Chapter 344: I Sentence You to Death! [10,000 Words for Monthly Votes] (Part 1)

The Starlight Commander solemnly said, "Duan Shouzuo is the idol I've admired all my life. If I achieve success, I'll do my utmost to assist you in ascending to the heavens."

Starlet smiled slightly and took a deep breath, saying, "I hope there will be such a day. The road ahead is long, and we must strive forward."

"If there truly is such a day, then I, Starlight, will not have lived in vain."

"I hope it will be as you say, Starlet. But for now, I also need to help you get through the crisis at Yi Xin Jiao."

The Starlight Commander smiled calmly.

"These are all minor matters!"

Starlet laughed, "When I leave, I'll personally pay a visit to Yin Shengong."

The Starlight Commander pondered and said, "Starlet, you should be careful. After all, we in the lower ranks are unaware of the battles in the upper echelons. It's understandable that the Sect Master is doing this. To be honest, I personally have no grudges against the Sect Master."

Facing Starlet, he sincerely said, "Starlet, these are my true feelings. From now on... just stay alive."

Starlet nodded slightly and said, "Not bad. Starlight, I'm glad that you can treat Yin Shengong this way today. Because in the future, you will also treat me the same."

"Starlet, you're being too serious."

The Starlight Commander blushed and said.

The two returned to the pavilion and sat down at the stone table, their moods now completely different.

Because they were now family.

The Starlight Commander communicated through the Five Spirit Toad and revealed Night Demon's name, then proactively requested to add Starlet to his contacts.

Starlet readily agreed, and they added each other.

Starlet laughed, "Starlight, your name is actually empty."

The Starlight Commander smiled bitterly, "I'm called Starlight now, but who knows what will happen in the future? I might not even survive, let alone know what name I'll have. So, I didn't bother choosing one. Besides, my communication jade can only receive orders and not give them. It's embarrassing not to have a name."

Starlet laughed and added the Starlight Commander as 'Starlight' to his contacts, forever fixing his name as 'Starlight' in Starlet's contact list.

Starlet smiled faintly and showed the Starlight Commander his name after adding it, saying, "Now, you have a name in my contacts."

The Starlight Commander expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Starlet. Perhaps from now on, the name Starlight truly belongs to me, haha."

The two smiled at each other, both feeling that from this moment, they were truly their own people.

They put away their communication jades.

"Starlight, since we're family, I'll speak frankly."

Starlet said, "This trip will likely be my last for a long time. So, if you need anything or have any requests, just tell me."

He smiled faintly, "Basically, whatever issues you encounter, I can still help you resolve them without a problem."

The Starlight Commander frowned and after a moment of thought, said, "There is indeed one matter that I find extremely tricky at the moment."

Starlet smiled and nodded, "Tricky? Tell me."

In his heart, he hadn't expected that his casual remark would prompt this guy to actually give him a task.

It was truly... sincere.

But he didn't voice these thoughts, keeping them hidden as he smiled warmly, as if nothing had happened.

"It's about the Heaven's Escort Bureau and Yi Xin Jiao's branch."

The Starlight Commander sighed and said, "This matter is a bit difficult. The last time the Sect Master came for an inspection, I mentioned it, and he said it was a tricky situation."

"Hmm?"

Starlet frowned.

Even Yin Shengong found it tricky?

"It's about the Mountain Shift Sect's identity for the escort chief."

The Starlight Commander explained the whole situation, saying, "...So, we've been using the Mountain Shift Sect's identity, but it's full of risks. Just a few days ago, two people from the Mountain Shift Sect came... so I killed them."

Starlet smiled faintly and said, "I thought it was something, but it turned out to be the Mountain Shift Sect."

He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, you don't need to worry about this. I'll send someone to clean it up and have the Mountain Shift Sect cooperate with you."

He stood up, a smile on his face, and said, "Starlight, let's have a drink."

The Starlight Commander said, "It's only right that I show you hospitality as the host."

"Alright then."

Starlet said, "You prepare the food, and I'll get the wine."

So, the two began discussing various rumors and historical legends from the martial world.

By the afternoon, the registration was almost done, and it was time for the Starlight Commander, as the recipient of the report, to excuse himself.

