Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Thousand Gu Demon Sect

"That wretched woman!! A fish-sneaking cat!"

Xiaozhu hid quietly outside the door, listening to the sounds coming from within. Her face puffed up in a pout as she muttered under her breath.

’But Huang Pu Lihua really is beautiful. It’s no wonder Brother Feng likes her.’

Xiaozhu thought for a moment, feeling a bit discouraged.

The Bi Yao Demon Sect was the only one of the Five Great Demon Sects where women held sway over men, and among its Inner Sect Disciples, beauties were as common as clouds. Among them, Huang Pu Lihua’s looks and bearing were still second to none, even surpassing Qin Ke’Er’s by a slight margin.

Among the True Disciples, only Yuan Xian’Er’s beauty and disposition could be said to surpass Huang Pu Lihua’s, and only just barely.

’But I’m getting prettier and prettier now. As long as I keep cultivating, I’ll definitely make Brother Feng take me seriously.’

A glint of determination flashed in Xiaozhu’s eyes as she turned and strode away.

After their night of passion.

Shu Feng asked, "Lihua, what kind of person is Yuan Xian’Er?"

Huang Pu Lihua, nestled softly in Shu Feng’s arms, opened her beautiful eyes slightly. "Yuan Xian’Er is the second-ranked True Disciple. After she failed to usurp Xu Yunfei’s position as number one, she agreed to a marriage contract with the Xuan Mo Saint Child. Just like Xu Yunfei, she longs to become the next Shangguan Biyao!"

In the Black Tortoise Realm, both the Bei Mo Royal Court and the Great Song Empire were patriarchal societies. The Great Zhou Demon Country’s national power was far inferior to that of the Great Song Country and the Bei Mo Royal Court, so it strongly encouraged women to practice martial arts. As a result, the status of women there was much higher than in the Bei Mo Royal Court or the Great Song Empire.

But what truly brought about a revolutionary change in the status of female Martial Artists in the Great Zhou Demon Country was Shangguan Biyao’s founding of the Bi Yao Demon Sect. Only after the Bi Yao Demon Sect was established did the world witness the true power of female Martial Artists.

The title of the third most powerful person in the Great Zhou Demon Country was not one to be taken lightly. It was a throne Shangguan Biyao had seized after battling countless experts, and the number of Martial Saints who had died by her hand was far greater than ten.

Huang Pu Lihua smiled charmingly. "Master, if you wish to have her, just use a Love Gu on her. She will never be able to escape your grasp."

Shu Feng said with an air of righteousness, "Am I that kind of person?"

Shu Feng muttered to himself, ’If all else fails, I’ll just have to use a Love Gu on her. I can just blame that guy Han Feng and his ridiculous wish.’

Han Feng’s soul was like a catalyst for Shu Feng’s Holy Soul. Every bit he refined caused his own soul to undergo a heaven-and-earth-shattering evolution. Thus, Shu Feng was highly motivated to fulfill Han Feng’s soul-wishes.

After they had bathed and changed, Shu Feng and Huang Pu Lihua went to the living room together.

Wei Jianing was sitting in the parlor. Her gaze swept over Huang Pu Lihua for a fleeting, imperceptible moment before she smiled charmingly. "Senior Brother Han Feng, the Sect Leader sent me to inform you. Please prepare to attend the Demon Origin Flower Banquet in three months."

Shu Feng nodded slightly. "The Demon Origin Flower Banquet! Understood."

The Demon Origin Flower Banquet was a grand ceremony of the Great Zhou Demon Country, hosted by its Royal Family. It was an event to re-divide the spheres of influence among the Five Great Demon Sects.

Aside from their core territories, the Five Great Demon Sects would put their other holdings—mines, shops, various resources, and even entire cities—on the line in various competitive duels at the Demon Origin Flower Banquet.

