Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

The door was pushed open in an instant, and a woman of about the same age as Jiang Tingwan came in. She just called herself "senior sister", and that woman was her only junior sister, Gu Qingman.

But when Gu Qingman came in, she saw Jiang Tingwan with disheveled hair and wrapped up like a dumpling, and she hadn't even gotten out of bed. She sneered for a moment, "Hey! What's wrong with you, Senior Sister? You closed the door in broad daylight, and you didn't even comb your hair."

As she finished speaking, the two men who walked in next also saw this scene and avoided looking at it inappropriately.

Hearing the sarcasm in her tone, Jiang Tingwan also remembered her personality.

Gu Qingman has always wanted to compete with Bai Wangshu since childhood, and is also an admirer of his senior brother Cang Shuzi. However, because he discovered that Cang Shuzi has a secret love for Bai Wangshu, he often can't help but target Bai Wangshu.

Now that he has become a party to this triangle relationship, even Jiang Tingwan himself is speechless.

"Fourth Junior Sister!"

Cang Shuzi shouted seriously, and Gu Qingman could only reluctantly suppress the sneer on his face.

"Junior sister, did you fight with the monster just now?" Cang Shuzi asked after seeing the traces of a fight in the yard.

Jiang Tingwan nodded while wrapped in the quilt, "Yes, it was a fox demon, but she escaped."

"Third Junior Sister was able to escape with her spiritual power. It seems that this monster is very powerful." Xing Mingzi, who was accompanying them, sounded worried and looked solemn.

Xing Mingzi is an easy-going and optimistic person with a big heart and a fat body. The most important things in the world are eating and drinking. He is usually a big victim who is caught between Bai Wangshu and Gu Qingman and suffers from their bullying. There are not many things that can make him show such an expression.

Now the three of them came here at the same time, obviously they wanted to talk about something important.

"Brothers, do you have something important to tell me?"

Cang Shuzi and Xing Mingzi looked at each other, their expressions became more serious, and then they found a seat in the hall and sat down.

Gu Qingman also found a place to sit down. After taking a look at Jiang Tingwan on the bed, she said in a cold voice, "Is this how you plan to discuss matters, Senior Sister?"

The three people looked at him at the same time. Jiang Tingwan glanced at the wet clothes beside him in embarrassment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and got out of bed with the quilt, and found a place to sit down.

Gu Qingman looked at her in confusion, "Senior sister, are you so reluctant to part with this quilt?"

Jiang Tingwan pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment. She couldn't say that she had no clothes to wear, so she could only explain awkwardly: "I am a little tired after the fight just now. I want to rest early after the discussion. This will be more convenient. You guys decide."

After listening to this, Gu Qingman snorted in disbelief and was about to say something else.

"Junior Sister Wan, what you said makes sense. Apart from eating and drinking, sleeping is also a big deal in the world! Uh, hehe..."

Xing Mingzi stepped forward to help, and then there was a burst of awkward laughter. Jiang Tingwan also laughed dryly along the stairs.

Hearing the two people's dry laughter, Gu Qingman's expression became unnatural.

"Let's get back to business!"

A calm voice put an end to the awkward situation.

Jiang Tingwan and Xing Mingzi also put away their smiles and sat down obediently.

Atractylodes macrocephala also got to the point seriously.

"A few days ago, the sect received news that the remnants of the Wuchen Palace were gathering cultivators from the Xuanjie who had entered the devil realm, raising monsters and ghosts, and establishing a new sect called the Three Corpses Sect."

"Three Corpses Sect?" Jiang Tingwan murmured the name of this sect. Wasn't that the sect that Qing Lan had established for Mu Yunzhong? However, she vaguely remembered that the name of Three Corpses Sect was only known to everyone at the Immortal Sect Hundred Sects Competition.

It seems a lot earlier now?

"Yes, in addition to this, a new sect that uses elixirs to further its cultivation has suddenly emerged in the cultivator world, called Zizai Sect."

"What kind of sect is this?" Jiang Tingwan asked unconsciously. When she set up her world view, she did include some sects, but she had no impression of this sect.

Hearing Jiang Tingwan's question, Gu Qingman snorted disdainfully, "They are just opportunists who take shortcuts and use elixirs to increase their cultivation. I don't think they are as powerful as the rumors say."

In contrast to Gu Qingman's disdainful expression was Cang Shuzi's solemnity.

Xing Mingzi also took over the conversation and explained: "Not long ago, Wen Bumian, the leader of Zizai Sect, broke through to the lower heaven level in just three years with the help of elixirs as a mortal. This incident has now become a strange story in the entire cultivation world."

Three years to break through from a mortal to a lower heaven? Jiang Tingwan was shocked after hearing this. The most special thing about this book should be the hero and heroine and Mu Yunzhong, who entered the lower heaven at the age of twenty years, but that's because they are the hero, heroine and boss set by themselves!

But who is this Wen Bumian? How come he doesn't even have any impression of me, the author?

Sui Jiu: This world has become real, and the story you wrote is no longer the only main line. Outside the story you set, those people and things that you have never recorded are extending their own lives.

