Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan became more cautious and smiled slightly, "Then, Sect Leader Miao, what do you want?"
The girl stared at Xiao Yuhan for a long time, then smiled and said, "I want your disciple Bai Yao. Hand her over to me, and I can help you become the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
"Hmph! She's just a little girl, what do you need her for?"
Miao Xiaodie leaned closer to Xiao Yuhan and said mysteriously, "Stop acting. I know what you want to do with the girl who is the reincarnation of the demon god, so... I'm just discussing with you how to allocate Bai Yao as a furnace."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan's face turned extremely cold, and his heart was in turmoil. Even if he thought it was impossible, he had to believe that this person was also a transmigrator, just like himself.
After all, in the original story, at this stage, Xiao Yuhan did not reveal any information about wanting to use Bai Yao as a furnace, so how could this person possibly know? Even the Taoist arts of divination and prediction could not achieve such precision and detail.
And with this thought, he seemed to understand why the system had issued a mission to kill Miao Xiaodie. He immediately questioned the system, "Give me a straight answer, is this woman a transmigrator like me?"
"The system can't tell you more, except that she's different from you."
"I remember you said there were eighty-eight people who came into this world before me. Is she one of them?"
"No! But many of those eighty-eight people had received the same mission as you to assassinate Miao Xiaodie, but they all died at her hands in the end. This woman is extremely dangerous. The system advises the host not to be deceived by her, and not to think that you can become friends just because you come from the same world."
Xiao Yuhan didn't intend to reveal his identity to her. After all, their current positions were different, and what if a single word from them led to their deaths? There might be some heartwarming moments between fellow countrymen, but the most terrifying thing was not being able to read people's hearts.
Xiao Yuhan narrowed his eyes and asked, "I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Heh! Xiao Yuhan, it's fine if you don't admit it. Naturally, I won't ask you for people right away. How about this, you think about it, and I'll wait for your reply."
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan had a wicked thought in his mind, and then asked the system, "You tell me, she has been locked in a stalemate with Qiushui Sword for so long, used such a wide-ranging Gu technique, and forcibly stopped the Gu count in order to negotiate with me. Under such circumstances, how much spiritual power can she still have left?"
"System notification: According to the test, Miao Xiaodie's spiritual power is less than 30%. If you launch a full-force sneak attack, she can only withstand one more blow from you at most."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan frowned. "Holy crap, you have this function too? Why didn't you say so before!"
"This feature requires points to redeem, but killing Miao Xiaodie is more important than any other task, so this time it's free to try!"
What are my chances of killing her?
"We have an 80% chance of winning, but the chance of killing her is probably slim!"
"That's enough. Let's ask this troublemaker to leave first!"
Xiao Yuhan no longer hesitated. He thought that even if he were to become a bad guy, he would not stoop to joining forces with someone like Miao Xiaodie. So, he waited for the moment when Miao Xiaodie turned her back and was caught off guard. He drew his Gentleman's Sword. The sword was flashing with lightning. At the moment of drawing the sword, Xiao Yuhan summoned the Azure Lotus Dao Seal to seal off the surroundings.
Miao Xiaodie couldn't dodge the sword strike, and even if she reacted, she didn't have time to resist. After seeing Xiao Yuhan's sinister smile, she understood and smiled slightly, "You really are a treacherous villain. You're finished. I'll kill you sooner or later!"
"Kill me? I'll kill you first today!" Xiao Yuhan gripped his sword and thrust it deeper, twisting the hilt in an attempt to eliminate this threat in one battle.
Miao Xiaodie's body began to emit a purple light, and purple lotus marks enveloped her, seemingly as a means of escape. However, Xiao Yuhan did not hesitate at all. He drew his sword and immediately struck out with a palm. Terrifying lightning exploded in her body, severely injuring Miao Xiaodie with one blow.
Xiao Yuhan gave her no chance to catch her breath, and once again summoned heavenly lightning to strike. Thunder roared and a torrent of lightning struck Miao Xiaodie until she was on the verge of death.
"You...you are really despicable..." Despite being on the verge of death, her expression remained calm.
"A villain? Didn't you say I'm not a good person?" With that, Xiao Yuhan stepped forward, swung his sword, and beheaded her, thinking that she should be dead by now.
But the next moment, a cocoon began to form on Miao Xiaodie's corpse, instantly enveloping it. Xiao Yuhan did not relax for a moment and immediately shattered the cocoon with a lightning spell. "Damn it, what is this? It's impossible for her to still be alive!"
Having read too many novel tropes, Xiao Yuhan, to be on the safe side, began to unleash all the special moves he knew on Miao Xiaodie until his spiritual energy was completely exhausted, at which point he stopped to rest.
"If this guy survives, then I really have no way to help him!"
The words had barely left his lips when, "System detection: Miao Xiaodie's body has been annihilated. System reward: 50,000 points! Congratulations... wait..."
The system's voice suddenly stopped. Xiao Yuhan thought to herself, "Could this be so melodramatic?" So she turned to look at the place where Miao Xiaodie's remains were. There was no movement, but the remaining bones gradually turned into something like silkworm silk.
"What is this?" Xiao Yuhan asked in astonishment.
"The Heavenly Silkworm's molt... she's not dead yet..."
"Holy crap, she's still alright? Is Miao Xiaodie some kind of monster?"
"No... System detection shows that Miao Xiaodie is not a demon, but has been possessed. The real her is not dead yet!"
"Holy crap, what kind of setting is this? Is it that overpowered?"
"System notification: In the original story, Miao Xiaodie's Heavenly Silkworm Divine Skill has been cultivated to a superb level. Even if she turns to ashes, as long as her soul does not dissipate, she can come back to life. Therefore, what is being resurrected now is Miao Xiaodie, not it!"
"It? Who is it? Could it be that this 'it' is the one you want to get rid of?"
"System message: To be precise, it can no longer be defined as a human."
Xiao Yuhan seemed to understand, but he didn't have the strength to fight Miao Xiaodie again. He immediately said, "So you're saying I'm doomed? Whether it's it or Miao Xiaodie, if we fight again, I'll be dead."
"Don't worry, Miao Xiaodie in the original story has no hostility towards you and shouldn't attack you!"
Do I still have those 50,000 points?
"Of course there is. Although the system's mission was for the host to eliminate 'it,' the previous detection confirmed that it was indeed Miao Xiaodie, and the host successfully killed Miao Xiaodie. With the remaining points, a new mission is being issued: track down 'it' and kill it..."
"Wait... don't rush..." Xiao Yuhan stood up, wary of the cocoon that had swelled up again.
