The Entire Sect is Full of Villains, Yet the Junior Sister Conquers All

Chapter 250 : Why Is It You Again!!

A deadly chill appeared on his neck, and Yan Wangxing's face suddenly changed. He glared fiercely at the familiar figure before him, gritting his teeth as he said,

"Chu Sang, why is it you again?!"

Each word was enunciated with such viciousness that he nearly ground his back teeth to pieces!

Damn it, she's a human cultivator, why does she keep coming to the demon realm?

What does she think his demon palace is? A place she can come and go as she pleases?!

"Hi hi hi, Xiao Yan, long time no see. Have you been missing me lately?" Chu Sang smoothly ignored his murderous expression and said with a grin.

"Get lost, who allowed you to call me that? Are we close? Do you believe I'll kill you right now?!"

Yan Wangxing was pressed down by her sword, his face twisted with anger. This was like being treated as a eunuch who comes when called and leaves when dismissed!

He was now the mighty Demon Lord. If anyone else dared to intrude into the demon palace in the dead of night, they would have been annihilated long ago.

But this person before him was particularly troublesome. The previous encounters had truly frightened him, and moreover, the black sword in Chu Sang's hand was the Primordial Soul-Chaser, the foremost of the Ten Great Evil Swords. Even if he were struck in a vital point by this sword, if not dead, he would lose half his life. Yan Wangxing inexplicably didn't make a move.

He took a deep breath, quickly calming down, and said expressionlessly,

"What do you want in the demon realm this time?"

At the same time, he inwardly cursed fiercely at those useless guards outside the demon palace. What were they eating? Letting someone in again and again? It seemed these incompetents under him needed to be thoroughly disciplined!

Although even he hadn't detected when Chu Sang had arrived...

Chu Sang tossed the token in her hand, not at all bothered by his scolding. She raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Oh my, don't speak so coldly. It's only been a few days and you're already distancing our relationship? How should I put it, we're friends who have cooperated multiple times. As your only friend in the cultivation world, I left in such a hurry last time that I didn't see your Demon Lord coronation ceremony. So I've come specially this time to congratulate you on becoming the Demon Lord!"

"......"

Yan Wangxing was rendered speechless by her shamelessness.

Hah, as if she would be so kind?

He would thank the heavens if she didn't come specifically to torment him. How could she possibly come specially to congratulate him?

Come to congratulate, empty-handed, without even bringing a gift? Oh right, she brought a sword to his neck, and could still smile and say she came to congratulate him... Only a fool would believe that!

"Speak plainly, what do you really want?"

"To save you."

"...Save me?"

Yan Wangxing laughed again, either laughing in extreme anger or amused by her joke. "You cultivators claim to be righteous practitioners, though I can't see how you're righteous at all. You seem more suited to joining our demon path. If you're going to lie, at least find a more plausible reason."

"You came to the demon realm to save me?"

"Do I need you to save me?"

His fingertips moved slightly, his cold voice filled with undisguised mockery, "Daring to openly intrude into the demon realm alone, you'd better think about how to save yourself first."

Chu Sang sensed the killing intent emanating from Yan Wangxing, but showed no fear. She continued in a light tone, "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet... Tonight, someone will rebel and attempt to usurp your throne."

His hand, secretly gathering demon energy, stopped abruptly an inch from her vital point. Yan Wangxing seemed not to have expected her to say such a thing. He frowned and scoffed reflexively, "Usurp the throne? You mean those demon lords? Those weaklings dare?"

After ascending to the Demon Lord position, in just a few days, he had advanced to the Unity stage. Except for those long-retired old monsters in the demon race, looking across the entire demon realm, he was undoubtedly the number one.

He knew those demon lords had always been restless and harboring ill intentions, but they were merely at the Divine Transformation stage. Where would those weaklings get the courage to try to snatch his position? Were they offering their lives?

And her, a mere cultivator, why was she so concerned and knowledgeable about the affairs of the demon realm? What did it have to do with her? Why was she so kind as to come tell him, and for what purpose?

Chu Sang said in a strange tone, "Do you know about the Divine Decree?"

"...Of course I know." Yan Wangxing frowned slightly, speaking frankly and casually.

He didn't bother to hide this trivial matter. Since Chu Sang had asked, the cultivation world must have received the news as well. As the Demon Lord, it was impossible for him not to know about this.

When the Divine Decree appeared in the demon realm a few days ago, he had immediately received the news and sent subordinates to investigate the details.

Thinking of this, Yan Wangxing's expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant. Those subordinates he had sent out had not brought back any useful information after several days...

