Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 32 A mere feud for killing one's father is not worth mentioning.

"It would be very undignified of you to bring you to the 'Nine Heavens.' Would you like to do it yourself, or let us do it?"

Lian Shanxin gave Dai Yongzhen the opportunity to choose for himself.

This is true kindness.

Dai Yongzhen understood, so he looked at Lian Shanxin with gratitude in his eyes.

Everyone in the demonic sect knew that their struggle against the imperial court was a fight to the death.

Being able to choose how to die is already an act of mercy from the authorities.

"I'll handle it myself. I'll leave Yueying's side to you from now on."

Dai Yongzhen was not at ease with Dai Yueying, nor did she have much faith that Lian Shanxin would take good care of her.

However, Lian Shanxin's act of upholding justice for the boy deepened Dai Yongzhen's trust in Lian Shanxin.

If he's so kind to a complete stranger, surely he wouldn't be any worse to Dai Yueying, his classmate of several years with whom he had a somewhat ambiguous relationship?

Most importantly, he had no other choice.

Once a member of the Demonic Cult is exposed, unless they are an elder like "Thousand Faces," ordinary disciples of the Demonic Cult have only one fate.

"Sir, we..."

Qi Wenbin wanted to say something more.

But Du Jiu kicked him and then pulled Qi Wenbin out of the room.

Lian Shanxin did not stop Du Jiu.

He could only sigh inwardly once again that Qi Shiyun's judgment was indeed correct; Du Jiu was indeed more promising than Qi Wenbin.

Outside.

Qi Wenbin also expressed his dissatisfaction to Du Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, why won't you let me speak?"

Du Jiu pulled Qi Wenbin into the courtyard, and only after confirming that he couldn't hear the conversation inside the room did he explain, "What do you want to remind the adults about?"

"Of course we can't just make enemies with the governor's son," Qi Wenbin said. "He is the governor's son, after all."

“Investigating the governor of Jiangzhou is one of the reasons we came to Jiangzhou this time. How do you know that taking action against the governor wasn't Lord 'Heavenly Sword's' intention?”

Qi Wenbin was taken aback.

Du Jiu said solemnly, "Brother Qi, remember, we have already been assigned to Young Master Xin by Scholar Qi. Do you understand what this means?"

"It means that our future life, death, honor, and disgrace will all depend on Young Master Xin," Qi Wenbin said.

Du Jiu added, "It also means that, like Qi Tanhua, Young Master Xin has the talent for cultivating immortality. Young Master Xin's future is to reach the same level as Qi Tanhua."

Qi Wenbin nodded silently: "That's why I think that since Young Master Xin is still young, we should help him fill in the gaps and make up for his shortcomings. We can't let Young Master Xin do things that harm others and himself because of his youthful impetuosity or excessive compassion."

"The 'Nine Heavens' ironclad rule: tasks assigned from above must be carried out whether you understand them or not. Brother Qi, we don't need to overthink it. Young Master Xin comes from an ordinary background; he'll cherish his future more than we do. Besides, haven't you realized it yet?"

"what?"

"Young Master Xin is smarter than both of us."

Du Jiu vividly remembers Lian Shanxin's methods and rhetoric when the Qu family's property was disposed of yesterday.

Today, he suddenly transformed into a resolute and fearless young man who defies authority.

Dai Yongzhen has been brainwashed by the evil cult and has become senile. He believes it, but Du Jiu does not.

Du Jiu glanced at Qi Wenbin beside him and shook his head helplessly.

He did not feel any joy because he had defeated Qi Wenbin.

Everyone will be working under Young Master Xin from now on, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they'll be working together many times. He hopes his partner will be even smarter. Qi Wenbin isn't his competitor; the biggest problem is if he can't quickly break through his current level.

"Brother Qi, from now on we should talk less and do more, and improve our strength as quickly as possible, so as not to fall behind Young Master Xin's pace of progress. You know how fast Qi Tanhua rose to prominence back then. Who remembers the two people who were first assigned to Qi Tanhua now?"

Qi Wenbin's expression changed slightly: "Xiao Jiu, you're right. We all need to improve our strength quickly. If Young Master Xin has half the cultivation speed of Qi Tanhua, we'll probably have a hard time keeping up and will be replaced by newcomers. Hmm? Dai Yueying is back?"

"Control her."

Du Jiu made a decision quickly.

at this time.

There was a knock on the Dai family's door from the outside.

Du Jiu opened the door from the inside.

Dai Yueying appeared inside the door.

Lian Shanxin happened to walk out of Dai Yongzhen's room.

Eyes facing each other.

Dai Yueying was stunned when she saw Lian Shanxin.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Wenbin instantly struck Dai Yueying's pressure point.

