Chapter 156: Long Sihai's Warning

The Yamamoto Group actually intended to cooperate with Wu Xingyan. Not only did they want to retake control of the Dark Divine Temple, but they also planned to eradicate the Jiangnan Dragon family. Such ambition was truly staggering!

Whenever anything involved Wu Xingyan, Chu Tian would never lower his guard.

For now, Chu Tian decided to spare Yamamoto Wu’s life temporarily. It would not be too late to deal with him once he tracked down Wu Xingyan’s whereabouts.

With that thought in mind, Chu Tian quietly retreated.

He left without attracting anyone's attention, as if he had never appeared at all!

...

One hour later, at the Dragon family estate.

After leaving the club, Chu Tian returned to the Dragon residence once again.

"Mr. Chu, you're finally back."

Dragon Jianfei had been waiting for a long time. The moment he caught sight of Chu Tian, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Is something the matter?"

Chu Tian asked, somewhat surprised. He could not understand why Dragon Jianfei would deliberately wait for him at such a late hour.

"My father is waiting for you in the backyard and wants to have a chat."

Dragon Jianfei gave a light chuckle and said nothing more.

Hearing this, Chu Tian nodded.

Since Dragon Sihai had matters to discuss with him, and Chu Tian likewise needed to speak with Dragon Sihai—naturally concerning the plan involving the Black Dragon Society—it was fitting.

The impending collaboration between the Black Dragon Society and Wu Xingyan would pose an even greater threat to his seven senior sisters, potentially even a devastating blow.

Until Wu Xingyan was eliminated, his seven senior sisters would never know peace!

Given that Wu Xingyan had recently kidnapped Dragon Tianjiao, and Dragon Sihai doted on his granddaughter so deeply, he surely would not sit by and do nothing.

With these thoughts, Chu Tian followed Dragon Jianfei’s lead straight to the backyard of the estate.

"I'll take my leave now. You and my father can chat at your leisure."

As soon as they reached the backyard, Dragon Jianfei voluntarily took his leave.

In the vast backyard, only Chu Tian and Dragon Sihai remained.

The two had met very few times—only twice so far—yet a multitude of misunderstandings and ironic conflicts had transpired between them.

"Chu Tian, do you know why the old man asked you to come here?"

Dragon Sihai spoke first, throwing out a direct question.

Chu Tian shook his head in response.

Dragon Sihai did not beat around the bush.

"Let me ask you, has the demonic arts within your body acted up again? Do you still have the urge to devour people?"

Dragon Sihai spoke with blunt frankness, hitting upon Chu Tian's secret in his very first sentence.

"How do you know about this?"

Chu Tian’s expression froze in astonishment. The reason he had deliberately kept his distance from his seven senior sisters earlier was precisely because of the demonic arts raging within him.

If he had not left them, Chu Tian might have lost control at any given moment.

His rationality could have been overthrown by the demonic arts inside him, driven by which he might have committed acts that harmed his seven senior sisters.

"How could I not? Tianjiao told me about it, of course!"

"That girl was worried for your safety. The moment your demonic arts went out of control, she came and told me everything."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have suspected that your demonic nature was acting up and ended up abducting Tianjiao."

Dragon Sihai’s expression darkened as he took the initiative to explain the previous misunderstanding.

Hearing this, Chu Tian fell silent.

It was only after a long while that he spoke again.

"Ever since I arrived in Jinling, this sensation has completely vanished. I believe I have thoroughly suppressed the demonic arts within me!"

Chu Tian’s tone was solemn, holding nothing back regarding his physical condition.

"No, it's not that you suppressed the demonic arts yourself; Tianjiao helped you temporarily."

Dragon Sihai shook his head, offering a completely different answer.

"My Fifth Senior Sister helped me?"

Chu Tian’s expression faltered, failing to react for a moment.

"You absorbed Tianjiao’s yin essence—do you still intend to deny it?"

Dragon Sihai’s face darkened, his tone growing heavier.

"No, that's not what I meant by denial."

Chu Tian quickly shook his head. Since Dragon Sihai already knew about this, he naturally wouldn't try to deny it.

Seeing this, Dragon Sihai softened his tone slightly.

"Tianjiao, just like your other six senior sisters, possesses a pure yin constitution, which helps compensate for the deficiency of your Seven-Orificed Exquisite Heart."

"Whenever you harvest from one of your senior sisters, it can temporarily suppress the demonic nature within you."

"However, this merely treats the symptoms, not the root cause. To completely resolve the demonic nature inside you, you must make your Seven-Orificed Exquisite Heart whole."

"Otherwise, you will lose control sooner or later!"

Dragon Sihai spoke earnestly, sounding as though he were offering advice and guidance to Chu Tian.

Instantly, Chu Tian fell silent.

Even without Dragon Sihai’s reminder, he had felt this himself.

Ever since that night in the underground palace, he had indeed calmed down completely, no longer feeling any urge to devour his senior sisters.

Even though Chu Tian had not deliberately suppressed the demonic arts, they had not stirred up any further turbulence.

He had originally thought that he had managed to suppress the demonic arts himself!

But thinking about it carefully now, it was indeed very likely due to having absorbed the yin essence of his Fifth Senior Sister.

"Although Wu Xingyan harbors malicious intentions, he was right about one thing."

"He urged you to harvest from your seven senior sisters because that is indeed the only way to suppress the demonic nature inside you!"

Dragon Sihai sighed, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes whenever he mentioned Wu Xingyan.

"Elder Dragon, do you approve of me doing this?"

Chu Tian found it somewhat incredible.

However, Dragon Sihai’s next sentence shattered Chu Tian’s illusions.

"The old man does not approve!"

Dragon Sihai’s expression darkened, his tone intensifying.

"Then what did you mean just now?"

Chu Tian’s face fell as he asked again.

"I am giving you this warning purely out of consideration for the fact that you once saved Tianjiao. As for how you choose to decide your own path, that is your own affair—I cannot interfere with your decisions. But if you dare to harm Tianjiao, I will surely kill you!"

With a gloomy face, Dragon Sihai did not spare Chu Tian a single pleasant look.

"Elder Dragon, thank you for your advice!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian gave a slight, wry smile.

Then, his smile vanished, and his gaze turned incomparably serious.

"I also have something to tell you, and it concerns Wu Xingyan!"

"Speak!"

Hearing this, Dragon Sihai instantly put aside his displeasure, his expression turning grave.

Following that, Chu Tian recounted the plan of the Black Dragon Society.

"Hmph! These Japanese bastards dare to stretch their hands into Huaxia; they are utterly audacious!"

Dragon Sihai’s expression changed drastically, his voice filled with burning fury.

Chu Tian remained silent, waiting quietly by the side.

It was only after Dragon Sihai’s anger gradually subsided that his voice was heard once again.

"Rest assured, the old man will notify the Ancient Martial Arts Administration about this. We will never let those Japanese succeed."

Dragon Sihai softened his tone, a look of solemn determination flashing through his eyes.

"Very well. Then if there is nothing else, I will return to my room to rest."

Chu Tian nodded. He believed Dragon Sihai had a sense of proportion and naturally did not need any excessive reminders from him.

Afterward, Chu Tian turned and left.

Dragon Sihai watched Chu Tian’s receding back until his figure vanished around the corner, whereupon he suddenly let out a long, heavy sigh...
