The more Qi Xiao thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. He counted the events that had occurred one by one, noting how many of them involved the demon clan, each time with a large number of participants and an overwhelming presence.
If we talk about the Floating Island incident, there were signs of information suppression; however, in the case of Tongling, there was no concealment at all. They boldly displayed their intentions, even choosing to do so at the time of the Alchemy Competition.
Then there was the rare wedding ceremony in Jiangling that had been restarted after many years, along with the massacre in Wangjing City.
Right, previously, these four major demon sects had laid hidden dangers and inflicted secret injuries on the disciples of the four major sects. At first, they all thought this was a deliberate retaliation from the demon clan. But now it seemed that this might be another form of indirect warning?
Moreover, the attitude of this female demon leader towards the Divine Dragon Source was also strange. The Heavenly Dao despises demons, and the Divine Dragon Source cannot be touched by them; yet this demon seemed unconvinced, as if it were an unjust situation.
As these thoughts swirled in Qi Xiao's mind, he hesitated for a while before asking cautiously, "Earlier, we discovered a blood pool used for your clan's reincarnation beneath Baiyun Palace. That demon who was blood-sacrificed—did he really come back to life?"
The woman's eyes flickered as she withdrew her nonchalant expression and replied coolly, "You know quite a bit, don't you? What else do you know? Share it with me."
Qi Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Did you kill him?"
The woman suddenly covered her lips and let out a laugh, as if she had heard a joke that delighted her. "Why would I take action? I am utterly loyal to the demon clan. When my kin descend, I couldn't be happier."
"If anyone should be blamed, it's just his bad luck. Not only did he fail at reincarnation and ruin his body, but he also injured his own soul due to backlash. That fool is still nursing his wounds in the demon sacred land."
"They have nothing to do with me; how can they blame me?"
Her smile remained, but it grew increasingly cold, filled with murderous intent. "Just a bunch of scum!"
"Since you are unwilling to work for the demon clan, why go through such great lengths? Why not sit down and have a good talk? Who knows, there might still be opportunities for cooperation."
It seemed that this female demon leader harbored deep resentment towards the demon clan; perhaps there was a chance to win her over.
Upon hearing this, the woman scoffed lightly. "What are we talking about? Me abandoning darkness for light?"
"Oh come on, you're being narrow-minded. There are many ways to cooperate; it doesn't always have to be so ostentatious."
You are unwilling at heart, yet you still have to work for the demon clan. There must be some unavoidable reason behind it, right?
Seeing the woman's smile freeze and her silence, Qi Xiao knew he had hit the nail on the head again. Sending a demon who might turn against them at any moment to clear the way surely made those fiends uneasy; they must have something on her.
With a light sigh, Qi Xiao continued, "If you want to ruin the demon clan's plans, it just so happens that our goals align. Why don't you consider informing us before you take action? As for the methods, we can discuss that too. Perhaps we can find a way that won't hurt your roots while still fooling the demon clan."
The woman looked at him as if he were a ghost. "You want to perform a duet with me, a demon? I don't know whether to call you bold or foolish! Collaborating with me, a demon, aren't you afraid of being branded and expelled by the cultivation world?"
She laughed coldly, her tone meaningful and suggestive. If one were to perform too well in such a duet, they might end up ensnared themselves!
Qi Xiao was momentarily taken aback. "Do you think that by cooperating with you, I would be seen as a traitor?"
"Who knows? With ties to the demon clan, who would care about your innocence? The best approach is not to distinguish; just eliminate everyone!"
"Using someone until they're no longer needed and then casting them aside while pinning the crime of colluding with foreign races on them—this is precisely the tactic favored by your righteous sects, isn't it?"
Such tactics had already been experienced by someone a thousand years ago. Did she think he would fall for it again?
"Wait, what do you mean by that?"
Qi Xiao's first reaction was that there must be some shocking secret he was unaware of. He hurriedly spoke up, but the woman ignored him completely.
Her demonic aura surged once more as she raised her hand. Streams of black mist surged forth, transforming into countless chains that tightly bound him. He was pulled closer and closer to her.
Qi Xiao's expression changed slightly as his heart raced. No way! This woman wouldn't want to go through this again, would she?
"Wait! I still have things to say! We can discuss this further!"
"Enough with your nonsense; I have nothing more to say to you."
She extended her left hand into a claw shape. Before she even touched Qi Xiao's chest, he suddenly let out a loud scream.
"Ah, it hurts! Can you be a bit gentler?"
The woman felt somewhat speechless; she hadn't even touched him yet, so why was he in such agony?
In the distance, a thunderous roar echoed, and the ground occasionally trembled beneath them. It was undoubtedly those sect members forcefully breaking through the city gates. The Worrying Lotus wouldn’t be able to hold them off for long. If she didn’t act quickly, there would be no time left.
Gritting her teeth, the woman decided to endure the pain and forcefully extract it. However, as she looked at the golden light emanating from Qi Xiao's chest, she swallowed hard. Her fingers hovered above him but wouldn’t move down.
After waiting for a while without feeling any pain, Qi Xiao opened his eyes slightly and saw this scene, feeling a sense of disdain in his heart. So this female demon also knew fear? Then why make things difficult for him and herself?
He couldn’t help but speak up. The Dragon Source was indeed rare, but if she wanted it, she wouldn’t be able to use it anyway. Why cling to it so desperately? If she truly found this thing displeasing, wouldn’t it be better to just kill him and then find a way to destroy it afterward? Why insist on taking it? Did she have some sort of problem?
The woman shot him a cold glare and bit her lip in anger. "What do you know? This thing is rightfully mine!"
"You keep claiming it's yours, but what evidence do you have?"
Even if the demon clan wanted to replace the Heavenly Dao and redefine the world, they wouldn’t be so obsessed with a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, would they?
The woman trembled slightly, her eyes reddening. "Hmph! You, an outsider, dare to lecture me? You should take a good look at whether you’re worthy!"
With such poor talent, shallow cultivation, and disgraceful character, if she were in his position, she would have long been too ashamed to live and would have given that source to someone else. How could he shamelessly occupy it and waste it like this?
Wait a minute—how was he considered someone with poor talent and shallow cultivation? No matter how one looked at it, he wasn’t that pathetic!
At this critical moment, Qi Xiao felt both angry and amused; for a moment, he found himself at a loss for words.
Alright, alright, I, a mere human cultivator, am not worthy, only you are! Is that enough?
