Urban All-Round Master

On the other side, within the Demon God Sect, after a great battle, both Yao Qingjiao and his companion were only lightly injured by the Buddhist Sect’s Lion Roar.

However... tonight, the sudden appearance of Beiming Yu, rescuing the Buddhist Sect members right before them, was not a good thing for the Demon God Sect.

Even though they didn’t truly reveal their identities, it would inevitably lead to speculation.

”Chengfeng, those two baldy protectors from the Buddhist Sect aren’t dead yet, how should we resolve this? My biggest concern right now is that the Buddhist Sect might join forces with the Holy Hall against our Demon God Sect.”

Yao Qingjiao squinted his eyes, feeling increasingly uneasy the more he thought about it, as if there was something odd about it. If this issue is not resolved perfectly, he feared that the Buddhist Sect and the Holy Hall would unite against a common enemy, making the Demon God Sect very unsafe.

”The Buddhist Sect is not much of a concern, after all, we have already given the Buddha Bone Relics to the Holy Hall. In fact, the Holy Hall poses the greatest threat to our Demon God Sect. Since the Buddha Bone Relics are with them, to prevent us from revealing the matter, they will surely strike against us first. Once our Demon God Sect no longer exists, the issue of the Buddha Bone Relics will remain hidden within the Holy Hall.”

”Yes. I think the same. You know, only our Demon God Sect and the Holy Hall know about the Buddha Bone Relics. Once our sect is annihilated, no one will ever know about it again.

But the problem is... the Buddhist Sect is now on good terms with the Holy Hall. Tonight, Beiming Yu rescued these two protectors of great power from the Buddhist Sect, and they are bound to form an alliance, which will inevitably threaten us.

Moreover... judging by the Holy Hall’s approach, they definitely won’t let us inform the Buddhist Sect about the Buddha Bone Relics deal before causing trouble for us.”

”Sect Master need not panic. Although tonight’s action failed, you mustn’t forget that the Buddhist Sect has no evidence proving that we orchestrated the massacre of the Buddhist Sect years ago. Besides, even if the Buddha Bone Relics were indeed sent by us, who can prove the massacre was our doing?

By then, we’ll just say the Shariputra was given to our Demon God Sect by someone else, and we just happened to know about the Buddhist Sect massacre and handed the Buddha Bone Relics to the Holy Hall to avoid trouble, hoping they would handle it, only to have them claim it for themselves.”

In Yao Chenfeng’s view, as long as no one can prove they were the real culprits behind the Buddhist Sect massacre, no matter how much the Buddhist Sect and Holy Hall investigate, they won’t find a thing. Most of the people involved in the massacre are long gone.

More of them were killed by their allies, and finding the true culprits behind the massacre is like searching for a needle in a haystack, incredibly difficult and unpredictable.

”Hey, I’m just afraid that kid from the Holy Hall might return. Although his chances of coming back are slim, you must know he’s a big variable. There have been unexpected twists on more than one occasion with him. I fear that his return might mark a difficult day for our Demon God Sect.”

Thinking of this, Yao Qingjiao couldn’t help but sigh. He knew Lin Zifeng’s purpose for going out this time, but he hadn’t thought about when he might return, planting a shadow in his heart. He was afraid of Lin Zifeng.

Once Lin Zifeng returns, he will surely target the Demon God Sect. Now that the Buddhist Sect is already looking for trouble, the Demon God Sect hopes to use the Buddhist Sect’s hand to inflict mutual damage on the Holy Hall—a thought the Holy Hall is already aware of. But right now, the Holy Hall seeks stability without seeking expansion breakthroughs. Once the Killing God Demon, Lin Zifeng, returns, it will be challenging to predict the outcome...

”To dare to find the entrance to the Dark Prison in the West. I fear he might already be dead even before finding that entrance. Even if he truly finds it, do you think he can return?

Heh~ I must admit this kid is indeed a rare genius in Huaxia’s history for five hundred years. But alas, even a genius needs some stability. Yet, this kid loves courting death, constantly struggling in adversity. Although he’s often escaped by the skin of his teeth many times.

Yet... constantly walking by the river, how can one not get wet? This new entrance eruption in the Dark Prison might not see the return of even the Saints. The Sect Master can rest assured and not dwell on this matter.”

Although knowing the likelihood of Lin Zifeng’s survival and return is slim, Yao Qingjiao harbored too many concerns. During this time, every instance of Lin Zifeng was a miraculous comeback, proving his worth through sheer strength.

Perhaps... this time might be no exception...

Upon seeing this, Yao Chenfeng’s stern brow slightly furrowed, his lips moved, his thoughts complex, wanting to continue persuading the Sect Master, but saying too much was merely to console themselves.

After all, what he said was mere comfort even to himself, unsure if Lin Zifeng could return alive and whether he would pose a significant threat to the Demon God Sect.

But as of now... the Buddhist Sect has arrived, and if they ally with the current Holy Hall, the threat will be at our doorstep...

Pondering over this the whole day, these two mighty figures of the Demon God Sect couldn’t enjoy good meals or good tea...

Meanwhile, the Holy Hall remained steady, with everyone going about their business.

The two protectors of great power from the Buddhist Sect, treated generously by Beiming Yu, agreed to stay at the Holy Hall until the truth was uncovered, after which they would report to the top of the Buddhist Sect.

If the true culprits behind the Buddhist Sect’s massacre and the looting of many Secret Sect items and the Buddha Bone Relics were related to the Demon God Sect, the Buddhist Sect would not stand idly by.

In the Buddhist Sect’s words: Whatever seeds are planted, so shall be the harvest...

Beiming Yu had begun laying plans, with the Buddhist Sect witnessing the vile faces of the Demon God Sect firsthand, which played right into her intentions. Eventually, the Holy Hall might indeed execute the Demon God Sect.

Who would still come forward to plead for the Demon God Sect?

Meanwhile, far away in the Dark Prison in the West, after the appearance of the final layer’s king, everyone was bound with the dangling iron chains he wielded.

Even powerful figures like the Demon Nature Holy War, the Supreme Emperor, and Shika were restrained by the enormous spatial iron chains. If not for Shika saving Lin Zifeng at the critical moment, even the owner of these massive chains would have ensnared him.

At the top of the three-layered Iron Tower stood a tall and imposing man with long black hair, clad in a tight-fitting black outfit, eyes as dark and profound as the stars. His chiseled face exuded an extraordinary air of heroism. Who exactly was such an imposing figure?
