Chapter 24
The Secret of Yu Li Jing

It was a tradition, and Yu Li Jing deliberately wanted to praise Xun Wu You and let him show off.

With his sharp mind, Yu Li Jing guessed that the Emperor Confucian arranged for Xun Wu You to travel the world, perhaps to hone this rough gem.

Whether he would hold an important position in De Feng Ancient Path or replace a certain Venerable, it would depend on the Emperor Confucian's thoughts.

Xun Wu You was a food delivery guy before transmigration. He had a decent understanding of the nine-year compulsory education system, having finished junior high school. He had no experience in deployment. Before transmigration, he wrote a few online novels.

“Do we even need to discuss this?” Xun Wu You continued, “Ni Shen Yang will definitely come, and does it really matter who he brings?”

This statement awakened everyone from their dreams.

It seemed like that was indeed the case!

What's the point of so much deployment?

Ni Shen Yang alone could defeat all five of them.

In the face of absolute strength, schemes and tricks are meaningless.

Jian Sui Feng mumbled, “So we should all charge at Ni Shen Yang? Will the three Venerables of the Imperial Lineage not intervene?”

Yu Li Jing frowned, “De Feng Ancient Path has dispatched two hundred Confucian scholars, which should be enough to restrain the three Venerables of the Imperial Lineage, but even if we join forces, we might not be able to take down Ni Shen Yang.”

“There’s still a chance of a draw, but you’re forgetting something. The Blood Dark Crystal Tower is causing chaos not just in Shenzhou, but also in the Netherworld. Right now, the Netherworld Lord is Kui Yu Jiang, isn't he?”

Xun Wu You spoke again, and the advantage of knowing the plot was evident now.

“Yes!” Dong Men Xuan De was delighted, “This old man has been thinking about contacting the Netherworld. This way, we can attack on two fronts and keep Ni Shen Yang occupied.”

Only Ni Shen Yang could resist Kui Yu Jiang in the Netherworld!

If the Netherworld attacked the Hunting Ground, would Ni Shen Yang continue his attack on the Righteousness Path, or would he go back to extinguish the fire?

Xun Wu You brought up the idea, and Yu Li Jing and Dong Men Xuan De reached a conclusion. Strategies were not the forte of Hu Die Jun and Jian Sui Feng, so they didn't participate.

“You’re quite the kid!” Hu Die Jun nodded, “You remind me of a friend.”

Xun Wu You asked, “Who?”

Hu Die Jun said leisurely, “The Shadow Man, Tan Wu Yu!”

“Damn!”

Xun Wu You rolled his eyes. Tan Wu Yu was known as the Moon Scholar, a veteran in the history of the Thunderbolt Play. He was renowned for his ability to govern both civil and military affairs, and his poetic title was extremely arrogant.

But there was no denying that Tan Wu Yu was a truly brilliant strategist.

However, Tan Wu Yu was insidious and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

He was a villain, not a hypocrite.

On the other side, Yu Li Jing and Dong Men Xuan De had almost finished their discussion. Dong Men Xuan De hastily left, likely to contact the Netherworld through special means.

Yu Li Jing smiled, “Let us wait for Ni Shen Yang's arrival and engage in a guerilla war. We don't need to fight desperately. We will wait until the Netherworld attacks the Hunting Ground, and Ni Shen Yang’s trouble will be resolved.”

He looked at Xun Wu You and nodded approvingly. Being able to do what others can't, thinking what others don’t, truly befitting a disciple personally taught by the Emperor Confucian. There are successors in De Feng Ancient Path!

Actually, Yu Li Jing was also Xun Wu You’s senior.

In Thunderbolt, which spans decades, almost everyone is older than Xun Wu You.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Hu Die Jun said, “Call me when we fight,” and then took Jian Sui Feng and left.

Only two people remained in the hall. Yu Li Jing said, “After repelling Ni Shen Yang, will we return together?”

“We’ll see,” Xun Wu You exhaled, his bangs swaying.

Destroying the Blood Dark Crystal Tower would complete the mission. The old ghost’s matter also needed to be dealt with. Honestly, De Feng Ancient Path was the safest place for now.

Before the conclusion of the Immortal Demon Battle, De Feng Ancient Path would be an impregnable fortress.

Several top Heavenly Foremosts and Transcendent Heavenly Foremosts from the Hao Zheng Five Paths were stationed here. Any boss would have to bypass De Feng Ancient Path intentionally or unintentionally.

It could be said that this was the best place for Xun Wu You to obtain his power pills steadily.

“Alright,” Yu Li Jing didn’t insist, “The Emperor Confucian Venerable has high hopes for you, so work hard.”

He sighed, filled with emotions.

Xun Wu You knew about Yu Li Jing's knot, and he casually said, “The Law Confucian Venerable isn't as indifferent and heartless as he seems.”

“Hmm?”

Yu Li Jing was a bit surprised.

Only he and Jun Feng Tian knew about their relationship in the entire Confucianism. Did Xun Wu You know something?

Xun Wu You laughed, “Are you saying that you and the Law Confucian Venerable are not father and son?”

“You…” Yu Li Jing was flustered.

Yu Li Jing joined the Confucianism because he knew Jun Feng Tian.

He worked hard and reached the position of Head of Affairs. He wanted to gain Jun Feng Tian’s recognition.

Unfortunately, Jun Feng Tian experienced a change, leading to a shift in his temperament. He became cold, spoke little, and kept people at arm’s length.

In addition, rumors spread, and Yu Li Jing’s promotion was too fast.

Exposing their relationship would make people think that he was using Jun Feng Tian’s influence.

Moreover, at his current position, he couldn’t act impulsively.

Even though Yu Li Jing also wanted to acknowledge Jun Feng Tian as his father, he always held back.

This was his knot, his secret.

“Alright,”

Xun Wu You casually said, “The Law Confucian Venerable will be proud of you for reaching your current position. The worries you have will be resolved.”

Yu Li Jing said, “I hope so,” and was about to say something else, but Xun Wu You was gone. A faint bitter smile appeared on his lips, and Yu Li Jing shook his head.

He was the senior, but it felt like he was being lectured.

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk. The Great Demon God, whom the Righteousness Path had been waiting for, finally arrived. His arrogant poetic title, his imposing aura, and the pressure he exuded shook the land for miles.

One person in the air, riding a Dragon Beast, swooped down.

“The Righteousness Path must be destroyed today! Dong Men Xuan De, prepare to die!”

At the same time, the three Venerables of the Imperial Lineage appeared.
