Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Accessing Memories, Yuzhu Appears, Hall Master’s Wary
After Wang Zhong was cursed and died, his soul turned into Evil Qi.
They originally existed in his mind, but later, Ye Feng used a Secret Technique to disperse them into the nearby void.
Otherwise, this Evil Qi would have been taken away with the corpse.
“Let’s see, what kind of information can I obtain from the memory fragments of Wang Zhong.”
Ye Feng whispered to himself.
He stretched out his hand and lightly tapped one of the Evil Qi vortices.
Buzz!
The Evil Qi was devoured by Slaughter Energy.
Immediately after, many memory fragments were browsed by Ye Feng, flashing before his eyes like a revolving lantern, revealing much useful information.
Half an incense stick of time later.
The vortex of Evil Qi in Ye Feng’s palm completely disappeared.
Although the Slaughter Energy in his body had grown much stronger, Ye Feng’s expression had become significantly more solemn.
“So, the Demon God Temple Master had Wang Zhong kidnap me to interrogate about the news of “Seven Steps to Heaven”.”
“Moreover, from Wang Zhong’s memory scenes, it appears that the Demon God Temple Master has also cultivated this powerful Divine Skill.”
“However, the aura of the Demon God Temple Master is not as pure as mine, which means he has only learned half of this Divine Skill. In a battle of the same rank, I can suppress him.”
Thinking this, Ye Feng suddenly realized.
He knew!
It must be because he had displayed the full power of “Seven Steps to Heaven” in the battle at the Royal Capital, which caught the attention of the Demon God Temple Master, or perhaps… jealousy?
Hence, he wanted to target Ye Feng.
“However, this matter may not be that simple.”
“Emperor Beihe’s origins are mysterious, and there are many who spy on this Divine Skill. In the future, I need to be more cautious.”
Ye Feng whispered to himself.
He pushed open the door and walked out of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.
Looking down at the disciples who were still organizing the sect’s internal affairs, Ye Feng spotted a familiar figure.
Wang Xuanping!
At that moment, she was holding a mop, soaked in water, and just like the other disciples, she was cleaning the Sect Main Plaza.
“This person is an undercover agent of the Soul-Devouring Clan.”
“And Emperor Beihe’s lingering will once said that “Seven Steps to Heaven” is specifically used to suppress the Soul-Devouring Clan.”
“Therefore, her infiltrating the Misty Sect could very likely also be an attempt to find out news about Emperor Beihe.”
“But even I don’t know the detailed information about Emperor Beihe; their probing here is doomed to be in vain.”
Thinking this, Ye Feng almost burst out laughing.
The highest level of secrecy is when even he does not know the secret!
…
Under the night sky.
The Demon God Temple Master finished his deduction.
Spurt!
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and beneath his mask, his eyes turned icy cold; the surrounding void seemed to be enveloped by eternal frost, sending chills that made one’s hair stand on end.
“I’ve been backfired!”
The Demon God Temple Master said in a hoarse voice.
He had expended his energy to perform a remote deduction of the entire day’s events at the Misty Sect, saw Wang Zhong’s imposing demeanor at the Sect Main Plaza, and the scene of the two Elders taking action.
Of course, he also saw the moment of Wang Zhong’s violent death.
However, no matter how the Demon God Temple Master deduced, he could not calculate who had killed Wang Zhong from afar.
This situation was exceedingly strange.
In the end, when he expanded the range of his deduction, he suddenly suffered backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Even I, at the Fourth Layer of the Void Break Realm, cannot deduce it. Could it be that Emperor Beihe has intervened?”
The Demon God Temple Master felt apprehensive.
After pondering for a moment, he ceased his deduction.
“Misty Sect’s Sect Master Ye Feng, he was able to perfectly unleash the power of “Seven Steps to Heaven”, there must be an expert guiding him from behind. Otherwise, a mere Half-step Void Break could not possibly have greater insight than mine.”
The Demon God Temple Master stood up.
Pacing back and forth in the hall for a long time, he pushed open the door and stepped out, looking at the clear night sky, where he could see billions of dazzling stars.
At that moment, a figure appeared in the night sky, gliding through the air.
The visitor was a graceful and beautiful fairy.
“Yuzhu!”
The Demon God Temple Master, seeing the woman, hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Yuzhu, the top disciple under Jiaoyang Ancient Saint, a terrifying existence of high rank in the Void Break Realm, had once fought in the starry sky, annihilating countless foreign Elders, with a formidable reputation.
