Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
Chapter 91: Senior, please spare me!

When Zhang Yao declared her revenge inside the hall, someone finally recognized her identity.

“You… You were Yin Pagoda Sect’s saintess!” Someone exclaimed.

Han Youchan’s head shook, and the scene from twenty years ago seemed to reappear in front of her eyes. She had also participated in the war to destroy Yin Pagoda Sect.

‘That pair of saint and saintess… They were merely two children back then, but unexpectedly, they’ve already become Prodigious experts!’

By this time, she already felt a sense of crisis. If Xue Haoran was merely an internal threat, then Zhang Yao was a genuine outside threat, the kind who would never give up until all of Azure Dragon Hall was dead!

The hatred of having her sect annihilated meant there was no room for negotiation.

‘Unless the old hall master returns, I’m afraid there’s no way to end this on a good note.’

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Xue Haoran took two steps forward and said with a smile, “Miss Zhang is a favored disciple of the Jin Dynasty’s national advisor. She will only kill the chief culprits today. To everyone who didn’t participate in destroying the Yin Pagoda Sect back then, you should consider this carefully.”

‘To think that a Prodigious Realm expert is only a disciple… Just how strong is Qi Lengxuan?’

The gloom in everyone’s hearts worsened. Some people became restless, and even the other two deputy hall masters also started to consider retreating.

After all, they weren’t involved in that event twenty years ago!

Lin Jun knew that the people’s hearts had already scattered, so she said after a small sigh, “I’ll stop them. If any of you want to leave, go now.”

As she spoke, she made a mysterious hand seal, and a glittering white light enveloped the whole hall.

People felt their emotions become inexplicably suppressed, making it difficult to maintain killing intent.

Only Zhang Yao smiled. “As expected of a secret technique from one of the five righteous sects back then… Fortunately, Master is already prepared for this.”

She took out a black bead from her clothes and threw it out gently. The bead just floated in the air, emitting wisps of black Qi.

As soon as Lin Jun’s white light came into contact with the black Qi, it immediately retreated, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

“This is… Five Elements Bead!” Lin Jun had a wide range of knowledge and recognized the origin of the bead at a glance. She suddenly understood everything.

‘No wonder Qi Lengxuan could still cultivate to Prodigious Realm, even in this era where demonic energy is scarce. It’s because he obtained the Five Elements Bead.’ Lin Jun’s expression sank slightly. The Five Elements Bead appeared, yet Yan Xiaoxiao wasn’t here…

The demonic Qi of the Five Elements Bead was in mutual opposition to her technique. It was impossible to say which one was superior.

But Qi Lengxuan was the one who stored that demonic Qi, while she was unable to advance beyond the peak of Innate Realm due to her technique. Naturally, she wasn’t a match for a Prodigious cultivator.

The demonic Qi drove the white light back little by little. Seeing that it was about to win completely, Zhang Yao had a smile on her face.

However, the demonic Qi suddenly paused, then rushed towards the door.

“This, this is…” Zhang Yao was stunned for a while. She couldn’t help looking in the direction of the demonic Qi and saw a young man slowly walking over with a black disk in his hand.

And those demonic Qi were absorbed by that black disc.

Zhang Yao suddenly remembered that her master often lamented that there was no future in the demonic path. He only had the demonic bead but not the corresponding demonic disk. Otherwise, his demonic skills would have reached major attainment long ago.

‘Could this be the long-lost demonic disk?!’

The events of that year resurfaced in her mind. At that time, she and her brother were pursued by Azure Dragon Hall, and then saved by a master who came for the demonic disk.

Later, she joined the Limitless Demon Sect but soon experienced the sect’s collapse and fled like a street rat. This continued all the way until the Jin Dynasty rose in power and Qi Lengxuan accepted her as a disciple.

Later, she also investigated the disk’s whereabouts. It seemed that the demonic disk was not taken away by that monk. Instead, it fell into the hands of the person behind Azure Dragon Hall.

