In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

There were also three male bronze-armored warriors, and upon further consideration, the situation became even more perplexing.

"You two are just still recovering from a breath!"

Zhang Xiaoshan did not take credit for himself, but instead looked at the battlefield, where the outcome of this battle was already decided.

In particular, Princess Taiping's ability to harness the power of thunder, though aided by the opportune moment, was still incredibly awe-inspiring.

However, in Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes, that was all!

The Black Armor Demon God's Heavenly Fire Annihilation, Ghost Three's Vajra Indestructibility, and Ghost One's Maha Boundless are all comparable moves.

"We pay our respects to the Evil Emperor!"

really!

Seeing Demon Lord Zhu Yuyan and Ming King Shi Zhixuan submit at the same time, the surrounding people could no longer hold back.

This is a sign that the Demonic Sect is about to rise to prominence, and the Evil Emperor's identity is not simple; he has always been the strongest in the Demonic Sect.

In the battle just now, no one doubted the identity and strength of the Evil Emperor.

No wonder he could shatter Kong's silent meditation with a single palm strike, and even disregarded the Evil Emperor's Relic, casually bestowing it upon the Yin Queen and the Evil King to help them advance to Grandmaster level.

In an instant, everyone's fear of the Demonic Sect reached its peak.

Following the Zhang family, another terrifying and domineering demonic force has risen to power.

Chapter 615 Integrating the Quotas for the Demonic Sect's Relic Initiation

"Let's go!"

Ghost Street is located in Mangshan. Now that the outcome of the battle has been decided, Zhang Xiaoshan and his group will not linger.

As for Zhang Yuan?

Escorted by Zen Master Juexin, they then descended the mountain and left.

The battle just now broadened his horizons considerably; at least Shi Zhixuan and Empress Zhu Yuyan were both experienced masters.

Zhang Yuan had clearly seen the way the enemy had dealt with him in the previous exchange.

Although none of these things suited him, at least he understood how to deal with them in the future.

In particular, he understood a little about the scene of Princess Taiping receiving the thunder.

However, Princess Taiping possessed a powerful primordial spirit, capable of receiving the power of heaven and earth.

Zhang Yuan wouldn't dare to do that.

However, with a single palm strike from the heavens, he could unleash a vast divine power capable of suppressing everything.

Instead of following Zhang Xiaoshan, Faming stayed by Zen Master Juexin's side, subtly trying to find out the relationship between the Zhang family and the Evil Emperor.

However, what he received was a vague answer from Zen Master Juexin.

Although Juexin followed Zhang Yuan closely, he only knew Zhang Yuan's secrets.

Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't even told Zhang Yuan about such a secret matter, so how could he possibly let Zen Master Juexin know about it?

Moreover, the domineering nature of the "497" Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Even if Zhang Xiaoshan possessed extraordinary abilities, the cultivator of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique he had previously encountered was none other than Princess Taiping, the Queen Mother of the West.

As for Emperor Wu? He had already been thoroughly offended long ago.

All Zen Master Juexin knew was that the Queen Mother of the West was a peerless powerhouse.

Even Zen Master Juexin had never heard of anyone in the Zhang family who had cultivated the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique and advanced to the Grandmaster level, such an invincible powerhouse as the Evil Emperor.

Moreover, what if one wants to advance to the Grandmaster level?

Taking the Wedding Dress Divine Skill as an example, unless one has previously cultivated the Wedding Dress Divine Skill to 90% perfection, after dispersing the skill and starting over, one can break through and rebuild, and advance to perfection.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know what kind of opportunity he would need to reach the Grandmaster level.

Therefore, even though Zen Master Juexin knew that the Evil Emperor was related to the Zhang family, he had no clues.

Moreover, such an important matter cannot be leaked casually.

···

Back on Ghost Street, Fan Qinghui dropped her disguise.

Previously, she played the role of the Queen Mother of the West, firstly to conceal her identity as Princess Taiping, and secondly to intimidate Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan.

At this moment, she removed her disguise as the Queen Mother of the West, her expression becoming unusually solemn.

