Chapter 387: Reencounter with You Yunzi

Who is the Masked Kid? And why is he involved with the Demon Empress's daughter?

Qin Wangchuan raised her eyebrows: "Spit it out! Don't beat around the bush! I can't stand people who drag out suspense!"

The Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect, with a stern face, admonished: "Old woman, speak properly! Such vulgar language is disgraceful."

Bang!

Suddenly, the ground beneath Qin Wangchuan's feet cracked. Her small fists had clenched at some point, and her large eyes blazed with fury. It was clear she was about to lash out.

The Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect's face twitched, and he quickly said: "Ahem, the matter is actually quite simple. The Demon Empress's daughter, Liuli, who was in charge of the demonic beasts on the western front, suffered a great loss at the hands of one of our human juniors. She was forced to abandon the demonic hordes on the western front and flee back to the demon race! With the western demons leaderless and no one to manage the overall situation, they could only retreat north."

The other Grand Elders listened with expressions of rare astonishment. Qin Wangchuan suspiciously asked: "The Demon Empress's daughter suffered a loss at the hands of a human junior? She possesses the Demon Empress's bloodline and is incredibly powerful. How could she suffer a loss against a human junior?"

The Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect showed a playful smile. "Note my wording: a *great* loss! Would you believe he took the Demon Empress's daughter's virginity?" The other Grand Elders were instantly dumbfounded. This was truly shocking.

The dignified Demon Empress's daughter, commander of the western front, was... defiled by a human junior? Yu Yingchen shivered: "How could that kid bring himself to do it? Demons have ugly appearances; just touching them is disgusting. And to... do that..."

The other elders shuddered in disgust. "Old Yu, just know it, don't say it out loud! You're giving me goosebumps." "Just for that, I somewhat admire the kid." But the Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect showed a strange expression.

"You've misunderstood," he clarified. "That Demon Empress's daughter was naturally born with a human physique, almost indistinguishable from us. And... she's devastatingly beautiful, not inferior to Liu Qingxian, who is considered the most beautiful disciple of the Nine Sects."

The elders were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned ashen. "That little rascal, he got off easy!"

The Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect also showed a hint of envy. He shook his head slightly: "If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. This kid also stole all her treasures, including the demon race's natural top-grade artifact, the Heaven-Shaking Bow."

What?! He took her virginity and then stole her treasures?

"I thought merely abandoning her after the fact was bad enough, but this kid is even worse than a scoundrel!" "The Demon Empress's daughter truly hit rock bottom encountering him."

The Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect's mouth twitched. "And there's more. He lured Elder Xu Qingyang of our sect to hunt her down, nearly costing her life in human territory. If not for that Sky-Devouring Tiger protecting her with its life, she would have surely met her demise on our human lands."

The other Grand Elders exchanged glances. "He took her body, stole her treasures, and then tried to take her life. He truly left nothing behind, utterly wiping the slate clean. He's genuinely a scoundrel, and genuinely ruthless! No wonder that demoness hasn't dared to return to the western front."

Yu Yingchen said in astonishment: "So, the demon race's decisive battle is partly for revenge for the Demon Empress's daughter. This kid, all by himself, changed the battlefield situation?" The Grand Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect rubbed his nose: "You could say that."

The group of Grand Elders were speechless. They had been fighting tooth and nail on the front lines, yet it seemed nothing they did had as much impact as a single junior's outrageous actions from the rear.

Qin Wangchuan spat lightly: "Scoundrel!" "Since the decisive battle is about to begin, the Demon Emperor will soon arrive at the front line. That will be our cue to infiltrate the demon territory. So, shall we adjourn?" Yu Yingchen nodded.

Then, suddenly remembering something, he slapped his forehead: "Damn it, I should have warned Jiang Fan just now." Qin Wangchuan's eyes turned to him, showing confusion.

Yu Yingchen glanced at the Grand Elder of the Joyous Union Sect and said: "To prepare for the front line, several sect masters have already arrived. Among them is the Joyous Union Sect Master. If Jiang Fan were to encounter her..."

