Chapter 458 It is a divine beast

“These monsters have long formed an organization, with intricate connections and wide reach. They are also very careful in their communication and generally do not show their true faces. I had to search through their memories to find a scene where they met a mid-level monster.”

"The other person was completely covered up, and their face was not visible. Only when handing over the item did they accidentally reveal a corner of the back of their hand, on which a single word was written."

Jun Wuduan was the first to grasp the key point: "What words were written on his hand?"

“Wu”.

"Wu? Which wu?"

"The Wu in Wu Yequan's name."

Upon hearing this name, the expressions of the group all changed.

"How could it be him? Wasn't he already dead?" Qi Yingxuan's face was terribly gloomy, and his brows were full of hostility.

Jun Wuduan stroked his chin: "It may not be him. To conclude that it is him based on just one word is too arbitrary. Compared to him, I think this Wu is more likely to be his descendant."

Xiang Yueqi: "Descendants? He has descendants? I remember he didn't marry in his previous life, and I've never heard of him having any children."

Qi Yingxuan curled his lip: "Who can say for sure? Maybe he already had a child before he entered the Dao. Besides, it's not necessary to get married to have children. I wouldn't be surprised if someone as righteous as him did something immoral."

Qi Yingxuan harbored deep resentment towards Wu Yequan: "Like begets like, and rats are born knowing how to dig holes. If we really have his offspring, they'll definitely be just as worthless as him!"

Others had no good impression of this person either. However, even if this person was not Wu Yequan, the fact that he gathered demons to do such despicable things as possession and stealing people's luck showed that he was definitely not a good person.

Xiang Yueqi turned to look at Feng Tianyu: "What are you planning to do?"

"If I could kill him once back then, I can kill him a second time."

Regardless of whether this person is Wu Yequan or not, and regardless of how he escaped my pursuit in the past, as long as he dares to plot against my junior sister, I can kill him once, and I can kill him a second time.

Xiang Yueqi, however, was not as optimistic. He had barely begun to speak when he started to worry: "But Senior Brother, you only have a quarter of your former power now..."

"That's enough."

Xiang Yueqi opened his mouth as if to say something, but someone behind him interrupted first: "Me too."

The group was taken aback, only then noticing Jiang Lin, who had been standing with his arms crossed and back against a pillar since entering, seemingly unremarkable.

The expressions of the group became subtle. Among the five fellow disciples, the only two who were capable of fighting were this guy and their eldest brother.

When his junior sister got into trouble, his senior brother clashed with some hypocritical righteous people in order to avenge her. Overnight, he fell into demonic possession and stormed into the demon realm, becoming a completely different person.

Jiang Lin was no better off. As a sword cultivator, he should have severed all emotions and love, spending his life with his sword and mind. However, he developed a demonic obsession after witnessing his junior sister's death.

Although he didn't cause any major disaster, the sword in his hand grew colder and more sinister.

Even so, he never gave up on avenging his junior sister.

Unfortunately, the eldest brother single-handedly stormed into the demon realm, slaying countless demon generals and killing Wu Yequan without even informing them.

So much so that when Jiang Lin arrived, he didn't even see the ashes that Wu Yequan had turned into after his death. He was so angry that he almost fought with his fellow disciples from Fengtianyu.

His speaking at this moment was actually a reminder to Feng Tianyu that he was still alive! This time, don't go off alone to kill him silently; at least leave him some breath.

The three logistics reservists: "..."

Forget it, the bigwigs of the pro-war faction have already spoken, what else can they say?

"Alright, as long as you keep this in mind. However, don't let your guard down too much. Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily. If the person behind these demons is really Wu Yequan, after lying in wait for so many years, there's no guarantee that he won't have some unpredictable backup plan."

Xiang Yueqi's concerns were not without reason. Wu Yequan's treachery was known to all, otherwise they would not have discovered at the very end that the mastermind who had almost caused widespread suffering was actually someone close to them all along.

The group nodded with grim expressions, as if they had taken his words to heart.

"Junior Sister..."

"Her identity hasn't been confirmed yet, so don't tell her for now."

"Alright."

Ye Wanxi was unaware of the private meeting between the group, but Zhang Xiaoxiao, worried about her brother's health, personally drove over to pick up Ye Wanxi early the next morning.

Gao Min was worried about Ye Wanxi going out alone, so she naturally followed her. Du Yihuan and Wen Caiyi were also a little worried about the two of them, but they were more curious than worried about them.

Therefore, I came here with Zhang Xiaoxiao early in the morning.

Besides, Ye Wanxi certainly wouldn't forget her own adorable baby who was crying for milk.

Ye Wanxi was initially hesitant about whether to briefly explain her little darling to Zhang Xiaoxiao, since they were going there to take care of important business. In addition, if Zhang Xiaoxiao's unusual behavior was indeed due to something, her little bunny would inevitably come in handy.

Rather than scaring them later, it's better to give them a heads-up beforehand.

Before Ye Wanxi could even finish speaking, Zhang Xiaoxiao excitedly exclaimed, "I understand, I understand! Miss Ye, your rabbit is definitely no ordinary rabbit. It's like the divine beast mount of a fairy in a myth. It looks ordinary, but it's actually incredibly powerful and majestic!"

Ye Wanxi: "..." She had noticed before that although this girl was usually a step behind, she actually had a wilder imagination than anyone else.

Hearing Zhang Xiaoxiao's heartfelt praise, the little rabbit puffed out its chest, looking smug as if to say, "You have good taste."

The only thing I'm not satisfied with is the comment "looks ordinary." Is it really ordinary? It's incredibly cute!

Ye Wanxi looked down and met her little rabbit's smug and smug expression.

"..." Well, in a way, she's told the truth!

Considering that the matter was still unresolved, Zhang Xiaoxiao did not explain Ye Wanxi's identity to her family. She only said that in order to celebrate being admitted to her favorite school, she planned to invite a few close friends to her home to celebrate.

Zhang Xiaoxiao's parents doted on their youngest daughter and naturally had no objections. They even had the family's nanny prepare snacks and drinks for the guests in advance.

While urging the group to eat, Zhang Xiaoxiao explained, "My parents were worried that we wouldn't feel comfortable around them, so we went to visit a friend early this morning."

"We're sorry to have troubled you, Uncle and Aunt, to give us our seats."

"There's no question of giving way or not. We asked you to come and help, so this is what we should do."

Ye Wanxi smiled and looked around. "Where's your brother? Isn't he home?"
