Chapter 62: Heijiang Chooses a Side

The expression on Heijiang's face instantly became tense after hearing this, and he avoided looking at Tan Tai Yin.

Tan Tai Yin chuckled softly, his gaze lingering on the disturbed herb garden in front of the door. He spoke slowly, "They say the Great Elder cherishes medicinal herbs. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do. After all, he'd use his bedmate as fertilizer, which shows how much the Great Elder loves medicine!"

As soon as these words came out, Hei Jiang's face turned pale. He glared at Tan Tai Yin and asked, "What do you mean by that, Young Master?"

Tan Tai Yin sneered, "You should understand what I mean. Do you think that by killing your wife, you can cover up the fact that you were cuckolded?"

"Private fighting is prohibited within the sect, let alone murder. If the leader knew about this, I'm afraid your position as elder would be in jeopardy."

Hei Jiang showed an expression of enlightenment and said to Tan Tai Yin, "You can really hear his inner voice."

"Yes, I heard it. If it weren't for Tang Xiaoyun, I wouldn't have known that the eldest elder, who cares so much about his reputation, had his home robbed." Tan Tai Yin did not deny it and admitted it directly.

Hei Jiang clenched his fists in anger, his shoulders trembling and his eyes gleaming with ferocity: "That bitch, I treated her well, but she cheated on me. Using her as fertilizer was really a compliment to her. What's even more hateful is that male concubine. I really want to..."

"What do you want? Kill him?" Tan Tai Yin asked with a cunning fox-like smile.

Seeing Hei Jiang's anger, Tan Tai Yin smiled cunningly and said, "Judging from the situation that day, it's likely that more than just you and I could hear his inner voice. If others spread this, I'm afraid your reputation as the Great Elder will be completely destroyed."

Sure enough, these words immediately aroused Hei Jiang's resentment towards Tang Xiaoyun. Tan Tai Yin struck while the iron was hot and said, "If you want to kill him, I can help you."

Hearing this, Hei Jiang snorted coldly and said, "A weak male concubine, why should I need the help of the young master?"

In his opinion, killing Tang Xiaoyun was as easy as crushing an ant.

Tan Tai Yin nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, you can kill him without my help, but don't forget who's standing behind him. If Ah Lie knew you were going to kill his favorite male concubine, would he let you go?"

Thinking of Tan Tai Lie's brutality and cruelty, Hei Jiang shuddered suddenly and looked at Tan Tai Yin and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Tan Tai Yin paced slowly in the room, saying quietly, "Ever since the sect competition, Ah Lie has been on the sect's side. It's unclear how long it will take for him to unify the martial arts world. He was willing to kill his father to take the position of Sect Leader, but ended up losing his competitive spirit because of a concubine."

"Since he can't take the position of leader, then let's find someone else to take the position. Great Elder, are you willing to help me?"

Only then did Heijiang understand the purpose of Tan Tai Yin's coming here.

"Are you asking me to betray the leader?" Heijiang asked.

Tan Tai Yin sneered, "Don't say such harsh words. Even if Tan Tai Lie doesn't become the leader, he is still a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect. You have simply changed your master."

"I……"

"Think about your dignity and face. I'll give you time to think it over carefully. It's important to stand in the right position. I'll wait for your reply."

After saying this, Tan Tai Yin walked out of the room with his head held high and his chest puffed out, leaving Hei Jiang with a confident and assertive figure...

After the recollection ended, Hei Jiang looked at Tan Tai Yin, suddenly knelt down and said respectfully: "I swear to follow the young master until death."

Tan Tai Yin looked at Hei Jiang's submissive appearance, reached out and patted him on the head, and said in a gentle tone, "Very good. Then the task of finding Ah Lie will also be handed over to you. Do you know how to do it?"

"I know."

"Very good, please step back."

"yes!"

Heijiang hunched his body and backed away, opened the heavy wooden door of the conference hall and walked out.

Seeing him finally come out, Chu Xiao hurried forward and asked, "Master, why did you come out just now? What did the young leader say?"

