Chapter 420 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (30) (1/2)

After a month into the siege, Shi Sheng woke up one morning to the sounds of excitement among the Demon Sect members.

“Sect Master, Sect Master, are you awake?” Ting Feng banged the door.

Shi Sheng opened it. “What?” ‘Can’t you just let me sleep? It’s still early…’

“They’re fighting amongst themselves! Sect Master, wanna take a look?” Ting Feng had an excited expression on.

Shi Sheng frowned. ‘Fighting amongst themselves?’

“Come on, come on!” Ting Feng had grown much bolder—he now dared to pull Shi Sheng along.

The little puppy scampered out from the house and unsteadily followed Shi Sheng, but had to stop at the stairs leading down the mountain. They were too tall for it to descend on its own.

When Shi Sheng passed by the mountain gate, she looked up and received a fright from suddenly seeing the human figure standing on top of it.

“Did Gu Yu move house?” ‘Wasn’t he always on rooftops? Yet now he’s changed to absorbing natural energies on the mountain gate?’

Ting Feng followed her gaze. His eyes rolled as he thought. “Because it gives a view of what’s happening below.”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘So, why not just come down to watch then?’

More than half of the Demon Sect were gathered at the bottom of the mountain.

When Shi Sheng came down, they immediately wisely cleared out the best viewing spot for her.

The people in the distance were separated into three distinct groups.

Shen Xingyang and Shen Xinghai led one, Village Head Zhong led another, while the last one was led by someone Shi Sheng was unfamiliar with. Bai-fu wasn’t present.

The three sides faced off against each other. The atmosphere seemed rather tense.

“When did Shen Xinghai arrive?”

“Last night.” Er Gou Zi immediately replied. “I heard he discussed the matter of the kidnapped girls with Shen Xingyang last night. Then this morning, Shen Xingyang and Zhong Han started arguing. Shen Xinghai accused Zhong Han of being the mastermind behind the kidnappings. They’ve already fought once just now…”

‘Zhong Han was that Jadewater Village Head, who was looking to get something from me. If he’s the mastermind behind the kidnappings, does that mean he was planning on kidnapping me(bbb)?’

“Why is Zhong Weiwei over there?” Shi Sheng suddenly pointed at a red figure in the crowd.

‘Zhong Weiwei… Zhong Han? Don’t tell me they’re father and daughter?’

“She went over earlier. We didn’t manage to stop her.” Ting Feng replied.

Because of the distance, Shi Sheng couldn’t hear what they were saying, so she left the safe area to get closer to them.

“Eh? Sect Master…” ‘Why’re you going out?’

Ting Feng hesitated for a moment before running after her.

Since their Sect Master and Sentinel had both left, the other Demon Sect members couldn’t help but follow along.

Hence it became a scene where Shi Sheng led a bunch of people over to them in what could be perceived as an aggressive manner.

The opposing party had also noticed Shi Sheng heading towards them, so they all turned to look at her.

“Witch Wu Zheng! Stop there!”

“If I stopped when you told me to, where would I put my face?” Shi Sheng sneered. She continued walking for about another ten metres before stopping.

Everyone, “…” ‘So you have face if you walk a few more steps?’

“Opening a conference this early? Mind if I watch?” Shi Sheng smilingly looked at Shen Xinghai.

He nodded to her slightly. “Ms Wu Zheng, do what you wish.”

“Shen Xinghai!” Zhong Han shouted. “Are you planning on being in cahoots with the Demon Sect?!”

Shen Xinghai gave him a neutral look. “Village Head Zhong, Ms Wu Zheng is just here to watch. As it happens, she can also bear witness.”

Zhong Han’s reaction was a bit agitated. “She’s the Demon Sect’s Sect Master! How can she bear witness? Shen Xinghai, have you long been in cahoots with the Demon Sect?!”

Shi Sheng harrumphed. “Why can’t I bear witness?”
