Chapter 239: Chapter 10 I swear to the Celestial Worm God: I will avenge this!

Hou Fang said with a gloomy face, "Which family killed Sun Yuan?"

Yin Shen Palace sighed repeatedly, "That’s the problem. The people who killed Sun Yuan are not ones we can afford to provoke. At least on the surface, it’s not worth it."

"What on earth is going on?"

Qian Sanjiang couldn’t hold back.

"Here’s what happened!"

Yin Shen Palace, rubbing his brow, said, "Sun Yuan was in the midst of Divine Power Empowerment, advancing rapidly, and reached Emperor Level, needing to stabilize. So, he was stabilizing there. Meanwhile, Yemo participated in the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan. Families whose members were killed by Yemo wanted revenge."

"But no one knows who Yemo is."

"We had five King level members of the Yixin Sect over there, and they convinced the Wang Family, who actually weren’t affected, to act as their spear, contacting our Yixin Sect members, while the other four had no idea about Yemo."

"When they approached Sun Yuan, they might have noticed some slight change in his expression or eyes. Maybe they realized Sun Yuan knew Yemo."

"Then they started working from that angle, insisting on marrying Yemo under the Wang Family’s name, ... and step by step ... things led to this point."

Yin Shen Palace sighed, "Sun Yuan ... sigh. He was constantly discussing what to do with me, and I also directed him to deliberately avoid Baiyun State and go to Bai Pingzhou instead. We abandoned the plan for Sun Yuan to protect Yemo, instructing him to return to headquarters immediately after escaping."

"Then how come..." Mu Lin Yuan was puzzled, wasn’t everything fine?

"But just now ... Sun Yuan was traveling and unexpectedly met Yemo face-to-face ... It turns out Yemo seemed fine and was heading back home. Now, coincidentally, they were both heading towards Baiyun State, ... leading to a head-on encounter!"

Yin Shen Palace furrowed his brows and sighed speechlessly, "Things just happened to align so precisely."

"Then Sun Yuan sacrificed himself to cover Yemo’s escape."

Yin Shen Palace stood up and paced back and forth.

Constantly sighing.

Sun Yuan’s death certainly was not worthy of his sighs; he even felt a vague sense of glee about Sun Yuan’s death.

What bothered him was Yemo’s reaction.

Yemo had clearly gone mad.

Yet, Yin Shen Palace understood, when a master dies heroically for his disciple to escape — such a thing would drive anyone mad.

But Yemo wants revenge.

This vengeance ... could it be so easily achieved?

The current involvement in Sun Yuan’s death comes from two powerful families!

Yemo’s messages kept coming.

"Master, you must be aware of this matter; there’s no reason for Master Sun Yuan not to report such a big issue to you. Please tell me, who are those people?"

Yin Shen Palace felt troubled.

He said to Mu Lin Yuan, "What do you all think? This matter... It’s difficult."

Mu Lin Yuan rubbed his face and said, "Who are the opponents?"

Yin Shen Palace replied, "The Wang Family and the Li Family. Yesterday, I asked headquarters for some inside information. The person disguised as Wang Yun’er is actually the third legitimate daughter of the Li Family, Li Mengyun. And the two Emperor Level individuals who killed Sun Yuan were two Emperor Level members of the Li Family, Sixth Rank - Li Changbo and Li Changhe. In the shadows, it was Li Mengyun’s Shadow Guard."

"The Wang Family, the Li Family."

Qian Sanjiang grew serious.

These are two families from Wei Wo Zheng Sect Headquarters; their influence isn’t enormous. However, with intermarriages and such over the years, their relations have become entangled and extensive.

These two families have many members working in various departments of the headquarters.

There are also numerous family members in subordinate sects and different branches.

Though not in significant positions, their combined strength is considerable.

Moreover, with things related to headquarters, Yixin Sect’s reach is limited.

Especially since Yixin Sect is still under reorganization, and headquarters’ people are currently staying in the sect, making taking action even harder.

More importantly, it’s simply not worth offending these two families for someone like Sun Yuan.

"Yemo needs to know."

Qian Sanjiang stated, "Whether he seeks revenge or not isn’t our concern. As the saying goes, a life for a life, a debt must be repaid. They killed Sun Yuan; if Yemo wants revenge, let him. But retaliation doesn’t mean seeking death! With his current limited cultivation, going for revenge is like delivering himself on a platter."

"That is a given."

Yin Shen Palace sinisterly remarked, "But right now, only the four of us know Yemo’s true identity."

"We understand, Sect Hierarch."

"Yes, Sun Yuan would rather die than reveal Yemo’s secret. You all understand this."

"Understood!"

Thus, Yin Shen Palace activated the Communication Jade to send a message to Yemo: "The sect is under reorganization, and headquarters’ people are in the sect, so we can’t leave. Master Sun Yuan’s revenge is a must, but even for revenge, you need the skills. Without capability, seeking revenge is pointless."

"Disciple understands; I only wish to know who the enemies are."

"The inner realm of headquarters, the Wang Family and Li Family of Gu God City. The one disguised as Wang Yun’er is the true third legitimate daughter of the Li Family, Li Mengyun. The ones who killed Sun Yuan are two Emperor Level members from the Li Family, Sixth Rank, Li Changbo and Li Changhe. Accompanying them in secret was Li Mengyun’s Shadow Guard."

