Li Jingxiao's reaction was not unexpected by Tian Yusheng. He sighed and said, "Although this was your fault, as the sect leader and an old friend of your parents, I cannot stand idly by."
"I do know a peculiar method that can suppress the growth of inner demons, but... you might not be willing!"
"If the sect leader is willing to offer advice, why shouldn't I?"
Li Jingxiao was puzzled.
"Then I'll just say it directly."
Tian Yusheng said in a deep voice, "That method is a bit evil."
Li Jingxiao's heart skipped a beat.
He hated demonic cultivators more than anything in his life and boasted that he would never have anything to do with them. But things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that he would have this day and have to use evil magic to suppress his inner demons and fight poison with poison?
Li Jingxiao pursed his lips, a hint of confusion and hesitation flashing in his eyes.
Tian Yusheng hurriedly increased the dosage and coaxed him, saying, "Of course, I know you don't want to have anything to do with such evil magic. If you don't want to, then let's leave it at that. Tian Shu Sect can support you for life without any problem!"
Li Jingxiao suddenly raised his head.
He was no longer an unenlightened child, and he understood clearly what Tian Yusheng meant by those words!
If he doesn't overcome his inner demons, he'll likely become a useless person and never be able to avenge his parents again!
Thinking of his tragically deceased parents, Li Jingxiao's eyes immediately reddened. He gripped Tian Yusheng tightly and said in a deep voice, "For my parents, this disciple is willing to try!"
"Okay, good child, don't worry. This matter is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. No third person will ever know."
Tian Yusheng smiled and reassured him.
"Besides, if we're talking about heretical and unorthodox practices, aren't those guys in the Xuan Yan Dynasty the ones who are like that?"
"The sect leader is right!"
These words struck a chord with Li Jingxiao, who immediately nodded in agreement.
"By the way, have you had any conflicts with Shangguan Tingye recently? Why was she silent in the main hall just now, and didn't even say a word for you?"
Tian Yusheng feigned concern.
"Sect Master, I... I don't want to hear anything related to her for the time being."
Li Jingxiao's face darkened, and he shook his head.
"Yeah."
Tian Yusheng didn't ask any more questions and said, "Then you should rest here for a while. I will come to help you get rid of your inner demons in a few days."
"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader!"
Li Jingxiao was extremely grateful.
After leaving the room, Mo Ye tentatively asked, "Are you planning to go to the Eastern Clan?"
"Hmm, the Sacred Pool is still missing a few spiritual herbs. The Eastern Clan's treasury is abundant and should be able to meet my needs."
"But don't forget, because of you, the entire Eastern Clan is under confinement. Dongfang Qing may not be willing to help you."
"Hmph... He wouldn't dare not help. Demon Soul, now send a few disciples of the Demonic Sect to the Eastern Clan. Remember, make sure the spies from the various families outside see this clearly!"
"You mean..."
Tian Yusheng sneered, "I want them to become the target of everyone's criticism, so they'll have no choice but to ask me for help!"
Although the Eastern Clan is strong, they are not strong enough to stand up to all the families in the Xuan Yan Star Realm. Once the news of their collusion with the Demonic Sect gets out, they will inevitably become a rat that everyone hates.
If Dongfang Qingzhen had no fear of other forces, he wouldn't have agreed to Xuan Yan Huang Guan's request for confinement in the first place; he would have simply risen up in resistance!
Judging from Dongfang Qing's tolerant attitude, he was quite afraid of getting involved with the so-called demonic path. Once he did, he would be unable to clear his name no matter what!
That very night, all the major powers received intelligence from their spies that some members of the Demonic Cult had entered the Eastern Clan's territory and stayed there for a full half hour before emerging. Although they had been discreet enough, countless eyes were now fixed on the Eastern Clan, hoping for their downfall!
...
The settlement of the Eastern Clan.
"What? You're saying I'm colluding with the demonic path?"
Dongfang Qing's eyes widened.
"A bunch of bastards! I've been behaving myself these past few days, not even leaving the family's residence. Where would I have gotten the chance to collude with the demonic path!"
The elder below explained the whole story, and Dongfang Qing immediately lost his composure.
Those members of the Demonic Sect were Tian Yusheng's men; how could he not know that?
Why would Tianyusheng set a trap to frame him?
This is really bad... Upon closer reflection, I realized that I've always been on the defensive in my cooperation with Tianyusheng. Could he be using the recent events to threaten me?
Dongfang Qing wanted to announce to the world and expose the true face of Tianyusheng, but he never had the courage.
Because the Eastern Clan was also involved, he couldn't extricate himself from the situation even if he wanted to!
Moreover, Lin Feng killed his own son that day, and Dongfang Qing has always harbored resentment about it. How could he so easily let go of his hatred?
Only Tianyusheng can help him; he can't do anything foolish!
"Patriarch?"
"You are not to tell any other members of the tribe about this, do you understand?"
He narrowed his eyes and warned.
"Understood!"
That night.
Tian Yusheng rushed over.
With his cultivation level, it would be no problem for him to sneak past the spies and get here, not to mention that he had the help of the elders of his Tian Shu Sect.
The moment Dongfang Qing saw him, he immediately began to curse.
"Damn it! What on earth is going on? My Eastern Clan has not yet been cleared of suspicion, and you have sent your men into my clan. What are your intentions?!"
Tian Yusheng smiled leisurely.
"Patriarch Dongfang, please don't be angry. This matter was caused by the mistake of an elder in the Demonic Sect. I have already taught him a lesson."
