Chapter 787: The Loneliness at the Top

Sun Zimei solemnly instructed, "This is our only chance to turn the tables. If you can secure Su Bai's support, then Shi Qingwu, Yi Feng, and even the entire Elder Council will be nothing to worry about."

"Because gaining Su Bai's support is equivalent to gaining the backing of the Tianba Sect and countless subordinate sects."

"Can you imagine the sheer power of such a force?"

Sun Zhonghuang's eyes lit up.

"You like Shi Qingwu, don't you?"

"Previously, our plan was just to have you marry Shi Qingwu and keep her occupied, preventing her from fully seizing power."

"But if you can secure Su Bai's support, it will be different. You can directly ascend to the position of sect leader, and Shi Qingwu will have no choice but to become your subordinate!"

At this point, Sun Zimei smirked, his heart filled with joy.

Sun Zhonghuang's eyes also sparkled, his heart racing with excitement.

"But Master, given Su Bai's status, there must be many people trying to curry favor with him. How can I gain the upper hand and secure his support before others?" Sun Zhonghuang asked.

Sun Zimei smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph, those fools won't be able to gain the upper hand. Someone of Su Bai's caliber isn't so easily swayed by flattery."

"Then Master, what do you suggest?" Sun Zhonghuang couldn't help but ask.

"With someone like him, the only way to win his support is to understand his desires and needs, and then offer them to him."

"And I've already made preparations for this."

Sun Zimei sneered, "During this time, I've investigated many things about Su Bai. I discovered that he urgently needs a large number of demon beast corpses."

"Demon beast corpses?"

Sun Zhonghuang was surprised.

"Yes, demon beast corpses."

Sun Zimei said confidently, "At first, he was frantically hunting the demon beasts in our sect's back mountain. Even our sect's Seven-Colored Black Crow couldn't escape his grasp."

"Later, he saved Wang Yue's elder brother, and the price for his help was Wang Yue offering up the Seven-Colored Treasure Infant!"

"A few days ago, there were frequent battle fluctuations in the back mountain again. Although I didn't go to check due to other matters, I'm sure he was hunting demon beasts again!"

"So I concluded..."

Sun Zimei said resolutely, "This Su Bai might be refining some kind of pill or creating some kind of medicinal catalyst. He needs a large number of demon beast corpses as materials, and the more precious the beast, the more useful it is to him!"

Sun Zhonghuang was filled with admiration.

He hadn't expected his master to uncover even this.

"So Master, you mean for me to start from this angle?" Sun Zhonghuang asked, but then frowned slightly, "But where can I find high-level, precious demon beast corpses?"

"I've already prepared for that!"

Sun Zimei waved his hand and said, "Go to the nest of the Flying Slaughter Beast at the foot of the mountain. Bring its corpse to Su Bai."

"What, Master?"

"The Flying Slaughter Beast?"

"Isn't that your contracted mount? You've already..." Sun Zhonghuang asked in shock.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child. Given our current situation, we have no choice but to go all in," Sun Zimei said with determination. "If we can't bear to part with this Flying Slaughter Beast, things might get even worse."

"And this Flying Slaughter Beast has a precious bloodline, extraordinary talent, and reached the True Immortal realm many years ago. Su Bai should be very satisfied with it. It can completely serve as your stepping stone."

"If we succeed, in the future, not just one Flying Slaughter Beast, but even ten or a hundred, will be just a wave of your hand!"

"Go!"

After giving his solemn instructions, Sun Zimei waved his hand.

"Alright, Master, don't worry."

Sun Zhonghuang's eyes were filled with tears as he said solemnly, "Your disciple will not disappoint you. I will definitely fulfill the important task you've entrusted to me."

"Good child, I believe in you."

"Go."

"But remember, if there's any news or progress, report back to me immediately!"

Sun Zimei solemnly entrusted him.

Sun Zhonghuang nodded solemnly, then left with a determined look in his eyes...

"Good child."

Seeing Sun Zhonghuang's determined expression, Sun Zimei's eyes filled with tears.