She is the head of Cihang Jingzhai, having abandoned Zhang Xiaoshan's 'slave' status, and is no different from a normal person in every way. Moreover, her hostility towards the Demonic Sect has not diminished.

Therefore, the current growth of the Demonic Sect is definitely not a good thing for her.

However, since the Evil Emperor is one of their own, Fan Qinghui is confident in dealing with the remaining Empress Zhu Yuyan, Shi Zhixuan, and Fan Qinghui.

Moreover, what Zhang Xiaoshan wanted was a scene of mutual coercion.

Zhang Xiaoshan will only allow Fan Qinghui to eliminate the other party if the Demonic Sect develops disloyalty.

"Son!"

A stunningly beautiful face, alluring and captivating with eyes sparkling with spring, had already approached.

The strength of Princess Taiping, the "Queen Mother of the West," today has greatly shocked Fan Qinghui. Even though she has been promoted to Grandmaster, she has only been promoted to Junior Master for a short time.

Therefore, their strength is not much different from Zhu Yuyan's.

To increase one's power in a short period of time, one must use the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit to nourish the Demon Seed, which is more than ten times the amount she cultivates.

Moreover, the purity of the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit was also the reason why Zhao Min was able to cripple Zen Master Liaokong with a single palm strike.

While Zhang Xiaoshan and Fan Qinghui were being affectionate, Princess Taiping was also at the Demonic Sect headquarters, looking down at the Demonic Sect experts below.

Although the members of the Demonic Sect did not watch the three sparring, the Demonic Sect had already received word of it, especially since it was such a major event as the Yin Empress and the Evil King's advancement to Grandmaster.

Three chairs, one as the most respected and two as his deputies!

The group of demonic sect experts looked on with fanaticism as they gazed at the Demonic Sect's Evil Emperor, who had been the subject of much discussion lately.

After all, of the ten strategies in the Heavenly Demon Scroll of the Demonic Sect, the one that cultivates demonic power in the heart of the Dao is the most important.

Throughout history, very few evil emperors have achieved success in cultivation. The four disciples of the previous evil emperor did not even have the qualifications to cultivate.

Unexpectedly, without warning, another powerful figure at the level of an evil emperor emerged besides the Martial Emperor.

Furthermore, both the Queen of the Underworld and the Evil King were simultaneously promoted to Grandmaster due to the Evil Emperor's relic.

This can be described as the pinnacle of the demonic sects.

After all, aside from the Northern Yuan Demon Sect and the Empress of Wu Tang, the Demon Sect currently has three Grandmasters.

With such strength, the Demonic Sect can now roam freely in the Central Plains, except for a few other forces to worry about.

"Greetings to the Evil Emperor! The Evil King! The Empress of Yin!"

This is the order as perceived by everyone.

The Evil Emperor was a powerful figure who had long since broken through to the Grandmaster level, and he cultivated the supreme technique of the Demonic Sect—the Great Art of Planting Demons in the Heart of the Dao.

The Evil King and the Dark Queen are top-tier powerhouses on par with the Demonic Sect.

But everyone felt that the Evil King was stronger. It's just that the Evil King had a bit of a mental breakdown before, but now that he's recovered, he's naturally stronger!

"You all stand up!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the Evil King and the Queen of the Underworld and nodded to themselves. They then quickly bowed and stood up.

At the same time, looking at the silent Evil King and Yin Queen, they immediately realized that the future master of the Demonic Sect would be the Evil Emperor, and they were all invigorated.

A unified demonic sect is definitely more powerful than a divided demonic sect.

"I think you should all understand from now on that the Holy Gate has been divided for hundreds of years, but today it is unified again."

From now on, the Evil King will be the Protector King of the Holy Sect, leading the protectors of the Holy Sect; the Empress of the Underworld will be the Holy Ruler of the Holy Sect, overseeing the Holy Sect's operations in the martial arts world of the Nine Provinces.

"The Evil Emperor is wise!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Although Evil King Shi Zhixuan's strategies are not weak, he has now achieved 'enlightenment and Buddhahood'.

