’Of all the times... The moment he came out, the Demon-slaying General remembered to contact the Qi Family. Since when was it the place of those wolf cubs to meddle in Anren Prefecture’s affairs?’
"I would not dare!" Lei Shouren hurriedly rose and cupped his hands.
"From this day forward, the Demon-slaying Bureau, Qiankun Academy, and the Chen Family will all follow my commands. No outsiders are to interfere."
"If anything goes wrong, I will bear the responsibility alone."
Yu Dongjun slowly stood up and shot Yu Sheng a cold glance.
The lecturers and Vice Generals hastily lowered their heads; the remark was clearly aimed at Yu Sheng.
"The Demon-slaying Bureau has suffered successive defeats. We can no longer hold back. You three must give your all on this mission."
The old man looked at the three from the Demon-slaying Bureau, then turned his gaze to one of the Martial Arts Academy Vice Mountains. "Chen Zihang, you will represent the Chen Family and accompany them."
"As for my Yu Family, aside from Yiru, I will send word to the clan and have Zhang’er enter the world."
"With six of you going out, I don’t need you to cleanse the Demon Mountain. First, bring me back the head of the Night Ghost!"
As Yu Dongjun’s voice faded,
everyone in the room looked up.
He had delayed mobilizing his own Mountain Master Disciple to enter the world, most likely to let Pei Zhang conserve his strength and only participate in the final contest.
After all, although the Mountain Master’s Magical Power was profound, his luck wasn’t very good.
In terms of strength, Pei Zhang was probably slightly inferior to Qian Yiru. To secure the greatest merit, this arrangement was the most strategic move.
To completely sideline Yu Sheng, the Mountain Master had truly gone all out this time.
"That won’t be necessary."
Just then, a calm voice suddenly spoke up.
Everyone looked over, slightly confused.
"Yiru, what do you mean by that?" Yu Dongjun frowned slightly.
"There’s no need to wait for Pei Zhang. I alone am sufficient to slay the Night Ghost. Just have them lead the way."
Qian Yiru stood up, ambled toward the door, and stated concisely, "My time is running out."
Yu Dongjun pondered for a few breaths before he understood.
After Yu Qiheng’s death, if no other Immortal Descendant took over, Qian Yiru’s Spiritual Power would gradually transform into Demon Power.
Given his Cultivation, this process should actually be quite long. But considering he still had to avenge his Master, his impatience was understandable.
"As expected of the Yu Family’s Mountain Master. Truly bold."
A smile suddenly appeared on Yu Dongjun’s lips. He was old and hadn’t originally intended to compete with others for this Mountain Master position.
But since he had to regain control of Anren Prefecture, winning this young man over would be a huge asset.
...
Lin Shu looked at the old man’s smiling, aged face, a strange feeling in his eyes.
’This little pavilion is truly full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.’
’First, there was that strange, sweet scent coming from the Chen Family Ancestor.’
Then, just as Qian Yiru passed by, Lin Shu detected a deeply hidden yet incredibly familiar scent.
’It wasn’t that his time is running out... it’s already gone.’
’He’d previously thought that wanting to take Anren Prefecture was pure fantasy, but after this visit, the situation seemed to have changed again.’
Thinking of this, Lin Shu sent a message via Essence Blood.
Yu Sheng reacted quickly, extending an arm and stating directly, "I, too, shall contribute to Anren Prefecture by sending one person."
Hearing this, the others immediately showed strange expressions.
Everyone knew that this Immortal Yu Sheng only had one capable disciple under him, and he was just a Core Formation Cultivator. How could he possibly be qualified to participate in slaying a Golden Core Realm Demon Monarch?
He was clearly seeing how grand the operation was and wanted a piece of the pie.
How could Mountain Master Yu possibly agree?
Sure enough, Yu Dongjun was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "I’ve already said, I am solely in charge of this mission. As for you, Immortal Yu Sheng, it’s best you don’t meddle in the affairs of my Anren Prefecture."
"As for that disciple of yours, it’s good enough if he can guard the few counties below. Put away that greed. Not every meritorious deed is one he’s qualified to join in on."
