Chapter 452: Chapter 196: Go Die, All of You! (Please Subscribe)_2

"Yes!"

"Disciple Chen Yi cleaved Lou Yuchun with a single sword strike, and that old fellow was indignant. He went to Brother Xiao to argue."

"The implied meaning in his words was — they at Wuliang Mountain knew they were in the wrong, but the crime was not so severe."

"They hoped to take a step back with our Grand Void Sect, to waive the explanation owed to Disciple Chen Yi, and also..."

Gu Tiangang paused, seemingly ashamed to say it out loud, and angrily said:

"So, it’s easy for them from Wuliang Mountain to target disciples of our Grand Void Sect and just gloss over it?"

"In this old Daoist’s view, Chen Yi should handle it himself! If those old coots from Wuliang Mountain are not convinced, let them come to battle!"

"It’s not just the heritage left by our ancestors that has made our Grand Void Sect the second great Taoist sect!"

Cao Abao understood and pondered with a thoughtful expression on his thin, long face.

He looked towards the neighboring room and knew that Chen Yi must have heard their conversation. Thus, he no longer kept it a secret.

"Brother, don’t be angry yet. But think carefully; what Brother Xiao said is not without reason."

"What reason? The bigger picture always takes precedence, it’s always about the bigger picture!" Gu Tiangang was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring.

Cao Abao helplessly said, "Brother, you should know the relationship we have with the Daoists from Wuliang Mountain at Taizhou Mountain."

"Even Junior Brother Qing Zhou, the area he guards is closest to two people from Wuliang Mountain."

"When encountering demon attacks, they support each other, fighting side by side against the invading demons."

"Even Absolute Blade Yan Hai, on Taizhou Mountain, could set aside his grudge and join forces with Junior Brother Qing Zhou..."

Gu Tiangang’s face twitched slightly, knowing what he said was the truth.

Seeing this, Cao Abao let out a sigh of relief and said:

"If we go to war with Wuliang Mountain because of this matter, regardless of the outcome for either side, it would cause a chain reaction there."

"At that time, if our fellowship falters and Junior Brother Qing Zhou or Brother Xiao finds themselves trapped with no one to help, in case..."

Gu Tiangang waved his hand, interrupting him: "I know what you are saying."

This was also the reason why the Grand Void Sect hadn’t gone to war after the Yuhua Immortal Sect’s Ye Ningxiu colluded with demons in their recent attack.

"Brother, we’ve spent our whole lives in the Tianyuan Continent, never having the chance to go to Taizhou Mountain. Indeed, we can only regard what’s right and wrong without considering other factors."

Cao Abao sighed, "But, on Taizhou Mountain, unity is the rule set by our ancient ancestors for the Human Race."

"Once that unity is lost, I’m afraid it would bring disaster upon our cities."

Gu Tiangang mumbled, nearly spitting out a curse, but after some thought, he sighed helplessly.

"It’s so damn frustrating."

"Brother..."

Before Cao Abao could continue advising, Gu Tiangang glanced at the chessboard, swept his sleeve to scatter the black and white pieces, and stood up to leave with a ashamed expression.

"I’m going to ask Disciple Chen Yi about it."

"Eh?"

Cao Abao glanced at his hurried steps, then at the scattered black and white pieces on the floor.

"Damn, can you really take back a move like that?"

In fact, Chen Yi already knew what Gu Tiangang wanted to say without him speaking.

He simply smiled, "Uncle-Master, please tell the Sect Master that I will give the sect an explanation for this matter."

"Do you already have a plan?" Gu Tiangang was relieved, "In my opinion, you don’t have to care about Brother Xiao’s thoughts. Just do what you want."

"Even if it means killing people like Lou Yuchun, it won’t affect us much. It’s just that... Taizhou Mountain... Junior Brother Qing Zhou..."

Gu Tiangang was straightforward and wanted to suggest Chen Yi be a bit more restrained to leave some room for maneuver, but he really couldn’t bring himself to say such things.

"Don’t worry, uncle-master, I know what to do."

Out of consideration for the presence of Fairy Hua Xianzi and Hua Youxiang, Chen Yi kept a gentle demeanor, still that elegant young master.

Hua Youxiang snorted, "Uncle-Master, you shouldn’t persuade the brother, you should let Wuliang Mountain give us an explanation."

