Everyone Knows I'm a Good Person Chapter 97.2

Chapter 97.2

Editor: Sahloknir

A certain piece of news spread like wildfire through Chi Yun sect.

Qing Jian Peak’s supreme elder Shi Qing had expelled his eldest disciple, Rong Jue, from the sect.

A number of people said that they had expected this to happen.

How Supreme Elder Shi Qing treated Rong Jue was clear for anyone to see. There was really no need to elaborate.

His harsh att.i.tude before could be explained away as expecting more out of his talented disciple, but what about forbidding him from seeking medical treatment after Rong Jue was injured?

Afterwards, although he openly clashed with Chi Xia Peak for Rong Jue’s sake, although he gave Rong Jue the Pill Aurora grade Longevity Pill that he had refined…

Some people thought that Shi Qing had decided to turn over a new leaf based on those acts, but no one was surprised that Shi Qing and Rong Jue would dissolve their master-disciple relationship since Rong Jue was now a mortal.

Why would a mortal remain in the cultivation world?

In addition, Supreme Elder Shi Qing clearly had no love for this disciple of his. Even if he had given Rong Jue a Longevity Pill in the end, most of the sect’s disciples agreed that it was out of pity.

After all, Rong Jue had gone from being a cultivator who could compete with the heavens to a mortal, and his lifespan had gone from a minimum of five hundred to a measly one hundred years.

Given the circ.u.mstances, a Longevity Pill to extend his life a little was the only kind of mentorly affection that Supreme Elder Shi Qing could give.

Everyone already knew in their hearts that Rong Jue would be leaving Qing Jian Peak, so no one was too shocked. The day he left was calm like any other, with no one planning on seeing Rong Jue off.

Shang Lu and Qiao Lingyu wanted to, but they were turned down by Rong Jue.

The two of them refused to give up hope. They continued to kneel on the cliffs of Qing Jian Peak, trying to get their Shizun to change his mind.

Even if Shixiong had become a mortal, he had grown up on Qing Jian Peak. If something happened to him after his sudden departure for the mortal realm, they wouldn’t be able to help him in time.

However, no matter how much they pleaded, Shi Qing turned a deaf ear and stayed in his room.

Shang Lu and Qiao Lingyu knelt for seven days.

They got up on the eighth day.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t hold on any longer. News about Rong Jue had reached Chi Yun Sect.

Their Da-shixiong had actually headed to the demon realm after leaving the cultivation world and made a name for himself in just seven days.

He had even killed many powerful demon cultivators infamous in the cultivation world for their cruel and barbaric natures.

Old Monster Mo had once gone to the mortal realm and used a city of mortals to refine magic treasures.

Yu Zhenren had profound cultivation but a despicable nature. He had once gone to the cultivation world and tricked many young cultivators into using their spiritual energy to heal him. In the end, all of his victims were drained of all their energy until they died.

There was also Ghost Cheng and Ren Zhenren…

These were all hated people who had committed heinous sins, but that even the major sects could do nothing about due to their profound cultivation.

Although Rong Jue killed some of the most wicked demon cultivators in the current era, Shang Lu and Qiao Lingyu did not feel like their Da-shixiong was simply eliminating evil from the world.

The reason was because after killing those people, Rong Jue took over their territories without ceremony.

Their kind and warm Da-shixiong who never raised his voice seemed to have undergone a drastic change.

Rumour had it that he trampled on lives as if they were ants.

Rumour had it that he was absolutely ruthless in the demon world, slaughtering all who stood in his way.

Rumour had it that he intended to become the demon lord.

In just seven days, Rong Jue had almost conquered half of the demon realm. Now, he was leading the hundreds of thousands of troops he had gathered to wage war with the current Demon Lord.

Why go so far if he was simply eliminating evil from the world?

Rong Jue’s actions clearly revealed his ambitious and cruel nature.

Shang Lu and Qiao Lingyu found it unbelievable, but even they had to accept the truth after seeing the scenes recorded in the spirits stones from the demon realm.

Their Da-shixiong had really degenerated into a demonic cultivator.

It was like he was an entirely different person now, someone who wanted to sit on the throne of the demon lord.

This was no longer the Da-shixiong that they knew.

The two of them went anxiously to look for Shi Qing.

But their Shizun only paled slightly and shook his head.

“He wouldn’t.”

He wouldn’t…what?

The truth of the matter had been laid out before them, not to mention those recorded scenes. The cold man in black armour, with heaven knows whose blood on his face, ruthlessly carving a path of carnage…who could it be but Rong Jue?

Not only did Shang Lu and Qiao Lingyu believe it to be so, even the rest of Chi Yun Sect gradually received the news.

There were quite a few waves of discussion.

After all, Rong Jue was a relatively well-known figure in Chi Yun Sect already, and now he had somehow conquered half of the demon realm in less than seven days after becoming a mortal.

