Destiny is ashes

Chapter 238: Demon Cult Defector

After pointing out each other's true identity and purpose, the two smiled at each other.

But then, Ming Guangchen frowned and said, "You are indeed a smart demon sect kid...Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

After saying this, the Shenzang Zhenren opened his eyes.

As the golden six-yang magic power condensed into pupils, murderous auras like the rising sun locked onto An Jing, and the sunlight shining through the snow clouds and frost around him also exuded an indescribable sharpness, like a knife or a sword, sweeping across the boy's clothes and cutting them open.

However, as the blade rolled over the leather, there was no sound of cutting, which made the Master Shenzang exclaim lightly and praised, "Interesting."

"Your method of body training is quite advanced. What method did you exchange for?"

"I am gifted." Facing the power of Shenzang, An Jing remained calm and smoothed out the torn clothes a little: "If the real person just wanted to tell this joke and force me to change clothes, there is no need."

"As for exchange? What does that mean? To be honest, I didn't understand the three words 'Jinyuantian' just now."

"Ok?"

Even with Ming Guangchen's concentration, his expression changed slightly. He looked at An Jing and said in disbelief, "You don't know about Jinyuantian? Didn't you exchange it?"

"No... Then why can you hear the three words 'Jinyuantian'?"

At this moment, An Jing could sense that Ming Guangchen released a murderous aura that was much heavier and more real than before.

What does this mean?
The murderous intent that Ming Guangchen released at first was real, and he really wanted to "kill" himself.

This is not surprising at all.

It's not just because he was born in the Demon Sect, but also because he was involved in the You Ruhui incident... No matter what kind of relationship King Jing has with this Shenzang Zhenren, there is absolutely no room for a defector from the Tianyi Demon Sect in their plan.

However, An Jing also knew that the other party would not really do anything to him.

In any case, You Ruhui was watching from behind. If Ming Guangchen was really a friend of King Jing, he would at least consider the thoughts of King Jing's daughter.

But now, unlike the initial gentle temptation, Ming Guangchen really had the intention to kill in an instant.

But the killing intent came and went quickly. Ming Guangchen frowned and thought: "Since you can remember these three words, it proves that you do have a connection with Jin Yuantian... Hmm, am I your connection? Or is it in the future?"

"never mind."

He shook his head: "Anyway, you will understand it in the future."

"Master, if you wanted to kill me, you would have had the chance long ago."

Feeling that Ming Guangchen's attitude had become friendlier than at first, An Jing was puzzled but didn't care. He just looked at him calmly: "You did think about killing me, but since you didn't do it then... it's even more impossible now."

The spiritual light was dazzling, and his eyes also glowed with spiritual light, spontaneously transforming into true spiritual pupils to look at him: "Now, I want to ask a question."

"Why on earth did you want to kill me?"

"It's only been a few days, and you even have spiritual pupils... It's really not Jinyuantian?" Ming Guangchen looked at An Jing seriously, and he nodded slightly to apologize: "Forgive me, it's just some misunderstandings. As for Jinyuantian, you don't need to think about it, you will understand later.

“As for testing you, generally speaking, I just wanted to see what you are like. I can only say that you are better than I thought.

"I'm not trying to defend myself. You have to know that among the apostates of the Heaven's Will Demon Cult, three out of ten are spies, three out of ten are secret agents, and three out of ten will eventually return to the Demon Cult."

"Only one in ten truly wants to leave. This does not mean that these defectors are good people. After escaping the cult, they will still commit heinous crimes and wreak havoc on the local area."

Ming Guangchen shook his head and said, "The 'great achievements' made by the defectors of the Demon Cult throughout the ages really make me cautious, and the fact that they will all eventually return to the Demon Cult makes me feel that this seems to be a ritual of 'leaving and returning'."

"Not to mention, you escaped just in time, and happened to be with that old lady..."

——Ah? Are all the demon cult defectors I met before like this? Ming Guangchen's test did not surprise An Jing much. He had expected it and even felt that the other party was too gentle.

What really made him lose control of his expression was the fine tradition of the Demon Cult: "I was wondering why no one, including the Deputy Medicine Envoy, had any reaction to my defection. Even Aunt Huai looked as if she was used to it..."

"It seems that all my 'predecessors' are of this kind? Your Demon Sect's fine traditions are really..."

As for Jinyuantian, An Jing could roughly guess from Fuxie's words that it should be an organization related to "Taixu Shuttle"?

Ming Guangchen had no reason to lie to himself. Since he said that he would know in the future, there was no need to rush.

"But you are different." Just when An Jing suddenly realized it, Ming Guangchen shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully: "The first time I noticed you was when you tortured and killed Captain Chen."

"At that time, I felt that even if the other party was a real member of the Demon Cult, it was definitely not a good thing to kill him with your methods, especially since it looked like a personal vendetta, pure Demon Cult mentality."

"But later, when I heard that you killed the demon soldiers of the Demon Cult and rescued many kidnapped people, I felt that I was wrong before. Maybe you didn't act out of personal grudge."

"Because I was quite interested in you, I carefully observed you for a while... It was not until then that I realized that you were the 'little leader' who escaped from Xuanming Manor."

"An Jing..."

Reciting the name, Ming Guangchen said in a deep voice: "I don't doubt your character. According to what those rescued children of disaster said, and what I saw with my own eyes in Kanming City, I can be sure that you are different from those 'defectors' whose minds have long been distorted."

"I was a little curious at the time. Where did you get the strength to escape from Xuanming Manor?"

"But now, I just want to know what your future plans are after being dragged into the Great Chen Emperor Blood Rebellion."

"Of course I need to say that. Find your parents."

An Jing replied somewhat confusedly: "Now that You Ruhui has met you, she will definitely follow the plan left by her father, King Jing."

"You guys should divert the attention of Dachen, the Demon Cult, and other messy forces as soon as possible, so that I can return to the vast sea by myself as soon as possible."

——Unlike You Ruhui, my parents are still alive. I have to find them and settle them down before I can think about my future plans, right?

An Jing has some emotional intelligence and would not actually say the above sentence, but the meaning is already very clear.

Ming Guangchen remained silent.

"You are...really different."

After a long while, the Shenzang Zhenren shook his head and sighed, and said with emotion: "Your thinking is too normal. You are simply a good boy who is upright, respects kindness, and hates hatred."

"That's why it's not normal - after going through so much, including the Frost Tribulation and the Heaven's Will Demon Sect, you still value life so much and haven't forgotten your relatives and friends... It's really rare."

"Excuse me for being blunt, but with a fate like yours, there is a lot of bad luck anyway. Generally speaking... your parents' situation may not be very good."

"Yeah." An Jing didn't care about Ming Guangchen's direct words. He nodded and said, "I know. Mars is in the heart. It's not surprising that both parents died."

"My father is most likely dead, but my mother is probably not dead yet. I have to go find her."

He said calmly, as if it was a matter of course: "I promised."

After saying this, An Jing changed the subject. He had been questioned by Ming Guangchen before, so this time he also had questions: "Then again, the matter of wiping out Xuanming Manor should not be done by a Chenli master named Shenzang... Master Xuanjing, can I know who hired you to come here?"

This was a topic that shouldn't be discussed, but Ming Guangchen looked at An Jing, and thinking of the relationship between An Jing and Gu Yeqi and others, he nodded and said, "Gu family."

"Hanhai Gu family."
