Chapter 31: Sect Master, What’s Wrong with You?

Long Huwei had been infused with the Soul Flower by his father, Long Batian, and had effortlessly reached the cultivation level of a One-Star Heavenly Soul Demon. Now, he was cultivating within the sect’s primal spiritual veins. As long as he had enough demonic energy, he could keep advancing. By now, Long Huwei had already reached the level of a Six-Star Earthly Soul Demon and would soon break through to the level of a Lower Earthly Soul Demon.

The communication card activated.
“Haha, Brother Qu Yi is truly amazing! Despite our senior sending so many strong fighters, not a single hidden elder was killed—Brother Qu Yi single-handedly dealt with them all,” Long Huwei exclaimed excitedly after reading the message on the card. He then forwarded the message to Long Zhan Tian.

Long Zhan Tian and the eleven elders were in the sect’s affairs council, busy mobilizing troops to deal with Zhuang Guangming. Suddenly, Long Zhan Tian stopped talking to the elders and took out the communication card.
“Elders, I have good news for you. The forty assassins sent by Zhuang Guangming have all been killed by Qu Yi,” Long Zhan Tian said happily.

What!
The eleven elders stared at Long Zhan Tian in shock, unable to believe it.
“What kind of cultivation level does this Qu Yi have? How could he easily kill forty elders? Even we elders couldn’t kill forty of them at once.”
“Yes, although we’re all at the level of Upper Earthly Soul Demons, it’s extremely difficult to find those forty elders who can suppress demonic energy fluctuations among the vast number of cultivators on the Sun Continent.”
“No wonder none of our core disciples have died recently.”
“Now that those hidden assassins are gone, our core disciples can operate freely on the Sun Continent. Our elders no longer need to be stuck there; they can be sent to the Fire Continent and Water Continent.”
“Qu Yi has done us a huge favor this time.”
“Sect Master, why don’t we ask Qu Yi to help us assassinate Zhuang Guangming’s other elders as well?”
“That’s right! If Qu Yi helps us, we can eliminate all of Zhuang Guangming’s elders. Then, what strength will Zhuang Guangming have left to oppose us?”
…
The eleven elders grew more and more excited as they spoke, beginning to recognize Qu Yi’s strength. Hearing their words, Long Zhan Tian also formed his own plans.

“Elders, since you all recognize Qu Yi’s strength this much, then I will grant him the position of Honorary Elder. As long as Qu Yi agrees to join our Tyrannosaurus Sect, he will become an elder,” Long Zhan Tian said immediately.
With Qu Yi’s ability to defeat forty elders, these elders already recognized that his strength was comparable to that of a high-ranking Earth Soul Demon.
“I agree!” …
All eleven elders had no objections and approved of Long Zhan Tian’s proposal. They were well aware that once Qu Yi accepted the title of Honorary Elder, Long Zhan Tian could easily ask him to deal with Zhuang Guangming again. Moreover, if Qu Yi wanted any rewards in the future, there would be much less to offer.
Soon, Long Zhan Tian sent a message to Long Hu Wei.
It wasn’t long before Long Hu Wei replied to Long Zhan Tian.
“What? Qu Yi refuses our title of Honorary Elder!” After reading the message, Long Zhan Tian shouted loudly in front of the eleven elders.
The eleven elders also showed expressions of surprise.
“This Qu Yi is really interesting,” they thought to themselves.
Long Zhan Tian calmed down, sat down on the chair, and said softly, “Since Qu Yi doesn’t want to join our Tyrannosaurus Sect, let’s give him some compensation instead. We can still be friends with him and ask him to help me deal with Zhuang Guangming’s elders.”
Since these people already recognized Qu Yi’s strength as that of a high-ranking Earth Soul Demon, they had no choice but to accept his decision not to join the sect. If he couldn’t become a member of the sect, then let him be a friend. Under no circumstances should they become enemies!
A short while later, Long Zhan Tian sent another message to Long Hu Wei, asking him to convey to Qu Yi the request to deal with Zhuang Guangming’s elders once more.
※※※
Zhuang Guangming and the nine elders who supported him remained in the Light Palace. At that moment, all ten of them looked depressed.
“The forty elders sent to the Land of the Sun have all died!”
This news upset them greatly. Although those forty elders hadn’t decided the outcome of the battle, it had significantly dampened Zhuang Guangming’s side’s morale.
Fifty million disciples dead, forty elders dead—such news, once spread among the disciples, would quickly crush their confidence. Without confidence, there could be no talk of a decisive battle.
“Elders, let’s completely give up on the Land of the Sun. We just need to wait for the people sent by Emperor Ze to arrive. Then we can kill Long Zhan Tian together and take back the Land of the Sun.”

