The beggar shook his head. "It's not about skill level. When you're out in the world, the most important thing is to have many helpers. The two people beside Yang Yunsui were both experts from the Demon Sect back then, serving as his left and right protectors. Their strength is not much worse than mine. As for Han Qianzhi, he will never amount to anything if he fights alone."
Xiao Yuhan stopped talking and stared intently at the audience.
At this moment, Yang Yunsui, while playing the zither, laughed arrogantly and said, "Boy! Who are you to dare to steal my woman?"
The young man in the light blue robe was also in the prime of his life, and continued his actions, saying, "Yang Yunsui! Don't think I don't know you! I, Han Qianzhi, can't stand seeing you members of the Demonic Sect doing evil!"
"Oh? So you're a good little brat from a righteous immortal sect? Han Qianzhi... I remember now, what? Aren't you at home waiting for your mother to breastfeed you? The child sect leader of Kunlun Immortal Sect dares to make a scene here?"
Upon hearing this, Han Qianzhi's face turned extremely cold. Over the years, everything he did had been restricted by his mother. Despite being the future sect leader of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, he had never been able to do what he wanted. Yang Yunsui's words undoubtedly hit a nerve, making him feel extremely embarrassed. He even stopped playing the zither and prepared to draw his sword.
Xiao Yuhan smiled slightly from upstairs: "Han Qianzhi is a hothead, but Yang Yunsui's mouth is too sharp. One is the son of your former master, and the other is your own nephew. Are you really planning to not help either of them?"
The beggar shook his head. "Master Xiao, please don't joke. If I make a move, won't you also have to make a move?"
"You mean you can stop me if I make a move?" Xiao Yuhan continued drinking, his face bearing that unchanging smile.
"I didn't say that, but Master Xiao, have you noticed Bai Yuanzhou? He hasn't made a move yet. I wonder what he's waiting for?"
Xiao Yuhan chuckled softly, "Your attempt to divert attention is too obvious. What? Are you really so eager for your fellow Daoist to die?"
"There's no doubt he came for the Azure Pearl, and that directly conflicts with you!" the beggar emphasized once again.
Xiao Yuhan could sense that Han Xiong wanted to get rid of her, and she became increasingly curious about his purpose for coming. So she asked again, "But I still want to know why you came here!"
The beggar seemed lost in thought. His gaze then turned to the opposite side of the second floor, where a white-haired woman sat quietly, calmly drinking tea, seemingly unconcerned about what had happened there.
Han Xiong suddenly said, "The person we've been waiting for has appeared. Does Master Xiao know where Jiang Ruoning's Azure Water Pearl came from?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan replied, "My junior sister said that this Azure Water Pearl comes from beyond the South China Sea and is extremely rare. Is there some other explanation?"
"Master Xiao, have you ever heard of the Demonic Disciple?" The beggar's expression suddenly became unusually serious.
Xiao Yuhan was also stunned. He didn't expect to hear this term here at this time. He immediately asked, "I've heard it before. What does it have to do with the Azure Water Pearl?"
The beggar shook his head. "Many years ago, I met a demon disciple. She also had a Jade Water Pearl. I knew they were all immortal monsters, so I wanted to test if they were really unkillable. But I killed that demon disciple, and the Jade Water Pearl fell into my hands. But later... a woman took the Jade Water Pearl from me. This woman was also a demon disciple, and the Jade Water Pearl seemed to be very important to her. I lost, and in order to save my life, I handed over the Jade Water Pearl. Later, she didn't kill me, or rather... she disdained to kill me."
"A woman? Judging from your description, that woman must be very strong."
The beggar nodded, then looked at the white-haired woman on the opposite side of the second floor. "It's her. I wouldn't mistake her even if I were reduced to ashes. Moreover, she's not only a demon disciple, but also a powerful demon. In terms of cultivation, she's probably already above the Dao Integration stage!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan looked at the white-haired woman with great surprise. There was not a single Dao Integration Realm cultivator in the current immortal sects. If it was true, then no one in the current immortal sects could withstand her sharp edge. However, upon further thought, it was not easy for the demon race to cultivate. It often took thousands of years to achieve Dao. It was not surprising that there was a great demon who had hidden himself from the world. But why would Han Xiong say that she was a demon disciple?
Xiao Yuhan turned his head to look, and the white-haired woman seemed to sense his gaze. She turned her head and looked at him back. Her eerie fox-like eyes sent chills down one's spine. Suddenly, the woman disappeared without any warning. She vanished right before Xiao Yuhan's eyes. Even with Xiao Yuhan's cultivation level, he couldn't understand how she had disappeared.
"Han Xiong! Did she hear us talking?"
The beggar's eyes widened, and he instantly teleported to the opposite side. Xiao Yuhan followed. Only a faint fragrance and a cup of steaming tea remained. The two looked at each other, and the beggar's expression turned somewhat grim. "No rush. As long as I guard the Jade Pearl, I should still be able to find her."
Xiao Yuhan asked, puzzled, "What do you want with her? And you just said this woman is a demon's disciple? What proof do you have?"
The beggar frowned. "Because she said the demon disciple I killed was one of hers. How could a demon disciple be one of hers? Unless she is also a demon disciple. For so many years, I have never understood what the Heavenly Demon Abyss is, why so many demon disciples come out of it, and even powerful figures like that white-haired woman. I feel that one day they will become a scourge to this world, so I have been investigating them. But they have always been secretive. I have killed quite a few demon disciples over the years, but I also know that the white-haired woman seems different. She is not on the same level as ordinary demon disciples at all."
Xiao Yuhan stood there, stunned. He remembered Su Li, the Su Li in his master's portrait. He had heard from his senior brother, the sect leader, that there was a type of high-level demon disciple who could possess their own soul. Could this female demon be the same type as Su Li?
Thinking of this, he was already somewhat uneasy. He had come to the Kunlun Immortal Sect for a Azure Water Pearl, but such a small matter had actually involved the Demonic Disciple. But what he was more concerned about now was the place Han Xiong had mentioned. "You just said you came from the Heavenly Demon Abyss? Is that the place that people call the Western Wilderness Plains at the End of the Sun?"
"I overheard it by chance. That white-haired female demon said she came from the Heavenly Demon Valley. Is Daoist Xiao also interested in them?" The beggar's eyes became very deep.
Xiao Yuhan shook his head. He felt increasingly confused about the matter. The system said that Bai Yao's past life was Su Li, but the Su Li he met was a high-level demon disciple in his master's painting. And this Su Li was "it". Now another high-level demon disciple has appeared. What is the relationship between the two? Or what is the relationship between the Heavenly Demon Abyss and "it"?
