Xiaoyao was a very special existence. Although he had sabotaged the Demon Cult's plans, because of his abilities and Hei Xue's mystical connection to him, he wasn't treated as an enemy by the Demon Cult.
"Fine, I'll take you up there, but whether you can see him or not, I don't know," Xiaoyao finally agreed, taking the Dongfang sisters upward.
"You can't leave here," When Xiaoyao was leaving, someone immediately jumped out to stop him. Don't forget, he had hundreds of people watching him.
"Why can't I leave here? Just now Hei Xue told you to watch me, but didn't say I couldn't leave here. You can follow me - that's also watching," Xiaoyao said.
"..." That person was stunned. Indeed, Hei Xue had only said to watch him and not let Xiaoyao escape, but hadn't specified that he must stay here. How should this situation be handled?
Xiaoyao didn't pay attention to him, but had Dongfang Wunian lead the way to the Assembly Hall. Xiaoyao had never been to that place and had never understood how to get there, because he felt he didn't need to go and there was no need to understand.
If others wanted him to go, then they would lead the way. He didn't need to understand.
Just like this, the three of them headed to the Assembly Hall with hundreds of people, making the scene very spectacular. Many people couldn't understand what was happening - who were those three young men and women?
Along the way, those Demon Cult members who were handling cleanup work couldn't figure out what was going on with Xiaoyao's group. Why were they bringing such a large group? These hundreds of people were all Demon Cult elites - they couldn't possibly not recognize them.
Just like this, Xiaoyao's group became high-ranking members of the Demon Cult, especially Xiaoyao, who became the subject of many people's speculation!
Along the way, Xiaoyao saw many traces of battle - all traces of expert duels. This was normal, after all, Heavenly Gate didn't just have the sect master as an expert, but also quite a few elders.
At each location there were several covered corpses, as well as many bloody areas. This made people understand that quite a few people had died in between - not just from Heavenly Gate, but the Demon Cult also had many sacrifices. From their attitude toward the corpses, you could tell who was from the Demon Cult and who was from Heavenly Gate.
To take down Heavenly Gate without any sacrifice was indeed impossible. However, such sacrifice had already been reduced to an unbelievable level. When this got out, the entire continent would be shocked, and those righteous sects might all live in fear.
They didn't know the reason why Heavenly Gate was destroyed this time. They only knew that the world's number one Heavenly Gate had been destroyed like this, destroyed so thoroughly. When would it be their turn? This was what they were most concerned about.
"Father!"
The Dongfang sisters called out. They saw Dongfang Bubai's corpse and shouted as they rushed over. This startled the people nearby - these were Heavenly Gate remnants. Should they be killed?
However, at this moment, there were so many Demon Cult elites nearby watching. This situation seemed to have special reasons. Smart people quickly understood to mind their own business and not worry about other things.
This was Xiaoyao's first time seeing Dongfang Bubai, but he hadn't expected to see a corpse. From the wounds on his body, there were three types of fatal injuries and four types of non-fatal injuries. Among them, the same type of damage had different techniques. It looked like at least ten people had besieged him.
These ten people wouldn't all be mediocre either. He truly deserved to be Heavenly Gate's sect master - such formidable strength required more than ten people to take him down!
However, this was also due to time constraints. The Demon Cult wanted to take down Dongfang Bubai in a short time, so many people attacked together. In this situation, the Demon Cult people wouldn't want any one-on-one duels, giving others a chance to delay time.
If it were one-on-one, Tian He should be able to fight Dongfang Bubai for quite a while. Adding two people of Tian He's level would also be enough to take down Dongfang Bubai, but the time required would be much longer.
In Hei Xue's plan, they would sweep away the strongest fighters like lightning, then continue killing strong opponents. In the end, more and more people would be killing the strong, becoming more and more efficient!
"Please accept my condolences," Xiaoyao said to Dongfang Wunian.
"I want to personally bury my father," Dongfang Wunian said.
"This doesn't matter. I believe the Demon Cult people won't disrespect the dead. Even if you don't bury him, they'll give your father and others proper burials," Xiaoyao replied.
That's right, in such circumstances, the Demon Cult would give every deceased person a proper burial, even enemies. Everyone would have a gravestone erected, letting them have names and surnames, not becoming nameless lonely graves.
People were already dead - what hatred couldn't be let go? Everyone was the same now. There was no need to make things difficult or deliberately not do anything. When people died, they should be given the most basic burial place and gravestone!!
Therefore, when Dongfang Wunian said she wanted to bury her father, Xiaoyao felt this wouldn't be a problem. This matter would definitely be allowed.
