Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 647 - 393: Calculation_2

Di Xiu was furious, but he was even more cautious at heart. He once again paid his respects to Chu Xuexin, then decisively chose to relocate with his Holy Son in tow.

"Xue Xin, I owe you my thanks this time."

Although Chang Shiyang did not want to lose face in front of Chu Xuexin, the psychological shadow left by Su Jie was too heavy. As soon as he heard that Su Jie might come for revenge, he couldn’t bring himself to speak against leaving.

"Brother Chang, may you recover from your Divine Soul’s injuries soon. There’s no need to rush for revenge. I believe you will certainly defeat Su Jie."

Chu Xuexin’s lips parted, moist and rosy as if touched by the dew of spring, her every smile intoxicating, soothing Chang Shiyang’s wounded soul.

The entire mansion began a massive withdrawal, with a group of disciples from the Blood Demon Cave, led by Di Xiu, immediately starting the relocation.

Now that Nanyang City was filled with Demon Cultivators who had come to celebrate the anniversary, and since it was the Heavenly Soul Sect’s territory, they couldn’t recklessly use Divine Sense to search for people. As long as they changed their location, the other party wouldn’t be able to find them so easily for a while.

Chu Xuexin also left, returning to the mansion provided by the Heavenly Soul Sect for the Desire Sect.

In a courtyard, Yu Wenxian knelt on the ground, her voice trembling: "Holy Daughter, I have sinned. I’ve exposed my identity, and now that Su Jie definitely knows of our existence."

Chu Xuexin gazed at Yu Wenxian, her deep eyes as if capable of seeing into one’s heart, and spoke indifferently: "Rise, encountering Su Jie here was an accident, something no one could have predicted."

Yu Wenxian felt slightly relieved. She was familiar with the situation in Qingzhou and had been sent by the Sect as a guide for the visit to the Heavenly Soul Sect due to her knowledge. The Desire Sect had only arrived in Nanyang City a few days before and, quite coincidentally, heard the news of Su Jie’s entrance to the city, which led to the subsequent events.

"Su Jie, truly a worthy Immortal Seed of the Qingzhou Demon Path, possesses immeasurable strength. My interest in him has grown. A man of such natural talent as an Immortal Seed will certainly increase the success rate of my breakthrough to the Taoist Platform Realm if used as a cauldron. Moreover, our Sect Treasure, the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, might be with him. Capturing this man and recovering the Sect Treasure is a must."

Chu Xuexin stood in a classical-style courtyard, poised and as if she was a captivating ink painting.

Yet her face now bore a charm that could bewitch all living beings, a stark contrast to her otherwise gentle and refined demeanor, a testament to the ultimate achievement in the cultivation of bewitching techniques.

Known for their bewitching techniques, the Desire Sect shielded Xuexin’s real persona behind a façade of innocence; few knew her true face, for those who did had been drained to death by her.

"I understand Su Jie. Though young, he is ruthless and merciless. Holy Daughter, if you choose to act against him, you must be extra careful."

Yu Wenxian lowered her head, bewildered by the rapid growth of Su Jie’s strength. Although the Holy Daughter was powerful, she felt she was likely no match for Su Jie.

"To deal with him, others will take action for me. Spread the word about what Su Jie did today throughout the entire city, and let the rumors fly."

Chu Xuexin chuckled, her eyes like two ponds of autumn water, sunlight spilling across her tender face, her smile carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

"The Immortal Seed of the Qingzhou Demon Path looks down upon us from the Chongzhou Demon Path. Tell me, shouldn’t we let Su Jie know just how formidable our Chongzhou Demon Path is!"

"Wenxian understands."

Yu Wenxian’s eyes brightened; she grasped Chu Xuexin’s plan to use another’s hand to eliminate a threat.

"Go now, and also take those temporary cauldrons to the hot spring."

"Yes, Holy Daughter."

Yu Wenxian bowed her head and left to carry out Chu Xuexin’s orders.

After about fifteen minutes, several young and handsome men with striking features were brought to a secluded area of the mansion by female disciples of the Desire Sect.

In the seclusion of a verdant bamboo grove, a hot spring filled the misty air, somewhat unclear with vapor. Chu Xuexin sat by the pool, holding a cup of hot tea and perusing through a scroll of Scriptures, her gaze occasionally peeking through the rising steam.

"Holy Daughter, the cauldrons have been brought."

"Hmm!"

Chu Xuexin sipped her tea and slowly rose to her feet, approaching gracefully.

Her figure, like a white lotus, pure and inviolable, shed her clothing step by step as she moved.

