Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 348 - 336: A Fallen Life, Struggling Reluctantly to the Dying Breath, Ultimately Caught in the Net; Chu Feng! I Curse You!

Chapter 348: Chapter 336: A Fallen Life, Struggling Reluctantly to the Dying Breath, Ultimately Caught in the Net; Chu Feng! I Curse You!

The voice in the scene remained unhurried and indifferent, coldly declaring Li Dongyu’s crimes.

As everyone had expected, Li Dongyu indeed was the chief figure in Chen Fei’s network, the mastermind behind the scenes.

When he was young, he and several classmates ventured into the Demon Domain, but unfortunately were captured by the Demon Clan.

In order to survive, the coerced Li Dongyu accepted the Demon Clan’s temptations and personally killed his fellow students, handing the leverage to the Demon Clan, and then he agreed to work for them. After setting up a method of contact, he escaped with his life.

The Demon Clan was not stingy with him either; they didn’t mind that he only provided some trivial, insignificant information, which might not even be true or false. Instead, they disproportionately provided him with a massive amount of cultivation resources and forcibly elevated him to the status of the outstanding people of his generation.

Later, they even used some undercover agents to get him a position in the headquarters of the Academy Alliance.

...

Used to the Demon Clan’s almost gratuitous largess, Li Dongyu’s mindset began to change drastically.

On one hand, being used to spending lavishly and bribing people for support, he wanted to continue to garner external backing in order to climb higher in the Academy Alliance.

On the other hand, his greed for a better quality of life and his desire to become stronger led him to actively seek out trades with the Demon Clan.

But as the old saying goes, there’s no such thing as a free lunch; every gift was already tagged with a price.

He wanted to trade, but the Demon Clan had become less generous and started to coerce him into giving up more valuable things.

If he wanted senior cultivation resources, he had to exchange important intelligence information!

If he wanted top-level resources, he had to find a way to promote certain policies, to facilitate the Demon Clan’s goals!

If he didn’t cooperate, then all resource support would be cut off, and members of the Evil Cult would disclose all the leverage they held in their hands on the network.

This would not only result in his complete social death, being despised by tens of thousands and leaving an eternal stain, but he would also be prosecuted for the crime of betrayal.

At best, he would spend the second half of his life in prison without even the chance to redeem himself on the frontlines; at worst, his head would roll!

Harboring a fear of falling back into the dust, Li Dongyu knew that he was completely tied to the Demon Clan’s ship, and it was very difficult to get off.

After thinking it through, he "difficultly" decided to engage in a higher-level trade with the Demon Clan, switching the content of the trade to classified intelligence.

...

As the scale of the trades between the two parties grew, and the intelligence exchanged became more critical, Li Dongyu’s status in the eyes of the Demon Clan also rose.

At first, he was just a "much valued seed," but later, he became a "key strategic partner."

With the Demon Clan’s sustenance, he was successful from all sides, establishing an extensive trade network that spanned half of the Human Race, controlling a massive amount of resources and information, hence his extremely sensitive instincts.

Prior to Chen Fei and others’ exposure, he had already sensed something amiss, first warning Chen Fei and others to prepare to flee, and providing them with the necessary channels.

But then he quickly cut ties with them, destroying most of the criminal evidence, covering his tracks, to avoid being caught.

At the same time, he was also secretly preparing to escape beyond the territory, and he had even reached an agreement with the Demon Clan, preparing to flee to their side.

He would represent "humanity" on the side of the Demon Clan, providing a legal basis for the Demon Clan’s invasion of Blue Star and subsequent rule.

The Demon Clan in return promised to protect his life and amply reward him, this traitor of the human race, after conquering Blue Star!

...

Originally, he had made all the preparations to flee, but he felt very unwilling to do so.

He had spent more than a decade of his youth, consumed countless resources, offered countess flatteries, and made numerous sacrifices to build his own underground intelligence empire!

In the Academy Alliance, he was almost on the cusp of reaching the peak, set to become the de facto ruler of Longhua’s top powers.

Outside, he had become a renowned figure throughout Longhua, known to everyone.

