Chapter 39 Yue Jang's Plan

After leaving Su Chen's cave, Xue Feng headed to a different mountain and was summoned into a cave by his master, Yue Jang.

"Come in," Yue Jang said. Xue Feng entered the cave and greeted his master respectfully.

"I have completed the mission you gave me, Master," Xue Feng reported.

Yue Jang raised an eyebrow. "The mission already? I didn't expect it to be completed so soon. Tell me more about it."

"Yes, Master," Xue Feng replied. "While I was at Su Chen's cave, I saw him coughing blood and realized it was the perfect opportunity to complete the mission, so I seized it ." Xue Feng proceeded to recount his encounter with Su Chen and how he saw him coughing blood and what he did.

"Your performance is satisfactory," Yue Jang said, He then pulled out a porcelain bottle from his robe and handed it to Xue Feng. "This pill will assist you in breaking through to the Innate Realm. Take it when you are ready."

Xue Feng accepted the pill gratefully and bowed his head. "Thank you, Master. I will make good use of it."

"You may leave now," Yue Jang instructed.

Once Xue Feng had exited the cave, Yue Jang muttered to himself, "I overestimated Su Chen. He turned out to be weaker than I thought."

Yideng, who had been present, interjected. "I warned you that no one in these trash dynasties could defeat you. Using Distraction Heart Powder on them was a waste. Even with it, you still overestimated Su Chen. He was nothing but a stepping stone on your cultivation path."

Yue Jang had learned the recipe for Distraction Heart Powder from his master, Yideng.

"Distraction Heart Powder." This powder is made from rare herbs and minerals that, when combined in a certain way, create a substance that can cause a Cultivator's mind to become distracted and lose focus during meditation and cultivation.

Initially, the powder may just cause a mild distraction, but if consumed repeatedly, the effects will gradually intensify, making it increasingly difficult for the Cultivator to concentrate on their cultivation.

Over time, the poison can cause damage to the Cultivator's spiritual energy and even result in a backlash during cultivation.

Yideng had always cautioned Yue Jang to use this powder sparingly and only in the direst of circumstances.

However, Yue Jang's ambition had gotten the better of him. Yue Jang enlisted Xue Feng, one of Su Chen's most trusted followers, to secretly join his faction and carry out the plan.

Xue Feng, motivated by the promise of power and riches, agreed to carry out the mission.

He planned to use the Distraction Heart Powder on Su Chen. Yue Jang knew that Su Chen was a formidable opponent and removing him from the picture would greatly benefit Yue Jang's faction.

So, Yue Jang prepared the Distraction Heart Powder according to Yideng's recipe and handed it over to Xue Feng.

Xue Feng had no idea what the powder was, but he trusted Yue Jang completely and followed his instructions to mix it in with Su Chen's meals.

When Su Chen began to show signs of illness and coughed up blood, Xue Feng saw his chance to strike.

He gave Su Chen a healing pill that he had mixed with the Distraction Heart Powder, knowing that the poison would slowly eat away at Su Chen's mind and ultimately cause his downfall.

He knew that with Su Chen out of the way, his faction would rise to power and dominate the entire Red Lotus sect.

It was a risky move, but Yue Jang was willing to take the chance, as he knew that the rewards would be great.

After reporting about the mission to Su Chen, Xue Feng thought of returning to his cabin with a happy face and using all the resources he had collected so far to break through the Innate Realm with the help of the pill, Yue Jang had given him.

However, as he made his way through the True Disciple Court area, he saw two people standing not far away. When he saw who one of them was, he became shocked and stopped in his footsteps. The happy expression on his face turned into a confused look.

"M-Master Su, what are you doing here? You should be resting as your health is not good, so you shouldn't be moving around," Xue Feng tried his best to keep his composure with the sudden appearance of Su Chen. He had thought Su Chen was resting and recovering, or crying over his backlash in cultivation after taking the healing pill mixed with Distraction Heart Powder.

"Xue Feng," Su Chen said with a stoic expression on his face.

"Y-Yes, Master Su, what can I do for you?" Xue Feng said as he got a bad feeling about it.

"I'm fine after you gave me the healing pill," Su Chen said as he showed the pill in his hand. This was the same pill Xue Feng had given to Su Chen for his recovery when he was coughing blood.

"M-Master Su, I can explain it to you. It's not my fault. I was forced, and I didn't have a choice," Xue Feng said. He already understood everything after seeing the healing pill he had given to Su Chen and didn't try to hide, as he knew Su Chen was already aware of his plan, which was why he came there with the same pill in his hand.

"Leaving with a happy face from Yue Jang's mountain and saying you were forced to do that and didn't have a choice. Even your excuses are so lame. How the hell did I not see through you all the time when you were giving me poison? If it wasn't for Wang Chen's plan, I don't know what would have happened," Su Chen said as he glanced at Wang Chen with a grateful look.

As the author, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the readers for taking the time to read this chapter and for their unwavering support. Thankyou!
