Demon Sect Cultivation: I Can Disable Debuffs

Chapter 36

The rest of the journey was smooth and they returned to the forest outside the Blood God Sect.

Looking at the flawless forest, Zhang Chen could not help but think of the Spiritual Eye Technique he had obtained in the market.

I wonder if I can see through the Blood God Sect’s illusion array after mastering the Spiritual Eye Technique.

He took out his identity token and injected spiritual Qi into it. It seemed to be attracted by some force and floated in a direction.

Under the guidance of the identity token, Zhang Chen passed through the illusion array and returned to the sect’s archway.

Zhang Chen’s appearance caught the attention of the guarding disciples.

“You’re back so soon from your first hunting mission in the sect?” It hadn’t been even a month, and the guarding disciples still remembered Zhang Chen.

“I completed the task, so I came back.” Zhang Chen felt conflicted. If it weren’t for the curse, he wouldn’t want to come back.

Since he had to come back sooner or later, it was better to come back and practice peacefully. At least the Blood God Sect was safer than outside.

“Put your hand on the memorial arch and the blood curse in your body will be removed,” the guard reminded.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Zhang Chen bowed and thanked him before walking towards the archway.

The archway was crystal clear and blood-red light flowed inside, indicating that it was a precious treasure.

Zhang Chen did not think much about it as it was too far out of reach for him.

Placing his hand on the archway, he felt something being drawn out of his body. It must be the blood curse.

“Alright, don’t stand here and get in the way. You can leave now.” The guard disciple urged.

“Yes.” Zhang Chen cupped his hands and left quickly.

He did not return to his cave abode. Instead, he went to the beast garden to submit his task.

Smelling the scent of blood in the air, Zhang Chen felt comfortable, but he immediately showed a bitter smile. “I’m really becoming more and more like a member of the demonic sect.”

From the fear and rejection when he first transmigrated, to now drinking blood like water and killing without blinking, he had adapted to the life of the demonic sect.

“Senior Brother Zhang, what brings you here?” Upon seeing Zhang Chen, Wang Zhengang, who was in charge of the registration of the beast garden, asked warmly.

Zhang Chen knew that a lot of information about him came from Wang Zhengang, but this was very normal, so he did not blame him.

“I’m here to submit a sect mission.” Zhang Chen threw the beast breeding bag and four unconscious demon beasts appeared in front of him.

Wang Zhengang widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Senior Brother Zhang caught four demon beasts on your first hunt?”

“I will hand one over to the sect for the mission, and the other three will be kept in the sect’s enclosure,” Zhang Chen instructed.

“Alright, Senior Brother Zhang. I’ll arrange that for you now.” Wang Zhengang quickly put the four demon beasts into the beast bag.

“By the way, transfer all the demon beasts under Brother Sun Jian’s name to my name.” Zhang Chen took out Sun Jian’s identity token.

With Sun Jian’s identity token, Wang Zhengang did not say anything. After confirming, he said, “Senior Brother Sun has three demon beasts under his name. I’ve already transferred them to Senior Brother Zhang’s name.”

Zhang Chen did not expect it to really work. When he killed Sun Jian and looted his corpse, he obtained his identity token.

Thinking that Sun Jian was a veteran inner sect disciple and there should be demon beasts in the beast garden, he had the idea of transferring the demon beasts.

Usually, when inner sect disciples died while on a mission, the demon beasts kept in the beast garden would either be confiscated by the sect or be secretly taken by the disciples in the beast garden.

With his own three demon beasts, the one Li Mumin gave him, and the three he just transferred, he already had seven demon beasts and could provide a lot of demon blood every day.

Although he had picked up three demon beasts for free, he would also bear the suspicion of being the killer when the news of Sun Jian’s death spread.

However, Zhang Chen did not care. As long as there was no evidence, the sect would not interfere in such matters.

Having a bit of a notorious reputation in the demon sect could avoid many troubles. Please visit 𝒇𝘳𝗲𝚎w𝑒𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝒆l. 𝒄𝒐𝚖

As for Zhou Wenting, who was behind Sun Jian, he was already on Zhang Chen’s hit list.

