Chapter 169: A Deadly Scheme!

Both Tyler and the male lead can walk out of the secret realm without any hindrance. They thought they had successfully cleared another arc without doing anything.

What they didn't know was, the future arcs had been disrupted when that man who had captured the demonic soul sent the entity inside Kong Bao's body.

And the person who had captured the soul was none other than Shen Qiu. The demonic cultivator had realized it truthfully. This second disciple of Feng Chao was a ruthless bloodthirsty demonic cultivator who had infiltrated the righteous sect to take over the cultivation world. But what he didn't expect was to fall in love with Feng Chao.

This small activity changed his entire life and goal. Slowly, his plan changed to seduce his cold master, who never showed any sign of capturing someone's heart. Even after a hundred years of diligently trying to become a good disciple, his master didn't soften toward him. But whenever Master Feng would glance at his eldest disciple, his eyes would have a trace of warmth that would never be unnoticed by Shen Qiu.

But he also knew that nothing could happen between the two of them. He knew that Master Feng was righteous enough never to touch his disciple, and the latter would also hide his feelings well.

But what he didn't expect was for Chang Hong and Feng Chao to suddenly become dual cultivation partners! What the heck happened between the two of them?! He didn't know. So he was brewing with jealousy.

Earlier, Shen Qiu hadn't planned to destroy the cultivation world since Feng Chao loved this world. So he wanted to allow everyone to live. But now, when his love had been snatched away by everyone else, Shen Qiu couldn't help but want to destroy the entire world!

So he instantly worked on his plan and sent the demonic soul to the sect master's body. The latter also controlled the powerful old man quickly, making Kong Bao his puppet.

Of course, it wasn't easy. But Shen Qiu gave the demon powerful tools to control the sect master.

Now that everything was set, it was time to move his chess pieces.

***

When Tyler and the male lead came out of the secret realm within a month, they were surprised to see that no one had stayed inside the realm, and everyone was out. Their brows furrowed at that. If no one remained inside, then who would be the villain of this world? 

Wouldn't that mean they had changed the entire storyline just like that?!

Tyler and Feng Chao exchanged a glance before walking over toward Kong Bao, who was standing before the crowd with his cold expression.

They couldn't suspect a thing because the sect master always had an icy expression. So they thought they had successfully changed the plot, making it something that not even its mother could recognize.

But they shrugged it off since the system had said that there was no need to go through the arcs. So they'd just live their lives peacefully for hundreds of years in this world.

Tyler felt satisfied with his plan, and his shoulders relaxed, thinking he wouldn't have to work anymore.

'But what about Shen Qiu?' A nagging voice in his head whispered to himself, and he glanced at his junior martial brother, who was standing far away from them.

Maybe they could tell their sect master about how there's a spy here. Kong Bao would deal with Shen Qiu in a better way.

So they all boarded their flying weapons and flew toward their sect. But for some reason, their sect master wanted to hurry back to the sect. Tyler and Feng Chao also saw this but didn't think much about it.

Only Kong Bao knew what he was going through. His internal organs were in pain as demonic energy wreaked havoc in his body.

He wanted to return and meet with other elders, including Feng Chao and tell them about his condition. He feared that he might end up being controlled by this energy inside his body if he would delay.

But he didn't know that the demonic soul could also hear Kong Bao's thoughts. So he chuckled in amusement in the sect master's mind and said, "My dear master, aren't you too late? I'm already controlling your body!"

The sect master didn't believe this soul's words and continued to fly as if nothing happened, suppressing his pain.

It would have been good for this demonic soul if Kong Bao had any malice in his heart. But this sect master was pure. So he had no choice but to force this person into submission with the tools Shen Qiu gave him.

And he knew exactly how to control this master. There was a hidden desire that would have gone unnoticed by him. But after looking at it carefully, he decided to take up the opportunity and strike this person!

"If you don't listen to me, Fang Guozhi will be in grave danger."

Kong Bao's expressions change momentarily, but it reverted to his original cold face. He didn't believe that a tiny soul could dare to do something like this among the sea of righteous cultivators!

But the demonic soul knew what this person was thinking and skillfully said, "I know you love that guy, and I know you've been suppressing your feelings for hundreds of years. But I can control your body and kill that person immediately!"

Even though controlling took a lot of toll on the demonic soul, he could still make the sect master suffer thanks to Shen Qiu's magical tools!

That was when the sect master's face paled. He didn't think this demonic soul could hear his thoughts too! And when he remembered what this demonic soul said, he realized that his deep hidden emotions were seen through so easily by this demon.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Both Fang Guozhi and he had known each other since they were teenagers, and he grew attracted to that guy's charisma. But Kong Bao never pursued the man because he knew they would be the sect masters of different sects. So he couldn't afford to make things difficult for the person he loved.

For all these years, he hid his emotions deep inside his heart, not letting even himself think about it. But now, when this shameless demon brought this topic out, he couldn't help but tremble.
