Chapter 1283 - 1283 1269 Ren Haotian Didnt Die

Chapter 1283: Chapter 1269: Ren Haotian Didn’t Die Chapter 1283: Chapter 1269: Ren Haotian Didn’t Die “I think you should give up,” Ye Chen said.

The Black Demonic Spirit angrily retorted, “Why should I give up?”

“You’re indecisive; I’ve given you a solution, yet you can’t even make a decision. Still dreaming of getting married? Give it up.”

“Who says I can’t make a decision?”

“Then hurry up and make one. I thought you’d have it figured out overnight, yet here you are still dithering,” Ye Chen continued to walk on.

Wan Liyun was the most proactive one. He didn’t believe the letter from the previous night at all. In fact, it was precisely because of that letter that he was convinced Su Zhanze was afraid, otherwise why would he make up such an excuse?

Ye Chen nodded to Wan Liyun.

Wan Liyun said, “Ye Chen, don’t believe the content of that letter.”

Ye Chen smiled and kept walking forward. Soon he ran into Guan Xun and asked, “By the way, Guan Xun, last night your master had you deliver a letter to the Sect Leader of the Immortal City Sect, did you get a reply?” He asked without much hope.

“They told us to come over,” Wan Liyun said.

The Black Demonic Spirit smirked and remarked, “I knew it would end up like this.”

Ye Chen glanced around; it was clear everyone was making their final preparations.

Guan Xun called out to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, Su Zhanze is behind this.”

Ye Chen turned around, unsure why he was so certain, and asked, “Oh, have you got any proof?”

Guan Xun said, “We received a letter this morning, a message that came from the Central Plains.”

“What message?”

Guan Xun revealed, “It’s about who really harmed Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren.”

“Wasn’t it Ren Xiongbei who plotted against Fang Ziren for the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual?”

“You’re wrong, it seems you’re also mistaken. It wasn’t Ren Xiongbei who did it; it was Su Zhanze.”

Ye Chen, growing curious, asked, “Su Zhanze?”

“Yes, somebody anonymously sent a letter to all the major sects in the Demon Domain a few days ago. It started by asking them if they wanted to know who held the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.”

The Black Demonic Spirit enquired, “Whose hands is it in?” He had also heard that after Fang Ziren died and Ren Xiongbei was killed, the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual vanished along with them, and no one knows where it is to this day.

Guan Xun continued, “The second question in the letter was about Su Zhanze’s martial arts skills improving miraculously fast. Did you ever wonder why? He’s been using the martial arts techniques from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.”

The Black Demonic Spirit looked at Ye Chen and said, “I heard that in just three rounds, he determined the outcome of the fight with the Tianye Demon. Ye Chen, can you do that?”

Ye Chen had exchanged moves with the Tianye Demon and knew that defeating the Tianye Demon in three rounds was impossible. Without the assistance of the Red Demonic Spirit, it would have been a feat just to avoid defeat within three rounds. He shook his head.

The Black Demonic Spirit urged, “Keep talking, Guan Xun.”

Guan Xun went on, “The letter then stated that Su Zhanze got his hands on the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. It continued, analyzing that someone who almost fell into demonic cultivation could safely emerge within half a year was already astounding. Not only did his martial arts improve rapidly, but they were also more authentic than the techniques Longhun and Ye Chen used from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. Let’s not forget, everyone from the Immortal City Sect knows that Su Zhanze’s martial arts was derived from the Dragon Slayer Sword, not the most authentic. It was because he forcibly practiced the martial arts from the Dragon Slayer Sword that he almost fell into demonic cultivation. Yet, he managed to come out of it, and his skills significantly improved. From this, we deduce that the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual is in Su Zhanze’s hands.”

The Black Demonic Spirit said, “Ye Chen, you have the most say in this matter. I heard from the Red Demonic Spirit that you stealthily learned the martial arts from that ring and only managed to cultivate it with the help of a book, is that right?”

Ye Chen slightly nodded.

Guan Xun declared, “Yes, so there’s reason to believe that Longhun holds the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, and the deductions in the letter are correct. It went on to ask how Su Zhanze got his hands on the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. Have you ever suspected it might be the half-manual in the possession of Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei? If it was their manual, how did it end up with Su Zhanze? Surely you suspect whether Ren Xiongbei’s final defense under the walls of Immortal City was the truth.”

The Black Demonic Spirit looked at Ye Chen and stated, “No, there’s another possibility. You may not know that Su Zhanze captured Longhun. He could have forced Longhun to write down the true Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.”

Ye Chen shook his head; he knew Longhun too well and said, “No, Su Zhanze might indeed coerce Longhun, but Longhun would never give a complete manual to Su Zhanze. He’d just toy with him, making him practice to the point of obsession, never to emerge.”

The Black Demonic Spirit was astounded and said, “So, Su Zhanze managed to practice his current martial arts because he obtained the half-manual from Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren.”

Guan Xun asked, “Ye Chen, you witnessed Su Zhanze’s martial arts yesterday. How skillful is he really, and more importantly, compared to before, has he retrained the martial arts from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual? You would know best.”

Indeed, Su Zhanze’s martial arts skills had taken him by surprise. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes last night, he wouldn’t have believed it was true. After Su Zhanze set down the Dragon Slayer Sword, Ye Chen admitted to himself that he stood no chance of defeating him.

