Jiang Yining shook her head. "Since she could make Bai Yao control Jun Tan's power, she could suppress Jun Tan's original soul too, right? At least it's worth a try. If it were me, I would capture Xiao Yuhan and Nangong Ling'er. This kind of thing wouldn't be difficult for Tianmojian. In front of Bai Yao, if they didn't comply, I would kill them one by one. Moreover, with Yu Hui's methods, there are clearly more direct and effective ways. Why not do that? Why set up such a complicated scheme? Don't you think some of these schemes seem like they were premeditated, designed to deal with someone?"
Bai Yu snorted and narrowed his eyes. "I see. You're here today to turn me against you. What? Do I look that much like a traitor?!"
His voice gradually grew angry, as if the word "traitor" made him very uncomfortable, even though Jiang Yining hadn't mentioned it or even meant it, Bai Yu was still very angry.
“Aren’t you a traitor? You’ve been a traitor once and you still want a reputation? The world may not know you, Bai Yu, but I do know that the most valiant and skilled demon king under Jun Tan’s command was actually a traitor…” Jiang Yining smiled and turned around.
But the next moment, Bai Yu's hand pierced through her heart. "Jiang Yining! You really are asking for death!"
Jiang Yining smiled slightly, her whole body turned into smoke and dissipated, then gathered again, and once again walked out of the gloomy forest unharmed.
“How could I not be prepared to come see such a dangerous person as you? Bai Yu, don’t resort to violence just because you can’t win. We’re not enemies,” Jiang Yining said calmly.
Bai Yu snorted coldly. He knew that Jiang Yining was not so easy to kill, so he asked again, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Of course, it's to find you a way to survive."
"What kind of way to make a living?"
Jiang Yining continued, "You were once the top general under Jun Tan, why are you willing to be subservient to others? Kill Bai Yao, kill Yu Hui, who will be your match? Wen Xiao? That man is dangerous, but he is not without weaknesses. As for Dan Zhu, her weakness is even more obvious, which is Wen Xiao. I have a way to deal with Wen Xiao. Once these people are dead, you will be the only Demon King. You can even call yourself the Demon Emperor. From now on, the demon race will respect you!"
"Oh? Sounds like you're actually thinking of me... You think I'd believe you? Jiang Yining, get the hell out of here right now, or I'll crush your brains!"
"Why can't you trust me? You can trust Yu Hui, who never tells the truth, just because she promised you second only to the emperor? Look at how many years Wen Xiao has been stepping on your head. Is this what you call being second only to the emperor? Back then, you were treated better under Jun Tan than you were under Yu Hui."
"I think you've misunderstood something. What Yu Hui promised me wasn't 'Under One Person,' but authenticity—the authenticity of living. Jun Tan is good; she's kind and strong, seemingly without a single flaw. But she's boring, clinging to rigid rules unchanged for millennia. Seemingly affectionate, she's actually like a cold puppet, devoid of any emotion. How dull! But Yu Hui is different. Her mind possesses a brilliance, thrill, and excitement never before seen in this world, a mystery that is so captivating. Jiang Yining, what I hate most is following Jun Tan's path—everything is monotonous." "Unchanged, I can only be the blade in his hand, sweeping away those who break the rules. But I'm the one who least wants to follow the rules! What is the nature of the demon race? Jun Tan is clearly the leader of all demons, yet she acts like a human, talking about rules and righteousness—what a load of rubbish! I am a demon, the strongest dragon among the demons! Slaughter, desire, plunder, the survival of the fittest—these are what's etched into my bones. So I don't regret betraying Jun Tan at all. Do you know the thrill I felt when I personally plunged the spear into her throat? So even the high and mighty Demon Emperor can be killed one day!"
"So this is the real reason why Jun Tan died after the great battle? She fought Yu Hui, exhausted her demonic power, and was ultimately betrayed by you."
Bai Yu chuckled coldly, "She deserved it..."
