Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Two days later.

Four days left until the Sect Inauguration Ceremony at Cyan Lotus Mountain.

Celestial Fall Sect.

Council Hall.

All high-level members of the sect gathered together, but everyone wore a solemn expression on their faces.

An elder spoke towards the dragon-headed figure in the center:

"Sect Leader, the Sect Inauguration Ceremony at Cyan Lotus Mountain is in two days; are we going or not?"

The dragon-headed figure was none other than Xu Kongming, the Sect Leader of Celestial Fall Sect.

A few days ago, during the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, under the arrangement of Western Emperor Wu Zheng, they infiltrated the Empress’s palace of Lin Yuan, intending to assassinate the Western Empress.

But ultimately failed, and ended up benefiting Si Minglan instead.

Fortunately, Xu Kongming made a prompt decision, immediately leading his people to withdraw from the West Imperial City, thus preserving the lives of the high-levels of Celestial Fall Sect.

However, this trip to the Western Emperor yielded nothing, leaving Xu Kongming quite frustrated.

On their way back to South Demon territory, Xu Kongming also heard the news that Xia Qinglian had resurrected and killed masters of the Three Great Sects.

Suddenly filled with panic, he hurriedly fled back to Celestial Fall Sect.

Then he deployed all resources to set up hundreds of Guardian Arrays.

Back then, Celestial Fall Sect and Cyan Lotus Sect were mortal enemies, and as soon as Xia Qinglian resurrected, she slaughtered the masters of the Three Great Sects.

Will the next target be our Celestial Fall Sect?

So Xu Kongming and the disciples of Celestial Fall Sect were on edge, living in constant fear day and night.

Xu Kongming had once fought Xia Qinglian, so he was fully aware of the gap between them.

Outwardly, he was the Sect Leader of Celestial Fall Sect, a terrifying Great Demon to many, and the first to cultivate the Celestial Beast Record Cyan Dragon Scroll to the Seventh Layer.

But he knew that in front of Xia Qinglian, these accolades were as worthless as that of a dog.

With Xia Qinglian returning powerfully, would she first slaughter the Three Great Sects and then kill his Celestial Fall Sect?

Trembling in hiding for a few days, two days ago, a Spiritual Power Flying Arrow suddenly arrived.

It easily broke through hundreds of Arrays, and Xu Kongming thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly, the arrow transformed into a line of text.

It was actually an invitation for Celestial Fall Sect to attend the Sect Inauguration Ceremony at Cyan Lotus Mountain.

As of today, with the Sect Inauguration Ceremony approaching, everyone in Celestial Fall Sect was extremely tormented, not knowing what to do.

Upon hearing the elder’s words, Xu Kongming’s face was also full of worry.

How should he know what to do?

Going could mean being crushed by Xia Qinglian.

Not going could also mean being crushed by Xia Qinglian.

Damn it, there’s no way out!

Seeing Xu Kongming’s face dark and uncertain, another elder said:

"Sect Leader, our undercover agent on Red Cloud Mountain just reported back, Red Cloud Mountain will go and they even prepared lavish gifts."

"What?!"

Xu Kongming’s brows furrowed tightly: "That Yue Li scoundrel! We joined forces to oppose Xia Qinglian back then, and he was the first to surrender, so spineless!"

Everyone exchanged glances, thinking, "Sect Leader, you sure have some guts, you almost wet yourself from Xia Qinglian’s Flying Arrow just a few days ago."

The elder added, "Sect Leader, I also heard that many people have already gathered at the foot of Cyan Lotus Mountain in recent days, coming from the Northern Wilderness, West Imperial, and even Eastern Cultivator."

"If we arrive late and Xia Qinglian settles accounts afterwards..."

Everyone was instantly terrified, and someone suddenly stood up:

"Sect Leader, we must set out today, we absolutely cannot let Red Cloud Mountain beat us there!"

"Exactly, we once joined forces with Red Cloud Mountain against Cyan Lotus Sect, in the end, you and Yue Li were defeated by Xia Qinglian in one move, now the mere sight of her makes us weak in the knees!"

