Repeated Bombshells (continued)

"From my observation, no, unless she deliberately impersonates someone else and her acting is so skillful that she leaves no trace, otherwise someone as outspoken as the Holy Woman of the Mohist School would not be able to miss it—unless her usual personality is also a facade, then that's another story."

Next, Huang Yan mentioned some of his suspected targets. Fortunately, apart from Yun Jinzang, the other Su State were all known individuals. At least, there was no situation like the villainous organization in a certain Bleach manga, which was truly impossible to deal with.

Si Ming didn't know much about Spirit Transformation Grandmaster from other countries, so he didn't recognize some of the names Huang Yan mentioned. He could only remember them for now. Occasionally, a name would seem familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he would realize that it was an unlucky guy who had been killed by the Demon Emperor.

"... That's all the information I have about the members of the Remote Heaven Society. Are you satisfied?" Huang Yan asked.

"It's alright. Since you've shown your sincerity, I can't be too stingy."

Si Ming pulled a piece of cloth from his pocket and tossed it over, saying, "The details about the Flesh and Blood Wormhole are all written here, including the materials and methods needed for its setup, as well as any taboos to be aware of. If you're worried about the authenticity of the information, you can test it now by setting up a miniature array to verify its validity."

"No need. I believe Mad Ink would not fabricate anything in this matter."

Huang Yan unfolded the cloth and quickly browsed the contents.

"Oh, why is that?"

Si Ming stroked his chin smugly, wondering when he had earned the reputation of keeping his word.

Huang Yan looked puzzled and said, "Because you are Mohist. The Mohist's integrity is known to all. If it were Confucian School or Daoist School, I might hesitate a bit, but the Mohist always keep their word, and even those unscrupulous villains would not question it."

After saying that, he threw the cloth back and, facing Si Ming's questioning gaze, explained, "I possess the ability to remember everything I see."

Are villains these days all so all-powerful?

Si Ming felt a pang of regret; he had essentially given away all the bait, and he wanted to ask a few more questions.

However, unexpectedly, Huang Yan did not take the bait and run away. Instead, he said, "Since Mad Ink is so straightforward, I can no longer hide it. Anyway, once I leave Sea Continent, this information will be worthless."

I still don't understand the criteria for selecting members of the Remote Heaven Society. It was that the Nether Lord who suddenly appeared in front of me. After a conversation, he gave me a tree seed, saying that I could use it as a medium to exchange information with others. At that time, the Remote Heaven Society just a loose organization that simply exchanged information.

However, based on my observations and summaries, each member has an urgent desire and goal to achieve, which can also be called ambition. Moreover, their will to realize these desires far surpasses that of ordinary people. Some want to pursue a higher level of martial Dao Realm, some want to change the existing social order, some want to establish an immortal legacy, and some feel that the world is too boring and hope to make it more interesting.

Si Ming asked, "So, which one are you? Seeking revenge against the Nation of Valor Royal Family?"

Huang Yan said, "That's certainly part of the reason, but if it were just for revenge, I would do it more purely and would never contact the Demon Race. I'm tired of my past life and want to make some changes."

"So, you also find this world too boring and can't help but want to stir up trouble?"

Si Ming felt that this was the downside of a world with extraordinary martial arts; some willful individuals could stir up bloodshed with a single thought, completely disregarding the lives of ordinary people.

If these people lived on Earth, even if they were bored, they would choose to abide by social order because they cannot challenge the whole society with their own strength. If they go too far, they may be punished by law. Even if they really become antisocial lunatics, they will be shot after they can only hurt a few people. Especially intelligent people like the Military God, nine times out of ten they would choose to suppress their impulses and try to hide their inner desires so that others would not notice.

Huang Yan laughed and said, "I don't think the world is boring, but I think my life is too boring. It's as if a 'Military God' can define my past, just like my old nemesis. In other people's hearts, he will always be the image of a 'War God', unchanging through the ages. I don't want others to use such a stereotypical title to summarize my life after I die."

So I wanted to make a change, to try and add more titles to myself to make my life more colorful, such as 'traitor to the Military School,' 'human villain,' and 'Demon Race strategist.' But these weren't powerful enough and were too negative. I wanted to make a more thorough change, so I found a truly earth-shattering title— 'Demon Emperor.'

Si Ming's eyes sharpened. "The Demon Emperor Chongjing is dead?"

"Yes, and all the demons unanimously agree that it was Thunder King who did it," Huang Yan said indirectly.

