The next morning, early in the day, Luo Yan came to Ling Mo Xie's room and knocked on the door. Ling Mo Xie, who was sleeping soundly, felt annoyed and sat up with sleepy eyes.
After a bit of hesitation, he opened the door and saw it was Luo Yan. Yawning and rubbing his eyes, he asked, "Hah... what’s the matter?"
Luo Yan, however, was lost in his own thoughts and said expressionlessly, "That... Great Luo Sect."
Ling Mo Xie smiled helplessly. Despite Luo Yan's cold demeanor, he was indeed impatient. He had no idea what Luo Yan wanted to do at Great Luo Sect.
"Wait for me to change clothes. You go find a spot downstairs; we can have breakfast while discussing things. Be careful of the people from Great Luo Sect!"
Ling Mo Xie nodded. This was something he had already promised Luo Yan. Although it was dangerous, he wasn't planning to back out.
A flicker of joy passed through Luo Yan's eyes, but his expression remained unchanged as he replied lightly, "Got it, I’ll go now!" With that, he turned and walked downstairs decisively.
Ling Mo Xie shook his head helplessly at Luo Yan's back; this guy really was a stiff-faced person!
After closing the door, he quickly put on his white embroidered bamboo robe and hurried downstairs.
Luo Yan was already waiting at a window-side table. Bai Yunfei and Hong Chi were also seated there. They looked much better than last night. Bai Yunfei was slouched on the bench against the wall by the window, one foot resting on the other end of the bench, holding a delicate wine flask in his hand.
Ling Mo Xie smiled and walked over to take a seat. "Oh? What’s up? Don’t you think you’ve gone a bit overboard?"
Seeing Ling Mo Xie approach, Bai Yunfei put down his foot from the bench and leaned closer with an excited and curious look in his eyes. He asked, "How did you know that killing Spirit Beasts could also improve cultivation?"
"We specifically went out last night to hunt Spirit Beasts and tried it out; it really works! But the improvement is too little; you can hardly feel it," Bai Yunfei said with a pout.
Then he smiled broadly and continued, "But this is still good! Just wait! One day my cultivation will surpass yours. By then, I wonder if your spells that control me will still work! I’m definitely going to give you a good beating!"
Hearing Bai Yunfei's boastful words, Ling Mo Xie merely smiled at him without saying anything.
In his heart, he thought, Don’t worry kid! That day will never come. You kill monsters, but I will also gain Experience Points! The more you kill, the more Experience Points I will get.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie squinting his eyes and smiling without speaking, as if everything was under his control, Bai Yunfei slapped him playfully and said, "What do you mean by that? Now that I just need to kill Spirit Beasts, I can improve much faster than through cultivation. Once this is all over here, I'm heading to Spirit Beast Forest—'fighting on the front lines to protect humanity!'"
"How eloquent you are!"
Ling Mo Xie knew very well that Bai Yunfei simply wanted to go kill monsters and level up.
The Spirit Beast Forest was the territory of the beast and spirit beast clans. The nearby countries often suffered from monster invasions, but the sects in the vicinity usually ignored them, only occasionally sending some disciples with not much cultivation to experience it.
However, there were quite a few loose cultivators there, as the meat, fur, and horns of spirit beasts were valuable and could be exchanged for spirit stones and cultivation resources.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's sarcastic remark, Bai Yunfei chuckled without getting angry and dug into the food on the table.
"Ling Mo Xie, about my matter..."
Luo Yan, unable to sit still as Ling Mo Xie had not yet brought up his own issue, reminded him.
Bai Yunfei looked up in confusion and asked, "Luo Yan, what is it? Why am I unaware?"
Luo Yan ignored Bai Yunfei's question and turned to Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie thought for a moment and said, "We don't know much about the Da Luo Sect. You should tell us the background of this matter first, and how powerful the Da Luo Sect is. Share everything you know!"
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Bai Yunfei realized it was about the Da Luo Sect and eagerly said, "What? Are we going to deal with the Da Luo Sect? I can be your vanguard and scout around!"
Ling Mo Xie shot him a glance and smiled, "Sure! You can go alone. It would be best if you could wipe out the Da Luo Sect; I have no objections!"
Bai Yunfei immediately deflated, sitting down properly and awkwardly saying, "Well, I was just joking! Don't take it seriously! Haha! Let me sneak into the Da Luo Sect instead."
Only then did Ling Mo Xie look at Luo Yan, signaling him to explain the background of this matter.
Luo Yan's gaze drifted as if he was lost in thought. He spoke in a heavy voice, "I haven't told you my identity yet, have I?"
"You're just an Evil Cultivator; what's there to say?" Bai Yunfei replied while glaring at Xiao Chi over some fruit on the table without looking up.
Luo Yan glanced at him and said calmly, "Heavenly Demon Sect. Have you heard of it?"
Bai Yunfei paused, a look of disbelief crossing his face as he glanced at Luo Yan. "No way? The Supreme Heavenly Demon Sect's Luo Guyan dared to bring a celestial down to the mortal realm? That person founded the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Ling Mo Xie looked at Bai Yunfei and then at Luo Yan, weakly asking, "Um, can someone explain this?"
"No way? Boss, you actually don't know about the Supreme Heavenly Demon Sect?" Bai Yunfei looked at Ling Mo Xie with a strange expression.
Ling Mo Xie shot an annoyed glare at Bai Yunfei. "What the hell! So what if I don't know? Is it famous? If it's so famous, how could I not know? Just tell me!"
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's angry expression, Bai Yunfei's confidence immediately waned. Although he inwardly cursed, of course it's famous; I don't know where you crawled out from, but you've never heard of the Supreme Heavenly Demon Sect.
He hurriedly explained, "Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, the conflict between righteousness and evil reached its peak, making a great battle between them inevitable. At that time, the leader of the Righteous Path, the Xiaoyao Sect, actually used a supreme formation to summon a celestial being from the heavenly realm. The Evil Path was in disarray. It was during this time that Luo Guyan, who was only in the Tribulation Period, emerged and single-handedly confronted the celestial. That battle truly changed the heavens and earth!"
"And then?" Ling Mo Xie looked at Bai Yunfei as if he had witnessed that great battle himself, captivated by his storytelling and had to ask him.
"Huh? And then?" Bai Yunfei snapped back to reality at Ling Mo Xie's question and continued.
"During their fight, Luo Guyan unexpectedly broke through amidst the battle as the Heavenly Tribulation descended! It is said that the powerful beings watching thought he was seeking his own death. Who would have known that not only did he withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, but he also killed that celestial in the end? Later on, he founded an Evil Path sect called the Heavenly Demon Sect, named after the cultivation method he practiced."
