Chapter 10: Demon Emperor Technique
Xia Yunxi left with a complicated heart, and Lin Fengmian returned with mixed feelings.
As soon as he arrived back at Green Leek Peak, Wang Ming’s sycophants surrounded him, asking, “Where is Brother Wang Ming?”
Usually, the spiritual energy of Green Leek Peak disciples was not drained all at once, but in several sessions.
This was to ensure a steady flow and maximize the use of these disciples, as it was not easy to find disciples with spiritual roots.
Each time the disciples’ primordial yang was drained, their yang energy would become even more vigorous, and their cultivation of the Nine Yang Divine Skill would improve.
It was like a final burst of energy that burned up the disciples’ remaining yang energy and vitality.
The disciples who felt energetic and saw their cultivation improve mistakenly believed that it was due to the dual cultivation, and they became even more eager for it.
However, everyone’s primordial yang was limited. When it was depleted to a certain degree, they would appear weak.
At that time, the senior sisters of Crimson Phoenix Peak would take away the remaining Primordial Yang and all the cultivation of the disciples, creating the illusion that they had entered the inner sect to deceive other disciples.
Wang Ming had been there eight times, which was quite resilient.
According to Lin Fengmian’s observations, he collected corpses from Crimson Phoenix Peak five times a month, with about sixty disciples dying every year.
About the same number of disciples were replenished every year, so the number of disciples at Green Leek Peak remained around one hundred.
Of course, this couldn’t be told to outsiders. Lin Fengmian could only lie, “He passed Senior Sister Liu’s examination and entered the inner sect.”
The surrounding disciples were extremely excited and proud.
After all, according to the teachings of the Joyful Union sect, to enter the inner sect was to dual cultivate with the senior sisters and even the sect elders, which was a great honor.
However, Lin Fengmian noticed a few who had a pensive expression on their faces. These were the disciples who hadn’t lost their minds.
There were always such smart students, but they didn’t live long.
Lin Fengmian had no interest in dealing with them, so he went straight to his residence.
He lay exhausted on his bed, his mind filled with today’s events, silently reviewing his every move.
He had underestimated the Foundation Establishment cultivators. First, he hadn’t been open with Liu Mei from the beginning, and he hadn’t used his backup plan.
Second, he had used the name of the female cultivator of the Joyful Union Sect, Xie Yuyan, which had sown trouble for the future.
If she didn’t emerge from her closed cultivation in time and was confirmed dead, his protective talisman would be gone.
If she came out safely, he didn’t know what she would do next.
And from Liu Mei’s words, it seemed that she was following orders, and the person giving the orders must also be from the Joyful Union Sect.
In any case, he had to find a way to escape the Joyful Union Sect as soon as possible, or else he would inevitably meet a tragic end.
Finally, there was the matter of Xia Yunxi. When he thought of her, Lin Fengmian felt a mixture of emotions.
She had treated him well, had some intimate contact with him, and had shown him some affection.
No one could be indifferent to such a pure and beautiful young woman. Lin Fengmian admitted that he was also attracted to Xia Yunxi.
However, when he thought about her impending Foundation establishment, which would make her like Liu Mei, he felt the urge to take her away at any cost.
He couldn’t bear to see her sink into the Joyful Union Sect and become like those demonic women.
But he was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, barely able to save himself!
Lin Fengmian sighed, knowing that he could only take one step at a time.
He tidied up his emotions and calmly began to cultivate, consolidating the cultivation he had absorbed from Xia Yunxi.
The reason he was able to absorb Xia Yunxi’s spiritual energy was because he wasn’t practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill of the Joyful Union Sect, but the Demon Emperor Technique.
This was the technique he had received from the double-fish jade pendant after his first nightmare, and he had started practicing it three months ago.
Although he didn’t know the effects of this technique, Lin Fengmian thought it was better than the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
But today, it surprised him. This technique could actually absorb the cultivation of others. Wasn’t that a bit too scary?
The Demon Emperor Technique, it truly lived up to its name!
Lin Fengmian planned to ask Luo Xue if she knew what was going on the next time he entered that space.
He wanted to cultivate quietly, but the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind won’t stop. Suddenly, there was a light knock on his door.
Lin Fengmian was taken aback and whispered, “Who is it?”
“Senior Brother Lin, are you resting?” A man’s deep voice came.
Lin Fengmian opened the door suspiciously and saw a young male disciple standing outside.
The man saw Lin Fengmian and bowed politely, “Xie Gui greets Senior Brother Lin.”
“Brother Xie, what can I do for you?”
Lin Fengmian recognized Xie Gui as one of the suspicious students earlier.
“Senior Brother Lin, can we talk inside?” Xie Gui looked around carefully.
Lin Fengmian stepped aside to let Xie Gui in and then closed the door.
When he turned back, he saw Xie Gui kneeling down with a thud, “Please save me, Senior Brother!”
“Brother Xie, what are you doing?”
Lin Fengmian reached out to help him up, but Xie Gui refused to get up.
“Stand up first, if anyone sees this, it will be troublesome.”
Xie Gui finally stood up, and Lin Fengmian led him to the table and poured him a cup of balck tea.
“Brother Xie, what did you mean just now?”
Xie Gui quickly explained, “Senior Brother, I’ve been here for half a year and have been observing for a long time. Only you have returned safely from Crimson Phoenix Peak several times.”
“Others go three or five times, and the most is eight times. Now I’ve been there three times. Please save me, Senior Brother.”
Lin Fengmian smiled and said, “Brother Xie, you’re thinking too much. All these years, it’s just because my talent is poor and I can’t pass the examination.”
Xie Gui shook his head, “Senior Brother, don’t lie to me. My brother Xie Xun entered the so-called inner sect and has had no news since.”
“I know him well, he wouldn’t treat me like this! He must have met with some misfortune, maybe he is already dead.”
He, like others, was lured into the Joyful Union cult with high hopes for cultivation.
During his two trips to Crimson Phoenix Peak, he felt like he was in heaven, and he thought that such a life was the ultimate.
It wasn’t until later, when his brother joined the inner sect and didn’t return, that he realized something was wrong and watched for a long time.
He solemnly said, “Senior Brother, you’ve managed to stand firm here, so you must be very capable. Please save me; I’m willing to be your servant.”
Lin Fengmian looked at Xie Gui and sighed inwardly. The man wasn’t stupid, but unfortunately, he had joined the Joyful Union Sect.
He couldn’t save himself, let alone others.
He shook his head and smiled, “Brother Xie, you’re thinking too much. Maybe your brother is just having fun in the inner sect and forgot for a while.”
Xie Gui looked at Lin Fengmian and said through gritted teeth, “Senior Brother, are you really going to watch me die?”
Lin Fengmian smiled and said, “I really don’t have the great abilities you imagine. I’m just talentless.”
Xie Gui stood up with a dark expression on his face and solemnly said, “If that’s the case, I apologize for disturbing you!”
As he watched Xie Gui leave with a black face, Lin Fengmian remained calm, with no significant emotional fluctuations.
He didn’t feel guilty; he and Xie Gui didn’t know each other.
If he could help, he would, but now he really couldn’t.
