Chapter 74 My loyalty to the Demonic Sect is unwavering!
Faced with Yu Huai's doubts, Cheng Xiao replied without changing his expression: "I have my own methods, and the information I brought is absolutely correct. We are all from the Bliss Sect. The Bliss Sect raised me from childhood and has been very kind to me. Naturally, I want to find a way to repay them."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huai simply smiled and then put on a gratified expression.
But that was all; he didn't truly believe it.
The debt of gratitude is as heavy as a mountain.
He wouldn't find it strange if any Deadpool said those four words.
After all, the Bliss Gate has been trained since infancy.
Controlled by Gu worms, filtered by tasks, and eliminated by death.
Those who survived were mostly loyal to the Paradise Gate; otherwise, they wouldn't have survived and would have died during the selection process.
But Yu Huai felt the biggest problem was that Cheng Xiao had no expression on his face when he spoke.
He simply expressed his loyalty with a calm expression, his eyes revealing no emotion.
Yu Huai had met many loyal assassins. When they mentioned the kindness of the Bliss Gate, some had fanatical eyes, some had simple fear... there were all kinds of people, but none of them were like Cheng Xiao.
He spoke of "a debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain" with remarkable calmness.
Yu Huai picked up his teacup, using the act of drinking tea to suppress his vigilance.
After setting down his teacup, his smile returned: "The Holy Maiden truly does not wish for a marriage alliance. You've chosen the right path. Those old fogies from the Supreme Dao Sect are forcing her to marry into the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. She cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness, and once she becomes entangled in worldly karma, her Dao heart will inevitably be damaged. Even if she sees through this open scheme, she cannot escape it."
As he spoke, his eyes swept across Cheng Xiao's face, trying to find some flaw.
Unfortunately, the other party had no expression on their face and no reaction, so he couldn't find any flaws.
Cheng Xiao sat calmly in the chair, quietly waiting for him to continue.
Yu Huai composed himself and continued, "The mission the Blissful Sect has given you is to assassinate the person you're betrothed to Gu Yunshu. What are your plans?"
This was not just Cheng Xiao's mission; the Blissful Sect issued such a mission to all Gui-level members who were lurking in the Supreme Dao Sect.
Of course, these people were just there to cause trouble; they weren't foolish enough to expect a bunch of Gui-level cultivators to kill the Wan Jian Ge people.
They are all cannon fodder, responsible for creating chaos.
The actual assassination mission was to be carried out by someone else.
"I will complete the mission and then continue to infiltrate Gu Yunshu's inner circle," Cheng Xiao said calmly.
Yu Huai nodded, a satisfied look on his face, seemingly very impressed with Cheng Xiao.
but......
He didn't believe it at all.
Would someone who has just broken through their intelligence network obediently carry out a suicide mission?
Although he didn't believe it, he didn't expose it.
Yu Huai stood up, patted Cheng Xiao on the shoulder, and said sincerely, "Good, good! It is a blessing for our Blissful Sect to have such a loyal person as you. Don't worry, if this matter succeeds, I will personally ask the sect leader for credit for you."
After saying that, he added, "If there's anything I need to cooperate with, just let me know."
He seemed to be a good leader who cared about his subordinates.
Cheng Xiao didn't hesitate and said bluntly, "From now on, I'll contact you directly."
Yu Huai hadn't expected this request.
He thought the other party would at least want something, but he didn't expect the request to be so simple.
Cheng Xiao continued, "The inner sect of the Supreme Dao Sect seems to be a united front, but in reality, there has been a long-standing grudge between them. There is open and covert struggle between the peaks, and the conflict between Zuowang Xuege and the main peak is particularly intense. I will use this marriage alliance as an excuse to stir up their internal strife, so I need your assistance."
Hearing this, Yu Huai's smile widened: "No problem, just go ahead and do it, I'll fully cooperate."
He quickly calculated in his mind.
A long-standing grudge?
That's true.
