Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 295 - 242: Taibai Phecda: Call Su Yuan! Call Su Yuan!

Ji Ming straightforwardly expressed his concerns.

Facing this question, Su Yuan smiled and said:

"Don't worry, everyone. I didn't gather you here to come up with solutions."

"I have long had a foolproof plan to solve these two problems; you just need to follow through step by step."

The three of them were taken aback.

"How exactly do we execute it?"

Wan Ningxiang asked.

Su Yuan had the three of them come closer and began detailing the plan.

...

In the highest-end cultivation room of Evil Extermination University City, Taibai Phecda finished a day of meditation.

He had reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage and had been calming his mind, seeking a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

But perhaps due to the incompatibility of his Heart Method, he always felt a translucent barrier between him and the Nascent Soul Stage, no matter how much he cultivated his Qi.

"That little opportunity I'm missing, where could it be?"

As he pondered, the phone beside him suddenly vibrated.

Upon checking, he found that three accounts that had never contacted him simultaneously sent him messages.

Glancing at the notes for these three contacts, Taibai Phecda was shocked.

Not caring that he was in seclusion, he immediately headed to the address the three had sent.

In a pavilion within the University City.

When Taibai Phecda hurriedly arrived on his flying sword, three figures were already seated in the pavilion.

Seeing these familiar yet estranged figures, Taibai Phecda felt a surge of excitement and a hint of guilt, and for a moment, he felt a strange sense of trepidation at being so close to home.

But ultimately, he quickly composed himself and approached with quick steps.

"Young Master Ji, Miss Wan, and Sect Leader Huang, you finally agreed to meet me."

Taibai Phecda spoke in the warmest tone possible:

"The sect's bankruptcy indeed was related to my fate, but I absolutely did not do it intentionally."

"I've always wanted to make amends to the three of you. If you've thought it through, feel free to ask whatever you need from me."

"As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost to fulfill it."

However, Taibai Phecda's sincere apology did not receive a friendly response from the three.

Ji Ming said coldly:

"Save your pretentious face!"

"You, Sword Demon, keep a righteous facade in public, yet who knows how many plans to completely eradicate our three sects' remnants you've schemed in secret!"

Taibai Phecda: "???"

No, when did I ever plan such a thing?

Eradicate the three sects' remnants? I'm not even done making amends!

Plus, for the past few years, I've been trying to reach out to you all, but you've always avoided and even actively eluded me.

What exactly did I do that made you think I planned to eradicate the remnants of the three sects?

Taibai Phecda felt utterly wronged.

Before he could inquire more, Wan Ningxiang softly coughed from the side, cutting off the conversation.

Wan Ningxiang said coldly:

"Master Taibai, recently the heirs of our three sects have formally united, sharing technology and resources."

"We didn't do this for revenge but to collaborate on a business venture to restore our sects."

"This time, we sought you not for anything else but to ask you to facilitate an investment from the Evil Extermination Sword Sect in our joint development of new technology and to ensure its approval by relevant departments."

"As long as you agree to this request, then the grudges between the three sects and you will be written off."

Wan Ningxiang spoke unceremoniously, but Taibai Phecda breathed a sigh of relief inside.

So they're looking for a backdoor, huh.

Alright, if they had remained unyielding, my conscience would have been troubled.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this conscience that I have been unable to break through the barrier in my realm?

With this thought, Taibai Phecda took the matter even more seriously.

However, he was a man of principles and bottom lines.

If the technology handed to him by Ji Ming and the others meets or comes close to the investment standards of the Evil Extermination Sword Sect, then everything is negotiable.

But if it falls short by a significant margin, he would be powerless.

So Taibai Phecda did not immediately agree but took the technology drawings handed by Wan Ningxiang and began to carefully examine them.

After looking through them, Taibai Phecda was surprised and said:

"This is Demon Skill, isn't it?"