After a while, Long Zhan Tian spoke calmly.
The final decisive battle for the position of sect master this time would still be a fight between the elders of both sides. Now, Long Zhan Tian no longer wanted his disciples to engage in combat; instead, he chose to defend and wait for the people sent by Emperor Ze.
Upon hearing this, the nine elders immediately understood Zhuang Guangming’s intentions and agreed in their hearts.
“Good, then we’ll just defend the Land of Unity and the Land of Water,” said all nine elders, expressing the same thought.
The scene fell silent once again.
※※※
Qu Yi had already arrived on the Land of Unity.
After receiving the message from Long Hu Wei, Qu Yi knew that Long Zhan Tian wanted him to deal with the elders on Zhuang Guangming’s side. Without hesitation, he rushed over quickly.
On a mountain peak…
“Long Zhan Tian is really good at planning—he actually wants me to become an elder of the Baolong Sect. Ah, how could I, Qu Yi, be bound? I can roam freely in the realms of immortals, demons, and monsters. How could a tiny Baolong Sect try to restrict me?”
Qu Yi stood on the mountain peak, murmuring to himself.
“However, since I’ve accepted my brother Long Hu Wei, I naturally will help him. After Long Zhan Tian, the position of sect master of the Baolong Sect must pass to Long Hu Wei. Otherwise, I’ll come and take control of the Baolong Sect. Anyone who dares to oppose Long Hu Wei will die.” Qu Yi spoke softly again.
Before he could finish pondering, the God of Weapons sent a message.
“Qu Yi, 1,000 kilometers to the southeast, there’s a primordial ore vein. Ten elders are stationed there. Do you want to deal with them?”
There were also many primordial ore veins on the Land of Unity, and Zhuang Guangming naturally occupied a few of them.
Hearing this, Qu Yi shrugged and smiled, “With a target, I certainly won’t miss it. I’ll go and kill those ten.”
With that, Qu Yi took off in the air.
For this primordial ore vein, Zhuang Guangming had sent ten million disciples, all under the command of ten elders at the mid-level Earth Soul Demon rank.
Each of these ten elders built a cultivation cave at the center of the camp, with their core disciples building caves around them, all working together to guard against potential attacks.
At that moment, an imperceptible speck of dust drifted in a gust of wind toward one of the elders’ cultivation caves.
That dust was, of course, the Dimension Ball.
It wasn’t long before the Dimension Ball arrived outside the cave. It floated within the array barriers outside the cave without triggering them, perfectly breaking through the defenses and entering the cave.
Inside the cave, a refined-looking middle-aged man was in deep meditation.
Suddenly, Qu Yi appeared.

As Qu Yi stepped out, there was already that life core that had transformed into a mid-tier Soul Demon level.
“You…”
The elder had just opened his eyes; before he could utter a word of surprise, he realized his Soul Flower was flowing out violently, being absorbed by the life core above him.
By the time the elder tried to struggle, Qu Yi had already plunged Wu Xi Sword into his body, pouring in large amounts of chaotic energy. With his Soul Flower under control and no access to his demonic energy, the elder immediately became completely defenseless.
It wasn’t long before Qu Yi killed the elder.
Qu Yi had already slain forty elders. He had become highly skilled at dealing with such powerful opponents, to the point where killing them no longer caused him any sensation.
“Another one killed. How unchallenging,” Qu Yi sighed in his cave dwelling.
Immediately afterward, he entered the Dimension Ball and effortlessly emerged from the formation once again.
With the Artifact God present, such formation restrictions were practically meaningless. The Artifact God was a master of formations, one who had descended from the divine realm.
Within a few days, Qu Yi used the Dimension Ball to enter the cultivation caves of ten more elders and eliminated them all.
Each of these elders would spend years in meditation once they began cultivating. Thus, even after killing ten elders in those few days, nothing unusual happened—no one noticed that they were dead.
At that moment, Qu Yi stood atop a mountain.
He had taken out his communication card.
“Brother Hu Wei, tell Long Zhan Tian that I’ve killed all ten elders incharge of the Yu Bo Origin Mine on the Gongzhi Continent. Have him send troops to seize that mine.”
After sending the message, Qu Yi smiled and said, “Without the elders in charge, as long as Long Zhan Tian sends troops, Zhuang Guangming’s ten million disciples will be easy prey for him to devour.”
Then, Qu Yi flew away, heading to other parts of the Gongzhi Continent to assassinate more elders from Zhuang Guangming’s faction.
Meanwhile, in the：：暴龙宗.’s council hall, Long Zhan Tian was discussing matters with eleven elders.
Suddenly, the communication card vibrated.
“Ah…” Long Zhan Tian was stunned for a moment.
“Elder Master, what’s wrong?” one of the elders asked worriedly.
All the elders quietly turned to look at Long Zhan Tian.
“Qu Yi… that Qu Yi has killed all the elders in charge of the Yu Bo Origin Mine on the Gongzhi Continent. He’s asking us to send disciples to wipe out those ten million people,” Long Zhan Tian finally said.

The eleven elders were surprised, then immediately stood up happily, somewhat excited. These ten million disciples were doomed.
