Chapter 1073 - 470: Cut from the Same Mold

Fang Yu understood.

Sunset City currently seems to be a battle for supremacy between two kings.

Once he, as the Believer, joins the third party, both kings will exert pressure on the third party, making resistance extraordinarily difficult.

"But I’ve already offended the Hai Family, so the Qingling Taoist Temple is the best choice?"

"Not yet." Ding Hui smiled, "As long as you spare that worthless creature’s life, it doesn’t count as offending the Hai Family. Whether it’s you or me, we’ve all underestimated the value of a Believer in Sunset City."

"So, you want me to join the Hai Family?"

"That’s the fastest way to get the information we want, unless you have other ideas? It’s not easy to extract oneself from the Qingling Taoist Temple. That guy ascended to the top of Sunset City with individual power, his strength is extraordinary. If we offend him, it’ll be difficult to leave. On the other hand, it’s much easier to extricate ourselves from the Hai Family."

Fang Yu fell into contemplation.

Honestly, he was quite interested in the Qingling Taoist Temple’s methods for learning the Believer’s abilities.

But as Ding Hui mentioned, the restrictions set by Daoist Ling were too rigid, almost binding him, and he couldn’t possibly stay forever in Sunset City.

"Actually... there’s another way."

Ding Hui seemed to have sensed Fang Yu’s interest in the Qingling Taoist Temple, suddenly winked.

"You can pretend to join the Qingling Taoist Temple, gain Daoist Ling’s true teaching, and then collude with external forces like the Hai Family and other Families to destroy the Qingling Taoist Temple. At that time, you can just walk away, taking all the benefits and acquire Qingling Taoist Temple’s resources to find information related to human traffickers."

Fang Yu listened and instinctively felt repulsed, frowning instantly.

"Isn’t that being a double agent? A traitor? An untrustworthy person?"

"A Believer isn’t purely human, it’s just like when you were undercover as a demon in Tianyuan Town, it’s just another round." Ding Hui induced him gradually.

From a standpoint of maximizing interests, this move is flawless.

But...

Fang Yu lowered his head, looking at the ground.

He couldn’t accept it in his heart.

He already knew this world was real, each person was a real entity, how could he commit such heinous acts?

Moreover, although Believers aren’t purely Martial Artists or purely human, they still belong to the human side.

In contrast, demons truly feed on humans, they’re purely alien races.

Going undercover with demons and betraying them, Fang Yu felt no guilt, just sorry for the Green Demon who trusted him, but wasn’t lenient towards other demons.

Yet betraying the Believer, deliberately going undercover to Daoist Ling and then selling him out, that’s infighting among the same species, and the method is too low and disgraceful. Daoist Ling hasn’t done anything harmful, it’s excessive to plot against him like this.

Furthermore, since Daoist Ling decided to take him as a disciple and even prepared to pass the Qingling Taoist Temple to him, he would surely have some contingency plans, it’s not something to betray easily, he might be forced to share fate with the Qingling Taoist Temple.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu looked up at Ding Hui and shook his head slightly.

"No! We’ll choose the Hai Family."

Seeing Fang Yu’s decision, Ding Hui’s lips curled slightly, noticed instantly by Fang Yu.

"You were testing me?!"

Ding Hui immediately turned around, blowing a guilty whistle.

"No way! Whether you choose a chicken or a dog, as your spouse I’ll follow your decisions."

This is undoubtedly true. Even if he agreed to that plan, Ding Hui would follow him, her sense of good and evil was faint, not exactly a traditional good person.

No! Her suggestion clearly indicated Ding Hui had that idea, she just let it go since he disagreed.

Fang Yu didn’t delve into it, regardless of Ding Hui’s character, she was absolutely loyal to him.

"So now, we’ll wait for Hai Family to recruit us."

"No, let’s first see how Hai Family responds. Additionally, the Qingling Taoist Temple issue isn’t entirely uncompromising. When we join Hai Family and the situation worsens for the Qingling Taoist Temple, I think they’ll be willing to make some compromises, giving us room to negotiate."

Fang Yu’s eyes brightened.

This is exactly the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish becomes! He understood! But...

"But if the situation worsens, we won’t be able to protect the continuation of Qingling Taoist Temple?"

Daoist Ling’s core demand is the Qingling Taoist Temple and the dominance in Sunset City, which is something he can’t ensure after joining the Hai Family.

"Fool! People change, when the situation worsens and the waves surge, people’s inner desires change as well. Qingling Taoist Temple is Daoist Ling’s lifetime effort, doesn’t he want to leave a successor? You’ve mentioned his erosion rate is high, in a life-or-death scenario all thoughts are about the aftermath. At the right time, when you appear before him, you naturally have the conditions for negotiation."

Sometimes, Fang Yu had to admit, although Ding Hui’s concept of good and evil is faint and she sometimes lacks principles, she has her unique understanding and perspective on development, always looking further ahead.

Fang Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Daoist Ling possesses a wild Spirit of moderate strength, along with the unique Believer ability, the Spirit Shield, that can be performed."
