121: The Demonic Church's Actions
“That’s right, Su Yuan is a friend of mine. What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
Outside the District One dormitories, Huangfu Yunzhao’s delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Yang Di.
She had just received a message that someone was looking for her, and at first, she thought it was Su Yuan.
She never expected it to be Yang Di.
Huangfu Yunzhao was well aware of Yang Di’s intentions towards her, so she was unwilling to have too much contact with him.
Huangfu Yunzhao initially thought that Yang Di, knowing she had been admitted to Nine Provinces Academy, was coming to pester her again.
But to her surprise, this time Yang Di didn’t invite her out like usual; instead, he asked about the rankings from the Tower of Babel challenge, especially inquiring about Su Yuan’s situation.
Noticing Yang Di’s unusual behavior, Huangfu Yunzhao became wary and asked him what he really wanted.
“Yunzhao, don’t overthink it.”
“I’m asking you because Su Yuan’s achievement of ranking 800 on his first attempt at the Tower of Babel was simply too sensational.”
“Many students in the academy want to get to know a top Genius like Su Yuan.”
“I also learned about this, and it just so happened that I heard you mention a friend named Su Yuan back when I was at your Huangfu Family.”
“So, I wondered if it was the same person, which is why I came to ask you.”
“Since Su Yuan is your friend, if there’s an opportunity in the future, please introduce me. It has always been my dream to befriend a Heaven’s Chosen who made it onto the stele rankings.”
Across from Huangfu Yunzhao, Yang Di’s heart sank after getting the answer he wanted.
But he still maintained a normal expression, smiling faintly as he explained to Huangfu Yunzhao.
His explanation was reasonable and logical; even though Huangfu Yunzhao was suspicious, she couldn’t find anything amiss.
After hearing Yang Di’s explanation, Huangfu Yunzhao’s furrowed brows relaxed, and she said, “I’ll definitely mention this to Su Yuan if I get the chance. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first.”
After Huangfu Yunzhao finished speaking, she turned to go back to her dormitory.
Seeing this, Yang Di took a step forward and, with a smile, said to Huangfu Yunzhao, “Yunzhao, thank you. I won’t let you help me for nothing. How about I treat you to dinner later?”
“Consider it my celebration for your successful entry into Nine Provinces Academy as your senior.”
As he spoke, Yang Di looked at Huangfu Yunzhao with burning eyes.
Clearly, he still had considerable intentions towards Huangfu Yunzhao.
“I already have plans tonight, so I’m not free. Thank you!”
Huangfu Yunzhao rejected Yang Di’s invitation without any hesitation.
Then, without caring about Yang Di’s reaction, she turned and walked back, leaving Yang Di standing awkwardly in place.
Crack!
Crack!
Watching Huangfu Yunzhao turn and leave so resolutely, the smile on Yang Di’s face gradually vanished, his expression slowly turned dark, and his hands, at some point, had clenched into fists, producing a crisp sound of grinding joints.
“Stupid bitch, what are you pretending to be so noble for!”
“If it weren’t for the Shadow Dragon Wood information I provided, your Dark-patterned Scorpion wouldn’t have evolved into a perfect-quality Shadow Dragon Scorpion! And it certainly wouldn’t have broken through to Transcendent Level in such a short time and been specially recruited into Nine Provinces Academy!”
“And that Su Yuan, a poor kid from Tianyang City, actually has such strong talent! I must find a way to completely deal with him before he grows up!”
“Although I don’t know what the Family wants with the information I’m collecting about today’s Tower of Babel challenge, I should first send all the information I’ve gathered back to the Family.”
Yang Di thought viciously to himself, then took a deep breath before summoning one of his flying Beastmasters and heading back the way he came.
As for the news that Su Yuan was from Tianyang City, Yang Di had already had his people investigate Su Yuan’s background when he attempted to assassinate him before.
It was precisely because he knew that Su Yuan had no one accompanying him for protection that he dared to have his people hire three Peak Awakening Beastmasters to act in the Five Poisons Jungle.
Although they ultimately failed, Yang Di had already returned to his Family from Tianyun City by then, which is why he didn’t continue to deal with Su Yuan.
After learning about Su Yuan’s situation, when Yang Di reported the list of people who challenged the Tower of Babel this morning to his Family, he specifically highlighted Su Yuan’s detailed information.
Late at night.
At the Demon God Church headquarters, more than a dozen black-robed figures sat around the circular table in the Church’s council hall.
Currently, a stack of intelligence reports was piled on the round table, all detailing the situation of the Nine Provinces Academy’s Tower of Babel challenge this morning.
“Gentlemen, according to the Demon God’s instructions, all of our respective informants have gathered the list of all students who challenged the Tower of Babel at Nine Provinces Academy today.”
“Let’s all review it together and compile a complete list, which I will then submit to the Demon God.”
At the head of the table, the hoarse voice of the Demon God Church President sounded.
The dozen or so black-robed figures around him all nodded, and then the stack of documents on the round table all floated into the air.
“Nanjing Province, Tianyang City…”
A moment later, a black-robed figure looked at a document containing detailed information about Su Yuan and murmured in a low voice.
“Hunter, is there a problem?”
Hearing the black-robed figure’s voice, the Demon God Church President at the head of the table turned to look at him, asking with some confusion.
“Nothing, President, I just recalled some subordinates I lost in Tianyang City not long ago.”
Upon hearing this, the black-robed figure immediately replied.
“What happened? Tell me in detail.”
Hearing him say that, the Demon God Church President frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
Seeing this, the black-robed figure, known as ‘Hunter,’ also recounted everything he knew.
The Demon God Church had many branch offices in Daxia, and ‘Hunter,’ a high-ranking official of the Church, was responsible for the Jiangnan Province branch.
Tianyang City was part of Jiangnan Province, so the news of Blood Crow and his group being completely wiped out in Tianyang City naturally reached ‘Hunter’s’ ears.
In fact, due to Blood Crow being captured alive, many strongholds of the Demon God Church branch in Jiangnan Province, for which Hunter was responsible, suffered devastating losses.
Hunter, the branch president, had been quite troubled by this matter recently.
That’s why, after seeing Su Yuan’s intelligence file, he couldn’t help but mutter, which caught the attention of the Demon God Church President.
“I see. It seems your subordinate must have been captured alive, which led to these losses.”
“Go back and properly discipline your subordinates. Make sure they do their intelligence work thoroughly before acting.”
“If I hadn’t insisted on having subordinates communicate through single lines as much as possible, your branch’s losses this time would have been even greater!”
After hearing ‘Hunter’s’ account, the Demon God Church President’s tone became much stricter.
“Understood, President!”
Hearing the Demon God Church President’s displeased voice, Hunter’s body trembled involuntarily, and he quickly said.
“Alright, everyone has reviewed all the documents.”
“Now, based on the intelligence provided by your respective informants, let’s compile the most detailed list.”
The Demon God Church President, hearing this, glanced at Hunter again, then addressed the others.
Half an hour later, the Demon God Church President, holding an intelligence report, arrived before the statue of the Fifth Demon God.
Under his manipulation, a Formation light instantly shone before the Demon God statue.
After he placed the intelligence report into the Formation, the Formation light disappeared, and with it, the intelligence report.
After waiting a few minutes, the Formation shone again, and this time, a half-person-tall black treasure chest appeared from within the Formation.
Feeling the strong energy fluctuations emanating from within the treasure chest, the Demon God Church President was overjoyed, and with trembling hands, he quickly took the black treasure chest, put it away, and then bowed respectfully to the Demon God statue.
