The old mengzhu handed several secret letters over to Zhao Jiangui.

“Not long ago, we intercepted a few of these secret letters from the Hanya,1” the old mengzhu said. “They had been making preparations to try to assassinate the Demon Head Ji a second time. No matter what, we can’t let them succeed.”

Zhao Jiangui looked over the letters and in his heart, he was inevitably still a little wary. “Can’t let them succeed?”

The upright side’s position was different from him. From the point of view of the old mengzhu and the others, they should want the Demon Sect to be destroyed. So why had they prevented assassination attempts towards Ji Han again and again?

“The Demon Sect practices on the evil path, and has a tremendous influence. Their foundation spans several hundred years, so it would be near impossible to try to remove them from Jianghu.” The old mengzhu stroked his beard and continued, “A fight with them would inevitably harm both sides. Moreover, the influence of the righteous path is weak now, so it would be even less ideal to fight them head on.”

Zhao Jiangui raised an eyebrow. “Do you want me to go undercover into the Demon Sect again?”

The old mengzhu shook his head.

“Zhao Daxia misunderstood. This old man only felt that in this kind of situation, there’s no need for any fighting; we can all coexist,” the old mengzhu said. “The Demon Sect’s sect leader now can be considered reasonable and restrained. If he can be like this forever, then the righteous path can preserve and nurture its spirit. If someone else were to take the sect leader position, or if the Demon Sect were wiped out, everyone on the evil path would no longer be limited by the Demon Sect. They would be bound to cause disorder in Wulin, and it would be hard to say how the state of Jianghu would fare.”

Zhao Jiangui asked: “Is it still an unavoidable battle?”

The old mengzhu looked at him with a smile. “This depends on Zhao Daxia.”

Zhao Jiangui knit his brows. “What does Mengzhu mean?”

The old mengzhu didn’t say anything more on the matter and turned the subject back around to the Hanya’s planned assassination attempt on Ji Han. He said: “In regards to the current righteous path, Ji Han is the best Demon Sect Leader. Zhao Daxia must absolutely help maintain his sect leader position.” 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

Zhao Jiangui frowned but did not speak.

The old mengzhu, seeing his expression, added on.

“Zhao Daxia must be curious, and wondering who wants to kill the Demon Head Ji. Unfortunately, the Hanya chief’s identity is extremely secretive, and even this old man has difficulties finding out this information,” the old mengzhu said. “Luckily, this old man can tell Zhao Daxia one thing.”

Zhao Jiangui couldn’t help but look up at him.

“Yin Buhuo faked his death. He wanted to use Demon Head Ji as bait to draw out the person who wanted to kill him from hiding, and to eliminate any threats to his own blood-related son. Zhao Daxia, you were the sudden and unexpected variable in this plan, so in order to avoid any more incidents from happening, Yin Buhuo made his move ahead of time,” the old sect leader said in a low voice. “But the person hiding behind the scenes really isn’t picky. Yin Buhuo isn’t even in the Demon Sect anymore, yet he’s still tried several times to go for the Demon Head Ji.”

Zhao Jiangui was startled. In his mind, there was suddenly a thorough connection, and it seemed like everything became obvious.

The old mengzhu stroked his long beard and said, “Perhaps his target is neither Yin Buhuo nor the Demon Head Ji.”

Zhao Jiangui furrowed his brows and lifted his hand to burn the Hanya’s secret letters. In his heart, he understood clearly.

That person’s target was the Demon Sect Leader.