Finally, he had a chance to leave.

He apologized and went out to prepare the wine and food.

The cold wind blew, and he felt a cold sweat on his back, chilling him to the bone.

That was close.

...

Today, he had essentially died twice.

Starlet's mind was undoubtedly sharp.

The first time he suspected he was Night Demon, and the second time was when he forced him to pledge allegiance.

Both times were certain death sentences.

Because he knew Night Demon would never serve him; Yan Beihan and Heaven Yin had placed heavy bets on Night Demon, and he would never take her away.

So, once he confirmed Night Demon's identity, it would be his own death sentence.

Furthermore, when he demanded a pledge of allegiance, it was not only a sincere attempt to recruit him but also a test. If he had already sworn allegiance to another, especially with the Heavenly Scorpion God as witness, this pledge would be invalid.

It was also a death sentence.

But Fang Che's Infinite True Sutra could suppress the Five Spirit Toad, allowing him to narrowly escape danger.

As he patted his chest, he could still feel the pain from earlier when the long sword pierced his chest, cutting through his flesh and blood. At that moment, Starlet's heart was filled with murderous intent!

Fang Che took a deep breath, feeling deeply that these demons were truly difficult to deal with.

He loudly arranged for people to prepare food and drinks, his face beaming with joy, while holding a communication jade and reporting to Yin Shengong.

Today, there were many lies that needed Yin Shengong's help to cover up.

If he gave Star Shao and Yin Shengong a chance to talk, and the old demon accidentally let something slip, it would be a disaster for him.

"Master, there's an urgent matter, it's extremely important!"

Fang Che sent the message.

...

Over at Yin Shengong, in the main headquarters of Yi Xin Jiao, the days felt like years.

Hai Wuliang was lurking outside like a ghost.

Yin Shengong had organized dozens of ambushes, setting up traps to lure out and kill Hai Wuliang.

But Hai Wuliang was an old hand in the game, and after dozens of attempts, they only managed to lure him out twice, and he escaped successfully both times.

Yi Xin Jiao had lost four lives in vain.

Even Qian Sanjiang was slightly injured.

Yin Shengong was furious.

The report had already been sent up, and headquarters said they would send people, but they hadn't arrived yet.

The Southeast Headquarters did dispatch a six-person action team, but before they reached Yi Xin Jiao, they were ambushed by Hai Wuliang, who killed four of them.

The remaining two, heavily injured, fled to the main headquarters of Yi Xin Jiao and were still lying there.

Yin Shengong was speechless.

Are you letting him off the hook? Don't you know Hai Wuliang's strength in the Southeast Headquarters? Sending six Venerables at the initial and middle stages to capture Hai Wuliang, isn't that just delivering food to his door?

I've been waiting for the heavens and earth to send me two seriously injured people to take care of?

Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly received a message from the Southeast Headquarters.

Moreover, it was sent by the Chief Administrator himself.

"Yin Shengong, congratulations."

Yin Shengong was confused: "Chief Administrator Wu, what's there to congratulate me about?"

"Your Yi Xin Jiao Baiyunzhou branch has passed the assessment and has been designated as a Star-level branch. This is the first Star-level branch in our Southeast Headquarters. Vice Sect Master Yan has personally ordered you to go and receive the reward."

At that moment.

Yin Shengong felt a surge of happiness and excitement throughout his body, his face turning red with emotion.

"It's done!"

He couldn't help but shout out loud.

Then he quickly replied, "Yes, Chief Administrator, should I leave now?"

"Not bad. This time, you need to be prepared, the reward might not just be a matter of five thousand points."

Chief Administrator Wu smiled.

"I understand," Yin Shengong said. "But with Hai Wuliang roaming outside like a ghost, killing everyone he sees, and he's a high-level Venerable, if I leave now... I'm afraid something will happen to the sect."

Chief Administrator Wu quickly understood Yin Shengong's concern and said, "Then you don't need to worry. I've already sent eight high-level Venerables, and the headquarters has also secretly set up an ambush outside your Yi Xin Jiao to capture Hai Wuliang. You understand, right?"

"I understand, I understand."

Yin Shengong finally felt relieved.

