CHAPTER 67: CHAPTER 30 SHAMELESS JIN RENFENG, DOMINEERING RONGRONG (THREE UPDATES) - 1

"Therefore, whether it be the One Qi Daoist Alliance, the Southern Country, or the Northern Mountain Empire, all of you exist as allied states. You can become Elders and discuss the future development strategies for the Human-Demon Fishes together."

"Your internal matters will not be interfered with by the Divine Church."

"Of course, the premise is that you must not violate the core tenets of the Divine Church!"

With Tushan Rongrong’s words, both the One Qi Daoist Alliance and the various nations of the Demon Race felt relieved; their last concerns dissolved. Although they would be somewhat restrained compared to before, having independence was already quite good.

"Thank you, Divine Envoy, for the clarification. Divine Fire Manor is willing to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect," Dongfang Duyue stated directly.

Since the trend was unstoppable, he might as well be the first to take the plunge.

This old fox! the Family Head, Wang Quan Family, cursed inwardly. At the same time, he couldn’t help admiring Dongfang Duyue’s decisiveness.

He then spoke up, "Divine Envoy, the Wang Quan Family is willing to join the Divine Church."

"The Yang Family is willing..."

Following Divine Fire Manor and the Wang Quan Family’s decision to join, other World Houses spoke up one after another. At this moment, they had no other choice. If everyone else joined and they didn’t, they would definitely be remembered. If they were marked down for this, what would they do if things were made difficult for them later?

"The Southern Country is willing to join the Divine Church."

"The Northern Mountain Empire is willing..."

Huandu Qingtian, the Northern Mountain Demon Emperor, and other Demon Race forces also spoke up one after another. Since the Divine Envoy was a Tushan Fox Demon, they, as part of the Demon Race, had a certain advantage and naturally wouldn’t oppose. Besides, not joining the Divine Church would surely lead to exclusion later on, and life would become difficult. Moreover, their subordinates wouldn’t agree to them refusing. After all, praying to receive divine grace was a temptation—who could refuse?

"Thank you all for your trust. I hope that in the future, we can work together with one heart for the glory of our God, for the harmonious development of the Human-Demon Fishes, and strive to make the world a better place!"

Seeing everyone joining the Divine Church, Tushan Rongrong revealed a radiant smile on her delicate face. She then turned her gaze to Dongfang Duyue and said, "Master Dongfang, Sister Cui Yuling entrusted me with something before her sacrifice, and I’ll need to trouble you with it."

"Divine Envoy, what matter is it?"

Dongfang Duyue’s heart stirred. He hadn’t expected Tushan Rongrong to seek him out specifically. With Tushan’s current strength, what else could require his help?

The powerful figures from the major World Houses of the One Qi Daoist Alliance, the Southern Country, the Northern Mountain Empire, and others all looked curiously at Tushan Rongrong and Dongfang Duyue.

"This matter concerns your disciple, Jin Renfeng."

Tushan Rongrong’s voice struck Jin Renfeng like a bolt from the blue, exploding in his mind. His complexion suddenly turned unnatural as a sense of panic and unease surged within him.

Could it be about Cuiyu Xiaotan?

"Jin Renfeng?"

Everyone’s curiosity intensified as they turned their attention to this leading disciple of Divine Fire Manor. Jin Renfeng held a considerable reputation among the younger generation of the Human Race. Along with Wang Quan Baye, he was touted as one of the "dual prodigies" of the younger generation in the One Qi Daoist Alliance.

"Divine Envoy, what exactly is the matter? What does it have to do with my disciple?" Not only was Dongfang Duyue puzzled, but everyone else was also quite confused.

"You’ll understand after watching a video."

Tushan Rongrong waved her delicate hand, and her formidable demonic power swept out, forming a massive screen of light in the sky. Scene after scene appeared on it.

It showed Jin Renfeng coveting the Dongfang Spirit Blood, entrapping Cuiyu Xiaotan of the Leech Demon Clan to obtain their clan’s blood exchange secret technique. After acquiring the technique, Jin Renfeng killed Cuiyu Xiaotan. He then used the blood exchange secret technique to drain the Spirit Blood from his master, Dongfang Duyue, thereby mastering the Demon-slaying Pure Sunfire and earning the reputation as the "Golden-Faced Flame God." At the same time, he also lusted after the Dongfang sisters, planning to keep them as his captives to breed powerful descendants for him.

