Chapter 299: Chapter 237: This Back Looks Sowhat Familiar_2
“`
“Liang, your thinking is still stuck in the past. Who dictated that the Demon Sect must be unorthodox? And who decided that the Demon Sect must kill and set fires, plunder and rob?”
While Jiang Cheng explained to Liang Lu, he didn’t forget to casually feed Snake.
At this mont, on the table, Yue Linger, Shen nghan, and Liang Lu had given up eating and were all ears.
But Liu Qing was different.
As long as Jiang Cheng was feeding, she took the opportunity to eat while the food was still warm, not wasting a single grain.
Snake didn’t care about any grand principles; she was a snake that sided with her kin over reason. Her thinking was simple: Jiang Cheng helps snake, snake helps Jiang Cheng.
Of course, there was another less important minor reason why Liu Qing didn’t listen to Jiang Cheng—she couldn’t understand.
Liang Lu could understand, but she didn’t get it, “No, if you don’t do evil deeds, how can you call yourselves the Demon Sect?”
Jiang Cheng said, “Who said we don’t do evil deeds? We do evil deeds, but do you know the na of our sect?”
Liang Lu glanced at the certificate, “Dayan Sect?”
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, “Correct. Do you know the origin of the word ‘Yan’?”
“I don’t know.”
“Yan, it ans to deceive! We deceive the Demon Sect, we deceive the Immortal Sect, we deceive the Heavenly Dao; false falsehoods and true realities. Isn’t that doing evil deeds? Doesn’t that qualify as the Demonic Tao?”
Hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Liang Lu felt her brain couldn’t handle it.
Although Yue Linger and Shen nghan had joined the Dayan Sect a long ti ago, they too were blank today.
Only Liu Qing remained consistent.
Because she used only her mouth throughout, and not her brain.
After a while, Liang Lu finally responded, “Then, is it possible that what you just said was also deceiving ?”
“There is that possibility.” After Jiang Cheng replied, he continued, “Look, I even deceived you; doesn’t that make us a true Demon Sect?”
Liang Lu turned pale, obviously in a state of brain hypoxia, fully focusing her blood supply.
Jiang Cheng stopped joking, “Okay, okay, I was just joking with you. Instead of caring about whether or not we deceive others, why don’t you take a look at our sect’s welfare asures?”
Liang Lu was skeptical, “This isn’t also a deception, is it?”
“It’s not, you’ve seen us making rubbings of Cultivation Technique; don’t you trust yourself?”
Liang Lu hesitated and asked the question she cared about most, “So, if I join the Dayan Sect, am I still an outsider?”
“Of course not,” Jiang Cheng imdiately replied.
“So, can I buy your Talismans to use?”
“Uh…” Jiang Cheng said with so difficulty, “Liang, you’ve already bought quite a few before, it’s only been a few days, why do you want to buy new ones again?”
“I used them up while sparring with a friend.”
Jiang Cheng didn’t understand, “What species is your friend? Weren’t the many Talismans I gave you enough?”
“What species…” Describing Lin Yao, Liang Lu said uncertainly, “She should be human, but the really formidable kind.”
Jiang Cheng was skeptical.
You should know that he had sold over a dozen types of Talismans to Liang Lu before, a dozen types, not just a dozen pieces. Unless Liang Lu was fighting the female lead of a ga, how could she not win?
“I can sell you new ones, but I have a condition.”
“What condition?”
Jiang Cheng took out a mory Sphere, “I want to record it; I want to see who you are really sparring with.”
“That’s easy.”
Liang Lu agreed without hesitation.
As long as Jiang Cheng was willing to sell her Talismans, everything else was a minor issue.
Every al has to end at so point.
Jiang Cheng was very happy because, after two months, the Dayan Sect finally welcod a new mber. Now there would be new free labor to use.
Liang Lu was also very happy; she got the new Talismans she wanted the most!
With the three Talismans Jiang Cheng gave her, she could at least ensure victory in three matches!
Lin Yao, nothing to fuss over.
Li Qingge rushed back with a team of reinforcents before Liang Lu and Jiang Cheng parted ways.
The matter of the Demon Sect’s Nascent Soul was handed over to the people of the Enforcent Hall to handle. She was mainly responsible for the “Princess’ Ascension to the Throne” plan and was concerned about Liang Lu’s romantic progress.
“Liang Lu, how’s it going with Jiang Cheng?”
“We got along quite well.”
Li Qingge was speechless, “We’re not here for a matchmaking session.”
“Oh,” Liang Lu replied absentmindedly.
Li Qingge sighed, “Never mind, let’s go back for now; this matter can’t be rushed.”

