Who Told Him To Cultivate Immortality!

Chapter 53: The Demonic Sect's Recruitment

In the darkness, more than a dozen pairs of eyes lit up with a strange light, like poisonous snakes hiding in a cave. They stared at the Branch Leader, waiting for him to speak.

At this time, the Branch Leader, who was sitting lazily, spoke. His voice was hoarse, like he hadn't spoken for decades. Every word he said was full of weight.

"Why didn't you light the lamps?"

A deacon of the Demonic Sect replied respectfully, "Branch Leader, did you forget? Last time, you said that you attended a meeting of the higher-ups and the atmosphere there. You also said that our Yanjiang Branch didn't have the atmosphere of the Demonic Sect."

"I thought about it. Our Yanjiang Branch has the lowest standard among all the branches. Perhaps this is the reason."

"I thought that in the stories, the Demonic Sect likes to plot and scheme in dark places, so I deliberately didn't let the servants light the lamps."

"You don't say. Not lighting the lamps really gives off the atmosphere of doing bad things."

Obviously, this deacon had a clear understanding of his actions and knew that the Demonic Sect was not a place to do good things.

The Branch Leader was silent for a long time, wondering if this deacon was implying that he wanted to quit the Demonic Sect.

Was he implying that the Yanjiang Branch hadn't had a salary increase for a long time?

Or was he implying that they should buy insurance for the Demonic Sect members?

It shouldn't be about quitting.

The other party had always been diligent in doing bad things, and he didn't distinguish between friend and foe. He did bad things outside, and in the Demonic Sect, he even ruined his own people's business. He deserved to be called a bad person.

He also didn't want a salary increase.

The Demonic Sect's salary was linked to the local finance. It was three times that of the local officials, which was already very high. Yanjiang County was a small and remote county, so the Yanjiang Branch's salary couldn't be the same as the headquarters'.

They also wouldn't ask for insurance.

Most of the Demonic Sect members didn't have heirs. If they bought insurance, who would they pay?

Besides, the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce wouldn't let the Demonic Sect buy insurance. If they sold insurance to the Demonic Sect, the Demonic Sect was confident that the Chamber of Commerce would lose everything.

"Light the lamps first."

"Yes."

The deacon blew on the lamp and lit the wick. Immediately, the whole hall lit up.

The branch master spoke again, "Everyone has more or less heard of the rumors about Little Qin. Don't spread it anymore, lest others see it as a joke."

"Little Qin's character is obvious to all. He has committed all kinds of crimes. Once he is caught by the authorities, beheading is a light punishment. This is enough to prove that Little Qin's character is in line with the teachings of the Devil Cult."

"As for the saying that Little Qin is on the righteous path, that's even more nonsense. Those who can join the Demonic Sect have passed the Sect Leader's test."

"Sect Master's evaluation of him is that 'devilish to the bone'. Sect Master's evaluation is definitely not wrong."

Qin Yuanhao bowed. "Branch Leader is wise."

Qin Yuanhao felt slightly better. He made up his mind that when he returned, he would definitely kill the guy who spread the rumors!

The branch leader didn't mention Qin Yuanhao's matter again. The only reason he said so much was because he had given him the chair.

"Today, I've gathered everyone here because of a mission from the headquarters."

The Branch Leader paused for a moment and then said, "The headquarters wants to recruit new disciples of the Devil Cult."

Qin Yuanhao and the others were stunned. They hadn't expected this. The Devil Cult hadn't recruited on a large scale for thirty years. In the last thirty years, people had joined the Devil Cult through personal introductions.

For example, Qin Yuanhao wanted to recruit the Tiger Demon. Unfortunately, the Tiger Demon stubbornly guarded Mount Song and was unwilling to join the Devil Cult.

"Everyone should know about the Great World News. In the last hundred years, geniuses have risen. Famous experts can also be defeated by unknown brats. Countless previously undiscovered ruins have reappeared. This is a great era where opportunities and challenges exist together."

