Chapter 543: Establishing the Sect
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_
The moon was shining brightly in the sky . Tu Xiaobai was standing atop a boulder on a hillside where the grass had grown to be as tall as a man's waist . Being in a transport of joy, she was showing off a set of three flying swords which she had just been given . Three beams of purple light gently wheeled and danced around her . They glinted dazzlingly, and were sending forth a gust of cold breeze that attracted shocking cries whenever they took another spin around the hillside .
Every now and then, the rabbit demon would make the flying swords fly as close to the ground as possible . The sharp sword beams would then cut through the blades of grasses and send them flying in all directions . After that, she would giggle and control the sword beams to brush past the heads of over three hundred little demons who stood sparsely on the hillside .
Among the three hundred little demons, there was a hedgehog, raccoon, weasel, and some other four-footed demons . There were also sparrows, magpies, cuckoos, canaries, and some other bird demons . And, there were carps, grass carps, mudfishes, eels, and some other aquatic demons . Besides them, there were many other demons who Wu Qi could not identify .
The most eye-catching demon was an ape demon . He was plump and sturdy, with fat all over his body, who must have weighed one thousand five hundred kilograms at the very least . Usually, an ape would give the impression of nimbleness and agility, quick in action . However, this absurdly fat ape did not even have the strength to stand straight on his feet . Instead, he was squatting on the ground and puffing heavily with his eyes opened wide and staring at the three purple beams that flew over his head . Slobber filled his mouth .
After making the three sword beams dance and wheel about for some time, Tu Xiaobai shook her body . Immediately, an exquisite armor crafted perfectly according to her stature appeared on her body . It was pure white in color, with a soft luster on its surface that made it look like it was crafted from crystals . The half-translucent armor was interwoven with countless thumb-sized scales, which covered every part of her body . Even her two long ears were protected by two specially made jackets .
While giggling, she controlled one of the sword beams and stabbed it in her chest .
Amidst the terrifying cries of several hundred little demons, a strong white light erupted from the armor she was clad in . In the next moment, the sword beam ran into the white light with a crisp 'crack' . The armor was intact, but the sword beam was knocked tumbling back for hundreds of feet .
Laughing complacently and wagging her head, Tu Xiaobai said, "My brothers and sisters, do not be afraid! I, Tu Xiaobai, oh right, this is the name my Ancestral Master has given me . It is a good name, as my true form is a rabbit with fur white as snow, Xiaobai (little white) matched perfectly with me! Haha!"
After uttering some nonsense, under the envious glances of several hundred little demons, Tu Xiaobai roared with laughter and said, "Do not be afraid! I, Tu Xiaobai, will never kill myself! Haha, this armor is an upper-grade magical treasure which my Master has specially crafted for me . Yes, you heard it right, it is an upper-grade magical treasure!"
"Wow!" An uproar erupted as the eyes of all little demons turned green . An upper-grade magical treasure? They had heard of such name before, but none of them had owned even one single lower-grade magical item, let alone an upper-grade magical treasure . They only knew that it was an incredible treasure, but they had never seen it with their own eyes .
In their knowledge, this Tu Xiaobai had been a timid rabbit demon who lived in a condition poorer than any of them here . But, how did she managed to suddenly obtain such a strong armor, which was an upper-grade magical treasure? Also, it seemed that her three flying swords were not some ordinary treasures . No matter whether it was their luster, their brightness, and the cold breeze they sent forth when piercing through the air, those were the signs that the three flying swords were some powerful magical treasures as well!
As if to prove them right, Tu Xiaobai pointed one finger at the three purple sword beams and said with a smile, "The three flying swords you are seeing here are the weapons which my Sect's Ancestral Master has crafted for me! Aye, they too are upper-grade magical treasures . Haha!"
An uproar of cries rang out again, and the eyes of all the little demons had turned even more green . Two sets of upper-grade magical treasures! They could not help but wonder how did this rabbit demon suddenly strike a fortune like this?
"Bunny, which tall branch have you climbed up to? Who is that Ancestral Master you keep mentioning?" Asked the fat ape who was squatting among the demons .
Tu Xiaobai chuckled and beamed . As she was about to speak, Wu Qi had already shot up to the sky from a mountain off in a far distance, and traversed hundreds of miles with just a single step, arriving right next to her . He was clad in a long black robe, his hair hanging loosely with their ends touching his shoulder, and his hands clasped behind his back . With a stern look in his eyes, he slowly glanced across the many little demons who stood around the boulder . Everything about these little demons was made clear through his Chaotic Divine Eyes .
'Good, they are all good!' Wu Qi glanced through them with satisfaction . The true forms of these little demons were frail creatures who existed at the bottom of the food chain . Since they were able to cultivate and become demons, it meant that all of them had pretty decent latent potential . Also, as they were able to survive in the cruel world of cultivators, able to escape from the hunting and suppression from the Mi Province's officials, it proved that they were tough and quick-witted .
By taking little demons such as these as apprentices and gaining their loyalty with kindness when they were still weak, in the future, the Underhand Sect would have a batch of capable apprentices who could be trusted . Those cultivators who Wu Qi had subdued in the Dark Abyss were seasoned enough to develop their own mindset, and as he had subdued them with violence and threats, he would certainly have to abandon them in the future .