Jiang Tingwan: That means everything that happens later may be beyond my control?

Jiang Tingwan suddenly realized a crisis. His self-rescue was no longer just following the known plot and heading towards the end step by step. Instead, he was facing completely new possibilities!!!

Sui Jiu: In essence, you are the founder of this world, but not the controller. You complete your self-salvation, and the direction of other people’s stories has nothing to do with you.

Jiang Tingwan: ...

Sui Jiu's cold explanation made Jiang Tingwan feel sick. Whose book-traveling system was equivalent to nothing, and even the plot was constantly refreshed?

Jiang Tingwan made a sound in a daze, and a bitter smile spread across the corners of his mouth.

Cang Shuzi noticed her expression and thought that she was feeling frustrated after hearing about others easily breaking through to the lower heaven level, so there was some comfort in his tone.

"Junior sister, there is no need to be surprised by this. What Junior Sister Qingman said just now is not without reason. Junior sister has always been obsessed with cultivation. She knows better than us that cultivation is not easy. If there is no solid foundation, and one only pursues the speed of realm, it will ultimately be nothing but castles in the air, flashy but not practical."

Xing Mingzi also took the opportunity to comfort her, "Yes, Third Junior Sister, don't worry about it. You are the most talented cultivator in the sect, and the only one who has successfully practiced the Three Yuan Jue. I believe you will be able to break through to the Zhongtian level in the near future and restore the glory of the sect."

Jiang Tingwan just came back to his senses after hearing the voice and heard a lot of comfort. Before he could react, Gu Qingman got jealous and said angrily:

"That's right. If it weren't for Senior Sister's determination to sacrifice herself for justice and to be ruthless and unrighteous to the extreme, our sect's unique mental method would have no successor."

"Fourth Junior Sister!"

Cang Shuzi looked at Gu Qingman and called out. Although there was no change in his expression, his tone became slightly heavier. Xing Mingzi on the side also shook his head at Gu Qingman to stop him.

Gu Qingman shut up, but looked aggrieved.

Jiang Tingwan looked at the three people in the hall with complicated expressions and knew what was going on.

Although Gu Qingman's words sounded sarcastic, they indirectly revealed the true method of practicing the San Yuan Jue: to cut off all emotions and thoughts, and to be ruthless and unrighteous.

It was not known when it started, but the leader and elders of the Sanyuan Sect suddenly realized that the Sanyuan Jue was actually a mental method that was both good and evil. Those with a firm heart of Taoism would become immortals, while those with impure minds would become demons.

Practitioners need to abandon all lustful thoughts, even human nature.

Every time there is a breakthrough in realm, it only takes a moment for one to become possessed by the devil.

All practitioners who have been attacked have described that moment in unison: if they cling to human emotions for even a moment, they will be attacked back in an instant, and their efforts will be ruined. As for the choice of abandoning all humanity, they cannot even judge whether it represents success or possessing a demon.

Therefore, when Bai Wangshu's power increased greatly and her temperament changed drastically after practicing the Sanyuan Jue, she even received the news of Mu Xingzhi's death not long after she went down the mountain.

Gu Qingman was the first one to suspect that Bai Wangshu had not really achieved success, but had fallen into the evil path of cultivation.

But although Gu Qingman said this, he was still jealous in his heart. After all, although he knew the mental formula of San Yuan Jue, he had never even entered the door, so how could he expect backlash?

The atmosphere in the room fell into silence because of the glances between the three people.

After all, Jiang Tingwan is not the real Bai Wangshu. When faced with such an atmosphere, she only feels awkward and guilty, because she is the one who set up these plots.

Xing Mingzi, who was always good at adjusting the atmosphere, quickly stepped out to ease the situation and said, "Let's talk to Third Junior Sister about the important matter."

When it came to business, Cang Shuzi realized that he had spoken inappropriately. His expression softened a bit and he looked at Xing Mingzi opposite him, indicating that he should speak first.

Xing Mingzi took the hint and lowered his head slightly, as if he was concerned about Bai Wangshu's mood. Finally, he said tentatively: "Junior sister has been obsessed with practicing Sanyuan Jue these years, and may not know about other things. In recent years, there are few outstanding disciples in the sect, and the status of Sanyuan Sect is getting worse day by day. In addition, the Xuan Realm is changing rapidly now..."

"Brother, please speak directly if you have anything to say!" Jiang Tingwan interrupted Xing Mingzi before he finished speaking. Jiang Tingwan still remembered his personality. He always had to lay the groundwork before speaking.

No matter how unspeakable the secret is, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how impossible it is, in the end, it is all for the purpose of not offending others and getting the other party to agree to his request. If he really continues to talk about it, I am afraid that people will feel sleepy.

Xing Mingzi pursed her lips slightly, turned to look at Cang Shuzi beside her, and after getting his nod, she spoke out her purpose with all her strength.

"My brother and I hope you can accept another disciple!"

"what!!!"

After hearing this, Jiang Tingwan stood up almost in surprise.
