Chapter 185 : It's Your Turn to Take the Stage!
The sword energy was sharp and unrivaled!
Qin Xixue was forced out rather disheveled. She never expected that among these disciples, there would be someone so perceptive. She had specially used a high-grade immortal treasure to conceal her aura, which could evade cultivators' spiritual sense detection. Even this demon king might not have been able to sense her presence.
"Isn't that Xue person? Wasn't she expelled from the sect? How did she get here?"
Lin Jing frowned, his tone unfriendly.
The Tianyan Sect disciples were also shocked to see Qin Xixue suddenly appear, followed by disgust. Thinking that this traitor who colluded with the enemy came from their sect, they all felt ashamed and wished they could disassociate from her.
Mo Qingchen also frowned but didn't speak. However, anyone could see the alienation in his eyes.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Beast Taming Sect, and Pill Condensation Sect had come with Chu Sang and the others, so they already knew that Qin Xixue had come with this group of rogue cultivators. However, what they hadn't expected was—she had actually followed them to the inner area?
That mirror just now was released by her, right?
What did she want to do?
After being expelled from the Immortal Sect, was she so ashamed and angry that she decided to become an enemy of the Immortal Sects??
Lu Yue clicked her tongue, crossing her arms, her eyes unfriendly as she said, "Why did this person follow us again, like a stubborn stain that won't wash off!"
Qin Xixue's face darkened, but since she had already been expelled from the Immortal Sect, she decided to throw caution to the wind. No matter how maliciously they slandered her, she wouldn't take it to heart.
The anger on her face faded, and she resumed her gentle and weak appearance, curling her lips into a smile, "We also sensed the aura of a demon king emerging here. Fearing you might encounter danger, we hurried over, wanting to lend a hand."
"Did you grow a mouth just to spout nonsense? If you really wanted to help, you would have come out earlier. What were you doing hiding in the shadows? Didn't you see we had already subdued the demon dragon and were just about to finish it off? Yet you chose that last moment to intervene? Are you helping us or harming us? Some people better know where they stand! Don't put on an innocent face, or I'll slap that mouth off your face!"
Lu Yue had a fiery temper and cursed harshly, showing a complete lack of manners.
But being unrefined felt good.
Seeing Qin Xixue's suddenly ugly expression was extremely satisfying.
"You... how can you speak so rudely as fellow women!"
Her face cycled through shades of green, white, red, and black, almost becoming a colorful palette. Yet she alone couldn't out-curse so many people, so she could only swallow this anger.
"Senior Brother!"
She caught sight of Mo Qingchen in the distance, her eyes brightening. She had originally intended to rely on their past relationship to get Mo Qingchen's help, but unexpectedly, when the young man's gaze met hers, there wasn't a hint of affection. It was cold as ice, as if looking at a complete stranger.
Even strangers wouldn't be regarded with such coldness and disgust.
Qin Xixue's expression immediately worsened, her fingertips almost piercing into her palms, her face as white as paper.
Lou Qing stepped forward and said coldly, "Don't keep calling 'Senior Brother' this and that. You're no longer a disciple of our Tianyan Sect. We can't bear such respectful address from you!"
"You all......"
Qin Xixue was scolded speechless, almost bursting with anger.
"Xiao Xue, why waste words with them? To the victor go the spoils. Whoever can snatch this demon king naturally owns it." Que Yao blocked her behind him, his figure suddenly disappearing and reappearing next to the barrier.
At the same time, demonic power erupted from his body, a fiery red fox tail faintly appearing behind him. He was clearly a member of the demon race!
"Damn, no way, this Qin Xixue really hasn't changed. Has she forgotten how she was expelled from the sect? Now she's hooked up with the demon race again??" Lin Qi couldn't help but exclaim.
"She had already been colluding with both the demon and ghost races before. It's just that when she had the status of an Immortal Sect disciple, she only dared to do it secretly. Now that she's been expelled from the Immortal Sect and no one's watching her, she's simply given up all pretense," Tantai Ming said with a twist of his mouth.
A rare cold killing intent appeared in the young man's eyes. This person had been at odds with Little Junior Sister before, and Little Junior Sister had even been expelled from Tianyan Sect because of her. Although he had to say he was fortunate that Little Junior Sister had been expelled from Tianyan Sect, otherwise he wouldn't have met her.
But this didn't negate the harm this Qin Xixue had caused Little Junior Sister!
Tantai Ming had felt from the first glance that she wasn't a good person. Now that she had fully exposed her true colors, he knew his sixth sense back then was accurate!
Understanding dawned in Chu Sang's eyes. As she and Mu Changqing had guessed, this red-robed man beside Qin Xixue was indeed a member of the demon race, and a red fox with impure bloodline at that.
Demon beasts were different from human cultivators. They were extremely promiscuous by nature, and that nine-tailed fox demon emperor was a prime example, spreading his seed everywhere, with at least hundreds or thousands of offspring.
The official heir was the only child born to the nine-tailed white fox demon empress, who was also the previous demon realm heir who had died.
Now that the demon realm heir was dead, the demon emperor's heir was gone, so naturally, his hundreds or thousands of other offspring couldn't sit still, wanting to secretly make some moves.
To be honest, although this red-robed male fox had impure bloodline, his strength was surprisingly good, at the late Divine Transformation stage, much stronger than that useless previous demon realm heir.
"Leave this to us. You all focus on guarding this demon dragon, don't let it escape!" Chu Sang looked towards the other sects and instructed, "Oh, and unless absolutely necessary, this demon dragon doesn't need to be killed."
She suddenly thought, if killed, it would be gone, with no other value... Rather than killing it directly, it would be better to keep it alive. She had some other uses for it.
"Alright, be careful then."
Shang Ziling nodded, and the disciples from other sects all readied themselves.
Unknowingly, they had already come to trust Chu Sang extremely, completely instinctively. No one even questioned why she wanted to keep this demon dragon alive... Well, their instincts told them that following Chu Sang's lead was absolutely the right choice!
Seeing that demon fox trying to break through the barrier, Big Senior Sister went ahead to stop his action.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, he immediately leaped back, his demonic power surging. A giant tail enveloped him entirely, blocking the attack of over a hundred sword energies.
Just as he was about to coldly curl his lips and mock these ignorant human cultivators, an even more powerful aura made his face change dramatically!
This aura didn't come from the human cultivators before him, nor from the disciples of other sects, but another, much more powerful demonic aura. Its bloodline was hundreds of times stronger than his, completely incomparable...
"Third Senior Brother, it's your turn to take the stage!"
Que Yao was forced to receive this overwhelmingly powerful demonic attack, his throat tasting of blood.
The demon race didn't care much about the level of strength, but rather the power of bloodline origin.
Even if the two were equal in strength, both having just broken through to late Divine Transformation stage, this single attack instantly shattered his demonic power barrier.
Que Yao looked over with anger and fear—who on earth was it??!!
