"Master, what's wrong...?"

Inside the Emperor's Banner, Cang Xixue keenly noticed the change in Gu Jian's expression.

Gu Jian asked calmly, "Who is the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer to you?"

Cang Xixue said, "He was one of the many disciples I took in back then."

Gu Jian was surprised and asked, "You have other disciples?"

"Um!"

Cang Xixue nodded, and then her expression darkened as she said, "I originally had five disciples."

"Among the five disciples, Tianming is the least talented."

"But years later, he was the only one who survived. So, I passed on the lineage of Demon Sealing to him, making him the successor to me as the Lord of Demon Sealing!"

"oh?!"

Jian was immediately surprised.

He knew that the Tianming that Cang Xixue mentioned was the Eighth Generation Demon Sealing.

Cang Xixue was immersed in the sadness of the past.

Gu Jian, however, detected something different.

Looking at Cang Xixue's ethereal and perfect face, Gu Jian asked, "Of the five disciples, only one survived. How did the other four die?"

Cang Xixue didn't know why Gu Jian asked this, but she still answered, "Most of them died during their respective trials."

"Some were bitten to death by demons, some died from poisoning. Others were ambushed and killed by their enemies."

"In the end, I avenged them all. But those who died can never come back to life."

"My disciples, they're in such a terrible state..."

At this point, Cang Xixue's expression became even more distressed.

She also blamed herself.

Back then, the dignified seventh-generation demon-sealing master couldn't even protect his own disciple.

Gu Jian pondered for a moment and said, "They are indeed in a terrible state, but something feels off to me."

Cang Xixue said, "Something's not right."

Gu Jian said, "Perhaps their deaths have other reasons, possibly related to the Eighth Generation Demon Sealing."

"What?!"

Cang Xixue was stunned and said, "How is this possible?"

Gu Jian smiled and said, "What's impossible? They died, and it took eight generations of demon sealers to inherit your legacy. If they hadn't died, he wouldn't have been able to inherit it, would he?"

Cang Xixue paused, then said, "You're right, but they are close relatives and fellow disciples."

Gu Jian smiled. "Ye Chen is still my junior brother. But what has he done?"

Cang Xixue's body stiffened again.

Of course, he knew what Ye Chen had done.

Ye Chen was trying every means to kill his senior brother.

Gu Jian meant...

The deaths of her four disciples were all related to the Eighth Generation Demon Sealing Heavenly Underworld.

But how could that be?

Cang Xixue could not accept it.

Looking at Cang Xixue's appearance, Gu Jian guessed what she was thinking.

Then, Gu Jian said, "I'm not actually sure if he did it."

"However, we can just search the soul directly. Once the soul is searched, the truth will be revealed."

Cang Xixue was stunned and said, "No, Master, don't do this. Tianming is extremely weak right now. If you search his soul, he might be completely destroyed."

Gu Jian sneered and said, "What does his soul being scattered have to do with me? He and Ye Chen were working together to deal with me, so his soul being scattered is his own fault."

"Of course, I can also choose not to search the soul and just kill him directly without any problem."

Cang Xixue was taken aback, only then realizing that Gu Jian could kill him with ease.

Gu Jian chose to search her soul simply to give her an explanation.

It was to take care of her feelings.

Cang Xixue didn't know what to say.

As a servant bound by a soul contract, she obeyed his every word and followed his every will.

At this moment, Gu Jian's words actually touched Cang Xixue a little.

Then, Cang Xixue bit her red lips and said, "Master, if he is truly innocent, I hope to give him a chance to reincarnate."

Gu Jian chuckled coldly twice, then remained silent.

He called Nawa over and said to her, "Nawa, there is an eight-generation demon-sealing soul in Ye Chen's cave. Go in and search his soul."

"Yes, Master!"

Nawa possessed unparalleled beauty, with silver hair like frost, a slender figure, a delicate waist, and long, beautiful legs.

She nodded slightly and then stepped into the treasure cave.

Nawa walked with elegant steps to the eighth-generation demon sealer who was sitting cross-legged in the medicine garden.

Her expression was indifferent. She then raised her hand and placed it on the illusory head of the eighth-generation demon sealer.

The eighth generation of demon-sealing souls, trapped in a deep slumber, were completely unaware that a crisis was imminent.

It wasn't until Nawa activated her soul-searching technique that the eight generations of sealed demon souls were disturbed.

He suddenly opened his eyes, then looked on in horror.

"Damn it, what are you doing here?"

"Little Leaf, don't search my soul!"

"Ah ah..."

Before the words had even faded, the Eighth Generation Demon Sealing let out a heart-wrenching scream.

At this moment, Cang Xixue had already emerged from the Emperor's Banner and stood beside Gu Jian.

Her divine sense also swept into the cave treasure, and she watched nervously as the eighth generation of demon sealers were having their souls searched.

Cang Xixue bit her red lips tightly, but ultimately did not intervene.

After the soul search ended, the eighth-generation demon-sealing spirit, which had become even more transparent, fainted again.

Nawa, inside the cave, looked up in Gu Jian's direction and said, "Master, this person has indeed killed many innocent people."

"He killed his three junior brothers and one junior sister. His goal was to become the sole heir of the Demon Sealing lineage."

Nawa spoke calmly.

Gu Jian nodded.

As expected, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked as well.

This is yet another "Ye Chen"!

Cang Xixue's eyes widened in disbelief.

Her illusory body trembled slightly. "How could this be? How could Tianming do such a thing!"

"He cares so much about his fellow disciples, how could he do such a thing?"

"If he did it, how could I not know..."

Gu Jian smiled and said, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. It's perfectly reasonable for them to do these things in order to become the sole heir of the Demon Sealing lineage."

"As for you, why don't you know? Do you think you would still pass on the Demon Sealing lineage to him if you did know?"

Cang Xixue's body stiffened instantly.

Of course she wouldn't.

Gu Jian added, "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can search his soul again!"

"Although you are a soul, with your abilities, you should be able to do all this."

Cang Xixue's body stiffened.

How could she not believe it? As Gu Jian's soul servant, she believed Gu Jian's words one hundred percent.

This incident was just too shocking for her to believe.

Cang Xixue was breathing heavily.

Her emotions were extremely turbulent, and all her resentment eventually turned into anger. A strong killing intent surged in her eyes as she said, "Master, let me kill this traitor."

Gu Jian was surprised, but then nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you."

"Nawa, come out."

"Yes, Master!"

Nawa stepped out of the cave with her long, slender legs.

Then, Cang Xixue's illusory body stepped inside.

Gu Jian watched as Cang Xixue approached the Eighth Generation Demon Sealer, and saw the murderous intent emanating from her.