"Shut up!" Xu Kongming shouted angrily, coldly glaring at the elder who said they were defeated by Xia Qinglian, scolding:

"How dare you spread lies and slander! The Saintess only used half a move to defeat Yue Li and me!"

"Sect Leader??" Everyone looked bewildered.

Suddenly, Xu Kongming knelt towards the south, reverently bowing:

"Xu has long admired Saintess Xia, delighted by her invitation, Xu shall now purify himself and prepare gifts, leading the Celestial Fall Sect to attend the ceremony at Cyan Lotus Mountain!"

Everyone exchanged glances, those who reacted quickly followed suit, kneeling:

"Divine Maiden above, we shall head to Cyan Lotus Mountain for the ceremony!"

A group of Celestial Fall Sect high-levels knelt facing the south with faces full of reverence.

Someone whispered, "But Cyan Lotus Mountain is poor in Spiritual Energy, even if the Divine Maiden establishes a sect there, it won’t last long, will it?"

Xu Kongming responded, "The Divine Maiden surely has her own plans, there’s no need for us to worry. We just need to prepare more lavish gifts than Red Cloud Mountain and get there faster!"

"Everyone, get moving!"

"Yes!"

...

Red Cloud Mountain.

"What?! Xu Kongming has set out so soon?"

"That scoundrel has surprised me again with his bootlicking prowess!"

Upon hearing the report from the spies infiltrating Celestial Fall Sect, Yue Li flew into a rage:

"Everyone, follow me immediately to defend the Divine Maiden!"

"Yes, we vow to defend the Divine Maiden to the death!"

...

Yunling Town.

Temple of the Divine Maiden.

"What did you say? Demon Sect Saintess Xia Qinglian is the Divine Maiden?"

"Impossible!"

"Sun San, haven’t you heard? Xia Qinglian once became a common female cultivator, married a male cultivator in Yunling Town’s Narrow Rain Lane."

"The female cultivator was Qiu Zhihe, who later became famed across the land as the second on the Beauty Ranking; at the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, Qiu Zhihe revealed the true identity of the Demon Sect Saintess, defeating Thunder Sword Fairy Su Hongling!"

"So what? How can that prove the Divine Maiden is Xia Qinglian?"

"Sun San, have you forgotten? The Divine Maiden uses a Flame Technique, but it differs from ordinary Fire Series techniques; it must be Li Fire. Xia Qinglian’s Profound Ice and Li Fire Technique is renowned worldwide, who else could it be?"

"Impossible, impossible, the Divine Maiden is just the Divine Maiden, she isn’t Xia Qinglian."

"Sun San, wake up! Qian Er and I will head to Cyan Lotus Mountain tomorrow, are you coming?"

"I’m not going! And you two are not allowed to go, the Divine Maiden is here, you cannot betray her!"

"Damn it, Sun San are you starting a fight? Are you insane?!"

"I’ll beat the crap out of you!"

After a tumultuous scuffle, Zhao Yi, Qian Er, and Sun San lay on the ground, covered in bruises, panting heavily.

The temple was a mess, yet the statue of the Divine Maiden remained untouched.

Even during the fight, they carefully avoided the statue of the Divine Maiden.

Lying on the ground with a black and blue face, Zhao Yi groaned:

"Sun San, you really went all out, didn’t you?"

Sun San, in an even worse state, with bite marks on his neck, retorted:

"Were you guys dogs in your past lives? Biting people like that!"

Qian Er chuckled, "Weren’t you the one who groveled like a dog before the Divine Maiden back then?"

Sun San paused, and Zhao Yi and Qian Er fell silent.

After a moment, the three heaved a simultaneous sigh.

They all reminisced about passionately kneeling at the feet of the Divine Maiden, listening to her cold reprimands.

Zhao Yi and Qian Er stood up: "Whether the Divine Maiden is Xia Qinglian or not, she’s still our Divine Maiden!"

"Sun San, are you going or not?"

Sun San also stood up, "Of course I’m going. If the Divine Maiden truly is Xia Qinglian, I..."

Zhao Yi and Qian Er watched him, as Sun San confidently declared:

"I will grovel even better!"
