This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 126: Take Responsibility for This Blame Without Fuss!

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Take Responsibility for This Blame Without Fuss!

Ying Tianxing being a Devouring Spirit Sect member did catch Liang Yi off guard; after all, he was a senior’s son. But this also proved that the Secret Techniques of the Devouring Spirit Sect were so well-hidden even a Seventh Realm Cultivator would fail to detect them without a thorough Investigation. No wonder the Mystic Bureau could search day and night to no avail.

Having a spy as a direct superior, it’d be a miracle if anything was actually discovered!

But Liang Yi was quite happy, as he now had a valid reason to chop someone down in broad daylight; how could he not be thrilled?

Previously, he had been contemplating how to kill Ying Tianxing carefully, using Immaculate Sword Technique to kill without incurring karma, then to have He Zhiqing conceal his actions with Heavenly Mechanism. Wouldn’t shoving the blame onto the Devouring Spirit Sect afterward be delightful?

Now, things were much simpler for Liang Yi. He didn’t even have to shift the blame; the Devouring Spirit Sect was willingly jumping into the pot!

He tossed aside the first black-robed man and woke up the second one to intimidate him all over again.

However, to Liang Yi and others’ surprise, this black-robed man turned out to be stubborn and unyielding, choosing death over submission. Unafraid of death, nor a fate worse than death, he wore a defiant expression of ’do whatever you want’!

"What’s with him?" Liang Yi felt helpless and picked up the first black-robed man to point at the second.

"Chief Liang might not be aware, but there are three types of people in the Devouring Spirit Sect: those who joined willingly, those with twisted minds, and those cultivated from a young age."

"I belong to the category that was either enchanted or brainwashed into loyalty by Vermilion Bird Envoys or their subordinates. This person, however, was raised by the Devouring Spirit Sect from a young age and was deeply instilled with their doctrines, making him extremely loyal."

Su Youyi looked at her senior brother, hesitating to speak.

"What’s the matter?"

"Senior brother, could this man be fooling us? Does he look like someone with a twisted and enchanted mind?" Su Youyi couldn’t help but find the man’s behavior shady.

"Aiya, Fairy Su, I’m not fooling you! You might not believe this, but I was fortunate enough to have met a high monk from Desert North Zen who taught me a Meditation Scripture to recite daily. After I was captured by the Devouring Spirit Sect, it was this scripture that saved my mind from being swayed, otherwise, I’d be as loyal to them now as can be."

"Later I thought, even if I ran away, I’d have nowhere to go. Considering the sizable influence of the Devouring Spirit Sect, I decided to stay and blend in." The first black-robed man was afraid they wouldn’t believe him and spilled everything.

Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei were startled; this NPC was really cunning—a true talent!

Liang Yi stroked his chin; this guy was interesting.

"Recite the scripture; let’s hear it."

"Sincerely I take refuge in Sumeru’s Sovereign, bowing with my head and face to the sacred seven tally, now I extol the great Pranidhana, hoping for your compassionate protection..."

Without any hesitation, the first black-robed man knew his life was at stake—what use was the scripture now?

Surrounded by Buddhist chants, both Liang Yi and Su Youyi felt their minds clear up, indeed a clean and clear Conception from the Zen school.

Even Liang Yi could sense that, with his own comprehension, he could add a new Skill to his skill panel if he wanted to.

But there was no need!

Liang Yi still decided against it. Although the Meditation Scripture was somewhat useful, compared to his Qinglian Creation, it was like comparing two worlds apart, not to mention it was incomplete and therefore useless to learn.

To put it bluntly, the quality was too low for his interest!

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for learning the skill [Calming Incantation] (Incomplete)."

Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei were overjoyed; following a bigwig meant getting meat to eat—receiving a skill just like that?

Opening their panels, the purple skill was strikingly visible, and its effect was a passive skill—reducing the power of skills that negatively affect the player’s Divine Soul.

The only slight disappointment was that it was an incomplete skill with a Skill Level cap of 4.

"Starting off with a purple skill!"

