215 Pretending To Be From The Demon Abyss

“Miss, Master wants you to go over.” The bearded man who had appeared in the backyard quickly said to Kong Rui anxiously.

Kong Rui nodded and instructed the procuress to tell her if Su Niang sent someone over. Then, she followed the man back to the backyard.

As the procuress stared at Kong Rui’s back, she felt that her two masters were becoming stranger and stranger.

Kong Rui followed the man to the backyard. When she walked into the room, she saw Chao Bai sitting on a chair as he examined a small jade pendant.

“What’s wrong?” From Chao Bai’s behavior, Kong Rui felt as if something serious had happened.

“Just now, you heard him say that someone went to Ghost Valley in the name of the Demon Abyss,” Chao Bai said while looking at Kong Rui with an extremely serious gaze.

“Yes, so can you tell me what happened?” Kong Rui asked seriously.

Just because she avoided it previously didn’t mean that she wasn’t curious, especially about matters related to the Demon Abyss and the Li family.

However, that was an internal matter of Ghost Valley after all, so if Chao Bai didn’t want her to know, she wouldn’t ask further.

Chao Bai gestured for Kong Rui to sit down.

Kong Rui sat beside Chao Bai without hesitation and waited quietly.

After Chao Bai placed the jade pendant on the table, he pushed it towards Kong Rui.

After Kong Rui glanced at the jade pendant, she couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Is this really from the Demon Abyss?” From Kong Rui’s reaction, Chao Bai had already confirmed the origin of this jade pendant.

“Yes!” Kong Rui nodded. She didn’t intend to hide it.

“This jade is the Black Dragon Jade in the Demon Abyss. Because it has been tainted by the Demon Abyss’s demonic aura all year round, not only is its entire body black, but it also has a faint demonic aura,” Kong Rui explained as she looked at the demonic aura lingering on the jade pendant.

“This Black Dragon Jade comes from the canyon in the depths of the Demon Abyss. Not only is it protected by the Demon Abyss Forest, but it’s also guarded by magical beasts. It’s very difficult for ordinary people to obtain it!”

Upon hearing Kong Rui’s words, Chao Bai confirmed his guess once again.

“It seems that someone from the Li family is indeed a demon!” Chao Bai said indifferently, as if he wasn’t surprised.

Kong Rui had expected this long ago, but now that it had been confirmed, she was a little surprised. “Who is it?”

Chao Bai looked at the bearded man.

The man immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, “It’s the green-robed man who serves the Li family’s patriarch.”

After Kong Rui recalled carefully, she remembered that that person seemed to be a member of the Li Clan from the Second Elder’s lineage.

In fact, Li Ling’s father and this person were cousins. Although they were not direct descendants of the Li family, they were still relatives.

“It seems that he isn’t the only one in the Li family who has cultivated the demonic path.” Kong Rui’s lips curled up slightly, and her face was filled with disdain. “What imperial family? They just want to attack the Demon Abyss!”

“Tell her what else you know,” Chao Bai instructed the man.

That person immediately replied, “That person came to Ghost Valley with a token of the Demon Clan and said that he hoped to cooperate with Ghost Valley in the name of the Demon Clan.”

“How did he enter Ghost Valley?” Kong Rui interrupted the man. This was what she was curious about.

The man frowned for a moment before saying, “He killed a disciple of Ghost Valley and escaped the maze with the disciple’s token before entering the valley.”

“We only realized that a disciple was missing after he left. It’s really…” The man sighed heavily.

“Alright, continue!” Chao Bai didn’t let the man continue to lament over it. Instead, he urged him to continue the topic.

That person immediately composed himself and continued, “That person said that the Demon Abyss is interested in working with Ghost Valley to eliminate all five families during the Spirit Beast Tournament.”

“All five families?” Kong Rui raised her eyebrows. She didn’t expect such a request.

“Yes! All of them!” The person continued, “Before we found the young master, we had no intention of exposing Ghost Valley to the world, so we rejected his request.”

Hearing the bearded man’s words, Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and immediately grasped the main point.

They had no plans before finding Chao Bai. In other words, after finding Chao Bai, they were prepared to attack the families of the five continents?

Although Kong Rui didn’t know the reason, she vaguely felt that Ghost Valley wasn’t dealing with one or two families, but all the families on the five continents!

As Kong Rui was thinking, the bearded man continued, “After that person left, we wanted to send someone to track him, but we realized that he disappeared after entering the Demon Abyss. Only then did we confirm that he was from the Demon Abyss. However, we didn’t expect him to come with the Li family this time.”
