Phantom Shadow Demon Trace

Volume Two: Phantom Shadow Demon Trace, Chapter 14: The Hehuan Sect's Chain Store. There is an old saying: there is no such thing as a field that cannot be plowed, only oxen that are worked to death. Those who come out of the Hehuan Sect are the most difficult terraced fields to plow, the kind that can work an ox until it becomes a dried-up corpse. She was as beautiful as a goddess from the heavens, her delicate clothes spotless. Her attire was quite reserved, unlike the revealing styles of the Hehuan Sect members in the outside world. However, there is a saying about natural-born charm; even though this woman was currently acting in a virtuous manner, brewing tea for her guest, every man who saw her for the first time would still be captivated by her beauty and become her puppet. Bai Qiuran walked to the door and saw the person in white sitting in the courtyard. "Little sister, judging by your appearance, you must be a member of the Righteous Path, right? Were you captured by that senior and turned into a slave?" He walked toward the Joyful Realm with his hands behind his back, strutting like a master. The two thinly-clad Hehuan Sect members standing at the entrance, upon sensing the aura Bai Qiuran intentionally released, became vigilant and blocked his path. Tang Ruowei had long since heard of the Hehuan Sect's reputation during her cultural studies at the Azure Nether Sword Sect. Just like the Righteous Path Alliance, which was spearheaded by the top five sects of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, the Demonic Cultivators also had their own four major sects. Centered around the most powerful Heavenly Demon Sect, these four sects had established a Demonic Sect Alliance. "Hmph, ridiculous." Bai Qiuran asked in confusion. Tang Ruowei told him about what she had learned in her cultural classes, and then Bai Qiuran said, "There is nothing to be afraid of. That was all in the previous generation. Perhaps there are still people in the Hehuan Sect who do that now, but they would never dare to lay a hand on you." "I'm asking, do you even know what kind of place this is?" Tang Ruowei could no longer hold back and whispered, "Please, this is a real-deal brothel! You, a three-thousand-year-old virgin who blushes even when confiscating the Sect Master's hidden stash of erotic novels, why are you so calm about coming to a place like this? Besides, I am a girl, after all. Is it really okay for you to bring me to a place like this?!" The other female cultivator who remained outside greeted her. When the two female cultivators saw them, they were startled, immediately retracting the seductive aura they were emitting. They bowed to Bai Qiuran, and one of them said respectfully, "So it is a senior from the Demonic Sect. What brings you here? Are you here to relieve stress or to harvest essence? If you don't come here often, you might want to try the lower-level disciples first." "I was once a righteous cultivator myself, until I met a Demonic Cultivator and fell into such a state..." Bai Qiuran pulled Tang Ruowei along as they walked, following the road until they arrived in a large city of Dingguo. The remaining three sects took the opportunity to annex the legacy of the Blood God Sect, becoming even stronger. Bai Qiuran produced a red token radiating an evil aura from somewhere. The Hehuan Sect happened to be the one sect among the three remaining Demonic sects that people least wanted to encounter. The other two were at most physically brutal, and they might even let you die quickly, but if you fell into the hands of the Hehuan Sect, male cultivators would die in a daze, while female cultivators would suffer a fate worse than death. One of the female cultivators said coquettishly, "This is the territory of the Hehuan Sect. If you wish to enter, please show your token." Hearing the subtext in their words, Bai Qiuran smiled proudly and said, "Call out the strongest person you have here!" While asking with a soul-stirring voice, the beauty raised her head charmingly, only to see Bai Qiuran standing at the courtyard entrance, looking at her with an expressionless face. The female cultivator wiped away her tears. He seemed to already know the geography of this large city, leading the maiden through various turns until they reached a red-light district. It was said that when righteous cultivators encountered those from the Hehuan Sect, the men would be sucked dry into corpses, while the women would be locked in the Hehuan Sect's dungeons to undergo mysterious brainwashing, eventually emerging as demonic women of the Hehuan Sect—it was terrifying. The Demonic Sects emphasized doing as one pleased, and the Hehuan Sect's combat ability was not weak. In the early years, the demonic women of the Hehuan Sect ran rampant, and wherever they went, men were essentially wiped out, turning into one dried-up corpse after another on the streets. Bai Qiuran replied. Among these four sects, the Blood God Sect's actions were so offensive to the heavens that even the Demonic Cultivators within the Demonic Sect Alliance could not tolerate them. Thus, over a thousand years ago, they were betrayed from within and wiped out by the Righteous Path Alliance. The Hehuan Sect was one of the three Demonic sects that survived to this day. This sect consisted only of women, and they only accepted female disciples. It was rumored that women who practiced the Hehuan Sect's techniques would become increasingly charming. When cultivated to the highest level, every gesture would possess a soul-captivating allure, and when combined with the Hehuan Sect's dance steps, it could even reach the level of seducing Immortals. "Why?" "Sect Master, the person has been brought." Tang Ruowei was extremely agitated, but Bai Qiuran said only one sentence, which calmed her down. Tang Ruowei asked. "Fellow Daoist." So, upon hearing that this was Hehuan Sect territory, Tang Ruowei wanted to run, but Bai Qiuran grabbed her by the arm. At least, that was what their cultural studies teacher, Qing Yun Yuan Jun, had said. "What are you afraid of?" Having seen many battles, these two Hehuan Sect disciples could tell at a glance that Bai Qiuran was likely still a novice. However, they were afraid of angering him, so they didn't point it out, merely offering a very subtle reminder. Tang Ruowei whispered, blushing. "Because you are a disciple of the Azure Nether Sword Sect, and my, Bai Qiuran's, apprentice. Listen well: as one of the five sects of the Righteous Path Alliance, it should be the Hehuan Sect that fears us." "Fuck! Bai Qiuran?" The two female cultivators exchanged glances. One of them went inside for a moment, then came back out and welcomed Bai Qiuran in. Bai Qiuran said, "Watch closely." Tang Ruowei suddenly felt her hands and feet go cold. Bai Qiuran left Tang Ruowei with that instruction, then followed a female cultivator inside. A soft, melodious female voice drifted from within the courtyard; just that one sentence was enough to spark infinite fantasies. The female cultivator stopped at the courtyard gate and said softly. "With no evil thoughts in my heart, what is there for me to be embarrassed about?" Tang Ruowei paused, then nodded and said, "Yes, yes, traveling abroad, bad luck." "Uh..." "Master, what are you going in there for?" "The token is here." "Looking for an acquaintance to get information." "Sigh, we are both people suffering at the ends of the earth." "You wait for me here." Being charming is a good thing; after all, women pursuing beauty is no big deal. The key is that the Hehuan Sect's cultivation method requires the assistance of male Yang energy. "Aren't you embarrassed?" But the three-thousand-year-old iron-willed straight man, Bai Qiuran, remained unmoved, his expression unchanged. "Come in." "Which fellow daoist has the time to come and chat with Xiangxue today?" Seeing Bai Qiuran about to walk straight in, Tang Ruowei hurriedly grabbed him. To return to the story, Bai Qiuran followed the Hehuan Sect female cultivator into the Joyful Realm. They walked through the lobby filled with the scent of hormones, passed the room area filled with lascivious sounds, and arrived at a private courtyard located in the innermost part. "This... alright." "This is the Hehuan Sect's territory." Looking at the women on both sides of the road, dressed in revealing clothes, posturing and singing, Tang Ruowei's face felt hot, but Bai Qiuran kept pulling her along until they reached a large restaurant called the "Joyful Realm." The female cultivator pushed open the door and respectfully stepped aside to make way for Bai Qiuran.
