道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

"..."

Approaching the sixth patriarch with a smile of ill intent Ye Gui Feng spreads his spirit sense outwards and using his Authority of Deceptive Dreams he locks the entirety of the garden within a veil of illusions.

To make sure that even the Spirit Crane Sect's Half-Monarch would have a difficult time seeing through this illusion of him and the sixth patriarch having a casual conversation over a cup of wine Ye Gui Feng had also incorporated a trace of his azure colored spirit energy into the creation of the veil.

"I heard that the sixth elder had died."

"...!"

Hearing Ye Gui Feng's voice so close to his ear the sixth patriarch is startled causing him to drop the water vessel in his hand but just as he is about to take a step forward to distance himself-

"Tell me the details of what happened."

Pressing his right hand down on the sixth patriarch's left shoulder Ye Gui Feng prevents him from moving.

"Wh-Who are you?"

To the sixth patriarch's knowledge Li Wen's cultivation base couldn't have possibly surpassed his during their one year seclusion so the person behind him can only be an imposter.

"Is my identity that important? More important than the fact that I am currently holding your life in the palm of my hand?"

Performing a series of incantation gestures with his left hand Ye Gui Feng places several complicated restrictions on the sixth patriarch's body.

Amongst the many incantation gesture that is being performed those that are needed to plant the curse is done last and upon the completion of the necessary gestures the sixth patriarch's body trembles violently with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Kah!"

Practically tearing himself away from Ye Gui Feng's hold the sleeve of the sixth patriarch's robe is torn from its roots along with a strip of his own skin as he distances himself from Ye Gui Feng by ten steps.

"Oh?"

Looking at the pale-faced sixth patriarch with eyes that are no different from the type used to stare at an insignificant insect Ye Gui Feng drops the torn sleeve that is drenched in blood.

"..."

As a bead of sweat rolls down his face the sixth patriarch looks to Ye Gui Feng with eyes of horror.

Instinctively the sixth patriarch can tell that the strength of this individual surpasses his by a vast margin and he would even go as far as to say that the air emanating from them resembles the two prime elders of the Spirit Crane Sect.

If he is able to go back in time the sixth patriarch would have surely chosen not to send someone to ask about Li Wen's seclusion had he known that this would have caused a fiend to descend upon his home.

"It's times like this that one's intelligence can be tested."

Turning away from the sixth patriarch Ye Gui Feng casually snaps the branch of a plum tree and begins to examine the object with keen focus almost as if there is a secret there that requires a high degree of attention to detail to discover.

Originally Ye Gui Feng wasn't planning to take such a bold approach in his meeting with the sixth patriarch.

However, realizing that the person won't be the cooperative type based off their attitude of putting on air he might as well use the most direct approach to gather information.

"The strong must always maintain a certain level of dignity in front of the weak even if they are disguising themselves," though it might be arrogant of Ye Gui Feng to think in such a manner this is a type of arrogance that those who wish to achieve ever greater heights must come to possess.

"..."

Understanding the meaning behind Ye Gui Feng's words the sixth patriarch wipes away the sweat on his forehead as he straightens his stance.

"I take it that senior must have placed several restrictions me to prevent me from talking about this meeting?"

"You make it sound as if I'd let you live after this. How do you know that I won't throw this entire place into chaos after this meeting?"

"..."

Looking into Ye Gui Feng's eyes that contains an evident hint of lunacy the sixth patriarch is convinced that this is a person who would kill an untold number of individuals for his own benefits.

"Th-"

"I suggest you not waste my time. Do not think for a second that I would hesitate to take over your body. In fact the person who is beside me would probably wish to see that happen."

"Li Wen...!"

As Ye Gui Feng dismisses the shroud that is covering Li Wen's spiritual body the sixth patriarch directs a hateful glare at them.

[Hmph didn't think I'd live to see the day you end up in such a sorry state sixth patriarch.]

Having wanted something to vent his anger against from receiving the news that his former disciple had gone over to the fifth elder's side during his seclusion Li Wen felt sense of satisfaction in seeing the sixth patriarch humiliated in such a manner.

"...Will senior let me live if I tell you what you want to know?"

"That depends."

In all honestly Ye Gui Feng has no intentions of letting the sixth patriarch live after hearing what Li Wen had gone through.

This is a person who would forget his debts the moment everything is settled and would even bite back at his benefactor so there is little meaning in letting them live.