Hei Jiang glanced at Chu Xiao calmly, then walked down the stairs and said, "Nothing much to say. It's time to fertilize the medicine garden. Let's go back quickly."

Chu Xiao stared at Heijiang's back and muttered, "Why is everyone acting so weird today? Did something really happen?"

Inside the meeting hall, Tan Tai Yin smiled sinisterly, and his black robe rustled as he turned around. He slowly approached the leader's seat and sat down.

Stroking the faucet on the armrest of the chair, he said word by word, "Ah Lie, don't blame me, your brother, for being cruel. Compared to your cruelty, I am already kind-hearted."

Hei Jiang returned to his residence and said to Chu Xiao, "Call your senior brother."

"Oh, okay."

Chu Xiao hurried to look for someone, and soon Chu Xiao came back with another man.

"Master, what do you want from me?"

Hei Jiang didn't rush to answer, but said to Chu Xiao: "Go and fertilize the medicine garden first. I have something to say to your senior brother."

Chu Xiao glanced at Hei Jiang, then at his senior brother, and said with his head down, feeling somewhat lonely: "Oh, disciple will go right away."

After he left, Hei Jiang said to his eldest disciple, "Lin Feng, I have something for you to do."

"Master, please speak."

"After the demon was slain, the leader's whereabouts are unknown. Your master wants you to find the leader. After you find him..." He fell silent in an instant, with a murderous look in his eyes, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

A hint of astonishment flashed across Lin Feng's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. He was nominally Heijiang's eldest disciple, but in fact he was a killer trained by Heijiang. This was not the first or second time he had done such shady things for Heijiang.

"Disciple understands."

Hei Jiang glanced at Lin Feng with appreciation and reminded him, "In case of any emergency, bring more people with you."

"Where are you going, Senior Brother, with more people?" Chu Xiao pushed the door open and just heard this.

Heijiang immediately showed displeasure, and sullenly scolded: "No rules! I am talking to your senior brother, have you finished fertilizing?"

Chu Xiao shuddered, and hurriedly lowered his head, looking as if he had done something wrong and said, "I'm done."

Lin Feng lowered his eyes, clasped his fists and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

"Go ahead." Heijiang waved his hand impatiently.

Seeing Lin Feng making an excuse to slip away, Chu Xiao hurriedly said, "That disciple has also withdrawn."

After Chu Xiao left Heijiang's house, he hurriedly caught up with Lin Feng and pestered him, "Big Brother, what did Master ask you to do? Why did you bring so many people with you? Is it dangerous?"

Lin Feng always has an icy face, and it is rare to see other expressions on his face, but at this moment, facing Chu Xiao's three consecutive questions, he also showed an impatient look.

"You're chattering away all the time. Can you be quiet?" Lin Feng frowned.

Chu Xiao didn't intend to let him go like this. He hugged his arm and continued, "I won't. If you tell me, I'll shut up."

Lin Feng pulled his arm out of his embrace, his ears red as he said, "It's up to you then. I have something else to do first."

"No, just tell me, I promise not to tell Master." Chu Xiao followed Lin Feng relentlessly.

The next morning, Lin Feng packed up and went out alone. Hei Jiang asked him to bring more people with him, but in his opinion, the fewer people knew about the assassination of the leader, the better.

He had just walked out of the mountain gate and not far away when he noticed a tail following him.

He stopped and said in a cold voice, "Come out, Second Junior Brother."

Chu Xiao, who was hiding behind a tree, was stunned. He walked out with an awkward smile and said, "Hey, Senior Brother, how did you find out?"

Lin Feng had a speechless expression on his face: It would be strange if he wasn’t discovered if he was hiding behind a tree that was half a person’s thickness.

"Go back and stop following me." Lin Feng turned around and strode forward.

Chu Xiao didn't listen at all, jogging a few steps to catch up, and said in a flattering tone: "Don't, Senior Brother, I promise not to hinder you. Having me around to talk to you can also relieve your boredom, right? Just let me follow you.

"no."

"Follow one."
