After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 309 - 244: Someone Wants to Rebuild the Sect

Upon the Cangmu Sect Hall.

The surroundings sustained some damage, but due to the Array’s enhancement, things were automatically repairing.

Situ Baichuan, radiating fierce Sword Intent, burst into laughter:

"What a thrill, the Sect Master has finally seen the light. Are we going to start steamrolling the neighboring sects soon, aiming to be the only dominant force?"

The others looked at the hall, eventually turning away in silence.

"Call us when it’s something important; no need for these trifles."

Those who came to help shook their heads and departed.

In the end, only Qu Youdao and two others remained.

"It’s really hard to ask these people for help." Qu Youdao sighed as he picked up a high chair and sat down.

He then spoke to the excited Situ Baichuan: "The Sect Master hasn’t had a change of heart, though it was his idea to become affiliated with the Demon Sect.

But his intention is for this to end.

To give them no reason to trouble us.

After all, the Sect Master thought this could avoid conflicts, and that’s why we’ve become affiliated with the Demon Sect.

It’s not that the Sect Master wants to expand the sect.

Moreover, just like before, we should cause less trouble, engage less in fights, and minimize disputes.

Even as part of the Demon Sect, you’ll need to stay properly confined to this place."

Hearing this, Situ Baichuan was puzzled, "Then why did we act against those from the Heavenly Yang Sect?"

Qu Youdao shrugged, "That was my idea. Now that we’re part of the Demon Sect, shouldn’t we immerse in the Demon Sect’s ambiance?

But it was done without informing the Sect Master, so this matter must not escalate.

If it does, the Sect Master would take issue with it."

Situ Baichuan: "..."

"What about going forward?" Yan Ruxue asked with interest.

She found herself a chair and sat down, seemingly unaffected by the surroundings.

"What do you mean, ’what about going forward’?" Qu Youdao leaned back and said, "Just be a good Demon Sect, then when people come demanding the old heads, we extort something and release them.

No need to really fall out with them.

As for businesses, if they don’t mind, then let it continue as usual.

If they do mind, then just pause it.

Of course, they might try to besiege us later, so get the Night Barrier ready and we’ll be in an impregnable position.

As long as there aren’t significant benefits for them, they won’t risk their lives against us.

As for the Sect Disciples.

Suddenly becoming a Demon Sect will naturally cause a lot of them anxiety and trepidation.

It’s inevitable that some will leave.

Those at the foot of the mountain can leave if they wish.

The same goes for those on the mountain.

As for Direct Disciples and True Inheritors, unless they are foolish, they should not leave.

If they do leave, that’s fine too. Letting a few go does not matter; if disciples feel that staying in the sect is meaningless, then there’s no point forcibly keeping them.

Give them their freedom.

Our sect may be small, but we’re not without resolve.

Apart from some key individuals, everyone else can have the choice.

We’re not significantly short without them, nor significantly abundant with them."

"What about the Royal Family?" Yan Ruxue asked curiously.

Considering the Royal Princess is still here, if they object and take her away.

Wouldn’t that mean...

all our previous efforts were in vain?

...

Spirit Bamboo Peak.

In the big courtyard,

Chu Meng still held Spiritual Medicine in her hands, stunned by the news about the sect.

She couldn’t comprehend what the Teaching Elders were thinking.

How could we suddenly turn from a Righteous Sect into a Demon Sect?

Although we were never quite a venerable righteous sect before,

at the very least, we were neutral.

Everyone turned a blind eye but still managed to do business properly.

After all, there was no enmity, just relationships of interest.

But now it’s different.

The stance has changed.

From being neutral, we’ve become a Demon Sect.

This means that everyone in the sect, willing or not, will be classified as a Demon Sect Disciple.

Out there, we could be targets for attacks.

Chunyu came running in worriedly, "Miss, now that the Cangmu Sect has turned into a Demon Sect, what should we do?"

"What to do?" Chu Meng pondered and asked, "Do you want to leave?"

At these words, Chunyu became alarmed and bowed respectfully, "Chunyu will follow Miss wherever."

"What would our family think if they found out I became a Demon Sect Disciple, would they be pleased?" Chu Meng said with a smile, "Given my talents, they’d worry if I were born into an Immortal Sect.

But being from a Demon Sect is different.

It feels somewhat less glamorous.

Not quite as outshining as the others."

Chunyu bowed and said, "To Chunyu, it doesn’t matter; being by Miss’s side is enough."

"Also, wasn’t it said that we were merely colluding with the Demon Sect? How did we end up actually becoming one?" Chu Meng opened the conversation.

Regarding the sect’s transformation, everyone was shocked.

Not just her, but others even more so.

And there might be some disturbances emerging in the sect.

It remains to be seen what actions some might take.

"Go check, see how the Sect Disciples are reacting." Chu Meng instructed.

Chunyu nodded in response.

Afterwards, Chu Meng continued tending to her Spiritual Medicine.

...

Gu An sat in the Outer Peak courtyard, directing Pang Wen and others to scout the Inner Sect.

To find out what thoughts and actions the people inside harbored.

As for disciples on the mountain, he would personally visit tomorrow.

The entire sect was now teetering on the edge of instability.

A normal righteous sect had turned into a Demon Sect.

To say it had no impact, he naturally didn’t believe.

Moreover, Qingmu City would certainly see changes.

Following this, the attitude of other major sects towards the Cangmu Sect would likely become clear.

If it leads to a great war, then...

Heaven knows what might happen.

Evening.

Pang Wen and others returned.

Each bore a different expression.

"What did you encounter?" Gu An asked.

Pang Wen pondered for a moment and said:

"Many are worried, but they can only accept it, however..."

"However what?" Gu An asked.

"Some people seem to be secretly provoking others to leave the sect," Pang Wen cautiously replied.
