Master of Strange Dao

Within the Shadow Department, the newly appointed Chief Venerate, Fu Xiao, listened to Su Li finish speaking, then revealed a slight smile and offered a few words of encouragement.

"You've worked hard, just returned, and haven't rested for two days before going out again. Go rest. Reaching this level is already not easy."

After Su Li left, Ye Jiuyuan's figure slowly appeared on a chair to the side.

"What do you plan to do now?"

Fu Xiao maintained a calm expression and spoke indifferently.

"We can't take the fall for what others have done, can we?"

Ye Jiuyuan looked at Fu Xiao and laughed heartily.

"It seems you're preparing to give Qing Ziyu two names?"

After joining these people's organization, even though there were some core aspects he didn't understand, Ye Jiuyuan now knew many of the less critical ones.

To outsiders, they appeared as one organization, but in reality, they were not.

Most of the time, they were merely cooperating.

Ye Jiuyuan knew very well that if Fu Xiao really did this, it wouldn't be considered betrayal.

If Fu Xiao sold him, Ye Jiuyuan, that would be betrayal.

Seeing Ye Jiuyuan's gloating look, Fu Xiao didn't react much, only saying,

"The tone has already been set: prioritizing major events. That Jinlan Mountain and the former records have no relation at all, one could even say they're completely unrelated.

The only intersection of their affairs with ours is that ancient Evil Dao God.

After that God's sealing and release, and the subsequent dropping into the earth-cave,

regardless of whether they ruined our major event, we no longer intersect.

Their appearance had no ancient connection with the former Dadui.

That Wu surnamed one, too selfish, ambitions too large, even capturing the people of Jinlan Mountain, doesn't think we all don't know what he wants to do.

Stirring up that unfathomable, inexplicable Jinlan Mountain now is simply foolish.

Now Jinlan Mountain lost a person, pushing Qing Ziyu to rage.

Why should we take the blame for this?

We in the Shadow Department, for many years to come, have no way of leaving.

All of us in the Shadow Department need to rid ourselves of Devil Thought.

Besides, Qing Ziyu plainly stated that if he finds out who's responsible, he doesn't need us to take action.

So, this matter has nothing to do with us.

If he wants two names, then give him two names."

"You really plan on giving them?" Ye Jiuyuan laughed even more joyfully, almost writing the word "spectator" on his face.

He indeed hoped Fu Xiao would give those names.

Once the ban was lifted, he could also purify his Devil Thought later on.

Who in the Shadow Department dared to claim they had no Devil Thought?

Anyone with even a minor bottom line would accumulate Devil Thought over time here, without exception.

The difference merely lay in whether the inner struggle was strong, converting Devil Thought into Heart Demon one day.

Those who persuaded themselves saw their Devil Thought weaken, possibly remaining controllable until life's end.

Yet the Shadow Department never recruited pure Evil Dao, and those lacking a bottom line wouldn't enter here.

No matter how low the threshold, here would eventually breach it.

Moreover, besides himself, he had to consider his father.

He just needed it in the future, but his father needed it now.

Ye Jiuyuan was self-aware, knowing even if he begged, it would yield adverse effects, better not to show his face and annoy others.

If Fu Xiao was willing to give the names, he would naturally be happy about it.

"Give them then, I'm curious too, how would Jinlan Mountain handle it?"

Fu Xiao, speaking, couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

Watching the excitement without concern for its magnitude was only human.

When it had little to do with himself, with potential benefits, even testing Jinlan Mountain, he was more than willing.

He indeed wanted to know, how would Jinlan Mountain seek revenge?

Send one or two Ninth Tiers to kill?

Or use some special method?

As night fell, in the wilderness, Fu Xiao leaned against a tree standing there, and soon, a person shrouded in mist silently emerged from the night's fog.

"It was you and the Wu surnamed one who captured the Mountain Goat Demon of Jinlan Mountain last time, right?"

"Did you come here specifically to ask this?"

"Of course not, Jinlan Mountain lost a person, offering to lift the ban and one hundred drops of Sweet Rain Original Liquid as a reward, to have the Shadow Department investigate.

Now I've found out who it was, and I'll let you know with the intention to trade with Jinlan Mountain."

The aura of the Mist Man rippled slightly, both shocked and angry.

"How dare you?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? I only investigated, nothing more, so why wouldn't I?

I'm telling you to find out if you can afford the price for keeping this information hidden.

If you can, I will naturally say the investigation is inconclusive.

If you can't, then I will make the trade, and you have no right to interfere.

I only came to inform you freely, so you can be aware: Jinlan Mountain is coming for revenge."

Fu Xiao chuckled lightly as he spoke.

Clearly, he felt that, given Jinlan's strength, even knowing who it was, they were powerless to seek revenge.

Selling off allies with justification, he even intended to use this information to gain from both sides.

Regardless of selling information or not, huge profits would be gained in the end.
