Song Xiwei remained silent. Ao Qian was currently using her identity, and when speaking to Lian Ce, his expression was icy cold. "Why did you summon me here?"
Lian Ce smiled and said, "You must be tired from your journey. Sit down and have some food to eat and rest for a while. Don't be shy, I'll be right back."
Lian Ce's gaze did not linger on Song Xiwei and Ao Qian.
Leaving a few young men and women to serve him, Lian Ce led the others away.
Because there were other people present, Song Xiwei and Aoqian communicated by telepathy.
"You were right, Lian Ce is acting strange!"
“Yes, he wasn’t like this when I saved him last time,” Ao Qian replied.
Song Xi frowned slightly. "Could it be because when you healed him, the power you transferred to him was too much for him to process, causing him to suffer a qi deviation?"
Aoqian shook his head. "Do you think I'm stupid? What I gave him was naturally filtered, and I wouldn't reject him. As for why he was like that, I can't explain it. In short, he gave me a strange and uncomfortable feeling. It's fortunate that I came with you to the appointment this time. Otherwise, if it were just you alone, I really don't know what would have happened."
Song Xiwei's heart sank. "If I had known he would become so strange, I would have refused to go to the appointment. Besides, these are turbulent times, and it's better to avoid trouble. Do you think it's too late for us to retreat now?"
Aoqian was amused by her words, "What are you thinking? Lian Ce has probably already laid an ambush. If we retreat, we will only alert him. So why bother to come to the appointment?"
Song Xiwei: "I'm just afraid of implicating you. Now that you're with me, I have to be responsible for your safety."
Ao Qian laughed and said, "Fortunately, we had the foresight to know that we had switched identities. Let's see what tricks he's up to first, and then we'll act accordingly."
Song Xiwei expressed her agreement.
Not long after, Lian Ce returned.
"I'm sorry to have kept you both waiting."
As soon as Lian Ce finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and soon, many men and women arrived.
These are not cultivators, but ordinary people...
They were all wearing chains, and their faces looked abnormal, as if they were being controlled by something.
"Brother Lian Ce, what do you mean by this?" Song Xiwei pointed at the men and women, who were just ordinary people who couldn't even kill a chicken.
"Your benefactor is from the Demon Clan, isn't he?" Lian Ce asked Song Xiwei.
Song Xi narrowed his eyes but did not answer. Ao Qian interrupted him, "There's no need to beat around the bush. What exactly do you want?"
"Brother Song is indeed a straightforward person. Actually, the reason I came here is to ask you to help me surrender to the Demon Lord." Lian Ce said, bowing solemnly to Song Xiwei.
Song Xiwei glanced at Ao Qian.
Ao Qian said calmly to Lian Ce, "You want to abandon your identity as a cultivator and join the Demon Clan?"
"As one of the representatives of the cultivators, I want Brother Song to persuade the Demon Lord to unite the cultivation world and the demon world and divide up the human world." Lian Ce's words were undisguised, his ambitions were openly revealed.
Song Xiwei's expression was not good.
In comparison, Aoqian was much calmer.
"Can you represent the entire cultivation world?" Aoqian asked Lian Ce in return.
As Lian Ce spoke, he took out a token. "This is a joint spiritual talisman from the major sects of the cultivation world. I am here as a representative of the cultivation world. We are very sincere. These young men and women are the heirs of the royal families and wealthy merchants in the human world. With them in control, we are not afraid of the human race behind them making any rash moves."
Song Xiwei couldn't bear to watch any longer, especially when Lian Ce said those words. The young men and women who were chained up became visibly agitated, but they struggled painfully because they were being controlled by something.
