Chapter 246 - I Want to Hear You Say It
On the way to the Zhuoxin Temple, an unremarkable demon cultivator glanced around, silently reduced his flying speed, and gradually fell to the end of the line.
His name was Niu Jinmao.
He was the Sect Master of the Prison God True Tower.
He came to Ye Yu’s side, and quietly handed him a bottle of elixir.
Communicating through voice transmission, he said, “This is the White Rainbow Evil Pill, which is highly beneficial for a cultivator’s physique. Please accept it.”
“I only have one question: how do you manage to have four Tribulation Crossing fairies as your Dao companions? Is there any secret to it that you can share?”
Ye Yu decisively accepted the elixir, and also replied via voice transmission, “Sincerity is the ultimate skill!”
The simple five words sounded very reasonable.
Upon reflection, they seemed even more astonishing.
Exchanging sincerity for sincerity surely makes one invincible.
But after further consideration, Niu Jinmao felt something was off.
This method was just a general direction.
But how to implement it?
That was a big question.
After much thought, Niu Jinmao reluctantly took out a set of black robes from his storage ring and handed them to Ye Yu.
“This robe was just made, a high-grade artifact. It is impervious to water and fire, invulnerable to blades and swords, maintains a constant temperature, and can block all attacks below the Nascent Soul Realm. Please accept it!”
“However, please explain a bit more. Old Niu is not very bright, and it would be best if you could elaborate on the specific method.”
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
He accepted the gift without hesitation and put it into his storage ring.
“Different times, different environments, and different people require different approaches. The most important thing is to be perceptive. Respond flexibly!”
“If you don’t understand this, it’s alright. Go into practical experience! Practical experience will make you progress faster!”
After hearing these words, a hint of clarity appeared in Niu Jinmao’s confused eyes.
It was as if he had suddenly realized something.
His mind was now focused on two words: practical experience!
It really was true—listening to a wise man’s words was better than reading books for ten years!
Niu Jinmao immediately bowed deeply to Ye Yu. His attitude was extremely respectful.
Their unusual interaction also drew the attention of several nearby demons.
One of them asked, “Sect Master Niu, what are you doing?”
“Do you live by the sea? Why are you meddling so much?”
Niu Jinmao’s face showed displeasure as he retorted.
He did not want to share this romantic experience with others. It was all earned with precious items. How could he let others obtain it so easily?
Even if it was a comrade-in-arms.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the Zhuoxin Temple.
As soon as they landed, Tao Shanen personally arranged rooms for Ye Yu and Lin Fengyuan to rest.
Neither of them refused. Instead, they followed the temple’s disciples away.
After watching them leave, Tao Shanen’s expression instantly turned extremely dark.
This surprised the remaining six demonic sect masters.
Niu Jinmao asked curiously, “Sect Master Tao, what’s wrong?”
Tao Shanen waved his wide sleeves.
Using a teleportation technique, the seven of them instantly arrived inside the main hall of the Zhuoxin Temple.
But that was not all. Tao Shanen then set up several soundproof barriers.
Only then did he angrily slam his fist on the table.
“Thirty thousand years of suppression has left Lin Fengyuan with no fighting spirit. He has become a timid person!”
“Sect Masters, we need to take action and help Lin Fengyuan regain his will to fight!”
As it turned out, along the journey, it wasn’t just Niu Jinmiao and Ye Yu secretly communicating.
Tao Shanen was not idle either. He had also been probing Lin Fengyuan, asking about his plans for the future.
If willing, Tao Shanen could host a convention for the demonic path, inviting all the demonic sects from the Central Continent to elect Lin Fengyuan as their leader.
He firmly believed that under Lin Fengyuan’s leadership, it wouldn’t take long to unify the entire Central Continent!
The vision that Tao Shanen painted for Lin Fengyuan was grand and magnificent. He had expected him to agree willingly.
But unexpectedly, Lin Fengyuan stated that he was tired of a life of fighting.
After staying at the Zhuoxin Temple for a few days, he planned to find a place to live in seclusion, to settle his debts, and no longer concern himself with the trivial matters of good and evil.
Tao Shanen was stunned.
Was thirty thousand years of suppression to end so pointlessly?
That was a full thirty thousand years!
Facing this problem, Lin Fengyuan remained silent for a long time, then expressed that it was all in the past. He only wanted to rest now.
With this, Tao Shanen could not say more. He could only return here with a heavy heart.
After Lin Fengyuan departed, he finally released the anger he had been holding inside.
Upon hearing Tao Shanen’s account, Niu Jinmao and the other six furrowed their brows.
The reason they hadn’t returned to their own sects, but had followed Tao Shanen to the Zhuoxin Temple was to seek revenge for today!
That person was undoubtedly Lin Fengyuan. They had even placed their hopes for the revival of the demonic path on him.
But unexpectedly, the result turned out to be like this.
Who could endure such a thing?
In the battle at the Zhenmo Mountain, though the sect masters of the five great sacred lands were in peril, they emerged unscathed.
On the other hand, the demonic path suffered heavy losses.
Yet despite this, Luo Ze, Tang Shaojin, and the other sect masters of the sacred lands were certainly still enraged.
It is to be expected that It won’t be long before the Azure Cloud Sect and the Xiaoyao Palace, along with other sacred lands, will surely join forces to launch a demon-hunting campaign.
By then, their situation will become even more difficult, and they might even lose their lives as a result.
This was not the outcome they wanted.
Thus, another demon spoke in a deep voice, “Sect Master Tao, what should we do now? You make the decision. We’ll follow your lead!”
Tao Shanen remained silent. Instead, he turned his gaze to the others.
The remaining five demon sect masters all spoke in unison, “We look to Sect Master Tao for guidance. Please, make the decision!”
“Alright, if we are to act, let’s make it a grand one. If we succeed, our paths in the future will be smooth.”
“If not, each of us will accept our fate!”
Tao Shanen’s voice was low and his tone deliberate.
The other demons also displayed serious expressions.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Zhuoxin Temple, Ye Yu and Lin Fengyuan’s rooms were adjacent.
In this demon sect, Ye Yu couldn’t sleep no matter what.
So, after pondering for a long time, he decisively went to Lin Fengyuan’s room.
This time, Ye Yu decided to take the initiative!
“Do you still remember the promise you made to my Ye family?”
Though Lin Fengyuan was puzzled by Ye Yu’s sudden question, she nodded and said, “Of course I remember. I also know why you came to me. So, rest assured, I won’t go back on that promise!”
Ye Yu said earnestly, “I want you to repeat that promise again! I need to hear you say it yourself. Only then can I truly be at ease!”
