A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 531: The Fateful Day.

At his words, Purple Death turned her head and looked at him with a completely deadpan expression.

The look in her dark purple eyes seemed to silently say:

Yet after a brief moment, she let that thought pass.

Everything that had happened was already in the past.

There was no point in dwelling on it any longer. What mattered now was the future... and the deal they had just made.

With a quiet sigh, she finally spoke.

"...So what do you want from me?"

Her voice was calm, though a faint trace of residual reluctance still lingered within it.

She had been trapped inside the Divine Brick since the very beginning.

Because of that, she had almost no clear understanding of the current situation in the outside world... nor of what exactly Li Feng intended to do with her now that she had become his Star Apostle.

Li Feng’s expression gradually turned serious.

The earlier teasing smile faded from his face as he looked at her with a calm, focused gaze.

"Tell me everything you know about the Fen Dynasty," he said. "And who hired your group."

He paused slightly, then added,

"Also... do you know what the ’Divine Envoy’ means?"

At those questions, Purple Death blinked.

For a moment, genuine surprise flashed across her eyes.

"...Oh. The Divine Envoy?"

She tilted her head slightly, as if the name had instantly triggered a memory.

"I know that guy. He’s the one who hired us, after all."

Li Feng’s eyes widened as he hurriedly asked, "Tell me everything you know!"

She fell silent for a brief moment, organizing her thoughts.

Then she continued in a clearer tone,

"From what I know, he’s the reason the Rain Pavilion was able to enter the Fen Dynasty so easily in the first place."

Her gaze met Li Feng’s as she spoke the next part.

"Not to mention... their cooperation and operations inside the Fen Dynasty started at least fifty years ago."

She paused, then added with a more serious expression,

"And from what I know... their operations aren’t only inside the capital or the palace. They’re covering the entire dynasty itself."

Li Feng’s brows furrowed deeply.

"...Do you mean the plague?"

Purple Death shook her head.

"I was only a recently promoted Gold Class assassin assigned to the operations inside the Fen Dynasty. Because of that, I wasn’t exactly clear on the full details. Even among us, most of it was kept top secret."

She looked at him again, her eyes carrying a faint, grave light.

"But I do know one thing. The plague... was only a cover."

Her voice lowered slightly.

"There was something deeper behind it. And they seemed to call it... Project: Divine Descent."

Li Feng went silent.

The continuous sound of the waterfall seemed to grow heavier as the weight of her words settled between them.

After a long moment, he finally spoke again, his voice low and serious.

"...Do you know the true identity of the one behind this project? Or even the Divine Envoy himself?"

Purple Death shook her head.

"I only know that one of them was Prime Minister Mu. As for the Divine Envoy... I only ever heard of him through internal reports. I never met him directly, so I can’t be certain of his true identity."

She paused.

Then her dark purple eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, as if a buried memory had just resurfaced.

"...But."

Li Feng’s gaze sharpened.

"But?"

Purple Death’s expression turned more complicated.

"I’m certain there is another one besides Prime Minister Mu and the Divine Envoy. I only found out about that person’s existence by accident."

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"...Is there any way to catch all of these people?"

Purple Death fell silent once more.

She stood there for a while, her brows faintly furrowed as she searched through her memories.

Then, as if suddenly recalling something important, she looked at Li Feng with a slight frown.

"...What day is it today?"

Li Feng raised an eyebrow at the unexpected question, but still answered her with the current date.

The moment she heard it, Purple Death’s expression changed.

A clear look of hesitation appeared on her face.

Li Feng immediately noticed it.

"...What’s wrong?"

Purple Death hesitated.

Her eyes flickered slightly as she carefully chose her words.

After a moment, she finally spoke in a quieter voice.

"...Based on the last report I saw, today should be the so-called day of the Divine Descent."

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed at once.

The atmosphere around him instantly grew heavier.

But Purple Death wasn’t finished.

She looked at him with a faint trace of hesitation still lingering on her face, then continued,

"...And from what I know, the last message also said that if we wanted to get a good view of it... they told us to come to a certain location."

Li Feng’s gaze sharpened further.

"Where?"

Purple Death did not answer immediately.

Instead, she raised one hand and used her spiritual energy to draw a set of coordinates in the air between them.

The glowing markings hovered for a moment before slowly fading.

Li Feng stared at them.

A clear look of surprise flashed through his eyes.

Those coordinates... were near the outer wall of the imperial palace.

Just as Li Feng was about to speak again—

He suddenly looked up.

A sharp, bone-chilling coldness had abruptly spread through the Divine Brick space.

His expression changed at once.

Beside him, Purple Death also frowned slightly.

She subconsciously rubbed her arms as a faint shiver ran through her body.

"...So cold," she murmured.

She turned her head, intending to ask Li Feng about it—

But the space beside her was already empty.

He had vanished without a sound.

At the same time, atop the Divine Vitalis Soul Tree.

Li Feng’s figure appeared in a hurry, his expression darkening as he recognized that familiar, divine cold aura.

In front of the wooden house stood a massive block of transparent ice.

A dark palm imprint was clearly embedded in its surface, and encased within the ice was Yue Lan.

She was supporting Lan Suyao, whose face had already turned pale from the chaotic energy running rampant through her body after her breakthrough was forcibly interrupted.

The ice suddenly shattered.

Yue Lan staggered slightly as the fragments scattered, then immediately noticed Li Feng’s arrival.

Her golden eyes filled with urgency as she called out,

"Li Feng! Someone launched a sneak attack on us...! Please go and help Yue Bing!"