Yin Shen Palace straightforwardly explained everything to Fang Che.

He detailed how the Li Family asked the Wang Family to stage the setup, the Li Family handled things, and even the arrangements Sun Yuan discussed with him on his journey, all leading to Sun Yuan’s death.

Fang Che fell silent for a while, then said, "Master, before his unexpected event, Master Sun Yuan said that if anything were to happen, his whole family would be entrusted to me. Where is Master Sun Yuan’s family?"

Yin Shen Palace sighed lightly and said, "Master Sun Yuan’s entire family is in Baiyun State. They’re just ordinary people. Among his household’s juniors, only a few have average martial aptitude. That’s why he put so much effort into cultivating you. Oh, Sun Yuan’s real name is Sun Yuanxiu."

"In Baiyun State?"

Fang Che was sincerely surprised.

This matter had never been mentioned by Sun Yuan before.

No wonder Sun Yuan was so elusive in Baiyun State; his base was right there all along.

"Yes, in the south of Baiyun State City, there’s a Sun Family Manor. The entire Sun Family Manor is your master’s family."

Yin Shen Palace said blandly.

To Yin Shen Palace, the Sun family was insignificant.

They were just a common prosperous family, not even a Martial Arts Family.

What is their worth?

If they were to move to one of the Demon Sect’s cities, they’d be engulfed in moments!

Since Sun Yuan was willing, let his family live peacefully under the Guardian’s protection.

What waves could such a family possibly make?

But on the other side.

The news from Yin Shen Palace shook Fang Che’s mind like a thunderclap!

It left him dizzy, his heart tumultuous, with his spirit nearly unguarded.

The Sun Family Manor in the city’s south!

The Sun Family!

Qi Zhi Blood Spirit Ginseng, Ningxue Sword in action, great battle, explosion at the Sun Family’s Ancestral Tomb, and getting the Ancient Jade ...

Sun Yuan was actually from that Sun family?

Fang Che felt the profound mystery of destiny reaching an unbelievable extent.

It seemed as if some invisible thread linked all these events, entangling them around him. Just the thought made his skin crawl.

After a long period, he replied, "I have already sworn upon the Celestial Worm God, in this life and all lives, to avenge this blood feud! The Wang and Li families will be left with no one alive!"

Yin Shen Palace was utterly shocked!

He swore to the Celestial Worm God?

Seeing no further messages from Yemo, Yin Shen Palace sighed.

"What did Yemo say?"

"He said nothing further. But he mentioned that he has sworn upon the Celestial Worm God to avenge this enmity!" Yin Shen Palace sighed deeply, as if deflating entirely.

Feeling utterly melancholic!

Mu Lin Yuan and others were also astonished.

Such vows shouldn’t be lightly made!

But now... What is done is done, and Yemo has sworn his oath. Nothing can change that now.

"This kid!"

Mu Lin Yuan stomped in exasperation.

Yin Shen Palace said, "This child is deeply emotional and loyal. It’s likely this will become a thorn in his heart."

He abruptly spoke in utmost frustration, "Tell me, how is it that we, such Great Demons, somehow teach a disciple who is so deeply emotional and loyal?!"

"How did five heartless and ruthless Great Demons teach a disciple who respects teachers and values loyalty and love?"

Yin Shen Palace asked, "Don’t you all find that peculiar?"

Mu Lin Yuan gave a wry smile and said, "First, Yemo is still young. Second... Sect Hierarch, isn’t it also because of Yemo’s deep emotions and loyalty that you hold him in such high regard? If Yemo were truly heartless, would he still be worth your efforts to cultivate?"

Yin Shen Palace took a sharp breath and said, "What you say makes sense, but such a person is bound to suffer greatly in the future!"

Hou Fang said blandly, "With the four of us Great Demons watching over him, Yemo’s mistakes shouldn’t be catastrophic."

"Indeed, indeed."

Mu Lin Yuan said, "Sect Hierarch, if I remember correctly, we too, in our youth, valued love and loyalty. It was only after enduring so much turmoil and betrayal in the Jianghu that we became who we are now..."

Yin Shen Palace’s face twisted abruptly, "Shut up! Don’t bring up such things."

He said sternly, "We in the Demon Sect have no such values as love or loyalty!"

Mu Lin Yuan calmly said, "I didn’t mean to bring up the past; I just wanted to tell the Sect Hierarch that one day Yemo will become like us, as long as he walks the Jianghu, he too will eventually become heartless."

"But the deep feelings of his youth will forever be branded in him, unable to be erased."

Mu Lin Yuan gave a wry smile, "By the time Yemo becomes less emotional and loyal, when he becomes as hard-hearted as we are ... that will be the time when our training for him is essentially complete."

"So it’s good that Yemo is like this now. Because, for the rest of his life, he’ll never be able to do anything against us! That’s what I truly want the most right now."

Mu Lin Yuan said.

Hou Fang and Qian Sanjiang nodded together, "That makes sense. I think so too!"

Qian Sanjiang grinned and said, "To be honest with you, Sect Hierarch, I’m just waiting for Yemo to climb high and prosper so I can bask in his glory!"
