"Hmph, I'm not that weak. If it weren't for you, no one in the entire world would be my match." Hei Xue said.
Hei Xue's Heavenly Demon Sound was almost unbreakable by anyone. If not for Xiaoyao's existence, she only needed to cultivate a bit more, and even saint experts (peerless experts mean saint realm) would submit under her Heavenly Demon Sound.
The Heavenly Demon Sound was almost unbreakable by anyone. Hei Xue still couldn't understand how Xiaoyao had been able to break it back then. This wasn't something that could be done with a simple lion's roar or simple Buddhist music. Even if a high monk like the Abbot of Ten Directions came, he still wouldn't be able to break the Heavenly Demon Sound.
Other people would be even more impossible to break it, unless the person using the Heavenly Demon Sound wasn't strong enough, or their vocal conditions didn't quite match. But Hei Xue was the most perfect practitioner with very high compatibility. At the same time, Hei Xue's cultivation was very deep. Even if it was somewhat unexpected back then, it wasn't something just anyone could break.
It was said that the Heavenly Demon Sound could only be broken by someone who knew the Heavenly Demon Sound, and they had to use the Heavenly Demon Sound to suppress the opponent and control the people the opponent controlled. This was the only way to break it.
But what Xiaoyao used wasn't like this - he directly pulled people back from the Heavenly Demon Sound, awakening everyone. Was this coincidence, or had he mastered something?
"Relying on unorthodox methods won't work. There will always be some people whose willpower is immune to your Heavenly Demon Sound. When martial arts cultivation reaches a certain level, it can also be immune to your Heavenly Demon Sound!" Xiaoyao shook his head, sighing somewhat.
"Tch, there aren't many such people. Our Demon Cult will have people come out to deal with them," Hei Xue said unconcernedly, and what she said seemed to be a fact, so she wasn't worried about anything.
"Whatever you want. But I don't want to go up there. If you want to go, go yourself. I'm staying here," Xiaoyao said very firmly.
...
...
"You have to go whether you want to or not. Don't forget what situation you're in," Hei Xue threatened. Calling it threatening, she was indeed quite obvious. This was also speechless - your threatening didn't seem to be toward an enemy, but toward someone close to you.
"Miss Hei Xue..."
"Call me Hei Xue!"
"Hei Xue, do you believe that I'm staying here just because I don't want to cause trouble, not because I have no way to escape?" Xiaoyao looked at Hei Xue and said lightly.
"I... believe you. Alright, then we won't go up there. We'll just wait here," Hei Xue smiled and no longer mentioned going up.
"..." Xiaoyao had originally just wanted to remind her to consider his thoughts and not treat him like a prisoner, but he hadn't expected her to agree so easily.
Regarding this, Xiaoyao didn't think much about it. He wanted to find a place to sit down and discovered that the only place where he could sit now seemed to be beside that group of people. Other places were either destroyed or bloody.
Xiaoyao didn't think about it at all and walked directly toward that place, sitting down near Dongfang Wunian and the others. Then he took out a book from his backpack to read. This book wasn't from the underground palace or from Heavenly Gate - it was just a very ordinary basic knowledge book.
Sometimes, consolidating the basics was very necessary. You could discover many things you had forgotten!!
"Spy!!" Those Heavenly Gate people looked at Xiaoyao with red eyes and shouted.
"Spy? I'm not. Can't you see I'm also controlled by them?" Xiaoyao casually replied, not wanting to say much. What use was explaining too much? Those who would believe would believe, and those who wouldn't believe still wouldn't believe.
"Who would believe that? You're a spy!"
"Don't believe it? Female demon head, come over here. Can you let me go?" Xiaoyao said to the approaching Hei Xue. At this moment, he had switched back to calling her "female demon head."
"Don't even think about it. If I let you go and you sabotage the plan, what then, Also, what are you doing sitting beside them? Are you trying to save them?" Hei Xue said while having people strengthen their guard around Xiaoyao, isolating Xiaoyao from those Heavenly Gate people.
"They say I'm a spy, so I'm too lazy to save them." Xiaoyao waved his hand. If it were those people who had lived with Xiaoyao, perhaps Xiaoyao would take action. For these people, Xiaoyao wouldn't.
As for those people, Xiaoyao believed the Demon Cult people wouldn't bother with them. The Demon Cult acted strangely and killed like hemp, viewing human life as grass, but they rarely killed unrelated people, much less kill the weak. The Demon Cult weren't those conscienceless scum. The Demon Cult was a group of people from the dark world who had their own principles and pride - so-called underworld people.
"Spy? Speaking of which, why are you here? You still haven't directly answered me." Hei Xue sat beside Xiaoyao and asked.
"Well... actually, I got lost. Do you believe that?" Xiaoyao smiled and asked.