“It seems that the deductions in the letter were correct.”

Guan Xun continued, “Right after that letter, it was supplemented by how exactly Su Zhanze drove Fang Ziren insane, stole the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, and ultimately framed Ren Xiongbei. It also surmised that Ren Xiongbei was compromised by Su Zhanze because Ren Xiongbei knew the truth. Su Zhanze acted to silence him, fearing that his own secrets would be exposed.”

Ye Chen asked curiously, “Does it not mention how Ren Xiongbei’s son and the second half of the secret manual in Ren Xiongbei’s hands ended up with Su Zhanze?”

“That isn’t included here, but it does clearly describe how Su Zhanze drove Fang Ziren insane and then framed Ren Xiongbei, as if the writer had witnessed it themselves.”

Ye Chen seemed suddenly intrigued and said, “Then tell me, how does the letter say Su Zhanze framed Ren Xiongbei?”

The Black Demonic Spirit didn’t know why Ye Chen had suddenly become so interested in this.

Guan Xun said, “The letter states that Su Zhanze leveraged his position in the Immortal City Sect to secretly learn Ren Xiongbei’s martial arts. With the Heavenly Pearl in his hand, he made Xiong Shuobo mistake it for Ren Xiongbei’s Immortal Pearl, and he then led the disciples of the Immortal City Sect to make Xiong Shuobo mistakenly believe they were Ren Xiongbei’s subordinates.”

The Black Demonic Spirit said, “Only Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei knew the exchange location for the secret manuals. How did Su Zhanze find out? And why didn’t he show up that night?” Despite being in the thirty-six islands, he had heard quite a bit about Fang Ziren and Ren Xiongbei, puzzled about why Ren Xiongbei did not appear that night if it was Su Zhanze’s doing.

Guan Xun smiled and said, “Your question is addressed in the letter. Besides Ren Xiongbei, the person closest to him, someone called Xiang Zi who was responsible for conveying messages for Ren Xiongbei, was the one who informed Su Zhanze of the exchange location. Moreover, he imitated the handwriting in the letter, but changed the content to cancel the exchange for that night, claiming Fang Ziren had something come up and couldn’t make it, thus deceiving Ren Xiongbei.”

“Then his imitation skills must be remarkable, since Ren Xiongbei couldn’t tell it wasn’t Fang Ziren’s handwriting,” said the Black Demonic Spirit skeptically.

Guan Xun replied, “No, the letter also explained why Ren Xiongbei was deceived—the letter had fallen into water and gotten wet.”

“What, fallen into water and got wet?”

“Yes, otherwise Ren Xiongbei would never have been deceived. That’s why Ren Xiongbei didn’t go that night.”

The Black Demonic Spirit laughed, “How did the complete Dragon Slaying Secret Manual end up being found on Ren Xiongbei then?”

Guan Xun smiled again and said, “I knew you would ask that. If I hadn’t read the letter, I would have been just as puzzled as you. The letter explained that it was Ren Xiongbei’s lover, Lin Ruoqin, who did it. When the Qingxuan Sect and the Heavenly City Sect found Ren Xiongbei, it was at Lin Ruoqin’s house where the two manuals fell, deceiving everyone. The letter said those were just the covers of the manuals; the insides were blank. After Ren Xiongbei escaped, he realized what had happened, allowing everyone to be misled. In fact, Lin Ruoqin had pulled the old switcheroo.”

After hearing this, the Black Demonic Spirit clapped his hands, exclaiming, “Absolutely fascinating, seamless indeed.”

“Yes, I also think it’s seamless.”

“Who wrote that anonymous letter, and how could they describe it as if they had seen it themselves?”

Ye Chen then said, “I should know who it is. Except for him, no one else could understand it so clearly, analyze it so thoroughly.”

The Black Demonic Spirit looked at him and asked, “Who?”

“Ren Haotian.”

“What, you think Ren Haotian?”

Ye Chen asked, “Guan Xun, did the anonymous letter happen in these last few days?”

“Yes, anyway, I received the news this morning.”

“It seems this information is indeed very timely,” Ye Chen said and then asked, “Where is your master now?”

“He should still be over there.”

“Then let’s go find your master.”

Guan Xun didn’t understand what Ye Chen meant and asked, “Ye Chen, do you know why I told you all this?”

“Why?”

“Don’t you think this matter is very similar to what happened on Taiping Island?”

“It is indeed very similar.” Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Guan Xun continued, “Through that letter, we can basically deduce that the one who drove Fang Ziren mad, framed Ren Xiongbei, and obtained the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual was Su Zhanze. Su Zhanze is such a villain, just that no one knows it yet. But this letter has just revealed exactly what kind of person Su Zhanze is, someone who would use any means necessary to achieve his goals.”

The Black Demonic Spirit nodded and said, “Hmm, indeed he does seem ruthless.”

“I heard that he framed the Immortal City Sect to destroy Ren Xiongbei’s reputation for the position of the Sect Leader of the Immortal City. It seems that it’s all true.” Guan Xun added, “Thus, what he did on Taiping Island now makes sense. Ye Chen, you don’t need to try to clear his name anymore, framing Ren Xiongbei and deceiving everyone. Now, he’s caught red-handed, and he still tries to pin it on Longhun.”
