Long Lake Villa is located in the east of the city, near Sha Xue Lake. When you push the door open and go out, you can see the long Luoxia Embankment, where weeping willows are planted one after another.

As the saying goes, a hundred willows form a row, a thousand willows form a mist.

Whenever the evening breeze blows, the slender branches flutter in the air like a sea of emerald green, which is truly a beautiful sight.

Because of this splendid scenery, the ten-mile-long Luoxia Embankment often attracts many poets and literary figures who consider themselves elegant.

They linger on various painted boats, composing poems, enjoying the scenery, and brewing tea, truly living a joyous life.

Passersby can often hear a series of coquettish laughter, like the tinkling of silver bells, making their hearts itch.

It makes them unable to resist stopping and looking around, intending to catch a glimpse of the spring scene inside.

No silver to enter this den of indulgence, it’s still worth taking a look!

The night breeze softly blows, caressing the weeping willows, and a wide, long painted boat docks by the shore to attract customers.

Several young servants hold poles to hang up large red lanterns.

Those experienced in romantic affairs see this and know it signals the opening to receive guests, so they naturally call their friends and board the boat to join the fun.

"Among the entertainment venues on Luoxia Embankment, Huifang Garden and Wenyin Pavilion are the most famous."

Chen Xing’s tall and handsome figure appeared on the lake embankment and was quite prominent, drawing the mischievous teasing and waves of laughter from those leaning against the railings of the painted boats.

"What a robust man!"

"If I could spend a spring night with him, it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t pay!"

"You little vixen, so you fancy this type, do you like how an old ox plows the field?"

"I’m partial to picking young grass, see that young master next to him with the fine figure? He truly makes my heart melt..."

Bai Qi, with his keen senses, heard all these flirtatious and frivolous words clearly, and he lowered his eyelids, thinking to himself:

"Who doesn’t know that the two most famous attractions on Luoxia Embankment are the ’Willow Waves Listening to Warblers’ and the ’Huifang Gatherings.’

But why did Master bring his disciple to such a place?"

Master Bai Qi, in his previous life, was somewhat knowledgeable in romantic affairs and had seen much of the world.

But coming to such an entertainment district together with a master from the sect was indeed a first.

"This place is close to Long Lake Villa, just a few hundred steps. The crowd and commotion, with all eyes watching, make it the perfect place for fishing."

Chen Xing, not looking sideways, did not notice the vulgar pretties, and said softly:

"I just had Zirong investigate, and that Mr. Zhou Er came from the Celestial Water Prefecture, with an unknown background and unclear origins.

As a Daoist Cultivator, theoretically, controlling distractions and mastering one’s will is a basic skill.

Yet as soon as he saw you, he lost his composure, most likely because he comes from a side path or even an ’Evil Demon Sect.’"

Bai Qi instinctively asked:

"Could it really be remnants of the White Sun Sect?"

Those few Evil Demon Sects wanted by the Dragon Court and listed as major rebels.

Having only encountered the White Sun Sect, it was natural for him to think of them.

"Good disciple, don’t let preconceived notions lead you astray."

Chen Xing’s brow twitched, and he said earnestly:

"The White Sun Sect... as far as I know, they are quite strict in selecting their disciples, with few involved in wrongdoing.

Mr. Zhou Er likely belongs to the ’Four Reversals Demon Sect.’"

Master spoke so for the White Sun Sect; could it be... someone familiar is inside?

Bai Qi mused inwardly, then nodded repeatedly, ensuring no words fell to the ground:

"The Four Reversals Demon Sect?"

Chen Xing introduced gravely:

"The Millennium Decline of the Dao, with the rise and fall of the Turbid Tide sweeping the Red County Divine Land, nearly all schools and doctrines were wiped out.

Amidst the collapse of rites and music, all sorts of monstrous beings rose up.

The Four Reversals Demon Sect is the most heretical among them.

They renounce the Four Saints, establish new gods, embrace the Turbid Tide, and celebrate the Decline of the Dao.

They venerate killing and sacrifice, offering the essence of all life... anyone who joins no longer sees themselves as ’humans’ but as ’rebellious disciples of the Great Dao,’ which means ’roots of sin and disaster,’ whose purpose is to destroy all rules and restrictions."

According to Master, these people well deserve the name "Demon Sect."

A group intent on trampling beauty, smashing completeness, a chaotic mess!

No matter the era, they are the street rats everyone shouts to kill!

Bai Qi smacked his lips, realizing that in comparison, the White Sun Sect, simply aiming for rebellion, seemed pure, and even somewhat diligent.

Whatever the era, only intending to do great deeds, kill the Emperor, change the sun and moon, replace the old with the new! They’re practically model workers!

"Master, what’s the origin of the Four Reversals Demon Sect? Why did they suddenly appear?"

Hearing his disciple ask, Chen Xing couldn’t help but laugh:

"The Four Reversals Demon Sect has always been secretive, acting in secrecy. Even the Dragon Court knows little, but I happen to know more than others.

They are descendants of the land where the Dao declined, establishing five scriptures under the argument of ’The sage never dies, great thieves never stop.’

These are ’The Muscle Bodhisattva’s Liberation Sutra,’ ’The Bone Asura’s Inexhaustible Sutra,’ ’The Pimo King’s Immaculate Sutra,’ ’The Flesh Vajra’s Dao Thief Sutra,’ and ’The Blood Martial Saint’s Life and Death Sutra.’

Compared to their self-proclaimed ’route against the Dao,’ a more accurate description is ’Dao Erosion.’

It’s said that a Fallen Immortal fell from beyond, and five patriarchs achieved sudden enlightenment, creating the scriptures, spreading the teachings, establishing the Four Reversals Sect.

Even though the Dragon Court has used Profound Mysterious Divine Soldiers to suppress several upheavals, they have never eradicated them entirely. The Capital City’s Golden Talisman Daoist Official speculates that the sect may enshrine a rare relic capable of confusing heavenly mechanisms.

For instance, the true blood of a Fallen Immortal!"

Master has true wisdom!

Our Tongwen Hall truly has talents in every generation!

Bai Qi’s eyes revealed a timely look of admiration, and he earnestly echoed:

"Master indeed has a broad vision and extensive knowledge, making this disciple eager to accompany you always, to listen and learn, and gain progress!"

Chen Xing raised an eyebrow, and his originally solemn expression couldn’t help but burst into a smile, his whole being filled with joy and satisfaction.
