Chapter 276: Chapter 275: Not a Single Truthful Word

Translator: 549690339

It’s been three and a half years since Yu Feng joined the sect.

These years, the fifth Elder Brother has had a terrible time, with the third and fourth Elder Brothers conspiring against him both openly and secretly.

For some unexplained reason, the fourth Elder Brother keeps coming to his place to pick Spirit Plants. While it would be fine if he picked unimportant ones, unfortunately, certain parts he picked are integral to a large array.

After the fourth Elder Brother picks them, Yu Feng needs to replant them.

The array made up of the root system of Spirit Plants is particularly specific, corresponding to the patterns of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Not just any Spirit Plant can be planted anywhere, for example, where Yu Feng picked the Common Lotus, only the Common Lotus could be planted.

Planting other Spirit Plants won’t serve the purpose of the Array Eye.

He bleeds internally every time the fourth Elder Brother picks a Spirit Plant.

Just you wait, once I contact the real Master, I will coordinate a full crackdown on all of you. Fourth Elder Brother, you will be the first to die!

Fifth Elder Brother looks at Fourth Elder Brother as if at a corpse.

The problem with Fourth Elder Brother is not the most significant, the real issue lies with Third Elder Brother.

Yu Feng, for some unknown reasons, showed the Spirit Plant Manual to Third Elder Brother, who found the hidden Cultivation Technique in it.

The worst part is that the technique cannot control cultivators of the same level.

As a mid-Golden Core Stage cultivator, he can easily control Yu Feng, who is at the Foundation Establishment Stage using the technique.

But he cannot control Third Elder Brother, who is also at the mid-Golden Core Stage.

The shrewd Third Elder Brother, recognizing his control over Yu Feng and his intent to scheme against their fellow cultivator through the technique, confronted him.

He had thought that Third Elder Brother was going to expose him, but instead, Third Elder Brother proposed a coalition.

They both agreed to conspire against their fellow cultivator.

While forming an alliance was beneficial, the problem was that Third Elder Brother might break through to the late Golden Core Stage at any time and control him instead!

“What an absolute nightmare!”

Ever since Yu Feng joined, Fifth Elder Brother’s life had been in disorder.

“Junior Brother, this flower is quite nice, I’ll take it. Here’s your Spirit Stone.” Fourth Elder Brother shouted from afar, casually picking the flower for Yu Feng’s alchemical use.

A Spirit Stone, really? The flower you just plucked is priceless, do you know that!

Fifth Elder Brother couldn’t stand it anymore and stormed off angrily to find Third Elder Brother.

“Third Elder Brother, let’s get rid of Fourth Elder Brother!”

Third Elder Brother puzzled, “Why? He only picked a few plants, why are you so upset? Also, didn’t he give you a Spirit Stone?”

You fool, can a Spirit Stone weaken our Master’s magic talisman? It would be better if the array didn’t work, otherwise, our fellow cultivator might retaliate and kill us.

These thoughts remained in Fifth Elder Brother’s mind, and he refrained from revealing the truth.

His Spirit Plant Array was his ace in the hole, he couldn’t divulge this secret to anyone.

“If you could help me get rid of Fourth Elder Brother, from now on, I’ll cooperate completely with you!” Fifth Elder Brother gritted his teeth.

Not only did Fourth Elder Brother disrupt his plans, but he also wholeheartedly supported Master. Fourth Elder Brother is the biggest hurdle in betraying Master’s plan.

He even suspected that Fourth Elder Brother had discovered his and Third Elder Brother’s plot but kept it from their fellow cultivators.

In short, Fourth Elder Brother must die!

“Alright.” Seeing no downside but plenty of benefits for him, Third Elder Brother agreed.

Seeing Third Elder Brother’s agreement, Fifth Elder Brother let out a cold laugh. Cooperate with you? Wait till I activate the Spirit Plant Array and summon our real Master. By then, it would depend on my mood whether you live or die.

