"I’m only being this polite to him because he helped me earn so much Merit that I now have hope of breaking through to the Ascension Realm. Otherwise, I’d have slapped him to death long ago. How dare he pursue a female disciple of my Shu Mountain Sword Sect?" The Shushan Ancestor said angrily.

"Senior Manhuang, which girl from your Shushan did Zhang Bin go after? Was that even ’pursuing’? More like flirting, right? He loves teasing beauties the most. He’s really bad."

Xiao Lan also asked curiously.

"Shoo, shoo, little girl, off to the side with you. Make sure that bastard never sees your true face."

The Shushan Ancestor said, a bit embarrassed.

Clearly, he still didn’t dare be rude or overbearing in front of Kunlun Elder.

Xiao Lan stuck out her tongue, then retreated to the side with a mischievous grin.

She was obviously adding fuel to the fire, hoping the Shushan Ancestor would give Zhang Bin a colossal lesson and help her vent her grudge!

The Shushan Ancestor really took the bait. He glared deathly at Zhang Bin and said viciously, "Brat, if you dare flirt with the women of our Shushan again, I’ll twist your head off."

"Old man, listen up." Zhang Bin sneered. "Zhang Xue is my woman. If you so much as touch a single hair on her head, I won’t be polite to you. The Shu Mountain Sword Sect—so powerful, is it? So what if the Demon Sect was powerful? Didn’t it still get wiped out in my hands?"

"Good, good, good, you sure have a big mouth, brat." The Shushan Ancestor roared, furious. "You don’t have any ability of your own; you only succeeded by relying on everyone else. Without everyone’s effort, could you have annihilated the Demon Sect? Keep dreaming your grand dreams. And that Taiqing Sect of yours is probably just an empty shell, right? No Elders, no Seniors. Even your Patriarch, Laozi himself, is younger than me. Back then he left no legacy at all... humph..."

"My Patriarch left no legacy? That’s a colossal joke. To exterminate a mere Demon Sect, why would we even need to alarm the Seniors of my Taiqing Sect?" Zhang Bin sneered. "Old man, what’s the use of being old and having a higher seniority? It only proves you’re mediocre. Just you wait. When the Seniors of my Taiqing Sect come out of seclusion, they’ll pay Shushan a visit. When that time comes, don’t you dare fawn over me after putting on airs now."

"Humph, then I’ll be waiting."

The Shushan Ancestor snorted coldly, then flew into the sky in a fury.

The Shushan Sect disciples could only awkwardly follow after him.

Zhang Hangkui was among them.

Seeing there was no more drama to watch, the other Righteous Sect Cultivators also began to depart.

Zhang Bin, however, stopped Kunlun Elder and pulled him aside. "Kunlun Elder, now that you’ve come out of seclusion this time, you’re not planning to go back into seclusion right away, are you?"

"Brat, what scheming idea are you hatching now? Trying to use me again?"

Kunlun Elder’s face turned stern.

"How could I possibly scheme against a Righteous Sect Cultivator? I’m trying to give you benefits. There’s going to be another big operation soon that can earn you a massive amount of Merit—no less than what you got from annihilating the Demon Sect. So I hope you don’t go into seclusion in the near future." Zhang Bin said with an evil grin.

"This time I’ve already gained a huge amount of Merit, which is a great help to my breakthrough. I was indeed planning to enter seclusion. But since you put it that way, I’ll wait for you a few months." Kunlun Elder smiled until his eyes narrowed; he still had plenty of faith in Zhang Bin’s capabilities.

"Heh heh heh... good. I definitely won’t let you down."

After Zhang Bin spoke, he pulled Xiao Lan aside, grinning wickedly. "Xiao Lan, you lost our bet, you know. Now hurry up and restore your appearance so I can take a good look."

"How did I lose?" Xiao Lan said righteously. "How does this count as the Demon Sect being wiped out? Lots of them escaped, and Mo Tunyu didn’t die. Mowan still wants to demonize you. Clearly, the Demon Sect isn’t destroyed. Our bet hasn’t been settled yet. I think you should prepare a High-grade Magical Artifact to pay me when you lose."

"You... you’re way too unreasonable. All the Demon Sect experts were killed. Their main nest is gone. That definitely counts as being annihilated." Zhang Bin said, fuming.

