Chapter 389: 389. The Heartbroken Person’s Deep Affection

Seeing the woman in black, Yun Zheyue slightly furrowed her brows, her tone cold: "General Hei Long, what are you doing here?"

The True Mother God Sect has two General Yakshas active in the Central Plains.

The Hei Long General in front of her was one of them; the other used to be the Poison Fire Ghost Crow, but now it had changed to Yun Zheyue.

Hei Long chuckled: "I heard that General Yun just took office, so I traveled a long way to visit you. Otherwise, you might think I look down on you and retaliate, which would be terrible."

Yun Zheyue remained expressionless: "We are equals; your status is no lower than mine. According to sect rules, we shouldn’t meet privately."

The sect rules of the True Mother God Sect dictate that members are not allowed to meet or communicate privately and can only take orders from their direct superiors.

Hei Long dismissed it: "Rules are only for the foot soldiers, not for us Generals."

It might affect morale if it got out, but it was indeed true; the sect would turn a blind eye when Generals broke the rules, while foot soldiers doing the same would be doomed.

After a moment of silence, Yun Zheyue slowly said: "Rules are rules. If even we don’t lead by example, how can we gain people’s adherence?"

"Alright, alright, talking about this is pointless; these are things the bigwigs in the sect should worry about, not us. We’re just enforcers."

Hei Long interrupted Yun Zheyue impatiently: "If you don’t agree, I’ll just leave later. You wouldn’t report me, would you?"

Yun Zheyue felt discussing this with Hei Long was futile. Glancing at the Lakefront Manor below, she asked, "Did you come across a masked man when you arrived?"

Hei Long got interested at this mention: "Yes, that kid is quite cunning. He played a trick on me and ran. Do you know his true identity? I’ll find him tomorrow."

Staring at the dark mountain ranges, Yun Zheyue said coldly: "Not sure, but I suspect he might be a Demon Sect member, the same person who killed Ghost Crow."

Hei Long widened her eyes, a look of surprise on her face, yet excitement gleaming in her eyes: "So he’s from the Demon Sect, no wonder he’s so despicable and shameless. Since he killed Ghost Crow, next time we meet, I’ll certainly avenge Ghost Crow!"

Yun Zheyue rolled her eyes at Hei Long with speechlessness. Her relationship with Ghost Crow wasn’t good at all, and now she suddenly wanted to avenge Ghost Crow?

It’s personal revenge, isn’t it?

Yun Zheyue ignored the muscle-brained woman and turned to leave.

"Hey, General Yun, wait for me. I came all this way, a cup of tea isn’t too much to ask, right?"

Hei Long hurriedly followed; this General Yun was highly valued by the Bisha Heavenly King, so she had to build a good relationship in advance.

...

Fang Zhou, worried the two women would catch up, flew away from Qi Country overnight.

Both women were troublesome, especially Yun Zheyue. With Fang Zhou’s current strength, he couldn’t afford to provoke her, so he had to get as far as possible.

Once he entered the borders of Chu Kingdom, he randomly picked a town, rented a secluded courtyard at an inn, and then entered the gourd where all his enemies and friends were.

This gourd was Fang Zhou’s greatest treasure, having a higher cost-effectiveness than the Xuanyuan Sword.

Without the gourd, Fang Zhou wouldn’t know how to bring back these four spirited lads and two enemies.

Besides being used for cultivation and vacation normally, it could key moments absorb people, bring people or things—truly an essential magic treasure for home traveling, killing, and looting.

Entering the gourd, Fang Zhou didn’t first find the trio but called for Li Yuanming and Xu Xian.

Li Yuanming had taken a sword to the chest, but with his strong physique, he wouldn’t easily die from that.

Fang Zhou awakened Li Yuanming, who, as he came around, looked confused. As soon as he saw Fang Zhou, his confusion turned to terror: "You!!"

Fang Zhou cracked his knuckles, sneering: "Yes, it’s me. Spill everything you know if you don’t want to suffer more than death!"

Even though Ya Zi was gone, Fang Zhou had learned various training methods from her and was itching to try them on someone.

This couple presented themselves just at the right time; not testing it out would be a waste of skills.

Li Yuanming’s gaze landed on the treasure sword still embedded in his chest, his expression suddenly turning gloomy. In a desolate tone, he said: "Kill me; I’m already worse than dead. What’s the point of living?"

It seemed Li Yuanming truly was a lover of swords; the treachery of the treasure sword struck him hard, plunging him into the depths of despair.

Fang Zhou had always admired sword lovers. He pulled the treasure sword from Li Yuanming’s chest and said: "If you don’t talk, I’ll break your treasure sword and refine it into scrap iron in a furnace."

Li Yuanming’s face flooded with panic: "Stop, come at me if you have to; she’s innocent!!"

Someone not knowing might think I planned to do something to your wife.

Brandishing the treasure sword as a threat, Fang Zhou warned: "If you don’t want her damaged, you’d better confess. Otherwise, I’ll not only refine her into scrap iron but also make an exhaust pipe, taken in and out daily."

Li Yuanming watched the sword in Fang Zhou’s hand, silently shedding tears: "Ask whatever you want; I only hope you care for her."

This feeling was like a victim facing a traitorous, cheating wife, still safeguarding her with his life and even entrusting her to the villain before dying. Truly touching.

Though he loved not a person, but a sword.

Under Fang Zhou’s threat with the treasure sword, Li Yuanming obediently confessed the truth.

He, in a certain sense, belonged to the True Mother God Sect but was not a formal member, functioning as an unofficial temporary worker. His wife, Xu Xian, was the actual member of the True Mother God Sect.

The story began decades ago. A fresh-faced youth just starting his journey, Li Yuanming dreamed of performing chivalrous deeds and becoming a renowned hero in the Cultivation World.

Yet, on his first experience, due to carelessness, several female cultivators snatched his innocence and tortured him in a basement for months.

Just as Li Yuanming was about to be hit rock bottom, a male rights organization appeared, defeating the female cultivators and rescuing him from the dark basement.

Li Yuanming joined the male rights organization, and with his high aptitude and effort, he rose through the ranks, eventually encountering his love, Xu Xian, and they became husband and wife.

However, Xu Xian soon revealed her true colors. She was actually a member of the True Mother God Sect, using beauty tactics to ensnare Li Yuanming, intending to exploit him to undermine the male rights organization.

Drug-controlled by Xu Xian, Li Yuanming had no choice but to serve as an inside man for the True Mother God Sect, setting traps to wipe out the then-thriving male rights organization.

With the male rights organization dismantled, Li Yuanming was of little use. To survive, he strategized for the True Mother God Sect, suggesting he clandestinely rebuild the male rights organization, attracting men hostile towards women, and once it grew, to annihilate it in one stroke.