Their eyes lit up together; if used during player vs player (PvP), wouldn’t it reduce the duration of Divine Soul control skills?

Thinking of those players on the forum flaunting after paying to learn a few white skills from the martial arts hall, Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei couldn’t stop beaming with delight.

Making silent fortunes feels oh so good! It only cemented their resolve to cling tightly to the coattails of their powerful patron.

With his mouth sealed, the black-robed figure Yi was nearly bursting with rage as he glared at the betrayer, the black-robed figure Jia, as if he were denouncing a treacherous dog!

"Hey, stop staring at me like that, it’s making me feel embarrassed," black-robed Jia complained, feeling a bit wronged. You may not want to live, but I sure do!

"Swish!"

A dazzling sword light flashed, and black-robed Yi’s head fell to the ground.

Seeing that black-robed Yi was no longer able to provide information, Liang Yi didn’t bother with further questions and simply chose to cash in on his final value.

Liang Yi glanced at his status panel and curled his lips – the experience given by such low-level mobs of just over twenty was really pitiful.

He checked the corpse but found nothing of note, likely due to the lower rank of the deceased, not even the Devouring Spirit Scripture that the Devouring Spirit Sect usually dropped.

"Senior brother, what about this one, should we chop this one too?"

Su Youyi pointed her Spirit Sword at black-robed Jia, now quite used to the idea of chopping down anyone from the Devouring Spirit Sect she encounters.

"Fairy Su, have mercy, can’t I turn over a new leaf?" black-robed Jia pleaded.

"Prohibition? Poison? Use whatever you want on me! I won’t say a word against it!"

Black-robed Jia felt the terrifying murderous intent emanating from Su Youyi and was scared out of his wits!

"This one really has no shame!" Bai Xiaomo hurriedly gave this coward a full HD photoshoot. Having been in the game for this long, it was her first time seeing such a shameless and unprincipled NPC; she made sure to document it.

Feeling the inquiring gaze of his junior sister, Liang Yi also felt a headache coming on, not sure what to do with this guy.

He had neither prohibitions nor poisons to use, and killing him seemed like a waste, it was so hard to come across such a unique individual from the Devouring Spirit Sect.

The previous one, Yin Lu, gave up nothing and was now gathering dust inside the ring.

"If you want to live, don’t resist!"

After some thought, Liang Yi placed his hand on the shoulder of black-robed Jia, spending some experience to congeal a bit of Qinglian aura, which he then funneled into the proximity of black-robed Jia’s Divine Soul within his Spirit Platform.

Su Youyi retracted her Spirit Sword and watched with bright eyes as her senior brother began to bamboozle this fool. She knew from the upward curl of his mouth that he was concocting some mischievous plan.

"Ever heard of the Abyss Bone-Melting Needle?"

Hearing Liang Yi’s question, black-robed Jia shook his head blankly. What’s that? Is it famous?

"Tsk, truly ignorant! Ever heard of the Abyss?" Liang Yi’s face showed impatience, as if explaining to someone so uninformed was a huge waste of time.

Black-robed Jia nodded his head.

"Do you know who my master is?"

"The Banished Immortal, Chen Hua!" Even someone as ignorant as black-robed Jia knew of Banished Immortal Chen Hua.

Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei quickly took note of this name – clearly another golden opportunity, and they resolved to keep their eyes wide open in the future.

"My master’s might is unparalleled, venturing into the Abyss as if into a land with no man’s presence. The trace of demonic air he brought back from the Abyss was turned into a weapon – this Abyss Bone-Melting Needle, which specifically targets the Divine Soul."

"Do you feel like there’s a needle piercing your brain right now?"

"Yes, yes, Chief Liang, have mercy!" Black-robed Jia was panicking; he really felt an acute pain in his head like a needle piercing, growing more intense by the moment.

He feared if this continued, he would literally die of pain.

Meanwhile, just outside of black-robed Jia’s field of vision, Su Youyi was already struggling to hold back her laughter – her senior brother really was too devilish!
