Great Zhou Imperial City, Phoenix Luan Hall.

A winding waft of blue smoke.

Lu Yunzhi lounged on a soft couch, her phoenix eyes half-closed, listening to a black-robed Taoist reading scriptures before her.

“The nine orifices and the five internal organs and twelve meridians of a human being, each with three yin and yang aspects of hands and feet, are all connected to the time of heavenly Qi…”

The Daoist in the black robe was going over the pinnacle cultivation technique of the Immortal Gate’s Wuliang Tian, called the Heavenly Wondrous Pure Dao Scripture. This scripture was best used for nurturing the body with Qi to extend life and increase longevity.

Other true cultivators from different paths were also present in the palace, lined up on both sides. Their minds illuminated with enlightenment when they heard the profound parts, appearing entranced.

At that moment, Eunuch He, who was waiting by the side, perked his ears up, and then whispered something into the Empress of Great Zhou’s ear.

“We will stop for today, continue listening tomorrow, you can all leave now.”

Lu Yunzhi frowned slightly and waved her hand to summon everyone out saying, “Is the Demonic Cult really so audacious?”

Eunuch Chu gingerly answered, “There are people in many provinces and states who are publicly promoting the doctrines of the Demonic Sect and criticizing the court’s inaction against demons, even… Your Majesty’s actions.” “Hmph! The remaining rabble of the Demon Path indeed has guts!”

Lu Yunzhi slammed the table, her phoenix eyes sharp and her brow furrowed. “Summon the Chao Tian Department and curb these rumors and gossip. I do not wish to see such scandals reappearing.”

“Yes.”

“Order the cultivators of the Chao Tian Department to issue a demon extermination order, whoever is a Demon Cultivator will be beheaded publicly, let the world know the fate of those who seek the Demons!”

“Yes!”

“In the territory of Great Zhou, anyone who dares to discuss the new policy will be put to death.”

“Recently a new Demon Lord has emerged from amongst the Demon Sect, behaving provocatively, with a mysterious origin, which seems to be related to the royal family of Great Zhou. Is there anyone here who can take this task and eliminate this person?”

With a slight squeeze, Lu Yunzhi turned a wanted poster of a lean man in black robes into ashes, and faintly said.

“Your Majesty, allow me.”

A young and handsome Daoist walked out from the sides, dressed in a Taoist robe with a pattern of fish leaping over a river, his temples hanging down, his lips red and his teeth white, and his eyes shining.

Lu Yunzhi nodded and said, “Take care of the issue thoroughly and don’t let these Demon Cultivators tarnish my reputation in the Capital City.”

“I shall obey.”

The young Daoist left after bowing respectfully.

In Jingji Sanfu, on the shaded official road of Fufeng State.

A group of armored soldiers, armed to the teeth, were traveling with two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, escorting a purple-gold official sedan in a hurry along the Official Road heading towards Longjing.

Behind them were dozens of prisoner carts, each filled with people with fierce expressions who exuded evil. They were unmistakably demons.

On the first prisoner cart, an old man sat in the middle, full of energy and spirit, seemingly unaffected by the threat of death.

Despite his pale face, his right arm cut off from the root, and an iron chain that ran through three of his limbs and Dantian, making him unable to mobilize any magic power, he still had the strength to curse:

“Liang the old thief, you dare to offend my Seven Evils Sect…”

“Dog official, you will have a dreadful death!”

“Just mere Mortals, daring to meddle in cultivators’ affairs, not fearing death. There’s no need for the Demon Lord to go, just one of the true inheritors of the Demon Sect can cut you all down to the ground…”

This old demon, despite being severely injured and restrained, maintained enough strength to abuse.

From the big jail in Xiangnan Prefecture City to Fufeng State, he had been shouting for two days and did not appear to be stopping anytime soon.

Liang Lian looked at the old demon with indifference. He held the roster soaked in blood closer to his chest, then he looked at the sky and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, an arrow pierced one of the soldiers escorting them.

Dozens of black-clothed people rushed out of both sides of the official road. They unleashed their True Qi to quickly slaughter the soldiers guarding the prisoner carts.

The two on-duty cultivators began fighting with the intruders in grave expressions.

Commander Pang Kong, solemnly said, “Lately, the Bai Tian Demon Sect and the Demon Path Cultivators have been acting outrageously. Cases have been happening frequently. Both of us have become an eyesore to them. Thought small paths should be safer, but it seems that the news was still leaked.”

From inside the sedan, Liang Lian lifted the curtain and said worriedly, “My term in office expires in three years. I am going to the Capital City this time to assume the post of Prefect. But I did not expect to be ambushed by a Demon Cultivator. It seems that my journey to the Capital City will inevitably be a bloody one.”

“Rawr!”

In the woods, a deafening roar of a tiger resounded, raising a gust of wind.

All at once, sand and rocks were flying around, and leaves were fluttering in the sky.

Pang Kong’s eyes hardened as he looked towards the source of the roar. He saw a giant tiger with golden spots approaching from the end of the road.

Every step the golden-spotted giant tiger took caused the ground to vibrate.

On the tiger’s back sat a man with messy hair and a beard-covering face.

He was carrying a two-feet-wide Silver Giant Axe on his back. Behind him were dozens of ferocious-looking masked Demon Cultivators who surrounded Pang Kong and Liang Lian.

“Do you think you can get away after killing a member of the Seven Evils Sect?” The man on the back of the golden-spotted giant tiger fixed his gaze on Liang Lian, exuding a tremendous aura.

The surrounding soldiers were startled by the man’s aura. They felt pressure on their brains, their faces turned pale, and they stumbled back a few steps. Their knees gave out, and they all fell to their knees.

“This is bad, he’s a Golden Core Cultivator!”

Even though Pang Kong was the Commander-in-Chief, his face turned grave, he asked, “Who are you?”

“Seven Evils Sect, Evil Tiger Jiang Kui.”

“Jiang Kui…”

Upon hearing this name, Pang Kong was taken aback.

The Seven Evils Sect was one of the Ten Sects of the Demon Path, notorious for their cruelty. This Evil Tiger was a true inheritor within the Seven Evils Sect, not weak at all, possessing the cultivation of a Fifth Order Golden Core..
