Description
Seong Muyeon, the seventh son of the Demon Cult Leader and a sufferer of severed meridians syndrome, realizes that he has been reincarnated as a character in the martial arts novel “Supreme Sword Chronicle.” According to the original plot, the Demon Cult is utterly destroyed by the protagonist Baek Ryeoil. Using recuperation as an excuse, he sneaks out of the Demon Cult’s headquarters, but…… “What business do you have in the Central Plains? What filthy scheme are you plotting?” Of all people, he gets caught by Baek Ryeoil himself. At this point, there’s no other choice. If he can’t avoid being killed by the protagonist, it’s better to cling to him instead! “Please hide me. You wanted to catch me anyway, didn’t you?” “No.” “But you’re the most trustworthy in the whole sect!” Through desperate flattery, he somehow manages to enter the righteous sect, but there’s no way life will be easy for Seong Muyeon, a former demon cultist. After a series of incidents, Seong Muyeon’s severed meridians syndrome flares up again, and Baek Ryeoil makes a suggestion—— “Just do dual cultivation with me.” ▶ A Quick Taste It felt like Seong Muyeon’s soul was leaving his body through his mouth. He held his forehead. “……Please explain in more detail.” “One of the treatments for severed meridians is to perform dual cultivation with someone who has at least one Jiazi¹ worth of internal energy.” ‘I already know that!’ Countless heroines in the martial arts world had their illnesses cured thanks to the protagonist’s grace. As expected of the main character, Baek Ryeoil had an immense amount of internal energy. “If that’s one method, what are the others?” “Become a Huajing master and completely transform your body.” Baek Ryeoil looked Seong Muyeon up and down. “Judging by your current state, you’d have a better chance coming back from the dead.” “……” “This is the easiest. Besides, all the ingredients are right here.” Baek Ryeoil pointed at himself, his eyes gleaming. “I refuse.” Seong Muyeon rejected him on the spot and turned away without hesitation. “Why not!” “Just because.” ¹ Jiazi (甲子): A traditional Chinese time unit equal to a 60-year cycle. In martial arts fiction, it often symbolizes a high level of internal cultivation.

My Thoughts on How the Demon Cult Leader’s Son Survives in the Righteous Sect
First Impressions
"How the Demon Cult Leader’s Son Survives in the Righteous Sect" immediately grabbed my attention with its intriguing title and premise. A demon cult leader's son, trying to survive in a righteous sect? Sign me up! I went in expecting a wild ride of deception, cultivation, and maybe a little romance, and so far, I haven't been disappointed. The story plunges you right into the action, and the protagonist's fish-out-of-water experience is both hilarious and surprisingly relatable.
What Works Well
What I appreciate most about this story is its commitment to character depth. The male lead, with his aggressive tendencies and alcohol-fueled arrogance, could easily have been a one-dimensional brute. However, the author skillfully reveals layers of complexity, showing his deep loyalty to his master and his gradual development of affection for the MC. It's refreshing to see a character who is flawed but ultimately capable of growth.
The MC also shines. He's not a cultivation prodigy; in fact, he's quite the opposite. He's sickly and relies on his wits and modern sensibilities to navigate the treacherous world of ancient China. His initial panic and "dumb" decisions, as some might call them, actually make him incredibly relatable. I found myself constantly thinking, "Yeah, I'd probably do that too in that situation." This relatability helps to ground the story and makes it easier to invest in his journey.
The pacing is also well-managed. I never felt bogged down by excessive world-building or exposition. The story unfolds naturally, and the focus remains on the characters and their interactions. The dynamic between the MC and ML is captivating, with their contrasting personalities leading to plenty of comedic moments and heartfelt connections.
Areas of Concern
Honestly, I don't have many serious criticisms. The story is still ongoing, so there's always the potential for things to go downhill. However, based on what I've read so far, I'm optimistic that the author will continue to deliver a compelling and entertaining narrative.
Final Verdict
Overall, "How the Demon Cult Leader’s Son Survives in the Righteous Sect" is a refreshing and enjoyable read. The well-developed characters, engaging plot, and relatable protagonist make it a standout in the wuxia genre. If you're looking for a story with depth, humor, and a touch of romance, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I'm eagerly anticipating future updates and excited to see where the story goes next.
