Chapter 1904: Demon God Sect Headquarters

Actually, there’s something Xiao Zheng doesn’t know.

This time, leading Long Qie and the other two, he spearheaded the campaign to eliminate the Demon God Sect’s forces across the southern provinces. This has indeed caused severe damage to the Demon God Sect. Among the names of those slain, many held important positions within the sect.

Some were responsible for recruiting new followers for the Demon God Sect, others for accumulating wealth, and still others for searching for women possessing the Profound Yin Body...

It can be said without reservation that Xiao Zheng’s actions this time have struck at the very foundation of the Demon God Sect!

Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Southern Border.

The dense primeval rainforests and lingering poisonous miasma create a natural barrier here.

In this isolated location, a sprawling palace surprisingly exists.

The palace is completely black, built from some unknown material.

At the gate, people come and go, uniformly dressed in black robes, the shadows of their hats obscure most of their faces, but not the worry etched upon them.

This is the headquarters of the Demon God Sect; for thousands of years, no outsider has ever set foot in this place.

Now, the news of Xiao Zheng unleashing carnage in the southern provinces has already been relayed back to the headquarters of the Demon God Sect.

In the dim great hall, the sect hierarch, upon hearing the news, flew into a rage, instantly killing the disciple who reported it, instilling terror and unease in everyone.

Fortunately, after venting, the hierarch finally calmed down.

Yet, the numbers on the death list still deeply pierced his heart.

No one knew how much time had passed before the hierarch asked, "Where is the Saintess? Where is she after sending out the message to retreat?"

At his words, a protector immediately stepped out from the crowd and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, the Saintess was severely injured after battling the Evil God that day. She’s currently recuperating under the care of Guardian Jin."

"It will take at least one more month for her to fully recover."

The Guardian Jin he spoke of is the old proprietor of the funeral shop.

Currently, the old proprietor and the Saintess, guided by ’darkness under the light’, are lurking right under Xiao Zheng’s nose and haven’t left Zhonghai City.

Upon receiving this news, the sect hierarch immediately frowned, a hint of murderous intent gathering between his brows: "Evil God! Truly a fine Evil God! Wasn’t he the one who disrupted our plans at the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect last time?"

"Unexpectedly, it’s only been a few days, and he’s started to act against us again!"

"If this beast is not slain, it will eventually breed troubles like feeding a tiger, causing the destruction of our Demon God Sect’s efforts spanning countless years!"

Now, the sect hierarch already perceives Xiao Zheng as a raging tiger blocking the mountains.

Only by eliminating Xiao Zheng can their plan succeed.

It’s just a pity that Xiao Zheng’s strength still makes the sect hierarch greatly apprehensive. After all, reputation precedes him. Since Xiao Zheng returned to Huaxia, he has made a name for himself on this land!

Even though the Demon God Sect has a long history, passed down from a century ago, they must regard Xiao Zheng with considerable caution!

"What’s the current situation in the south?"

The sect hierarch continued to inquire.

At his words, a protector promptly spoke up: "The forces of our Demon God Sect in the south have nearly been annihilated. Even if we manage to rebuild, it’ll take at least a century to return to its original magnitude."

Upon hearing this, the sect hierarch’s hatred towards Xiao Zheng deepened: "Damn it! If it weren’t for that damned Evil God, our plan would have succeeded in no more than half a year!"

"Because of his intervention this time, our plan has barely escaped collapse!"

"Guardian Zhang, how many women with fully matured Profound Yin Bodies are currently in our possession?"

"We currently have ninety-eight. With just one more, we can reach the sacred number of ninety-nine." The protector said, "Originally, the daughter of Liu Wufeng of the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect was supposed to be the ninety-ninth candidate, but alas..."

He didn’t continue, having already sensed the hierarch’s fury.

In an instant.

All protectors in the great hall knelt on the ground!

The sect hierarch unleashed his aura; he is, surprisingly, a Martial Saint Realm Peak expert, and his aura appears exceptionally eerie. His actual combat power could surely rival that of a Supreme Realm master!

No one knows how long it took, but the sect hierarch finally restrained his aura and issued orders: "Guardian Zhang, take a Demon God Statue and rush to Zhonghai City to meet with the Saintess at once. Have her make use of the Demon God Statue to recover quickly and then find a chance to eliminate the Evil God!"

"A Demon God Statue? Sect Hierarch, are you really not reconsidering?" Guardian Zhang said, showing shock, "If we lose a Demon God Statue this time, we’ll need to find at least ten more women with Profound Yin Bodies to construct a new statue."

"This, undoubtedly, will delay our plan even further!"

At these words, the sect hierarch scoffed coldly and said, "You needn’t say anymore, my mind is set! As long as we can rid ourselves of the Evil God, a mere Demon God Statue is nothing of concern! If we can harness the power of the statue to kill the Evil God, afterward, no one will be able to stop us!"

"A mere ten holders of the Profound Yin Body will be easily found then, won’t they?"

Feeling his resolve, Guardian Zhang sighed inwardly and said nothing further.

Because Guardian Zhang knew clearly, if he dared to utter another word, the sect hierarch would surely kill him on the spot. To preserve his life, though unwilling, he had no choice but to comply with the order.

Holding a trace of apprehension, Guardian Zhang bowed out and exited the great hall, then approached an altar in the rainforest.

No one guarded the altar, black stones bearing the marks left by time.

Upon ascending, Guardian Zhang saw nine statues enshrined. These statues appeared identical to those Xiao Zheng had seen in the funeral shop that day.

Except, eight of the statues had distinct faces.

For the last one, only a pair of eyes was carved.

But what was truly shocking were the vines growing beneath these sculptures. They were like tentacles, or perhaps serpents, slowly writhing in mid-air and on the ground.

Encompassing the statues, they also encased numerous corpses!

Upon careful examination, one would find these to be female corpses. Their expressions from life—whether joy, sorrow, surprise, or anger—were preserved, vividly lifelike despite having died many years ago.

These female corpses are the Profound Yin Body holders collected by the Demon God Sect over the years!

Counting them carefully, as Guardian Zhang mentioned earlier, there are precisely ninety-eight!

If Xiao Zheng hadn’t saved Liu Yiyi, she too would have become one of them by now!
