Chapter 551: Chapter 280 Er Liang’s Transformation

Monkey.

To be precise, his name is Black Monkey.

He is both a member of the Sky Shadow Organization and one of the hidden forces investigating the resurgence of Demon Energy.

Disguised as Jiang Shouzhong, he successfully set up a trap.

He rescued Meiniang, who loves to fight naked, from Jiang Shouzhong’s clutches.

He orchestrated two small-scale sacrificial rituals and, along with Wan Yan Wu Hai, conducted a large-scale live human sacrifice.

It seemed his presence was everywhere.

Yet who could have imagined that such a mysterious figure would be an official of the Liushan Division in the Capital.

As Master Jiang’s voice faded, silence enveloped those present.

Lu Renjia’s jaw dropped in disbelief, his expression incredulous as he stared at Rong Yuhe, whose demeanor swiftly shifted from agitated to eerily calm, his mind seemingly still trying to catch up.

Wen Er shuddered with fear and hastily backed away.

Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said, "What? Don’t tell me you’re planning to deny it."

"Ah, what a pity," Rong Yuhe sighed, looking at his cocked little finger, "I originally thought that once I got to the Capital, I could have some fun with you, Jiang Mo, but you recognized me."

With a gentle pluck,

he removed most of his finger.

Throwing the fake finger into the river, Rong Yuhe glanced around at Ran Qingchen and the other girls blocking his escape routes and said with a resigned smile, "There’s really no need, Master Jiang, I’m not that formidable."

"Always best to be cautious," Jiang Shouzhong responded coolly.

"True, I don’t have many skills, but running away is something I excel at."

Rong Yuhe lightly tapped his head, attempted to lean on the boat’s railing, but noticing the two flying swords aimed at him, he voluntarily stepped forward, entering the circle of people surrounding him.

Raising his hands to show he was unarmed, he asked Jiang Shouzhong, "What do you plan to do with me?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked, "Are you afraid of dying?"

Rong Yuhe replied with a smile, "Of course I am; there are very few who aren’t afraid of death."

"Then this should be easy."

Jiang Shouzhong threw a broken chair soaked with water in front of him, "Sit down and we’ll have a long chat."

Rong Yuhe, unfazed, sat down casually.

Now, none of the effeminate airs he had before remained; his laid-back manner had a touch of devil-may-care attitude.

Exactly like those in the Sky Shadow Organization.

"I wonder what Master Jiang would like to talk about?" Rong Yuhe asked with a smile.

Jiang Shouzhong gazed intently at him: "You tell me everything you know, even if it takes three days and three nights."

"Sorry, I can’t talk for three days and three nights. I’m just a small fry, I don’t know much. It’s all about investigating the Demon Energy here and there, that’s all," Rong Yuhe said, tapping his thigh lightly, locking eyes with Jiang Shouzhong, "But even regarding the Demon Energy, I know very little."

Jiang Shouzhong probed, "What’s the name of your organization?"

"Black Water."

"Black Water?"

"Yes, in fact, our organization doesn’t have a name, but the big boss behind the scenes is nicknamed Black Water, so we just took that as our name," the Monkey said with a smile.

Jiang Shouzhong committed this name to memory and said flatly, "Then who is your big boss behind the scenes?"

"Black Water, I told you, didn’t I?"

Seeing Jiang Shouzhong’s cold stare, Rong Yuhe said self-deprecatingly, "Do you think a small fry like me has the privilege to meet our boss face to face? Like with the Sky Shadow Organization, the identities of Black Water’s people are highly confidential."

Jiang Shouzhong sneered, "I don’t believe you’re just a small fry. You were present at both sacrificial events. Would such an important task be entrusted to a small fry?"

Rong Yuhe laughed, "I appreciate Master Jiang’s recognition of my abilities, I just wish our boss could hear it too."

He touched the chair and crossed his legs, saying:

"Jiang Mo, even though you thwarted Wan Yan Wu Hai’s plan, the massacre in Qingzhou was a successful sacrifice for us at Black Water, and it was a perfect success.

We were supposed to conduct ten sacrifices, but now we hardly need to. The next step is to head for the Ten Thousand Mountains to find the real reason for the resurgence of Demon Energy.

I believe it won’t be long before Black Water reveals a truth that will shock the world. When that time comes, the real change will begin."

Jiang Shouzhong puzzled, "Why are you so obsessed with Demon Energy?"

Gazing at the river under the setting sun, Rong Yuhe said serenely:

"If you’ve seen the secret archives of the previous dynasty, you should understand that with the death of the Demon Venerable and the suppression of the nine-tailed fox, Demon Energy completely vanished, which was in accordance with the natural order.

It’s like the path of immortality.

Six hundred years ago, the Taoist Ancestor of Zhenxuan Mountain ascended to immortality, becoming the last Cultivator in the human world to successfully ascend.

Since then, the Ascension Bridge has collapsed, the Heavenly Gate has closed, and the last path for Cultivator ascension has been irreversibly severed.

Even a genius like Zhao Wuxiu has had to strive for other methods.

Nowadays, the path to cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult. At the end of the previous dynasty, there were at least three practitioners in the Heavenly Human Realm, yet in the Dazhou period, there’s only Zhao Wuxiu.

In another hundred or two hundred years, even reaching the Feathered Transformation Realm will be a vain hope.

In contrast, the Demon Clan should also be on the decline. However, twenty-some years ago, Demon Energy suddenly resurfaced.

Don’t you find this anomaly, which goes against the natural laws of heaven and earth, strange?

I’m telling you, Jiang Mo, if you gain the truth behind the resurgence of Demon Energy, you might possess a new power, and maybe even the whole world could be in your hands."

Jiang Shouzhong said, "I have no interest in controlling the world, nor do I think there’s anything worth digging into with this resurgence of Demon Energy. I just want to know, who was the Meiniang who tried to assassinate me? And do you recognize anyone else in the organization?"

"Now that’s a tough one. I really don’t know the true identity of that bare-bottomed woman; saving her was just a case of accumulating favors," Rong Yuhe replied.