"Master, I’ve been wronged! Heavens and earth as my witness, I absolutely harbored no thoughts of acquiring the blood exchange technique to harm you!" Jin Renfeng’s face paled as he knelt before Dongfang Duyue, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded, "I have no relationship with Cuiyu Xiaotan; her affection for me was one-sided. I didn’t reciprocate, so she became spiteful from unrequited love and wanted revenge on me! Divine Envoy, my master has already agreed to join the Divine Church. Why are you using this opportunity to suppress Divine Fire Manor?"

Jin Renfeng retorted, attempting to drive a wedge by exploiting the strained relations between humans and demons. He framed the situation as Tushan oppressing Divine Fire Manor and the Human Race forces.

"Jin Renfeng, I never knew you were such a person!" Cuiyu Xiaotan came forward, her eyes brimming with tears, utterly heartbroken. "The Clan Leader and others warned me that you had ulterior motives, that you coveted our clan’s blood exchange secret technique. I always believed you loved me, but I never imagined you..."

"Cuiyu Xiaotan, I beg you, please let me go! I told you long ago that I only love my junior martial sister in this lifetime. If that has hurt your feelings, I am willing to apologize and make amends!"

"You... shameless..." Cuiyu Xiaotan pointed at Jin Renfeng, her hand trembling. She was utterly heartbroken, regretting she had ever fallen for such a disgraceful man, such a hypocrite.

"Sister Muyuan, who do you think is telling the truth?" Wang Quan Zuirao watched the two bicker with great interest and asked Qing Muyuan.

"Cuiyu Xiaotan doesn’t seem to be acting. Besides, Tushan Rongrong wouldn’t choose this crucial moment to deliberately suppress Divine Fire Manor—it’s not beneficial for establishing the Hongmeng Divine Sect!" Qing Muyuan didn’t state it outright, but her implication was clear: Jin Renfeng was lying.

"Quite so!" Three Insight Divine Monarch Yang Yitan nodded. "Jin Renfeng’s excuse is plausible, but the guilt and panic he can’t fully conceal give him away. He is lying!"

"The Pure Sunfire of the Dongfang Spirit Clan is renowned far and wide, but mastering it requires the Dongfang family’s Spirit Blood. It’s not surprising Jin Renfeng harbored ill intentions!" Li Zizai remarked indifferently. The allure of the Dongfang Spirit Blood and the Dongfang sisters was nearly irresistible to any cultivator, providing a clear motive for Jin Renfeng.

Jin Renfeng’s acting skills, while decent, couldn’t deceive the scrutinizing eyes of the powerful individuals from both the Human Race and Demon Race present.

"Alright, Jin Renfeng, your performance can end now!" Tushan Rongrong had no interest in bickering with Jin Renfeng. If it weren’t for the sake of peace between the Human-Demon Fishes, she could have slapped Jin Renfeng to death without needing any reason. By providing a reason now, she had given Dongfang Duyue sufficient face.

"Master Dongfang, will you cleanse your own house, or shall I do it for you?" Tushan Rongrong asked, looking at Dongfang Duyue.

"Master, you must believe me! I really didn’t intend to harm you, and I truly love my junior martial sister! This is all Tushan’s retaliation!" Jin Renfeng pleaded tearfully, trying to play the sympathy card.

"Divine Envoy, although Jin Renfeng harbored ill intentions, he hasn’t acted on them yet. Could you spare his life?" Seeing Jin Renfeng’s continuous pleading, Dongfang Duyue found he couldn’t bear to kill the man who had been his disciple for so many years.

"Master Dongfang, surely you know the story of the farmer and the snake?" Tushan Rongrong shook her head. "Besides, this is something Sister Cui Yuling entrusted to me before her sacrifice. Jin Renfeng must die. You all saw earlier that after Sister Cui Yuling made her sacrifice, she ascended to God’s kingdom. The Divine Envoys who descended to our world were previously individuals from other worlds who were sacrificed and then ascended. Sister Cui Yuling might even descend to our world again in the future..."

"What? The previous Divine Envoys were individuals from other worlds who were sacrificed and then ascended?"