The young men, their eyes filled with lust, like wild beasts under the spell of the bewitching technique, uncontrollably pounced forward.

Soon, the area was filled with sounds that made one’s cheeks flush, but as time went on, the noises grew louder, turning from heavy breathing to screams of agony.

After everything had ended, Chu Xuexin walked out of the bamboo forest, her complexion more radiant, with her soft, silky hair dripping wet and scattered over her shoulders.

As she walked, Chu Xuexin gently caressed her hair, allowing droplets of water to slide along her skin, which was as fine and smooth as the highest quality porcelain, seemingly emitting a faint luster.

Behind the bamboo forest at the hot spring, several mummified corpses lay on the ground, each with hollowed eye sockets and skin stretched taut over bones, long devoid of the luster of life, becoming dry and brittle like withered leaves, easily crumbled, displaying a contorted posture.

........

"Yu Wenxian, Desire Sect!"

Su Jie’s gaze retracted from the void, and Han Ruyan beside him sensed something.

"Has your Primordial Spirit Demon Seed been severed?"

"Someone has detected it, but it doesn’t matter, I’ve found a more important enemy."

Su Jie narrowed his eyes, both shocked and pleased when he had seen Yu Wenxian, he had not expected this ’missing’ senior sister to appear in Nanyang City.

Connecting the unprovoked probing from Chang Shiyang, Su Jie had already linked the clues, most likely behind it all was the Demon Sect Yu Wenxian belonged to, the Desire Sect’s machinations.

Su Jie was not familiar with the Desire Sect, but he had killed a few of the sect’s elders.

He knew that this sect practiced Bewitching Techniques involving Yang Absorption and Yin Supplementation, and they most enjoyed capturing talented cultivators to use as cauldrons for cultivation, namely an all-female Cultivator sect of the Demon Path.

Now they had made another move, and what they were scheming did not need guessing.

It was not that Su Jie was narcissistic; his status as an Immortal Seed, in the eyes of the female cultivators of the Desire Sect, was like a walking treasure, hard for them to even move past.

With this thought, Su Jie summoned Li Chunhai.

"What orders does Master Su have?"

Li Chunhai hurried over, assigned to Su Jie by Xue Xin for the duration of Su Jie’s stay in Nanyang City, and acted as Su Jie’s guide.

Getting straight to the point, Su Jie asked, "Tell me something, do you know about the Desire Sect?"

"I know, I know, the all-female Demon Sect, right? They’re also on the list to be invited for the birthday celebration. Our previous Sect Master had connections with the Desire Sect. The cauldrons they leave behind, often the corpses, are frequently sold to us, used as material for cultivating zombies."

Li Chunhai suddenly paused, cautiously saying, "Master Su, if I may be so bold to say, if you’re looking for some fun, it’s best to avoid the Desire Sect. Those female cultivators might be beautiful, but their methods of Yang Absorption and Yin Supplementation can only deplete our bodies."

Su Jie hadn’t said a word when Han Ruyan’s cold gaze turned his way.

Li Chunhai stiffened, feeling the hairs on his skin stand on end, as if Death itself was gazing at him, and he immediately kept his mouth shut, not daring to say more.

"Easy, my dear."

Su Jie soothed Han Ruyan and continued to question Li Chunhai, "Do you know where the Desire Sect’s residence is located?"

"That, I do not know."

Li Chunhai immediately shook his head and, fearing Su Jie might not believe him, explained, "Because many Demon Sects have grudges against each other, if one knows the other’s residence, it could lead to all sorts of troubles. To reduce the risk, locations of the Demon Sects coming to celebrate the birthday are kept strictly confidential, and we are not allowed to inquire about them."

Su Jie nodded, understanding that Li Chunhai was merely an inner disciple and did not have access to such information.

"What else do you know about the Desire Sect?"

Li Chunhai furrowed his brow in thought, then suddenly something came to mind, and he spoke up, "Let me think... Ah, I’ve heard that the Desire Sect has sent a Holy Daughter named Chu Xuexin to attend this time. She’s said to be a peerless beauty with a great reputation, known as the number one beauty of Chongzhou. It’s said that not only in the Chongzhou Demon Path but even among the talented disciples of the Chongzhou Righteous Sects, she has many admirers."

"Chu Xuexin, huh!"

Considering the pure-looking girl he had seen earlier through the Demon Seed at Chang Shiyang’s, Su Jie’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Another so-called number one beauty, it seems I really do have a destiny with them!"

Su Jie pondered in his heart; he had slain Immortal Seeds and trampled Saint Heirs, but he had yet to kill a Holy Daughter.
