How Is This Demonic Cultivator So Righteous?

On the first day after transmigrating into the Taiyin Sect, Xu Bingyan realized he had landed in a demonic sect.

Here, human souls were refined into pills, living people were used to test Gu, and fellow disciples killing one another wasn't called infighting. It was called everyday cultivation.

Xu Bingyan didn't run.

The Ninefold Merit Pagoda in his sea of consciousness had told him that slaying demons and doing good deeds would make him stronger.

And this demonic sect was full of opportunities to vanquish demons.

So the Taiyin Sect's ways started to go off course...

When his senior sister tried to cultivate dual cultivation with him, he purified the stray spiritual energy in her body, causing her cultivation to plummet. The whole sect spread the rumor: “Xu Bingyan drained his senior sister until she was crippled!”

An elder gave him a Banner of Ten Thousand Souls. Xu Bingyan turned around and delivered every vengeful spirit trapped inside to the afterlife. The sect elders said, “This boy actually looks down on ordinary souls and only feeds on thousand-year-old vengeful spirits. His nature is terrifying, without precedent in history.”

When told to cripple his opponent's spiritual root, he instead healed the opponent's old injuries. An elder sighed in admiration: “First he cripples him, then he heals him. He toys with people's hearts. This boy is truly terrifying.”

Xu Bingyan lived in constant fear every day.

He only wanted to quietly remain a decent person in this den of demons.

But the whole sect said he was born to be a demon seed.

The Righteous Alliance was convinced he was a demon lord unseen in ten thousand years.

He looked down at his cultivation, which had surged from delivering vengeful spirits to the afterlife, then at the elders who had pinned their hopes on him as the future of the demonic path, and sank into an even deeper silence.

It seemed the misunderstanding had only gotten worse.