"... So you took the Eight Clouds Purple Thunder Halberd." Si Ming quickly figured out what the other party had omitted in their words.

"Please convey my thanks to the Thunder King. If it weren't for the Demon Halberd, victory would have been quite difficult. Besides, I have other uses for that Demon Halberd in the future, so I can't return it to him for now. I hope he can understand."

Even if he doesn't forgive you, would you voluntarily return it to him?

Si Ming rolled his eyes, then sighed deeply, "The Demon Emperor was a worthy opponent, what a pity... As expected, a villainous leader should possess super regeneration abilities or an indestructible special Cultivation Body, otherwise he can only make a brief appearance."

I agree with the first part of the statement.

"Do you really think that as a Human Race, you have a chance to become the 'Demon Emperor'?"

"It's precisely these seemingly impossible tasks that are challenging. In fact, through the merit of rescuing hundreds of thousands of Demon Beasts, I have already gained the support of many demon soldiers Demon General. In a sense, they are quite upright. Moreover, today, under the guise of negotiation, I asked them for a nominal leadership position. As long as they get used to this in the future, there is a high chance that they will be officially recognized."

"What if they knew you were the real culprit who killed the former Demon Emperor? 'If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place,' that's what you just said."

"That's why we need to leave as soon as possible. If we stay here, they'll find out the truth sooner or later, and once we leave Sea Continent, ninety percent of the leads will be lost."

"You're quite honest."

"Thank you for the compliment," Huang Yan said with a smile, accepting Si Ming's praise. Then, he became serious and said, "Back to the main topic, regarding the leader of the Remote Heaven Society, I suspect he is likely a powerful being who was sealed away in the past, and most likely a demon. That's why he induced us to sever the Divine Pillar and destroy the Eternal Barrier, all in order to break free. This would explain why he Zeng Shen any operations and why we haven't been able to find any clues related to him."

Were there any figures named 'Fushi Qingcang' in the past Sea Continent?

"This title is likely just something he made up on the spot; his real name is something else entirely, intended to avoid revealing his true identity. This is also one of the reasons that deepens my suspicions."

"A mysterious organization, inexplicably recruiting members, seemingly a powerful figure seeking to break free from a seal... I feel like I've seen a similar setup somewhere before."

As Si Ming was pondering what seemed so familiar, a sudden thought struck him, and he blurted out, "So the reason the Remote Heaven Society inactive for the past two years is because you're worried that severing all the Divine Pillar will cause this person to break free?"

"That's right. There are many smart people in the Remote Heaven Society, so I'm not the only one who realized this. Although we didn't say it outright, everyone tacitly chose to go on strike. Just then, your country was spreading rumors about the Remote Heaven Society, so we used that as an excuse to stop our activities. After all, we may have ambitions, but we're not crazy people who want to destroy the world."

"My men are all traitors!" Si Ming exclaimed. "Doesn't the leader have any objections to your shirking of work?"

"Nominally, we are all free, and whether or not we carry out the mission is entirely voluntary. However, there will be corresponding rewards after the mission is successful, such as Cultivation Method and treasures. Moreover, just as I guessed, the leader is likely sealed, so even if he has objections, he cannot punish him. However, based on my observation, his patience is almost exhausted, and he will take action soon. In addition, the severing of the two Divine Pillar may have freed up a lot of his power."

Si Ming glanced at him sideways and said, "So you're thinking of running away as soon as possible?"

Huang Yan laughed and did not deny it, "That's one of the reasons. An old monster sealed for thousands of years must be incredibly Divine Ability and possess unparalleled cultivation. Once it breaks free, it will surely bring Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, and heavenly calamities. However, its origin is mysterious, and we have no information about it. If we confront it, we will be at a great disadvantage. It's better to leave such a powerful enemy to your Mohist Knight Guard."

Si Ming clenched his fist and threatened, "You've told me all this, aren't you afraid I'll follow your example and betray you?"

"Even if you betray me after you've served your purpose, it's the Demon Race that will suffer. What does it have to do with me, the Military God Huang Yan? At most, I'll find a mountain to hide in for ten or eight years. Once the public's memory of me fades, I'll change my appearance and become a hero of the martial world again. There are quite a few wanted criminals on the Villain Ranking who haven't been caught yet. One more of me won't make a big deal," Huang Yan said straightforwardly.

"Hiding away for ten or eight years? That's easy for you to say. Can you really endure the hardship and loneliness of the mountains? You don't actually think the life of a hermit is carefree and idyllic, do you?"

Putting everything else aside, I'm very confident, at least in terms of patience.