Ji Ming's face slightly twitched, but he had to brace himself and say:

"To reduce costs and increase efficiency for quick profits, we three sects don't mind being labeled as a Demon Sect."

Out of guilt towards the three sects, Taibai Phecda didn't question further and continued reading.

The more he looked, the more he felt that this self-suction flying sword engine had great potential.

Even without his connections, it had a high chance of securing investment directly from Evil Extermination University.

However, when he turned to see the Rune blueprint of the "Fury Heart Attack" Demon Talisman, his brows furrowed.

This rune... where had he seen it before? It looked so familiar.

Not only this rune, but the entire design of the self-suction spiritual energy engine carried a deeply familiar style.

Almost like the style of his direct disciple, Su Yuan!

"Could this engine technology be created by Su Yuan?"

This thought suddenly popped into Taibai Phecda's mind.

But he quickly shook his head.

Impossible, Su Yuan had only been in Ten Immortals City for a few days. How could he have made contact with the three sects and gained their recognition?

Perhaps it was just a coincidence.

However, out of caution, he checked which sect this technology belonged to.

It was Chaotic Sword Hall and not other chaotic or evil organizations like the Primordial Sect.

Taibai Phecda felt slightly relieved and quickly pushed down the odd thought, smiling:

"This engine technology is very innovative, and the production cost is low, with great potential for mass production."

"I will personally communicate with the approval department to get the technology approved."

"Meanwhile, I'll have the investment department of Evil Extermination Sword Sect inject capital into your new sect, making it a subsidiary sect of Evil Extermination Sword Sect."

Seeing Taibai Phecda agree so straightforwardly, Ji Ming and the other two exchanged glances, relieved.

They took back the technology drawings from Taibai Phecda's hands and prepared to leave.

Watching their departing figures, Taibai Phecda's eyes subtly flickered; he suddenly asked:

"Su Yuan didn't threaten you, did he?"

"No..."

Ji Ming instinctively replied.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he hastily covered his mouth.

He, Wan Ningxiang, and Huang Yunzhou visibly grew tense.

Taibai Phecda: "..."

Originally, he had asked the question casually, but seeing their reactions, his eyes gradually widened.

No way... could these three really be backing Su Yuan?!

If someone said that these three weren't threatened by Su Yuan but came to him voluntarily, Taibai Phecda wouldn't believe it at all.

He could almost imagine what Su Yuan had done to Ji Ming and the others.

Probably nothing but all kinds of threats and coercion, forcing Ji Ming and the others to submit, thus swallowing the remaining assets of Chaotic Sword Hall, Juque Sect, and Imperial Sword Sect!

No wonder this engine technology was demonic, no wonder there was a rune that looked so familiar!

It was all the good work of that little brat, Su Yuan!

Taibai Phecda felt a tingling sensation in his scalp.

He dared not imagine what would happen if news got out about Su Yuan engulfing the three sects; how would the world see him then?

A master who ruined his home, a disciple who eradicated sects.

What kind of disastrous master-disciple combination is this?

If this message got out, could he, Taibai Phecda, still stand in the Righteous Dao?

He might get slapped with a "Demon" label, fixed forever on the Sword Cultivator's pillar of shame!

Su Yuan had only disappeared from his sight for a few days!

Not even a week, and he had already caused such a scene for him?

Having such a disciple, what a blessing for him!

Seeing Taibai Phecda remain silent, Ji Ming and the others became somewhat flustered.

Huang Yunzhou cautiously said:

"Master Taibai, although Su Yuan did initially force us, we were later attracted by the prospects of the Primordial Sect's development and joined voluntarily."

Great, these victims have been brainwashed into speaking for Su Yuan voluntarily.

Taibai Phecda angrily said:

"Bring Su Yuan here! Bring Su Yuan here!"

Under the uncontrollable rage, even Taibai Phecda himself did not notice that the barrier that had blocked his realm for so long was suddenly torn apart by his fury!
