Chapter 328: Night Devil Badge

This badge was simple and unadorned, but its workmanship was exquisite, especially the two large words “Night Devil” in the middle.

Without a doubt, this was the Night Devil badge!

Lin Feng had once inquired about some rumors regarding the Night Devil. Most of the Night Devil comprised ordinary members, but only very few people could obtain a badge, which was the Night Devil badge.

Even Lin Feng did not know about the various benefits enjoyed by holders of the Night Devil badge. After all, there were very few martial artists with the Night Devil badge.

In the past, Lin Feng was intercepted by a few Meta-divine martial artists, who were all members of the Night Devil organization. After Lin Feng killed them, the Night Devil stopped making moves. Lin Feng also had a lot on his plate, so he did not continue investigating the Night Devil.

But now, he did not expect that Sage Batai was actually involved with the Night Devil!

“Impossible, impossible. How can Batai be a member of the Night Devil?”

The Invincible Fist Sage’s expression changed drastically when he saw the badge in Lin Feng’s hand. It was true that he had always been at odds with Batai, and had even developed killing intent before and engaged with Batai in a battle to the death at the League of Guardians Headquarters.

However, he never thought that Sage Batai could be a member of the Night Devil.

“Dean, how much do you know about the Night Devil organization?”

Lin Feng flipped about the Night Devil badge repeatedly as he asked in a low voice.

“Night Devil… This is a malignant organization! Sage Kang once united the strength of the Nine Sages and mobilized the five major factions to search for the Night Devil organization. They did capture many people, but those were all ordinary members. As for who the founder of the Night Devil organization is, we have no clue at all.”

“The strongest Night Devil members we’ve ever captured were all Meta-divine Realm martial artists. But Batai, a dignified Sage, is a member of the Night Devil? How… unbelievable!”

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, the Invincible Fist Sage would never have believed it, no matter what.

A reputable Sage was actually a member of the Night Devil. This was too horrendous.

“Could Batai be the founder of the Night Devil?”

Lin Feng thought of a possibility. The strongest humans were the Nine Sages. Batai was one of the Nine Sages, and he had immense authority. If he was the founder, that would make sense.

Otherwise, if Batai was only a member of the Night Devil organization, the founder of the Night Devil organization would be truly terrifying.

“No, Batai is definitely not the founder of the Night Devil! Batai is the seventh martial artist to undergo four life transitions and become a Sage. Before that, the Night Devil was already very rampant. How could Batai, who had yet to become a Sage, have the ability to establish the Night Devil?”

Lin Feng nodded. The Night Devil organization was extremely mysterious although they had never conducted any public activities, and most of the members of the organization did not know each other’s identities.

However, if without immense strength, concentrated resources, faction, and channels for obtaining intelligence, how could the Night Devil continue to develop and grow?

“Could the founder of the Night Devil be one of the Nine Sages? Or could it be that someone had become a Sage, but remained hidden?”

Lin Feng’s interest in the Night Devil grew. A cold glint even appeared in his eyes.

Night Devil was very likely involved in Batai’s siege on the League of Guardians.

Lin Feng would never tolerate people who threatened his family and loved ones!

And there’s the communicator!

Lin Feng looked at the communicator in his hand. Although it looked a little battered, fortunately, the communicator was not too damaged.

When Lin Feng switched on the communicator, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He saw a strange string of code in the communicator. The message inside was not deleted either.

“Mysterious man!”

Lin Feng’s expression gradually turned solemn, and there was even a hint of killing intent.

As expected, Sage Batai’s siege on the League of Guardians was instigated by this mysterious person. It was definitely related to this mysterious person. In fact, this mysterious person was the culprit!

However, Lin Feng was very confused. The way this mysterious person lured Sage Batai was the secret of five life transitions. Currently, humanity only had Sages with four life transitions. How could there be five life transitions?

However, Batai believed it. This was very unusual. He did not believe that Batai was a fool who could not even distinguish this simple truth.

Something was amiss!

“Whether you are the founder of the Night Devil or not, since you tried to harm the people I want to protect, I will find you at all costs!”

A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes.

There was a lot of content in the communicator, but there was very little information about the mysterious man. It seemed like both the mysterious man and Batai were very cautious.

However, the mysterious person had revealed that he wanted to obtain the Spear of Destruction. Other than Longbetham, Lin Feng had almost never told anyone about the Spear of Destruction. How did the mysterious person know about the Spear of Destruction?

“Longbetham…”

Lin Feng felt that things were becoming more and more complicated. These things seemed to be vaguely related to Longbetham. Everything pointed to Longbetham.

However, if Longbetham wanted the Spear of Destruction, there were plenty of opportunities.

At this thought, Lin Feng wanted to find Longbetham again.

Hence, he handed the communicator to the Invincible Fist Sage. Seeing that the Invincible Fist Sage’s expression was becoming darker and darker, and even vaguely shocked, Lin Feng said in a solemn tone, “Dean, it looks like there really are some hidden talents among humanity. This mysterious person can use even Batai as a pawn. I’d really like to see who he is. Dean, I’ll have to trouble you to look for any clues this mysterious person left behind in the message through technical means.”

The Invincible Fist Sage’s expression was solemn as he nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely investigate thoroughly! I didn’t expect the Night Devil to have extended its reach to the Sages. Is there anyone else among the Nine Sages who had become a Night Devil member?”

A trace of worry flashed across the Invincible Fist Sage’s eyes.

In the past, both Sage Kang and he had treated the Night Devil as a chronic illness. Although it was a little troublesome, it did not actually damage the foundation of human society.

But now, it seemed like they had underestimated the Night Devil. If it could even infiltrate the Sages, what else could the Night Devil not do?

“Dean, there’s no need to hold the Conference of Sages. Don’t inform any other Sages either.”

The Invincible Fist Sage also nodded with a solemn expression. Of course he knew what Lin Feng meant.

This mysterious person was very likely hiding among the Nine Sages. If word got out, it would alert the enemy.

Hence, the Invincible Fist Sage immediately contacted his trusted aide and began to urgently investigate the source of the mysterious person’s signal.

Soon, the investigation results were out.

“Nothing? How can there be nothing?”

The Invincible Fist Sage’s expression was very grim. The information he received from his subordinates showed that the results of the investigation were actually empty.

Lin Feng’s expression, on the other hand, was calm. He had already expected this. If the mysterious person could be captured so easily, Batai would have investigated him thoroughly long ago.

However, from the message on the communicator, Sage Batai could also do nothing about the identity of the mysterious person.

“Dean, I’ll return to the airship first.”

Lin Feng bade farewell to the Invincible Fist Sage. Actually, he knew very well that if he wanted to investigate the mysterious person, he would probably have to rely on Longbetham’s help!