Just from that 'sacred and peaceful' aura and the gentle, spring-like atmosphere, someone who didn't know better might think that the Demonic Sect had reformed and merged into Cihang Jingzhai.

They were also fully aware of the achievements of Empress Zhu Yuyan in leading the Yin Gui Sect over the years.

Previously, the Yin Gui Sect was the most powerful of the six sects and two factions of the Demonic Path.

Empress Zhu Yuyan possesses all the characteristics of a ruthless, vicious, cunning, and ruthless tyrant.

Moreover, now that he has been promoted to Grandmaster, his eerie and sinister aura is even stronger, clearly more sinister than before, which is more in line with the temperament of their demonic sect leader.

"Besides, there is a shortage of experts below the core of the Holy Gate."

Especially after the peerless masters, Evil King and Yin Queen, advanced to Grandmaster, a gap in the number of masters appeared in the Holy Sect.

The Evil Emperor's Relic still contains a considerable amount of essence, which I intend to use to enhance everyone's strength.

but···"

Princess Taiping looked at everyone, her eyes filled with solemnity, and said:

There's no such thing as a free lunch, not even for the Holy Gate.

Although the Holy Gate has two factions and six paths, and is full of experts, its people are not united and its situation is complex.

Therefore, Wanwan stayed behind. Similarly, the Ming King could recommend a disciple to receive the relic empowerment, and others who wanted to receive the relic empowerment had to demonstrate corresponding value.

Anlong's value lies in Ghost Street, where he controls the logistics of the Holy Gate and makes significant contributions to the Holy Gate.

However, if they want to receive the relic empowerment, they must demonstrate a willingness to submit to me and not betray the Holy Gate or me.

Therefore, in the future, I will grant you the privilege of initiation based on your contributions and sincerity to the Holy Church.

According to the essence within the Evil Emperor's relic, it can empower three people.

"We will certainly live up to the Evil Emperor's expectations!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes burned with fervor.

However, even if you understand that this is an opportunity, the key is how to demonstrate your value and express your loyalty.

Complex characters like You Niaojuan basically have no chance.

Princess Taiping waved her hand, and all the others except the demoness Wanwan withdrew, pondering how to obtain the opportunity to receive the relic empowerment from the Evil Emperor.

"Wanwan, you are the disciple with the highest potential among the new generation of the Holy Sect, and you have even cultivated the Heavenly Demon Technique to the eighteenth level."

If you continue at your current pace of cultivation, you can reach the peerless realm within ten years and become a pillar of the Holy Sect. However, I will still give you a chance to choose—

Should one choose to cultivate the Demon-Seedling Technique of the Dao Heart, or the Relic Initiation?

The Great Demon-Planting Technique of the Dao Heart?

A hint of surprise flashed across Wanwan's charming and bright face, and she quickly bowed:

"Wanwan chooses the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique!"

One is the supreme martial art of the Holy Sect, and the other is to instantly become an unparalleled master.

But Wanwan didn't want to be trapped in the peerless realm forever. Cultivating the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique was undoubtedly the only option for her to be reborn from the ashes.

"As expected of the leading figure of the new generation of the Holy Gate, your choice is very wise."

However, the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique is not easy to cultivate. I will explain it to you in detail later. Next, in version 2.0, which disciple will the Bright King choose for initiation?

"Hou Xibai, the amorous young master of Duoqing Manor!"

Although Shi Zhixuan's best choice was another apprentice, Yang Xuyan, Yang Xuyan himself was a sharp dagger that could potentially harm him.

Once the Evil Emperor's Relic is bestowed upon it and imbued with demonic power, it possesses the attribute of absolute backlash.

Even though Shi Zhixuan believed that Yang Xuyan was no match for him, he did not want to face off against his master one day.

"Okay, you can have the relic!"

Princess Taiping was not worried at all that the Evil King would covet the Evil Emperor's relic and take it away.

The essence within can at most create a quasi-demon lord. Not to mention whether he can advance to the Grandmaster level, even if he does, would Princess Taiping be afraid of such things?
