The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 52

Chapter 52: Grand Plan

The appearance and disappearance of demons caused a sensation on Long Xiang Continent. After that incident, You XiaoMo remained inside Capital Peak, so he didn’t know much about what was happening outside. But he did hear some disciples discussing the matter.

It was said that the Tian Xin Sect linked up with other sects to pressure the Qing Cheng Sect to account for what happened. After all, Luo Shan was indeed the nephew of the Grand Master of the Qing Cheng Sect. Furthermore, his transformation happened in front of many people. While the transformation took place, his facial features did not change much so that negated the rumor that it was an impostor of Luo Shan.

The Grand Master of the Qing Cheng Sect, Luo ChengYuan , also never considered that his own nephew would actually be a demon. But after a thorough investigation, a shocking secret was uncovered.

Luo ChengYuan’s younger brother, Luo ChengYun , was Luo Shan’s father. When he was young, he often left the Qing Cheng Sect to train and gather experience. The Luo ChengYun at that time could be considered a dashing and elegant handsome prince. His admirers could almost encircle twice of the Qing Cheng Sect’s territory. It was just that Luo ChengYun didn’t think much of them.

However, not even six months after leaving the Qing Cheng Sect to train, he encountered Luo Shan’s mother. Luo Shan’s mother was a half-demon. The so-called half-demons were offsprings between demons and practitioners.

Since they still had human blood lineage, these type of people were usually called half-demons. The biggest difference between them and pure-blood demons was that half-demons looked exactly like humans , c ompletely devoid of any outer demon characteristics.

Due to this, although demons detested humans, in order to accomplish their grand plan, they would capture some humans to mate with low level demons. The offsprings were gathered and trained and when they reached a certain age, they would be sent to infiltrate humans.

Luo Shan’s mother was just one of those spies dispatched to lie low among humans , and because she was very beautiful and also her intellect was high, she quickly attracted the attention of Luo ChengYun.

Not long after, the both of them became caught up in the river of love, unable to extricate themselves. Soon they conceived Luo Shan. When the two of them got married, they did not notify Luo ChengYuan. Due to all sorts of complicated reasons, Luo ChengYuan only knew that his younger brother had gotten married and that they had a plump and strong son called Luo Shan.

After getting married, Luo ChengYun planned to bring his wife and son back to the Qing Cheng Sect. It was on the way back that Luo ChengYun discovered his wife’s true nature. The reason she got close to him was to infiltrate the inner core of the Qing Cheng Sect. In a fit of rage, Luo ChengYun and his wife fought to the death and both of them died that very night, leaving the son behind .

But according to eyewitnesses, the couple was a victim of a surprise attack, all of them died in the end. As for Luo Shan, he disappeared since that night and some people said that he had died. Others claimed that he was picked up by passersby. In short, the opinions were widely varied.

The reality was, the newborn Luo Shan did not die, and he also wasn’t stolen away. He was taken away by the associate of Luo ChengYun’s wife , because Luo Shan was even more suited to being a spy than his mother. Since he only had one quarter of the demon blood lineage, the probability of him transforming into a demon was not high, so the chance of him being found out was also not high.

This was the plan that the demons had , so they brought Luo Shan back and trained him since he was young, planning to send him back to recognize his clan when he was older. So , when Luo Shan turned ten, he was sent back to the Qing Cheng Sect.

The Grand Master Luo ChengYuan had always felt guilty towards his younger brother’s family. If he had sent people to greet them at that time, they wouldn’t have fallen victim to villains and suffered early deaths. So, when Luo Shan returned, Luo ChengYuan felt ashamed and remorse ful, so he was always relatively indulgent for many things. This was one of the reasons why Luo Shan grew up to be so arrogant and considered everyone beneath him. Of course , this was also related to Luo Shan’s role as a demon spy. The ten year old Luo Shan already considered himself a demon, with humans as the enemy.

The Qing Cheng Sect was unable to keep this matter under wraps and it very quickly leaked out and caused a huge uproar.

While everyone was sobbing and sighing over this, they also started to become more vigilant. If not for this exposure of Luo Shan as a demon, they would still be clueless of this demon grand plan. Actually sending those half-demons to lie low among humans. If a battle between the two sides were to happen in the future, wouldn’t the other side easily stab them in the back? Thinking like this, all the big sects erupted in a frenzy trying to dig out half-demons.

It was said that this continued on for almost three months , leading to the discovery of several half-demons who were then thrown out.

The Northern Skeleton Mountain Range.

After getting this news, the number one commander of the demons flew into a rage right on the spot. He killed the messenger but that didn’t reduce his rage. A violent and sinister killing energy swept through the main hall while the frightened underlings didn’t dare to utter a sound. The banquet that had been in full swing with song and dance fell deathly silent in an instant. The women demons that were dancing erotically were reduced to small shivering lumps.

“Tell me! What is going on? Why is it that our spies in all the main sects are being rooted out?” The demon commander yelled darkly, his furious glare fell on the other messenger. His killing aura threatened to erupt and tear the latter into pieces.

That demon , who had just witnessed the death of his comrade , had long ago become weak-kneed from fright. Dripping with cold sweat, he didn’t dare to waste even a second when he heard those words. He repeated everything he heard about the matter in a cautious tone as if he were terrified that he would leave out a word.

After listening to the whole thing, the demon commander slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them up again, the furious rage was even more intense than before. At the same time he said icily, “What you’re saying is that the spies we sent out fifteen years ago were kicked out by the Tian Xin Sect?”

“Ye … Yes! That person seemed to be an outstanding person from the Warrior Division of the Tian Xin Sect, a leader of the younger generation, called Lin Xiao.”

“Lin Xiao?” The demon commander spit out these words coldly.

“How did he find out Luo Shan’s identity? Even if he is outstanding, he couldn’t have discovered the identity of Luo Shan , who only ha d a quarter of demon blood.”

“This, no one understand s this.”

At that time, he was also doubtful. But further investigation also revealed nothing.

At this moment, the young demon standing next to the commander , who was also the second in line, stepped up. He clasped his hand and bowed respectfully saying, “Commander, in my lowly opinion, this Lin Xiao must have obtained some ingenious method to discover demons. If not, he wouldn’t have discovered Luo Shan’s identity after meeting him only once. If he had already figured it out earlier, the Tian Xin Sect would have taken some action long ago and not waited until now.”

“You are right. Looks like we can’t let this Lin Xiao be. Do we still have spies in the Tian Xin Sect?” The demon commander was obviously not brainless. It seemed he immediately agreed with his underlings way of thinking.

The young demon said, “We do. But only one. Furthermore, that person’s status in the Tian Xin Sect is not low. If we are to rashly show our hand, it may expose his identity. If this happens, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to send another person to get inside.”

The demon commander waved it off , not paying it any heed , saying, “We can ignore the matter of being exposed for now. If he really possesses this ingenious method, that person would be exposed sooner or later. It’s better to dispose of him to avoid an endless stream of troubles in the future.”

“Commander has decreed, so your servant will arrange it.” The young demon no longer objected.

At this time, Ling Xiao still didn’t know that he was now considered a nail in the eye by the demons, with them unified in thinking up a way to dispose of him. If he knew, he would most probably find it very amusing and eagerly await the arrival of that person. But if it were the former Lin Xiao, he would most probably be very uneasy. After all, if that spy’s status was not low in the Tian Xin Sect, with Lin Xiao’s ability, he probably wouldn’t be able to put up a fight.

Just when the demons were putting forth schemes and plans, the Tian Xin Sect’s Warrior Division was welcoming their grand annual friendly competition.
