"A wise man knows when to yield." The black bear said respectfully, "I am not more capable than others, but the reason I have survived until now and can still live a carefree life is because I know when to yield."
"I admire people like you who know how to seize opportunities." Ye Xingchen laughed heartily: "Besides an old servant at the Three-Phenomenon Realm and his dozens of Blood Guards, does Na Yuanzhen have any other forces?"
"I don't know about the others, after all, I'm not his confidant. There's a man named Lord Long who, like Na Yuanzhen, has ancestors who were important ministers of the previous dynasty."
"But before I came here, Lord Long had already been killed by Na Yuanzhen."
"Why did he kill Lord Long? Did they have an internal conflict?" Ye Xingchen asked with some surprise.
“No, that’s not it.” Black Bear shook his head and said, “Lord Long also follows his ancestors’ wishes and restores the previous dynasty’s system, but Na Yuanzhen now feels that the previous dynasty’s fate has run out, and he is not willing to support a descendant of the Jin family to take the throne.”
"So, he wants to seize the remaining fortune of the previous dynasty and then replace it?" Ye Xingchen's expression tightened slightly.
Na Yuanzhen is indeed different from his brother. His brother, the Third Young Master, is still obsessed with restoring the glory of their ancestors.
And this guy is actually thinking of taking over the country himself by using up almost all of his luck. He's really a ruthless character.
“Yes, that’s what he was thinking. This man is incredibly cruel, and countless people have been killed by him.” Black Bear lowered his body and said cautiously.
"He's insane." Zhang Shihao couldn't help but curse from the side, "The fortune of a fallen royal family has already been almost completely exhausted. What makes him think he can make a comeback with the fortune of the previous dynasty?"
"You'll never understand the world of a madman." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. "This guy is even more formidable than his brother, Na Sanshao. It seems we've gained another strong opponent."
"Besides that, is there anything else about him worth noting?" Ye Xingchen asked after a moment's thought.
“Nothing else is particularly special.” Black Bear thought seriously for a moment, then said, “A young monk came to his place, and he seems to listen to the monk very much.”
"A little monk? How old is he?" Ye Xingchen's heart stirred, and he turned his head to ask.
“He’s probably seven or eight years old, definitely not ten. He speaks in a very mature way, and Na Yuanzhen seems to listen to him completely,” Black Bear said.
"Could it be that kid from Dawuxiang Temple?" Ye Xingchen sneered. "I had a feeling that little monk was suspicious a long time ago. Sure enough, he and Na Yuan are really in cahoots. No wonder I dislike that kid so much."
"That monk must be tough to deal with too, right?" Zhang Shih-hao asked.
“Of course, they’re not easy to deal with.” Ye Xingchen nodded. “But it doesn’t matter. The Great Wuxiang Temple is not a good place to begin with. It’s full of all sorts of monsters and demons. Since that’s the case, let’s take this opportunity to wipe them out completely.”
"Mr. Ye, is there anything else you would like to ask?"
The black bear raised its head and looked at Ye Xingchen cautiously.
"No more for now. Give me the detailed address of where Na Yuanzhen is hiding." Ye Xingchen pondered, "Also, how many Blood Guards does he have?"
“There are probably several dozen, and each of them is very strong.” Black Bear sighed and said, “And even my family is under the surveillance of his blood guards.”
“These Blood Guards aren’t really human, they appear and disappear like ghosts…”
"Alright, take your family and leave Jiyang City," Ye Xingchen said. "Don't come back again. The money you earned before is enough for you to live a carefree life for the rest of your days."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you, Mr. Ye." Black Bear breathed a sigh of relief. "If Mr. Ye has nothing else to ask, then I will take my leave."
"Go." Ye Xingchen waved his hand, and the black bear bowed and scraped as he retreated.
"So he's gone? Are you 100% sure what he said is true?" Zhang Shih-hao looked at Ye Xing-chen with surprise.
Honestly, he felt that Black Bear was a bit too smooth in his speech. People like that are very calculating, so you should only believe half of what he says.
"What can we do if we don't let him go?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, this guy is afraid of death. People who are afraid of death don't dare to talk nonsense."
“But he lied about one thing. I saw an extremely strong malevolent aura about him, which is due to his heavy sins. It seems that he has done a lot of bad things following Na Yuanzhen,” Zhang Shihao said calmly.
"Yes, I see what you're saying too." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly. "It seems this guy has done quite a few dirty things for Zhang Shihao."
“People like this cannot be kept around,” Zhang Shih-hao said.
"Don't worry, he won't live much longer," Ye Xingchen said. "I see a murderous aura emanating from his life palace, which is a sign of impending bloodshed."
“Na Yuanzhen must know that he came here. Given Na Yuanzhen’s personality, do you think he would let the black bear go?”
“Of course not.” Zhang Shih-hao suddenly realized: “So you had already seen through the nine numbers of his destiny palace? Impressive! I’m not very good at face reading, so you’re the one who really knows how to read faces.”
"Hehe, you flatter me." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Since this guy has told us everything we need to know, let's give him a hand."
"You're going to help him? That kind of villain deserves to die. I'm not helping him." Zhang Shihao glanced at Ye Xingchen in surprise, then shook his head frantically.
Helping such a person is a disservice to one's karma.
"It's not about helping him; he doesn't deserve to die. But his family is innocent. Let's help him out and consider it a good deed he made before he died."
“Then you go, I don’t have time.” Zhang Shih-hao thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"You don't have time, and neither do I." Ye Xingchen turned and called out, "Huang Wenxing?"
"Immortal, I am here." With a flash of black shadow, Huang Wenxing appeared, respectfully clasping his hands in a fist salute to Ye Xingchen, appearing humble.
"I'm leaving these matters to you. No matter what, make sure the Black Bear family is safe and sound," Ye Xingchen said.
"Yes, Immortal, please rest assured, I will definitely protect his family." Huang Wenxing nodded, turned around, and transformed into a wisp of black smoke as he departed.
"Did you enlighten Huang Wenxing?" Zhang Shihao glanced in the direction Huang Wenxing disappeared.
"I suppose so." Ye Xingchen nodded. "Originally, due to the restrictions, he would not be able to break through that barrier and transform into human form within the next 20 years. I saw that he was sincere, so I helped him out."
“You’re really something, but have you thought this through? He’s a demon spirit. If you help him, you’re very likely to suffer karmic retribution.” Zhang Shih-hao glanced at Xing-chen: “You don’t seem to care much about your karma.”