The powerful figures from both the Human Race and Demon Race were shocked. It seemed those sacrificed individuals held a certain status in God’s kingdom and could even descend from the Divine Realm. This was absolutely monumental news for them. Many were now even more tempted, almost eager to offer themselves as sacrifices immediately.

Previously, they hadn’t known what would become of them after being sacrificed—would they be treated as slaves? So, even though they could gain Nature and a significant boost to their Cultivation Level through sacrifice, they still harbored some worries. But now, knowing they could become Divine Envoys after the sacrifice—what an immense fortune and opportunity this was!

"Divine Envoy, please, what are the requirements for the sacrifice? Can we ascend to serve our God?" one of the experts couldn’t help but ask.

"The one to be sacrificed must be a pure and flawless Maiden of Heavenly Fate or a Maiden of Great Destiny who embodies the great destiny of an entire realm. Only then is she qualified to be offered to our God!"

Tushan Rongrong’s words disappointed ninety-nine percent of those present; they simply weren’t qualified.

"Master Dongfang, your beloved daughter is indeed a Maiden of Great Destiny. If you are willing, she can be offered as a sacrifice to our God during the next ritual, Ascending God Country," Tushan Rongrong said.

As her words fell, envious and jealous gazes immediately turned towards Dongfang Huaizhu.

Dongfang Huaizhu’s pretty face blushed. So I’m a Maiden of Great Destiny... But to be sacrificed to the Upper God, to serve the Upper God in the heavens... Her heart leaped like a startled deer. Am I willing, or am I *willing*?

"Divine Envoy, how do we determine if one is a Maiden of Heavenly Fate or a Maiden of Great Destiny?" the Family Head, Wang Quan Family, couldn’t wait to ask.

If Dongfang Duyue sacrifices his daughter, he’ll have connections in God’s kingdom! I absolutely cannot fall behind!

"That’s not something you can determine; only I know for now," Tushan Rongrong said.

I’m relying on my knowledge of the plot to judge, she thought. Of course, if one didn’t know the plot, cultivating Divine Skills to observe destinies would also work. However, such Divine Skills are not only difficult to cultivate but also incredibly rare. Even Tushan doesn’t possess them.

「Meanwhile.」

Jin Renfeng felt terror and panic welling up inside him. No, I must flee! Dongfang Duyue definitely can’t protect me; he might even kill me to appease them!

At that thought, seeing everyone’s attention drawn to the matter of sacrifice, a fierce light flashed in Jin Renfeng’s eyes, and he suddenly burst into action. He pounced towards Dongfang Huaizhu like a falcon diving for its prey.

Just fleeing won’t be enough, he knew. Only by taking a hostage will I have a chance of survival!

"How dare you!" Dongfang Duyue snapped to his senses, exploding with rage.

I never expected Jin Renfeng to attack Huaizhu! Such treacherous ambition! Unfortunately, Jin Renfeng was too close to Dongfang Huaizhu, and Dongfang Duyue was too far away to intervene in time.

I’ve already obtained the blood exchange secret technique! Once I extract Junior Sister’s Spirit Blood, I’ll be able to control the Demon-slaying Pure Sunfire! With my power soaring, surely there’s a place for me in this vast world! Jin Renfeng thought exultantly as Dongfang Huaizhu was nearly within his grasp.

WHIR.

However, just as his hand was an inch from Dongfang Huaizhu’s slender, pale neck, the space around them solidified. That single inch instantly became an insurmountable chasm; he couldn’t cross it no matter how he tried. Despair filled his eyes, and terror gripped his heart. No! I refuse to accept this!

"Die!"

Tushan Rongrong’s frosty voice sounded, and Jin Renfeng’s body, without any warning, crumbled into fine dust before vanishing from the world.

HISS!

The powerful figures from both the Human Race and Demon Race widened their eyes, their minds reeling in shock.

Is this the strength of a hundred-thousand-year Cultivation Level? Truly terrifying!

They hadn’t even reacted, nor had they sensed any fluctuation of demonic power, yet Jin Renfeng had been obliterated into dust. Clearly, Tushan Rongrong’s strength had reached a level beyond their comprehension. At that moment, their gazes towards Tushan Rongrong were filled with profound reverence and awe.
