My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1697: Chapter 384: Seal the Sect Gates (Part 2)

The Horrified Demon, despite being in the Indestructible Period, now facing the Sect Hierarch’s fury, felt like a young scholar making a mistake in front of his master, bowing his head and quietly saying, “Sect Hierarch, I went to capture, but did not succeed.”

The anger of the Soul Breaking Sect Leader showed no sign of diminishing, and he said angrily, “Did not succeed? You, a dignified being in the Indestructible Period, couldn’t capture the Mesmerizing Demon, who’s merely in the early phase of the Longevity Period?”

The Horrified Demon helplessly replied, “Sect Hierarch, I initially could have captured her, but she suddenly cast a sort of Charm Technique, after which I fell under its spell. When other disciples woke me up and I tried to chase her again, she had already fled far away.”

He knew that such words were hard to believe. If it were him hearing someone in the latter stage of the Indestructible Period saying they’d fallen for a Charm Technique from someone only in the early phase of the Longevity Period, he wouldn’t believe it either.

“Charm Technique?” The anger in the Soul Breaking Sect Leader’s expression immediately dissipated upon hearing, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes as he muttered, “Charm Technique? Could it be that lineage? No, how could she have inherited that lineage, and although she is a woman able to use such a charm technique, her appearance couldn’t possibly conjure such a spell.”

The Horrified Demon, listening to the sect leader’s mutterings, recalled when the Mesmerizing Demon turned to gaze at him, the unrivaled beauty he saw, and involuntarily said, “Sect Hierarch, when she turned back then, I felt I saw another face, an unmatched beauty, that gave me the feeling that she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

I don’t know if that’s her true appearance or if it’s the effect of her Charm Technique.”

“What!” The Soul Breaking Sect Leader suddenly looked up at the Horrified Demon, and in the next moment, his face revealed a frightening expression as he whispered, “Is it really that lineage? Has that lineage’s heritage indeed remained, surviving until the generation of the Mesmerizing Demon?”

It was only after becoming the temporary sect leader that he learned some secrets.

Although the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect was not very ancient among the Great Teachings, they were incredibly formidable in talent.

Not to mention the current Weeping Blood Demon Sect, even the top Great Teachings like Dragon Chant Sect and Yin Yang Sect wouldn’t dare provoke them easily.

The reason the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect was so formidable is that they harbored a lineage of immense strength, skilled in attacks targeting the three souls and seven spirits, and various charm techniques.

Even beings in the True Immortal Realm could fall prey inadvertently.

But that lineage demanded extremely strict conditions for successors. Besides needing to be a woman, one must be a national beauty with Innate Allure Bone.

Furthermore, there seemed to be requirements for the qualification in Immortal Cultivation, namely the Immortal Body; only the Charm Body could cultivate that lineage’s spell.

Later on, for some unknown reason, that lineage became a traitor to their Soul Breaking Demonic Sect, but the specific reason remains unknown to him.

In the end, that lineage vanished from the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect, and at the time, they thought it had entirely disappeared.

Yet who knew that later, the current generation of Soul Breaking Demonic Sect’s leader discovered that the lineage had not vanished but stayed within the sect, hiding so well that even the hierarch hadn’t identified who the successor is.

The sect leader, before going into reclusion, even left a document instructing every temporary sect leader to keep an eye on that lineage, ensuring to imprison the successor once discovered, waiting for the hierarch’s awakening for personal interrogation.

Within it, the sect leader also described some characteristics; the strongest aspect of that lineage was indeed the Charm Technique, allowing even beings in the early phase of the Longevity Period to employ Mysterious Rank spells using their Immortal Body and Innate Allure Bone.

The Horrified Demon, being in the latter stage of the Indestructible Period, falling for the Mesmerizing Demon’s Charm Technique, must have been a Mysterious Rank spell.

The Mesmerizing Demon could likely be the successor of that lineage.

According to the document left by the old sect leader, he should now send people to capture the Mesmerizing Demon, but given the current state of the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect, how could he proceed?

Moreover, even his most talented descendants are dead, and he has given all resources to Wu Xia, leaving them depleted now.

Having finally vented his anger, he regained some rationality with the Mesmerizing Demon’s emergence.

He looked around, then reluctantly waved his hand, saying, “Seal the mountain gate, from now on, forbid anyone from leaving the Great Teaching.”

Subsequently, he turned and left the mountain gate position.

During his flight, one could clearly see his figure became much more hunched. He genuinely felt that his heart had turned to ashes.

Before long, all the experts of the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect had gathered within the Conference Hall.

“That’s how the situation stands. Our people likely aren’t coming back, and even if they escape, the forces of Dragon Chant Sect, Yin Yang Sect, and Hundred Peaks Sect will immediately pursue them afterward. Thus, all we can do now is to seal the mountain gate and prepare for a deadly battle.”

Among those below, some had received the news beforehand, but many learned it for the first time, causing the solemn Conference Hall to explode into chaos, with countless exclamations echoing.

“Damn it, Dragon Chant Sect and Yin Yang Sect people are actually helping Hundred Peaks Sect!”
