helpless, Huangfu Feng could only say, "Then at least become Elder. Anyway, it doesn't cost you any money. Even just having a title is good. Otherwise, wouldn't the Heavenly Demon Sect have been supporting you for nothing all these years?"

"All right."

Even with such a small request, Li Jinyao frowned and thought for a long time before reluctantly agreeing, "Then I'll reluctantly agree to Grandmaster's request."

The key point is that Huangfu Feng wasn't angry at such disrespectful words, but calmly told Li Jinyao where to register her next.

"Okay, okay."

Seeing this, Bai Qiuran quickly interrupted their conversation and asked Huangfu Feng, "You said that brat Jueyunzi led people to rescue the hostages, so where are Sect Master Ji Lingyun and the others being held?"