Chief Administrator Wu then said, "Yin Shengong, according to my information, Vice Sect Master Yan might summon you. Do you know what to do?"

"I understand! I understand!!!"

Yin Shengong's heart was suddenly filled with joy, almost to the point of bursting.

Finally, Yin Shengong's luck has turned.

He began to pack in a hurry, his heart filled with joy.

Vice Sect Master Yan is summoning me personally! There must be something else, otherwise, it's impossible for it to be just because of a branch.

But what will Vice Sect Master Yan ask me? Yin Shengong quickly recalled all the events to ensure he could answer whatever the Vice Sect Master asked.

Chief Administrator Wu said, "Yin Shengong, this time, you need to be careful. Those aristocratic families, the ones that were killed by the Night Demon, haha..."

Yin Shengong broke out in a cold sweat, his body trembling.

After calming down, he said, "Thank you, Chief Administrator Wu, for your reminder. I'll remember this for the rest of my life."

Chief Administrator Wu smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't remind you of anything."

Yin Shengong's face turned serious as he slowly walked and began to think.

The Vice Sect Master is summoning me... how can I not go? But if I go...

He hesitated for a long time.

Then he called Mu Lin Yuan and the others: "Old Mu, you can postpone your closed-door training for now and take charge of the sect's affairs. I'm going to the headquarters, and if there's anything, I'll report to you."

Mu Lin Yuan, who was about to enter closed-door training to break through to the Venerable level, immediately agreed.

"The branch has passed the assessment and met the requirements. Well done, Night Demon."

Yin Shengong couldn't hide his excitement and explained.

Mu Lin Yuan immediately said, "Then the Night Demon must lie low. The Sect Master should make him behave."

Yin Shengong slowly nodded: "That's for sure. When I go to the main temple, if I'm fortunate enough to meet the Vice Sect Master, I'll ask him to solve the issue with the Mountain Shift Gate."

"Otherwise, after the headquarters' people leave, if the Mountain Shift Gate refuses to give us identities, we won't have anyone to use here."

"The Sect Master's vision is far-sighted."

"Hou Fang, how are the people you selected to go to the Baiyunzhou branch?"

"I've selected eight hundred, sixty of them are Martial Marquis level, and the rest are Martial Commander level."

"All the things brought back, the escort agency's situation, the escort routes, the law, customs, and so on... everyone must remember them clearly."

"I've told the Night Demon that our people will be better than those he trained. We must not have any problems. If anything happens, Hou Fang, you'll be responsible!"

Yin Shengong warned.

Hou Fang: "...I'll be responsible?"

He was suddenly at a loss.

You two are betting, and I'm responsible? "Is it me, or you?" Yin Shengong asked sternly.

"Okay."

Hou Fang decided to go back and train those rabbit brats.

If they lose people in Baiyunzhou, I'll beat them to death!

After finishing the arrangements, Yin Shengong still didn't let Mu Lin Yuan and the others leave, as he frowned in deep thought.

Mu Lin Yuan and the others dared not leave, knowing that the Yin Shen Palace had something important to say.

Yin Shen Palace furrowed his brows, deep in thought for a long time.

Finally, he spoke softly, "This time, the deputy sect master has summoned us to commend the Baiyunzhou branch of the Yixin Sect. This is a great opportunity for our sect, but there are a few things that worry me."

"Please instruct us, Master," they said solemnly.

"First, the Night Demon Sect Master, Hai Wuliang, is right outside, like a ghost. He's extremely vicious, powerful, and cunning, making him very difficult to deal with. Recently, he's been poisoning water sources and doing all sorts of things. Fortunately, our temple defense array has been blocking him, but I'm afraid he might find a way to infiltrate while I'm away. So, you must guard the temple with your lives. No one is allowed to enter or leave during my absence."

Yin Shen Palace paced slowly, his brows furrowed, and his expression grew gloomy.

"Yes, Master, we will fulfill our duties without negligence."

"The second matter is... Although this trip to the main temple is a good thing, the Night Demon is in the process of incubating to immortality. In the end, he has killed many people from the main temple. Their families, unable to find the Night Demon, will surely take an interest in me."

Yin Shen Palace paused, then said calmly, "Although the deputy sect master's summons won't lead to any unpleasant incidents, the journey there and back could be risky."

