Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 303: The Position of the Sect Master



Translator: Cinder Translations

Zhou Siyi looked at the two people inside the barrier, talking animatedly, and a wave of sorrow rose in her heart.

Just now, their conversation had mentioned her mother.

It made her unable to stop her thoughts from wandering.

Perhaps, if her mother had taken her away back then, she would be like other girls, innocent and carefree.

Instead, she now lived a hellish life while having to pretend to be happy and naive every day.

Zhou Siyi thought to herself.

Unconsciously, her mind began to imagine what her mother looked like.

About a cup of tea later, Teng Jingshan took his leave and left.

As soon as Teng Jingshan departed, Zhou Xuelin's expression became cold again.

He flipped his palm, and a black box, about the size of a palm, appeared in his hand.

"This is the Blood Plunder Feather. When activated with spiritual power, it can launch thirteen razor-sharp blades. Each blade is coated with a potent poison; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator will die upon contact."

"You will take the Blood Plunder Feather to Wu Sheng's cave and eliminate him, along with anyone else in his cave."

"Since you have a close relationship with him, he won't be on guard against you, so it should be easy to succeed."

Zhou Siyi's face turned pale with terror upon hearing this.

"With Wu Sheng's current importance to the sect, if I enter his cave and kill him, I will definitely be exposed. The sect won't let me off."

Zhou Xuelin said, "Once you kill him, escape immediately. I'll find a way to hold off the pursuers."

Zhou Siyi bent her legs and knelt on the ground, pleading, "Father, I don't want to die. Please don't make me kill Wu Sheng. Once he's dead, the First Supreme will definitely be furious. How can I possibly escape the pursuit of a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Zhou Xuelin squatted down, staring directly into his daughter's eyes.

"As long as you kill him, I will lift the restrictions I placed on your soul since childhood, and from then on, you will gain the freedom you have always dreamed of."

A glimmer of hope lit up Zhou Siyi's eyes, but it was quickly overshadowed by a deep fear.

"Father, please let me go. I really don't want to die."

Zhou Siyi's eyes turned red, and tears fell like raindrops.

Zhou Xuelin's gaze turned fierce as he tightly grasped his daughter's smooth chin.

"You will go, whether you want to or not. Just now, Teng Jingshan came to convey a message that the First Supreme has already made a promise. The peak that first captures the human- snake corpse and refines it to the level of complete spiritual energy will have the next sect master chosen from there."

"Teng Jingshan doesn't have much time left; he cannot become the sect master. As long as Spirit Beast Peak can be the first to achieve complete spiritual energy, the next sect master will be me."

"Now, the only obstacle is Wu Sheng. Once he's dead, it will be difficult for the others on his peak to achieve the fusion of spiritual energy in a short time. Spirit Beast Peak has many people and resources; we will definitely be able to fulfill the First Supreme's requirements before they can."

The term "complete spiritual energy" refers to the energy filling the entire physical body.

Zhou Siyi cried and shook her head. "Father, we can think of a more hidden way to kill Wu Sheng."

Zhou Xuelin replied coldly, "Wu Sheng is too cautious; he rarely even leaves the sect. The only convenient place to act is in his cave. Since you have a close relationship with him, you are the easiest to enter his cave."

"But..."

Zhou Siyi wanted to say something else, but Zhou Xuelin interrupted her.

"If you keep resisting, I will activate the Soul Lock curse in your soul, making you wish for death."

The words "Soul Lock curse" seemed to awaken Zhou Siyi's deep-seated fear, causing her expression to turn pale with terror.

"I... I will go... but you must keep your promise. Once Wu Sheng is dead, you must lift the Soul Lock curse."

Seeing that Zhou Siyi finally agreed to assassinate Wu Sheng, Zhou Xuelin smiled slightly.

"As long as Wu Sheng dies, the Soul Lock curse will naturally dissipate."

Zhou Siyi stood up and looked at her father.

"I hope you keep your word."

After speaking, she glanced around the cave.

This was the place where she had grown up.

But she had no attachment to this place at all.

This cave had brought her no happiness, only endless pain.

This should be the last time she came here in her life.

No matter the outcome, whether life or death, she would never step foot in this cave again.

Zhou Siyi left the cave without looking back.

Watching his daughter's retreating figure, Zhou Xuelin reminded her, "First, return to your own cave, calm your mind, and devise a thorough plan. Do not act impulsively."

Once Zhou Siyi's figure disappeared into the cave, Zhou Xuelin's expression turned extremely

cold.

"The Soul Lock curse will definitely dissipate, and along with it will go your soul."

"I've raised you for over twenty years, and in the end, you're just like that bitch of a mother,

always wanting to leave me. Why does everyone have to betray me?"

Zhou Xuelin raged like a madman.

His curses echoed endlessly within the vast cave.

Two days later.

Song Wen was in his cave, refining the human-snake corpse.

Suddenly, Zhou Siyi's voice rang out from outside the cave.

"Junior Brother Wu, I have something to discuss with you. Could you open the cave for a

moment?"

Halfway through refining the corpse, Song Wen didn't want to be disturbed.

So, he took out a communication jade slip.

[Senior Sister Zhou, I am in the middle of refining a corpse and can't go out. If you have urgent

matters, please send a message through the jade slip.]

Soon, he received a reply from Zhou Siyi.

[Junior Brother Wu, I have no urgent matters. You can continue refining the corpse at ease.]

Song Wen put away the communication jade slip and continued with his work.

Half a day later, once he had finished refining the corpse, Song Wen placed the human-snake

into the serpent pit.

Through the Sacred Gu he had monitoring the cave, Song Wen learned that Zhou Siyi hadn't

left but had been waiting outside the cave.

Keeping Zhou Siyi waiting outside wasn't a good idea, so Song Wen had no choice but to open

the cave's restrictions and step outside.

"Senior Sister Zhou, you've been waiting here?"

Song Wen feigned ignorance, acting very surprised.

"Junior Brother Wu, you finally came out," Zhou Siyi said with a joyful expression.

"What important matter do you have for me?" Song Wen asked.

"It's nothing too important; my corpse-refining skills haven't improved much, so I thought In/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

could observe you while you refine corpses. I wonder if Junior Brother Wu would agree?"

Song Wen, without suspicion, readily agreed.

"If Senior Sister Zhou wants to observe the corpse refining, that's no problem. Just so happens

that I have a human-snake that needs to undergo the third refinement. I'll bring the human-

snake to the human-snake cave, and with Zhang Bing and Li Shi present, I can demonstrate the refining process for you."

Zhang Bing and Li Shi were the elder stewards of the human-snake cave, and their corpse-

refining skills were quite rudimentary.

They had mentioned to Song Wen several times that they wanted to observe his corpse-

refining process.

Zhou Siyi was momentarily taken aback.

Going to the human-snake cave to refine corpses! And with two other elders present!

This was not what she wanted.

What she wanted was a chance to be alone with Song Wen.

Moreover, it was supposed to be in Song Wen's cave.
