Chapter 142: Memories Resurface! Mu Xinyin in Tears! Master Ren Appears!
Hehuan Sect, Blissful Sky Palace.
With the sudden upheaval from the Evil Extreme Sect and Huanxi Sect leadership.
All eyes turned towards the furious Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect.
"Xi Menqian! Luo Wei! Do you two little brats really think that with the Dark Queen behind you, you can act recklessly in my Hehuan Sect?"
Ji Taimei, hands on hips, coldly shouted: "Don't say that the death of 'Great Joyous Bodhisattva' and 'Li Qianjue' has nothing to do with this sect master, but even if I, Ji Taimei, did it with my own hands, what of it?"
His arrogant and domineering words rang out.
The entire audience was stunned!
The public naturally knows of this Ji Sect Master, promising and resourceful, with deep ties to the Demon Emperor, the most outstanding young Demon Lord of the Eastern Continent in a millennium, second only to the Godfather of the Cangming Sect!
However.
Even the great master of the Gu Path wouldn't dare to utter such defiant words in front of all the Demon Path experts of the Eastern Continent, right?
This was undoubtedly declaring war against the Eight Great Demon Sects!
In an instant, the entire Blissful Sky Palace erupted into chaos, the crowd began to surge restlessly!
"Ji Taimei! I've tolerated you for long enough!"
"If you don't give an explanation to the Evil Extreme and Huanxi Sects today, as a fellow of the Eastern Path, my Yin Corpse Sect will be the first to not tolerate you!"
A domineering and cold voice echoed.
The crowd followed the sound with their eyes.
And saw a disheveled and ugly man with a half-decomposed female corpse on his back, descending from the guest shelter of the fourth floor to the middle of the scene.
The scene instantly erupted with exclamations:
"It's the Sect Master of the Yin Corpse Sect, Fan Mo!"
"Exactly! Known as the 'Necromancer Demon Immortal'—Fan Mo, one of the eight leaders of the Eastern Earth's Demon Path!"
"Hey, that's strange! Rumor says this Master Fan is cold and indifferent, obsessed with the path of corpse refining, sleeping with the dead, never involving himself in external affairs, similar in temperament to the great master of the Cangming Sect, why would he become involved in this mess?"
"Isn't it simple! In my opinion, Master Fan appears cold on the surface, but harbors righteousness in his heart. Seeing the Evil Extreme and Huanxi Sects being plotted against by the Hehuan Sect, he was indignant and stepped forward to uphold justice!"
Upon hearing this, many Demon Path wanderers nodded in agreement.
More looks of admiration and reverence were cast upon Master Fan.
Even within the VIP seats, some high-ranking members of the Eight Great Demon Sects, while observing passively, also nodded slightly with respectful expressions.
Indeed, in the Demon Path, there are few who possess such a sense of righteousness!
At this moment, amid the crowd, a middle-aged man of elegant appearance, wrapped in a vast scarlet cloak and wearing an iron mask covering half of his face, sneered:
"A bunch of stupid low-class insects! This is the Demon Path! What do you talk about justice! You'd best not forget! What is the purpose of the Alliance of Demon Path assembly? It's to elect a leader!"
"According to the usual practice in the Eastern Earth, how is the leader of the Demon Path elected?"
"What prestige, reputation, and qualifications mean shit!"
"One word—"
"Competition on stage, no restriction on magic, each showing their Divine Skills, life and death disregarded!"
"The one who triumphs until the end, with the contempt of all under heaven, will be the acclaimed leader of the Demon Path that none dare disobey!"
Saying this, the middle-aged man tightened his cloak, his face showing cold arrogance as he said:
"So, you fools, don't you understand yet?"
"Be it Ji Taimei, who admits his crimes and intends to challenge the two sects alone, or now, Fan Mo, who seems to be upholding justice, their true purpose is only one—"
"In front of all the demons of the Eastern Continent, here in the Blissful Sky Palace today, to defeat the top experts of the Eight Great Demon Sects! To take the position of leader of the Demon Path, and with the Demon Emperor, to celebrate and rule the world together!"
By the end, the man's emotions seemed a bit excited, his tone impassioned, even drawing a blood-red Demon Sword from his waist!
"Wow, this brother makes so much sense!"
"Hey, according to this brother, perhaps the deaths of the Great Joyous Bodhisattva and Li Qianjue have nothing to do with Ji Taimei, he is merely using the opportunity to deal with these two sects!"
"Yes! That's how it seems! Moreover, for Fan Mo to even refine his wife into a blood corpse, how could such a ruthless person be upholding justice?"
The surrounding scattered cultivators quickly echoed, expressing agreement.
In an instant, the eyes of admiration shifted toward the middle-aged man who had spoken.
At this point, someone suddenly noticed something and asked:
"This brother looks familiar, not like a wanderer without allegiance, may I ask in which lineage of the Eight Great Demon Sects do you hold a high position?"
"Hmph, what is the Eight Great Demon Sects worth!"
The elegant man snorted coldly, his voice unexpectedly taking on a hoarse and aged tone, as if from an old elder: "I have appeared in this world to rectify the entire chaotic mess of the Eastern Earth's Demon Path!"
"Ah?"
"Was it you speaking just now, brother?"
The crowd widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
Indeed, the heavy killing intent, hoarse and aged voice of that elder earlier, completely unlike what would come from this scholar-faced man!
"Ahem, don't mind it, that was... ventriloquism I practiced."
The elegant middle-aged man gave a heavy pat on the right side of his face's iron mask, then wrapped his cloak tightly around him again, and prepared to leave the crowd.
Just then, a snide and mocking voice came, causing him to frown and halt once more:
"Tsk tsk, sir, if you truly possess such capability, why not seize this opportunity, with the experts of the Evil Extreme, Huanxi, Hehuan, and Yin Corpse Sects confronting each other, to take the stage and handle them all at once?"
