In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

When the Hall Master of Law Enforcement arrived in a flurry of activity at the Fengqing Sect's council hall, several elders were already standing there. To his surprise, the Fengqing Sect Master, Feng Qingyang, was standing next to a beautiful young woman.

Feng Qingyang was dressed in a simple long robe, his clothes moving without wind, his brows revealing a refined and detached air, his gaze deep and serene, as if he were indifferent to the world, yet he was also unassuming.

Seeing the sect leader, who usually had a calm demeanor, now smiling like a chrysanthemum, the Law Enforcement Hall Master felt reassured, thinking that it was probably not a major matter involving a crisis in the sect. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the girl was Meng Yao, the core disciple of Shen You, the head of the Scripture Pavilion.

"Sect Master, what is the purpose of ringing the Wind Bell and summoning so many elders?" A moment later, many elders had entered the hall, and the First Elder, Dongfang Yaocai, walked in slowly.

"Haha. This is fantastic news! Elder, you set the record for the youngest person to break through to the Profound Spirit Realm in the Northern Region back then, but today it has been broken by little Mengyao!" The sect leader didn't pay attention to the elder's tone, laughed loudly, and said excitedly.

"Oh? That's truly cause for celebration! Heaven blesses our Fengqing Sect, each generation is stronger than the last!" Upon hearing this, the First Elder ignored the astonished voices of the elders in the hall and also praised them with joy.

"That's true, especially now that those demon cubs are starting to stir again. Xiao Mengyao's breakthrough is a good omen. That's why we've invited so many elders here today. We're going to use the full strength of the sect to hold a celebration, which will be held a month from now."

"Elders, you must take this celebration seriously and demonstrate the prestige of our Fengqing Sect. Go back and make all necessary preparations. Send out invitations widely throughout the Northern Region, especially to those five families—don't forget them!"

"Of course, now let's ask Xiao Mengyao what she wants. Whether it's rare and precious materials, divine weapons, or martial arts techniques, as long as our sect has them, just tell me, and I'll give them to you!"

After giving his instructions to the elders, the Fengqing Sect Master turned to Mengyao beside him and made a kind promise.

"Thank you for your kind words, Sect Master. As cultivators, it is our duty to improve our cultivation and bring glory to our sect. We should not have any extra desires. However, there is something I would like to ask you to consider." Mengyao bowed and greeted the elders present with a humble attitude that left them with no room for criticism.

"It's alright! You've brought glory to the sect, so the sect naturally won't let you suffer any losses! Just tell me your thoughts!" The sect leader laughed again, waving his hand dismissively.

"In that case, Mengyao dares to ask the sect leader to pardon Fan Tong's status as a servant disciple and convert him into a formal outer disciple!" Mengyao gritted her teeth and spoke her mind.

"Oh? This matter was decided by the Grand Elder. I wonder what the Grand Elder thinks?" Upon hearing this, the Sect Master turned to look at the Grand Elder.

The First Elder stroked his beard, glanced at Mengyao casually, and spoke softly to the elders in the hall.

"Back then, Fan Debiao and his wife had their sect's most precious treasure stolen by the demons in Chilei Ancient City. The two promised to go to the Western Regions to find the treasure. Seeing that Fan Tong was still young, I brought him back to the sect and gave him the status of a servant disciple, so that he could grow up slowly in the sect."

"However, in recent years he has become increasingly eccentric and domineering, often bullying other disciples in the sect. Now he is even suspected of plotting to harm disciples. If we were to make him a formal outer disciple, I'm afraid it wouldn't be convincing to the sect."

"Suspected of murdering a disciple? Hall Master Gao, what happened? Tell me in detail!" After listening, the sect leader asked the Hall Master of Law Enforcement with some surprise.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the victim was Elder Mochou's disciple. The incident is as follows..." The Hall Master of Enforcement recounted the events and the statements made by all parties in the Hall of Enforcement.

"Sect Master, that's the situation! The evidence against Fan Tong for intentionally killing Bai Jie is still insufficient!" The Hall Master of Law Enforcement, seemingly oblivious to the Grand Elder's gaze, stated his judgment with a serious expression.

