Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 241 - 208: And Then Zhang Baiyi Fell to the Dark Side!

When Su Yuan's somewhat teasing voice echoed, Zhang Baiyi felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

Although he was still invisible, he had the feeling that he was completely seen through.

He dared not hesitate at all and hurriedly took out his phone, wanting to send out the evidence he had gathered earlier.

But the result was despairing.

The Spiritual Net here had somehow already been cut off.

Despair aside, it was still reasonable.

After all, Su Yuan had found him; how could Su Yuan not be on guard against him?

Helpless, Zhang Baiyi could only remove the Invisibility Talisman and reveal his true form.

"How did you discover me?"

Zhang Baiyi stared vigilantly at Su Yuan, asking in a deep voice.

Su Yuan smiled and said:

"It's quite simple, really. I've been monitoring every corner of our school in real-time."

"Especially in the preparatory class' classroom, nothing escapes my notice."

"Zhang, when you used an Invisibility Talisman so ostentatiously in school, my Cyber Brothers naturally noticed and reported it to me immediately."

"As for how to monitor your subsequent whereabouts? Don't you know that the city is full of infrared thermal cameras and carbon dioxide detectors?"

"The Invisibility Talisman is long outdated, especially in the city. Its effect on privacy protection is no different than wearing a hood."

Zhang Baiyi fell into silence.

He was not convinced by Su Yuan but felt utterly at a loss for words.

What kind of decent person continuously monitors their own school and classroom in real-time?

There must be another layer of conspiracy in Su Yuan's actions! He had long extended the hand of the Demon Dao into the preparatory class, into every corner of Taihua City!

Realizing this, Zhang Baiyi finally understood the biggest flaw in his plan —

He shouldn't have confronted Su Yuan within Taihua City.

This demon-infested area was full of Su Yuan's minions. No matter how much he prepared, he was no match for Su Yuan.

While Zhang Baiyi was silently speechless, Su Yuan spoke again:

"Zhang, you might feel unconvinced about being exposed this time."

"But in fact, whether you use an Invisibility Talisman or any other talisman, any move you make toward me will not escape my eyes."

"The reason is simple: I've been watching you for a long time!"

"Watching... watching me?!"

Zhang Baiyi looked shocked.

Su Yuan nodded slightly, speaking calmly:

"You're a very talented person; I believe your power should serve the Primordial Sect."

"Qi Hanyan and other seeds discovered by Master Qiu from the Profound Art Celestial Sect have been working for me for a long time."

"You share the same master; why not join the Primordial Sect too? The benefits and academic credits can be discussed."

Though Zhang Baiyi felt somewhat shaken after listening, he still shook his head decisively and said:

"Su Yuan, forget about it!"

"Since ancient times, the Righteous and the Demon have been irreconcilable; I can never forsake the light for the dark!"

After speaking, Zhang Baiyi earnestly said again:

"But Su Yuan, if you're willing to repent now, stop the demonic elixir and Demonic Dao Heaven-Opening Pearl business, and return to the Righteous Dao, we might still have a chance to cooperate."

Su Yuan chuckled slightly:

"Zhang, your bias against me runs deep."

"My methods in Alchemy and Artifact Refining might be somewhat bloody, often called Demon Dao by people."

"But think carefully, how is what I do different from what a slaughterhouse does?"

"Isn't it all about using materials from Spirit Beasts for human use? What exactly is demonic about it?"

Zhang Baiyi stood firm, saying:

"Your actions might be legal, but the more bloody matters you encounter, the harder it is to avoid falling into an irretrievable abyss."

"The future will worry about the future."

Su Yuan casually replied while walking toward Zhang Baiyi:

"Zhang, I'll ask you once more, will you join the Primordial Sect?"

This time, Su Yuan's tone had turned cold.

Though Zhang Baiyi tried hard to convince himself that Su Yuan dared not act recklessly, he couldn't stop his inner anxiety.

He clenched his teeth, striving not to retreat, and said in a deep voice:

"Su Yuan, I advise you not to act recklessly! Otherwise, once I escape, I will report all your evil deeds honestly to Master!"

Su Yuan shrugged:

"Who said I want to attack? I don't like fighting or killing; I just want to convince you to join the sect through reasoning."

"No matter what you say, I won't join the sect!"

Zhang Baiyi sternly shouted!

Su Yuan smiled lightly:

"Zhang, your resistance merely relies on your Master."

"What if I tell you that Master Qiu is fully aware of all my actions and chooses to tolerate it, then what choice will you make?"

These words hit Zhang Baiyi like a hammer, leaving him dumbfounded.

What? Master already knows everything?!

Knowing Su Yuan has fallen into the Demon Dao yet still allowing him to harm others? How could it be!

"No... it can't be, my Master is a Golden Core Doctor of the Ten Great Immortal Sects. How could he allow the Demon Dao to fester? You're lying to me!"

Zhang Baiyi instinctively retorted.

"Lying to you?"

Su Yuan's mouth curved into a sinister smile:

"How about this, I'll restore the Spiritual Net here and allow you to report all the evidence you've gathered, my dealings with Boss Cai, everything to Master Qiu."

"And see what Master Qiu has to say."

Zhang Baiyi said nothing, he just hurriedly lit up his phone.

Seeing the signal restored, he immediately sent various pictures of the flesh factory and evidence of the Demonic Dao Heaven-Opening Pearl to his Master.

Then, he bit his lip tightly, staring at the screen without blinking, waiting for a reply from his Master.

Perhaps a long time passed, or maybe just a few seconds.

After an unbearably long wait, Master finally replied with only four short words.

But just those four words shook Zhang Baiyi's Dao Heart!

"Don't worry about him."

Don't worry... about Su Yuan?

Master indeed knew everything.

But he, as Su Yuan said, turned a blind eye to all of Su Yuan's Demon Dao activities!

Could I be mistaken?

Should I not adhere strictly to the Righteous Dao?

A strong feeling of betrayal surged into the heart of the inexperienced young man.

Just as Zhang Baiyi's mind was lost, unable to hold on, Su Yuan had already reached him.

He hooked his hand over Zhang Baiyi's shoulder, tempting:

"All this time, watching your former defeated subordinates surpass you in academic credits, it must have felt terrible."

"But there's no choice, who told you to only refine proper Magical Treasures?"

"Who doesn't know how to refine proper Magical Treasures? The path of Righteous Dao is overcrowded; how much can you earn even if you're a genius?"

"Join the Primordial Sect. With your talent, you'll surely learn the Demonic Dao Heaven-Opening Pearl technique very quickly."

"Once you join, I'll eliminate 'Righteous Witch's Small Magical Treasure,' the largest illegal Artifact Refining Demon Sect in Taihua City, and let you manage the underground Artifact Refining business."

"By then, your academic credits will skyrocket, and you'll establish Spirit Root Foundation before formally joining the Profound Art Celestial Sect!"

Su Yuan's voice, dripping with endless temptation, invaded Zhang Baiyi's already shaken mind.

"Academic credits, right... the Righteous Dao can't give me academic credits. I should be like Qi Hanyan and them, since Master allows this, since it can be permitted..."

Zhang Baiyi murmured vacantly, then mechanically nodded to Su Yuan.

"Fine... I'll join the Primordial Sect."