"It’s clear they provoked the brother first, and yet the culprit plays victim. What first great Taoist sect, I think they are all just fishing for fame!"

Fairy Hua Xianzi tugged at her but didn’t take a stand on whether to persuade him or not, simply saying that it was fine for Brother Chen Yi to decide.

"Brother, just make your own decision."

"No matter what you choose, we will support you."

Chen Yi nodded and said with a smile, "You two don’t need to get involved. Better to think about where to have fun in the next few days."

He shared similar thoughts to Gu Tiangang.

Lou Yuchun, as the Sect Master of Wuliang Mountain, had tried to use his influence to overpower Chen Yi. Upon failing, he even persuaded the Grand Void Sect to mediate, demanding that he explain himself to Wuliang Mountain... Tsk, tsk.

Peace?

What peace, my ass!

He was totally set on this "task".

...

As the night approached,

Chen Yi finished dinner with Hua Xianzi and the others at the Grand Void Sect’s residence before departing alone.

The sky drizzled with a gentle rain, shrouding the dark night sky, making everything else appear even more dull and lacking in light.

Even though the residence was surrounded by the grand mansions of wealthy families, with lanterns hanging at the gates, the light still failed to penetrate far into the darkness.

Chen Yi glanced at the sky, his smiling face gradually turning serious as he held the Spring Rain Sword’s hilt with one hand and slowly stepped into the night rain.

This time, he didn’t open the oil-paper umbrella but rather hung it like an ornament at his waist.

Despite the continuous drizzle, not a single drop seemed to wet his clothes.

A wisp of silver-white mist faintly appeared and silently spread out behind him as he moved.

Passersby, completely unaware, didn’t point and whisper as the well-to-do young lady had done that morning, but instead it seemed as though they only saw a hazy mist of silvery white.

"Is it getting foggy?"

"Damn, why’s the weather in Kyoto Prefecture as gloomy and rainy as in Jiangnan Prefecture?"

"Spring rain nourishes silently, what the hell do you know?"

"And who do you think you are, having read a few years of books?"

"Of course..."

Chen Yi ignored the discussions of the passersby and after crossing two market squares, he arrived at a secluded alley and paused.

He turned his head towards a corner and said in a flat tone, "Come out."

Before the words could settle,

a charming and delicate figure slowly emerged from the shadowy brickwall corner.

Wen Renying looked at him timidly and seductively, "My lord summons, and I dare not delay~"

Her voice was soft and entwined with a tempting allure.

But the next moment, she changed the subject: "Is there a reward?"

Chen Yi, expressionless, shot her a glance and took out a Demon Blood Core from the Sumeru Bag and tossed it to her.

"This is the advance payment. When the task is complete, you won’t be short of benefits."

Wen Renying hurriedly caught it, her alluring eyes widening in surprise, and her cherry-like lips forming an ’O’.

Advance payment—a Master Realm Demon Blood Core?!

Advance payment?!

Wen Renying suddenly felt the Blood Core burning hot in her hand and hesitantly looked at Chen Yi,

"My lord, you are aware of my level of cultivation; if the enemy is too powerful, I may have the will but not the strength..."

Chen Yi glanced at her, "You want to reap the benefits without any risk?"

"My lord, it’s not like that~ It’s just that if the danger is too great, there should be additional payment~" Wen Renying said this embarrassingly, her face blushing and twisting her words with a brazen attitude.

"..."

Chen Yi gave her a stern look and said impatiently, "Stop the nonsense! Do you still remember those few households I mentioned earlier?"

"The tasks my lord assigned, how could I dare forget," Wen Renying regained her composure and asked with confusion,

"But those families are not particularly powerful. How could such people catch my lord’s attention?"

Chen Yi didn’t acknowledge her flattery but stated flatly,

"Your task is simple—no matter what methods you use, infiltrate the core of their families!"

"Just like that?" Wen Renying eyed him with suspicion.

"For now, that will do," Chen Yi pondered for a moment then added,

"Be careful. The forces behind them might be bigger than I anticipated. Try not to get noticed."

Wen Renying immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patting her ample chest and giggled,

"You scared me to death~ At first, I thought my lord wanted me to assassinate the wielders of power in those big families~"

"If it’s just about getting into the core of their families... that’s not difficult~"

After all, not everyone has a heart of steel like my lord.

Of course, even if Wen Renying had a few more guts, she wouldn’t dare to say such a thing out loud.
