Ways to handle this little demon

Chapter 117 - Ren Haitao, The Follower Of Lord Zhang

To explain the story of how Wang Li Jie's parents ended up finding out his condition this suddenly, let's go back to two hours ago and figure it out..... 

Due to the sudden appearance of demonic puppets in lotus village, almost all of Jianyu sect disciples went down the mountain with five elders to lead them.

It had only been a month since the previous fire incident happened in butterfly village. Now, there came another disaster. This year seemed to be one full of misfortunes and people's sufferings.

Those who didn't go down the mountain and left to guard the sect couldn't stay reassured either. This kind of incident had never happened around emerald jade mountain before. Due to the powerful barrier, most of the time, demons and evil spirits could barely give inhabitants here any troubles.

According to elders' orders, some of head disciples had gone to the barrier and given it a check already. There's nothing wrong with the barrier. It was working at its full capacity just like usual. Even so, since hundreds of puppets showed up in the village, at least one demon had to be in the village already to summon these evil beings. This showed that a demon had been able to pass through the barrier without letting any of the sect members know. 

Standing in front of a giant crystal mirror set in the main hall of Jianyu Sect were immortal Wang, his mistress and Ren Haitao. The reflection in the giant mirror was not them but the panorama of lotus village under the danger of evil puppets. 

Inspecting the formation of several crimson arrays on the village streets where puppets were constantly coming out, Ren Haitao made a conclusion.

"No doubt...these kinds of arrays are Ye Hu's tricks. It seems like your territory had been invaded by He Tengfei's men, brother Wang...."

Without giving any response, immortal Wang continued to stare into the mirror. On his usually calm and indifferent face, there was a vague frown. Mild concern could be spotted in his usually tranquil eyes.

But mistress Wang was a different story. Hearing the name "He Tengfei" alone was enough to evoke her anxiety. She was shocked. The mistress found it hard to accept this reality. How many years had it been? How long had it been since that incident which traumatized her so horribly?

It had been a very, very long time already....But.....even after all these years, that crazy man was still after her child? How could she accept this brutal truth?

"No way....Haitao, don't talk nonsense without having any believable reasons. How do you know those arrays are Ye Hu's creations. Are you even sure of your own words? How can you tell it exactly?"

Glancing at the crystal mirror once again, Ren Haitao pursed his lips for a while with a solemn expression. Only after another minute, he finally gave a response. 

"You're right. I'm not that sure. Those arrays do resemble creations of infamous puppet general as well...But, since Demon lord Zhang had been slain, no body saw his puppet general either. Some are even telling the general was also slain along with its lord.

Okay....let's say that, that general is still alive. Then, how are you going to explain the reason? What grudge does that general hold against Jianyu Sect? What is he getting if he harmed this village? Don't tell me the mysterious hero who killed his master is from this sect. I won't believe it unless the dead Lord Zhang came alive and tell me by himself."

One might wonder since Zhang Long Wei was once the lord of the entire demon realm, could Ren Haitao be considered an inferior of his? Of course, the answer to this question would be a yes.

Since Zhang Long Wei became the lord of demon realm, just like any other demonic clans, his Lang Clan had to pay tributes to him regularly. Every time that lord wanna do something crazy or find fun by doing all sorts of brutal things in human realm, just like any other clans, their clan also had to give high- level Lang demons as tributes for Lord Zhang's troops as well. 

When Zhang Long Wei was still alive, his army was infamous for its formidable and brutal demoic power. Once got attacked by this lord's army, not even the imperial city of humans could defend. People called it ghost army due to its scary force and strength.

There were thousands of cities and towns in human realm which were destroyed to dust and debris by this ghost army. Some were brutally disintegrated to the point that no body could recognize anymore that such places were once inhabited by humans.

When Zhang Long wei was still alive, he was a pretty big shot in human realm. There's not even a day that lord was not the main topic of citizens' gossips because there's not even a day that lord didn't find troubles in human realm either. 

Now that he thought about it, it was such a shame that the infamous demon lord Zhang died early. Demons were especially united during the reign of Zhang Long Wei. If only that Lord could stay a bit longer for another decade, it's not impossible for demons to take over the realm of humans.

Ren Haitao was not the only one who thought like this though. Every other demonic clan's leaders who were loyal to lord Zhang held such a big hope like this as well. It was every demon's dream. For demons to take over the entire realm of humans.....this kind of thing had never been occurred even in legends. Even so, most of the demons didn't think this was impossible if it was with the leadership of Zhang Long Wei.

In fact, Ren Haitao was one of the most loyal followers of Zhang Long Wei too. But, the so-called esteemed Lord didn't even recognize him when they met at the border of Tian forest last time. Though Zhang Long Wei was said to have a good memory in other places, when it came to recognizing people's faces, his memory was as poor as that of a snail. 

Ren Haitao was busy, recalling about the great achievements of demon lord Zhang that he didn't even realize his sobbing sister besides. Immortal Wang tried to soothe his mistress. But unlike usual, he couldn't even find the right words to console her. 

Even the immortal himself couldn't guess the real culprit behind this disaster. No one else in his sect knew that Wang Li Jie, his niece and nephews from imperial city were behind the death of Demon Lord Zhang.

Immortal Wang couldn't say exactly this had nothing to do with Lord Zhang's puppet general. As an experienced elder and also someone who had confronted the prestigious puppet general a couple times before, immortal Wang also realized those arrays appearing in the crystal mirror did resemble that general's old tricks.

Both Ye Hu and the puppet general were possible suspects. It could be considered even fortunate if this disaster was just the doing of that puppet general. But if He Tengfei's subordinates were behind this, things were not going to end up smoothly.

Not only all the villages around emerald jade mountain but even Jianyu Sect would be in great danger. Immortal Wang couldn't tell anything for sure. But he had this very premonition that all of these had every thing to do with He Tengfei.....
