This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 297 - 287: I, Liang Yi, am not using cheats!

Chapter 297: Chapter 287: I, Liang Yi, am not using cheats!

Complete Heaven Sect’s cultivation techniques are peculiar and the difficulty of practice is very high; without talent, it might be impossible to even get started. And the path of Sword Cultivators from Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool is recognized as extremely challenging, suitable only for those with immense determination, thus it is known as the pinnacle of perseverance.

However, for this group of homebodies from the Complete Heaven Sect, having such a thing at home is not surprising at all for Liang Yi. In the previous life, which otaku’s home didn’t have a bunch of their own favorite things?

"Quick, point out to me where the Red Marriage Star is, let me see when I can find my own little female cat meow," Uncle Orangey tugged at Liang Yi’s hair, looking up at the countless stars inside the room.

"What are you thinking about? The star map in this room is just for Complete Heaven Sect disciples to practice with, divination and fortune-telling don’t rely on this at all," Liang Yi flicked Uncle Orangey’s forehead, trying to dispel his unrealistic thoughts.

"Besides, in this world, there are only you and your dad as the only two cats, where am I supposed to find a little female cat for you?"

"Meow!" Uncle Orangey let out a mournful howl, ruthlessly exposed to the reality by Liang Yi, touching a pain that came back to haunt him.

How tragic, while others remain single by their own merit, he was born doomed to be single.

An Mujing blinked her eyes, feeling very curious about this young master of the Demon Clan, not only because she had never seen such a demonic beast, but also because he was inexplicably cute.

Ignoring the self-absorbed Uncle Orangey, Liang Yi waved his hand, shifting An Mujing’s attention away from Uncle Orangey.

"Do you know anything about that Elder Fu?" Staring into An Mujing’s eyes, Liang Yi rubbed his fingers together, opting to be straight to the point.

Su Youyi sat beside Liang Yi, also looking somewhat solemnly at An Mujing; they needed more information about this Elder Fu.

"I don’t know much, he had already been a Sect Elder before I became a True Disciple, and I’m not quite sure when he started being sent to Taibai City as the Acquisition Elder."

An Mujing sat there, detailing all the information she knew about Fu Changxing bit by bit.

Because An Mujing usually didn’t pay attention to these matters, or rather, Complete Heaven Sect disciples rarely cared about anything other than cultivation, she didn’t know much. Within the short time it took an incense stick to burn, the stars on the Star Map hadn’t even completed one full cycle, An Mujing had already told them all she knew about Fu Changxing.

"Is that all?" Liang Yi pinched his chin with one hand, other hand unconsciously tapping his fingertip on the table.

"If that’s the case, the likely time frame for his defection to the Devouring Spirit Sect might have been the incident you mentioned, where he was transferred out of the sect after returning from a trip."

"No, that’s not right, he wasn’t twisted by a Divine Soul; he’s been a dog for the Abyss since the beginning of his cultivation," Uncle Orangey said seriously, sitting upright on the table and pointing out the mistake in Liang Yi’s analysis.

"Oh? How so?" Liang Yi was curious as to how Uncle Orangey had made this determination.

By now they had some understanding of the ways the Devouring Spirit Sect infiltrated an organization. One method was, like Ying Tianxing’s, when someone’s mind was twisted by the Vermilion Bird, leading them to devote their wholehearted loyalty to the Devouring Spirit Sect and contribute diligently.

"That guy, the Abyssal Aura on him was so strong I almost threw up, definitely not something that could rub off in a short time. It has to be several hundred years old at least," boasted Uncle Orangey with pride and certainty.

"Your nose is quite sharp to even sniff out a few hundred years," Liang Yi was a bit surprised; this Uncle Orangey really was multifunctional.

Su Youyi blinked, gently poking Uncle Orangey’s slightly damp nose, curious about how he had detected it.

"Devouring Spirit Sect?" Shock flashed in An Mujing’s eyes. Was it that infamous Devouring Spirit Sect she was hearing about?

"Yes, it’s the one you’re thinking of. The conspiracy that was planned in Qingliang City before was by the Devouring Spirit Sect; I didn’t expect to encounter them here," replied Su Youyi with a nod and briefly filled in An Mujing about the last incident in Qingliang City.

"No, I have to notify the Sect Master!" An Mujing stood up abruptly, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, her expression somewhat anxious, ready to inform Sect Master Fang Zhi about this matter.

After learning of the existence of the Devouring Spirit Sect previously, Sect Master Fang Zhi had meticulously checked for suspects throughout the sect but had not expected that Fu Changxing would remain undiscovered.

"Hold on, don’t get agitated," Su Youyi caught An Mujing’s hand, gently patting it twice to calm her down. "We didn’t contact the senior Fang immediately upon leaving because some things are still unclear, and whether there are other Devouring Spirit Sect members within Complete Heaven Sect is also unknown; this matter needs careful consideration."

Su Youyi gazed at An Mujing steadily, her voice like the waves on the surface of the sea, calm on the surface but with an undercurrent of strength. This evident emotion directly affected the True Disciple of Complete Heaven Sect, helping calm the turmoil in her mind that the sudden news had brought.

"What should we do now?" Whether it was An Mujing or other disciples of Complete Heaven Sect, few specialized in cunning and strategy, although they were indeed smarter than average people.

"It is indeed crucial to inform senior Fang about this matter, hence you must return to the sect right now and directly see senior Fang Zhi in person to tell him about this," said Liang Yi, who had been contemplating with his hand propping his head and his eyes closed until now finally opened his eyes.

