I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds
Chapter 163: You're clearly trying to deceive me!

Although the Demonic Sect gave a two-week deadline, the Sect had already prepared everything in advance.

After a discussion among a group of Elders, it was decided to focus the main force on the Sun's territory, while the Taiyin territory was naturally entrusted to Chu Xinghe.

Sect Master Gu Mingchao approached him with a serious expression, saying, "Xinghe, don't think about defending Taiyin. If the Demonic Sect launches a major attack, crush the Flute of Time and Space immediately and bring everyone back to the Sect. Safety first."

Chu Xinghe responded with equal seriousness, "Rest assured, Sect Master. If the Demonic Sect shows up, I'll crush the Flute of Time and Space and retreat with everyone immediately."

Just kidding... that's the main force of the Demonic Sect. Given my previous friendly relations with them, if their main force catches me, Tantai Jing might just build a new undead formation for me, making me the sole knight within it.

Besides, even if I, Chu Xinghe, am not afraid of death, a person detached from lowly interests, there are still many fellow disciples in Taiyin territory. For their safety, we must retreat at the first sign of danger, right?

What? You're asking about the treasures in Taiyin territory?

You should ask Elder He about that. It was his plan. I, Chu Xinghe, swear to the heavens that if the Sect suffers any losses this time, it has nothing to do with me.

I'm just following Elder He's plan.

While the Sect was preparing various matters, Chu Xinghe took the time to visit the Artifact Refining Palace.

Feng Yuzheng maintained his perfect record of destruction, even making the former "Explosion King" Ouyang Ming frown at his speed of destruction.

"Hmph! Little Ouyang Ming, the few Spirit Weapons you've crafted in these days aren't enough for Junior Brother Yuzheng to mess with."

Initially, Chu Xinghe considered whether to take Feng Yuzheng to Taiyin territory.

After all, without keeping an eye on Feng Yuzheng, Chu Xinghe felt uneasy.

But after thinking it over, Chu Xinghe realized that taking Feng Yuzheng might be even more worrisome.

Imagine if the Demonic Sect's army arrived in Taiyin territory.

Seeing the Demonic Sect, I'd activate the Flute of Time and Space and order a full retreat!

Then, when everyone safely returned to the Sect and was relieved, Junior Brother Yuzheng might jump out with a Space Ring and say, "Senior Brother Xinghe, look... I didn't let you down. I took all the resources from Taiyin territory before leaving..."

Just imagining that scene is terrifying, isn't it?

So, Feng Yuzheng absolutely cannot be taken along.

Chu Xinghe instructed Feng Yuzheng to focus on... ahem... diligently studying the Divine Engraving Technique, promising to check on him after completing his tasks.

Feng Yuzheng, with a serious expression, assured, "Senior Brother Xinghe, rest assured. With your previous guidance, I now have a clearer goal."

Not daring to ask Feng Yuzheng about his specific goals, the Sect had already prepared everything.

Sect Master Gu Mingchao personally declined the Great Elder's offer to activate the teleportation array, stating that such a significant task must be done by him personally.

From the Sect Master's calm expression, Chu Xinghe could tell that the Sect Master had some understanding of the Great Elder's abilities with the teleportation array.

If the Great Elder were to activate it, who could guarantee it wouldn't teleport to some strange place?

The Sect Master's teleportation array was reliable. Accompanied by the white light of teleportation, all the Sect's experts appeared in Taiyin territory.

Taiyin and Sun territories were in the east and west, respectively. The Sect Master's plan was comprehensive, as no one could guarantee that no one in the Sect would leak information. Bringing everyone to Taiyin territory first was a way to mislead.

After sealing off Taiyin territory and creating the illusion that all the Sect's experts were there, the Sect Master quietly led everyone to the Sun territory for the next ambush.

Taiyin territory was entirely handed over to Chu Xinghe. From the moment the Sect Master left, everything in Taiyin territory was under his command.

For safety, the Sect Master left two Martial Sovereign-level Deacons. In case of trouble, their presence could at least buy Chu Xinghe some time.

Everything proceeded smoothly, and Chu Xinghe's task was simple: be lazy in Taiyin territory.

What else could he do?

Facing the main force of the Demonic Sect, what could possibly be effective?

So, Chu Xinghe strolled around Taiyin territory daily, occasionally watching the Blood Soul Ancestor's lower half perform leg exercises.

Occasionally, as instructed by Elder He, he would make a public appearance to ensure any potential Demonic spies could accurately locate him.

Compared to Chu Xinghe's calmness, the other disciples in Taiyin territory were somewhat uneasy.

"It seems the Sect Master and others have left Taiyin territory... Are they abandoning it?"

"Nonsense! Junior Brother Xinghe is still here. How could the Sect abandon Taiyin territory?"

