The Sect Master Xue Doesn’t Sell Himself

Sect Master Xue Qianshao of Tai Kun Mountain visits the demon city of Qi Ye with the intention of negotiating compensation for past conflicts with the Demon Venerable Hui Xing. To facilitate the talks, both sides agree to a temporary pact of ‘no harm to each other.’ However, once Xue Qianshao enters the Demon Palace, what was supposed to be a smooth negotiation was repeatedly obstructed. When Xue Qianshao finally managed to secure a meeting, he discovered that he was deeply entangled and caught up in the internal strife within the Demon Realm.

Adding fuel to the fire, during their meeting, the Demon Venerable Hui Xing openly displayed his strong interest in Xue Qianshao. He confessed that he had been attacked by a furnace, carrying a sinister curse and hidden injuries, and wanted Xue Qianshao to help him heal through dual cultivation. Additionally, he used the old debts with Tai Kun Mountain as leverage to coerce and entice Xue Qianshao into agreeing.

Xue Qianshao is no pushover either. However, with the situation in the Demon Realm being intense and bound by the pact with the Demon Venerable Hui Xing, they are both enemies and allies, and must ultimately join forces to fight against common enemies. As Xue Qianshao’s stay in the Demon Realm extends, he begins to recall past events from before he joined Tai Kun Mountain. A forgotten past slowly becomes clearer, and the person from his memories increasingly overlaps with the Demon Venerable Hui Xing…

Is it that the past ties are not yet severed, or is it merely that the players in the game have woven themselves into their own traps?

Thus begins the entanglement between the Sect Master and the Demon Venerable.
