Chapter 379 - Schemes

Yang Danfeng’s remark attracted everyone’s attention. “What is it? Tell us,” said the First Demon Elder, looking at his favorite disciple.

“Actually, we don’t have to keep thinking about attacking Long Chen directly. We can use an indirect method,” Yang Danfeng explained confidently.

“What indirect method?” the Third Demon Elder, who was more impatient, asked hurriedly.

Yang Danfeng continued, “You may relate this to another matter. Didn’t the Palace Lord’s only daughter return to the Heavenly Demon Palace a few months ago? And that caused a huge commotion? At the time, she said she had gotten married and brought back that piece of trash, Dongfang Xuanxiao. The Palace Lord personally approved of the marriage, but do you remember someone else? The Seventh River Stage elder, He Tian!”

“Elder He Tian? The guy who was in love with Xuanming for a long time? He was absolutely infatuated with her, but after she went missing, he had no choice but to settle for another woman and ended up having a son with her. That Elder He Tian?” The Third Demon Elder recalled this person.

“Yes! I’m sure everyone knows of the major incident that took place after Xuanming returned. To prove that his love was true, Elder He Tian killed his wife and son, then he pursued Xuanming. However, she had already made her decision to be with Dongfang Xuanxiao, and who would want to be with that psycho? After he got rejected, Elder He Tian went mad and went into a rage, then tried to kill Dongfang Xuanxiao. The Palace Lord found out in time and then beat him up severely. However, the Palace Lord showed mercy and let him live ...”

“Danfeng, I get what you mean. Do you know where He Tian is?” asked the First Demon Elder with a twinkle in his eye.

Yang Danfeng had been interrupted, but he was not irritated by it. He nodded and said, “I know where he is. You probably know what I was going to say, Master. If we give him some incentive and make arrangements on our end so he can enter the Heavenly Demon Palace with ease, will he pass up a chance to kill his romantic rival? Dongfang Xuanxiao is Long Chen’s stepfather. If he dies, Long Chen will definitely be distracted, and he will be unable to focus on cultivating.”

“That’s right!” The First Demon Elder nodded in approval. “No matter what action we take against Long Chen, the Palace Lord will surely suspect us. If we take action against Dongfang Xuanxiao, then as long as he dies, Long Chen will definitely become distracted. If there’s something else occupying his mind, there’s no chance he will surpass Danfeng and Xiao Yu to get the Demon Emperor Sword. Also, we’ll get more opportunities to kill him!” Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Even the First Demon Elder grew excited towards the end.

After Yang Danfeng told them the plan, five of them agreed immediately. The only person who had no reaction was Murong Yu. She was extremely torn inside. There were two sides—one side was the masters who had mentored her and helped her get to where she was, but the other side was her conscience and sense of justice, as well as some strange emotions.

When Yang Danfeng mentioned the plan, Murong Yu knew this was trouble. She knew Long Chen well, and if Dongfang Xuanxiao really was murdered because of this scheme, then Long Chen would fall into madness. At the time, the three Demon Elders could even find a chance to kill him!

No way! I mustn’t let that happen! That’s unfair to Long Chen! But my master taught me for many years. If I disobey her, won’t I seem ungrateful for her mentorship all these years? Won’t I be unfilial? Murong Yu’s heart was filled with chaotic thoughts.

The three Demon Elders and Yang Danfeng started to plan while Murong Yu stood there in a daze. The Second Demon Elder looked over kindly at Murong Yu and said, “Xiao Yu, don’t stand there alone. Tell us if you’ve got any good ideas. We’ve got a very difficult brat to deal with. He took the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique, which belonged to you guys. That is why you must take revenge!”

“Thank you, Master!” Yang Danfeng said hurriedly.

The three Demon Elders had been planning this for years. Yang Danfeng had merely said it out loud.

Murong Yu’s reaction was within their expectations since every girl would be confused and doubtful before marriage. The three Demon Elders thought that it was normal, and she would get used to it soon.

“Alright, then it is set. Meeting adjourned.” The fog in the First Demon Elder’s heart was cleared.

After Murong Yu returned to her quarters, she kept thinking about the two things that had been discussed. First, they wanted to kill Long Chen’s stepfather, Dongfang Xuanxiao. Second, if Yang Danfeng received the Demon Emperor Sword, she would have to marry him and live a miserable life forever ...

Initially, she had not been so sure, but her repulsion towards the second matter was just too strong. She sat in front of the window and stared out in a daze. Her beautiful face was hidden beneath a black chiffon veil.

“Murong Yu, what are you going to do?”

***

The Demon Seed Planting Technique.

Time passed as they cultivated the Demon Seed Planting Technique. Three days later, Long Chen and Xiaolang had achieved a certain level of progress. With Ling Xi as a translator, all three of them studied the secret scripture together. When they discussed its contents together, the Demon Seed Planting Technique became much simpler.

“Brother Chen, you need to thank me properly! Without me, you would have no way of knowing what Xiaolang is thinking!” Ling Xi said smugly.

“No way! On that note, Xiao Xi, do you have a method for Xiaolang and I to communicate directly?” This was something that frustrated Long Chen.

“Hmm?” Ling Xi cocked her tiny head and said, “You can’t learn my current method for now, but I do remember a secret technique. If a demonic beast has enough intelligence to cultivate it, it can make human sounds. Xiaolang is definitely intelligent enough; he just lacks the technique!”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Long Chen was a little speechless. He looked down at Wang Xing, who was cultivating quietly, and said, “Wang Xing is definitely much safer staying here. Yang Danfeng will not show mercy if he sees him!”
