"No way, the scope of this bad luck is way too broad! Can you be more specific?" Xia Lin asked the system to give examples. The system answered honestly, "For example, falling down the stairs and breaking your leg, or getting hit and flown away by a crazy passing horse when walking on the road..."
"Okay, okay, I get it. Anyway, I must complete this task. I'm about to go home for the New Year. I don't want any more troubles!"
At night, when all was silent, Xia Lin quietly put on his clothes and used the cheat given by the system, a reward for completing the task in the previous world - a prop that could completely conceal his aura. But it had a time limit. It could only be used for a total of 150 minutes, and one minute would be deducted for each minute of use. Xia Lin cherished it very much.
With this prop, even if his master, Jiang Yun, was much more skilled in martial arts and had much sharper hearing than him, he still couldn't detect Xia Lin's aura.
Xia Lin came to Jiang Yun's room and patiently waited. "I'd like to see what secret you're hiding by not letting me sleep with you tonight!"
After waiting for nearly half an hour, there was no sound from Jiang Yun's room, but the light inside didn't go out. So Xia Lin was sure that Jiang Yun must be waiting for someone.
He couldn't leave. He had to wait. But he felt so bad about using up the prop. Nearly 60 minutes of it were almost gone.
Finally, Xia Lin heard footsteps. He quickly stood up from the ground. It was a tall man wearing a bamboo hat, so his face couldn't be seen.
Thanks to the cheat prop Xia Lin was using, he was like air to this man. So the man knocked on the door rhythmically right in front of Xia Lin.
Soon, Jiang Yun opened the door and let the man in. Xia Lin also slipped in at the right moment.
Jiang Yun sat in front of the table, and the man in the bamboo hat knelt on one knee in front of him. As for Xia Lin, he simply stood behind the man so that he could clearly see Jiang Yun's expression.
"Master, your subordinate has something important to report."
Hearing this address, Xia Lin was stunned. Wasn't Jiang Yun the sect leader? Why did the title "Master" sound a bit strange?
"Speak." Jiang Yun looked at the man in the bamboo hat with such coldness. There was no trace of warmth in his eyes, as if the man was just a useful tool to him!
The man in the bamboo hat was extremely respectful to Jiang Yun. "Master, the eight major sects, including the Shu Sect and the Beggar Clan, are preparing to jointly attack our Demon Cult!"
The Demon Cult! Xia Lin covered his mouth to stop himself from crying out. Oh my god! What did "our Demon Cult" mean? Did it mean that Jiang Yun was also a member of the Demon Cult?
"Master, please give us your instructions!" The man knelt on both knees and piously kowtowed to Jiang Yun.
Goodness me! Master! Jiang Yun was the leader of the Demon Cult. No wonder the initial dark - side value of 78 wasn't fake. The leader of the top sect also had another identity as the leader of the Demon Cult. If this news got out, the whole martial arts world would be in an uproar. Of course, Xia Lin would never reveal a single word of this. He would protect his master's secret well and help his master turn over a new leaf.
Jiang Yun sneered. "The so - called eight major sects just sound good. These so - called decent sects have been getting weaker year by year. Moreover, they're just cooperating on the surface and won't send out their elite disciples. So there's no need to worry. Just kill them all. They're an eyesore anyway."
"Yes, Master."
