Feng Muchuan pursed his lips with a bitter smile and continued, "It's all because of my lack of cultivation and my lack of strength, so I had to resort to this last resort. Wei Wuhen's power in the Night Demon Clan is too strong, so I had to pretend to surrender and deceive his trust. Only in this way can I better protect the Demon Lord."

"So that's how it is..." After hearing Feng Muchuan's words, Qiye quickly let go of his hand and said apologetically, "Muchuan, I'm so sorry, I wronged you just now."

"It's okay." Feng Muchuan waved his hand, and then brought the half-spilled medicine to Ye Guyun, "Demon Lord, this is all the medicine left. Drink it while it's hot. I'll boil a new bowl for you later."

"Yeah, okay." Ye Guyun took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Muchuan, why did my father become like this? What has he experienced over the years?" Qiye looked at Feng Muchuan and asked in a deep voice.

"Alas, this is a long story." Feng Muchuan sighed softly, "Since the queen passed away, the Demon Lord has been immersed in the grief of losing his beloved wife and cannot extricate himself. However, Wei Wuhen, as the great elder of the Night Demon Clan, not only did not share the burden with the Demon Lord, but instead began to covet the position of the Demon Lord's clan leader. Over the years, he secretly trained a large number of people and wanted to seize power and usurp the throne.

Originally, the Demon Lord could suppress him in terms of cultivation, but ever since Wei Wuhen secretly poisoned the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord's health has deteriorated day by day, and even his cultivation has completely dissipated."

At this point, Feng Muchuan's eyes flashed with resentment, "Under the current situation, the only way for the Demon Lord to survive safely is to make Wei Wuhen feel that the Demon Lord's existence will not threaten him. Otherwise, with Wei Wuhen's temper, he will never let the Demon Lord go!"

After hearing Feng Muchuan's words, Qiye clenched his fists immediately, "This Wei Wuhen, how dare he treat my father like this, I will never let him go!!!"

"Xiao Qi, don't be impulsive about this matter!" Ye Guyun said hurriedly, "Wei Wuhen's power has already spread throughout the Night Demon Clan. It is too dangerous for you to deal with him alone."

"No matter how dangerous it is, I can't let him threaten you like this!" Qiye gritted his teeth and said, "I can't swallow this!!"

"Young master, you still have subordinates. Just tell me what you need them to do! I am willing to go through fire and water, and even die for you!" Feng Muchuan bowed and clasped his fists, saying with a firm look.

Qiye heard this and hurried forward to help him up, "Muchuan, don't call yourself a subordinate in front of me. You are my master's son. According to seniority, I should call you brother."

Hearing the word "brother", Feng Muchuan was slightly stunned, and then he showed a relieved smile, "Young Master, I apologize for my previous offense. I hope you will forgive me. The reason why I said so many harsh words to you and father was just to prevent Wei Wuhen from noticing anything. In fact, I have been looking for an opportunity to explain this matter to you and father."

"You don't have to explain anything, Brother Muchuan. You have worked hard to take care of my father all these years. If my master knew about this, he would be very happy." Qiye patted Feng Muchuan's shoulder and said with a smile.

Feng Muchuan nodded, "Well, I will go to visit him later."

That day, the three of them chatted for a long time in the hall until Fu Feng's figure appeared outside the hall again.

"Qi Ye, I saw with my spiritual power that Wei Wuhen is leading people towards the deserted palace where we were just now. I'm worried that he will do something bad to your master, so you'd better hurry back." Fu Feng said in a deep voice.

"What did you say?!" Hearing this, Qiye's expression suddenly changed, "This Wei Wuhen, what on earth does he want to do to my master?!"

"His target is not your master, but you."

"Me?" Qiye was stunned, "Why is this?"

"Wei Ziqing died in the inn last night. After Wei Wuhen found out about this, he pointed all the blame at you." Fu Feng explained calmly.

"What? Wei Ziqing is dead?!" Qiye opened his eyes wide in shock, with an expression of disbelief, "What happened last night? Why did he suddenly die?"

"He was rude and intended to hurt people. Don't you think such a person deserves to die?" Fu Feng snorted coldly and said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Qiye fell silent.

He suddenly understood why Wei Ziqing did not show up early in the morning.

He also suddenly understood what was going on with those men in black who appeared in the inn.

It turned out that Wei Wuhen and Wei Ziqing had already wanted to kill them.

After a long while, Qiye hesitated and asked, "Master Yueze, could it be that Wei Ziqing was dealt with by you?"

Before Fu Feng could speak, Ye Guyun interrupted him directly, "Xiao Qi, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!! Go back to your master quickly, he needs you now!"

"Father, I..."

"Mr. Yue Ze has his reasons for making the decisions he makes. How can you just ask about them casually?!" Ye Guyun said sternly.

"Okay, I understand." Qi Ye nodded slightly. He originally had a lot of questions to ask Fu Feng, but after being interrupted by Ye Guyun, he had to shut up and stop asking.

However, there was one thing that Qiye was more certain of, that is, Fu Feng's identity was definitely not ordinary, and Ye Guyun knew him very well.

"Brother Muchuan, you stay here and continue to take care of my father. I will go back to find my master!" Qiye turned and said to Feng Muchuan.

"Well, go ahead and don't worry. I will take good care of the Demon Lord and wait for you to come back." Feng Muchuan agreed seriously.

Qiye nodded, and then turned his gaze to Ye Guyun: "Father, you should take a good rest first. When I find Master, I will bring him to see you."

"Well, go ahead." Ye Guyun nodded.

"Take care of yourself." Qiye looked at his father deeply again, then turned around and left in a hurry.

Seeing Qiye walking away, Fufeng glanced at Ye Guyun with his peripheral vision. After a moment's silence, he spoke: "Ye Guyun, this matter is a test for your Night Demon Clan. If Qiye can handle the whole matter properly, I will consider appointing him as the next Night Demon Clan Chief. But if he can't handle it well, then I will have to choose someone else for the position of Night Demon Clan Chief. After all, in my heart, you are no longer qualified for this honorable position."

"Yes." Hearing Fu Feng's words, Ye Guyun lowered his head, his face full of guilt: "Your Majesty, I have betrayed your trust, and I deserve to die!!"

Fu Feng did not respond and his figure disappeared into the hall.
