I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds
Chapter 58: The Truth Mirror

The Demonic Shadow Sect had captured countless people from prestigious sects.

Among them, five out of ten would rather die than submit, enduring torture and dying with curses on their lips.

Even the people of the Demonic Shadow Sect couldn't help but admire them.

Three would eventually crack under torture, revealing some trivial information, but they would take the sect's top secrets to their graves.

The remaining two, lacking strong willpower, might spill everything, but such individuals were usually of low rank and had little valuable information to offer.

They had seen tough guys, those who couldn't hold out, and even traitors...

But they had never encountered someone like Chu Xinghe, who confessed everything in a second before any torture or interrogation even began...

If you said Chu Xinghe was a nobody, that would be one thing.

But damn it, aren't you the number one of the younger generation?

Do you have any integrity left?

Could you at least put up some resistance? We haven't even asked anything yet, and you've already sold out the sect completely. Do you still consider yourself human?

Many disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect felt that compared to the despicable and shameless Chu Xinghe in front of them, they seemed much more righteous.

"You... aspire to join the Demonic Sect?" Meng Yong was full of questions.

"Absolutely, joining the Demonic Sect and destroying the Grand Sky Sect is my lifelong dream!" Chu Xinghe declared with determination.

"Wait... wait... are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain!"

Meng Yong: "..."

Meng Yong had prepared many methods and questions today.

He was even ready for Chu Xinghe to remain silent until death, but now... he was confused, unsure of how to handle the cooperative Chu Xinghe before him.

Because he had never encountered someone so cooperative in his life.

"Lock him up first! Let me verify if what he handed over has any issues."

Under Meng Yong's orders, the disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect imprisoned Chu Xinghe in a cell and assigned guards to watch him, in case Chu Xinghe had any schemes.

But Meng Yong was troubled by the items Chu Xinghe had handed over.

"Sir, they have been appraised, and all the spirit stones are genuine, and this stone pointing divine technique is priceless."

Soon, his subordinates brought the news.

In fact, even without the report, Meng Yong knew there was no problem with what Chu Xinghe had handed over.

These things were right in front of them; how could there be any issues?

"Xu Zhi, what do you think Chu Xinghe is up to?" Meng Yong asked his advisor, Xu Zhi.

"Hard to say. This kid holds an extraordinary position in the Grand Sky Sect. I've never seen such spirit stones in my life... and that stone pointing technique is remarkable... I suspect he's trying to temporarily appease us, with some ulterior motive."

"Haha... he talks about dreaming of joining the Demonic Sect, what nonsense!" Meng Yong scoffed.

"Sir, I've heard this kid has learned the Grand Sky Battle Intent from the Grand Sky Sect. You could use that as a breakthrough point. Didn't he say he wanted to join the Demonic Sect?"

"Make him hand over the Grand Sky Battle Intent. If he refuses, hehe..." As Xu Zhi spoke, Meng Yong's eyes lit up.

Without further ado, he took Xu Zhi with him to the basement.

"Greetings, Demon Lord!"

"Ahem... good... good... Chu Xinghe, you say you want to join the Demonic Sect? You want to destroy the Grand Sky Sect?"

"Absolutely!"

"Very well, I've heard you've learned the Grand Sky Battle Intent from the Grand Sky Sect. Since you want to join the Demonic Sect, why not use the Grand Sky Battle Intent as your token of loyalty?"

Meng Yong finished speaking, looking at Chu Xinghe with a sinister smile.

Go on, keep pretending, kid!

Those spirit stones and the stone pointing divine technique, while valuable, are nothing compared to your worth, Chu Xinghe.

You might have handed those over to save your life, and the Grand Sky Sect wouldn't blame you.

But the Grand Sky Battle Intent is different; it's the top secret of the Grand Sky Sect!

Let's see how you keep up the act!

But just as Meng Yong was expecting Chu Xinghe to reveal his true colors at the demand for a token of loyalty, Chu Xinghe burst into laughter!

Damn!

Truly worthy of being the Demon Lord!

I admire you!

While locked up here, Chu Xinghe had been pondering how to betray the sect to cause the greatest damage.

Despite his extraordinary status and knowledge of many secrets, revealing everything might not cause a massive loss.

So he was troubled, and now it was like someone had handed him a pillow when he was sleepy!

The Grand Sky Battle Intent!

Yes! What better way to betray the sect than to publicize the Grand Sky Battle Intent?

Being captured by the Demonic Sect and having the Demon Lord forcibly extract the Grand Sky Battle Intent from him with demonic techniques seemed reasonable.

The Grand Sky Battle Intent is the sect's ultimate skill, even elders aren't qualified to learn it. If it's made public, how could the Grand Sky Sect recover from this blow?

"Demon Lord, I'll tell you the Grand Sky Battle Intent right now!"

Meng Yong: "???"

Xu Zhi: "???"

Both were dumbfounded. What trick was Chu Xinghe playing?

Then Chu Xinghe, following Gu Mingchao's teachings, recited the Grand Sky Battle Intent to Meng Yong word for word, even mentioning the precautions Gu Mingchao had advised him on.

And then... Meng Yong was completely stunned.

Can someone explain to me what's going on here?

Could the Grand Sky Battle Intent be fake?

