"Not bad, not bad. Back then, I worked hard for so many years on Longhu Mountain."
"Life is no easier for us than for you."
"Did I ever complain when I was going through such a tough time?"
"absolutely not!"
Lin Yan, from Under One Person, nodded and spoke with a look of grief and indignation.
When it comes to a life of misery, no one can compare to him.
Although he was of a high seniority in Longhu Mountain, the difficulty of his cultivation was the highest. Every day, besides cultivating, he would sweep the floor.
He didn't even have a day to rest, and just thinking about it made him feel like the hard times were finally over.
. . . . . .
Among the four halls of the Demonic Cult, Zhu Wujie was lying on his bed, groaning in pain.
In the afternoon, he was given thirty strokes of the cane by Lin Yan, which was not just a matter of physical injury.
Lin Yan showed no mercy, not only breaking several of his bones but also inflicting serious internal injuries.
At this point, the pain was so intense that I couldn't sleep.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Reporting to the Hall Master, the Dharma Protector wishes to see you."
The sound of his subordinates outside the door caused a look of confusion to appear on Zhu Wujie's face.
The Dharma Protector of the Demonic Cult holds a very special position within the cult.
Those who can serve as protectors of the Demonic Cult must be extremely powerful.
In terms of pure strength, Zhu Wujie wasn't confident that he could be more powerful than the Demonic Sect's protector.
"Go, please invite the Dharma Protector in."
Although it was difficult for Zhu Wujie to get up, he still intended to meet this protector of the demonic sect first.
There were four protectors of the Demonic Cult in total, and Zhu Wujie only knew one of them.
But when the door was opened, the demonic cult protector who entered made Zhu Wujie pause slightly in surprise.
The newcomer had a monkey-like face, wore a long blue robe, and had a hearty smile.
"Jumping Protector?"
Zhu Wujie looked puzzled. Although this wasn't the first time he had met this tiaotiao, he was still puzzled.
However, they had no real relationship and rarely spoke to each other.
Why would someone come to see me after I was punished and injured by the cult leader?
Zhu Wujie wasn't stupid. After he was punished by the cult leader, many people avoided him like the plague.
There's absolutely no way someone would suddenly come looking for you.
"Hahaha, the Fourth Master seems quite surprised to see me."
"I heard that the Fourth Hall Master was punished because of a Deputy Hall Master. I'm here to stand up for you."
Tiaotiao walked over to Zhu Wujie with a smile, picked up a chair, and sat down.
Then he turned to look at the two disciples from the fourth hall who had also entered.
"You two blind fools, get out of here!"
"Didn't you see I was talking to the Dharma Protector?"
Zhu Wujie immediately understood what Tiaotiao meant and promptly reprimanded the two subordinates who entered.
It was obvious to everyone that this protector of the demonic sect had something to say to Zhu Wujie.
"Guardian, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't get up."
"This is the only way I can talk to you."
"I apologize in advance."
Zhu Wujie lay on the bed and politely bowed to Tiaotiao.
Compared to his attitude towards Niu Xuanfeng, his attitude towards this protector of the Demonic Sect was exceptionally good.
After all, the protectors of the Demonic Cult are different from their hall masters, even though they don't have any real power.
However, they were the people closest to the cult leader, Black Heart Tiger, and could be considered his confidants.
Chapter 38 Personal Feud Intensifies, the Scheme of the Qingguang Sword Successor
Compared to the Hall Master, the Protector's words carry more weight with Black Tiger.
Therefore, even Zhu Wujie would not offend a demonic cult protector.
Moreover, they were clearly there to see me; whatever their purpose, they were at least guests.
"It's alright, Fourth Master, you don't need to be so polite."
"I was just passing by and stopped by to take a look."
"I never expected that a mere deputy hall master would be so ruthless, beating you, Fourth Hall Master, to this state."
"Even Niu Xuanfeng probably wouldn't dare to treat the Fourth Hall Master like this."
"This is no longer a punishment, it's a personal vendetta."
Jump Jump patted Pig Wu Jie's shoulder with a smile, his face showing anger.
The word "personal grudge" in that last sentence completely ignited Zhu Wujie's anger to its extreme.
"Yes, Niu Xuanfeng and Niu Yan have always been at odds with me."
"This must have been pre-arranged by those two, a deliberate act of revenge against me."
Zhu Wujie also slammed his hand on the bed, a look of anger appearing on his face.
He already harbored resentment towards Niu Xuanfeng, and now he even hated Lin Yan, given his vengeful nature.
When the opportunity arises, I will definitely avenge this grudge a hundredfold.
"Sigh, it's really not worth it for you, Fourth Master."
"He was clearly working for the Demonic Sect, but he failed to do one thing right."
"The sect leader actually treats you like this, and even lets a mere deputy hall master treat you like this."
"There are some things I really can't say, lest I hurt your feelings, Fourth Master."
Jump Jump sighed softly, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.
He came here supposedly to see Pig Wujie, but that's not the real purpose.
The real purpose was to sow discord between the Fourth Hall and the Third Hall.
As a protector of the demonic sect, he also has another unknown identity.
That was the successor of the Azure Light Sword, one of the Seven Swordsmen.
However, no one knew this identity.
"What do you mean by that, Guardian?"
"The kindness the cult leader has shown me is something that Zhu Wujie can never repay in his lifetime."
"I don't blame the sect leader for what happened this time; I only blame Niu Yan for being ungrateful."
“One day, I, Zhu Wujie, will naturally avenge this grudge.”
Pig Wujie was startled when he heard what Jump Jump said.
Discussing Black-Hearted Tiger in private is a serious crime.
Even if Jump Jump is a protector of the Demonic Cult, if Black Heart Tiger finds out, he'll probably be in deep trouble.
"Sigh, does the Fourth Master really not know, or is he pretending to be confused?"
“That Niu Yan has already been favored by the sect leader. I heard that even the young master wants to meet him.”
"Furthermore, the cult leader also said..."
"No, no, no, I can't say such things carelessly, lest the cult leader finds out and skins me alive."
Jump Jump shook his head, a pitiful look appearing in his eyes.
Clearly, this is out of pity for the pig Wujie in front of them.
But Zhu Wujie wasn't a fool; upon hearing Tiaotiao's words, he immediately understood.
There are some things about the cult leader that I don't know.
Moreover, this matter concerns his future.
“Guardian, Jump Jump Guardian.”
