Chapter 254: It seems to make sense

“Lord Emperor, spare my life!”

The man in the black robe flew out hundreds of miles. Seeing Gu Yang getting closer and closer, he was so terrified that his soul was scattered. He suddenly stopped and kneeled on the ground to beg for mercy.

Gu Yang stopped a thousand meters away from him, locked him with his Blade Intent. Finally, he confirmed that it seemed he had genuinely given up resistance. He couldn’t help but be somewhat speechless.

You are a mage of triple Mana strength, your power is even above mine. How can you be so cowardly?

We haven’t even started fighting yet, and you’re already begging for mercy.

Gu Yang had never encountered such a spineless warrior.

However, since the opponent had surrendered, he wasn’t in a rush to kill him. Instead, he could interrogate him for some details.

“Who are you?”

The person before him made him feel completely different from the other two from the Shen Family. His Mana was peculiar, unlike that of a human.

“I am a humble servant, Jin Feng. I have heard of your great reputation, my Lord. I did not mean to offend you. It was just an order from my master, and I could not resist. Please, spare my life.”

The robed man was kowtowing like pounding garlic.

From his appellations, it seemed he knew something about the situation.

Gu Yang said, “Take off your robe.”

The man in the black robe immediately took off his robe, revealing his true guise.

He was a very young-looking man with silver hair, quite handsome. But the cringing look in his eyes and his ingratiating smile made him seem a bit sleazy.

Gu Yang spoke, “Tell me, what does your master plan when she sent you to capture me?”

Jin Feng divulged everything he knew.

Finally, Gu Yang managed to learn something about the Three Sages Gate from him.

This man’s master is Saint Chaoyang, the eldest among the three sages. She had sent him to capture Gu Yang for a sacrifice.

Unfortunately, this creature’s knowledge was limited.

His original form was a squirrel, and five hundred years ago, he obtained enlightenment from Saint Chaoyang and evolved wisdom.

Since then, he has always stayed inside the Cave Heaven World, never leaving nor engaging in battles. He had zero combat experience.

The saint hadn’t told him many things.

Whether he truly didn’t know or merely chose not to tell was unclear.

“That’s all I know. Please, spare me…” Jin Feng continued to plead for mercy.

Upon hearing the information Jin Feng divulged, Gu Yang began to contemplate how to deal with this guy.

Very soon, he had an idea.

He asked, “Do you want to live?”

“Yes.” Jin Feng nodded emphatically.

“Good. From now on, whether there’s any action from the Shen Family or Saint Chaoyang, you must keep me informed.”

“This…”

Jin Feng was almost scared stiff, stuttering, “If the Saint… finds out, she will… kill me.”

He truly is as timid as a mouse.

Since Gu Yang had decided to send him back to the Three Sages Gate as a mole, he naturally needed him to work for him willingly, so he started persuading him, “Do you know the relationship between Chaoyang and me?”

Jin Feng cautiously said, “You are the master of the Saint.”

“Chaoyang is misguided; she mistake a stone for me. I will visit her in the future and clarify this confusion. Since you regard her as your master, can you stand by and watch her harm her own master?”

“This…”

Jin Feng was at a loss for words, seeming to think that it made a lot of sense.

But he felt that something was not quite right.

Gu Yang didn’t give him time to think, “You are preventing her from making a mistake. Even though she finds out in the future, she would probably thank you instead of blaming you.”

Jin Feng swallowed, saying, “From now on, I will follow the command of the Emperor.”

“Good. This is a talisman specifically for conveying messages. If anything happens, notify me immediately.”

Seeing him so cooperative, Gu Yang was quite satisfied and produced a few talismans.

This was a method of creating talismans that he learned from the Yellow Springs Cave World. It could transmit messages to a specific person thousands of miles away.

“I am a person who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments. If you do your job well for me, you will be rewarded in the future. But if you harbour any ill intentions, I will make you regret living in this world.”

After giving Jin Feng a stern warning, Gu Yang let him go.

Killing him could earn thirty energy points.

However, Gu Yang felt that if he could turn him, it would be more beneficial.

In the Three Sages Gate, Saint Chaoyang had more than just him as a subordinate. He had seen several Unleaking Realm practitioners.

Killing him would risk having a stronger Unleaking Realm opponent, which would indeed be more difficult to deal with.

Having such a useless ally could buy him some time.

As for him being an informant, it was just a bonus.

Gu Yang had a Simulator, which could simulate the future, so whether he got information or not didn’t matter.

He took out the Spirit Tools he had just seized from the two Mana Realm experts of the Shen Family, and directly chose to recharge.

“Recharge successful. Acquired 15 grid of energy. Current balance: 83.”
