Longevity Chronicles
Chapter 506 - 347: The Ancient Seven Strange, Internal Strife within the Evil Sect_2

"Brother Wuxiang, are we just going to return like this?"

"Assassinating the Ancestor Dragon Society's Grain and Grass Officer was supposed to be an easy task, but we failed to accomplish it. When we return to the Overlord Palace, I'm afraid the Young Sect Leader will punish us."

"Don't be fooled by his gentle title of 'Jade-faced Immortal Man'; in fact, he is mad and ruthless. Now that he has teamed up with Elder Yang Longxi, although each of us has our own backers, I fear we won't be able to withstand it."

Upon hearing these words, Qin Wuxiang, without a second thought, serenely replied,

"There's no need to worry."

"We just need to report the truth. The mission initially seemed easy, but now the intelligence should be replenished."

"Within the sect, it should be known that the so-called weak Grain and Grass Officer is actually a bearer of the Toad Sect's secret skilled enough to fight four at once. We were lucky to escape with our lives. If there's to be punishment, it should fall on the intelligence officer, not you or me."

"Eh, that's exactly right. Brother Wuxiang always thinks things through."

Master Baihua's cultivation realm was high, and his divine powers were strong.

However, he was instantly captivated by the imposing presence of Qin Wuxiang, a banished immortal, during their first meeting and repeatedly expressed willingness to help Qin Wuxiang regain his momentum.

In other words, if Qin Wuxiang wished, he could easily lure this Cavernous Mystery strong man back to either the Qin Family or the Alchemist without difficulty.

The former Qin Wuxiang indeed harbored such thoughts.

Now, however, after inwardly murmuring an apology, he directly began to probe for numerous secretive pieces of intelligence.

"By the way, Brother Ying Chun, since Jade-faced Immortal Man Jia Sanyuan is the respected Young Sect Leader of the Seven Evil Sects, he should be able to rule as king over the New Moon Province."

"Why then did he go to our Alchemist sect and take Dragon Rhino Ancestor as his teacher?"

"I am aware that during the process of becoming a disciple, Brother Jia suffered unexpected and agonizing pain at the hands of others, leaving behind injuries that could never heal. The price was shocking, his cultivation path, though more hopeful, also set a limit to his peak; it is unlikely he could ever surpass Elder Dragon Rhino."

"Why would he put his life and fortune into the hands of the Elder? What was the purpose?"

If Master Baihua had been a clever and cunning person, upon hearing Qin Wuxiang speak thus, he would have immediately sensed something amiss.

The attitude of this Alchemist Saint Child when interacting with him had not been like this before.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ying Chun was a person of deep feelings, and was completely bewitched by the phrase "Brother Ying Chun."

He did not detect anything wrong and merely thought that their recent life-and-death experience had brought them closer.

"Is Brother Wuxiang engaging in idle chatter with me because you feel closer now?"

"If that's the case, how could I let you down?"

With that thought, Zhou Ying Chun, fearing that Qin Wuxiang would be unhappy if the conversation dropped, immediately continued to reply.

Eager to converse more with Qin Wuxiang, he did not shy away from elaboration.

He began to tell the story, starting from the ancient times:

"Brother Wuxiang might not know that the Young Sect Leader's actions were also a means of self-preservation."

"Those from other provinces may not understand the intricacies of our Seven Evil Sects. Although our image is now such that calling us a sect of Evil Demons would not be an exaggeration, it wasn't always like this. If we were to talk about our sectarian lineage, we should be counted among heresy and heterodoxy. Swinging between the Side Doors and Evil Demon doctrines has been the tradition of the Seven Evil Sects for many years, and this tradition can be traced back to the seven founding ancestors."

"In the near-ancient times, there were seven Loose Cultivators, known as the 'Ancient Seven Strangeness' in the New Moon Territory, who rose to prominence. They cultivated together and were our sect's ancestors."

"All seven ancestors fell during a great disaster, each leaving behind a lineage. If we were to classify, we could say there were four Righteous and three Evils. For many years, the Four Main Sects dominated, with the Three Evils slightly weaker. When mixed, neither Daoist nor Buddhist sects would recognize us, and we could only be classified as heresy and heterodoxy."

"The Four Main Sects were quite dissatisfied with this and whenever it was their turn to be the Sect Leader, they would demand that the Three Evils erase those Demon Skills from our practice. They wanted to rebrand the Seven Evil Sects, so we could be respected like Beichan Temple and Xuan Dao Sect."

"A few years ago, even when the Sect Leader wasn't from the Four Main Sects, those four masters still made the same demands, even joining forces with many Elders to stage a coup."

"At that time, the Yinming Lineage was in control of the Seven Evils, which was also the lineage of the Young Sect Leader's father."