"You take them away. Xiaoyao, come here! Running around everywhere, you made me search hard for you!" At this moment, Sister Hong suddenly appeared and said to Xiaoyao.
"??" Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled. What was the situation?
"There's something we need your help with. We can't open the Demon Palace's main door..." Seeing Xiaoyao's confusion, Sister Hong said very straightforwardly.
"..." Xiaoyao's expression became somewhat strange.
"What are you looking at? Are you looking down on us?" Seeing Xiaoyao's expression, Sister Hong immediately put her hands on her hips and shouted, as if saying "try looking down on us."
"No, I'm not looking down on you. I just think you're too useless. You have the blueprints in hand, how can you still not open the main door?" Xiaoyao waved his hand.
Saying we're too useless - isn't that about the same meaning as looking down on us? But at this moment, no one was going to argue about this.
"Come along. We'll talk while walking. Everyone's waiting for you," Sister Hong directly grabbed Xiaoyao's clothes and dragged him away, while using lightness skills to rush toward the entrance direction at extremely fast speed.
Xiaoyao was dragged away like this. Along the way, Sister Hong felt it was inconvenient, so she directly picked up Xiaoyao. With her strength, she could carry Xiaoyao however she wanted. She was a mature woman, and with a youth like Xiaoyao, what was there to worry about?
Plus, at this time, everyone was very anxious. Who would care how she brought Xiaoyao over?
"Hey, hey, can you put me down? I can walk by myself!" Although Xiaoyao didn't resist, he voiced his opinion.
"You're too slow!" Sister Hong directly rejected this.
"What exactly is going on with you? Why can't you even open the main door? What's the difficulty?" Xiaoyao asked at this moment.
"I can't explain this clearly either. I'm not very good at these things. Let Hei Xue explain it to you!" Sister Hong didn't answer Xiaoyao's question. Anyway, they'd arrive soon - let the professional person answer.
"Then be careful and don't channel your energy into your hands." Xiaoyao said.
"Don't channel energy into my hands?? Oh, you're afraid my Red Practice Hand will hurt you, right? Don't worry, you can't die yet. I won't accidentally kill you. I'll find another opportunity for that later..." Sister Hong said with a smile...
Soon, Xiaoyao was brought to the entrance by Sister Hong. A very large area had already been excavated here. The Demon Cult's efficiency was so fast - they could excavate so much in such a short time.
Now, Hei Xue and the others stood in the excavated area, right in front of that main door. The place had already been cleaned up, not looking at all like it had just been unearthed.
"Sister Hong, don't hold him, he's mine!" Regarding Sister Hong carrying Xiaoyao over, only Hei Xue voiced dissatisfaction. Everyone wasn't surprised, because they all knew why.
"I was just trying to be faster. Besides, I'm the one at a disadvantage carrying him. What's there to worry about," Sister Hong said unconcernedly.
"This still won't do - men and women shouldn't have physical contact!" Hei Xue said.
"Oh look at you. After getting a man, you don't want me as your sister anymore. Before you said you'd share everything with your sister, but now that won't work." Sister Hong teased.
"This is different. Everything else can be shared, but not this," Hei Xue said very seriously.
"How is it different?" Sister Hong continued, finding Hei Xue's appearance very cute.
"It just is!"
"Damn, are you two finished? I haven't said anything, so what are you saying! Quickly tell me what's going on. Why are you blocked outside the main door? Is it because you don't have blueprints, or has something changed?" Xiaoyao couldn't stand it anymore and turned the topic to the main issue.
"According to the blueprints, the mechanism here is very easy to open. If the conditions are met, basically no operation is needed!! But this condition was simple before, but now it's become a bit difficult..." Hei Xue said seriously.
"What condition?" Xiaoyao asked.
"The condition is blood. This door can only be opened by someone with Demon Cult bloodline!" Hei Xue answered.
"??" Xiaoyao was stunned. "Demon Cult bloodline? What does that mean? Are Demon Cult people's bloodlines different from others?" This was the first time he'd heard such a statement. This might be secret information about the Demon Cult.
"According to records, Demon Cult leaders all have Demon Cult bloodline. However, people with Demon Cult bloodline aren't necessarily leaders. They might be Demon Cult elders, or they might just be followers. Among their descendants, if someone is outstanding, they can also become the leader, because as long as you have Demon Cult bloodline, you can practice the most profound Heavenly Demon Technique in the Demon Cult!" Hei Xue said slowly.
"This means there are quite a few people with Demon Cult bloodline, so find them and draw some blood." Xiaoyao felt this problem seemed quite simple.
"There were quite a few, but that was three thousand years ago. At that time, the Cult Master disappeared, and other people also went missing!" Hei Xue said somewhat helplessly.
