Bai Yu probably couldn't understand how Xiao Yuhan could kill him. If it were before, he would never have believed it. Of course, it wasn't just him who didn't believe it; no one in the world believed it either. Although many people in Yingyue City guessed that it was the person who had massacred the demon race in the city yesterday, they were completely dumbfounded when those people on the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall arrived.
They had planned to besiege Kunlun Mountain to rescue Yingyue City, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yuhan beat them to it. In the end, they only found the demon dragon's corpse not far from Kunlun Mountain and failed to meet Xiao Yuhan.
He had actually been waiting there for a long time, and even met someone there.
The woman stood before Xiao Yuhan, and upon seeing Bai Yu's corpse, she understood everything. Looking at Xiao Yuhan, she said, "Elder Xiao, your strength has improved so quickly. Did you obtain some kind of fortuitous opportunity?"
After being recognized time and time again, Xiao Yuhan had become more cautious. After all, she used to be quite famous and knew many people. But since she couldn't distinguish whether the people from before were friends or enemies, she stopped making a fuss.
Thinking that less is more, he immediately put on an act, asking in return, "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Yining smiled slightly: "Although Bai Yu is from Tianmojian, he has reached a certain agreement with me since Yu Hui's death. You can think of him as an ally."
"Oh? So you're planning to avenge your ally?"
Jiang Yining shook her head. "Elder Xiao is such a smart person that he naturally understands that only those who can profit from each other are allies. Bai Yu is already dead, so there is no profit to be made from him. He can no longer be considered an ally."
"You're quite quick to distance yourself, but aren't you afraid I'll cause you trouble by so openly admitting he's your ally?" Xiao Yuhan scrutinized Jiang Yining and could basically tell that Jiang Yining was different from Bai Yu, at least not a demon.
Jiang Yining looked at Xiao Yuhan carefully and continued, "I actually wanted to ask you about Yu Hui."
Xiao Yuhan was taken aback. This wasn't the first time he had heard people mention Yu Hui. This person seemed very powerful and mysterious, and for some reason, Xiao Yuhan felt that she was the first person he had seen when he opened his eyes before, the woman in red.
In order to get some information out of Jiang Yining, Xiao Yuhan played hard to get and immediately replied, "I have nothing to say about this person."
Jiang Yining looked Xiao Yuhan over again and continued, "It's no secret that you went to Tianmojian to find Yu Hui. You can find out with a little effort. I just want to ask about the details of that time. Of course, I won't ask for nothing. If you can give me a definite answer, I might be able to help you in some way."
Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment, thinking that Jiang Yining had to use a deal as a bargaining chip to talk to him, so he was probably not a friend, but he didn't know if he was an enemy or just an ordinary friend.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Yuhan said, "I don't trust you."
"Didn't we have a foundation of trust once before? Elder Xiao, if we're talking about who in the Heavenly Demon Abyss would have goodwill towards the human race, then it's undoubtedly me. I'm originally from the Heavenly Sword Sect, as you know. No matter what I do, even if I'm ambitious enough to establish the Heavenly Dao Sect, it's still based on the human race. I hate the demon race just like you do."
Xiao Yuhan snorted, "You just said you were allies with this demonic dragon. How can I believe you with your contradictory words? Alright, let's not waste any more time. I don't think we have anything to talk about."
Jiang Yining was silent for a moment before continuing, "Elder Xiao, you seem different. Is it just my imagination? You weren't this impatient before."
Xiao Yuhan remained silent, refusing to answer. At this moment, any answer would be wrong, so she simply said nothing.
However, precisely because of this, Jiang Yining didn't care about the issue and directly stated her purpose, "Well then, Elder Xiao, it seems you are really anxious. I'll just tell you what I can do for you. You have a very troublesome disciple. I don't know what her relationship with Jun Tan is, but since she has become involved with the demon race, she is now the biggest enemy, not only your and my enemy, but also the enemy of all the human race in the world. Do you know what Jun Tan means?"
"What does it mean?" Although Xiao Yuhan didn't remember any disciples, he still followed up on Jiang Yining's words.
"That's the faith of the demon race, the supreme demon emperor, equivalent to the most powerful god in our mythology, so... one day you'll have to face this problem, right? Actually, we can join forces on this. Her existence has also brought me a lot of trouble, so you understand, I can do many things that you can't do."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan vaguely sensed that the relationship between the two was rather secretive, but at this moment Xiao Yuhan did not dare to continue the conversation, and simply shook her head, "Let's stop here for now."
Jiang Yining seemed thoughtful. "So, are you willing to tell me about Yu Hui now? Is she dead or not?"
Even if Xiao Yuhan knew, she wouldn't tell someone she didn't trust, let alone have no idea. She immediately smiled and said, "Who would know?"
"You didn't know?"
"I don't know," Xiao Yuhan replied calmly.
"Was Bai Yao there at the time? Did you find out the relationship between her and Jun Tan?"
Xiao Yuhan continued to feign ignorance, saying, "You won't get to ask that, will you? Alright, I don't want to talk about this now."
Jiang Yining wanted to ask something more, but Xiao Yuhan had already turned and left. Jiang Yining suddenly said, "By the way, there's news that Bai Yao was seen in Lingsu City. Aren't you going to go see your precious disciple?"
Watching Xiao Yuhan's silent figure gradually disappear into the distance, Jiang Yining's gaze became increasingly profound.
