Song Daren's Heart Demon, Peak Heads Gather at Tongtian Peak!

Bai Ye had not expected it either.

His Senior Brother, Song Daren, actually had the leisure to visit him.

As Dazhu Peak's Senior Brother, Song Daren was not especially gifted. He was a big, burly man, but he was honest, kind-hearted, and sincere.

All the junior brothers of Dazhu Peak held their Senior Brother in high regard, and Bai Ye was no exception.

Although his strength had surpassed that of his Senior Brother, he had never shown him any disrespect. On the contrary, he acknowledged him as his Senior Brother from the bottom of his heart.

"Senior Brother, you hardly ever come to visit us junior brothers. Usually, you're busy teaching Senior Brother Du and the others. Why did you suddenly come to see me today?"

Looking at the short, stout, honest-looking man who had come to his side, Bai Ye asked in puzzlement.

Perhaps because he felt his own cultivation talent was lacking, his Senior Brother had been doing his utmost to help the other disciples of Dazhu Peak improve their cultivation, so that Tian Buyi's Dazhu Peak would not lose face.

Not just anyone could possess such a mindset!

That was why everyone on Dazhu Peak respected Song Daren.

Even Tian Buyi, though he often berated Song Daren for being slow-witted, only did so on the surface. In truth, he cared deeply for his eldest disciple.

"Junior Brother Bai, do you have any wine?"

At that, Song Daren sighed softly and directly asked Bai Ye for wine.

Bai Ye said nothing more and took out a flask of Flower Bamboo Spirit Wine for Song Daren.

"Gulp, gulp!"

"Fine wine!"

Song Daren took a huge swig, then laughed. "Junior Brother, I've been in the Qingyun Sect for a hundred years, yet this is the first time I've tasted such uniquely fine wine, carrying the fragrance of bamboo!"

"If Senior Brother wants some, I have plenty. I'll send a few large jars over later."

Bai Ye smiled faintly.

"Good! I'll hold you to that, Junior Brother."

As he spoke, Song Daren took several more large gulps of wine.

Seeing Song Daren's actions, Bai Ye did not stop him. Only after Song Daren had drained the entire flask did he finally ask.

"Senior Brother Song, do you have something on your mind?"

Song Daren's face was slightly flushed. With the courage brought on by the wine, he began to speak. "Junior Brother Bai, do you think I'm terribly unfit to be a Senior Brother?"

"Not only is my cultivation talent poor, but my strength is nothing remarkable either. I'm not good with words, and among the many disciples of Dazhu Peak, I'm hardly worth mentioning."

"Especially you, Junior Brother. Your talent is unmatched. After cultivating for merely five years, you've reached an unimaginable realm of strength. You've even mastered the Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art."

After a pause, Song Daren let out a wine-scented burp and continued, "Compared to you, I'm inferior in every possible way!"

"Do you think I'm unworthy of being Dazhu Peak's Senior Brother?"

Hearing Song Daren pour out his heart, Bai Ye was slightly taken aback. Then his expression changed subtly.

What happened?!

What kind of blow could have struck Song Daren so hard?!

Could someone actually have dared to humiliate Song Daren?

At that thought, Bai Ye's expression turned cold.

Courting death!!!

"Senior Brother, no matter what anyone else says, you are Dazhu Peak's Senior Brother."

"If anyone dares to bully Dazhu Peak, tell me, Senior Brother. I'll beat him to death."

Bai Ye looked at Song Daren, his expression utterly sincere.

Hearing this, Song Daren looked at Bai Ye, and gratitude flashed across his face.

Their eyes met by chance.

At that very instant, a faint golden radiance shone in Bai Ye's eyes, strange and mystical.

Heart Demon Beckoning!

In that instant, Song Daren froze, then burst into tears.

In his mind, the words his master Tian Buyi had spoken to him that morning rang out.

Tian Buyi's meaning had been roughly this.

He intended to hand over the position of Dazhu Peak's Peak Head to Song Daren.

Upon hearing this news, Song Daren had been stunned and repeatedly refused.

After all, he knew Bai Ye's strength and talent.

Having Bai Ye become the next Peak Head of Dazhu Peak was the right choice.

Thus, he had refused again and again.

Tian Buyi had berated Song Daren fiercely because of it.

"Master!"

"This disciple cannot succeed as Dazhu Peak's Peak Head. My talent is meager, and I am far inferior to Junior Brother Bai Ye."

"If I were to succeed as Peak Head, how could I face Junior Brother Bai Ye? How could I face the many junior brothers of Dazhu Peak?"

Song Daren instantly wept bitterly, just like a child.

Only then did Bai Ye learn what had truly happened.

He was slightly shaken as well.

"Senior Brother, in my heart, you are the best candidate to become Dazhu Peak's Peak Head."

"I think Master is right. There's no problem with you becoming the next Peak Head, Senior Brother. Haven't you always done an excellent job?"

"I believe that you will do just as well as Dazhu Peak's Peak Head."

Looking at the tearful Song Daren, Bai Ye spoke earnestly.

He had never expected that his Senior Brother's guilt toward him would trigger a heart demon.

"As for this junior brother of yours!"

"I've been wild and unruly all my life. If you let me succeed as Dazhu Peak's Peak Head, I'd probably just slack off. But Senior Brother, you've always done well. I support you from the bottom of my heart. I imagine that is why Master wants you to become the next Peak Head."

Bai Ye continued as he looked at Song Daren.

"Senior Brother, don't let Master's painstaking efforts go to waste!"

As soon as those words were spoken.

Song Daren seemed to awaken from his drunkenness. His mind filled with the care and guidance Tian Buyi had given him over the years.

"Junior Brother is right!"

"I will not disappoint Master's efforts. If not for Junior Brother's guidance today, I fear I would have strayed onto the wrong path!"

As he spoke, Song Daren looked at Bai Ye with gratitude in his eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Ye finally sighed inwardly in relief.

Fortunately, he had finally set his Senior Brother straight.

If this matter had caused his Senior Brother to develop a heart demon, that would truly have been a grave sin.

Thus, Bai Ye had boldly used Heart Demon Beckoning to draw out the heart demon buried deep within his Senior Brother's heart. Only by completely bringing it forth and overcoming it could his Senior Brother regain his confidence.

"Senior Brother, work hard. I believe you can do it!"

Then Bai Ye picked up the Drunken God Gourd and took another gulp of wine.

Hearing this, Senior Brother Song Daren returned to his usual honest and simple manner. Looking at Bai Ye, he said, "Junior Brother Bai, though this wine is good, don't drink too much. It must not affect your cultivation."

"Also, Master was urgently summoned to Tongtian Peak by disciples from the sect this morning. All the Peak Heads of the Seven Peaks have gone.

It seems people from the Demonic Path have secretly entered our Qingyun Sect. You live here alone, so be careful."

At those words, a strange light flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.

They discovered it?

Then how would the sect handle this next?