Meng Yong was sure it was fake!

"Chu Xinghe, calm down. Let me verify the authenticity of this Grand Sky Battle Intent first."

"Demon Lord, please verify quickly. If you're unsure, report it directly to the sect, or better yet, spread it around. Damn the Grand Sky Sect, publish the Grand Sky Battle Intent, and let's see how they survive this!"

Xu Zhi was dumbfounded... he felt Chu Xinghe hated the Grand Sky Sect more than he did...

Meng Yong and Xu Zhi left the basement.

Before leaving, Xu Zhi made arrangements.

"Don't be too vigilant tonight, give this kid a chance to escape, understood..."

"Huh?" The disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect were confused.

"Follow my instructions." Xu Zhi ordered, and the disciples complied.

"You want to see if this kid tries to escape?" Meng Yong, of course, understood the advisor's intentions.

"Hehe... I suspect the Grand Sky Battle Intent is fake, and this kid will definitely try to escape at night. Let's see how he keeps up the act then."

Meng Yong gave Xu Zhi a thumbs up, then went off to study whether the Grand Sky Battle Intent was real or fake.

At night, the disciples in the cell, following Xu Zhi's instructions, deliberately left the cell door unlocked, and even drank a bit, appearing drunk, giving Chu Xinghe an opportunity.

"Hey, brother! Your cell door isn't locked! Also, never drink while guarding prisoners; what if they escape? Look, I'll lock the cell door for you... this way, I can't escape!"

Demonic Sect disciple: "???"

Xu Zhi, hiding in the shadows: "???"

Then Xu Zhi witnessed something unbelievable...

Chu Xinghe insisted on persuading the disciples to sober up and even suggested getting more people to watch him!

Don't give him any chance to escape!

Escape? What a joke!

I finally got in here, and I've found a continuous opportunity to betray the sect. Now you want me to escape?

No way!

Then Xu Zhi waited all night, and not only did Chu Xinghe not escape, he slept soundly...

At dawn, Xu Zhi rubbed his head full of questions, beginning to doubt what Chu Xinghe was up to.

But before Xu Zhi could figure it out, a terrifying wave of energy suddenly came from afar.

It was where Meng Yong was, and Xu Zhi rushed over.

Soon, he heard Meng Yong's wild laughter from inside!

"Hahahaha... Grand Sky Battle Intent! It's the real Grand Sky Battle Intent! I've broken through!"

Meng Yong flew into the air, and Xu Zhi, seeing the imposing Meng Yong, was also in disbelief.

He broke through!

The Demon Lord actually broke through... stepping from the Seventh Grade to the Eighth Grade, becoming a Demon Sovereign?

Then... the Grand Sky Battle Intent Chu Xinghe provided... is real?

Meng Yong descended from the sky, his Eighth Grade aura dominating the scene.

"Congratulations, Demon Sovereign!"

Countless disciples of the Demonic Shadow Sect knelt in congratulations.

"Rise!" Meng Yong waved his hand, lifting everyone up.

"Demon Sovereign, that Grand Sky Battle Intent..."

"It's real!" Meng Yong was now extremely confident. He had thought Chu Xinghe would provide a fake Grand Sky Battle Intent, but after practicing it, he found no flaws, breaking through a long-standing bottleneck overnight.

It truly was the Grand Sky Sect's ultimate skill!

But thinking about it, Meng Yong was speechless again...

Why? Why on earth?

Chu Xinghe even revealed the Grand Sky Battle Intent... what does this mean?

Could it be that what he said was true? That he really dreams of joining the Demonic Sect?

Though it seemed unbelievable, having revealed the Grand Sky Battle Intent, it would be too much to say he was pretending, wouldn't it?

Spirit stones and the stone pointing divine technique were one thing; the Grand Sky Sect could afford the loss, but the Grand Sky Battle Intent?

This was the Grand Sky Battle Intent; could the Grand Sky Sect afford such a loss?

For a moment, Meng Yong was lost in thought, and Xu Zhi was also deep in thought.

Meng Yong learned that Xu Zhi had watched all night, and not only did Chu Xinghe not escape, he even urged the guards to keep a close eye on him...

After learning this, Meng Yong was even more contemplative...

"Xu Zhi... do you think this kid might really..."

"Absolutely not!" Xu Zhi gritted his teeth!

Impossible? There couldn't possibly be such an absurd situation; Chu Xinghe must have a scheme! Absolutely!

"But he even handed over the Grand Sky Battle Intent... this..." Meng Yong didn't know what to say.

"Demon Sovereign, in my opinion, this kid must have a scheme, and what he said is definitely a lie. To uncover the truth, I have a method."

"What method?"

"The Truth Mirror! Didn't this kid say he wants to join the Demonic Sect? Whether he's telling the truth or lying, the Truth Mirror will reveal it!"

The Truth Mirror, as Xu Zhi mentioned, was one of Demon Sovereign Meng Yong's treasures, capable of discerning truth from lies. If someone lied, they couldn't hide from the Truth Mirror.

Hearing Xu Zhi's suggestion, Meng Yong nodded.

Indeed!

The Truth Mirror! With the Truth Mirror, let's see how Chu Xinghe's lies can hide!

The two exchanged a glance, then headed together towards the dungeon...
