Chapter 156: Chapter 121: Saint Demon Sect Chat Group

This way, the Purple Lotus Demon and the Letter Paper Seeds essentially became Lu Changfeng’s private telegraph service.

As for the observation seeds, the Purple Lotus Demon was still unable to transmit their visual feed to him.

He’d have to continue researching how to use them.

Perhaps he would have an unexpected breakthrough the next time he successfully replicated a portion of the Purple Lotus Demon Bloodline.

Lu Changfeng strode out from the depths of the temple.

’Wuu Xing Temple is almost completely destroyed. I wonder what the people of Xing City will think when they wake up tomorrow.’

In the temple courtyard, the five Demon Sect leaders stood with varied expressions on their faces.

Seeing Lu Changfeng emerge, they all came forward, knelt on one knee, and hailed him as "Saint Master."

Lu Changfeng’s earlier exposure of the Soul Suppressing Demon Sect, along with the power of the mark he wielded, had already won the conviction of the other three sect leaders.

Lu Changfeng nodded slightly. "Give me all the letter papers you have with the lotus mark."

Although the Demon Sect leaders were confused, they handed over the letter papers.

Lu Changfeng quickly gathered all twenty-three letter papers in his hand.

"The Lotus Demon, who was once the Sect Leader of our Saint Demon Sect, had his soul stolen by the Soul Suppressing technique. He was lucky to have a wisp of his remnant soul survive, but he can never recover to his former state."

"Fortunately, this wisp of a remnant soul is still willing to lend me a hand."

Lu Changfeng flicked five letter papers toward the five Demon Sect leaders.

"These letter papers now have a new purpose."

"Hold these. No matter how far apart we are, I can contact you through them."

"Purple Lotus Demon, record the holders of these five letter papers."

"Then, send the name of their respective Demon Sect to each of the five papers."

As Lu Changfeng’s voice fell, the five Demon Sect leaders watched as the names of their respective Demon Sects quickly materialized on the blank letter papers in their hands.

It was the names of their respective Demon Sects.

Xuansha, Dark Buddha Demon Sect.

Purple Dragon, Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect.

Yui Ya...

Under the watchful eyes of the Demon Sect leaders, the writing quickly faded away.

"I never thought the letter papers had such a wonderful use," the leader of the Bone-Eroding Demon Sect said in amazement.

"So, you’re saying the former Sect Leader is now just a remnant soul, like a machine. He can’t spy on us through this, and even if he could, as just a wisp of a soul under your control, Saint Master, he couldn’t do anything," Yui Ya deduced. Her own senses had previously detected the spying from the letter paper.

Before, the Purple Lotus Demon could spy on the various Demon Sects to know their actions and locations, acting all high and mighty.

Now, as a remnant soul, he had instead developed a function that was more beneficial to the Saint Demon Sect as an organization.

Lu Changfeng gave a noncommittal nod.

"Well then, Saint Master, can *you* spy on us through the Purple Lotus Demon’s remnant soul?" Yui Ya said, slipping the letter paper through the gap in her clothes and tucking it into her bosom.

"If it’s you, this servant is more than willing."

Lu Changfeng ignored the woman’s words. Instead, Xuansha stepped forward. "Yui Ya, please respect the Saint Master. Otherwise, don’t blame this monk’s Iron Fist for being merciless."

Yui Ya rolled her eyes at the clueless bald man next to her. "Alright, alright. So you started following the Saint Master a little earlier. We’ll see who he favors in the future. It’s not set in stone."

"Enough." Lu Changfeng raised a hand, signaling for them to be quiet.

"Let me demonstrate how to use the letter paper."

"For example, if I want to contact Xuansha, I will speak to the Purple Lotus Demon and have it establish a dialog box with Xuansha."

Xuansha took out his letter paper, and a dialog box indeed appeared.

Lu Changfeng spoke: "Xuansha, how old are you?"

Hearing Lu Changfeng’s words, the Purple Lotus Demon immediately transmitted them as text onto Xuansha’s letter paper.

