Bai Yang walked into the house and found Luo Jian Feng beside an old man who looked around fifty or sixty years old. He wore a grey robe embroidered with a flying bird on its cuffs and neckline. As soon as Bai Yang saw the bird, he knew the man was from the Black Cloud Sect.

Bai Yang couldn't tell if the man was someone Luo Jian Feng sent to infiltrate the Black Cloud Sect, or if he was a traitor from the sect.

"This is one of the Four Demon Generals, Xie Ze Tian." Seeing Bai Yang enter, Luo Jian Feng introduced him.

That old man quickly and respectfully bowed to Bai Yang as though to curry favor.

"Greetings, to Lord Xie. I have heard rumors of your martial prowess and powerful Qi, but I see now they weren't exaggerations at all."

Bai Yang nodded down to him, before turning his gaze to Luo Jian Feng.

Luo Jian Feng introduced: "This is the Black Cloud Sect's Elder Qiu."

He's actually an elder?

Luo Jian Feng had brought the man himself, so Elder Qiu must have been trustworthy. It wasn't easy to gain Luo Jian Feng's trust, so the elder must have wholeheartedly switched sides. Now he was with the demons, and wanted to destroy the boundary pillars.

Bai Yang had never understood why some humans would help the demons attack.

If the bird nest gets overturned, then the eggs probably won't survive. What were they thinking?

The Elder of a Thousand Households helping Luo Jian Feng made sense, since he was being mind controlled, and thus lacked the ability of free thought. However, even more people were helping Luo Jian Feng. They knew Luo Jian Feng's real identity, but continued to help him. Bai Yang couldn't understand them..

He didn't feel good about traitors. Since Xie Ze Tian has an arrogant character, acting as such towards them is fine..

"Luo Jian Feng, destroying the boundary pillar is a matter regarding my race's plan. Is this person trustworthy."

Before Luo Jian Feng could speak, the elder explained in a nervous panic, "Lord Xie, please rest assured. My loyalty to the Demon King is an example to the universe."

Bai Yang snorted. "An example to the universe? You've shown you can even betray your own martial sect. What loyalty do you mean?"

That elder had some power in the Black Cloud Sect, so when he was insulted by Bai Yang, his face turned both red and green.

The atmosphere was awkward. Luo Jian Feng tried to mediate the situation. "Lord Xie has misunderstood. Elder Qiu had always been ignored in the Black Cloud Sect and had sacrificed a lot for the Sect. However, he's getting payback by being tricked by a villain. Turning to the other side is the correct choice for him."

Meaning that he was unsatisfied with his position in the sect, but was unable to raise his rank, so he decided to sell his leader out.

He didn't know what the popular opinion was, but Bai Yang didn't like interacting with people like that. In private, they were absolutely unbearable. In public, they were utterly petty. You might even find yourself with a knife in your back, someday.

However, Bai Yang was playing a villain, too, so ripping off Elder Qiu's mask wouldn't do him any good. Bai Yang decided to let the matter go. "I hope you don't cause us any trouble. The Demon King's matters must be done perfectly."

The elder, whose face had been smacked, quickly recovered his humble attitude and assured, "That won't happen. The boundary pillar is in the Black Cloud Sect. There won't be any problems."
