Chapter 150: Chapter 134: We’ll Talk About It Later

"Loyalty? Hmph... see for yourselves!"

After the Demon Dao Elder spoke, he casually tossed the Spatial Ring in his hand to the person next to him.

The Demonic Creature beside him was puzzled but opened the Spatial Ring. After a while, his expression drastically changed!

"This... this... what a Yun Feng! I couldn’t tell at all. Not only did he carve the painful reasons behind his feigned submission to the Holy Sect inside the Spatial Ring, but he also inscribed all the intelligence and secrets he had gathered from the Holy Sect..."

"And here I thought he was fiercely loyal, a promising talent to be molded. To think he harbored such treacherous ambitions!!!"

"Thank goodness the Elder is so perceptive. If he hadn’t seen through Yun Feng’s scheme, this... could have ruined everything!"

"That guy truly deserves to die. I was actually feeling a bit of pity for his death, but looking at it now, his death is not to be pitied!"

"Despicable!"

Once the other Demonic Creatures learned of Yun Feng’s actions, they were filled with rage, wishing they could whip his corpse to vent their anger.

The Demon Dao Elder in the middle, however, remained indifferent. He said calmly, "From the very beginning, I felt it was a bit strange when Yun Feng suddenly proposed seeking revenge against his master. Later... unfortunately for him, I saw through his trick!"

"The Elder’s calculations are divine!"

"Brilliant! The rest was simple... secretly swap his Storage Ring, then follow him and watch him put on an act in front of Yun Buliu until his death. Finally... let him die with an uncleared name, never to be vindicated!"

"Just like watching a clown!"

"He thought his methods were so clever, believing that after his suicide, Yun Buliu would discover his Storage Ring and restore his innocence. However, Yun Feng could never have imagined that in the end, not only would he die, but... the secret of his innocence would never, ever be known to anyone. Whether in the Demon Dao or the orthodox path, he is destined to go down in infamy. He will be recorded in history as a negative example to warn future generations—when taking in a disciple, never accept someone who would betray their master and ancestors like Yun Feng!"

The surrounding Demonic Creatures viewed the Elder’s methods in a whole new light. They were now even more fearful of him!

"No... you’ve only guessed a part of it." The Demon Dao Elder sneered. "Did you really think I followed him just to watch him fall into the abyss, just to watch a clown perform?"

"What other brilliant insights does the Elder have?"

"There’s no harm in telling you. My original intention in following him wasn’t actually to watch him die, nor was it to completely ruin his reputation!" the Demon Dao Elder said softly.

"What does the Elder mean?"

"I originally planned to follow him... watch him meet Yun Buliu, and after their competition, regardless of whether he won or lost, I would take action to eliminate everyone present. That would have thoroughly pinned the crime of betraying his master and ancestors on Yun Feng, never to be vindicated. Or, I could have taken Yun Buliu hostage and elevated his Alchemist cultivation base to the Saint Grade as well, forcing them both to serve the Demon Dao diligently for the rest of their days. After all, in the Holy Sect’s original plan, Yun Buliu was already on the list of captives. Doing this would have killed two birds with one stone!"

Yun Feng had mentioned that Yun Buliu was being targeted because he accidentally discovered his master’s name on a blacklist. Unable to remain calm, he had to find a way to warn him.

"Then why did the Elder change his mind later on?"

"Very simple. Two reasons made me change my mind. First... I found Yun Buliu to be far more interesting and much better suited to take over Yun Feng’s position. After all... Yun Buliu is a true Saint Grade Alchemist. He isn’t like Yun Feng, a pseudo Saint Grade Alchemist who burned his lifespan to forcibly elevate his cultivation. Yun Feng didn’t have much time left to live, whereas Yun Buliu... has a much longer lifespan and can provide his services to the Holy Sect for a much longer time. So why wouldn’t I discard Yun Feng? If he stayed alive... he would just waste a lot of the Holy Sect’s life-saving resources!"

So that was it!

"Second... that blind man!"

"Hmm? The blind man?"

"Did you notice the blind man sitting between the Yun Family and the Xu Family? That man is... unfathomable. At first, I also thought he was just an ordinary person... but later, I noticed that the little wolf pup in his arms actually had faint ripples of the Saint Dao flowing around it. If we had forcefully made a move, I’m afraid the five of us would have met our ends there today!" the Demon Dao Elder said solemnly.

"Are you saying... that White Wolf is a Saint Level creature?"

"Exactly! And... its cultivation is higher than mine!" the Demon Dao Elder said heavily.

"To think a Saint Dao creature is merely that man’s pet... One can only imagine how terrifying he truly is!"

Everyone fell silent. Unfathomable...

"It’s hard to imagine that an ordinary place like the Chen Family Village is actually full of hidden experts... Sigh, when we return, we must warn the rest of the Demon Dao to never provoke the Chen Family Village in the future, and even to avoid operating in this area altogether!"

No wonder he had bowed to Su Tan earlier. No wonder these members of the Demon Dao suddenly became so reasonable and rule-abiding.

"Then why didn’t he attack us just now?"

"Perhaps... he has no interest in us, or perhaps... he is wary of the Holy Sect’s power. However, I believe it’s mostly the former. People like him enjoy a life of seclusion, preferring a carefree existence free from worldly attachments. As long as you don’t provoke him or cross his bottom line, you’ll generally be fine!"

"That’s true. The Feiyue Empire and the Celestial Fragrance Empire have had constant friction in recent years. Considering he lives within Celestial Fragrance, if he had the heart to intervene, Feiyue would have been wiped out long ago..."

"Elder, do you think... he will ruin our plans?" one of the Demonic Creatures asked.

"He shouldn’t... Of course, if it truly comes down to it, we will naturally have someone on our side to deal with him. We of the Holy Sect... never fear a battle!"

...

Chen Family Village!

"Thank you, Master. If not for you, this disciple might have already been torn to pieces!" Yun Buliu bowed to Su Tan.

It was all because of Su Tan that he had won.

"No need for thanks." Su Tan thought, "I just wanted to eat a good meal."

"I originally wanted to borrow your disciple after your victory, but now... it seems you still have other matters to attend to, so I’ll hold off on that for now!"

The master and disciple were currently dealing with Yun Feng’s corpse. Funerary arrangements and the like were quite troublesome.

"With the Xu Family’s help, the funeral arrangements won’t be difficult..." Yun Buliu said.

"Forget it. We’ll talk about it later!" Su Tan said.

Besides Shangguan Xiu’Er, he still had that girl Yun Chu.