"The five major immortal sects, supreme sects, and first-rank sects all have geniuses eager to join. Dual Spirit Roots, which were rare in the past, can be found everywhere now. If these geniuses really grow up, there will be no need to fight in this world."

"If you want to fight, now is the only time!"

"If you seize the opportunity, you will be able to transform into a dragon, soar in the nine heavens, and become an immortal!"

"But the opportunity is not so easy to obtain. The damned Great Xia Dynasty and the five major immortal sects have increased their attacks on us. Many of our comrades have died because of this."

"If we want to fight for a place in this world, we must expand our Demon Sect's members. The four major Demon Sects have already reached an agreement on this."

"What you need to do is to spread the news of the Demon Sect's recruitment through your own channels. Try to gather all the Demon Sect cultivators in Yanjiang County and the nearby counties, or those who are interested in joining our Demon Sect."

Someone said worriedly, "Won't such a large-scale recruitment give the Righteous Faction an opportunity to sneak into our Demon Sect?"

He was not the only one. Many of the people present had the same question.

The Demon Sect had always been careful to survive. If a few more Righteous Faction spies appeared, the Demon Sect would be in a precarious situation.

The Branch Leader shook his head. "This recruitment is organized by the Sect Leader with his supreme power. The test set by him is impossible for the Righteous Faction people to pass."

The doubts disappeared and were replaced by endless fanaticism.

To the Demon Sect members, the Sect Leader was an omnipotent existence. He was the sky of the Demon Sect and could definitely lead their Immortal Sect to glory!

…

After the meeting, Qin Yuanhao immediately used his connections to find out who was trying to frame him.

Through various channels, he finally locked onto the source of the problem at a small tavern.

"That customer is eight feet tall and wide. His face is full of pockmarks. He is a strong man and looks like he can eat three children." The tavern owner gestured. He had a deep impression of Lu Yang.

According to the description, Qin Yuanhao quickly drew a portrait of Lu Yang that was far from the real one.

Back then, Lu Yang and the other two had disguised themselves before entering the tavern to spread the rumors.

Qin Yuanhao's expression was cold. How dare he spread rumors with such a striking appearance? Did he think that he was easy to bully?

It was already late at night, and the Great Xia Dynasty didn't have a curfew. Qin Yuanhao brought his subordinates to eat barbecue on the streets. There were pork skewers, beef skewers, lamb legs, chicken feet, chicken drumsticks, pork skin, pork tendons, beef tendons, river prawns, tender roasted kidney, roasted chives, roasted potatoes, roasted eggplant, roasted tofu …

The barbecued meat was tender and full of seasonings. The flavor was boundless. Smeared with a dark, oily secret sauce, the aroma of the barbecued meat assailed the nostrils and sizzled with oil.

Long bamboo skewers of pork were roasted over a large fire basin. The fatty meat was sticky but not greasy, and the lean meat was rich in flavor.

The lamb leg was roasted in the pit, braised and roasted together. The heat was evenly distributed, the tenderness was moderate, and the taste was delicious.

The chicken feet were first braised and then roasted. They had tendons, skin, and crispy bones. They had a rich texture and were very enjoyable to chew on.

The chicken feet were roasted raw, and the heat was controlled precisely. The water and oil could not be lost excessively, so that the skin, meat, tendons, and bones could achieve a balance of taste and texture.

The potatoes were stewed, roasted, and steamed with a secret sauce. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The few of them ate until their faces glowed with oil.

After eating and drinking their fill, Qin Yuanhao arrogantly ordered his subordinates, "The few of you, go and search the entire city for these few people. If you can't find them, then don't come back!"

"Yes, big brother!" The bunch of subordinates replied and scattered.

After Qin Yuanhao finished his barbecue skewers, he was satisfied. He temporarily stopped thinking about the annoying rumor makers. At the same time, he didn't notice Lu Yang, who was hiding underground.

Very few people noticed what was beneath their feet, and Qin Yuanhao was no exception.