"Exactly, if the Sect were truly abandoning Taiyin territory, they'd take all the resources, right? Even to mislead the Demonic Sect, they wouldn't leave Junior Brother Xinghe here, would they? What if something happened to him? How could the Sect bear that?"

"Right, I think the Sect's actions are intentional. The Sect Master seems to have left with many Elders, but it's to mislead the Demonic Sect into thinking they've gone to defend the Sun territory. In reality, the Sect Master and Elders are likely hiding in Taiyin territory..."

"I agree with this theory. Look at Senior Brother Xinghe, always cheerful. He seems confident, so it must be true..."

The disciples defending Taiyin territory nodded in agreement, convinced there was a hidden danger in Taiyin territory based on Junior Brother Xinghe's demeanor.

Not only did the Grand Sky Sect's disciples speculate this way, but the Demonic Sect's spies also continuously reported back to the Demonic Sect.

When Gu Mingchao and others initially arrived in Taiyin territory, the Demonic Sect believed the Grand Sky Sect's main force was there. However, as time passed without Gu Mingchao's appearance, rumors spread that the main force had moved to the Sun territory.

But seeing Chu Xinghe's calm presence in Taiyin territory, the spies had an epiphany!

This was definitely a scheme by the Grand Sky Sect. Look... Chu Xinghe is still in Taiyin territory.

Everyone knew Chu Xinghe's importance to the Grand Sky Sect. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that capturing Chu Xinghe and using him to threaten the Grand Sky Sect would make them hand over both the Taiyin and Sun treasuries for his safety.

So, the idea that the Grand Sky Sect's main force went to the Sun territory?

That's nonsense, a smokescreen deliberately released by the Grand Sky Sect. With Chu Xinghe in Taiyin territory, the main force must be hidden there!

The news reached the Demonic Sect, and Wu Xingyun and a group of Demonic experts analyzed it secretly.

Was it Taiyin or Sun?

Chu Xinghe was in Taiyin, but rumors said the Grand Sky Sect's main force was in Sun. Wu Xingyun was indecisive.

"Sect Master, let me go personally!"

The group looked at Tantai Jing, who stepped forward. Despite his peculiar interests, Tantai Jing's ghostly techniques were undeniably impressive.

His ghostly techniques were perfect for gathering intelligence and infiltrating dangerous places, so sending Tantai was a sound decision.

At night, Tantai Jing transformed into a wisp of ghostly spirit, silently appearing beneath the walls of Taiyin territory. Just as he arrived, he saw Chu Xinghe on the wall, leading the lower half of the Blood Soul Ancestor with a rope, taking it for a walk.

Seeing this, Tantai Jing almost exploded with anger!

Xinghe, you scoundrel! This is an insult to our Demonic Sect, humiliating our Blood Soul Ancestor like this!

But Tantai Jing held back his anger, remembering his mission to uncover Xinghe's plot.

Chu Xinghe, unaware of Tantai Jing hiding below, continued his walk with the Blood Soul Ancestor's lower half.

After a few steps, a nervous junior brother asked, "Senior Brother Xinghe, may I boldly ask if our Sect's main force has gone to the Sun territory?"

Hearing this, the other disciples also looked at Chu Xinghe.

Not everyone could remain as composed as Senior Brother Xinghe; they were genuinely anxious.

Facing the question, Chu Xinghe sighed, glanced around to ensure no Demonic spies were present, and replied sincerely, "Yes, the Sect's main force is indeed in the Sun territory!"

His words caused the disciples' faces to change dramatically!

But before they could react, Chu Xinghe continued, "Brothers, you should trust me, Chu Xinghe. There's no need to worry excessively. I promise to ensure everyone's safety, no matter what happens!"

The disciples, who were almost scared to death, felt somewhat reassured by Senior Brother Xinghe's words.

After all, Senior Brother Xinghe was known for his virtue; he wouldn't let them take risks... Besides, with him here, what was there to fear?

After comforting the disciples, Chu Xinghe left the wall.

Tantai Jing, hiding below, was bewildered.

What was that? The main force is in the Sun territory?

Hmph! Chu Xinghe, you despicable man, do you think I'd believe your lies?

I've been fooled by you many times before, and I've learned my lesson.

You must have sensed my presence, and your words weren't for the disciples but for me, Tantai Jing.

The main force went to the Sun territory... I don't believe you at all.

Would the Grand Sky Sect abandon you, Chu Xinghe, and head to the Sun territory? Do you believe that yourself?

And Xinghe, your biggest flaw is claiming to ensure everyone's safety!

Hmph! Our Demonic Sect has deployed its main force this time. How could you, Chu Xinghe, guarantee safety against our numerous experts?

Your words are a blatant giveaway... You're clearly trying to deceive me!

Xinghe, you think you've acted well, but everything is within my calculations...
