Yue Guang did not believe that Diao Deyi would do such a thing while in hiding, especially with the mbers of the Lin Family wearing night walking clothes.
The situation at Peony Workshop was almost self-explanatory.
"Just that... Lin Jie has placed too much trust in the source of the information."
"He even prepared night walking clothes in advance, as well as those masked cloths on the ground."
"He really planned to slaughter the entire Peony Workshop and those from the Foolish Underworld who ca to investigate."
"The Peony Workshop can be understood, as it is indeed one of the territories of the Red Moon Demon; but what does he an by killing the people from the Foolish Underworld?"
"Moreover, letting go of the most important mbers of the Mo Family in the Peony Workshop without any pursuit, yet ruthlessly exterminating those from the Foolish Underworld..."
"Sothing’s not right... There must be sothing I’ve overlooked."
"After all, Lin Jie’s actions today are completely contrary to his usual behavior."
Yue Guang never forgot the dead Thousand Spider Demon, always seeking an opportunity for revenge.
Lin Jie was one of the targets, not to ntion that Lin Jie had been so high-profile lately, naturally, his movents would be noted.
Thus, it was easy to notice the abnormality in his actions this ti.
"Abnormal, way too abnormal!"
"It’s almost as if... he got so information from a demon!"
"He’s confident that he will gain sothing! That’s why he’s mobilizing such a large force!"
In Yue Guang’s eyes, a terrifying murderous intent flickered.
If that were the case, he would have to do sothing.
Betraying one’s own demon kind is a taboo amongst taboos.
"And the Lin Family... ti and again... do they really think I have no temper?"
...
Peony Workshop.
"Diao Deyi!"
Lord Li Baizhen cradled Fang Yu and checked his breathing, feeling relieved.
Although his clothes were torn and wounds covered his body, he was still alive.
"That demon, it’s the Green Demon!"
Lord Li Baizhen had seen the true form of the Green Demon on the day of the battle at the docks.
Why would this guy want to kill Lin Jie and severely injure Diao Deyi?
Has Diao Deyi’s identity as a demon insider been exposed, leveraging his convenience as a Demon Martial Artist to infiltrate the demon side?
No!
Not right!
Lord Li Baizhen imdiately realized there was more complexity to the situation.
If the Green Demon had the ability to kill Lin Jie, why not kill Diao Deyi?
Clearly, there was more to the story.
Fortunately, Diao Deyi was still alive. Once he regained consciousness, everything would beco crystal clear.
Now, the only problem was... how to deal with Lin Jie’s death.
And then there were all the corpses, the ruins and debris.
People from the Peony Workshop, the Lin Family, and... the Foolish Underworld.
The sight of all these corpses darkened Lord Li Baizhen’s expression.
These n were personally assigned to Fang Yu, and now they all lay dead here.
Most of these n were borrowed through his connections and temporarily reassigned.
Originally ant to be returned after Diao Deyi completed his mission.
But now they’re all dead, there’s no one to return!
He rembered the incident where the whole team led by Diao Deyi to Ronghua Dyeing Factory was wiped out.
Now at the Peony Workshop, history repeats itself.
Coincidence...
Or accident?
Couldn’t be...
Lord Li Baizhen thought of an extrely terrifying, chilling conjecture.
Could it be... Diao Deyi had actually been turned by the demons and beco an insider for the demons?
Demons having Diao Deyi continuously bring people out from the Foolish Underworld to their deaths, leaving Diao Deyi alive to deplete the power of the Foolish Underworld...
No!
This line of thought is also wrong!
Although the idea is terrifying, the reasoning is flawed.
If Diao Deyi were turned by the demons, he could have a much larger role, not just killing a few of his subordinates.
In the end, the operation of the Foolish Underworld, its core strength, starts with hundreds.
Tens are just a small elite below, though losing many is slightly hurtful, it does not shake the foundation.
After so many years of opposition between the demons and the Foolish Underworld, how could they not understand this?
If there was a Demon Martial Artist as an insider, it’s highly unlikely that they would only perform such minor tasks; it would be a waste of significant talent.
Indeed, this matter should be discussed after Diao Deyi wakes up; speculating wildly is aningless.
What needs to be addressed now is the wrath of the Lin Family.
Lin Jie died at the Peony Workshop, although killed by a demon, death is still death.
The Lin Family will not just let it go.
The pressure from a top family of Tianyuan Town on Lord Li Baizhen is imnse.
He still rembered when Lin Bie Sheng died in the battle at the docks, the Lin Family had exerted pressure on him.
But after all, it was only a person from the Guardian Martial Hall who died.
Important, yes, but not to the point where it would cause a falling out with the Foolish Underworld, especially since at that ti the Lin Family believed that it was the demons who killed their man.
They didn’t think about it, nor did they ask the Foolish Underworld for case files.
But now, what died was the son of the Lin Family Patriarch, their Ninth Young Master!
The nature of the matter changed instantly.
If the Lin Family insisted on having Diao Deyi’s case files, whether to give them or not, even Lord Li Baizhen was unsure.
"Lord Li Baizhen!"
[Che Linfang] led her team over at a brisk pace, giving him a slight shake of the head.
"No survivors, the Diao Deyi you saved is the only survivor."
As expected.
The rest of the Foolish Underworld mbers were still searching around the Peony Workshop, but clues were already scarce.
Lord Li Baizhen slowly closed his eyes, pondered, then spoke.
"The Peony Workshop, it’s a property of the Mo Family, right?"
"Yes."
Before coming here, [Che Linfang] had also reviewed the case files.
"Take your team, arrest all the Mo Family mbers, and imprison them, waiting for interrogation."
"Yes!"
[Che Linfang] turned the team around to leave but was stopped again by Lord Li Baizhen.
"Wait! Rember, the Shopkeeper of the Peony Workshop, Mo Lingyu, must be captured alive."
