Chapter 1478: Darkdevil Sect

Xiang Shaoyun did not expect something like this to happen. Huang Tian was right—he was the culprit for the Imperial Nether Clan's departure. He calmly replied, "Lord, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not even a Rebirth Realm cultivator. How can I help the Imperial Nether Clan retreat? You look too highly upon me."

"Kid, you're only a third-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator, yet you already have a 30-percent completion pseudo-god body. You also possess the Imperial Nether Clan abilities. Your entire body is filled with secrets. Someone like you can definitely help the Imperial Nether Clan depart," questioned Huang Tian, every single word of his slamming into Xiang Shaoyun's heart like a hammer.

A regular Saint's willpower would probably collapse under such questioning, but Xiang Shaoyun was someone who had lived three lives and reached the Rebirth Realm in his previous life. His willpower was incredibly firm, allowing him to reply calmly, "If that's what you believe, there's nothing I can say. I'm not your match anyway. Do what you want with me."

"Hmph. You're quite an unyielding one. Fine, tell me. Why are you here? Don't tell me it's a coincidence," said Huang Tian coldly.

"No, not really. I'm here to visit my woman at the Darkdevil Sect," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Is that so?" Huang Tian did not believe a word. He looked at Mo Yue and shouted, "Mo Yue, come over here."

Mo Yue flew over.

"Yes, lord guardian?" asked Mo Yue respectfully.

"This kid claims to be here to visit his woman at your Darkdevil Sect. Do you know him?" asked Huang Tian as he pointed at Xiang Shaoyun.

Mo Yue looked at Xiang Shaoyun doubtfully as he thought, This young man is quite a genius. He actually has a pseudo-god body. He then asked, "Young man, who are you? I'm the Darkdevil Sect's previous sect master, Mo Yue."

Xiang Shaoyun bowed and said, "Greetings, lord. I'm Xiang Shaoyun, Devil Concubine's significant other. I'm here to pay her a visit."

"You're the devil among humans, Xiang Shaoyun?" said Mo Yue in astonishment. Evidently, he had heard of Xiang Shaoyun before.

One ought to admit that at this point, Xiang Shaoyun's name was already well-known among the various major organizations.

"Yes," replied Xiang Shaoyun in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

"Haha, excellent. So you're the one who caused my great-granddaughter many sleepless nights. Now that I'm looking at you, my granddaughter has made a decent choice. You're not bad at all," said Mo Yue with a gratified smile.

"So this kid is really here for some girl from your family?" asked Huang Tian doubtfully.

"You might not know this, lord guardian, but my granddaughter is the owner of a Ying Yang Physique. She is deeply infatuated with this kid. She wouldn't have dared to reject your junior otherwise," said Mo Yue.

"I see. Looks like I have misunderstood you," said Huang Tian. "Since the Imperial Nether Province has vanished, you no longer need to keep watch over this place. It's better for all of you to head over to the Dusk Dynasty and help against the Diabolic Dragon Clan's invasion."

He then vanished into thin air. He was so fast that nobody could see him leave.

"Kid, since you're here to visit Devil Concubine, come with me," said Mo Yue.

Xiang Shaoyun had not expected Mo Yue to be so agreeable. He thus braced himself and followed Mo Yue. As for He Chenyu and her people, they did not go with Mo Yue. Instead, they left in a different direction. Only the other two Gods followed Mo Yue back to the Darkdevil Sect.

The Darkdevil Sect sounded like an evil organization, but in truth, they were merely cultivators who specialized in a certain dark elemental devil technique and focused on dark energy, hence the origin of their name. Instead of being an evil organization, the Darkdevil Sect was, in fact, a superpower that had contributed greatly to the dominion.

The Darkdevil Sect was located in an ancient mountain range where a large number of spiritual plants and devilish life forms existed. The mountain range was also rich with natural treasures and was where the Darkdevil Sect disciples trained and sought after fortuitous encounters. Thanks to this mountain range, the Darkdevil Sect had been able to continuously grow.

From afar, numerous ancient buildings could be seen sprawled all over the mountain range. Thick dark energy covered the sect, making the sect look like a sinister organization. At the very center of the sect was a towering ancient tree. Its branches and leaves formed a dome above the sect and gave off a mysterious and primal sensation.

"Is this the celestial darkdevil tree?" exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun when he saw it.

"You're quite a knowledgeable one, kid. Yes, that's the celestial darkdevil tree," said Mo Yue proudly.

The celestial darkdevil tree could absorb ambient dark energy and transform it into dark energy of even higher purity. Thanks to the tree, the Darkdevil Sect was able to nurture generation after generation of talented disciples. The tree was also the main reason why the Darkdevil Sect had selected this place as their headquarters. As a god-grade tree, the celestial darkdevil tree was also the Darkdevil Sect's protector. No outsider could enter without its permission.

"Celestial tree, please open the entrance," said Mo Yue.

The celestial darkdevil tree had long developed its own wisdom and could understand human words. At Mo Yue's request, one of its branches withdrew, revealing the entrance to the sect.

Before the entrance stood a stele with the words "Darkdevil Sect" carved on it. Beyond the entrance were 999 flights of steps leading into the sect. Xiang Shaoyun could feel the imprint of the sect's incorporeal power in the steps. These steps were most likely one of the trials the Darkdevil Sect had prepared to test their disciples.

Mo Yue brought Xiang Shaoyun straight to the sect's main hall. Along the way, nobody discovered them. Only when they arrived before the main hall were they discovered.

"Greetings, old sect master," greeted a God Realm expert.

"Um. Go, invite Mo Xuwu over here," said Mo Yue.

The God Realm expert immediately left to carry out the order. Mo Xuwu was none other than the Darkdevil Sect's current sect master. As one of the most talented sect masters the Darkdevil Sect had ever seen, he had almost caught up to the previous sect master in terms of strength.

As for his daughter, Devil Concubine, she possessed the Yin Yang Physique, one of the strongest physiques in existence. She had even started comprehending the great dao of time. It was only a matter of time before she surpassed her father.

After bringing Xiang Shaoyun and Purple Lightning Marquis into the main hall, Mo Yue had someone serve them spiritual fruits and spring water. He was so amiable that it almost seemed as if he already viewed Xiang Shaoyun as the sect's son-in-law.
