Ch 305: The Blood Offering Pavilion’s Assassin
That familiar feeling was etched into my bones, like someone incredibly familiar.
“Who are you?”
The two of them no longer had their previous confidence facing Liu Dongyue.
Liu Dongyue looked around, said nothing, and waited until someone brought in tea. After Liu Dongyue took a sip, he dismissed the person and spoke a name in a voice only the two could hear.
Hearing the name, the two’s expressions changed drastically.
Because the name Liu Dongyue spoke was known throughout the entire Penglai Demon Race—it was the name of the Penglai Demon Ancestor!
How could this person be the Penglai Demon Ancestor?
But when Liu Dongyue recounted the Penglai Demon Race’s major and minor affairs in detail, the two had to believe him. Many of the things Liu Dongyue mentioned were Penglai Demon Race secrets, virtually impossible for outsiders to know. Even the Penglai Demon Race’s most secretive General Outline of Cultivation Methods was recited.
Could this human-looking person really be the Penglai Demon Ancestor?
But the Penglai Demon Ancestor is a Demon Saint, while this person is at most in the Profound Connection Realm. Their strength difference is too great.
“I realized I would never reach the Demon God Realm in this life, so I discarded my cultivation and started anew, solely to enter the Demon God’s Domain in this life and lead our Penglai Demon Race to greater heights.” Liu Dongyue sighed dramatically, as if even he believed it himself.
“So that’s it.”
The two were completely moved by Liu Dongyue’s performance.
They hadn’t seen the Penglai Demon Ancestor in the clan lately. They originally thought the Old Ancestor had gone out to cultivate, but unexpectedly, he had done such a great thing.
To bring the Penglai Demon Race to a higher level, he had actually abandoned his proud cultivation and started over.
It’s hard to imagine, but if the Penglai Demon Ancestor truly reaches the Demon God Realm in the future, wouldn’t their Penglai Demon Race truly stand at the peak?
“You two brats, listen to me.” Liu Dongyue said calmly.
“Old Ancestor, your orders.” The two quickly responded respectfully; they no longer doubted Liu Dongyue’s identity.
“This matter must be kept strictly confidential. I don’t want to say much, except that sometimes human hearts are not good, and even those from the same clan cannot be fully trusted. You two little brats, however, I’ve watched grow up, and you are loyal to the clan. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be saying all this nonsense to you today.”
After saying this, the two immediately understood the Penglai Demon Ancestor’s meaning: there are bad people among the masses, and they might know that the Penglai Demon Ancestor no longer has cultivation and harbor ill intentions, doing something detrimental to the Penglai Demon Ancestor.
The two immediately understood the Penglai Demon Ancestor’s meaning: this matter must be kept secret.
“Old Ancestor, rest assured, we will keep the secret!” The two immediately swore.
The Penglai Demon Ancestor is concerned with the future of the entire Penglai Demon Race.
At the same time, the two also appreciated the Penglai Demon Ancestor’s later words. It seems the Old Ancestor trusts them. If in the future the Penglai Demon Ancestor cultivates to the Demon God Realm, they will certainly receive great benefits!
Thinking of this, the two felt happy.
Next, Liu Dongyue indirectly inquired about the recent movements of the Star Envoy, but he didn’t find out anything useful; Ji Hengqiu and the other knew little.
“You may go back.”
“Don’t tell anyone about my business. Also, the taxes from our side…”
“We’ll handle it ourselves.”
The two quickly agreed.
Anyway, it’s just the taxation of Five Directions City; wouldn’t it be enough to collect more from other cities to make up for the deficit?
They are family, how could they ask for money?
“That’s good.”
Liu Dongyue nodded.
It wasn’t until dusk that the two came out of the room. However, outside, people from various clans hadn’t left yet. They wanted to know what was going on and whether Liu Dongyue was real or fake.
“What are you looking at?”
Looking at everyone, Ji Hengqiu said coldly, “We misunderstood before. Liu Dongyue is indeed a member of our clan, and he is the Penglai Demon Ancestor’s personal disciple. Your taxes are waived. Farewell.”
Having said that, the two left directly.
Hearing that Liu Dongyue’s identity was legitimate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Liu Dongyue was fake, they would be in big trouble.
However, at this time, Jin Shengnan of the Golden Lion Tribe looked embarrassed. Ji Hengqiu and the other had left, and now he seemed to be in a difficult position.
Jin Shengnan also noticed that others were looking at him strangely.
So Jin Shengnan gritted his teeth and went into the house to apologize to Liu Dongyue.
Liu Dongyue didn’t bother to argue with Jin Shengnan and didn’t say anything, only letting Jin Shengnan leave.
This made Jin Shengnan even more apprehensive.
Even if Liu Dongyue scolded him, he would feel better. But Liu Dongyue’s silent attitude put Jin Shengnan in a state of inner conflict.
In fact, Liu Dongyue really didn’t have the mood to deal with Jin Shengnan; too much had happened recently.
His Martial Uncle was dead.
Originally, he only wanted to lead these Demon Race members into the Myriad Demon Alliance, then use the Alliance’s power to return to Dongyan Province. But now, he only wanted to cultivate his own power and take revenge for his Martial Uncle.
Since Emperor Yu Yang killed his Martial Uncle, he would make Emperor Yu Yang pay.
So at this moment, Liu Dongyue was preparing to redraw his plans.
Luoshui City.
Li Hanzhou was cultivating in his room.
The medicinal bath water was bluish-green, looking quite weird, but immersed in it, Li Hanzhou could feel the speed of his True Qi surging faster and faster.
His extraordinary meridians were all open.
His cultivation level was now striving for Sixth Rank.
At the same time, two dark figures quietly arrived outside the gates of Xiao Mansion under the cover of night.
And moments later, their figures were already inside Xiao Mansion.
Their lightness skill was extremely agile; they didn’t make a sound.
However, experts still existed within Xiao Mansion. When the two arrived, they immediately caught Zhao Wenxing’s attention.
“Who’s there!”
Zhao Wenxing shouted.
His figure leaped directly onto the rooftop. Facing the two Blood Sacrifice Pavilion assassins, Zhao Wenxing sneered, “So Young Master was telling the truth. Someone really came to assassinate him.”
Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly attacked, aiming straight for Zhao Wenxing’s throat!
Zhao Wenxing dodged, drawing his long sword. Sword light like lightning clashed with the cold light, producing a crisp clang of metal. Sparks flew, illuminating the opponent’s face—a masked person with an icy gaze, holding a short sword whose blade shone with a faint blue light, clearly laced with deadly poison.