Over the years.

He hadn't misjudged this person.

If they succeeded this time, the master and disciple would be able to completely turn their fortunes around!

After leaving the Hundred Refinements Sect's prison, Sun Zhonghuang rushed to the Flying Slaughter Beast's nest without stopping.

...

At the same time.

In one of the Eight Realms, the Yue Realm.

Several figures flew out, cursing and complaining.

"Little Lingzi, tell me, did you do this on purpose?"

The leader was a black-robed man, holding a soul in his hand.

Even so, this soul was still firmly grasped in his hand.

"You were the one who told me that if I came to the Yue Realm, everyone would call me 'handsome.' So why are they calling me 'dumbass' instead?"

"Brother, brother, I really didn't lie to you!" Ling Wang raised his ethereal finger and said righteously, "If I lied, may my entire family die."

"Then tell me, why are they calling me 'dumbass'?" Lou Benwei asked, hands on his hips, cursing angrily.

Seeing this.

The dog quickly stepped forward, trying to smooth things over. "Brother, this really isn't Little Lingzi's fault. I think the problem lies with you, brother."

"Oh?"

Lou Benwei tilted his head.

"Brother, can't you see?"

"It's because of your aura!"

The dog spoke from the heart, his face full of sincerity. "Your aura of romance, boundless as the universe, evil and overwhelming, proud and aloof, strategizing like a master, towering and majestic, like the moonlight outside the window—it's impossible to hide! People are jealous of you, which is why they try to bring you down by calling you 'dumbass'!"

"Oh, is that really the case?"

Lou Benwei's spirits instantly lifted. His short legs, clad in skinny jeans and bean shoes, couldn't help but sway a little as he looked down and said, "Is this playboy's aura really that overwhelming?"

"Brother, you're really underestimating yourself."

The night breeze blew, and the clothes of the man beside him extended over thirty arms, all massaging Lou Benwei's shoulders. At the same time, he shook his head and said, "Brother, I know what I'm about to say might be out of line and might upset you, but I have to say it..."

"Brother, you really have no sense of your own awesomeness."

"Do you not know how handsome you are?"

"Your taste is so ahead of its time, don't you know that?"

"Your face, unparalleled throughout history, your unprecedented fashion sense, and the invincible aura that Dog Brother mentioned—whenever you appear anywhere, it's not just men who get jealous. Women get jealous too, jealous that they can't give birth to someone as handsome as you."

"Sigh..."

"The reason I, Ye Feng Centipede, follow you isn't because of how strong you are, brother. It's because of how much you attract me."

"Attraction, understand?"

"I've said my piece. In short, brother, you really have no sense of your own awesomeness. These words might sound harsh, but they come from the bottom of my heart. Brother, you can hit me or scold me if you want."

After saying this, the centipede lowered his head, looking as if he was ready to accept punishment.

"Centipede, don't think you've done anything wrong. On the contrary, I'm glad you had the courage to speak your mind!"

Lou Benwei patted Ye Feng's shoulder, feeling gratified. "Even though you said I have no sense of my own awesomeness, you're an honest person."

"I appreciate you!"

"Of course, and Qing, you understand me the most!"

Lou Benwei's praise immediately made the dog and Ye Feng beam with joy.

The milkman, standing to the side, rubbed his fingers and chuckled for a long time before saying, "Brother, I'm not good with words. I can only say one thing: Brother, you're the best, hehe!"

"Little Milkman, you're honest too."

Lou Benwei immediately praised him.

Then he remembered the soul in his hand and quickly put it down. "Of course, Little Lingzi is the same."

"This time, it was all my fault for misunderstanding Little Lingzi. It's all because I'm too much of a playboy, too handsome, and my aura is too strong, making people jealous!"

"Sigh..."

"It's lonely at the top!"

"Brother, we understand your loneliness. That's why we're here with you!"

The dog and the centipede immediately gathered around Lou Benwei.

Surrounded by everyone, Lou Benwei slightly raised his head, his gaze unconsciously drifting into the distance.

"It's time to go back and find my master..."
