A Demon's Path

C16

The duo had just reached a spot about ten meters in front of Ling Xiao and company. Just as they were about to rush out, the blood corpse poison coincidentally flared up and paused for a moment.

In that split-second, Wang Batian also rushed forward, throwing a punch towards Zhou Heng. In the morning, he had been beaten up by Zhou Heng until he had no way to retaliate. Now that his enemies had met, he was especially envious and wanted to vent his anger.

With a "pa" sound, it was followed by a miserable scream from Zhou Heng. His body flew backwards for more than ten meters before he crashed into a pile of weapons.

The unlucky Zhou Heng happened to stumble upon a spear buried deep in the ground. The spear point pierced the back of his heart and with a 'puchi', Zhou Heng died.

Wang Batian looked at his own fist in surprise: "When did I become so powerful?"

Demon Soul Master Cheng Yao was also in a tough spot. Fortunately, the one who was in front of him was a level lower than him, Cheng Yu.

Even though Cheng Yu's sword had left a few cuts on his body, he still had the power to escape.

Seeing Zhou Heng's sudden death, Cheng Yao had no intention of staying any longer. After dodging a few of Cheng Yu's strikes, he rushed out.

Cheng Yao was greeted by the besieging of more than a hundred Orange Rank disciples from the Northern Immortal Sect and the Yangquan Sect.

With Ling Xiao adding the Divine Traversal Talisman, each and every one of these disciples had nimble hands and feet, and there was even a hundred people attacking one of them. Their fighting spirit could be said to be as strong as that of Yun Xiao's.

Cheng Yao was surrounded by a group of people. The sky was full of orange attacks, which made his eyeballs turn orange.

Even if one was a level higher, one wouldn't be able to defeat a hundred lower ranked enemies.

"Damn it!" If you want to kill me, I'll drag you all down with me! " Cheng Yao roared loudly. The yellow and dark yellow light of the Soul Chain on his neck intensified!

Seeing the Seven Demons Grandmaster self-destruct his soul chain, Ling Xiao immediately reacted. "This bastard wants to self-destruct his soul chain!" Get out of the way! "

After being yelled at by Ling Xiao, those who had quick reactions immediately fled far away. However, there was still a small portion of them who remained rooted to their spot, at a loss of what to do.

"A bunch of idiots!" Thinking of the people who died when the Seven Demons Grandmaster self-detonated, Ling Xiao cursed in her heart. However, her feet moved as she used a black broom to smash at Cheng Yao.

Ling Xiao actually wanted to kill him before Cheng Yao self-destructed!

Cheng Yu, who had already gone into hiding, never expected that Ling Xiao would still charge up.

"This idiot!" Although she scolded Ling Xiao, she could not hide the worry on her face. "You spent so many crystals on my father. You can't die like this!"

Just as Ling Xiao's broom came crashing down, a "hong" sound rang out and Cheng Yao's body exploded. A ball of yellow devil soul power bloomed!

"Am I going to die here?" A dark yellow light flashed in front of Ling Xiao's eyes, but she thought in her heart, "I can't accept this! If the heavens could give me another chance, I would definitely not rush up … "Hmm?"

The yellow glow in front of Ling Xiao instantly vanished without a trace. He looked to his left and right and saw that his fellow sect members, who did not manage to escape in time, were standing there unscathed. They had blank looks on their faces, as though they did not know what had happened.

"Xiao'er, you are being too ridiculous!" Cheng Qiantai's stern voice came from behind Ling Xiao. However, Ling Xiao's heart warmed as she hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Master!"

Cheng Yu said bitterly, "If you don't have the ability, don't play the hero!"

Cheng Qian Tai harrumphed and ignored Ling Xiao. He turned around and looked at Wang Ba Tian with a dark expression. "Why are there so many disciples of your sect within the borders of my Northern Sisters?"

Wang Batian said with a red face: "The last time we saw the ladies of Floating Red Courtyard in the Beidou City..."

Ling Xiao secretly sneered: Collective? You can find such a crappy excuse, hmph.

Not to mention Ling Xiao, even Cheng Qiantai did not believe him. On the other hand, Cheng Yu scolded, "A bunch of hooligans!"

Cheng Qian Tai waved his hand, signalling for Cheng Yu to be quiet, "Martial Nephew Wang, my eldest disciple Li Yuan Huan should have arrived at your sect by now. You should rest well tonight. Tomorrow morning, Sect Leader Luo will come to pick you up."

"Thank you, Sect Leader Cheng." Wang Batian respectfully bowed to Cheng Qian Tai and left with his juniors.