He had always disdained joining in those schemes and intrigues, but after hearing Chu Sang's words, he couldn't help but suspect—

Could his demon cultivator subordinates really have been turned?

Wait, he had almost been led astray by her. Yan Wangxing came to his senses and pushed her away, finally escaping that humiliating position. He quickly got up, confronting her with his arms crossed, coldly questioning, "This is the affair of my demon realm. What does it have to do with you? And why should I believe you?"

Laughable, daring to cooperate with her, he'd be cheated out of even his underwear!

He wasn't that stupid to be willingly used as a pawn. This woman was ruthless, full of schemes. She must have come this time with ill intentions as well... She had almost cleaned out his possessions, what more did she want from him?

Chu Sang, intending to seek cooperation with Yan Wangxing, naturally hadn't come empty-handed. She casually took out a memory stone, infused it with spiritual power, and images and sounds appeared. Yan Wangxing's expression changed, growing increasingly gloomy.

A few days ago, Chu Sang had accidentally heard some "good news" from the demons she encountered. Those demons harassing the borders of the cultivation world were subordinates of several demon lords. They were using the name of the demon race to harass the cultivation world, with the purpose of deepening the hatred between the cultivation world and the demon realm. After all, Yan Wangxing was now sitting in the Demon Lord position, so the various sects of the cultivation world would naturally place the blame on him. When the cultivation world and demon realm went to war, those demon lords would naturally benefit from fishing in troubled waters.

As long as Yan Wangxing found those masterminds behind the scenes, he could eliminate them in one fell swoop. However, Chu Sang deliberately only showed half of the recording, holding his interest, using the second half of the recording to negotiate with him. "Well, I've sincerely presented evidence. Do you still not believe me? You should believe in the trust between people. I'm a good person!" She earnestly said, "Considering we're friends who have been through difficulties together, I've come all this way with genuine intentions to help you. If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't need to get involved and increase my own risk. After all, if you were overthrown, another demon lord would take the position, which has nothing to do with me. The demon race losing a Unity stage demon would be all benefit and no harm to the cultivation world."

"......"

"Let's cooperate once more. I'll help you root out the traitors in the demon realm. How about it?"

Yan Wangxing rarely used his brain to think deeply for quite a while. His instinct told him not to trust this woman easily, but indeed, the memory stone couldn't be faked. There were traitors among his subordinates... However, what he still couldn't understand was, did Chu Sang really have such good intentions to come help him?

What she said was correct. After all, who sat in the Demon Lord position had nothing to do with her. Losing a Unity stage demon would actually be a good thing for the cultivation world... If so, why was she helping him? Don't talk about that so-called friendship, unless he was a dog, he wouldn't believe it!

"If you want to cooperate with me, that's not impossible, but first tell me, what do you want to gain? Why are you helping me?" Yan Wangxing narrowed his eyes, looking at her. Having been tricked so many times, he was instinctively wary.

He usually preferred to use his fists rather than his brain, but when facing Chu Sang, he became overly cautious.

Chu Sang met his gaze, staring for a good while. Under Yan Wangxing's increasingly suspicious and uncertain gaze, she patted his shoulder and sighed languidly, "Haven't you heard from your subordinates? I've been secretly in love with you for a long time."

"Get lost."

His goosebumps were about to fall off completely.

Back to the main topic.

Yan Wangxing still maintained his suspicion, but for now, he seemed to believe seven or eight tenths of it and didn't continue to make a move. Chu Sang quickly searched through the intelligence she had gathered over the past few days in her mind.

Before heading to the demon realm, she had specially gone to probe around the other demon lords. Unfortunately, the intelligence of the other demon lords was considerably higher than Yan Wangxing's in the past. Moreover, due to her previous high-profile entries and exits from the demon realm, the entire demon realm had increased its vigilance. It was somewhat risky for her to enter and exit the palaces of the various demon lords, and the information she could gather was limited.

However, from what she could see now, what could be confirmed was that some demon lords had planted quite a few moles around Yan Wangxing and had also received news of the Divine Decree's descent. Their next step should be to obtain the Divine Decree and force their way into the Demon Lord's throne.

"Are there any formations set up inside and outside the palace?" Chu Sang asked after surveying the demon palace.

"No," Yan Wangxing said.

He had never bothered with such trivial matters. The fact that Chu Sang could so easily ransack his possessions in the past was partly thanks to his arrogance.

"I can set up a few formations for you. Don't worry, it's free, I won't charge any benefits. If someone really does try to usurp the throne tonight, at least it can block them for a while, so you won't be passive."

