Facing Yuchi’s question about the relationship between the Demon-slaying Bureau and them, the elder’s gaze suddenly became much calmer. He didn’t know how Yuchi had come to know about this matter, and he couldn’t imagine how such information could be known by a president. The murderous intent was temporarily hidden away for a moment. "Yuchi, why are you suddenly asking this?" The elder pretended to be very calm. "There’s nothing sudden about it, I’m just purely curious." The usual calm expression gradually reappeared on Yuchi’s face, "As death approaches, I simply don’t want to remain bewildered." The actual situation was merely a bluff. He inferred that there was a connection between the Demon-slaying Bureau and the Cloud Mountain Sect, but the question couldn’t be asked while carrying such doubts. Why not take a step further in the inference, and this would add more substance to the question. Just like some interrogation techniques used on prisoners. After speaking, Yuchi sighed to himself. He seemed completely resigned, kneeling beside the small river, using the clear water to cleanse the dirt off his face. His palm cradled the silver light, wiping his face over and over, the silver water glistening as it flowed through his fingers back into the river. Yun Chun watched Yuchi’s actions in bewilderment. The youth’s actions now were completely different from those in the prison earlier. In the prison, he was timid, a standard display of clinging desperately to life, but in this place. Did he suddenly see the light? Would anyone truly comprehend many things right before death? After all, he was still a president, and had seen some of the world, right? Feeling the silence between Yun Chun and the elder. Yuchi had already made up his mind. His speculation was correct, there indeed was an unspeakable secret between the Cloud Mountain Sect and the Demon-slaying Bureau. The reason Cloud Mountain Sect was this arrogant, must be because of the Demon-slaying Bureau’s backing. "Honestly, if it weren’t for your good relationship with the Demon-slaying Bureau this time, I wouldn’t have lost." "I was just too simplistic in my thinking, never imagining that the Demon-slaying Bureau would have such close ties with you." "That was the main reason I lost this battle." Yuchi smiled radiantly, his gaze falling on the elder’s face, his whole being exuding a different kind of carefree attitude. "So how did you manage to convince the Demon-slaying Bureau to help?" Yun Chun was not at all pleased. Once again, he saw that expression on Yuchi’s face, as steady as a mountain. He couldn’t understand why that expression would appear on Yuchi’s face at this time. You, young man, are isolated and helpless, surrounded by us, with the two of us cultivators, we can kill you at will. Even if you shouted till your throat breaks, no one would hear you. "I hate that you still show such a calm expression at this time, as if you could control the whole situation!" "Still prattling on here, I just want to kill you now, and take your head to show my master!" "He will bless me for it!" Just as Yun Chun prepared to kick Yuchi in the back, the elder’s gaze stopped Yun Chun’s movement. Looking at Yuchi squatting on the ground, his face was peculiar, yet still carried a hint of mockery. "Yuchi, do you think the Demon-slaying Bureau lacks money?" the elder asked in return. "No one ever says they don’t lack money, everyone is somewhat greedy." Yuchi smiled, "I’m the same." "Right, so we just need to give them a share, if you were born a hundred years earlier, you might also have this opportunity." "It’s a pity that the world is unsuitable for you to do so, they have already reached a cooperation with us." "That’s why, in Jiangzhou City this time, no one was willing to offer you any help." "We brought you to this place, to speak with us about the final words before your death." The elder was at ease. "So how did you bind them?" Yuchi turned and asked with a smile. "Bind?" the elder looked at Yuchi strangely, "What do you mean by that?" "It’s simple, business is mutual, you give the Demon-slaying Bureau gold and silver, and they provide you with protection." "But you must also fear the Demon-slaying Bureau’s betrayal." "Otherwise today you give the Demon-slaying Bureau one penny, tomorrow I’ll give them two." "Wouldn’t you be played for fools?" Before the elder could speak, Yuchi brushed the stray hair off his forehead to the back of his head. Underneath his smooth, broad forehead, a pair of dead-fish-like black eyes spun around looking at him. Yuchi threw out four words. "It’s Xun Yu, isn’t it?" To Yuchi, Zhou Xingcai had unexpectedly insulted Xun Yu before. Xun Xian had no reason to hold a grudge against them, yet she cursed him , was it a coincidence? Definitely not a coincidence. So even if Yuchi couldn’t know the truth, the name Xun Yu could still be brought up. It was nothing short of a gamble. "How do you know about this?" Yun Chun immediately asked. How did I know? I guessed it, how could your group keep a secret? This isn’t like learning materials on a hard disk, what you are dealing with isn’t a trivial matter. "Did Xun Yu tell you about this?" The elder’s face clearly showed surprise. "Xun Xian is his daughter, sometimes relationships are just this subtle, secrets can’t be kept." "I want his help, and he wants mine, doesn’t he?" "I just couldn’t be sure." "I wanted to understand before my death, so I could die at peace." "If it were you two, you probably wouldn’t want to die in confusion either, right?" The implication was that he wasn’t going to hand over the business association, the elder understood Yuchi’s choice, but it didn’t matter. The business association, however it is, it’s theirs, with or without Yuchi’s puppet role it’s just the icing on the cake, not indispensable. Of course, for Yuchi, he didn’t know what relationship Xun Yu had with this matter. Everything was just speculation. Since this was the case. The elder calmly said, "Xun Yu inherited the stupid traditions of demons." He looked at the distant mountains and valleys, his words filled with strong disdain. Yuchi was instantly silent. Inner turmoil surged, his eyelids lifted, damn, what was this situation? I, Yuchi, originally only wanted to fish, thinking about whether I could catch a small fish, but ended up with a huge monster. This is like trying to fish with a Golden Fishing Rod and catching a torpedo instead? As for Xun Yu being a demon? Simply shocking... Yuchi’s mind immediately started reasoning. If Xun Yu was a demon, the Demon-slaying Bureau must know about this, they knew and yet didn’t kill Xun Yu. This implies that for the sake of profit and control, they were shielding Xun Yu. Revealing such a thing would be a massive scandal, and if the Demon-slaying Bureau told the Cloud Mountain Sect this secret as a return favor. Then the relationship between the Demon-slaying Bureau and the Cloud Mountain Sect was indeed firm, mutually holding each other’s weaknesses, no wonder they had such a solid relationship. If Xun Yu, being a demon, taught Xun Xian, what was the reason behind it? Was Xun Xian also a demon? Yuchi suddenly felt his scalp tingling, "No, damn, is it getting painful now?"
