Gu Jian smiled and said, "It means exactly what it says. This time, Ye Chen wants to prove himself by swearing an oath and killing his fellow disciples."

"This might fool Commander Hua, but it definitely won't get past the Queen of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. Everything he's done is pointless. The ridiculous thing is that he thinks he's escaped a calamity."

Speaking of this, Gu Jian thought of the Empress of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Her name is Hu Linglong, the ruler of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, and she is also a nine-tailed fox demon.

She was extremely intelligent, but also very suspicious.

A year ago, she led an army of demons to attack the Misty Sect.

Although they failed to conquer the Misty Sect, they still inflicted heavy losses on it.

This is why Gu Jian had such a deep impression of the fox demon queen.

Feng Yantong also thought of the Fox Demon Queen Hu Linglong, and continued, "What you mean by saying you can't fool her is that that sly fox Hu Linglong won't believe him, right?"

Gu Jian smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. Not only will she not believe it, she will also investigate thoroughly. With her methods, she will find out the truth."

"Now that Ye Chen has fallen into her hands, nothing Ye Chen does can be hidden from her. After all, the demon race has no shortage of soul-searching techniques."

"Now, Ye Chen is nothing more than a fish on a chopping board. No matter how many schemes and ambitions he has, they are all in vain."

Feng Yantong's eyes lit up.

She hadn't thought about any of this before coming to find Gu Jian.

She even thought that the person impersonating Gu Jian had gained the demons' trust by proving himself.

He escaped unscathed and can continue to openly impersonate Gu Jian.

But it turns out that at the moment he was captured...

That means he's finished.

Even though Ye Chen didn't come in person, all his goals and plans vanished in that instant.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow.

"Jian'er, I've suddenly realized how smart you've become, compared to before..."

Gu Jian smiled and said, "You weren't this smart before, were you?"

Feng Yantong nodded slightly, somewhat embarrassed.

Gu Jian said with a self-deprecating smile, "In the past, I only focused most of my energy on taking care of one person. Now and in the future, I won't do that anymore."

Hearing Gu Jian's words, Feng Yantong's heart ached again.

She knew who Gu Jian was talking about.

At this moment, Feng Yantong once again felt that her junior sister was foolish.

Such an excellent and filial disciple, yet he was treated like that.

At this moment, looking at Gu Jianshuang's white hair, Feng Yantong said, "Jian'er, how about your senior uncle discusses something with you?"

Gu Jian asked, "What is it?"

Feng Yantong said, "If you really don't want to go back to my junior sister's side, how about your senior uncle takes you as his disciple?"

Gu Jian was taken aback and said, "Uncle-Master Feng, don't joke around."

Feng Yantong laughed and said, "I'm not joking, I'm serious. Since my foolish junior sister doesn't care about you, let your senior uncle care for you. Your senior uncle will not let you down, nor will he let you suffer any harm."

Gu Jian looked at Feng Yantong and shook his head.

Feng Yantong said, "What's wrong? Don't you want to? Or do you not want to see my foolish junior sister again? If you don't want to see her, I can stay here with you. It's fine if we don't go back to the Misty Sect."

Gu Jian shook his head again and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle-Master Feng. However, after leaving the Misty Sect, I have decided that I will never take anyone as my master again in this life."

He wanted to leave not only Ye Qingcheng, but also the entire Misty Sect.

How could he possibly become Feng Yantong's disciple again?

Even if Feng Yantong wasn't a member of the Misty Sect, Gu Jian wouldn't.

Some things, experiencing them once is enough.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yantong felt a pang of pain in her heart.

In Feng Yantong's view, Gu Jian must have suffered a severe heartbreak to reject her.

Feng Yantong felt a pang of heartache, then sighed and said, "Since you're unwilling, let's talk about this later."

After a pause, Feng Yantong looked at Gu Jian and said, "By the way, Jian'er, you said Ye Chen can't hide anything from that vixen Hu Linglong. Do you know how Hu Linglong will react after she finds out?"

Gu Jian also took a sip of tea and said, "There are only two possibilities."

Feng Yantong was surprised, and parted her red lips slightly to ask, "Could you tell me more?"

Gu Jian nodded and said, "As the Empress of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, she will not allow anyone to act recklessly behind her back. The first possibility is that she will completely exterminate Ye Chen's soul and eradicate all the demons related to Ye Chen."

"It will also destroy all of Ye Chen's plans."

Feng Yantong nodded and said, "What about the second possibility?"

Gu Jian said, "The second possibility is that she will destroy all of Ye Chen's plans, but she will not destroy Ye Chen's split soul. She will use Ye Chen as bait."

bait?

Feng Yantong didn't understand, "She wants to go fishing, but who does she want to fish for?"

"Of course it's me."

Gu Jian spoke up, and seeing Feng Yantong's astonishment, he added, "To be precise, it was me who 'framed' Ye Chen behind his back."

"Given that Ye Chen possesses a corpse that belongs to me, Hu Linglong wouldn't suspect it was me. But with her intelligence, she could probably guess that it was someone connected to me."

“Previously, the demons in the demon army camp were killed one after another. She won’t let this go so easily and will definitely investigate it thoroughly. Therefore, there is a 99% chance that she will choose the second option: using Ye Chen as bait.”

Feng Yantong nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's most likely the second one. But would Ye Chen willingly become bait?"

Gu Jian said, "He won't do it willingly. But since he's fallen into the hands of the Fox Demon Queen, he probably has no choice."

"Based on my understanding of this junior brother, he will most likely first feign friendship with the Fox Demon Queen, use her power to find the person who framed him, and then find an opportunity to escape."

Feng Yantong nodded, thinking that Gu Jian was very smart.

Then, her heart tightened, and she said, "Wouldn't that put you in great danger?"

"Jian'er, I suggest we leave. Ye Chen's plan has already fallen through, so there's no need to take any more risks."

Gu Jian shook his head and said, "Ye Chen's plan has failed, but only temporarily. He is indeed in a disadvantageous situation at the moment, but it is hard to guarantee that he will not be able to turn things around later."

To Gu Jian, his fourth junior brother Ye Chen was like the protagonist in a novel, capable of turning any crisis into an opportunity.

What do you mean by "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river"?

Gu Jian will not give him a chance to breathe; he will definitely kill him with his own hands.

Here, Gu Jian intends to personally destroy Ye Chen's split soul.

Only in this way can his plans in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons be truly thwarted.

Once Ye Chen's split soul is destroyed, the subsequent chain reaction will most likely prevent Ye Chen from obtaining his Supreme Bone no matter what.

Feng Yantong looked at Gu Jian. Although Gu Jian seemed confident, she was still a little worried.

Then, she thought of something and said to Gu Jian, "I have a way to kill Ye Chen directly."

Gu Jian asked in surprise, "What method?"
