Mao Qi would never have imagined that things would fall to this point. In his previous plan, the Greatest Heaven Sect took a low profile, apologized, and was even willing to seal the mountain as self-punishment, which should be able to calm the anger of the major sects. Now it seems that things are far from that simple.
Mao Qi had never known the number of cultivators of the free demon heart sutra before. He was later told by the higher-ups about the spatial spiritual awareness cultivation method because he had to explain to many sects. He barely entered the fringe of the upper-level, but was far from the core upper-level, so there are some core secrets, he had no chance at all and no authority to know.
After hearing everyone’s words, Mao Qi’s first reaction was whether the leader of the sect was also involved. Otherwise, why would the sect master make that oath that is as if he will die?
At this time, Mao Qi could no longer care about anything else. He grabbed a piece of jade slip that recorded the free demon heart sutra and began to study it quickly.
The free demon heart sutra is not very long, and Mao Qi soon had a concept. Although he is not a master of the Dacheng stage, as the Yuanying stage elder of the Greatest Heaven Sect, he is definitely knowledgeable. How could he not find out that there is something wrong with the number of those cauldrons?
The total number of female cultivators from major sects alone is close to two hundred. If you include the female cultivators from smaller sects, they are already firmly approaching the three hundred mark. This is not to mention that some cauldrons may have died of torture. You must know that the number of eligible female cultivators who have disappeared during this period is far more than this number.
With such a huge number of cauldrons, it is possible for Li Liheng to directly push his spiritual awareness to the level of human Immortal realm, not to mention that he just cultivated his spiritual consciousness from the peak Jiedan stage to the early Dacheng stage. Then the question naturally arises, how could Li Liheng “consume” so many cauldrons if his cultivation base is not that high?
The only explanation is, there is more than one person who cultivated the free demon heart sutra. From the first time Mrs. Fanghua questioned it to the time she came to this conclusion, it was a smooth process without any chance of denial.
If only someone from the Demon Sect had come up with the technique of the free demon heart sutra, Mao Qi could still deny it. However, the monster race and the Blue Cloud Sect also took out the same jade slips. Even more coincidental, it was indeed the masters of the Greatest Heaven Sect and the Blue Cloud Sect who annihilated the demons back then. Such major events are recorded by each sect, and it is impossible to deny them even if they want to.
Mao Qi can’t just lie and say that the free demon heart sutra presented by the elders of the Blue Cloud Sect and other sect representatives are all fake and colluded, right? That is not to defend the Greatest Heaven Sect, but to dig a few more shovels in the process of digging the Greatest Heaven Sect’s grave.
The image of sect master Li in Mao Qi’s heart at the moment has changed from sacrificing oneself to protect the sect to another subversive image, and even several other core high-level officials are suspected. After all, the matter involves so many masters, even the grand elders are involved. If sect master Li and several core senior officials hadn’t intervened, how could he, Mao Qi, not even know about it?
Now everyone looked at Mao Qi, and there was no tolerance at all. Everyone is patient, just waiting for someone to serve tea to see off the guests.
“If the Greatest Heaven Sect can do one thing, this matter is not non-negotiable.” An elder from the rogue cultivators alliance suddenly said. His words attracted everyone’s attention. Even Mao Qi looked at the elder nervously and expectantly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
“The Greatest Heaven Sect should open the demon sealing formation and hand everyone over to us, starting from sect master Li, every disciple of the Greatest Heaven Sect should be at ease. After we have screened and found out everything one by one, we will leave.” The elder was not polite at all and directly made his request.
“I also swear by my inner demons that I will never avenge my personal revenge, and I will never wrongly accuse any Greatest Heaven Sect disciple. After finding out, the Greatest Heaven is still the Greatest Heaven Sect. How to solve the formation issue, and the Greatest Heaven Sect can also join us at that time to contribute.” Maybe he felt that the previous request was not sincere enough, so the elder emphasized it in particular to also swear on his own heart demons.
However, in Mao Qi’s eyes, these words were simply a mockery of him and sect master Li’s three consecutive inner demon oaths in less than two months.
Not to mention such a sarcastic attitude, how could the Greatest Heaven Sect accept this condition? Let everyone in the Greatest Heaven Sect stay at ease and wait for investigation. It would be better to destroy the Greatest Heaven Sect. If the Greatest Heaven Sect really experienced such a thing, there would be no need to establish a foothold in the human world.
“I also swear by my inner demon that as long as the Greatest Heaven Sect implements these conditions, I and my sect will never cause trouble to the Greatest Heaven Sect.” After Elder Sanxiu swore, Mrs. Fanghua followed closely.
Next, many sect representatives all swore with their inner demons, expressing the same meaning, and everyone in the Greatest Heaven Sect was at ease. This condition is easier to accept than the Greatest Heaven Sect closing the mountain or something like that. You did something wrong at the Greatest Heaven Sect and just want to walk away, how could it be so easy?
“Impossible!” How could Mao Qi agree? He immediately categorically rejected it. It’s a matter of the Greatest Heaven Sect’s face. Even if it means death, they cannot accept such an insult: “Handing over the erring disciples and sealing the mountain for a thousand years is my Greatest Heaven Sect’s bottom line. I will never agree to such an excessive request!”
As if he felt that this attitude would break down soon, Mao Qi then made some appropriate concessions: “If sealing the mountain for a thousand years does not satisfy you, the Greatest Heaven Sect is willing to seal the mountain for two thousand years. There is no need to talk about the rest.”
“What a plan!” Mrs. Fanghua’s clapping sound sounded loud and clear, and each sound was very abrupt: “What a plan! Even a small sect like our Yin-Yang Demon Sect has two demon-sealing formations. In the Greatest Heaven Sect, there is such a super spirit gathering array, how can it be possible without setting up a few more in the secret sealing place? Leave one for us to fight for, the Greatest Heaven Sect has spent two thousand years to recharge its energy, how clever!”
Everyone may have thought of this, but no one has said it out loud. Now Mrs. Fanghua took the initiative, she ruined the Greatest Heaven Sect’s wishful thinking. Everyone who had been looking at Mao Qi very unkindly now looked at Mao Qi as if they were about to get angry at him.
“If the Greatest Heaven Sect is going to use this clumsy method to get through, then we, the Yin-Yang Demon Sect, will not join in the fun and talk to the Greatest Heaven Sect.” Mrs. Fanghua strongly stated her sect’s position at this moment: “Master Mao, please go back. The next time we meet, it will be a life-and-death battle. It’s better to leave or you won’t get the chance!”
