Upon successfully resolving the crisis in the town and saving the people, news of Liang Tian's achievements reached Qingfeng Temple. Xuanfeng Zhenren, upon hearing this, was very pleased with Liang Tian's performance. He understood that Liang Tian not only possessed exceptional talent but also harbored a sense of justice, destined to shine brightly on his path of cultivation in the future.
However, despite Liang Tian's success, it had drawn the attention of the Blood Demon Cult. This evil organization, hidden in darkness, was known for its secretive and ruthless actions. They practiced the Evil Technique and harmed the innocent to enhance their own power, aiming to dominate the Cultivation World. By thwarting their plans in the town, Liang Tian had undoubtedly provoked them, igniting the fury of the Blood Demon Sect Leader.
“A mere brat dares to ruin my plans! Send out my orders; we must uncover this boy's background. He will pay dearly for his actions!” The Blood Demon Sect Leader raged within the main hall, leaving the surrounding cult members silent with fear.
Soon, spies from the Blood Demon Cult uncovered Liang Tian's identity and learned that he was a disciple of Qingfeng Temple under Xuanfeng Zhenren. Upon receiving this information, a sinister smile crept across the Blood Demon Sect Leader's face. “Qingfeng Temple? Hmph, how dare they shelter someone who opposes my Blood Demon Cult! It seems they do not regard us with any respect. In that case, they should not blame me for being ruthless.”
Thus, the Blood Demon Cult began secretly plotting a conspiracy against Qingfeng Temple. They dispatched cult members to create disturbances near Qingfeng Temple, disrupting the lives of nearby citizens in an attempt to incite discontent towards the temple. Simultaneously, they spread rumors claiming that Qingfeng Temple was colluding with evil forces to tarnish its reputation.
Meanwhile, Liang Tian continued his diligent cultivation at Qingfeng Temple, unaware that the Blood Demon Cult had turned its sights on him and the temple. One day, while practicing, he suddenly sensed something unusual in the atmosphere outside Qingfeng Temple. Alerted, he rose and left his training room.
As he approached the entrance of the temple, he saw a crowd of citizens gathered outside, clamoring loudly. Liang Tian stepped forward to inquire about the situation. An elderly man angrily exclaimed, “What is going on at your Qingfeng Temple? Recently, strange occurrences have been happening around here, leaving everyone in fear. Some say it’s because your Qingfeng Temple has colluded with evil forces that led to this situation.”
Liang Tian was taken aback; he knew there must be something amiss. He calmed the citizens and said, “Dear folks, please do not be agitated. We at Qingfeng Temple will thoroughly investigate this matter and provide you with an explanation. I ask you all to remain calm and not to believe in rumors.”
Hearing Liang Tian's words, the citizens' emotions stabilized somewhat, but doubts still lingered among them. Watching them leave with worried expressions, Liang Tian realized that this was no coincidence. He immediately sought out Xuanfeng Zhenren to report what had just transpired.
After listening carefully, Xuanfeng Zhenren’s expression turned grave. “It seems there is indeed a force behind this causing trouble. Liang Tian, did you offend anyone during your descent from the mountain?”
Liang Tian pondered for a moment before recounting in detail his encounter with the Blood Demon Cult in the town to Xuanfeng Zhenren. Upon hearing this, Xuanfeng Zhenren’s demeanor became serious. “The Blood Demon Cult? This is not a simple organization. They act wickedly and employ cruel methods; it appears they are retaliating against us.”
Feeling guilty within himself, Liang Tian said, “Master, it is all my fault for not being cautious enough; I have brought trouble upon Qingfeng Temple.”
Xuanfeng Zhenren waved his hand and said, "You need not blame yourself. What you have done is a righteous act; there is no fault in that. However, since the Blood Demon Cult has already made their move, we cannot sit idly by. From now on, we must be more cautious and vigilant, closely monitoring the movements of the Blood Demon Cult. At the same time, we need to find ways to alleviate the people's doubts and restore the reputation of Qingfeng Temple."
Liang Tian nodded firmly and replied, "Yes, Master. I will stand by your side to face this challenge together and ensure that the schemes of the Blood Demon Cult do not succeed."
At this moment, Qingfeng Temple appeared calm on the surface, but beneath it, turbulent currents were stirring.