"As for the rest, don’t worry about it. I will figure out a way to determine whether there are other Devouring Spirit Sect members within Complete Heaven Sect. Right now, the priority is to eliminate the hidden danger that is Fu Changxing."

"What about you two?" An Mujing heard that Liang Yi and Su Youyi didn’t plan to return to the sect with her.

"Me and my junior sister need to stay here to hold off Fu Changxing and, at the same time, lead him into the trap we’ve set up." A glimmer of light flashed in Liang Yi’s eyes, making him appear even more radiant than all the stars around him in Su Youyi’s eyes, shining brighter than all the stars.

"How can this be? This is an internal oversight of Complete Heaven Sect; how can we let the two of you take such a risk?" An Mujing’s voice suddenly rose by an octave, and her hands slammed on the table, firmly opposing this proposal.

The racket almost deafened old Mr. Tangerine, who hurriedly scampered from Liang Yi’s lap onto another table.

"Yikes, you’re so loud," Liang Yi frowned with his fingers plugged in his ears as he looked at An Mujing disapprovingly.

"Uh... I lost my composure," An Mujing’s fair and delicate face suddenly turned red, but then she realized this wasn’t the time to discuss it. "If someone has to stay behind, it should be me. You two go and inform Sect Master Fang."

"At this moment, Senior Fang should be completely absorbed in a matter of great importance to him, and ordinary communication talismans might not even reach him, so you’ll have to take the trouble to alert He Shixiong or Yu Shijie in person," Liang Yi said, his expression suddenly stern.

"Apart from these three, make sure not to tell anyone else about this matter."

"Don’t worry about the two of us. Even if my own life is in danger, I won’t let my junior sister be in harm’s way," Liang Yi said with a light smile.

"Slap." A sweeping palm flew over Mr. Tangerine’s head, scattering a few tangerine-colored cat hairs before landing squarely on Liang Yi’s back.

"Meow meow meow?"

"Shixiong!"

Su Youyi widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Liang Yi with a mix of anger and a trace of mist in her eyes.

She didn’t want to hear Shixiong talk like that, especially since she had been trying so hard to protect him.

"Uh, my apologies, my bad..." Liang Yi sensed he’d blundered and hastily rose to comfort his junior sister.

"Ho ho ho, there’s trouble now, meow!" Mr. Tangerine licked his paw, grooming the fur on his head before squatting on one side, taking glee in Liang Yi’s predicament.

Looking at his junior sister who was turning her head away from him, Liang Yi felt truly guilty inside.

Thinking back, it seemed that every time his junior sister was upset, it was because of him. Against others, she was like a Sword Immortal, but he was her soft spot.

An Mujing, watching from the sidelines, also felt a bit of admiration, somewhat envious of their bond.

"You promise!" Su Youyi distrusted her habitually offending brother and demanded that Liang Yi swore an oath.

"I promise to cherish my life and never cause my junior sister to worry again," Liang Yi, left with no other choice, raised his hand to swear.

"Don’t talk like that again next time!" Su Youyi finally softened her expression when she saw her senior brother making the promise.

"Mhm, for sure!" Liang Yi didn’t care about the future; the important thing was to appease his junior sister for now.

"Tch." Mr. Tangerine observed everything, fully understanding Liang Yi’s intentions. Despite his serious words now, if he and Little Youyi were to face danger together, Liang Yi would undoubtedly prioritize getting Little Youyi to safety first.

Only after seeing that his junior sister had calmed down did Liang Yi heave a sigh of relief and turn to An Mujing to say:

"You go and notify Sect Master Fang to set up the trap, junior sister and I will lure the enemy into it. This plan is that simple, no problem, right?"

"Oh... no... no problem." Although An Mujing was still somewhat worried about Liang Yi and Su Youyi, seeing their resolute expressions, she could only agree.

"Then it’s decided. Be careful not to let others notice you and return directly to the sect. We’ll hold off Fu Changxing here and wait for your message."

"Alright, please be careful!"

With everything decided, An Mujing, not one to hesitate, simply left them with a final reminder.

"Sister An, be cautious of others in the sect," Su Youyi warned, asking An Mujing to stay vigilant.

"No problem, I’m off!"

"Mr. Tangerine, are there any members of the Devouring Spirit Sect around?"

"Let me sniff." Mr. Tangerine hopped onto Liang Yi’s head, lifting his nose for a deep breath. Relying on his exceptionally keen sense of smell, Mr. Tangerine tracked all scents within a hundred miles, carefully discerning if there were any Devouring Spirit Sect members among them.

"I don’t know about the Devouring Spirit Sect, but there’s no Abyssal Aura," Mr. Tangerine shrugged, wiping his drool before jumping off Liang Yi’s head.

"Hmm... Just now, at the Complete Heaven Sect’s Cliff Sword Intent was only reacting to that Fu Changxing, but not to the two guards following him. This suggests that only high-ranking members of the Devouring Spirit Sect might have the chance to connect with the Abyss, not the ordinary disciples."

"As long as Fu Changxing doesn’t make a move himself, I’ll be fine," said An Mujing confidently, for she was a True Disciple of the Complete Heaven Sect, and concealing her tracks was an easy task.

Once they made sure the area was clear of people, An Mujing took advantage of the moonlight and swiftly left.

Liang Yi, followed by Su Youyi and Mr. Tangerine, strolled casually toward the city’s northern gate, thinking it was about time to wrap up the task for the players.