His name was even recorded in the "Longhua Chronicles"!

His family, from an obscure local clan, had leapfrogged into the top tier of families just below Longhua’s three greatest families!

All of this was exceedingly rare and astonishing achievements in the entire history of Longhua!

Not to mention the future, he even had the chance to take charge of the Longhua Government, becoming one of the de facto rulers of this planet, and leading the Human Race forward!

Boundless prospects!

But more than a decade of painstaking efforts and dedication, all the results he struggled for, all the hopes for the future, were about to be utterly destroyed by that little bastard, Chu Feng!

He would never accept this!

Therefore, he stepped up his efforts to erase any past illegal traces, sweeping over any clues he might have left behind, no matter how trivial, he dared not neglect anything.

At the same time, harboring hatred towards Chu Feng, he secretly contacted the Demon Clan again to report the matter concerning Chu Feng and asked the Demon Clan to send someone to kill that bastard who ruined his grand plans!

He knew that this was not the time to act rashly, he needed to recuperate, to do everything possible to shift any suspicious gaze away from himself.

But he, who had been smooth-sailing for most of his life, stumbled because of Chu Feng, and he couldn’t swallow this humiliation!

Moreover, killing an Innate Realm martial artist was as simple as crushing an ant.

Only it had to be done covertly.

...

Unfortunately for him, his colleagues were not fools.

Leaders such as Sun Wenzheng, the president of the Academy Alliance, were cunning. They had been closely watching Li Dongyu’s rise to power and had long sensed something was amiss.

Only, because Li Dongyu held a rather high position and they lacked evidence, they were unable to take action.

After the incident with Chen Fei and others, Sun Wenzheng, who memorized relationships like the back of his hand, immediately thought of Li Dongyu.

After all, Chen Fei was strictly speaking from Li Dongyu’s faction, with a not-so-shallow relationship.

He immediately arranged for his trusted subordinates to monitor Li Dongyu’s movements, and before the enemy could completely destroy the evidence, they seized important proof that Li Dongyu was involved in treasonous acts!

Just as they obtained the evidence, the matter concerning Chu Feng was stirred up by Ge Yunsong in the Alliance, even calling for an expanded meeting of the standing committee for discussion.

Li Dongyu knew that if Chu Feng gained notoriety and entered the higher echelons of Longhua’s vision, it would not be so simple to make a move against him anymore.

Therefore, when Chu Feng’s name was nominated for the Composite Technique, he raised objections, intending to suppress Chu Feng’s reputation.

But Sun Wenzheng was already wary of him and rejected his opinion in the name of justice.

After leaving the meeting room, Li Dongyu hesitated for a while and decided to immediately contact the Demon Clan to send someone to assassinate Chu Feng!

And then, he was caught red-handed by Sun Wenzheng, who had been illegally surveilling him. After a failed resistance, he was captured.

...

After the voice-over announced Li Dongyu’s crimes, it suddenly paused, followed by, "Li Dongyu, do you have anything to say?"

The warrior behind Li Dongyu stepped forward, grasped the rope over Li Dongyu’s mouth, exerted True Force to remove the suppression, and gave Li Dongyu back the ability to speak.

This was a treatment not afforded to other prisoners.

Everyone understood in their hearts that this was based on Li Dongyu’s status, offering him the last measure of respect and humanitarian consideration.

Moreover, after all, he was a famous figure in Longhua. To have kept his mouth gagged and not let him confess in his own words would perhaps be difficult to satisfy the public.

After the gag was removed from Li Dongyu’s mouth, he was silent for a while, then suddenly let out a bitter laugh, "Now that it has come to this, what more is there to say? It’s just a case of the victor being the king and the loser being the bandit.

"My only mistake was that my power was not great enough, my strength not strong enough to protect the fruits of my life’s work, causing it to be destroyed in an instant!

"Furthermore..."

He suddenly raised his head, his face ferocious, and shouted madly with his mouth wide open, "I can’t accept this!

"Just because of a little insect, I’ve come to this stage today!

"Chu Feng! You deserve death!

"I curse you! I curse you to hell—!"
