Chapter 684 “Can’t Let Her Live (7)”

Bai Yan’s complexion had gone dark over the claim.

The demon lord…. Does he mean Di Cang? But then who would be the leader of the gods?

All of a sudden, her mind remembers back to the battlefield where she dreamed of a encounter with that white dashing figure.

Can it be… the white figure from there is their leader?

“But what does this goddess have to do with the great war between gods and demons?”

“Now that’s something you don’t know. This goddess isn’t only the mistress of the four sacred beasts, she’s also the woman whom the demon lord and celestial lord fancied. But unlike the two men, the goddess herself only wanted an ordinary life with a regular man, that’s how she encountered our young lord and fancied him!”

Bai Yan became stupefied on the spot.

Immediately, a chill spreads across her body and causing that gaze to grow sharp.

The mistress of the four sacred beasts?

How funny… according to Suzaku’s telling, the four sacred beasts have always been my people!

Did I just get someone impersonating me?

And the reason for all this nonsense is to rob a man?

Perhaps able to sense the frosty air exuding out of Bai Yan’s dreaded face too, Senior Mu’s soul shrank into a tight ball out of fear right then. Did I say something wrong?

“Go on, keep speaking.” Pursing her lip, she urges the old man to continue.

Seeing his captor having no intention of instilling her fury upon him, the senior issues a immediate sigh of relief: “Because of that reasoning, the chief wanted to bring the young lord back from his travels. To complete the task, Elder Muzhen was then ordered with the mission to go in place of the chief. That’s where she learned of the mundane female getting into a relationship with the young lord. Naturally Muzhen wanted to break the relationship off by proposing drastic means to everyone, but Zhongnan and Zhongbei objected to the idea and blocked it off along with the chief’s consent.”

“So that’s the reason why Muzhen is filled with hatred for my two shifus?” Drooping her eyes, a lamenting light flickers within Bai Yan’s pupil over the silly reason for the enmity.

“Of course that’s not the only reason, it’s what came afterwards that enraged her. The chief knew his son well so he grew suspicious of Muzhen’s story. To confirm the truth, he sent Zhongnan afterwards to bring back the young lord. The act alone was considered to be a insult, hence the bitter resentment.”

When the story reached up to this part, Bai Yan’s lip had undoubtedly curved into a smirk for she could already guess what’s to come: “And according to Muzhen’s personality and character, she didn’t stop did she?”

“Of course not! The elder sent her own people in secret and assassinated the girl in question. Afterwards she just coined up a fake story saying the girl ran off to marry another mundane due to her falling into temptation. The only reason the lie even worked in the first place was because that person didn’t reveal her background so Zhongnan’s had no way to locate the mentioned female in the story.”

Senior Mu’s seen firsthand how cruel Bai Yan could be so he didn’t leave anything out from the incident from years ago. Though the old man himself didn’t participate in the mission, he’s still a close confidant so many details are privy to his ear. But its also because of this reason that he didn’t realize something was very wrong. For example, the woman in front of himself right now had a very strong resemblance to the girl from back then!

“Then what about my shifu’s injury, is it her doing as well?” Musing for a moment, Bai Yan asks again.

Considering her own ability and insight, there’s no way she couldn’t see through to the hidden injuries suffered by Zhongnan and Zhongbei. It’s very likely the reason why the two elders are stuck at their current level and unable to progress.

“Yes, that’s exactly it. Before that incident, the two brothers are both the first to enter into the middle level of the Monarch Rank and are both leading figures of the elder council. But since they’re not the type to be suspicious of others, Muzhen was able to secretly plot against them and caused their progress to stall without further advances.”

Squinting her eyes, Bai Yan’s gaze now carried a gleam wanting to kill: “Then why does she want to kill me? Is it just because I took them both as my shifu?”

“In Elder Muzhen’s mind, the two brothers owed her way too much and could never atone for their sins. To repay them back for this fact, she murdered their first disciple.”

Inhaling deeply at the last bit, Bai Yan finally got it and didn’t need anymore information: “Fine then, out of consideration for the honesty you showed, I won’t destroy your soul.”