The duels at the Demon Origin Flower Banquet were typically fought by the True Disciples of the major sects. As the Direct Disciple of the Bi Yao Demon Sect’s Sect Leader, Shu Feng’s status was equivalent to that of a Saint Child. It was only natural that he would attend and fight against the Saint Children of the other Four Great Demon Sects.

Wei Jianing smiled charmingly, turned to leave, and said, "Then I shall take my leave!"

A strange glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’The next place that can make me stronger is the Thousand Gu Demon Sect!’

The Gu Demon Mountain Range was where the headquarters of the Thousand Gu Demon Sect was located. The environment of the entire mountain range had been transformed by generations of the sect’s experts, making it exceptionally suitable for all kinds of Gu Insects to thrive.

Within the Gu Demon Mountain Range lived many powerful, bizarre, and wild Gu Insects.

The Great Zhou Demon Country had, in fact, inherited the legacy of the Ancient Demon Sect. The Five Great Demon Sects were all from the same lineage, having developed after each obtained a Celestial Stele that recorded the Secret Techniques of the Ancient Demon Sect.

There were many sects in the Great Zhou Demon Country that practiced the art of Gu, but the Thousand Gu Demon Sect was the strongest among them. After the era of the Ancient Demon Sect, the only expert to have ever successfully refined a Ten Thousand Demon Gu King was born in the Thousand Gu Demon Sect.

Qian Gu Mountain was the main base of the Thousand Gu Demon Sect.

A man dressed in black with a black cloak walked slowly toward Qian Gu Mountain.

"Halt! This is the headquarters of the Thousand Gu Demon Sect. If you have no important business, leave immediately!"

Two disciples of the Thousand Gu Demon Sect, dressed in robes embroidered with black Gu Insects, blocked the man in black and spoke in a cold tone.

"I have come today to subjugate the Thousand Gu Demon Sect! Have your Supreme Elder come out to see me!!"

The man in black smiled nonchalantly as a terrifying pressure at the Martial Saint Level instantly erupted from his body, spreading out in all directions.

"A Martial Saint!!"

The two Thousand Gu Demon Sect disciples were instantly terrified, trembling uncontrollably and unable to move, their eyes filled with Fear.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Enemy attack!!"

"..."

The terrifying Martial Saint Level pressure instantly alarmed the entire Thousand Gu Demon Sect, and the sound of alarms quickly spread.

Two incomparably tyrannical and terrifying auras at the Martial Saint Level surged up from within the Thousand Gu Demon Sect.

An old man, merely 1.6 meters tall and short like a dwarf with a gloomy expression, and a tall, gaunt, and rather ugly middle-aged man flew directly out from the Thousand Gu Demon Sect. A pair of Flying Gu Wings was unfurled on each of their backs.

The tall, rather ugly middle-aged man stared at Shu Feng, a cold glint in his eyes. "I am the Sect Leader of the Thousand Gu Demon Sect. Who might you be, to dare make such an arrogant boast as to subjugate our sect!"

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "I am the Gu Emperor. I have come here today for the specific purpose of conquering the Thousand Gu Demon Sect. If you two are willing to submit to me, I guarantee you endless glory and riches."

"What an arrogant fool! Let me see what you’re made of!"

A look of fury flashed in the eyes of the short, dwarf-like Supreme Elder of the Thousand Gu Demon Sect. With a furious roar, his Profound Qi surged forth, and thirty-six Tier Six Blade Gu—each with two blade-like arms, six wings, and a golden carapace—flew out and formed a battle formation.

A terrifyingly immense amount of Profound Qi boiled and condensed, forming a twenty-meter-long golden Celestial Blade that descended from the sky, slashing viciously down at Shu Feng.

"Not bad! You have some skill!"

Shu Feng smiled indifferently and pointed a finger. A terrifying Finger Aura from his Yin Yang Qi Finger shot across the sky, twisting directly toward the golden Celestial Blade.

The black-and-white Finger Aura of the Yin Yang Qi Finger slammed into the golden Celestial Blade, and with a single twisting strike, it instantly shattered the blade to pieces.