"I believe…”
“What? You believe?"
Xiaoyao looked at Hei Xue, very surprised. Was this female demon head playing with him? His words were obviously joking.
"No matter what you say, I believe it." Hei Xue smiled gently, speaking very tenderly, with an attitude like lovers.
"Are you sick?" Xiaoyao had noticed this from the beginning and had always been suspicious. Why was Hei Xue so strange? Logically she should hate him to death, but her attitude seemed completely different, somewhat hair-raising.
"She is sick, believing in fortune telling, thinking you're her destined one."
At this moment, someone helped answer this question. With this sentence, soon a fiery red figure appeared beside Xiaoyao. This figure, this voice, Xiaoyao had also seen and heard them before.
Beside Hei Xue, wearing fiery red clothes, wasn't this that mature woman Sister Hong?
When Sister Hong came to Xiaoyao's side, she stared at Xiaoyao. That gaze made Xiaoyao feel a bit scared!
"Sister Hong! Has Dongfang Bubai been taken down?" Hei Xue asked calmly. She knew what Sister Hong had gone to do, one of the tasks was to take down Dongfang Bubai.
"Already taken down. This old guy was indeed very formidable. It took five of us attacking together to deal with him." Sister Hong smiled and said.
"No, impossible..."
After Sister Hong's words, those suppressed Heavenly Gate disciples all shook their heads, feeling it was impossible. They didn't believe their sect master would lose, didn't believe Heavenly Gate was finished just like that.
"No, father couldn't possibly lose. You're lying to me!!" Dongfang Wuqing was somewhat agitated at this moment, showing a state somewhat inconsistent with her name. However, compared to others, she was already very calm.
"Lying to you? Is there such a need? Hei Xue, what about these people? Kill them?" Sister Hong said very disdainfully, then made a throat-slitting gesture to Hei Xue.
"Kill them. Leaving them alive would just be trouble. For outer sect disciples and below, those who want to die for the sect can die for the sect. Those who don't want to die can leave this place and fend for themselves," Hei Xue said lightly.
Hei Xue's light tone made people feel a chill, because under this light tone was a massacre!!
"No, I don't want to die yet!!"
Among those Heavenly Gate disciples, not everyone was unafraid of death. Some people viewed death as homecoming, but some immediately spoke up, wanting to preserve their lives.
"Shut up, you cowards! Our Heavenly Gate has no such people!" Dongfang Wuqing let out a low roar.
"The Eldest Miss already said you're not Heavenly Gate people anymore, so as long as you swear not to seek revenge against the Demon Cult, we'll let you go," Xiaoyao immediately picked up the conversation.
"You spy! You have no place to speak here!!" A group of people roared at Xiaoyao and glared viciously at those who were afraid of death, as if they would immediately pounce if those people made any move.
"Don't mind them. They're about to die soon. If you want to live, swear to leave. Even ants steal life - everyone has the right to live," Xiaoyao ignored those people and continued speaking.
Those who wanted to live began stirring. That's right, we have the right to live. Those who oppose will die soon - what does it have to do with us? Even if they survive and come looking for us, that's a future matter!
Now, if we don't survive, what future is there!!
"Hey, kid, who gave you this authority?" Sister Hong said at this moment, very dissatisfied with Xiaoyao's unauthorized decision.
After Sister Hong's words, those people also began to sober up. Disappointed feelings began rising, because only then did they realize that the one giving them hope was Xiaoyao, and Xiaoyao didn't seem to be able to make decisions.
"Good, it's decided like this. As long as you swear not to oppose us and retreat when you encounter Demon Cult people, you can leave," Hei Xue nodded at this moment...
Sister Hong was somewhat speechless, while those people began to have new hope again.
"Hei Xue, don't be so partial to this kid. You haven't married him yet," Sister Hong said irritably.
"Ah, what? When did I say I wanted to marry him," Hei Xue was a bit shy, her cheeks flushed, looking very embarrassed, and most fatally, she secretly glanced at Xiaoyao.
Damn, does this woman really consider me her future husband? This is too scary. I don't want a female demon head as a wife - that would be too deadly!!
"You already believe he's your destined one anyway, so if you're not marrying him, who are you marrying! I really don't understand how you could believe such absurd things!!" Sister Hong felt very helpless. She couldn't imagine that Hei Xue would believe in fate and believe Xiaoyao was her other half in life.
It was because of this that Hei Xue had this attitude toward Xiaoyao. This explained everything, but this matter was too magical.
If it were other ordinary women, perhaps this would make sense, because many ordinary women believed in fate and would follow fate's arrangements. But Hei Xue wasn't an ordinary woman. She was a female demon head, and not just any female demon head - she had extremely high intelligence.
