So I Am A Demon Descendent! - Chapter 209

05 September.

Lianghua Temple ushered in the most lively event in these ten years: Taoist Forum Conference.

Every ten years, the Taoist Forum Conference was held, which was like the Olympic Games of the demon descendants community. In the opening of the Taoist Forum Conference, there would be a gathering of heroes from all over the world.

It provided a stage for the world’s demon descendants to shine and make their mark.

Every champion of the Taoist Forum Conference, was a reputable formidable character by now, or a pillar of a major family, or the leader or elder of various sects. Thirty years ago, the winner of the conference was Li Wuxiang.

If he was alive, he would have been a Gokudo Master. When Buddha Head and Taoist Reverend were young, they were the champions of the Taoist Forum Conference.

The most high-profile of this conference was supposed to be the boss of Baoze. As the representative of the new generation, the world had always maintained a high level of attention to him, far more than several Gokudo inheritors.

However, since the establishment of Baoze, his identity was different, and presumably, he would not participate in the conference.

The conference was divided into two groups: youth group and middle-aged group. The 20 to 30 year old participants belonged to the youth group and the 30 to 40 year old participants belonged to the middle-aged group. The older ones were unable to participate.

After all, if one was talented, they would have become reputable at the age of 40 and no longer needed to fight for fame at the conference.

Furthermore, there were the Chinese elders who liked to put on airs. They were not willing to roll up their sleeves to fight people and be watched by thousands of people.

If Baoze’s big boss were to participate, by age, he should be divided into the youth group. However, that was akin to bullying children, and was unfair.

If he were to go to the middle-age group, that was bullying elders, which would be inhumane.

“So, it’s not good to rise in the ranks too quickly. Big Boss complained to me yesterday, that he lost the chance to show off to a large group of people, what a waste.” Lightning King led a group of senior staff.

Buddha Head’s first disciple Jie Se led them through the temple, into the back yard where the monks lived.

In the architectural structure of Lianghua Temple, the front was the main hall, that housed Buddha and Bodhisattva, which are orthodox Buddha gods. There were no regional Buddhist statues from Dali Chongsheng Temple.

At the rear were houses, maintaining the quaint characteristics of having green and black bricks. More than 2,000 monks lived here.

The manpower was still not enough, as many disciples of the Buddhist monasteries came to Lianghua Temple early to help maintain order. As Buddhist disciples, five Taoist Forum Conferences were held in Lianghua Temple, and they were proud of it.

The Taoist Forum Conference was held by the two religious sects, Buddhist and Taoist sects in turn. In this supposed rotation, it wasn’t them taking turns.

It was about who has the Gokudo Masters, who is qualified to hold the Taoist Forum Conference. If there was a Gokudo Master in each sect, then they would take turns in organizing the conference.

“We are going to meet Buddha Head, I have never seen Buddha Head, the top master of the demon descendant community, I’m so excited,” Li Bai said in a low voice.

“I cannot help but want to recite a poem: I am the sword deity Li Taibai, I love swords and women the most. My sword aura cam span 30,000 miles, my sword will sweep through 19 states. I will ask the old bald man if he can fight.”

Lady Killer whispered, “Are you trying to challenge Buddha Head? Are you sure?”

Li Bai replied, “It’s more badass reciting it like this, Buddha Head wouldn’t hold it against me.”

Kato Eagle said, “It seems that Buddha Head has not emerged in twenty years. I don’t know if he will attend this conference.”

Wang Lao Er shook his head. “No, since the death of Martial Uncle Li Wuxiang, Master has remained in Lianghua Temple for 20 years, and is no longer involved in worldly matters.”

“Why?”

“You have to ask? Martial Uncle Li Wuxiang was once the most favorite disciple of Master. If he wasn’t already a Gokudo inheritor and hence could not really become a monk, the position of Lianghua Temple inheritor would belong to him.”

“Master is spiteful against the world’s demon descendants. Believe it or not, he will never be involved in matters regarding the orthodox clans.”

For example, the Wu family was robbed a while ago. It was a major matter in the demon descendant community but eventually died down without a big commotion. That’s because the top master, Buddha Head didn’t get involved. Only he can compete with the Big Boss of Baoze.

Each major family and Taoist clans made a “joint petition”, hoping that Buddha Head would come forward to seek justice. However, like a rock sinking into the sea, they did not get a response.

Jie Se knew about this matter. He watched as his master deleted the emails and commented, “Scram.”

“Jie Se just happened to get the position then,” someone said suddenly, as if realizing something.

The crowd looked at San Wu, who had an expression of “So, it’s like this. I heard a big gossip.”

Congratulations, San Wu finally knows how to use the correct facial expression emoji. This is great progress. Lady Killer’s mouth twitched as he snarked, “Hey, are you stupid?”

San Wu said, “Am I wrong?”

Lady Killer said, “You’re right, but don’t tell the truth… Pft, I shouldn’t talk to you anymore.”

Everyone face-palmed.

Jie Se’s expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Thunderbolt Battle Lady complained, “Young monk, you people of Lianghua Temple are too heartless. A bottle of mineral water costs 20 dollars, a breakfast porridge with pickled vegetables costs 200 yuan. What happened to the compassion of the monks?”

I’m so broke that I have to eat mud. I still have to think of how to borrow some money from Li Xianyu. Now that I have come to Lianghua Temple, I’m still fleeced by you, Thunderbolt Battle Lady thought.

The Taoist Forum Conference is accompanied by huge interests, each session of the Taoist Forum Conference can bring about immense profit for Lianghua Temple. The temple rarely earned money but when it did, it earned a lot.

Jie Se said nonchalantly, “Master said, if the price is too expensive, you can reason with him.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady pouted. “Lightning King, will the company reimburse this?”

Lightning King replied in exasperation, “This is not a business, trip everyone came here to play on their own accord, the company does not reimburse this.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady then said, “When is Li Xianyu coming? I’ll ask him for some money.”

Lightning King was surprised. “When have you become so close with him?”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady waved her hands and denied, “No, he has a great-grandmother who loves to spend money. She spends money generously, so I’ll be able to follow her and get some money.”

Lightning King was speechless. You’re an employee who earns a few million dollars per year. Can you stop acting so poor?

Great-Grandma was a young lady who came from a rich family. Although she had been poor for many years, her spending habits were deep into the bones. When she had servants around, she was generous in bearing the costs.

Lightning King said, “But it’s possible, he earns more points this month than the amount you people earn in two or three years.”

The crowd of senior staff were stunned. “Are you kidding me?”

However, without waiting for Lightning King to explain, they realized it themselves. “Oh, that’s because he’s a trouble magnet.

All that happened to a trouble magnet was big trouble, so the point rewards were high.

This was also a good way to get rich, using life to make money.

Lightning King sighed, and he did not reveal Li Xianyu’s encounters. It was all tears behind the stories. Both he and Li Xianyu wanted to cry. Missions regarding the strange javelin and the forces behind the fallen angel were tricky and troublesome.

Since Li Xianyu joined the company, the burden of his duties has soared.

“Recently, my hairline has receded again.” Lightning King shook his head exasperatedly.
