Chapter 1226 - 1226 1212 Ren Haotian

Chapter 1226: Chapter 1212: Ren Haotian Chapter 1226: Chapter 1212: Ren Haotian Longhun asked again, “Did my brother also go to Taiping Island?”

Mo Ku replied, “No, your brother didn’t participate. During the big battle against Qiandu Xiang, he nearly succumbed to demonic possession. At that time, when he was half-human and half-demon, he killed a girl, who seemed to be Nangong Yao’s daughter. He was greatly traumatized by the incident, and it’s said that the magic power within him is very unstable. I suspect that’s why he didn’t join in.

Moreover, Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang joining forces could easily take back the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

Longhun surmised it must be so and realized his brother’s situation wasn’t good. He said, “Mo Ku, go and find out the situation on Taiping Island. See if the local bigwig is really there, and what forces are present on the island. Before I arrive, I want everything understood clearly; I don’t wish to waste time.”

Mo Ku nodded hurriedly.

“After all, this isn’t our territory. I don’t want to cause trouble here. The people from the 108 islands are still searching for me. Even if I obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone, I might have to hide like the local bigwig, and I don’t want that. The Sacred Spirit Stone holds immense energy, but it requires time to understand and harness.”

Longhun continued, “That means, even if we do manage to get the Sacred Spirit Stone, we might not be able to use it straight away. After obtaining it, I will need some time. During this period, I don’t want any disturbances. If our presence is revealed, I’ll have to think of ways to escape the attention of the 36 islands. I figure news of the Sacred Spirit Stone will soon spread to the Central Plains and the 108 islands, complicating matters further. Right now, we still need to avoid Ling Li and Su Zhanze.”

Both of them understood Longhun’s meanings.

Longhun was pondering in his heart that if Ye Chen didn’t participate, his chances of success would greatly increase. This was his only lifeline, his only chance to restore his former glory.

In fact, for some reason, he felt a bit fearful of his brother joining in. Maybe it was just bad luck, but every time he encountered him, it was as if he met his nemesis.

“Alright, we’ll enter secretly, keep a low profile. Once we obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone, we’ll also need to figure out how to leave the 36 islands,” Longhun said.

Mo Ku voiced, “Then I will take some men and enter Taiping Island first, to clarify the situation, and wait for you to arrive.”

“Unless absolutely necessary, don’t engage them in combat.”

“Leader, rest assured, I will act wisely,” Mo Ku said as he led some men away.

Longhun turned to the Mitra Monk and inquired, “Any movements from the Central Plains side?”

The Mitra Monk replied, “Not really; I don’t think the news has spread this quickly here.”

“Hard to say; I’m sure the people from the Immortal and Demon realms will find out a bit later, but there’s one person whose information may not be slower than ours.”

“You mean Su Zhanze.”

“Of course. He has Ling Li’s help. Whatever Ling Li knows, he’s sure to be aware of.”

“They’re still trying to deal with Teng Yun’e and others,” the Mitra Monk had found out.

“Su Zhanze, having suffered before, is different now. He knows that I will definitely not give up and will surely look for a way to rise again. If I want to rise, I must rely on something; otherwise, I’m no match for him, since he possesses the Dragon Slayer Sword. Now that the Sacred Spirit Stone has appeared, he’s certain I’ll go for it,” Longhun added.

“He’s got some smarts. The affairs of Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren might have fooled the mob from the Immortal and Demon realms, but not us,” Longhun proclaimed.

It was through Su Zhanze’s martial arts that Longhun figured it out; Su Zhanze’s victory over the Tianye Demon surprised him. When he learned of Su Zhanze’s great improvement, especially in his martial arts,

He made Su Zhanze succumb to demonic possession, and after Su Zhanze captured him, he forced him to write down the Dragon Slayer Secret Manual. Of course, he wrote as Longhun demanded, but he made some subtle modifications, being very meticulous. If Su Zhanze practiced according to the secret martial arts manual he described, he would surely become possessed.

However, Su Zhanze made great strides in his martial arts. Not only did he avoid possession, but he also defeated the Tianye Demon, whom even he feared. There’s only one explanation: Su Zhanze must have obtained the true Dragon Slayer Secret Manual. And the true manual was in the hands of Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren. The only explanation was that Su Zhanze got the manual from Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei. Considering this, along with the fact that when Ren Xiongbei fled back to Immortal City, he accused Su Zhanze of orchestrating everything.

The fools of Immortal City might not have believed it, but Longhun did.

Because it perfectly explained why Su Zhanze didn’t go mad with power but instead grew stronger, even defeating the Tianye Demon.

“It’s just too bad that the Dragon Slayer Secret Manual only ended up killing Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren,” Longhun had hoped to provoke a massacre in the Immortal and Demon realms over the secret manual.