Even cultivators were dying to know his secret.

While the disciples were simply discussing and scratching their gossiping itch, the upper echelons of Chi Yun Sect were already preparing for war.

On the tenth day, the news of Rong Jue’s ascension to the throne of demon lord came.

The Chi Yun Sect Master immediately gathered all the top bra.s.s and elders to discuss this matter.

Although the demon realm has had demon lords before, their forces were fragmented and impossible to gather under one banner.

Even if most demonic cultivators were brutish fiends who could best immortal cultivators 1v1, their lack of cooperation gave the cultivation world an edge in large-scale conflicts.

But Rong Jue has unified the demon realm.

With his ambitious and cruel nature, who knew if he would set his sights on the cultivation world after conquering the demon realm.

Chi Yun Sect was able to become the number one immortal sect by relying on both cultivation and educated deductions.

Zhang Cheng of Chi Xia Peak immediately snorted coldly and glared at Shi Qing after hearing what the Sect Master had to say.

“That would be a question for Supreme Elder Shi Qing. Just how did he manage to raise such a ‘good’ disciple?”

“I heard that when Rong Jue was still at Qing Jian Peak, Supreme Elder Shi Qing did not treat him well, ah. Now that he’s become the demon lord, if he does invade the cultivation world, it would be in large part thanks to Supreme Elder Shi Qing.

Shi Qing just looked down expressionlessly without saying a word after Zhang Cheng threw the pot to him.

“That’s enough. We haven’t even figured out our enemy outside yet, is this really the time to fight amongst ourselves?” The Sect Master chided.

“Besides, whether Rong Jue wants to invade the cultivation world or not isn’t set in stone…”

Before he could finish, a disciple ran in from outside.

“Sect Master! The demon realm, the demon realm’s army is advancing in our direction!”

The faces of the people present immediately changed.

How could they be so fast?!!!

Didn’t Rong Jue just conquer the demon realm?!

The Sect Master surged to his feet. “How many have they brought?!”

The disciple’s face was pale. He was obviously terrified.

“There’s too many to count… It’s like the entire demon world has mobilized! Sect Master, they’re coming in force. What should we do?”

What should we do?

Since the entire demon realm’s forces had come, what else could they do?

It seemed like their only option was to wait for death.

Zhang Cheng also stood up. “It must be because of Shi Qing that he’s coming towards our Chi Yun sect! If Shi Qing hadn’t done all that to him in the first place, he wouldn’t have come directly towards us.”

There was no way Chi Yun sect could fight off an army of that size. Zhang Cheng couldn’t care less about anything else right now. He grit his teeth and proposed, “Sect Master, why don’t we hand over Shi Qing when Rong Jue arrives?”

“A single life in exchange for the safety of our sect is worth it.”

“Nonsense!!”

The Sect Master rebuked him coldly. “No matter what grudge he has with Rong Jue, Supreme Elder Shi Qing is still a member of my Chi Yun sect!”

“So what if we must do battle against the demon realm?”

He quickly formed some seals, sending them in the direction of the other sects to ask for help. He rose with icy determination. “If my Chi Yun Sect is to perish today, we will take the enemy down with us!”

“Everyone! Come out with me to fight!”

Zhang Cheng: “…”

What f.u.c.king fight?

With a displeased expression, he contemplated running away when he had the chance later.

How could they possibly defeat all of the demon realm’s forces?

It was impossible.

Everyone present could see what he was thinking. But now that the eve of battle was near, they frowned but didn’t say anything.

As soon as the group went out, the restrictions surrounding Chi Yun sect were countered.

Disciples scattered and ran in all directions. Overhead, the demon realm army advanced like a humongous dark storm cloud.

Just their sheer numbers and presence were terrifying.

Rong Jue was at the head, dressed in black and holding a long sword. He flew straight down.

Zhang Cheng suddenly pushed Shi Qing out.

“Rong Jue, I know you came to attack Chi Yun sect because you hate Shi Qing. He’s right here, so do as you wish with him!”

“How impudent!”

With a dark expression, the demon lord fiercely flung out his sleeve, sending his demonic energy to directly attack Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng screamed miserably as he was sent flying by the heavy blow.

All the supreme elders jerked to attention and turned their weapons towards the demon lord, but…

In full view of everyone, he walked towards Shi Qing.

—Thud!

And dropped straight onto his knees!

In front of the dumbfounded crowd, the demon lord looked up at Shi Qing with moist eyes. He spoke resoundingly, “Shizun, this disciple is now the demon lord. I have brought the demon realm’s forces to join the cultivation world’s alliance.

With a wave of his hand, all of the demon realm’s army behind him lowered their weapons.

Rong Jue lifted his face, which was full of determination.

“If the demon realm and the cultivation world become allies, this disciple can remain at your side, despite being a demonic cultivator.”

Sahl: Aww Rong Jue is just too cute!
