Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 434 Gu Zhao: I'll be careful
"Yun Fei'ang practices demonic arts; he's a demon!"

"Yun Feiang plans to visit the Daluo Palace in a while."

"what?"

All the old Taoists who heard Gu Zhao's telepathic message were somewhat stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"Is he an idiot?" Master Yihong asked.

"Have you lost your mind?" Master Shenhao asked.

"So confident?" Master Jingfeng asked.

"I finally understand why he was hostile towards me."

Gu Zhao said thoughtfully, "The Netherfire Cult Master cultivates demonic arts, turning the area under Black Rock Mountain into a demonic realm. The Ink Dragon of Ink Lake also cultivates demonic arts, and the bottom of Ink Lake has long been transformed into a demon. These things are not secrets."

This news might be something ordinary people would just hear and forget, but for Yun Feiang, who also cultivated demonic arts, it meant that he and our Great Luo Palace were mortal enemies.

“That’s right.” Daoist Yansong stroked his long beard. “Our Daluo Palace’s way of doing things and style is no secret. Those who commit heinous crimes and wantonly kill will be killed on sight and never let go.”

“Since Shanzhou is adjacent to Jiangzhou, we will have to go to Shanzhou to do our bidding sooner or later. Yun Feiang’s strength is only about the same as Mo Jiao’s, so he is not worthy of our fear.” Daoist Mingyu nodded.

"So what's he doing here?" Master Qingyuan asked curiously. "Is he here to curry favor, hoping we'll let him off the hook if things get exposed later?"

"They might also be trying to gauge our intentions or find our weaknesses," Master Yuzhang pondered.

"Is it possible that this is to lower the sect leader's guard and then find an opportunity to take the initiative?" Master Qingwei asked. "He came to the Great Luo Palace as a guest first, and then invited the sect leader to the appointment. Surely the sect leader wouldn't refuse?"

"Huh?" Everyone was startled. "That makes sense!"

"Since we are destined to be enemies, let's strike first before we know his background. If we can really take down the sect leader, no one else will be a match for him," Daoist Yanling transmitted his voice.

"It's a pity he's so clever. He doesn't know that the sect leader can see the murderous aura emanating from him, nor does he know that Senior Brother Huaiyi and the others have already discovered his secret," Master Jingchun said with a smile.

"So, should we take action when he first arrives and leave him on Mount Cuiluo?" Yun Yang asked.

"Is there any need to say more?" Gu Zhao declared decisively. "When the time comes, we'll just expose the three hundred miles of demonic territory beneath the Cloud Heaven Divine Palace, and then no one in the world will gossip."

……

This discussion via telepathy took place after Gu Zhao saw Yun Feiang off, during his return to Bailing Mountain with Bai Fei and Ye Yunsheng.

After the discussion ended, everyone returned to Bailing Mountain.

Both Bai Ling Mountain and the Holy Union Sect are undoubtedly righteous forces. They know each other well and can be considered friends. Otherwise, Ye Yunsheng would not have stopped Bai Fei on the way to Hongguang Mountain to travel with them.

Returning to Wangzhou and making a detour to Bailing Mountain was on the way. Madam Ye was also craving a taste of Baihua Wine, so they returned to Bailing Mountain together and stayed for two more days.

Upon arriving at Bailing Mountain, Madam Ye unexpectedly found herself chatting with Zhuo Qingyan.

Because Madam Ye's background was very similar to Zhuo Qingyan's, she was also the daughter of a schoolteacher in Wangzhou, and even because of her upright character, she was framed and almost lost her family.

But she was luckier than Zhuo Qingyan, because Ye Yunsheng appeared just in time and discovered that Madam Ye and he were in perfect harmony. So he took action and resolved the crisis in Madam Ye's family. He then cultivated with Madam Ye and they got married. With similar backgrounds, personalities, and experiences, Madam Ye and Zhuo Qingyan quickly became best friends, which also brought Ye Yunsheng and Gu Zhao closer.

Ye Yunsheng, the leader of the Holy Union Sect, is also a master whose cultivation is no less than Bai Fei's. Gu Zhao is happy to befriend this expert from Wangzhou so that he can have someone to look after him when he travels in Wangzhou in the future.

Since the two ladies were on good terms, Ye Yunsheng could speak a little more deeply about some things.

"Yun Fei'ang is arrogant and disdainful of outsiders. He acts in a way that is both righteous and wicked, and I've heard that he's difficult to get along with."

Ye Yunsheng thought for a moment, "I've met him twice before, but we didn't get to know each other well. I feel that he's changed quite a bit this time. When you're interacting with him, be careful."

Gu Zhao's eyes flashed, and he said seriously, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Ye."

As the saying goes, one should not speak too deeply with someone you don't know well. This is the first time I've met Ye Yunsheng and Yun Feiang. No one can predict what will happen in the future. If I become good friends with Yun Feiang in the future, Ye Yunsheng's words will be considered a despicable act.

Given Ye Yunsheng's age and experience, he shouldn't have said these words to me, but since he did, it proves that the other party considers me a friend.

Gu Zhao glanced at Bai Fei beside him, and saw that Bai Fei also nodded, "As far as I know, he also contributed to the withdrawal of Xuanwei Divine Sect and Lingfa Court from Shanzhou back then."

Gu Zhao smiled slightly, "Then Yun Fei'ang is similar to Mo Zichen."

"Hmm?" Bai Fei and Ye Yunsheng looked at Gu Zhao, not understanding what he meant.

“They killed many people,” Gu Zhao said calmly.

Bai Fei thought for a moment, and although she disliked Yun Feiang's actions, she still explained, "Yuntian Divine Palace is not like Bailing Mountain or the Holy Union Sect. He has many demons and monsters under his command, and they are not benevolent."

“There are many people who are no less powerful than the Lord of the Netherfire Cult,” Gu Zhao added.

Bai Fei and Ye Yunsheng were also surprised to hear this.

"The leader of the Netherfire Cult practices demonic arts and has killed countless people. Although Yun Feiang is not a good person either, he has protected a region and has not committed such a great massacre, has he?" Bai Fei asked with some doubt.

Ye Yunsheng, however, thought of Gu Zhao's words that had exposed Mo Zichen's true nature. He also knew less about Yun Feiang than Bai Fei, and had fewer preconceived notions. "So he either secretly eats people or kills people in private to refine treasures."

Bai Fei also recalled what had just happened. Compared to Yun Feiang, she naturally trusted Gu Zhao more, so she followed up on her earlier assessment of the Netherfire Cult Leader, "Could he also be secretly practicing demonic arts?"

After he finished speaking, all three of them fell silent.

"Surely not?" This time it was Ye Yunsheng's turn to be skeptical. "Yun Fei'ang is arrogant and is said to have the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc, a great demon with the potential to ascend to immortality. He wouldn't stoop so low as to cultivate demonic arts, would he?"

"Now that you've noticed something's wrong with Yun Feiang, you'll have to be careful from now on," Bai Fei reminded him. "Bai Ling Mountain is in Jiangbei. If you need anything, just send someone to find me."

Bai Fei reminded him, "Yun Feiang's cultivation is even higher than that of the Black Dragon. If he truly cultivates demonic arts, his magical power will be even stronger."

Ye Yunsheng glanced at Madam Ye, who was chatting enthusiastically with Zhuo Qingyan, and said to Gu Zhao, "I usually stay at the Holy Union Sect. If you need anything, you can send someone to find me."

Gu Zhao nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Sister Fei, thank you, Brother Ye. I will be careful."

Be careful, or he might escape from the Great Luo Palace...