Xuansha rubbed his bald head and said, "This monk is seventy-eight years old this year."

Xuansha’s words were also converted into text and appeared on Lu Changfeng’s letter paper.

"Understand now?" Lu Changfeng asked. The Demon Sect leaders, carefully holding their letter papers, nodded thoughtfully.

"Because the Purple Lotus Demon is with me, I can contact you instantly through the letter paper to give orders or important news."

"The Purple Lotus Demon can also observe the area within a meter or two of the paper to receive your messages. But it is only a remnant soul, so it can’t be watching your papers at all times."

"So it can’t receive your messages as instantly as it receives mine. If you have something urgent, take out the paper and call out a few times. It will eventually notice you."

"The Purple Lotus Demon can also allow you to contact each other through the papers on the same principle. Therefore, I have used this to create a shared chat group for myself and the Eight Great Demon Sects to make communication easier. Perhaps in the future, I will add the Ten Great Demon Generals as well."

After Lu Changfeng finished speaking, another frame appeared on everyone’s letter paper.

The frame bore a title in large characters: Saint Demon Sect Chat Group.

Lu Changfeng said, "If you find it more convenient to write, you can also write on the paper itself. The Purple Lotus Demon can sense it."

Lu Changfeng took his letter paper and wrote a sentence.

A message immediately appeared in the frame. ℯℯ𝑙.

Saint Master: Good evening, everyone. I am the Saint Master, the owner of this group.

Blood Saber Demon Sect: The Saint Master is mighty!

Gluttony Demon Sect: The Saint Master’s Divine Techniques are overwhelming!

Bone-Eroding Demon Sect: This is interesting!

Dark Buddha Demon Sect: Amitabha Buddha!

Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect: &...%

"Huh? Purple Dragon, what did you write? Did the Purple Lotus Demon perceive it wrong?" Lu Changfeng frowned at Purple Dragon.

Purple Dragon scratched his head. "The Purple Lotus Demon perceived it correctly. This subordinate was just testing to see if the chat group could display patterns and stuff. As expected of the Saint Master’s remnant soul, it’s truly amazing!"

Lu Changfeng and the other Demon Sect leaders were speechless.

A new message appeared in the chat box.

Ancient Purple Lotus Demon (Remnant Soul): Thank you for the praise!

Even the remnant soul came out to join the fun.

It could no longer speak or form a human shape; text was its only way to communicate.

Lu Changfeng, taking pity on it, tacitly allowed it.

...

Lu Changfeng put away the letter paper and clapped his hands to get the Demon Sect leaders’ attention.

"From now on, the position of Saint Demon Sect Master will no longer exist."

"The Martial Arts passed down by the Soul Suppressing Demon Sect are too dangerous. As of today, they are stripped of their title. If you encounter any Soul Suppressing Demon Sect disciples in the future, treat them as traitors to the sect. Kill them all for me."

"The Saint Demon Sect will add the Sword Killing Demon Sect, the Moon Concealing Demon Sect, and the Law Enforcement Demon Sect. This brings the total to the Eight Great Demon Sects. If there are any new additions in the future, you will be notified."

"I will now issue your missions for the coming period. Does anyone have any objections?"

Issuing missions was Lu Changfeng’s way of declaring his authority.

After the day’s events, the five Demon Sect leaders naturally had no other ideas and all expressed their submission.

Although Lu Changfeng, the Saint Master, lacked personal strength in Martial Arts due to his youth, the abilities he had demonstrated were more than enough to lead them all.

Besides, with the Saint Master’s Ancient Hero Root Bone, it was only a matter of time before his strength would increase.

Seeing that the Demon Sect leaders had all expressed their submission and were willing to accept his arrangements, Lu Changfeng began to assign tasks to them according to his own plans.

Zhongli Yan of the Blood Saber Demon Sect will continue to operate in the Western Capital Prefecture. If we are ever truly defeated in the struggle against the Imperial Court, that place will be the Saint Demon Sect’s last sanctuary.

