Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 135 The Three Demonic Factions: Destruction and Reconstruction

Tu Junfang met Lü Qian's gaze, his tone calm, yet it contained an unwavering conviction.

"It is my own karma to say that I entered Quanxing Sect and was ruined for life, and I have also tarnished the reputation of my Three Demon Sect."

He shook his head, but there was no regret or remorse in his expression. This experience had become a thing of the past in his eyes, and his words and actions were calm and natural.

The past is the past. I have done what I have done, and that is all. There is nothing to regret.

"If we want to restore the honor of the Three Demon Sect and ensure that future generations are born with a righteous lineage, I, as the predecessor, must naturally cleanse myself of the filth, break down the old and establish the new, and reshape the Three Demon Sect's righteous origins."

Tu Junfang, who was the only remaining successor of the Three Demon Sect, joined the Quanxing Sect. Although this move was intended to continue the lineage, it was a devastating blow to the righteous reputation of the Three Demon Sect.

This move is no less than a sect leader directly betraying and defecting to the enemy. How will the world view the Three Demon Sects?

How should we view this lineage of Taoism that has been passed down for thousands of years?

If we cannot break down the old and rebuild the new, in the eyes of the world, the Three Demon Sects will be no different from the Quanxing Sect, and then how can we talk about restoring our heritage?

Lu Qian carried Lu Liang in one hand. He looked at Tu Junfang in front of him and saw the perseverance and determination hidden beneath his calm appearance.

"Fellow Daoist Tu, are you really sure?"

Joining the Quanxing sect is easy; all you have to do is openly declare yourself a member in front of others.

But it's difficult to leave Quanxing.

There are generally two paths: either quietly retire or openly and proudly welcome the witness of the public.

Judging from Tu Junfang's current stance, he is clearly going to take the second path, to become a new version of himself in front of everyone, and at the same time, to bring about a new beginning for the Three Demon Sect.

But this path is not easy. During the period witnessed by many, past grievances and debts will come knocking, and those who want to withdraw can only let others come to them without being able to fight back.

"This is, after all, the consequence of my actions, and I, as a sinner of the Three Demons Sect, should bear it."

Tu Junfang bowed to Lü Qian and said, "The Three Demonic Sects of the Daoist School have been silent for too long, so long that even I, their inheritor, have forgotten about them."

"But things will be different from now on. The Three Demon Sects will have successors, not my successors as the Three Corpses, nor the successors of Quanxing, but successors who belong only to the Three Demon Sects of Taoism."

He raised his head, a relaxed and natural smile on his face. "Moreover, this tribulation can also be considered my tribulation for attaining enlightenment."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of pure energy appeared around him, and three faint, ink-like streams of energy, resembling thin mist and smoke, floated out from his upper, middle, and lower dantian.

The light ink-colored clouds swirled and condensed around his body, gradually forming three indistinct shapes, which were Tu Junfang's three corpses.

The three corpses still resembled a wasp's stinger, a green bamboo snake's mouth, and a beautiful lady's body, but they were quite different from before.

The wasp, which had been wild and agitated with a sharp stinger, landed calmly on Tu Junfang's shoulder. Although its wings were still flapping, the annoying buzzing sound was gone.

The giant bamboo snake, originally with a long body, a huge mouth, and sharp fangs, transformed into a small snake about the length of an arm. It quietly flicked its tongue and coiled around Tu Junfang's arms, its eyes no longer showing their former ferocity.

The faceless beauty, who was originally naturally alluring and had a hot, naked body, no longer possessed her usual seductive charm. Although she was still naked, she exuded a calm and natural aura that brought peace to people's minds.

At this moment, the three corpses no longer had the previous dark and viscous texture, but resembled light ink and mist, real yet illusory.

Tu Junfang showed Lü Qian his three corpses, his smile becoming increasingly natural and humble. "I must thank Fellow Daoist Lü for allowing me to let go of my own obsessions. With my mind and spirit at ease, my three corpses are no longer a nuisance."

"Now I am clear-headed, but I still have one last hurdle to overcome before I can sever the three corpses."

He nodded. "The person I am today is the result of my past self."

"If I want to let go completely, I also need to end the past, embrace the present, and move towards a brand new future."

"Moreover, I came prepared this time."

Tu Junfang's smile suddenly turned somewhat cunning. "During the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, I will announce my withdrawal from the Quanxing Sect and welcome everyone to witness it at the Tianshi Mansion on Longhu Mountain."

"The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony brings together extraordinary people from all over the world. Such a scene is quite suitable for announcing the re-establishment of the Three Demon Sects."

Upon seeing this, Lü Qian raised an eyebrow, making some guesses about Tu Junfang's plan.

"Fellow Daoist Tu, it seems you have truly made thorough preparations."

Tu Junfang's meaning was clear: on the surface, accepting challenges from extraordinary people from all over the country at the Celestial Master's Mansion seemed like a desperate gamble, but in reality, there were many safeguards in place.

The first layer of protection is the Zhengyi Celestial Master's Mansion.

As a branch of Taoism, the Three Demons Sect suffered heavy losses a hundred years ago in an effort to save the country from disaster. Their path to heaven was severed, a truly tragic end.

As the leader of the Taoist sect, the Celestial Master's Mansion, with its venerable Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei being the most outstanding figure of his time, naturally had the standing and the power to protect Tu Junfang's life in front of the world, allowing him to withdraw from the Quanxing Sect peacefully.

The second layer of protection comes from Lü Qian, who hails from Wudang and now possesses the lineage of various Quanzhen schools.

As a branch of the Quanzhen School, the Three Demons Sect has the right to protect its survival, and it also has the strength to protect Tu Junfang.

It can be said that Tu Junfang had calculated everything, ensuring his own life and the inheritance of the Three Demon Sect, and had no worries at all. Only then did he dare to go all out and face the final tribulation of severing the three corpses.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Tu has great courage. I have received the favor of the Three Demon Sect, so I am naturally willing to do my best for the inheritance of the Three Demon Sect."

With a smile, Lü Qian tossed Lü Liang aside and gave Tu Junfang a Tai Chi-style hand salute.

The other side's schemes took self-preservation to the extreme. What a joke! How can the Three Demons Sect continue if they lose their lives?

Although I, Daoist Master, have great courage, it doesn't mean I don't value my life.

The path to immortality values ​​life; these are the words left by our ancestor.

Once it was confirmed that Tu Junfang hadn't acted on impulse and severed his brain by cutting off his three corpses, Lü Qian naturally supported him.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lü. I still need to go and see the Celestial Master to explain the situation."

Tu Junfang retrieved the three corpses, tidied his clothes and Taoist robes, and then resolutely walked up the mountain steps.

Tu Junfang walked steadily, step by step, his three-colored Taoist robe fluttering in the wind as he gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Lu Qian watched the other person leave, then looked at Lu Liang, who was half-dead at his feet, and his smile vanished.

"Look at other people, and then look at you, I don't even know what to say."

He grabbed Lü Liang by the back of his collar and dragged him towards the Lü family's camp.
