Gu Xia nodded in understanding.

Yes, no matter how angry Elder Zhong Yi and the others are, they have to put the safety of the sect’s disciples first at this moment.

Since they pose no threat for the time being, there is no need to take risks.

However, it is not Gu Xia's character to not react when someone provokes her. It happens that she is outside the sect, the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, so she can take the opportunity to investigate.

……wrong.

Gu Xia's expression froze slightly, and she suddenly remembered a plot point that she had overlooked a long time ago.

She remembered that in the original plot, her senior brothers died around this time.

The sect was also besieged by monks, but the plot has collapsed so much that it is unrecognizable today. No wonder Gu Xia didn't think about it in this way at the beginning.

Now it seems that, although in the original plot, Qu Yimian and her men were the ones who led the Taiyi Sect's trouble, the other party had been killed by her sword before. Although it was still suspected that she was not dead not long ago, that is not important. At least she does not have a role to play now.

There are still a few senior brothers who are probably still struggling with the two tribes and are not in the sect.

The only things that remained unchanged were that the sect leader and half of the elders were still absent, and that the situation was still being besieged by fellow righteous monks.

If that's the case, then...

There must be someone behind this incident.

I just don't know what it came from.

Demons?

Or a demon clan?

No, based on her recent experience, the demons probably don't have the brains to plan these things.

On the contrary, the demons are more suspicious.

And if you calculate it this way, the elders who stayed in the sect in the original plot must have also activated the sect protection formation.

But the final outcome was that these people broke in and shattered it.

Fortresses often collapse from within, and it seems that the sect's internal links are also part of the opponent's calculations.

Moreover, Gu Xia didn't think that relying solely on these people outside could force Taiyi Sect to that point. There must be people hiding in the dark.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. A hint of coldness appeared on Gu Xia's lips. Compared to the oriole, she prefers to be the hunter behind.

When Jin Cancan saw her expression, she couldn't help but shudder.

Depend on.

Why did he suddenly feel that Gu Xia was going to cause trouble again?

Gu Xia was not quite sure about these thoughts, so she put them aside for the time being and then brought up another matter that puzzled her.

"If that's the case, then what does it mean that the demons captured people but asked their families to come to our sect to rescue them?"

Given the current situation outside Taiyi Sect, anyone who comes here would be confused.

Elder Zhong Yi couldn't figure it out either. "Could it be that they thought the situation wasn't chaotic enough and wanted to let those people get involved?"

As he said this, he laughed instead, "How is that possible?"

"..."

After a while, there was no movement from Gu Xia's side. Elder Zhong Yi gradually came to his senses and was greatly shocked. "No way?"

It doesn't make sense.

Those family heads are not mentally ill. Even if they want to save people, they will not agree to such conditions.

There's no need to worry that Taiyi Sect will have time to deal with them in the future.

Gu Xia: "It's just a guess, just in case. It happens to be more convenient for me to move around outside."

"Let's check it out first."

Since she said so, Elder Zhong Yi naturally had no objection and just advised, "Don't be impulsive, be careful, and retreat immediately if something goes wrong. You should know..."

For the sake of the disciples behind him, the circle of formations outside the sect cannot be removed under any circumstances.

Gu Xia understood his concerns.

Judging from the current situation, she couldn't let the elders remove the formation, otherwise the disciples behind her would be in danger.

At least you call me senior sister, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Xia finally gave the other party a vague reminder.

"You'd better pay more attention to the situation in the sect. I'm worried that other problems will arise."

Since it was just a guess, she couldn't say it too clearly, otherwise it would alert the enemy.

"A bunch of trash!"

After learning that the cooked duck could actually grow legs and run away, the Demon Lord's anger can be imagined.

Under the terrifying pressure, he stared gloomily at the demon lying on the ground in front of him with a pale face.

"This subordinate deserves to die."

"Then why don't you die?" the Demon Lord asked bluntly.

In his eyes, useless people don't even have the right to live.

What's more, he can't even handle such a small thing.

The other person's head trembled slightly, but he still stared at the ground and dared not make any sound. He could faintly hear the crackling sound of his body bones in his ears.

The air around me became thinner, squeezing my chest and making it harder to breathe.

He knew that his life was in the hands of the Demon Lord at this moment.

Life and death are just a matter of thought.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally heard the Demon Lord's unhappy voice coming from above his head.

"Are you sure that all the news that needs to be spread has been spread?"

The man did not dare to delay and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty. I have spread the news and I will ensure that everything is carried out according to your instructions."

"very good."

The Demon Lord slowly knocked on the armrest beside him and looked into the distance, "In that case, let's get ready to act."

"I can't wait to see them killing each other."

His smile was cold, with a hint of sarcasm in it, "I guess those people are almost there now."

As we all know, no matter how the cultivation world quarrels with each other, they all attach the same importance to those little guys.

This is true for the five sects and also for the aristocratic families.

Although this behavior seemed quite ridiculous to him, it did not prevent him from using it at the moment.

Two dogs fight, play off.

The Demon Lord summarized the reasons for the failure of the previous attacks, and a light bulb went off in his head, and he actually came up with a good idea.

The cultivation world was merciless when killing the demons, but what if they were facing their own compatriots?

Therefore, the Demon Lord made up his mind to use a group of righteous monks to knock on the gate of Taiyi Sect first, and then they would wait for an opportunity to act.

Anyway, as long as those monks dare to come, everything else will not be decided by them.

after all--

Who would have thought that if the demon clan wanted to successfully implement this plan, Taiyi Sect would be an indispensable part of it.

The Demon Lord was immersed in his own world and laughed to himself, "It is an honor for them to sacrifice the first sect in the cultivation world in exchange for the rejuvenation of the demon race."

By then, the order of heaven will be overturned and the fortune will be reversed.

The entire world of cultivation will have to crawl under the feet of the demons and survive.

The demon clan's thousand-year-old wish will finally be fulfilled in his hands, and it's just around the corner.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The entire dark space was filled with the Demon Lord's uncontrollable low laughter, and then the sound became louder and louder.

The demon cultivator kneeling on the ground hung his head, as quiet as a dead person.

……
