130: Chapter 130 Arrival in Kyoto: The Heavenly Demon Cult's Holy Son, 100% Dead, is Mys for the taking!
"Beep—beep—beep—!"
Inside the hospital room, the sound of the instruments was exceptionally clear.
A pale, middle-aged man lay on the hospital bed, motionless.
His brows were tightly furrowed, as if two forces were battling intensely inside his brain.
"Old Meng—! Old Meng—!!"
"Why are you still lying there! Even I, the top student of the Tianjiao Camp, have to go to Kyoto University to participate in that ridiculous entrance exam. It's almost time to leave, why are you still just lying there? Don't lie there too long, or you'll get hemorrhoids."
Dong Dajin pulled up a small stool and added a small table.
Munching on skewers while sipping some beer, he looked quite content.
However, there was no happy expression on his face.
He was now somewhat regretting why he had been so loose-lipped and let the secret slip.
Leading to the current situation.
Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan was in a coma, and Lu Qingyun had been judged a member of the evil sect and was currently being wanted on television.
However, Dong Dajin felt that his Brother Lu had definitely been wronged!
To say nothing else, just based on the relationship between Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan and Lu Qingyun.
It was impossible for him to commit such a lethal act!
If he really suffered such serious injuries, he was inclined to believe that Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan had attacked himself, wanting to play the victim, but ended up overdoing it, leading to this result.
It was a pity that although he was the young master of the Fuming Chamber of Commerce.
The massive Fuming Chamber of Commerce dared not get involved in the slightest in such a malicious matter.
Even just clearing his own suspicion had taken quite a lot of effort and greasing palms.
As a young master like him.
Even fewer people would care about what he said.
Knock—knock—knock—!
The sound of knocking echoed.
Before Dong Dajin could speak, the door was pushed open.
The person who entered was clearly surprised when they saw Dong Dajin.
"Luo Qingxue? You've come to visit Chief Instructor Meng, too."
Seeing the person who had arrived, Dong Dajin recognized her as Luo Qingxue, who had ranked third and, like him, had chosen Kyoto University.
He wasn't surprised.
Because during their time at the Tianjiao Camp, Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan had taken good care of Luo Qingxue as well.
Although his interactions with Luo Qingxue were few, they weren't non-existent.
It was just that...
The content of the interactions was somewhat similar; basically... it was always Luo Qingxue asking about Lu Qingyun.
Seeing her again this time, Dong Dajin instinctively felt that Luo Qingxue visiting Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan was only part of the reason.
The person she was truly concerned about was perhaps...
"Has Lu Qingyun contacted you?"
After entering the room, Luo Qingxue didn't even glance at Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan on the bed, but asked with a nervous expression.
"..." The unconscious Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan.
Dong Dajin shook his head.
In such a tense period, how could he possibly contact him?
Besides, even he himself didn't know what use it would be if he did contact him.
Hiss...
Wait, the Fuming Chamber of Commerce had branches in other provinces, and even in Kyoto!
With subsidiary businesses.
He remembered that he seemed to have given Lu Qingyun a black gold membership card for the Fuming Chamber of Commerce.
This kind of card was anonymous.
In other words, if one checked the records, one might really be able to find where Lu Qingyun was.
Dong Dajin's eyes flickered, but he remained calm.
He didn't intend to check, and in fact... he was already deliberately blurring the memory of that event.
"Don't worry, with Brother Lu's abilities, he'll be well-off wherever he goes."
Dong Dajin smiled; this wasn't comfort.
But stating something that was a matter of course.
Because in his heart, he truly felt that way!
Just being an eighteen-year-old Yukong Realm Grandmaster was enough for Lu Qingyun to be successful!
Even if he really had joined the evil sect, it was the same!
Hearing this, Luo Qingxue nodded as well; on this point, she held the same view as Dong Dajin.
After all, Lu Qingyun was someone whom she could never catch up to, no matter how hard she chased!
After letting go of some of her worries.
Luo Qingxue finally remembered the other purpose of her visit and turned her gaze to Chief Instructor Meng Xiaochuan.
The surveillance camera in the hospital room rotated slightly.
Outside the monitor, a miserable Martial Arts Bureau staff member was sporting dark circles under his eyes while communicating with the captain on the other end of the line.
"Have you gotten any useful information from these people?"
"No, these two who had ties with Lu Qingyun seem to know nothing about Lu Qingyun's whereabouts. Speaking of which, Boss, can I apply for overtime two weeks from now?"