He then threw Dai Yueying into Lian Shanxin's arms.

"Sir, your classmate is now in your care. Xiao Jiu and I will keep a close watch on the gate."

Qi Wenbin has evolved rapidly.

Strive to demonstrate your loyalty and competence.

Lian Shanxin was somewhat surprised as he put an arm around Dai Yueying, who had already lost her abilities.

But he still gave Du Jiu and Qi Wenbin each an appreciative look.

This saved him the trouble of explaining.

Yes, he is still unconsciously influenced by the ideas from his previous life, and he is essentially very respectful of others.

But actually, there's no need to explain so much to Du Jiu and Qi Wenbin.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. With that thought, Lian Shanxin put his arm around Dai Yueying and walked back into the room.

As soon as she entered, Dai Yueying saw Dai Yongzhen, who had already lost his breath.

The whole person is not well.

"My father..."

"died."

Dai Yueying froze, "Why...why?"

“Your father is a member of the Demonic Sect. His identity has been exposed, and he has no choice but to die.”

"What? My father is a member of the Demonic Cult? That's impossible."

Dai Yueying had just recovered from her shock when she froze again: "How could my father be a member of the Demonic Sect?"

She also joined the evil cult and didn't know her father.

Lian Shanxin was naturally unaware that Dai Yueying had also joined the Demonic Sect.

However, this didn't stop him from trying to trick Dai Yueying: "It seems you haven't met Master Dai in the Demonic Sect?"

Dai Yueying instinctively wanted to nod, but fortunately, the acupressure point stopped her from making a sound.

"Brother Xin, what are you talking about?"

Lian Shanxin narrowed his eyes.

A Qi Condensation Realm cultivation level is insufficient for Lian Shanxin to monitor others' Qi and blood fluctuations throughout the entire process, just like the "Heavenly Sword".

His talent had just been activated, but it hasn't been activated again yet; it seems to still be in a refractory period.

But even after seeing her "biological father" die, and possibly driven to his death by herself, Dai Yueying still called him "Brother Xin".

This just doesn't make sense, no matter what.

"Dai Yueying, when did you join the Demonic Sect?"

"Brother Xin, what you're saying is getting stranger and stranger."

"It seems you're not on the 'Blood Guanyin' line, but on the 'Thousand Faces' line?"

Lian Shanxin was somewhat surprised.

If that's the case, does "Thousand Faces" know Dai Yueying's true identity?

"Has anyone ever told you that you are born with an alluring inner beauty?" Lian Shanxin continued to ask.

Dai Yueying was under pressure point manipulation and unable to make any other movements.

But at this moment, Lian Shanxin, who was always good at observation and subjective judgment, was 90% certain that Dai Yueying knew about his constitution.

This also confirmed her identity as a member of the Demonic Cult to be 90% certain.

Then, I took a deep breath of the aroma.

"The number of demonic cult members around me is really too much. Or has the entire Jiangzhou City been infiltrated by the demonic cult to such an extent?"

"It should be the latter. I can't take myself too seriously. The number of demonic cult members around me suddenly increased after I came into contact with the White Deer Cave Academy circle, and it has little to do with me personally."

"But there are so many heretics and demons in Jiangzhou. Could it be that the governor of Jiangzhou is really colluding with the heretics?"

Lian Shanxin suddenly felt that this speculation could not be completely ruled out.

He may have framed himself, and he may have just been a prophet.

Of course, that's for the future.

The most urgent task is to deal with Dai Yueying.

With his right hand resting on Dai Yueying's slender neck, Lian Shanxin asked softly, "Was it a mission assigned to you by the Demonic Sect to deliberately approach me?"

"No... Brother Xin, it hurts, please be gentle."

Lianshan did not soften his tone.

He smiled and increased the pressure on his hand.

“I’ve already joined ‘Nine Heavens.’ I don’t even need to report to my superiors if I kill one or two members of the Demonic Sect. Dai Yueying, do you think I’d dare to kill you directly?”

As Lian Shanxin exerted even more force, Dai Yueying, under the threat of death, finally chose to surrender: "It was Master... Master's arrangement... cough cough, cough cough cough..."

Lian Shanxin released his hand.

Dai Yueying immediately started coughing loudly.

Who is your master?

At this moment, Dai Yueying's gaze towards Lian Shanxin carried seven parts fear, three parts hatred, and ninety parts deeply hidden ambiguity.

"A thousand faces".

Lian Shanxin's smile faded slightly.

It truly has a thousand faces.

Dai Yueying's identity is becoming increasingly troublesome.

"Brother Xin, could you choke me again?"

Dai Yueying's words startled Lian Shanxin.

"You are sick?"

Dai Yueying blushed slightly: "I didn't have it before, but just now... I suddenly felt like I did."
