Chapter 402 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (12) (1/2)

The Demon Sect members were famous for being afraid of death, taking the stance that ‘everyone has a part to play in treasuring life’.

So ever since Jiang Zhan came out from seclusion, the Demon Sect trended towards a whole new style. As the former Sect Master, the sect members still listened to Jiang Zhan, but this meant that they both couldn’t eat meat and had to fix the road regardless.

“You guys turned coat for a few pieces of meat?! Where’s your dignity?!” Jiang Zhan was so angry, he felt like he was going to burst.

“On the day we entered the Demon Sect, didn’t you tell us that dignity couldn’t fill our stomachs? That real men had to be flexible? We’re lying low and waiting for our chance ah!” A sect member retorted.

Jiang Zhan, “…” ‘Since when did I say something as dumb as that?! Wait, that’s not the point.’

Jiang Zhan beckoned the sect members closer. “You guys drug her tonight. I(lz) want to take back my position!”

“Sect Master…” ‘Are you an idiot?’ “It’s not realistic to drug Ms Wu Zheng.”

The man spoke euphemistically and gave Jiang Zhan a sincere look.

Jiang Zhan, “…” ‘Even if you spoke euphemistically and look at me sincerely, I still feel like I’ve been looked down on.’

Jiang Zhan smacked his hand towards the sect member who had spoken. The latter hurriedly pulled his head back, successfully dodging the slap.

“Still dare to dodge! Come here!” Jiang Zhan pointed at him.

The sect member weakly stretched his head out and closed his eyes in resignation.

“What else can you do, besides bully them?” A melodious voice spoke from behind him.

Jiang Zhan’s hand stopped in mid-air. He turned around to look at the woman who had appeared behind him at some point, rage instantly filling his heart. “So what if I discipline my own people?! Huh?!”

Shi Sheng shook her head. ‘This idiot.’

“Is the road fixed yet? Seeing as you guys are gathered here chatting… You don’t want to eat meat anymore?”

Those people shot Jiang Zhan a gaze that said “good luck”, before grabbing their tools and running down the mountain.

“You— You—” ‘This lunatic is simply my nemesis!’

“Be a good, useless former Sect Master and don’t cause any trouble. Otherwise, I’ll mince you.” Shi Sheng made a throat-slitting gesture, a malicious smile on her face.

Jiang Zhan’s breathing quickened as his face reddened. ‘Is it my fault that I can’t beat this woman?! I don’t believe it!’

……

In the dark and gloomy night, the moon made for a cold crescent in the sky.

The woman on the bed appeared to be asleep, her chest barely rising and falling.

Jiang Zhan jumped in through the window and cautiously approached the bedside.

He checked to make sure that the person on the bed was sleeping deeply, before revealing a wicked grin.

He took a small paper pouch from his sleeve and opened it. A strong wind suddenly blew from the front towards him, causing the pouch to upturn its powdered contents all over his face.

He subconsciously shut his eyes. But the next second, he felt something off and retreated a few paces.

Crash!

He didn’t know if he’d knocked into a table or a cupboard. But whatever it was, he was stopped in his tracks. Not having felt any killing intent, he used his sleeves to scrub furiously at his face.

When his eyes could open once more, he saw that the woman on the bed had sat up at some point. The moonlight streaming in through the window reflected off a pair of cold, gleaming eyes that were really quite terrifying.

Jiang Zhan’s scalp tingled and his body froze. He gulped. ‘C’mon, I’m a demon that people fear, right? How could I be scared of a woman?’

The next day, when the Demon Sect members woke up, they found their former Sect Master hanging from a pillar that had been erected in an empty spot.