The Bone-Eroding Demon Sect and the Gluttony Demon Sect will lead their elite disciples to Yong City in Yunyang Prefecture. They are to merge with the Saint Demon Sect’s forces there and prepare for the coming storm in Yunyang Prefecture.

The elite disciples of the Assassination Demon Sect will remain in Jia City. Led by Xuannu, Xuanxin, and Xuanchen, they will work with the Sword Killing Demon Sect and the Hua Family to handle any potential conflicts with Jiangnan Prefecture and Daliang.

If they defeated the Imperial Court in the future, those two cities in Jiangnan Prefecture would become Lu Changfeng’s bridgehead for entering the region.

Lu Changfeng then gave Xuansha four more Letter Paper Seeds and had the Purple Lotus Demon mark them.

He entrusted Xuansha with delivering them to Zhou Shang of the Moon Concealing Demon Sect and Lin Erfeng, whom Lu Changfeng had appointed as the Grand Steward of the Saint Demon Sect.

As well as to Demon General Fanyun and Demon General Lin Xiong.

"Oh, and remember to tell Lin Erfeng to pay close attention to the evolution of the battle situation and combat methods in Jiangnan Prefecture."

"The Jiangnan Prefecture army has created enhanced crossbows. A volley from a hundred men can suppress a Bone Refining Fifth Layer expert to some extent!"

The moment Lu Changfeng said this, the faces of all the Demon Sect leaders turned serious.

A Martial Sect expert at the Bone Refining Fifth Layer possessed the power to shatter mountains. Their Inner Strength had converted into True Energy, allowing them to ignore most conventional injuries.

But now, Blood Forging Realm cultivators could use these enhanced crossbows to suppress a Bone Refining Fifth Layer expert. This meant that on the battlefield, the existence of those in the Blood Forging Realm could no longer be ignored.

"No matter what method Lin Erfeng uses, we must start developing our own enhanced crossbows that can significantly boost the combat power of the Blood Forging Realm. Pool the resources of the six cities and try to achieve self-production as soon as possible."

"If he can’t do it, he doesn’t have to be the Grand Steward anymore. We’ll find a replacement sooner rather than later."

"The final battle with the Imperial Court is not far off. All of you, be prepared."

When Lu Changfeng finished speaking, the five Demon Sect leaders’ expressions grew heavy.

’If the Saint Master, with his foresight, says the final battle isn’t far off, then it is likely very close indeed.’

’The Imperial Court has Yunfo Temple backing it. Right now, the Saint Demon Sect’s leader is just a remnant soul, and the Saint Master has yet to fully mature. Can we really stand against Yunfo Temple?’

"There’s no need for baseless speculation. Just carry out my arrangements. I have a plan for everything."

"Win or lose, I will fight to the last drop of blood. I will not flee and leave others behind."

As Lu Changfeng spoke these words, all five Demon Sect leaders knelt on one knee before him. "Holy Sect Saint Master, your Divine Techniques reach the Nine Heavens!"

These five Demon Sect leaders were, arguably, the main force under Lu Changfeng’s command.

The combined power of these five great Demon Sects was enough to contend with any power in the current world.

But how to fight, and in what order, were matters that required careful consideration.

"Go now. Prepare yourselves."

Lu Changfeng tossed the Ancient Fire Qilin from his shoulder.

The Fire Qilin was already used to Lu Changfeng’s intentions.

In mid-air, it transformed into its true form—a Qilin over three meters long.

"ROAR!"

The Fire Qilin let out a furious roar into the night sky, its Qilin might spreading throughout all of Xing City.

Except for the one who had previously seen its true form at over ten meters long, the other four Demon Sect leaders were all shocked.

The Fire Qilin did not conceal its Ancient Demon Race aura, and the energy it radiated made the hairs on the five Demon Sect leaders’ arms stand on end.

Lu Changfeng leaped lightly onto the Fire Qilin’s back.

He patted the Fire Qilin’s head. "Back to Qin City."

The Fire Qilin gave a low growl, soared into the heavens, and vanished into the clouds, leaving the five Demon Sect leaders staring after it with fervent eyes.