“Junior Brother Wang, do you know Senior Brother Zhou Wenting?” Zhang Chen asked.

“I know. Senior Brother Zhou Wenting is one of the most promising inner sect disciples to reach the Foundation Establishment realm. He was once the spokesperson of a direct disciple.” Wang Zhengang did not hide anything.

He was also related to a direct disciple?

Zhang Chen frowned. He wasn’t afraid of inner sect disciples, but direct disciples were a bit troublesome.

“Does Zhou Wenting have a grudge against Senior Brother Li?” Zhang Chen continued to ask.

Wang Zhengang thought for a moment. “I have heard before that when Senior Brother Li just became an inner sect disciple, he went hunting demon beasts with Zhou Wenting and a few other senior brothers, but they had some conflicts and then went their separate ways.”

So that was how it was.

Zhang Chen understood. Li Mumin had succeeded in reaching the Foundation Establishment realm. Zhou Wenting, who had a grudge against him in the past, was afraid of retaliation, so he investigated the reason why Li Mumin had reached Foundation Establishment so quickly.

As long as the direct disciple behind Zhou Wenting did not participate, everything would be simple. He could just find an opportunity to kill Zhou Wenting.

Zhang Chen also noticed that Wang Zhengang said that a few senior brothers were together. Since there was a conflict, did the others participate?

If they all had grudges, did the others also investigate him?

Faced with the pressure of retaliation from direct disciples, this situation would surely lead them to band together.

“Besides Zhou Wenting, who else went hunting with Senior Li initially?”

“There were also Senior Xu Yixian and Senior Jiang Xianghong. They are among the few disciples most likely to reach Foundation Establishment.”

Xu Yixian, Jiang Xianghong?

Zhang Chen memorized their names. “How’s their relationship with Senior Brother Li?”

“Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Brother Xu, and Senior Brother Jiang used to be the spokespersons for the same direct disciple.”

Hearing this, Zhang Chen knew what was going on.

“What about the relationship between Zhou Wenting and the direct disciple?”

“I don’t know about this junior brother.”

“Thank you, Junior Brother Wang. If anyone asks about me, please inform me, and I will reward you generously.” Zhang Chen thanked Wang with a bow and did not request that he keep anything secret.

There were no walls in the world that did not leak wind. Wang Zhengang was not the only person in the beast garden. There was no way to hide secrets.

“Senior Li instructed me to ensure that Junior Brother will accomplish it.” Wang Zhengang assured, patting his chest.

In his opinion, as Li Mumin’s man, it was normal for Zhang Chen to ask about these things.

Perhaps it was to show off, or it could have been Li Mumin’s command to seek revenge from the past.

“Then I won’t disturb Junior Brother Wang anymore.” Zhang Chen cupped his hands and left.

“Senior Brother Zhang, take care.” Wang Zhengang watched Zhang Chen walk away enviously.

After leaving the beast garden, Zhang Chen did not return to his cave abode. Instead, he prepared to visit Li Mumin.

After all, on the surface, he still needed Li Mumin, a direct disciple, to provide shelter and the blood of demons.

“Is Senior Brother Li here? Junior Brother Zhang Chen has come to visit.” Zhang Chen called out from outside the cave.

“Come in.” Li Mumin’s voice came from the cave abode.

Entering the cave dwelling, Zhang Chen bowed and said, “Zhang Chen greets Senior Brother.”

Li Mumin was expressionless. It was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry. “Have you completed the sect mission?”

“It’s done. I just submitted the mission from the beast garden.”

“Yes, is there anything else?”

“It’s like this. In the next year, I plan to practice a spell that requires a large amount of demon blood, so I want to use my blood essence to exchange for it with Senior Brother.” This was Zhang Chen’s excuse to continue exchanging for blood essence.

“The two spells you used before are too dangerous. How much demon blood do you need to exchange for a few spells?” Li Mumin did not suspect anything.