On the surface, the various factions within the inner sect of the Supreme Daoist Sect appear to be on good terms, but in private they secretly wish they could devour each other alive.
Otherwise, their undercover agents wouldn't have been able to infiltrate so easily.
Especially the Zuowang Xuege Pavilion.
A group of women who cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness never get involved in the inner sect's disputes, yet they insist on occupying the position of Holy Maiden, which has long been the envy of many.
This information was not new in the Paradise Gate's intelligence database.
What's surprising is how Cheng Xiao, a menial disciple, managed to find out so much in such a short time.
He also said he would "stir up internal strife".
A mere Gui-level assassin dares to incite internal strife within the number one righteous sect with his mere words.
Should we call him arrogant, or...?
Even now, Yu Huai still can't see Cheng Xiao's true strength.
For the first time, he felt that things were out of control.
However, he still pretended to be nonchalant and nodded with satisfaction.
Cheng Xiao added, "I want to find an opportunity to meet with the leader of the Paradise Gate so that I can report something important."
Yu Huai was even more surprised.
To meet the sect leader?
Is this something he can decide?
But he didn't dare refuse.
Yu Huai couldn't figure out the person in front of him.
With such strength and courage, if the other party really is someone secretly trained by the sect leader, wouldn't refusing him be courting death?
"Okay, I'll report it to my superiors," Yu Huai agreed readily.
Cheng Xiao had said everything he needed to say.
He turned and left without making any unnecessary movements; his footsteps disappeared outside the pharmacy.
Yu Huai stood there, the smile on his face gradually fading away.
The room remained quiet for a long time.
The seven black-robed men whose arms had been twisted were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Because they sensed it, they sensed the increasingly intense killing intent emanating from Otsuji!
Yu Huai turned around, his fat face devoid of any expression.
He looked at the seven people.
Seven people were looking at him.
Then Yu Huai raised his hand and slapped it down.
The first person's head was smashed to pieces.
The blood splattered onto the faces of several people nearby, and they didn't even have time to scream.
The second slap.
The third slap.
Yu Huai walked and slapped, each slap landing precisely on a person's head, his movements neither hurried nor slow.
No one dared to resist, nor could they possibly resist.
He muttered something as he killed people.
"Are you all idiots?"
Snapped.
"What if he's from the Supreme Daoist Sect?"
Snapped.
"The other party is provoking us."
Snapped.
"Then you all jumped out."
Snapped.
"Starting with Xin Jiu, they went up the chain of command one by one, as if afraid others wouldn't know we had a seventh-level intelligence network?"
Snapped.
"If he really is Gui Shijiu, that would be fine, at least he's one of us. But if he was sent by the Supreme Dao Sect, the seven of you have already exposed all my secrets."
Snapped.
When the last person fell, the room was filled with the stench of blood.
Yu Huai looked at the seven corpses on the ground, his hands covered in red and white substances.
He didn't wipe it; he was recalling the conversation he had just had.
Cheng Xiao's words were all perfectly worded, and every request he made was reasonable.
But Yu Huai still felt something was wrong.
It wasn't that he discovered any flaws in the other party.
He had been undercover here for many years and had seen so many people; if there were any flaws, he would have noticed them long ago.
But strangely enough, Cheng Xiao had no flaws and revealed nothing.
There was no emotion on that face.
It's not an act; it's genuinely not true.
That feeling...
Yu Huai suddenly remembered that he had met a female disciple of Zuowangxue Pavilion many years ago. She had gone astray while cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness and was eventually expelled from the sect after her cultivation was destroyed.
When he was ordered to arrest her, the female disciple had already gone mad, constantly muttering "What is affection?" and "What is love?" before he finally smashed her head with a single palm strike.
That was the same look in the female disciple's eyes before she died.
calm.
It's like a stagnant pool.
Even a woman who has cultivated the path of ruthlessness to its extreme has this kind of look in her eyes before she goes mad.
He couldn't understand how a death servant raised by the Bliss Sect from childhood could have the same eyes as those women from the Supreme Dao Sect.
