The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 123 - 66: Heaven’s Chosen Ones

"Indeed, we shouldn’t interfere excessively." Tianmiao wore a serious expression. "However, a slight intervention is permissible."

Kong Hou blinked: "Oh? Then shall I assist Yinglong? Strengthen the seal beneath Canglang Sect for him?"

"You may." Tianmiao nodded in agreement, smiling.

In the next moment, Kong Hou’s figure vanished from sight.

Dong Xiao looked ahead, where demonic qi surged sky-high.

"Boss." Dong Xiao respectfully lowered his head.

"Let us go. This world, we have stayed long enough." Tianmiao reached out to pat Dong Xiao’s head, causing him to look astonished. Unable to hold back a soft laugh, Tianmiao added, "Don’t think I didn’t notice your envious gaze each time I patted Kong Hou’s head." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Dong Xiao’s face flushed crimson.

"I, I didn’t! She’s still a child, I am an adult now, I wouldn’t act like her." Dong Xiao muttered shyly. Kong Hou was merely over a hundred years old this year, not yet of age, and in Dong Xiao’s eyes, she was indeed like a child. But Dong Xiao, already over three thousand, had long since matured. As adults, how could one yearn for the Master’s affectionate head pats?

"Alright, let’s move." Ignoring Dong Xiao’s unconvincing denial, Tianmiao patted his head again. "Burn away that demonic qi."

Dong Xiao nodded, reclining backwards, falling downwards.

A flash of five-colored light flickered as a gigantic phoenix appeared before Tianmiao.

Its enormous wings, radiant plumes, and long, magnificent tail feathers. Its eyes were akin to the most beautiful gemstones.

...

"Employ the Sealing Demon Array." The Sect Leader of Canglang Sect said gravely, his face solemn.

Silence enveloped those around him.

The Sealing Demon Array, created by the founding forefather of Canglang Sect, possessed immense power. Not only could it bind demons within the array, but it could also eradicate those with considerable strength. However, the price paid was exceedingly high, even to the point of being grievous. Eight eye positions in the array required eight individuals of Nascent Soul strength and firm resolve, consuming their spiritual power, and even their lifespan.

In those years, the individuals who cast the array alongside the Canglang Sect’s founding ancestor all met an early demise.

The Sect Master of Wuji Sect patted the Great Elder’s shoulder: "If anything happens to me, protect Wuji Sect afterward."

"No, elder brother, I cannot hold it. Only you can. Let me go." The Great Elder spoke resolutely.

Members of Xiliu Sect bowed their heads, faces steeped in shame. The deeds of the Xiliu Sect Master had long been deduced from the dialogue between Yang Shirui and the Master of Xiliu Sect; just what had this Sect Master done? As one of the three great sects, where inside the sect her word was law, the heads of Wuji Sect and Canglang Sect would both defer to her because of her gender. Thus, her presumption and desire for control only grew.

Elders of Xiliu Sect had discerned this issue and cautioned repeatedly, yet to no avail. They thought the Sect Master would eventually learn a lesson, but they never imagined she would wreak such tremendous havoc—causing not only her own demise but also endangering countless others, plunging the entire world into catastrophe.

"All of you from Xiliu Sect deserve death!" an indignant disciple declared, glaring at the Xiliu Sect members, "Had it not been for your foolish and cocksure Sect Master, how could things have come to this?"

Members of Xiliu Sect hung their heads in shameful silence, unable to retort.

"I shall be the main eye for the Sealing Demon Array." The Supreme Elder of Xiliu Sect, ridden with guilt, stepped forward.