"Why?"
"Because for these two weeks, I've been working twenty-four hours a day without rest; I don't even have the extra time to work overtime."
"Sure, approved. For the next month, you can work twenty-four hours without rest. Perhaps you can choose to swap with other colleagues; you go guard against the beast tide, and they can come here to watch the monitor."
"Don't do that, Uncle, I can handle it! Never mind one month, even three more months is fine; I'm made of iron!"
At this moment, on the monitor.
The atmosphere in the hospital room seemed a bit awkward; Dong Dajin scratched his head and laughed:
"According to what they said, Brother Lu joined the evil sect. In my opinion, with Brother Lu's skills, maybe he could even become a Saint Son in the evil sect."
...
"A Saint Son, huh? Are there any benefits?"
Approaching Kyoto, Leng Qianmo also explained his plan to Lu Qingyun, which was to have Lu Qingyun compete for the vacant position of Saint Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect!
For this, he had even given up his original plan to ambush and kill Qin Fenghuo.
However, Lu Qingyun felt that this old guy was purely afraid of being slapped to death by that Dharma Form Grandmaster in Lanchuan Province, which was why he chose to flee far away.
"Benefits?"
"Once you obtain the position of Saint Son, your status within the sect will rival that of an Elder. In the future, you can even lead the entire Heavenly Demon Sect! What other benefits could you possibly want!?"
Leng Qianmo's voice was filled with confusion.
In his understanding, being a Saint Son was an incomparable honor!
It was just like the Sect Master; they were the most loyal believers of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon!!
This was already the greatest reward.
Why would you need other benefits?
"Elder... then how many cultivation resources can an Elder receive each month?"
"What cultivation resources? How can cultivation rely on others!"
"Then this so-called leading the entire Heavenly Demon Sect... how did the previous Saint Son die?"
"Killed by the righteous path."
"What about the one before that?"
"Killed by the righteous path."
"And the one before that???"
"Killed by the righteous path!!"
Leng Qianmo's eyes were filled with crimson and hatred.
In his view, it was precisely because every Saint Son had been killed by the detestable people of the righteous path that the Heavenly Demon Sect had been unable to welcome the Heavenly Demon.
"Since so many Saint Sons have been killed, where did the current Sect Master come from?"
"The Sect Master... has been the Sect Master from the very beginning."
"From the beginning?"
"Yes, the Sect Master is the founder of the Heavenly Demon Sect; he has held the position of Sect Master for... four hundred years, I suppose."
Hearing this number, the corners of Lu Qingyun's mouth twitched wildly.
"In other words, over all these years, not a single person who has held the position of Saint Son has managed to survive until the end, right?"
"This... I suppose that's true."
Leng Qianmo also seemed to notice something wrong and said thoughtfully.
The position of Heavenly Demon Sect Saint Son, it seems, is a position with a 100% mortality rate.
Although he believed in the Heavenly Demon, this didn't mean he lacked the ability to think independently.
After realizing this, he didn't stubbornly hold onto his own opinion.
He just shook his head with some regret and said, "If you don't want to be the Saint Son, then don't. It's just a pity that in our sect, only the Saint Son and the Sect Master can obtain our sect's complete divine techniques. Even I only have the divine techniques at the Divine Intent level. I truly wonder how profound the subsequent techniques... must be!"
"However, since the danger of being a Saint Son is so high, it's better to prioritize preserving your life. With your talent, as long as you cultivate normally, your future achievements will certainly not be worse than mine, and perhaps... even enough to add a Dharma Form Grandmaster to the sect!"
After saying this, Leng Qianmo sighed, feeling some regret, but he completely abandoned this idea.
He continued to take Lu Qingyun and fly towards Kyoto.
However, a fighting spirit so intense that it was almost scorching suddenly rose beside him!
He turned his head in surprise.
What he saw was Lu Qingyun's incredibly determined gaze!
His voice was incredibly righteous, speaking in a tone that showed he was disappointed in Leng Qianmo for not living up to expectations:
"As a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect, how can we let the position of Saint Son remain vacant just because of a little danger!"
"This is a blasphemy against the Heavenly Demon!"
"Elder Leng, you have disappointed me too much!"
"I, Lu Qingyun, am willing to dedicate my body and soul to the great Heavenly Demon! The position of Saint Son, I am determined to get it!!"
"..." Leng Qianmo's fist clenched.