He clicked his tongue, "Why bother with such trouble? Those demon lords are merely at Divine Transformation stage. Wouldn't killing them solve the problem?"

After speaking, Yan Wangxing coldly glanced at the shadows of people moving back and forth outside the door—the guards outside the demon palace. If those demon lords really wanted to rebel, the guards had probably been infiltrated too. In that case, he'd kill them all, solving the problem once and for all.

Seeing that he really intended to take action, Chu Sang couldn't help but think that the demon race was truly ruthless to the core. Attacking the cultivation world was one thing, but they were equally harsh towards their own kind. Without even distinguishing friend from foe, they would kill at will. They truly embodied the principle of "better to wrongly kill a hundred than to let one escape."

Chu Sang naturally would be pleased to see the demon race engage in mutual slaughter, but...

"Beating the grass alerts the snake, but doesn't eliminate the root."

Chu Sang's words made Yan Wangxing pause his actions.

He irritably ruffled his hair. He really hated these schemes and intrigues. As fellow members of the demon race, if they truly wanted this position, they should face him in a fair fight. It was so annoying to engage in all these twists and turns like those despicable cultivators!

Given his style, at worst he could just kill all those demon lords. But since they dared to plan in secret, they likely had some hidden moves prepared. When the time came for a real fight, even a cornered dog would jump over a wall. He might not have absolute certainty of victory.

Thinking of this, Yan Wangxing narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the calm and composed Chu Sang. "Are you sure your intelligence is reliable? If nothing happens tonight..."

"Want to make a bet with me?" Chu Sang said. "I bet we'll catch them like turtles in a jar."

⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱

Half the night passed without any unusual movements. Thanks to the psychological trauma left by Chu Sang's previous antics, Yan Wangxing didn't dare to act rashly for the moment. He coldly stared at her, thinking that if she dared to deceive him, he would kill this woman immediately...

When it was late into the night, he actually heard movements outside. There were very faint fluctuations of demon energy, but not few in number.

It seemed those demon cultivators were using some magical tools, spiritual tools, or formations to conceal their auras. Unfortunately, the demon race's attainments in artifact refining and formations were not high. The spiritual tools they made were far inferior to those from the cultivation world and couldn't completely conceal their demon energy.

An ordinary Yan Wangxing wouldn't have noticed these slight movements at all and might have really fallen into the trap. However, tonight he was forced to stay highly alert. The moment demon energy appeared near the demon palace, he sensed something was amiss.

And the guards outside the demon palace silently dispersed without a single report.

Yan Wangxing's face became extremely ugly. He had guessed that the demon palace had been infiltrated by traitors, but he hadn't expected it to be so thorough!

The demon cultivators outside the palace were closing in step by step.

The two of them held their positions.

The pre-arranged formations blocked the demon cultivators' attack. They seemed not to have expected formations to exist here, and there was a moment of panic within their ranks. But they quickly settled down and used all their methods to break through the formations.

Inside the room, Chu Sang lowered her voice and said with a smile, "How about it? Wasn't my guess correct? I told you I came to save you. You should believe in the true feelings between people, friend."

"......"

Her ambiguous attitude that was neither too close nor too distant made Yan Wangxing even more perplexed. He speculated several times about Chu Sang's intentions, but couldn't find any evidence. He even began to truly wonder if she might have actually taken a liking to him.

Yan Wangxing awkwardly averted his gaze, thought for a moment, and still asked, "Then what do you want to do next?"

Seeing him like this, Chu Sang knew that Yan Wangxing had completely believed her. She hadn't expected progress on the demon race side to be even faster than the beast race. Indeed, she preferred teaming up with simple and easily fooled people.

After arriving in the demon realm, she didn't immediately go to find Yan Wangxing, but first went to probe around the other demon lords. Of course, she didn't just probe around for nothing, she also made some other small moves.

For example: using illusion puppets to create a few fake people, then taking out those tokens she had previously obtained from Yan Wangxing, mixing truth and falsehood to confuse them, putting on quite a show...

The demon lords had originally planned to secretly obtain the Divine Decree first, then attack the demon palace. After Chu Sang's disruption, they thought their plan had been exposed and, with their backs against the wall, had no choice but to move up their timeline. This led to Chu Sang's prophetic words tonight.

Chu Sang's words were half-true and half-false, but she wasn't wrong. The rebellion would happen just a few days earlier or later. It was a good opportunity to create a new, trustworthy image for herself.

After successfully gaining Yan Wangxing's trust, using his hand, the next steps would be much easier.

This time, she was determined to find out exactly what the Divine Decree was.