Third Elder Brother laughed coldly to himself too. The naive Fifth Elder Brother did not know our Master had suffered a secret injury and has become much weaker. Preparing various contingencies based on our Master’s peak strength, he is bound to be unprepared right now.

Though he was aware of our Master’s actual Nascent Soul Stage strength and prepared fewer contingencies than Fifth Elder Brother, he was however, ready.

The first to strike will be the ultimate winner.

The two Elder Brothers, with hidden motives, shook hands indicating they were in agreement.

“Junior Brother, here are the medicinal plants you need.” Fourth Elder Brother handed the freshly picked plants over to Yu Feng.

Over these three and a half years, Yu Feng had produced many pills that increased Fourth Brother’s power, for instance, those that expand consciousness and solidify the base, far exceeding the power of ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivators.

Fourth Elder Brother was the most powerful one among the three Elder Brothers.

He noticed that Junior Brother trusted him very much. Whenever there was a good pill recipe, he would tell him immediately. He would gather herbs, and the Junior Brother would refine pills.

The two of them made a great team.

However, there was a regrettable point. Junior Brother always maintained some vigilance against him, so he never disclosed the technique to turn danger into safety to him.

Fourth Elder Brother secretly had a plan that would make Junior Brother pass the technique on to him.

He planned to invite enemies and when they arrived, he would flee with his Junior Brother. Then “to be better able to avoid danger” could be used as an excuse to teach him the technique.

Other than the downfall of the sect, there were no other losses. It was a perfect plan.

Yu Feng was engrossed in understanding the Truth of the Talisman. Thanks to the Foundation Establishment Pill, he had just broken through to the Golden Core Stage.

These past three and a half years have also been tough for Yu Feng, encountering disaster time and again.

Training so hard that he almost fell into madness, learning Corpse Driving Technique, and narrowly avoiding becoming a zombie…

Thankfully, Jiang Li is here, turning dangers into safety and protecting him from harm.

“Fourth Elder Brother, you…” Yu Feng, seeing the Fourth Elder Brother, hesitated a bit.

“What’s the matter?” Fourth Elder Brother grew anxious.

He knew as Junior Brother’s cultivation power grew, he could predict other people’s fortune.

“You have an enormous disaster looming over!” Uttered Yu Feng, hesitating, he could hardly believe that someone as good as Fourth Elder Brother could meet with such a calamity.

“What!” Fourth Elder Brother grew more anxious, as per Yu Feng’s prediction, his chance of survival is bordering on one in a million.

“Do you know where this disaster comes from?”

Yu Feng calculated absent-mindedly: “How could it be them?”

“Who?”

“It’s… it’s Third Elder Brother and Fifth Elder Brother. We’ve all been fellow students and brothers, greeting each other with smiles in the past. They’re good men, how, how could they…”

Yu Feng was shocked by this outcome and couldn’t believe it.

“It’s them?”

Fourth Elder Brother was taken aback. Could it be that these two had discovered his plan to overthrow the sect?

But that’s not right. If they had found out, why didn’t they tell Master?

Ah, right. They probably figured that Master was too kind to kill him, so they decided to take matters into their own hands.

How cunning they are!

“Should we tell Master about this?” Yu Feng proposed.

“Absolutely not.” Fourth Elder Brother shot down the idea immediately. Doing so would reveal his plan to obtain the technique by collaborating with outsiders.

But he couldn’t reveal such a thing to Yu Feng.

“Fourth Elder Brother, I understand that you have your concerns, and I won’t pry. I won’t tell this to Master.” Understanding his meaning, Yu Feng didn’t ask any further.

“But you don’t need to worry, Fourth Elder Brother. You’ve helped me so many times, now it’s my turn to help you.” Yu Feng clenched his fist.

“I’ve predicted that helping you discreetly would be more effective than doing so openly.”

“I believe in you, Junior Brother.”

“I will never betray your trust, Elder Brother!” Yu Feng’s words rang out loud and clear.
