Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1418 - 599: The Sect Leader’s Authority

"Nonsense!"

Deep underground, the Gluttonous Ancestor shouted angrily, "Back in the day, you were all subordinate forces of my Taotie Race! If it weren’t for you signing some damned contract with the Human Race, falling apart at the critical moment without a fight, how could my Taotie Race have been sealed underground by the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’?"

"So there was such an inside story?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing’s heart stirred, and he immediately understood the sordid dealings between these Demon Kings and the Taotie Race.

It seems these demon races aren’t clean either.

These bastards took advantage of my lack of knowledge about the past and tried to edge me out with talk of the Human Race betraying promises.

Looking at it now, these guys are no saints!

Didn’t they just sell out the Taotie Race?

The seven Great Demon Kings were exposed by the Gluttonous Ancestor for their sordid conduct, leaving them red-faced.

Those who experienced that time firsthand are naturally not them.

But they are all ancestors of their races, the forebears.

The forebears’ plan used the power of the Human Race to seal the Taotie Race, which was an extremely correct choice both in the past and now.

The only thing they miscalculated was that the Human Race was even more shameless than they had imagined.

After dealing with the Taotie Race, they schemed and turned the entire "Youlan Mountain Range" into a massive prison, sealing the seven Great Demon Races.

At this moment, the old members of the Taotie Race had long since died out.

This generation of the Taotie Race’s experts, sealed underground and without the help of Spirit Veins, relied solely on their racial heritage to cultivate seven Nascent Soul Realm experts; the rest of the tribe are average.

This reassured the seven Great Demon Kings, sparking an idea to subjugate the Taotie Race, allowing them to become the eighth Great Race of the "Youlan Mountain Range", bolstering their strength in preparation for the future.

"Enough!"

The Nine-tailed Demoness suddenly flung out eighteen fox tails, weaving them into a net in the air to block the thunder light, "Gluttonous Ancestor, if you are willing to ally today, we Seven Races are willing to offer three thousand miles of Spirit Veins as an apology!"

"Very well! Cooperation is possible!"

There was a moment of silence underground, then suddenly a cold laugh echoed, "But this ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ kid must die!"

"Want to deal with me?"

Li Yunjing laughed loudly at these words, "Then let’s see if you have the ability!"

He slammed the Purple Gold Gourd, and thousands of Thunder Dragons split instantly, enveloping the entire valley in a prison of thunder.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a clear sword chime suddenly sounded from the horizon.

A white figure riding a sword approached, countless sword lights falling like rain as his robe sleeves fluttered.

"Sect Leader Venerable?!"

Li Yunjing exclaimed in surprise.

The newcomer was indeed "Shenxiao Dao Sect" Sect Leader Ming Lingchuan!

Li Yunjing could not have imagined that at this critical moment, his superior would arrive.

Could this all be part of Ming Lingchuan’s plan?

Li Yunjing bowed from a distance and remained silent, knowing that with the Sect Leader Venerable present, his life was no longer in danger.

"Taotie, three hundred years have passed, and you are still this greedy."

Ming Lingchuan stood with hands behind his back atop the sword light, speaking calmly.

"Wow..."

Ming Lingchuan’s words shocked not only Li Yunjing but also stunned the seven Great Demon Kings.

The implication was crystal clear!

Three hundred years ago, Ming Lingchuan entered the "Demon Suppression Valley", ventured underground, and met the leader of the Taotie Race!

And the seven Great Demon Kings knew nothing about it!

The seven Great Demon Kings looked at each other, the three golden pupils of the Golden-winged Roc King contracting violently, clearly shaken by this unexpected development.

"Ming Lingchuan, you scoundrel, you finally came."

Underground, the leader of the Taotie Race fell silent for a long time before responding.

Ming Lingchuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly dissatisfied with Taotie’s statement.

"Taotie Leader, you and I made a deal back then; you pay a price, and I’ll repay you once."

However, he suppressed his dissatisfaction, lightly brushing his sleeve as a golden talisman decree slowly unfurled, "Now that the time is right, I have come to fulfill my end of the bargain."

"Ming Lingchuan... you do keep your promise."

A dull voice came from underground, "But..."

Its voice suddenly grew cold, "You didn’t say back then that after our race emerged, we’d be under these traitors’ control!"

"Wow..."

The words of the Taotie Leader made the faces of the seven Great Demon Kings even darker.

Their expressions turned hostile!

The seven Great Demon Races each have several Tier Four Demon Kings, combining to a total of at least twenty demon kings, and together with some demon kings from other tribes, the current Tier Four Demon Kings in the "Youlan Mountain Range" number twenty-five or six!

If it really came to breaking ties, the seven Great Demon Kings were not afraid of the Taotie Race.

Nonetheless, the Taotie Race remains quite influential, a party worth wooing.

Except in unavoidable circumstances, the seven Great Demon Kings still intended to befriend the Taotie Race, planning to use this tribe to counter the "Celestial Net Dao Sect" and even the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

"Internal affairs of the Demon Race, this seat should not interfere."

Ming Lingchuan smiled slightly, "However..."

His gaze swept over the seven Great Demon Kings, "Coexisting peacefully and striving for interests is the righteous path; internal strife at this juncture seems quite unwise."

Li Yunjing listened in a daze from the side.

Only then did he understand that the Sect Leader had made a secret agreement with the Taotie Race three hundred years ago!

The depth of Ming Lingchuan’s schemes was truly beyond his expectations.

Li Yunjing showed an expression of sudden realization.

He finally understood why Ming Lingchuan entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of negotiating at "Youlan Mountain Range"!

This was a test!

Secretly, Ming Lingchuan had been paying close attention to his performance!

The mission hadn’t gone smoothly, but the pros outweighed the cons; this was the limit of what a Golden Core Realm Cultivator could achieve.