‘Wait, could it be…’ Zhang Yao’s heart trembled, and a terrible possibility suddenly emerged.

Before she could speak, the Five Elements Bead shook slightly. The demonic Qi quickly gathered into a human shape.

This person was dressed in a gray robe and had a middle-aged appearance. His temperament seemed elegant. At first glance, he looked like a middle-aged scholar.

But nobody who recognized him would dare to judge him by his appearance, because he was precisely Qi Lengxuan, the Jin Dynasty’s great power.

“Hahahaha! Truly, it was effortless to obtain! Unexpectedly, the rumors were true—the demonic disk really is in Azure Dragon Hall!” As soon as Qi Lengxuan appeared and saw the demonic disk, he immediately laughed.

Everyone in Azure Dragon Hall felt their hearts sink even further. ‘If it was just one Zhang Yao, Miss Lin could still handle it, but even Qi Lengxuan appeared now. Is there still a way for us to survive?’

But they didn’t notice that Lin Jun had been staring at the young man ever since he appeared, looking like she’d seen a ghost.

“So this demonic disk is part of a set! No wonder I couldn’t open it back then.” Gu Nan played with the demonic disk in his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity.

In fact, he snatched the demonic disk in the beginning because he wanted to release the three demonic spirits and see if killing them would give any Evil Value. However, he tragically found that he had no supply of demonic Qi and couldn’t even open the demonic disk.

He couldn’t even copy Jing Nan and purify the disk. Thus, he could only put it on hold for the time being. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.

‘No, actually, it’s still kind of useless…’ Immortal Demon World’s mission was already finished, so killing the demonic spirits wouldn’t give any Evil Value. At most, it might only satisfy Gu Nan’s collector hobby as a player.

Qi Lengxuan looked at Gun Nan with a smile and began to urge the Five Elements Bead. He said leisurely, “Come!”

However, the expected scene didn’t appear. The demonic disk was still firmly held in Gu Nan’s hand and remained motionless.

In this odd silence, Qi Lengxuan felt a few strange gazes directed at him. His mouth twitched slightly, and he made a hand seal with both hands, pushing them forward. “Go!”

The demonic Qi forming Qi Lengxuan’s figure suddenly turned into a huge illusory lion and pounced towards Gu Nan.

“Miss Lin…” A deputy hall master looked anxiously at Lin Jun.

‘It’s one thing for this young man to be killed, but he clearly has a demonic path treasure in his hand. If it falls into Qi Lengxuan’s hands…’

“No hurry.” Lin Jun shook her head firmly, her gaze still fixed on that person. ‘Although they have different appearances, their aura and temperament are too similar, not to mention he has the demonic disk!’

Qi Lengxuan transformed into a demonic lion and pounced. He was already considering his plans after obtaining the demonic disk—whether he should destroy Azure Dragon Hall first or return and enter closed-door cultivation first.

However, Zhang Yao’s shout brought his thoughts back to reality.

“Master, be careful! He is the person behind Azure Dragon Hall!”

The one behind Azure Dragon Hall? Qi Lengxuan was stunned. He was also someone who had experienced the war between the righteous and demonic paths, and a memory from twenty years ago gradually resurfaced.

‘Back then… Azure Dragon Hall started off as an assassin organization… But the reason it truly became famous was because… The one behind Azure Dragon Hall fought with the previous Demon Lord, and as a result…’

‘The Demon Lord fled in defeat!’

Qi Lengxuan’s heart seemed to be caught by some kind of fear, and a chill rose from his tail vertebrae and rushed straight to the top of his head.

But it was already too late for the demonic lion to stop.

He only saw the young man raise his hand leisurely, and an overwhelming darkness pressed down. Qi Lengxuan couldn’t take a single step, and his demonic Qi was also dissipating rapidly.

With the last of his strength, he finally managed to shout a sentence before his consciousness dissipated completely, “Senior, please spare me!”