“Master has sent me a message, saying there is something he needs in the Mystique Kingdom, do you, wish to lay your hands on it?”
The voice of Yuzhu was very calm.
But to the ears of the Demon God Temple Master, it sounded incredibly cold, like countless ice blades were placed against his neck.
“I wouldn’t dare!”
The Demon God Temple Master’s heart shuddered.
He bowed his head, his face under the mask already covered in sweat beads.
After a long time, he raised his head, but where in the sky was Yuzhu’s graceful figure to be found?
She had long since departed.
“Damn it, I’ve actually stepped into a minefield!”
The Demon God Temple Master’s face was solemn.
He was certain that the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint wouldn’t be interested in “Seven Steps to Heaven”, it was just that, coincidentally, there was something inside the Mystique Kingdom that the Ancient Saint needed.
And he had sent Wang Zhong to the Misty Sect, which might have just intersected with what the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint needed.
Therefore, Yuzhu came in person to warn him.
“Could it be the thing the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint needs is the Misty Sect? No, a newly advanced Two-Star Sect could not possibly… Or could it be that there is something near the Misty Sect?”
“It seems that the backlash I suffered was because I touched upon this mysterious taboo!”
The Demon God Temple Master pondered.
He was not foolish.
With a little association, he could guess many things.
But even if he knew something, facing the warning from Yuzhu, he did not dare to act recklessly.
“Forget it, I can’t go to the Mystique Kingdom, but one day, when Ye Feng leaves the Mystique Kingdom, I might try to strike in secret.”
The Demon God Temple Master murmured.
…
Three days later.
The news of the Misty Sect’s advancement to Two-Star Rank spread far and wide.
In the streets and alleys of the major cities of the Mystique Kingdom, everyone was buzzing about the eerie happenings at the Misty Sect’s celebration.
“A Seventh Layer Divine Origin Realm Great Power died suddenly?”
“In my opinion, this is a divine punishment.”
“Seems like the Misty Sect is protected by the will of heaven and earth, no wonder Sect Master Ye is the Chosen One. It’s just a pity that he has lost all his cultivation. I’m afraid he won’t live beyond a hundred years, right?”
“Impossible, Sect Master Ye has immense luck, he will surely live as long as a tortoise, for ten thousand years!”
“Pah, what are you talking about? How can a tortoise be compared to Sect Master Ye? If he heard this, I’m afraid he’d be furious to death.”
People from various forces discussed this fervently.
Tianji Pavilion.
Xiao Fangu had already returned to this place.
He relayed the news he had gathered from the outside world to Paper Fan Young Master and Zhu Yongfu, leaving them in silence for a long while.
“The Misty Sect truly received the support of two elders, but the Demon God Temple has actually made a move… Should we, perhaps, encourage the Demon God Temple to continue taking action against the Misty Sect?”
Zhu Yongfu suggested.
“No rush, let’s deduce it first.”
Paper Fan Young Master took out a hundred strands of Evil Qi, formed hand seals, and a mirror-like surface appeared before him.
But quickly, the mirror shattered.
He could not deduce anything.
“This is bad!”
Paper Fan Young Master’s face turned ashen, “If we go and persuade the Demon God Temple to act against the Misty Sect, we will face catastrophe.”
“How can this be?”
Zhu Yongfu and Xiao Fangu looked incredulous.
Paper Fan Young Master shook his head, saying, “This is the result of the deduction, from today on, we in the Tianji Pavilion must continue to lie low.”
“Yes,” Xiao Fangu nodded.
Zhu Yongfu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Pavilion Master, our stock of Spirit Stones is running low, what should we do?”
“Fool, use your pig’s brain to think. With your Deduction Technique, would you lack Spirit Stones? Quickly deduce the location of a treasure, and then go and reap it,” Paper Fan Young Master scolded.
“Yes, yes, yes,” Zhu Yongfu immediately began to deduce.
Watching Zhu Yongfu losing more hair, Xiao Fangu swallowed hard, secretly vowing never to practice the Deduction Technique.
Otherwise, his thick, long hair would be gone.
“Why don’t you practice the Deduction Technique?” asked Zhu Yongfu, who just turned his head and saw Xiao Fangu,
Xiao Fangu’s complexion changed dramatically, “My aptitude is dull, I wouldn’t be able to learn it, forget it!”