…
The next day, ard with the new talismans, Liang Lu calmly accepted Lin Yao’s invitation to a duel.
In front of the dueling platform, Liang Lu took the mory Sphere given to her by Jiang Cheng and handed it to Mo Ningdan.
“Teacher, please help record this,” she said.
Mo Ningdan agreed casually and placed Liang Lu’s mory Sphere beside her own.
Recording duels was standard practice. Both Mo Ningdan and Yan Yue would use mory Spheres to record duels, providing students with the opportunity to review and analyze their performance afterward.
Mo Ningdan thought Liang Lu wanted to record the duel for her own study and didn’t think much of it.
The old rivals t again, and this ti, Lin Yao also brought out talismans, seeming to have devised so new strategy.
As the command to start the duel was announced, Lin Yao and Liang Lu both, without any courtesy, imdiately activated the talismans in their hands.
Lin Yao’s talismans shone ever brighter, prompting Liang Lu to squint and exclaim in surprise, “Second-rank talismans?”
The talismans given to her by Jiang Cheng were all first-rank. Even with Jiang Cheng’s influence, Liang Lu was not sure if her first-rank talismans could defeat Lin Yao’s second-rank ones.
Liang Lu quietly reached into her pocket for two additional talismans.
If need be, she would use all three at once.
After all, there were no rules limiting the number of talismans in a duel.
“Air Stagnation!”
Lin Yao’s talisman struck first!
Soon, the air around Liang Lu beca stiff and sticky.
Liang Lu, affected by the talisman, found her movents difficult and even breathing beca a struggle.
This was the effect of a second-rank Control Talisman! Liang Lu thought.
After Lin Yao made her move, Liang Lu finally felt at ease releasing Jiang Cheng’s life-saving first-rank talisman!
The talisman transford into a green light and directly struck Lin Yao’s body.
Despite being hit by the talisman, Lin Yao felt no discomfort.
But with her extensive experience in being affected by talismans, she didn’t imdiately launch an attack on Liang Lu. She had suffered enough from vigorous movents before, like the last ti with the Motion Magnetization Talisman.
Lin Yao took a deep breath and cautiously walked towards Liang Lu.
Liang Lu, currently restrained by the second-rank Control Talisman, was unable to walk or run.
“The talismans today seem a bit useless,” Lin Yao said.
“Then why don’t you co over?” Liang Lu retorted, not giving in to Lin Yao verbally.
But Lin Yao didn’t fall for the simple provocation.
The Air Stagnation Talisman caused area control, and if she entered Liang Lu’s vicinity, she would be affected by the Air Stagnation as well, which would be counterproductive. She preferred waiting for the Air Stagnation Talisman to wear off before attacking Liang Lu for a decisive victory.
“If you don’t co over soon, it’ll be too late,” Liang Lu said with a smile.
This was the confidence Jiang Cheng gave her.
Lin Yao furrowed her brow: “What do you an?”
No sooner had Liang Lu finished speaking than Lin Yao started experiencing problems.
She walked unsteadily, her head felt heavy and drowsy, and even using a Purification Talisman did not help.
Unable to understand or resolve the situation, Lin Yao could only concede early.
Liang Lu thought to herself: This Overload Healing Talisman is pretty useful, indeed worthy of being one of Jiang Cheng’s life-saving talismans, making Lin Yao “intoxicated” with healing.
…
Since Liang Lu was already a disciple of the Dayan Sect, Jiang Cheng did not stand on ceremony with her and specifically arranged for her to take over Liu Qing’s shift.
Once Liu Qing finished work, it was Liang Lu’s turn to start her shift.
“Liang, we have already completed rubbings of most of the cultivation techniques in this room, so you probably won’t have to co many tis,” Jiang Cheng inford Liang Lu ahead of ti.
Having won the duel against Lin Yao, Liang Lu was in a particularly good mood.
“No problem. Oh, about the recording you asked for earlier, I’ve made it. Do you want to see it now?” she asked.
“Yes.”
Yue Linger, overhearing the conversation next door and seizing the opportunity to see sothing interesting, quickly joined them.
The three of them gathered around the small mory Sphere.
Liang Lu activated the mory Sphere, which displayed the scene of the dueling platform. In the foreground was the silhouette of a long-haired woman with a graceful figure, and in the distance was Liang Lu, ready for the duel.
Yue Linger looked forward to the start of the duel, mainly wanting to see Jiang Cheng’s talismans.
Jiang Cheng’s focus was not on Liang Lu or the talismans, but on the silhouette of Liang Lu’s opponent. He found the silhouette familiar, as if he had seen it sowhere before.
