Chapter 35: Demonic cultivators

At the foot of the mountain, a young woman with short white hair and wearing a long purple robe knelt on the ground without moving, her forehead almost touching the dirt.

This person’s name was Quin Xuxu,, and she was one of the few Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators that entered the Bloody Rose sect recently and was given the task of receiving guests by Feng Shuran. The purple robe was the current uniform used by disciples of the sect.

Quin Xuxu didn’t dare to go up the mountain since there was a rule against it, she could only wait here and hope to be noticed.

Less than a minute after she arrived at the foot of the mountain, a gust of wind blew past her, and someone appeared above her.

The person wasn’t exerting any pressure, but Quin Xuxu felt pressured and didn’t dare to look up.

"Greetings, sect master!" Quin Xuxu said and pressed her forehead on the ground to show respect.

Feng Shuran stared down at her while standing on her flying sword; her expression was cold.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

"Sect master, some people have come hoping to join the sect. They are currently waiting in the hall as you instructed." Quin Xuxu reported without raising her head.

Feng Shuran stared at the other party in silence for a bit before opening her mouth.

"Is that the reason you came here?"

She didn’t see this as enough reason for Quin Xuxu to come looking for her. Others who came to join had waited in the hall until she came down; she had never been called because someone wanted to join the sect.

"Umm, sect master. They are demonic cultivators," Quin Xuxu slowly said.

Personally, she would have driven them away. Demonic cultivators were people who cultivated through evil methods and didn’t have problems killing others for unnecessary reasons; they were the public enemy of every other cultivation system.

However, the sect master was once the leader of an assassin temple and was branded as an evil cultivator by the sects in Oghara. Adding to how she had massacred many cultivators not long ago, it was difficult to know which side she was on.

Therefore, Quin Xuxu didn’t dare decide on this matter and came to report it instead.

After learning that the newcomers were demonic cultivators, Feng Shuran frowned slightly.

She didn’t like demonic cultivators either and had even lost some disciples to them back when she still had her temple.

"You can go back; I’ll be there shortly." Feng Shuran said before disappearing up the mountain.

"Understood," Quin Xuxu said and stood up after Feng Shuran disappeared.

She summoned her flying sword and stepped on it. She looked at the mountain for a moment before flying away.

Meanwhile, Feng Shuran returned to the courtyard and went to look for Gu Chen.

"Master, there are demonic cultivators wanting to join the sect. Should I accept them?" She asked after seeing Gu Chen.

"Kill them," Gu Chen said right away, not even giving it a moment of thought.

His reason? He hated demonic cultivators; they had caused him a lot of trouble back then. Gu Chen was convinced that there were no good demonic cultivators; anyone who wasn’t causing trouble yet just wasn’t strong enough.

Feng Shuran was slightly surprised by her master’s response and how fast it came; it was the first time he had asked her to kill a group of newcomers instead of chasing them away.

"I understand, Master." Feng Shuran bowed and immediately flew out, slowly heading to the hall located in one of the five peaks of the Bloody Rose sect.

After Shuran left, Gu Chen returned his focus to the system page in front of him.

.....

The Villainess Management system!

Host: Gu Chen!

Org: Bloody Rose!

Org rank: Gold!

MP: 48,075/100,000

Members: 1

...

Inventory/ Store/ Skills.

....

Gu Chen’s expression was serious. He stared at his balance. He had purchased some mission cards after Feng Shuran completed the mission he gave her last time. He had also bought some...edibles from the system.

So he still had quite a lot of MPs left; Gu Chen was currently considering what else to buy.

He personally didn’t need anything at the moment; his robe could still carry him safely until he met cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Realm. And while he wasn’t planning to go down the mountain anytime soon, he still had five teleportation scrolls, two Nascent Soul-grade defence spell cards, some super medkits, and the recall skill that could bring him back to base at any time.

Gu Chen believed he was quite alright and didn’t need to bother about his safety for some time.

Then, there was Feng Shuran. She was currently training a Heavenly-grade Cultivation Technique, the Ten Shadows Assassin.

While this technique could help her get to the Spirit Transformation Realm, Gu Chen was considering buying her an Immortal-grade Cultivation Technique instead.

"Hmm, I’ll just wait for her to fully understand the Ten Shadows Assassin technique first." Gu Chen mumbled to himself, deciding to postpone the matter of getting Shuran a new technique.

At the moment, Feng Shuran could only summon five clones of herself, and Gu Chen had seen how valuable the extra Shurans were during battles. He could imagine how magnificent it would be when she could summon ten and there would be eleven Shurans on the battlefield!

Her opponent would probably spit blood from fright.

After deciding not to purchase a cultivation technique yet, next was a magical treasure. Gu Chen didn’t even consider it, as Feng Shuran currently had the black needle that was of the Immortal grade.

The Formless Needle technique was also fine. Gu Chen had recently realised that the system had given him the two Chapters of the skill and marked it as a Heavenly-grade skill, even though he originally planned to purchase an Earth-grade one that was sold for 5000MP, but that would have gotten him only one scroll.

The addition of the second scroll had increased the grade of the skill!

"Then, I should just save for the next level up?"

For some reason, Gu Chen badly wanted to buy something from the system. Was this the feeling of having great wealth?

....

While Gu Chen was browsing through the system’s store, Feng Shuran arrived at one of the mountains of the sect.

She drifted to the ground and slowly stepped on the concrete floor.

The place was quite lively as several female disciples in purple robes moved about. Some were sweeping the place while others were carrying things around.

All of them stopped the moment they noticed Feng Shuran; they immediately bowed in her direction and greeted her in loud voices.

"Greetings, sect master!"

Their voices resounded through the air. Feng Shuran glanced at them; her expression was calm instead of her usual coldness when dealing with outsiders.

She nodded her head before walking towards the hall with small steps.

Only after she left did the female disciples straighten their bodies and resume what they were doing.

It took Feng Shuran less than a minute to arrive at the hall. Quin Xuxu was waiting at the entrance; she immediately greeted Feng Shuran upon seeing her.

Shuran nodded and went past her, entering the hall.

The hall was very spacious, with a high platform at the end, five steps led up the platform, and three grand seats were placed on top.

Below the platform, two rows of seats were positioned on both corners of the hall, the space in the middle was still enough to accommodate a hundred people.

Feng Shuran glanced to the left; a group of people in black robes were currently occupying several seats on that side.

From where she was standing, Feng Shuran could sense the heavy blood aura from them. These people had ended a lot of lives.

Upon noticing Feng Shuran entering the hall, the people in black robes stood up and bowed to her.

"We pay our respects to Senior Invisible Killer!" They shouted in unison.

Feng Shuran’s eyes slowly grew cold, and she started walking towards them while checking their strength. There were nine of them; three were at the Foundation Establishment Realm while the other six were QI Gathering Realm cultivators.

After not hearing any response, the demonic cultivators raised their heads and saw the Invisible Killer walking over.

One of them immediately stepped forward with his body still bent.

"Senior Invisible Killer, we have long heard and admired your method of dealings across the region. We noticed that you do not care about the ways of the righteous sects and handle things your own way.

This is what a true cultivator is supposed to be like. We hope to join your sect and learn under you.

Please accept us, Senior Invisible Killer!" The cultivator said, his tone filled with worship.

"Please accept us, Senior Invisible Killer!" The others behind him repeated.

Quin Xuxu stood by the entrance of the hall and watched. Their voices made her skin crawl for some reason, and she shifted her eyes to the back of the sect master.

’Are demonic cultivators really going to enter the sect?’
