Seeing the Demonic Sect Master's face turn pale, she said casually, "If it weren't for the three Demonic Saints' integrity and their willingness to die rather than retreat, the Demonic Sect Master wouldn't be the only one standing out now."
She utterly destroyed the image of the Demon Sect Master, yet she appeared completely at ease.
"Father." The girl sitting next to the Demonic Sect Master, seeing that he was about to get angry, hurriedly pressed down his hand, showing some worry.
The so-called half-step Mahayana is not Mahayana after all. The Demon Sect Master has recently overdrawn a lot of his energy in order to intimidate the entire demonic sect. If he gets entangled with the Lingxiao Dao Venerable...
The Demon Sect Master could barely contain his anger. He was arrogant his entire life, yet he had been repeatedly humiliated by Shen Wangshu, and a murderous intent had taken root in his heart. Demonic cultivators valued killing and evil arts above all else; he wished he could refine Shen Wangshu, imprison her nascent soul, and condemn her to eternal damnation. However, he then saw the fox in the female cultivator's arms suddenly raise its little head, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and let out a low, murderous growl at him.
The fox was round and cute, but its eyes gleamed with a chilling light, as if it would tear you apart at any moment.
The Demon Sect Master's eyes narrowed.
He always felt that the fox looked somewhat familiar.
The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, but he suppressed his anger and refused to provoke Shen Wangshu's perpetually annoying mouth.
Just as the only sounds coming from the main hall were the carefree munching of the black fox on its elixir and Xiao Xuan's little head following the Demon Sect Master, a naive laugh rang out. Then, a sweet and innocent girl in red entered, dragging a handsome young man along. Her smile was as radiant as a blooming flower, carefree and luminous, seemingly illuminating the entire hall.
"Father, do you think Xizhi is a genius?" she said with a smile, pulling Yue Xizhi up to the Demon Sect Master.
Out of the corner of Shen Wangshu's eye, she saw that she had subtly pushed aside the other daughter of the Demon Sect Master.
Clearly, in the world of demonic cultivation, where kinship is not highly valued, even sisters from the same father can have fierce rivalries.
Shen Wangshu looked at the newly arrived girl and smiled faintly.
She subconsciously touched her chest, trying to recall how much pain Lingxiao must have felt when this girl stabbed him in the heart with a demonic weapon.
After many twists and turns, Yue Xizhi was probably very lucky, as the women from his past gradually gathered around him.
Ling'er was one, and this girl, seemingly named Yiyi, was another. This girl named Yiyi was less skilled in cultivation than her sister, and her appearance was also somewhat inferior. Clearly, she wasn't as favored by the Demon Sect Master as her sister. However, she was very good at being charming and didn't care at all about the Demon Sect Master's indifference towards her, simply smiling happily. Shen Wangshu couldn't help but think of her previous life, when Lingxiao was also captivated by her smile, mistaking her for a pure and lovely girl.
But the girl stabbed her to death in return.
Now, Shen Wangshu thinks back to the time when Yiyi stabbed Lingxiao to death and shattered her nascent soul, perhaps it wasn't just for Yue Xizhi.
More likely, it was to curry favor with the Demon Sect Master.
Lingxiao Daozun once severed the arm of the Demon Sect Master. Demon cultivators are known for their deep-seated grudges, and this hatred is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea; how could they possibly forget it? Just look at how the Demon Sect Master, who is only at the half-step Mahayana stage, has come to Guangming Sect to cause trouble for Lingxiao Daozun.
In her previous life, how could Yi Yi possibly have obtained a high-level demonic artifact capable of killing a Nascent Soul cultivator? Only now did Shen Wangshu realize this. She should have assured the Demon Sect Master that she would kill Ling Xiao, obtain the demonic artifact, and then perform a great service to gain the Demon Sect Master's favor. Only with her father's favor could she truly wield immense power in the demonic path.
Perhaps that's why Yue Xizhi cared about her even more.
She's a clever girl, but unfortunately, she ran into Shen Wangshu and has to get her revenge.
Shen Wangshu looked at Yiyi, a slight smile curving his lips.
Perhaps... she doesn't need to wait for Yue Xizhi to achieve fame and success, otherwise it would be many years before that time comes.
Now that everyone is here, we can start doing some fun things.
The fox seemed to sense her concern for Yiyi, narrowed its eyes, glanced at the girl, and snorted disdainfully.
She's not even as pretty as a fox.
"Sit down." The Demon Sect Master treated Yi Yi rather casually, without showing any affection.
In a dog-eat-dog world, he would naturally prefer the more outstanding daughter.
He pointed at Yiyi, but his gaze fell on Yue Xizhi, whose face was tense, for a moment, and then he suddenly asked in confusion, leaning over to grab Yue Xizhi's wrist.
This action was terrifying, and Yue Xizhi's face turned deathly pale. Just as he was about to break free, he saw the Demon Sect Master looking at him with an uncertain expression. He seemed to pay special attention to Yue Xizhi, beckoning him to his side and trying to soften his expression into a friendly one, asking gently, "Are you... a disciple of the Guangming Sect?" Seeing the young man nod with pursed lips, his eyes flickered.
"This disciple is actually an excellent cultivation prospect. Your sect is truly fortunate." He said to the sect leader of Guangming Sect with a smile.
At this moment, the fierce and murderous intent that had been on his face was gone.
The sect leader of Guangming Sect silently glanced at Yue Xizhi, whose face showed a faint smile, and casually said while shaking his Taoist robe, "This disciple is ordinary. The sect leader is too kind."
"You call this kind of talent ordinary?" The Demon Sect Master laughed, then his face darkened. "Your sect really likes to joke."
“Brother Xizhi, Father likes you very much.” Yiyi looked up and showed her genuine affection for Yue Xizhi.
She seemed captivated by Yue Xizhi's handsome appearance, his beautiful eyes gazing at her with tender affection. She was of noble birth, the daughter of the Demon Sect's leader, and also an innocent and carefree girl who genuinely loved him. Yue Xizhi's heart fluttered. He subconsciously glanced at Shen Wangshu to the side, seeing her gently combing the fur of the fox in her arms with a beautiful jade comb. The fox hummed contentedly, and Yue Xizhi's gaze dimmed instantly.
