【Feng Zhenxin knelt on one knee and calmly replied, “Master, the only expert behind me is you alone.”】
【“The strongest demon I can call on is only Huannianhe, lord of Jian Demon City.”】
【“If Xiang Muchen really came seeking revenge, I would be no match.”】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu pinched his chin with one hand and murmured, “Then what do you think they’re really afraid of?”】
【At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away at Red Dawn Mountain,】
【Dog demon Lu Ye stood inside the demon lord’s cave, his face full of worry.】
【Since learning of the death of his second brother Yang Xiao, he had naturally taken over this territory.】
【But as for avenging his brother, that was never mentioned.】
【Having the land didn’t mean Lu Ye was happy about it.】
【He had been frowning for days.】
【Just then, a heavy voice sounded.】
【“Big brother, I’m back!”】
【Lu Ye looked up to see his third brother, ox demon Zhou Zichuan, arriving.】
【Seeing him, Lu Ye was overjoyed and hurried to greet him, sizing him up.】
【“How is it? Have you pacified the master?”】
【Zhou Zichuan forced a tired smile.】
【“Don’t worry, big brother. I have calmed the master and persuaded him to let go of Yang Xiao’s matter.”】
【Upon hearing this, Lu Ye laughed loudly.】
【To be honest, if other demons overheard the brothers’ conversation, their worldview might shatter on the spot.】
【“Alright, your brothers are dead,”】
【“but instead of thinking about revenge, you focus on calming the master so he won’t care about Yang Xiao.”】
【“That’s really impressive.”】
【“Do you three have some deep-seated hatred? Blood feud or something?”】
【In fact, although Lu Ye and Zhou Zichuan usually looked down on Yang Xiao, the three brothers still cared for each other.】
【Otherwise, they wouldn’t always stick together.】
【But feelings aside, when faced with death, survival was most important.】
【Previously, Lu Ye tried to reconcile with Feng Zhenxin at the Conscience Workshop but didn’t meet him.】
【That night, feeling angrier, he thought to contact Yang Xiao via communication stone to share the hardships of being the eldest brother.】
【But unexpectedly, that night, the communication stone went silent.】
【The next day, when Lu Ye went again to the Conscience Workshop to find Feng Zhenxin,】
【he unexpectedly saw Feng Zhenxin returning, along with Ye Yu, whom they had previously put a bounty on.】
【The two returned openly to the Conscience Workshop, immediately arousing Lu Ye’s suspicion.】
【He then saw the posted bounty for Yang Xiao at the workshop’s gate had been withdrawn.】
【Instantly, countless possibilities flashed through Lu Ye’s mind.】
【He quickly left Jian Demon City and found his third brother Zhou Zichuan.】
【He told him everything he had seen and heard.】
【Hearing this, Zhou Zichuan became furious.】
【He insisted that if their second brother Yang Xiao had been killed, they must avenge him.】
【However, Lu Ye opposed the idea.】
【He slapped Zhou Zichuan to calm him down, then began analyzing the situation.】
【“That white-haired monkey demon Ye Yu is very close with Feng Zhenxin, even openly entering and leaving the Conscience Workshop.”】
【“That means they have a close relationship.”】
【“I even boldly speculate that Ye Yu’s plan to steal the Heavenly Demon World-Ending Art was with Feng Zhenxin’s help.”】
【“Otherwise, why would Feng Zhenxin spend five million demon stones to put a bounty on Yang Xiao’s head?”】
【After hearing this analysis, Zhou Zichuan felt it made sense, but soon realized something was off.】
【“Because Feng Zhenxin had also put a bounty on Ye Yu before.”】
【“Maybe their relationship isn’t that close.”】
【Lu Ye then demonstrated his strange thinking, suggesting two possibilities.】
【“First, Feng Zhenxin’s bounty on Ye Yu was just a smokescreen to confuse others, pretending not to be close so we wouldn’t suspect their cooperation.”】
【“Second, maybe Ye Yu really offended Feng Zhenxin before, but later couldn’t bear the pressure.”】
【“So he shared the Heavenly Demon World-Ending Art with him, turning foes into partners.”】
【“Either way, it’s very bad for us!”】
【“The main point is, once the Heavenly Demon World-Ending Art issue is exposed, we both face disaster!”】
【At this, Zhou Zichuan was truly panicked and quickly asked Lu Ye what to do.】
【After pondering, Lu Ye made a decision.】
【They would ignore Yang Xiao’s death completely!】
【Pretend to know nothing, and even if they did, never cause trouble for Feng Zhenxin or Ye Yu.】
【Moreover, they must control themselves and the master to not seek revenge.】
【Ye Yu finding the Heavenly Demon World-Ending Art in Yang Xiao’s lair must never be known by their master.】
【This was the top priority.】
【The death of their second brother was unfortunate, but they mustn’t lose themselves as well.】
【Zhou Zichuan agreed after thinking a moment that this was the right choice.】
【But if the master inquired about Yang Xiao’s death, what then?】
【Lu Ye’s answer was simple: he brought it on himself by stealing from the Conscience Workshop.】
【They would have no justification for revenge and would become a laughingstock.】
【Thanks to the efforts of the dog demon and ox demon,】
【the matter of Red Dawn Sheep Lord Yang Xiao’s death was completely suppressed.】
【Honestly, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) these two cared much more than Ye Yu!】
【A single Heavenly Demon World-Ending Art had forced the three brothers into this state — perhaps their karmic retribution.】
【Meanwhile,】
【Inside the Conscience Workshop, Ye Yu no longer dwelled on Yang Xiao’s death and instead inquired about any good cultivation manuals recently found.】
【Feng Zhenxin lowered his head slightly: “Master, demon world cultivation manuals are rare and hard to come by.”】
【“And the high grade you request sometimes can’t be bought even with demon stones!”】
【Ye Yu showed a hint of disappointment.】
【Since entering the Golden Demon Realm, his cultivation had slowed considerably, which was not good.】
【Did this mean he had to wait patiently for a good manual?】
【Or should he just open automatic cultivation and blindly push forward again?】
【Feng Zhenxin stepped forward and said again, “If you are truly anxious, master, I can set out to sea today and have a look?”】
