Chapter 84: 84: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (19)



Li Tang: “I really…”

He paused, his eyes slightly dimming.

“There was this one time Zhao Yue… provoked me, and I got a little angry, so I took action,” Li Tang said in a low voice.

“Getting angry won’t solve the problem,” Chuzheng pointed out.

“…” Zhao Yue insulted his mother, who was the mother that loved and protected him. How could he not get angry?

Chuzheng asked, “Zhao Yue’s intelligence is not enough to discover it, so what else happened?”

Li Tang also felt that, with Zhao Yue’s intelligence, he definitely couldn’t have discovered it.

He carefully reminisced about what happened that day.

Zhao Yue often harassed him for no reason, and that day was no different, but then Zhao Yue suddenly brought up his mother.

Then he took action; at that moment, he wanted to kill Zhao Yue.

And then…

“Song Fenglan.”

Song Fenglan is Young Master Song’s sister and the eldest daughter of the Song Family; technically, he should call her his cousin.

Since childhood, Song Fenglan was favored by an Elder of the Ziyun Sect, taken in as a personal disciple, and she should not recognize him.

And this was also an important reason why the Song Family could do as they pleased in Shangning City.

“Oh.” The heart’s blood sister of Lin Chen, still wanting her body.

Coveting someone’s body in broad daylight, it’s simply a distortion of human nature!

“But, this happened almost two months ago, and I’m not sure.” If he had been discovered at that time, why did it take two months for such an uproar to occur?

If it wasn’t that incident, Li Tang truly couldn’t think of when he might have exposed himself.

Seeing that Chuzheng remained silent, Li Tang frowned, “Did I cause you trouble?”

“Hmm.”

Chuzheng replied without a second thought, of course it was trouble, and not just a little.

Li Tang: “…”

“…I’m sorry.” Li Tang clenched his fists tight; he was still too weak.

Chuzheng looked at him, her lips parting slightly.

The King’s Account quickly spoke up to stop her, [Miss, don’t talk rashly, be careful not to upset him, he’s very fragile.]

Chuzheng: “…”

He can’t be beaten, scolded, or even spoken to harshly?!

Should I find him a temple to stay in?

[…Why find a temple?] The King’s Account was confused.

To worship him!

[…] Why does Miss want to be mean to it, it’s also having a hard time, you know! So annoying! Too annoying!!

Chuzheng told him to leave the matter alone; for the time being, no one would come to cause trouble.

Her Spirit Stone was not given for free.

Li Tang returned to his room with heavy thoughts.

He never wanted to cause her trouble, but in the end, he still made her unhappy.

Night fell.

Li Tang heard a knock on the door; it was only him and Chuzheng at North Spirit Peak, so Li Tang quickly went to open the door.

Chuzheng stood there with a cold expression, handing him a hexagonal bell, golden and exquisitely crafted, clearly not ordinary.

“What’s this?”

“The jade is broken, this is to replace it.”

Li Tang took it, noticing that although the bell had a clapper inside, it made no sound when shaken.

“Why is there no sound?”

“You can’t hear it for now,” Chuzheng bluntly struck Li Tang.

Li Tang: “…”

Knowing his own limitations, Li Tang did not retort; he fell silent for a moment, then, holding the bell, he said he was going to cultivate.

He turned around and went back to his room, stepping into the Demon Attracting Formation. Compared to the previous Demon Attracting Formations, the present one was richer with demonic Qi.

He knew she had been improving the Demon Attracting Formation, but sometimes he genuinely worried that one day she might mess it up.

Her concept of the Demon Attracting Formation stemmed entirely from the Spirit Attracting Formation, and it was very possible she had learned it through underhanded means.

If things went awry, before long, everyone in the sect would learn that there were members of the Demon Clan on North Spirit Peak.

Li Tang’s mood grew increasingly somber.

After such a long time, he still had found no news about his father… and his strength had not progressed much either; he couldn’t let his guard down.

Li Tang began to cultivate more intensely, day and night.

Two days later, an Elder from the Law Enforcement Hall personally came to inform him that Sun Fei’s death was unrelated to Li Tang, and was the doing of another disciple.

Normally, Sun Fei and Li Tang didn’t get along, so after the disciple committed the murder, they pinned the blame on Li Tang.

Chuzheng did not accept or refute this explanation, and indifferently sent the Law Enforcement Hall Elder on his way.

After this incident, Li Tang seldom left North Spirit Peak, and he immersed himself in cultivation all day long.

Chuzheng walked in circles outside the door.

Could one become a fool from too much cultivation?

If that led to deviation, whose fault would it be?

A month later.

People from the main peak were sent to invite Chuzheng over.

Li Tang emerged from his closed-door cultivation just in time to see this. He hesitated, wondering whether to follow, when the messenger also mentioned his name.

Chuzheng walked ahead with an indifferent expression, while Li Tang, seeing the leading disciple was a good distance away, drew closer to her: “At this time, calling us to the main peak, is there something going on?”

“Yes.”

“???” So what is it? Could it be related to Sun Fei’s case? Or has their Demon Clan identity been exposed?

Chuzheng had no intention of explaining, leaving Li Tang to calm down on his own.

The pavilions and terraces of the main peak were shrouded in immortal Qi, resembling the Immortal Realm.

The disciple leading the way gestured for them to enter the hall: “Please come inside, both of you.”

Inside the hall, several people were seated, with an imposing middle-aged man at the prime seat—the Sect Master of Ziyun Sect.

Centered around the Sect Master and arranged in a fan-shaped stepladder configuration, each step was occupied by one person.

These were the Elders of Ziyun Sect.

Song Fenglan stood behind one of the Elders, looking worried.

Lin Chen stood in the middle, accompanied by several disciples, kneeling on the ground, giving off an ominous atmosphere.

As Chuzheng and Li Tang entered, Song Fenglan’s expression changed slightly, showing shock mixed with other complex emotions.

Lin Chen, however, was staring at the ground, seemingly lost in thought.

And on the ground lay a corpse.

Without a sideways glance, Chuzheng walked over and stood in the middle, directly opposite the corpse.

She remained silent, simply looking at the Sect Master.

The Sect Master, composed at first, began to feel uneasy under Chuzheng’s gaze after a while, and, resting a fist on his lips, he gave a light cough.

“Miss Chuzheng, we have summoned you here today because there is something we wish to inquire about,” he said.

“Ask,” Chuzheng responded, adhering to her usual brevity of using as few words as possible.

The Sect Master looked at the Elders and said, “Does Miss Chuzheng recognize the person on the ground?”

In cooperation, Chuzheng glanced at the body and denied, “I do not.”

The Sect Master paused, “Does Young Master Li Tang recognize him?”

The body on the ground was none other than Zhao Yue.

Chuzheng’s claim of not recognizing him was plausible, given she rarely left North Spirit Peak, but Li Tang was different, as he had always been in the Outer Sect.

Li Tang nodded, “I recognize him.”

How did Zhao Yue end up dead?

Li Tang couldn’t understand this point, nor did he know how this matter was related to them.

The Sect Master nodded, then instructed a disciple to explain the current situation.

Zhao Yue had been found dead this morning and the prime suspect was Lin Chen. He was singled out because an item indicative of Lin’s identity was discovered at Zhao Yue’s death scene.

“We’ve summoned Miss Chuzheng and Young Master Li Tang because the way in which Lin Chen’s suspicion has been confirmed is exactly the same as how Young Master Li Tang’s suspicion was confirmed after Sun Fei’s death,” an Elder spoke up.