After his defeat, Longhun was unconvinced, knowing that those bastards would attack Dragon Slayer Island. He also knew that Dragon Slayer Island couldn’t hold them off, so he let those people keep the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. He believed that those from the Immortal Demon Domain would certainly fight over the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual and turn on each other.

Indeed, his prediction came true. The Immortal Demon Domain really did break into conflict, and Liu Yunzhi was stabbed to death on that very day. How exactly he died, no one knew, but it was definitely related to the struggle for possession.

What he didn’t expect was that the turmoil would subside so quickly, and it even benefited Su Zhanze. He felt it was a pity, as it was clear his own goals had not been reached.

Deciding not to dwell on this matter any longer, he returned his focus to the Sacred Spirit Stone. Even if he truly managed to get the Sacred Spirit Stone, it would likely be discovered, and it was impossible to use it right away. The people from the Sacred Spirit Sect took over a month to master just a little of it even after obtaining the Sacred Spirit Stone.

In the end, if he were to fall into their trap and get hold of it, he would need some time to study how to use the Sacred Spirit Stone without raising suspicions about himself. If only he could manage to shift the blame onto someone else. That would be great, Longhun thought to himself.

Pondering who he could frame to avoid doubts from the people of the thirty-six islands, his most desired target for blame-shifting was Su Zhanze. Those people made him extremely uncomfortable, and he needed to stir up some trouble for them.

Suddenly, one of his subordinates came in and said, “Old Du is here.”

Longhun, who was bothered by concerns, lifted his head. Old Du, with a dozen men, was coming this way.

Old Du paid his respects to Longhun.

Longhun nodded slightly and said, “Good that you’re alive. I thought you might not have made it out.”

“I was lucky, the people from the Immortal Demon Domain were all focused on the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, so they stopped paying attention to me, giving me a chance to escape.”

Longhun nodded and noticed a young man following behind him, asking, “Who is this?” He looked somewhat familiar.

“From the Immortal City Sect, the son of Ren Xiongbei, Ren Haotian.”

“Bringing someone from the Immortal City Sect here, aren’t you afraid of exposing us?” a subordinate behind him called out. They were trying to avoid the people from the Immortal City Sect now.

Old Du hastily replied, “He is not aligned with Su Zhanze. Because the people of the Immortal Demon Domain were hunting down his father and him, we had nothing to do and went to see the excitement. We ran into a group of masked men trying to kill them, and he fell off a cliff. At that moment, he was holding the Immortal Pearl as he fell. We went to the bottom of the cliff hoping to find the Immortal Pearl. If we found it, it would be a consolation prize. However, we did not expect that this young man would survive the fall, and we captured him.”

“You should have just taken the Immortal Pearl from him; why did you bring him back? Are you out of your mind?” the subordinate said anxiously.

Old Du answered, “He recognizes me and knows I’m from the Dragon Slaying Clan. He was seriously injured at the time, but when he knew I was after the Immortal Pearl, he was willing to give it to us.”

“You’ve already caught him; you worry he won’t give you the Immortal Pearl?” yelled someone from behind Longhun.

“Of course not, this young man said he wants to join us, to help us.”

“Bullshit, his father is dead, he can’t even save himself, let alone help us. How is that possible?”

Ren Haotian hurried forward and said, “Yes, my father is dead, but we still have quite a few followers scattered around the Central Plains, and some of them are from the Immortal City Sect. I can lead them to join you.”

Longhun sneered, “Heh, since when does Longhun need your help to make a comeback?”

“It’s not like that, but you can’t rule out the possibility that I could help you. Maybe I can provide some assistance,” Ren Haotian had not expected Longhun to be alive.

Longhun let out a hollow laugh, “You can’t even save yourself; how could you help me?”

Ren Haotian humbly responded, “True, I’m in a dire situation, but there’s one thing – I know you want to seek revenge against Su Zhanze, you need to remove him to restore Dragon Slayer Island to its glory, just as I need to seek revenge against him. Our goals align; you don’t need to make any promises to me. I could wholeheartedly help you against Su Zhanze until he’s dead.”

From the moment Ren Haotian laid eyes on Old Du, he had the notion to join them. The people from the Immortal Demon Domain were hunting him, his father was killed by Su Zhanze, and he knew he couldn’t take revenge alone, so he chose to join the Dragon Slaying Clan. He despised the Immortal Demon Domain; nobody there was good.

Latterly, through the subordinates of Old Du, he heard that Longhun had been captured by Su Zhanze and was then secretly rescued. Now, as Su Zhanze tries to find Longhun, it’s probably to completely eliminate him. Therefore, Longhun’s current situation must not be good; surely, he detests Su Zhanze. After analyzing this, Ren Haotian believed he had found the ally he needed for revenge.