"Master, your blessings are boundless..."

Yin Shen Palace raised his hand to interrupt them, "In times like these, flattery is unnecessary. We've been brothers for hundreds of years, and you know what kind of person I am. I may be ruthless, vicious, and cruel, but my most important quality is selfishness."

These words left Mu Lin Yuan and the others speechless.

They couldn't respond, wondering if they should praise his self-evaluation as wise and mighty or commend his virtues. This was...

Fortunately, Yin Shen Palace didn't require a response. He laughed at himself and said, "So, I don't want any of my interests to be harmed."

"I also hope that my possessions will be left to my own people."

He smiled faintly, "If something happens, the Night Demon's cultivation is still shallow. Even if he's given the position of sect master, he won't be able to hold onto it."

He raised his hand to stop them from speaking, and said, "Listen to me. If something really happens, and I die on the way, you three must immediately leave the main headquarters, change your identities, and assist the Night Demon in his cultivation. Wait for the right moment, and then come out of hiding to avenge me."

These words were spoken with great gravity.

Mu Lin Yuan replied in a low voice, "Master, you will surely be protected by heaven."

Yin Shen Palace stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I naturally hope nothing will happen. However, this time is different from the past. There are indeed many who want my life."

"Keep these words in mind. If I return safely, all will be well. But if something happens, you must act immediately without any delay."

"Yes, Master!"

"Go now, and take care of your tasks."

...

Then, Yin Shen Palace picked up the communication jade to send a message to the Night Demon, only to see that the Night Demon had already sent a message.

An urgent matter? Yin Shen Palace's heart skipped a beat. "What's the matter?"

"The investigation team has come directly to the escort agency."

"What?!"

Yin Shen Palace was startled.

Shouldn't the investigation be over by now? I've already received the commendation notice, but why isn't your task finished? This is strange.

The Night Demon's message continued to pour in.

"...The leader is Feng Xing, the descendant of Feng Du, the deputy sect master. He suspects my identity and thinks I'm the Night Demon. He started testing me... I had no choice but to say this..."

The Night Demon's message came in segments.

"...Stabbed in the chest repeatedly with a sword... Obviously testing me because the Night Demon has a protective robe from Hei Yao, which he should know about..."

"...Then I..."

"...He forced me to swear allegiance to Tian Wu under the heavens..."

"...That's the situation. He might come to find you next..."

"...

The Night Demon's messages came in rapid succession, leaving Yin Shen Palace no time to reply.

Yin Shen Palace read each message carefully and immediately responded, "I understand."

Then, putting down the communication jade, he said to Mu Lin Yuan, "The Night Demon's identity has been suspected by Feng Xing, and Feng Xing..."

He instructed Mu Lin Yuan, emphasizing, "Add some signs of oppression."

"I'll take care of it immediately."

Yin Shen Palace nodded, watching Mu Lin Yuan walk away, and his heart suddenly grew heavy.

The Night Demon had been forced to swear allegiance by Feng Xing.

He had sworn allegiance to Tian Wu under the heavens...

This was somewhat unexpected.

Because Yin Shen Palace knew that Yan Beihan and Heaven Yin were both trying to win over the Night Demon, but it hadn't reached the point of an oath.

According to the order of their attempts, Feng Xing was only the third one. Now, the first two had failed despite their efforts, and this third one had forced an oath.

This was no small matter!

But Yin Shen Palace also knew that once Feng Xing had said those words, the Night Demon had no choice but to comply.

To refuse was to die.

Yin Shen Palace held the communication jade, worried.

However, he also knew that Feng Xing was currently at Heaven's Escort Agency, and it was already challenging for the Night Demon to find time to send so many messages.

If he sent a message to the Night Demon, it might be caught by Feng Xing, and any slip-ups would be disastrous.

So, he waited, receiving the messages one by one.

But Ye Mo never responded, and he knew he must have been detained by Feng Xing.

With a sigh, he packed up and immediately left Yi Xin Jiao, heading towards the Southeast Headquarters, as the Chief Administrator was also going to the headquarters.

This time, Yin Shen Gong left alone.

But he was confident that the experts from the headquarters were lying in ambush around Yi Xin Jiao.
