"So what if I am? So what if I am not? You've come here to seek revenge?" Xiao Feng gripped his spirit sword tightly, looking at the Heavenly Demon Sect Master before him, ready to strike at any moment.
"Of course not, I'm grateful to you, how could I possibly seek revenge against you!" The words of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master surprised Xiao Feng.
Although Xiao Feng was surprised that the Heavenly Demon Sect Master would say such a thing, he still did not let his guard down and continued, "Are you joking with me? Your beloved concubine died at my hands, and instead of seeking revenge, you come to thank me?"
The Heavenly Demon Sect Master probably knew this was absurd, so he waved his hand at Xiao Feng and the others and explained, "What concubine? I wish she would die sooner."
"If I weren't worried that killing her would cause me trouble, I would have strangled that bitch long ago. Anyway, you've helped me solve a big problem, so I won't lay a hand on you."
“I used a secret technique to come here specifically to confirm whether Hu Xuan was really dead. Now it seems that she is completely dead. It was worth all the effort I put into luring her here.”
"To be honest, even if you hadn't laid a hand on her, she wouldn't have made it out of here alive. But the fact that she died at your hands is more fitting than if I had arranged it myself."
"Thank you, Your Excellency. These are my gifts to express my gratitude. I hope you can keep my visit to you today a secret."
After leaving behind a few treasures, the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect simply turned and left.
Xiao Feng only relaxed after Xiao Feng's figure had completely disappeared at the end of the road.
Looking at the treasures that the Heavenly Demon Sect Master had placed on the ground, Xiao Feng did not touch them easily. Instead, he asked the system if there was anything wrong with those treasures.
After scanning, the system informed Xiao Feng that the treasures were all of excellent quality and had no problems.
Xiao Feng then carefully put the treasure into his storage bag.
The figure of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master had completely disappeared.
After collecting the treasures, Xiao Feng asked, bewildered, "Could it be that all the information we heard before was wrong?"
"But isn't everyone saying that the Heavenly Demon Sect Master dotes on his concubine Hu Xuan, and that Hu Xuan's status in the Heavenly Demon Sect far surpasses that of the Sect Master's wife?"
Everyone says that, so it can't be that everyone knows the wrong information.
If this matter is wrong, why didn't the Heavenly Demon Sect Master stand up to clarify it before?
Moreover, even Hu Xuan publicly proclaimed that the Heavenly Demon Sect Master doted on her.
It's impossible for Hu Xuan's status in the Heavenly Demon Sect to be higher than that of the sect leader.
Zhao Yuwei and Su Xueqing, who were equally puzzled by this situation, exchanged a glance and considered another possibility.
Hu Xuan seems to have a special constitution.
Previously, it was rumored that the Heavenly Demon Sect Master favored Hu Xuan because of her special constitution.
But judging from the way the Heavenly Demon Sect Master acted just now, he clearly didn't have any real feelings for Hu Xuan, and even really wanted to get rid of her.
That's why, upon learning of Hu Xuan's death, he became so excited that he used other methods to enter the ancient secret realm.
Could it be that Hu Xuan has another identity that makes the Heavenly Demon Sect Master so happy?
For example, was she a spy planted within the Heavenly Demon Sect by someone else?
But if Hu Xuan really had such an identity, why didn't the Heavenly Demon Sect Master just kill her?
This is somewhat puzzling.
Su Xueqing said sarcastically, "No matter what the situation is, it is clear that this Heavenly Demon Sect Master is eager to get rid of Hu Xuan, but he must be under some kind of restriction, unable to take the initiative to kill Hu Xuan, and unable to show Hu Xuan coldness."
"So the reason why the Heavenly Demon Sect Master sent Hu Xuan here when the ancient secret realm opened was originally with the idea of using someone else to do his dirty work. However, he did not expect that Hu Xuan would bring trouble upon herself and offend us."
"Since this wasn't part of his original plan, he wanted to come and check it out in person. We helped him out of trouble, so naturally he wanted to give us something to thank us."
What Su Xueqing said does match the current situation of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master.
But the problem is, is it really necessary to make such a fuss over something as trivial as Hu Xuan?
The strength of the Azure Sea Sect is not as great as that of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Even if Hu Xuan is the daughter of the sect leader of the Bihai Sect.
Ultimately, a daughter with mediocre cultivation talent could only serve as a bargaining chip for a marriage alliance.
The fact that the Heavenly Demon Sect Master doted on him was known throughout the cultivation world.
Xiao Feng and the others have just confirmed that Hu Xuan is a good-for-nothing.
Hu Xuan alone is not enough to make the Heavenly Demon Sect Master so wary.
The Azure Sea Sect is not something that would make the Heavenly Demon Sect Master so wary.
Then there's only one other possibility: there's actually someone else behind Hu Xuan.
But who that person was, and why he sent Hu Xuan to the side of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master, remains unknown.
Seeing that the truth of the matter was shrouded in mystery, Xiao Feng and the others had no interest in Hu Xuan to begin with.
They simply dealt with someone who was deliberately causing them trouble.
Perhaps they unintentionally ruined someone else's plans, but Xiao Feng didn't care, so they didn't think much about it.
After a brief discussion, they continued to let Taotie lead the way as they searched for the treasures within the secret realm.
…
A few days ago, at the same time that Hu Xuan passed away.
In a dimly lit room, a huge altar was densely packed with many memorial tablets.
In front of each memorial tablet is a spirit lamp.
The spirit lamp in front of the memorial tablet engraved with Hu Xuan's name suddenly flickered.
A few seconds later, the soul lamp went out, and a small wisp of gray air appeared inside it.
"Huh? Hu Xuan is dead?"
An aged voice appeared in the room.
He casually waved his hand, and the gray currents that were originally inside Hu Xuan's soul lamp immediately appeared in front of the old man.
The old man waved his sleeve, and the gray currents transformed into the image of Hu Xuan before her death.
The old man was originally sitting cross-legged in front of many memorial tablets, practicing his meditation.
If he hadn't noticed the change in Hu Xuan's soul lamp, he wouldn't have woken up from his state of enlightenment.
As the old man stared at the fragmented images before him, a red glint flashed in his eyes. As the fragments played, resentment gradually surfaced in his eyes.
Hu Xuan's death is not a pity; she was just one of his pawns.
But Hu Xuan was originally his choice to control the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Having her control over the Heavenly Demon Sect would also benefit her future cultivation.
What's wrong with the Heavenly Demon Sect Master?
Even though he had already taught Hu Xuan how to control the Heavenly Demon Sect Master, news kept coming that Hu Xuan had won the Heavenly Demon Sect Master's favor.
The sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect even planned to divorce his original wife and make Hu Xuan his new wife.
But why did Hu Xuan suddenly die?
Could it be that the Heavenly Demon Sect Master discovered something amiss and deliberately killed Hu Xuan?
With these questions in mind, the old man looked at the fragments of the scene of Hu Xuan's death in front of him.
The scene flashed by quickly, but no unusual figures appeared.