Jiang Fan, however, knew nothing of this. After settling Chuan Chuan, he decisively went to the Giant Sect. "I am Jiang Fan, a disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect, here to undertake a Tier 1 mission."

Before he left, Jiang Fan had requested the Sect Master to assign him a Tier 1 mission. The Sect Master offered several, and he chose the most challenging one: interrogating a Demon King.

This Demon King had been captured alive from the front lines. It held a significant position within the beast horde, and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion wanted to use it to uncover the horde's next movements, planning an ambush against the demon race.

However, this Demon King was extremely unruly and unafraid of torture, preferring death over submission. In desperation, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion issued an interrogation mission, classified as Tier 1.

Many had accepted this mission, trying every method of interrogation, but all had failed. It was said that even the Elder of the Spirit Beast Sect, who was skilled at dealing with spiritual beasts, couldn't get the Demon King to speak.

"Another one wasting time," grumbled the Mission Hall steward, a burly man with an exceptionally imposing physique. Hearing it was an interrogation of a Demon King, and then learning it was a disciple from the Azure Cloud Sect, he immediately showed an impatient expression. His disdain for the Azure Cloud Sect was almost palpable.

Jiang Fan frowned. The Azure Cloud Sect and the Giant Sect had never been very harmonious. Their relationship worsened significantly after the Giant Sect's Grand Elder, Tie Bubai, suddenly died outside the Azure Cloud Sect's borders. Jiang Fan had expected some difficulty, but this overt hostility made it clear what other Azure Cloud Sect disciples must face when interacting with the Giant Sect.

Without a word, Jiang Fan slammed his mission jade slip onto the table. "This is a mission issued by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. The question is, will you cooperate or not?" The Mission Hall steward's tiger-like eyes narrowed, and he chuckled angrily: "Are you threatening me? Don't you know where you are?"

Jiang Fan wasted no more breath. He immediately took out paper and pen and began writing a letter. Upon seeing the content, the steward's eyelids twitched. It was an accusation letter addressed to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

The accusation stated that the Giant Sect was resisting a Heavenly Secret Pavilion mission, harboring a Demon King, and had unclear intentions. "Aren't you ashamed? You're writing an accusation letter for this?" the steward demanded, his face flushing with anger. He had merely intended to make things difficult; was such an overreaction necessary? And "harboring a Demon King with unclear intentions"? Who could possibly bear such a grave accusation? He might as well just say the Giant Sect was colluding with demons!

Jiang Fan, however, retorted with righteous indignation: "If a dignified Grand Sect Master isn't ashamed to write an accusation letter, why should I be?"

Just then, a Giant Sect elder, looking anxious, bowed slightly and stammered: "Vice Pavilion Master Yun, what an honor to have you here! I apologize for not greeting you sooner. I'll inform the Sect Master immediately."

A venerable old man, holding a whisk and dressed in a Taoist robe, exuding an air of immortality, strode steadily towards the Mission Hall. Without turning his head, he said: "No need. This Vice Pavilion Master is here to retrieve the mission registration records. I'll leave once I have them."

The missions completed by disciples from all sects were tallied monthly, and each disciple's mission completion status and merit points earned were publicly announced. It had now been exactly one month since the first missions were issued. You Yunzi had been dispatched to the Nine Sects to collect the mission registration records.

However, as soon as he entered, he heard someone was writing an accusation letter, and his expression immediately turned stern. "What kind of unhealthy trend is this recently? A Grand Sect Master accuses a young disciple over a minor grievance, and now a young disciple accuses the Giant Sect over something trivial?" If this continued, the accusation mechanism would become a joke.

"Which sect are you from, disciple?" You Yunzi questioned, walking towards the back of the person writing the accusation letter. He thought to himself that he would have to properly reprimand this person today, acting in his capacity as Vice Pavilion Master.