"Since the evidence is insufficient, then we should presume innocence. The Court of Law Enforcement must speak based on facts and evidence, and cannot easily convict someone based on someone else's statement."

"We cultivators, having embarked on the path of cultivation, must be aware of the bloodshed and peril along the way. No matter what, strong cultivation is the foundation for our actions!"

"The Enforcement Hall will continue to gather evidence, but Fan Tong should not be detained until strong evidence is obtained."

The sect leader's eyes sharpened, his gaze sweeping over the elders in the hall. Seeing their solemn expressions, he lowered his head to look at Mengyao, his tone still kind.

"Since Fan Tong is embroiled in these controversies, let's maintain his status as a servant disciple for now. We'll reward him accordingly once he has rendered further service to the sect. What do you think, Xiao Mengyao?"

"Thank you for your consideration, Sect Master. Everything is up to you!" Mengyao was genuinely grateful to the Sect Master since her goal had been achieved.

"Since you can't think of anything you want, then we'll wait until the celebration to bestow the rewards. Elders, that's all for today. Once you return, be sure to organize and prepare the celebration activities well, and show our might!"

After Sect Master Feng Qingyang finished speaking, his figure flickered and instantly disappeared from the council hall.

Seeing the scene when Feng Qingyang left, Elder Dongfang Yao frowned slightly, seemingly thinking of something.

The elders quickly left the council hall. Just as Shen Youtu, the head of the Scripture Pavilion, was about to leave with Mengyao, he saw Feng Qingyang, who had already left, suddenly appear in the hall.

"Here! Go back and seclude yourself for ten days, taking one pill every day! You little brat, you dare to shake your own cultivation foundation for your lover, you're such a fool!" Feng Qingyang tossed a jade bottle to Mengyao, then disappeared again after speaking.

Mengyao stood there stunned for a few breaths before she came to her senses and quickly shouted, "Thank you, Sect Master!"

"Hehe, I knew the sect leader would do this. Otherwise, if you dared to be so impulsive, I would beat you to death!" Shen Youtu, the head of the Scripture Pavilion, tapped Mengyao's forehead lightly with his finger.

"Master, don't be angry. I had no choice! If it weren't for this, Fan Tong would probably be dead this time!" Mengyao gripped the jade bottle tightly in her hand. As a proud daughter of heaven, she naturally knew the importance of the foundation of cultivation.

"Sigh! You're overthinking it! You young people don't understand the affairs of the older generation. Hurry back and go into seclusion. You need to solidify your foundation this time, because things are about to get lively in the Northern Region again!"

……

Inside the Hall of Law Enforcement, Zong Bujiu heard a whooshing sound and suddenly stood up. He saw the Hall Master and several deputy hall masters walking into the hall chatting and laughing, while Elder Mochou followed behind with a dark face and reluctance.

Upon seeing Elder Mochou return, Bai Chi excitedly stood up, grinned at Fan Tong, and made a throat-slitting gesture with his right hand across his neck.

"Bai Chi, regarding your claim that Fan Tong murdered your sister, as instructed by the sect leader, we will temporarily put this matter aside. We will determine Fan Tong's guilt once new evidence emerges!"

The head of the Enforcement Hall glanced at Elder Mochou and then explained the situation directly to Bai Chi, who was beaming with excitement.

Upon hearing the words of the Hall Master of Law Enforcement, the excited Bai Chi was as if someone had interrupted his good time. His face was full of disbelief and frustration, and he couldn't help but start to cry out, "Hall Master! I don't accept this! I don't accept this!"

"If you're not happy, just bear with it. If you have a solution, try to find one. If not, stop crying here! You all should leave now. The sect is having a big event, and a large number of sect missions are being released. Go do the missions and improve your cultivation!"

After the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall finished speaking, he glanced at Fan Tong again and made a gesture as if to see him off!

Fan Tong walked out of the Enforcement Hall in a daze, his head spinning. He didn't know why things had changed so quickly. In his confusion, he almost bumped into the people in front of him.
