Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

"Yue Li! Your Red Cloud Mountain is going too far, we at Celestial Fall Sect were clearly in line first! How can you cut in line?!"

"Haha, Xu Kongming, just now you found fault with the spiritual energy at Cyan Lotus Mountain, unwilling to join Qinlian Sect, what’s changed now? Someone as fickle as you, do you think the Saintess would accept you?"

"Yue Du’er! Stop slandering me in front of the Saintess, I wanted to be the first to join Qinlian Sect, it was you who kept obstructing me!"

In front of several array platforms for testing spirit roots, people from Celestial Fall Sect and Red Cloud Mountain almost got into a fight over the line for testing.

Even Xu Kongming and Yue Li, as Sect Leaders, were at each other’s throats, exchanging all kinds of insults.

Meanwhile, several smaller South Demon sects took the opportunity to rush and line up, each competing to be the first to test their spirit roots, then proceeded to register with Liu Xiaotang and others, officially joining Qinlian Sect.

Many Eastern Cultivators watched in shock, some puzzled:

"Celestial Fall Sect and Red Cloud Mountain were once on par with Cyan Lotus Sect, forming the Three Great Demon Sects, yet Xu Kongming and Yue Li, as Sect Leaders, are lowering themselves to become disciples of Qinlian Sect?"

Someone immediately sneered:

"Can’t you figure it out?"

"Just think, Yun Wu, being a Pure Spirit Body, can both emit and absorb large amounts of spiritual energy."

"Where did the spiritual energy from Thunder Sword Mountain and Feiyun Mountain go the past few days?"

The puzzled person shivered in realization and exclaimed:

"Could it be absorbed by Yun Wu alone? Those are two Spirit Vein Immortal Mountains! Even a Pure Spirit Body can’t absorb it all alone?"

"Even among Pure Spirit Bodies there are differences, Yun Wu is clearly a rare kind that appears once in a millennium."

The person next to him chuckled: "Look at the spiritual energy Yun Wu emits, obviously more rich in essence. The spiritual energy of Thunder Sword Mountain and Feiyun Mountain went through her, and the quality improved."

"With her around, wouldn’t cultivating at Cyan Lotus Mountain progress faster than anywhere on the Hongzhou Continent?"

"Additionally, you can always bathe in the fragrant essence emitted by one of the most beautiful women in the world; isn’t that the most beautiful thing?"

The puzzled person was taken aback and rushed toward an array platform with a long queue.

"Ahhh! I want to join Qinlian Sect! I want to test my spirit root!"

Such scenes continued to unfold among tens of thousands of cultivators, as those capable of cultivation are intelligent.

Joining Qinlian Sect means an endless supply of spiritual energy, removing the need to painstakingly earn spirit marrow for cultivation.

If Qinlian Sect were to wage war, allowing Yun Wu to absorb the opponent’s sect’s spiritual energy would instantly put them in an invincible position.

With such a treasure in its grasp, along with the world’s greatest combat power in Saintess Xia, and others like Su Hongling and Ye Xiyue, even Zhenyang Sect would be a match.

Thinking about it that way, joining Qinlian Sect is all reward, with no downside; only a fool would refuse!

In an instant, the registry table for joining Qinlian Sect went from deserted to crowded.

Even normally reserved Eastern Cultivators were eager to line up for spirit root testing and immediately register to join.

"Zhao Yi, Sun San, let’s go line up too!"

"Hey, what are you two standing around for? Hurry up, or we won’t make it!"

Qian Er greedily inhaled the rich spiritual energy around him, feeling that his long-stagnant fifth-layer Qi Cultivation realm was about to break through. Excitedly, he pulled Zhao Yi and Sun San to join the line for spirit root testing.

But the two stood still, only staring blankly at Xia Qinglian high in the sky.

"Zhao Yi, Sun San! What are you doing?"

Qian Er asked, confused, and Sun San said, "Zhao Yi, why did we come all the way to Cyan Lotus Mountain?"

Qian Er replied, "Of course, to ask if the Saintess is Divine Maiden; wouldn’t it be easier if we joined Qinlian Sect?"

Zhao Yi said, "If we join Qinlian Sect, what about the Divine Maiden’s Temple? What about our butcher shop in Yunling Town? Aren’t you about to marry Chen Fang from Rouge Pavilion?"

Qian Er was stunned: "This..."

Sun San clenched his fists, his voice firm: "I just want to ask Saintess Xia one question: who exactly is she?"

Qian Er asked, "What if she’s not?"

Sun San said, "Then I’ll return to Yunling Town and wait for Divine Maiden!"

Qian Er asked again, "And if she is?"

Sun San said, "Then I’ll return to Yunling Town immediately!"

Qian Er’s eyes widened: "Why?"

Sun San answered firmly, "The Divine Maiden’s Temple has accumulated considerable merit power. If the Divine Maiden is ever in trouble, protecting the temple might be of use to her."

Zhao Yi nodded: "What Sun San said is exactly what I’ve been thinking!"

Qian Er watched them, dumbfounded.

"Damn it! I’m going back to Yunling Town with you too!"

On Cyan Lotus Mountain.

"Xiaowu, you’re too beautiful, if I were a man, I’d definitely want to take you!"

Liu Su moved forward and hugged Yun Wu, who had just come down from the phoenix, taking the opportunity to grope her:

"Wow, you’re so much bigger, only slightly smaller than Miss."

Wei Wan came forward and pulled Yun Wu to her side, looking at Liu Su warily.

"Tch, don’t flatter yourself, I like strong men!"

Liu Su pouted, saw Qin Gengyun returning to the mountaintop, and rushed forward:

"Master, everyone else is a Guardian Elder or something, what about me?"

Qin Gengyun looked her up and down: "You’re the lady’s handmaid, just focus on serving the lady well."

"Hey! Master, you’re being unfair; I’ve followed you the longest, even if you take concubines, I should be first in line. Why don’t I get a position?!"

Liu Su was upset.

"Husband, stop teasing Susu."

Just then, Xia Qinglian returned to the mountaintop, and seeing this, she couldn’t help but laugh lightly.

"I knew it, Miss, Master, what will you assign me? Vice Sect Leader?"

Liu Su was overjoyed and quickly asked.

Qin Gengyun smiled: "Minister of Intelligence."

"Intelligence Department?"

Liu Su furrowed her brow: "What in the world is that? I’ve never heard of it!"

Qin Gengyun said, "Intelligence involves gathering information on enemy movements. Since you like using the Mist Spirit Eye to peek, this role is perfect for you."

Xia Qinglian nodded in agreement from the side.

Liu Su’s face fell instantly: "Miss, Master, you’re taking personal revenge!"

Qin Gengyun smiled: "By the way, the Intelligence Department currently only has you as a member."

"What?"

Liu Su was frustrated: "Can’t I have a couple of subordinates arranged for me?"

Qin Gengyun glanced at the distant Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er, who looked troubled, shrugged: "Originally, there were going to be two vice-ministers, but they haven’t decided yet."

At this moment, several figures flew toward the front of Cyan Lotus Mountain, and the leading two people called from afar to Qin Gengyun and Xia Qinglian:

"Sect Leader Qin, Saintess Xia, I am Xu Jiangxing, former City Lord of Zhenlian City."

"I am Zhou Shinen, Patriarch of the Zhou Family in Zhenlian City."

"We are here today to join Qinlian Sect!"
