Master’s Plan to Revitalize the Demon Sect with Beautiful Girls - Chapter 48



Chapter 48: In short, he ghosted

The next day marked the final day of the rookie competition.

This day was more lively than any previous day, and more people came.

Even those who hadn’t come to watch before would come today to see who would win the title of champion.

“Two demon sects, two righteous sects, which side do you think will win?”

“What are you talking about, of course the righteous sects will win.”

“Yeah, do you really think the demon sects will win?”

“If the demon sects win, that would really be a tragedy.”

The competition hadn’t even started, and the crowd was already buzzing, discussing the outcome of the match.

The heads of the major sects looked at the arena with solemn expressions. They had never expected the final result to turn out this way.

Of course, as the organizers, they still had some ways to save face.

Although the audience would certainly want to see a showdown between the righteous and the evil factions, unfortunately, they deliberately placed the two demon sect members together.

This was to avoid a final match where two demon cultivators would face off.

With a simple maneuver, they could at least ensure that there would be a disciple from a prestigious sect in the final.

As for the ultimate winner, naturally, it would be in their pocket.

No matter what, they could not let a demon cultivator win the rookie competition.

“Daoist Baixu, it seems this match has exceeded our expectations,” one sect head said to the old man with white beard.

The old man with white beard stroked his beard, “Let everything take its course.”

He no longer cared about the rookie competition itself; his attention was entirely focused on He Youzhou.

“I have some matters to attend to, I’ll be leaving for a while,” the old man with white beard said, then floated away from the high spectator stand.

After leaving, he went straight to find Wanzhu.

But to his surprise, Wanzhu was also looking for him.

“Master, I’m afraid I can’t go with you to deal with that demon,” Wanzhu said with his head lowered.

“Hmm?” The old man with white beard’s voice was filled with displeasure; obviously, he hadn’t expected Wanzhu to say this.

Indeed, he alone could handle He Youzhou without any problem, but Wanzhu was clearly backing out on him.

“Ruitai has gone missing,” Wanzhu said in a deep voice, “I must go find him.”

Hearing this, the old man with white beard stroked his beard, “If that’s the case, then go.”

Wanzhu’s reason left him with nothing to say. His child was missing; as a father, how could Wanzhu not go looking?

However, Ruitai’s disappearance was quite sudden; the old man with white beard hadn’t heard about it beforehand.

“When did Ruitai go missing?” the old man with white beard asked.

“Probably yesterday,” Wanzhu said in a deep voice, “Yesterday, the house Ruitai bought in Baicheng was set on fire.”

“And the fire that burned the house was no ordinary fire.” A hint of coldness appeared on his chiseled face.

“Alright, you handle this matter,” the old man with white beard nodded, “As for that brat He Youzhou, I can deal with him alone.”

“Thank you, Master. I’ll take my leave now,” Wanzhu said, then hurriedly left.

To save time, he even flew with his sword, completely disregarding his spiritual energy consumption.

The old man with white beard watched Wanzhu’s anxious figure and shook his head helplessly.

These days, it seemed that nothing was going smoothly; there was always some unexpected event.

Even so, he was determined to obtain the divine weapon in He Youzhou’s hands.

Wanzhu first hurried back to the Qingshan Sect and searched the entire sect.

However, he couldn’t find any trace of Wan Ruicai within the sect.

“Ruicai, my son, where on earth have you gone?” Wanzhu’s hands trembled.

He only had one child, Wan Ruicai, and his wife had passed away early on.

Wan Ruicai was now the most important person to him, and he absolutely could not allow anything to happen to him.

This man, who always had an extremely serious expression on his face, now showed an incredibly vulnerable look.

No one had ever seen him so anxious.

He stood at the door of Wan Ruicai’s room, his mind in a complete mess.

He had thought about asking disciples who had a good relationship with Wan Ruicai for clues, but he found that he couldn’t find those disciples within the sect.

Wanzhu increasingly felt that something was wrong.

Before he carefully searched, he hadn’t even noticed that there were so many fewer outer disciples in the sect.

Although not many people paid attention to the outer disciples, the reduced number would eventually attract some notice.

After all, no matter what, they were all disciples of the Qingshan Sect.

“Master!” Suddenly, Lin Qingxue’s voice came from behind him.

Because Wanzhu was very anxious at the moment, he turned around impatiently, “What is it?”

“I found where Senior Brother might be.” Lin Qingxue bowed to Wanzhu and said.

“What!? Where! How did you find out!?” Wanzhu was very agitated upon hearing Lin Qingxue’s words.

“Master, calm down. It’s at a farm outside Baicheng, a property that Senior Brother bought.” Lin Qingxue understood why Wanzhu was so agitated and felt infinite emotion in her heart.

She had never seen the usually stern-faced master show such an expression.

She shook her head, shaking off her messy thoughts, “I learned it from his mouth.”

With that, Lin Qingxue pushed out a Qingshan Sect disciple she was holding.

This disciple was covered with many cloths, hiding most of his body, looking very suspicious.

“You are…” Wanzhu saw the disciple’s appearance and knew what was going on.

And he was undoubtedly one of the disciples very familiar with Wan Ruicai.

“Disciple did not lie! Really did not lie, so let me go!” The disciple said in a panic, afraid that his identity would be revealed.

Lin Qingxue straightforwardly let go of her hand, “You can go.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister!” The disciple staggered a few steps and hurriedly left.

Wanzhu pondered for a moment. If these disciples said it, then it was most likely true.

“Qingxue, you have done me a great favor.” Wanzhu said with great emotion.

“Master, this is what Qingxue should do.” Lin Qingxue said, “I want to go with Master to find Senior Brother.”

Wan Rui had always taken care of Lin Qingxue, and it was also Wan Rui who had intervened to reduce her punishment the last time.

Logically and emotionally, she should help find Wan Rui.

Although she was still deeply frustrated by the recent competition loss, finding someone was clearly more important than feeling dejected.

There was no time for her to continue wallowing in self-pity.

“Well… alright, two people would be more efficient,” Wan Zhu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