"Sect Master Jia's cultivation and divine powers were extraordinary, arguably the strongest of the Seven Evil Sects. Yet, facing the coup d'etat, he was powerless. Had there been a few more years, the ways and the doors of the Seven Evil Sects would have completely changed... While it was possible to join the Righteous path, it would also lead to the Seven Evil Sects losing a vast number of divine secret skills, and even the edits to the Three Evil Veins' Great Lifebook Scripture would have been significant."

"How could that be acceptable?"

"The Young Sect Leader couldn't stand this either, so he plotted a strategy and, after overcoming many hardships, managed to become a disciple of Elder Dragon Rhino."

"Thus, our Seven Evil Sects gained the stature we have today."

"If not for the damn Ancestor Dragon Society and Beichan Temple, the Xuan Dao Sect wouldn't dare to rebel, and the Zhao family would have submitted to us long ago."

"Brother Wuxiang need not worry," said Zhou Yingchun. "Although we are in a difficult situation now, Sect Master and Dragon Rhino Ancestor must have strategies to resolve it."

"New Moon Province will ultimately be ours."

"Even beyond New Moon, the Northern Land Provinces won't be able to escape either."

Qin Wuxiang hadn't expected that his casual question, meant as a start for probing for information,

would lead Master Baihua to spill everything, as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Qin Wuxiang remained silent for a moment or two to digest this secret, then after some thought, he asked again,

"Brother Yingchun, we have known each other for some time."

"I haven't hidden my situation from you, currently trapped at a low point, ostracized by others, having the name of a Saint Heir but actually given dirty jobs."

"If I want to make a comeback, I inevitably need to establish some significant achievements, and hence I require secret intelligence unknown to other Alchemist Intermediaries."

"As the Young Master of the Flower Slaughter Lineage, could you possibly help me?"

Qin Wuxiang changed his approach, but his cunning nature hadn't changed.

Seeing Zhou Yingchun's affection for him, he inwardly apologized, yet he did not hesitate to use him.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Master Baihua's face immediately showed signs of being moved and conflicted.

After serious consideration, Zhou Yingchun bit his teeth and revealed,

"I heard a few words from my father when I came; because of the disturbance caused by the Ancestor Dragon Society, many of the Seven Evil Divine Machines were destroyed."

"Consequently, there are not enough Demon Pills, and Dragon Rhino Ancestor, furious, ordered Sect Master to perform Alchemy at all costs, with no regard for Mortals, even if it means slaughtering the entire New Moon Province. Later, whether by using Secret Techniques to spur population growth like piglets, or by relocating people from other provinces, there are many ways to compensate."

"This method is too cruel; even Sect Master hesitated, and the four main lineage masters were even more furious, wanting to rebel completely, but they ended up being imprisoned by Dragon Rhino Ancestor through spatial sealing."

"At the same time, Dragon Rhino Ancestor also passed down a decree: It is said that two Alien Lives have entered New Moon Province, one being Blood Flesh Tai Sui and the other a Mechanical Puppet, both greatly related to the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Machine. If they could be captured, they could make up for the damaged Divine Mechanism and accelerate Alchemy, aiding Dragon Rhino Ancestor's successful descent."

"Brother Wuxiang, if you have a way to find those two Alien Species, it will certainly be a great achievement."

After Zhou Yingchun finished speaking, Qin Wuxiang showed no significant reaction on the surface.

Inside, however, a considerable stir had arisen.

When he was released, Tao Qian had told him that three Alien Species under his command, together with a Kitten Demon, had infiltrated Shangyang City.

If there was a chance, he should take care of them.

Now, hearing Zhou Yingchun's description, he immediately made the connection.

"This is bad!"

"How can I face Daoist Tao if his Elf underlings, related to the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Machine, are captured?"

"I must hurry back to the city and act accordingly."

"If they have not been captured, that's good; if they have, I must save them, even if it costs me my life."

...

Both men had their own thoughts and schemes, which made the conversation lively along the way.

Shortly after, they returned to Shangyang City.

With their statuses, they faced no obstacles, bypassing all restrictions effortlessly.

Soon, they entered the most eye-catching territory in the city, once a famous palace of splendor, now occupied by the Seven Evil Sects as a Demon Cave.

From the outside, one couldn't tell much, but only inside could one see what was truly 'a dance of a group of demons', with evils rampant, a Human World turned into a Demon Cave.

Especially in the main hall, once the throne room of a conquering Overlord.

Now, only to see a miasma, hundreds of Evil Demons celebrating wildly, thousands of naked Dancing Girls moving frenetically, casting luscious shadows, enough to make anyone's Heart Soul sway uncontrollably.

"What a grand revelry without cover!"

Upon entering the hall, Qin Wuxiang and Zhou Yingchun couldn't help but exclaim after witnessing the scene.
