Blood Sacrifice To Millions Of Zombies, I Will Be A Demon Cultivator In The Apocalypse

Chapter 23: Transmission Hall

His tone involuntarily became heavier, and the heavy oppressive feeling that had gathered on him became even stronger.

This comes from the suppression of ranks. Ever since he refined the Soul-Capturing Banner into his Law Weapon, that unique cold aura on him has become even more intense.

"No, no, no. I think Senior Brother is not very clear about the distribution of the sect's headquarters. I presume you are a newly joined senior brother, hence this speculation," Liang Qing quickly explained, and then added.

"The Internal Affairs Hall is in charge of the sect's internal affairs. Disciples must go there to handle their duties and appointments."

After listening, Zheng Yi's expression remained calm, silently watching him.

Before coming here, he was indeed not clear about these matters. Now it's a good opportunity to understand the specific situation.

"Senior Brother can go to the Reception Hall first and take a look. There, you will find detailed maps of the sect and introductions to the sect's information," Liang Qing said softly, looking at Zheng Yi's expression.

"Okay."

After a pause, Zheng Yi nodded this time, and the cold and indifferent expression on his face finally disappeared.

Liang Qing's anxious heart finally calmed down.

In the Assimilating Soul Sect, a demonic cultivation force like this, the hierarchy is strict at the Low Grade level.

In fact, whether it is in the orthodox Dao Sect or the demonic Dao Sect, the difference in status and rank within the sect is very significant. True disciples are high above, inner disciples are the backbone of the sect, and outer disciples are the lowest tier, apart from the sect's servants.

And within the demonic cultivation force, this strict hierarchical relationship is even more severe.

Inner disciples have the right to discipline outer disciples, and they can assign dangerous tasks to them.

Anyway, as long as they want to kill you, there are plenty of methods.

So most outer disciples either serve as lackeys or keep their distance, showing great respect and doing their own duties, trying not to cause trouble.

This is because in a demonic Dao Sect like the Assimilating Soul Sect, inner disciples are the true core and can inherit various cultivation methods of the sect.

Although outer disciples have a slightly higher status than servants, the sect doesn't care much about them.

Liang Qing didn't want to pay attention to Zheng Yi before, until Zheng Yi unintentionally revealed his inner disciple token, which immediately changed his attitude.

The speed of this change surprised Zheng Yi, who had been struggling at the bottom as an independent cultivator for many years.

But there was no other way. Demonic cultivators have always been cold and indifferent, and they will retaliate for even the slightest grievance.

If an outer disciple who is just a small part of the sect doesn't know how to observe and understand others' words and expressions, they won't know who they might offend one day, and they won't even know how they died.

And Zheng Yi, who looks young, is already at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Being able to become an inner disciple of the Assimilating Soul Sect, he probably has some background and a promising future.

If he can leave an impression, it might come in handy for Liang Qing, who is still struggling as an outer disciple, at some point.

So, Liang Qing boldly asked a question, and unexpectedly answered Zheng Yi's doubts.

"You're not bad. What's your name?"

"Senior Brother, my name is Liang Qing."

Zheng Yi asked another question that he was concerned about.

"What is the current situation of the battle between the sect and the Beast-Taming Sect over the spiritual stone veins?"

"Reporting to Senior Brother, I am lowly and ignorant, so I don't know many specific details. But I heard that this time, the higher-ups have become really angry, and the spiritual stone veins involved unexpectedly have Middle Grade spiritual stones. Both our sect and the Beast-Taming Sect are determined to obtain them."

"Most of our sect's fighting power has been dispatched, even the Sect Master and the Elders have gone. However, I heard that although our Assimilating Soul Sect still holds a certain advantage, it is not very realistic to expect to take down the Hundred Beast Sect. This kind of inter-sect battle at this level will take several years to have a rough outcome."

Liáng Qīng cautiously looked at Zheng Yi's expression and explained.

"It seems that this dispute over the spirit stone vein has a significant impact on the sect. It is unlikely to reach a conclusion in the short term."

"But for me, it's a good thing."

"Elder Gōngsūn has been transferred to the front line and is unlikely to return in the short term. Let them fight, let them fight."

"After all, every cultivator from the Demon Sect is fair game, none of them are innocent. It would be best if they all died there. Elder Gōngsūn might as well retire there..."

After sending Liáng Qīng away, Zheng Yi's expression remained the same, but he pondered inwardly.

For him, the sect war was good news, as it wouldn't affect him, a newly joined disciple of the inner sect.

After all, a dispute over a spirit stone vein, even if it once produced Middle Grade spirit stones, wouldn't cause two sects to go all out. At most, it would be a protracted war, a war of attrition. In the short term, it would be hard to tell who would win or lose.

This gave Zheng Yi an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

After all, he had followed Elder Gōngsūn's path from the beginning and became an inner sect disciple in a short period of time.

It was difficult for this kind of sect veteran not to notice such a problem.

Moreover, he knew exactly what cultivation technique Zheng Yi was practicing.

The cultivation of the "Black Evil Technique" required a large number of living souls or vengeful spirits. Where did Zheng Yi obtain them from?

Once Elder Gōngsūn became suspicious, he would be in danger, at the very least, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Don't be fooled by Elder Gōngsūn's easy-going nature in Blood Mist Abyss City, that was the result of bribing him with a large number of spirit stones.

Cultivators are not without greed, because the path of cultivation is a competition on the Great Dao's narrow bridge. Without sufficient cultivation resources, why cultivate? "One's success is built on the blood, sweat, and tears of the lower-level cultivators, and even on the bones of countless high-level cultivators."

And for cultivators who cultivate demonic techniques, this greed is even more blatant.

If Zheng Yi was really suspected of having ulterior motives, he would definitely resort to any means necessary.

"The safety risks must be resolved."

"There are too many people and too many prying eyes in the sect. Although there is sufficient spiritual veins and spiritual energy for me now, it is not a good place. It exposes too many problems."

"I must quickly find follow-up cultivation techniques, as well as the secret method for refining and upgrading the Soul-Capturing Banner, and then find a reason to leave here."

Zheng Yi had made up his mind, he couldn't stay here for long.

He was different from ordinary sect cultivators, he had many secrets hidden within him.

Some secrets could never see the light of day, and were not suitable for activities within the sect.

Within the sect, there were many experts, and it was not safe for him to cultivate there.

Having made up his mind, Zheng Yi no longer hesitated. He first went to the sect's main hall and found a complete map of the sect and introductions to various places.

However, according to the map, he first went to the administrative hall, handed over the white jade token, left a spiritual imprint, and also mentioned the name of the Blood Mist Abyss City's steward, Chén Jiǔ.

Chén Jiǔ was greedy, but he was still reliable in handling matters. He had promised to take care of the relationship in advance and did not break his word.

Zheng Yi smoothly handed over his identity as an inner sect disciple and received the sect disciple's robe and the access control to his residence.

Then, following the instructions on the sect map, he hurriedly went to the place he wanted to go the most.

The back mountain, the Transmission Hall.