"Hehehe... ’Demon Sect destroyed’ means there’s not a single Demon Sect person left. There are still people, so it’s not destroyed." Xiao Lan laughed triumphantly, then walked over and took Kunlun Elder’s arm, giggling. "Grandpa, let’s go."

"Brat, I’ll be waiting for your news."

Kunlun Elder completely ignored the matter between Zhang Bin and Xiao Lan. Smiling, he spoke, then took the Kunlun Disciples and soared into the sky.

Xiao Lan also turned her head and shouted, "Big Bad Egg, be careful, okay? Don’t get bewitched by that Demoness, you absolutely must not get demonized, got it?"

"Got it, you’re so naggy." Zhang Bin said with a wicked smile. "Do you really think you’re my girlfriend?"

"Big Bad Egg, once I become strong, I’m going to give you a brutal lesson."

Xiao Lan was furious and shouted savagely.

Zhang Bin sat cross-legged on the desert, having Chiang Xue and Feng Fei stand guard.

Then he took out Zuo Xie’s Space Ring.

He opened it expectantly for a look.

Zuo Xie was one of the Demon Sect’s peerless twin prides and was the designated Young Sect Master.

The Treasures in the Space Ring should be plentiful. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He didn’t end up disappointed; there were many Treasures inside.

There were three Middle-Grade Demonic Artifacts and over a dozen Inferior Grade Demonic Artifacts.

All of them were fine materials, which could be used to re-refine Magical Treasures.

However, the greatest Treasure was definitely that Jade Scroll.

Zhang Bin immediately drew the Jade Scroll into his hand and sent out his Divine Sense for a careful look; a thick joy appeared on his face.

Because the Jade Scroll recorded the complete contents of the Heavenly Demon Secret Scroll.

It basically corresponded to the contents of Celestial Demon Technique, Part One, but of course it was a Demon Cultivation technique—extremely evil and terrifying.

For Zhang Bin, it had enormous reference value.

For example, the cultivation method of the Devil’s Black Sun Cannon was basically the same as his Divine Red Sun cultivation method.

There were many such contents that Zhang Bin had not yet comprehended or cultivated out.

"Hahaha..." Zhang Bin burst into laughter and silently calculated in his heart. "This time I basically wiped out the Demon Sect and removed a massive malignant tumor. My harvest is the greatest. I comprehended the terrifying attack method, Divine Red Sun, and obtained the Jade Scroll that records the Heavenly Demon Secret Scroll. On top of that, I earned a huge amount of Merit. I should now have forty thousand Merit Points. I gained about thirty thousand Merit Points this time... The power of my Merit Gold Seal must have become much more formidable."

Thinking of this, with a thought, the Merit Gold Seal between his brows flew out.

It hovered in front of him.

Shooting out dazzling golden Light.

It looked incomparably sacred.

It was completely different from before. When it had first condensed and formed, there had only been one dragon on the side of the Merit Gold Seal.

But now there were four dragons, vivid and lifelike, their aura soaring to the heavens.

"Looks like I really do have forty thousand Merit Points. What an enormous gain. And my Merit Gold Seal must have become three times more powerful. It’ll be even easier to deal with Demon Sect Cultivators now. Mowan, I’m waiting for you. I’ll use the Merit Gold Seal to send you to Hell!" Zhang Bin muttered joyfully in his heart.

Immediately, he continued plotting, "You Jiuxuan obtained Mo Tunyu’s Space Ring and got the Heavenly Demon Secret Scroll. He gained something, but he also lost a lot—he consumed a great deal of Soul Energy and Flames. Basically we achieved a mutually destructive outcome. Now is the best time to kill him... Let me first probe You Jiuxuan’s true condition, then decide when to act..."

He put away the Teleportation Array here, then took out the Flying Saucer. Bringing the two beautiful bodyguards inside, he piloted the Flying Saucer, which flashed once and vanished without a trace.

In this way, even if there were Remnants of the Demon Sect, they wouldn’t be able to find him.

Right now he wasn’t thinking about dealing with the Remnants of the Demon Sect, because they would definitely be in hiding.

What he wanted was to seize this moment when You Jiuxuan was at his weakest and completely wipe out the Youming Sect!
