"correct."

In the dead silence, the Demon Lord suddenly remembered something and asked him casually, "You just said that the one who jumped out to cause trouble this time was that Gu Xia again?"

The man's breathing subconsciously became lighter, and he gritted his teeth slightly, "Yes."

Grass.

Even now, thinking about what happened before still makes him feel angry.

Gu Xia - that damn Taiyi Sect's descendant.

If she hadn't suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation, how could he have fallen into such a difficult situation now.

Although he was able to save his life because the Demon Lord still had some use for him temporarily, he probably couldn't escape the punishment for his poor performance this time.

Thinking of the Demon Lord's always changeable temper, the man's face showed a bit of ugliness. Realizing that his emotions were exposed, he quickly lowered his head to hide his strangeness.

The Demon Lord did not notice the change in his expression, or he did not care at all. After all, it would be as easy for him to crush the other party to death as to crush an ant.

"It's her again." The demon lord spoke coldly, as if he remembered something extremely hateful. A trace of ferocity appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is she a ghost?"

Why the hell is it haunting me?

Even though he had never taken her seriously from the beginning to the end, the Demon Lord had to admit that this disciple was the most troublesome person he had ever seen in his life.

Can it be said that it was fate that such a secret arrangement was discovered by the other party by chance?

It was like a ghost that clung to the demon clan.

Previously, the Demon Lord even used such a grand method as splitting the soul. At that time, those words were specifically said to those difficult sect leaders.

The purpose is just to deliberately stab them a few more times in the heart.

After all, he is a great warrior in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so he wouldn't go to so much trouble to deal with a little ghost as soon as possible.

Compared to Gu Xia, he certainly has more important things to arrange.

“It doesn’t matter.” After his brief anger faded, the Demon Lord spoke calmly, “She is just a little incarnation of a deity. Those useless cultivators can rescue her, but that’s all.”

This is both fortunate and unfortunate for Gu Xia.

Fortunately, she became a god at a young age.

This kind of talent would have been considered outstanding even a few hundred years ago.

But unfortunately...

She is a deity, and just a deity.

Such accomplishments might be impressive enough among his peers, but if he were to dream of controlling the battle situation and turning the tide by himself.

It's nothing but a fool's dream.

Not only the Demon Lord knows this, the elders of the five sects must also know it.

He tapped his fingers slowly, again and again, like a venomous snake whispering, "In a world like this, people who are too talented won't survive long."

The man immediately began to flatter him, "Your Excellency, what you are talking about is just a small disciple who took advantage of his cleverness to get a little advantage."

"Alright." The Demon Lord waved his hand, "Watch carefully what happens next. When the time is right, I will go and meet them in person."

This was simply an opportunity to redeem himself and make meritorious contributions. The man was delighted and naturally would not miss it. He volunteered, "Yes."

"I will prepare now and destroy them in one fell swoop." Including that damn Gu Xia.

He added coldly in his heart.

Far away on the other side, Gu Xia, who had been discussing the topic for a long time, couldn't help but sneeze.

"..."

She touched her nose in confusion and looked up into the distance.

Which wicked guy is teasing her behind her back again?

*

"I'm talking to Gu Xia..."

Jin Cancan was frightened by her sudden sneeze. He looked around with the sword in his hand before he breathed a sigh of relief. He swallowed and asked, "Do you really want to get close to them?"

"This is too dangerous." The young man tried to dissuade her from her suicidal idea. "Anyway, your sect's formation looks pretty solid. It looks like they won't be able to do anything to the people inside for a while. Why don't we stay here first and think of a solution when my father and the others really get here."

Jin Cancan patted his chest confidently, "Really, believe me, you have saved me twice, and our Jin family will naturally not stand idly by."

Although he doesn't understand the current situation, it doesn't stop him from being sensible. You know, they only have so many people now, what the hell can they do?

It would be better to hide in the dark for the time being, and then rush forward to add fuel to the fire when his father arrives... No, I'll make other plans after his father arrives.

This way, if anything unexpected happens, there will at least be a chance to buffer.

Damn it, don't underestimate the bond between him and his father.

"..."

Gu Xia rejected his invitation to "stay for a while" and raised her eyebrows slightly, "That won't do. They have already fought right to our doorstep. We sword cultivators have never suffered such an injustice in our lives."

To be honest, if this group of people continues their crazy behavior, they might be able to shit on Taiyi Sect in a few days.

Waiting for someone to come is certainly an idea, but Gu Xia is not in the habit of pinning all his hopes on outsiders.

What's more, she didn't think that the arrival of Mr. Jin and others could solve any problems.

Just as Elder Zhong Yi worried, they couldn't just kill these monks outright.

Although Gu Xia personally thinks that these people in the cultivation world are quite crazy, it doesn't mean that they can just kill them.

Physically destroying the opponent would certainly solve all the problems, but the trouble that would follow would be unimaginable.

So it is best to find another solution before that.

Jin Cancan: “…”

Weren't you quite flexible before?

After failing to dissuade him, he opened his mouth and asked, "So what are you going to do?"

If you can't beat them, join them. Since you can't stop them, it is necessary to be mentally prepared in advance.

"It's very simple."

Gu Xia turned his eyes to the crowd in the distance and curled his lips, "Have you ever heard of a saying?"

"?"

Jin Cancan and other monks slowly asked a question mark.

“It doesn’t matter how many times you use some methods, as long as they work.”

"..."

Jin Cancan only hated his amazing comprehension ability. He understood Gu Xia's meaning almost instantly and slowly widened his eyes, "You want to..."

The next second, Gu Xia spoke happily, "The old method, of course, is to infiltrate the enemy."

She is familiar with this job.

Gu Xia always felt that there was something strange behind all this. If she wanted to find out the specific reason, she had to use her old skills.

There's no better way to spy on the enemy than to blend in.

If so, do it again.

I guess they wouldn't mind her sneaking in to play around, right?
