Chapter 531: Traitor (Part 5)

"I’ve killed many people from the Astral Demoniaco Sect, who knows which one you’re talking about. But..." Kenny Lin suddenly changed the direction of his words, "If you’re talking about the Sweet Cherry City Disaster Zone, there was indeed one."

"The voice sounds like a woman’s, but who knows if beneath that black robe lies the body of a shemale. How would I know if you ask me if it’s a woman?"

Kenny Lin tilted his head, exuding wickedness, resembling more of a demonic cultivator than the figure in the black robe.

Amalia lightly nudged his waist with her elbow and whispered, "Can’t you speak properly?"

In such a hurry, afraid others won’t know that you have a dark-type spiritual vein?

"Fine," Kenny Lin immediately responded.

"My concubine, it turns out you killed her," the figure chuckled slowly, his laughter quickly condensing into a murderous intent.

"Only a concubine?" Kenny Lin’s seriousness lasted less than a second before he broke into jest again, "Seeing how devoted you look, I thought she was your wife. It seems you’re not sincerely seeking revenge for her, you just finding any excuse."

The figure furrowed his brow.

Kenny Lin continued, "Let me guess what you’re plotting. The Astral Demoniaco Sect is divided into two factions. Given your character, you’re likely the leader of the Bright Accord faction. With recent intense conflicts, you aim to seize control of the entire Astral Demoniaco Sect. However, the people from the Dark Enclave have been opposing you. Not only are they unwilling to follow your lead, but they also want me to be their leader. For certain special reasons, the elders of the Astral Demoniaco Sect are inclined to acknowledge me as their leader. Finding a suitable excuse to convince them isn’t easy. So, you want to kill me because a dead person can’t possibly lead the Astral Demoniaco Sect, right?"

Before the figure in the black robe could react, Amalia interjected, "You know all this?"

Kenny Lin chuckled, "The unrest within the Astral Demoniaco Sect has been lingering for quite some time."

"Why do they want to acknowledge you as their leader?" Amalia curiously asked, despite knowing that Kenny Lin was from the Lin family and also affiliated with the military, they actually haven’t given up yet.

"Of course, it’s because your boyfriend’s unmatched brilliance and..."

"Stop," Amalia interrupted his rambling, "You only need to state the outcome. You can skip the details."

Giving her a look that said, "You have no appreciation," Kenny Lin continued, "Do you know why the Astral Demoniaco Sect is split into two factions?"

"Because of power struggles and differing ideologies?" Amalia guessed.

"Both of them are correct," Kenny Lin glanced at the silent figure in anticipation, as if waiting to hear what he would say, then smirked, "People believe that all members of the Astral Demoniaco Sect are ruthless and evil cultivators, but that’s not entirely true. Some cultivators were forced onto this path or made other desperate choices... for instance when their spiritual bodies were destroyed, making cultivation impossible, yet they were unwilling to give up. So, they turned to alternative methods. Some were falsely accused or misunderstood. Once they were wanted criminals, gradually, they were labeled as cruel and evil cultivators by the righteous cultivators."

Amalia was also extremely intelligent.

With just a few words from Kenny Lin, she immediately guessed the reason.

"The Astral Demoniaco Sect’s Bright Accord wants to change the public perception of demonic cultivators. That’s why they want to involve you. Although you bear the name of the Demon Slayer, you are the only one recognized for your unconventional methods and have a large follower among spiritual cultivators."

"What unconventional methods? My methods are perfectly normal. How can they compare me with them?" Kenny Lin protested.

Amalia ignored his protest automatically, "The Bright Accord doesn’t want to live under the stigma of being labeled as evil cultivators anymore. They want to reclaim the legitimacy of demonic cultivation, hence the desire to acknowledge you as their leader."

"That’s probably it," Kenny Lin didn’t really protest, summarizing their conversation.

"But not all demonic cultivators agree. The Dark Enclave faction, for instance, likely consists of those who revel in mischief and evil deeds. They would never want you to take control of the Astral Demoniaco Sect, especially since exposing the Astral Demoniaco Sect to the righteous cultivators and the public would also expose their past actions," Amalia continued.

With each point they made, the aura around the figure in the black robe grew darker, clearly hitting a nerve.

"However, what does this have to do with his concubine?" Kenny Lin said, "It’s just an excuse to find a hidden motive for killing me."

"Kenny Lin, it seems you’re quite pleased with yourself," the figure spoke angrily.

"I’m certainly pleased. You’ve repeatedly conspired with the Yoder family against me behind my back, and every time, you’ve come up empty-handed. Isn’t it natural for me to feel pleased?"

Kenny Lin possessed a sharp tongue that could kill with just words, and Amalia noticed it early on.

"It seems like you’ll be busy soon," The Sea King’s voice suddenly sounded.

Amalia glanced over calmly and replied, "Not busy. We can leave."

"You’re just going to leave me behind?" Kenny Lin stared at her incredulously.

"Just finish your business quickly, then," Amalia retorted impatiently.

If they delayed any longer, would they still have a chance when their nemesis arrived?

"Blocking my path, are you seeking death?"

Kenny Lin immediately glared fiercely at the figure in the black robe, emanating a murderous aura that even surpassed that of the figure.

Hence, it was understandable why the demonic cultivators from the Bright Accord faction would consider Kenny Lin as someone who is suitable to lead their Astral Demoniaco Sect.

This drama king, when he was angry, he would even more terrifying than evil demonic cultivators.

The figure in black robe couldn’t accept it.

His aura surged like a violent gust of wind.

It was time to settle their score.