"All disciples, go back and rest." Cheng Qian Tai flicked his sleeves as he turned to leave, "Xiao'er, come to the medicine warehouse."

"Yes, I'll send you off, Master." All the disciples saluted Cheng Qian Tai, and only Ling Xiao and Cheng Yu followed him out.

The three of them arrived at the main hall of the Beiji Faction. Cheng Qiantai suddenly said, "Yu'er, your aunt has brought some good things for you. Come to my room."

Cheng Yu's gaze turned cold as he pursed his lips. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a word, "Alright."

Ling Xiao had long heard from the two guards, Little Four and Little Five, that the current Sect Leader's wife was not Cheng Yu's biological mother.

The previous Sect Leader's wife, Cheng Yu, was killed by the Demonic Soul Master not long after she was born. Now, this Sect Leader's wife was Cheng Qian Tai's second wife.

Cheng Qian Tai always treated her like a treasure, but Cheng Yu didn't have any good intentions for her stepmother to see. The two women didn't have a good relationship.

After Cheng Yu indignantly left, Cheng Qian Tai used his mental powers to scan his surroundings. When he realized that there was no one around, he sincerely and earnestly said to Ling Xiao, "Xiao'er, it's hard for you to have such thoughts."

Ling Xiao pretended that she could not understand Cheng Qitai's words. "Master, what are you talking about?"

Cheng Qian Tai stroked his beard and chuckled, "You're still pretending to be ignorant. If it weren't for those who didn't manage to escape in time and knew that it was dangerous, would you have rushed forward without a care for your own safety?"

Ling Xiao chuckled dryly but did not say a word.

However, Cheng Qian Tai quickly became serious, "Xiao'er, tell me the truth, why do you kill people without any fear? I heard from Yuan Huan that you destroyed the head of a devil soul master with a sweep of your broom. If it was any other disciple, their first time killing someone would definitely not be as vicious as you! "

Ling Xiao still had a smile on her face, but that smile was extremely stiff.

Cheng Qian Tai's question reminded him of the times when he was young, when he fought over food with a wild dog and ate the offerings in front of his grave.

Sometimes, when he was hungry, he would secretly dig out the corpse and steal the valuable items from the corpse and the coffin in exchange for food.

There were all sorts of people dying in the grave. Ling Xiao, who was used to seeing dead people, was no longer afraid of death.

In his view, when a person died, they would simply close their eyes and not open them. Regardless of how they died, it would be the same.

However, after Ling Xiao had stayed in the Beiji faction for nearly half a year, although some people still looked down on him, there were still quite a few people who slowly accepted him. He already subconsciously saw them as his own family.

No matter how many others died, it was none of his business, but Ling Xiao definitely did not want her family to die in front of her.

Ling Xiao recounted the events of her childhood to Cheng Qiantai. When it came to the topic of emotions, Ling Xiao had even forced herself to shed a tear or two.

After hearing that, Cheng Qian Tai felt pity for him. "What a pitiful child … Alright, in the future, with Master and the Northrest Sect here, you don't have to live that sort of life anymore. "

Ling Xiao had an expression of gratitude as she said, "Since I was young, Master has always been the best to me."

Cheng Qian Tai nodded. Although he did not like this disciple who looked like a beggar in the beginning, Ling Xiao's appearance and temperament had changed significantly.

Furthermore, he had spent so much time and effort on Ling Xiao, and since Ling Xiao was so sensible, Cheng Qian Tai had unknowingly discovered that he had already placed Ling Xiao and Li Yuan Huan in his eyes.

"Alright, you should go rest as well." Cheng Qitai said.

"Yes, Master." Ling Xiao bowed and was about to leave when Cheng Qian Tai suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Xiao'er, how did you know that those two fellows were coming to the Northern Sisters?"

Ling Xiao's heart sank. "So it was discovered by Master!"

How could he dare tell Cheng Qian Tai that he had used the Seven Soul Demon Chain's heroic soul stone's ability to summon a demon soul and control the corpse of a Demon Soul Master to eavesdrop on their conversation!

However, Ling Xiao still answered with a calm expression, "Teacher, your mental strength is very strong. I can sense these two ill-intentioned people wandering around outside."

After Ling Xiao attributed everything to her super strong mental energy, it was not good for Cheng Qian Tai to pursue the matter any further. He could only allow Ling Xiao to leave.

A cold wind blew from an unknown place, leaving Cheng Qian Tai alone in the hall. "Demon Soul Master actually knows that the Energy Spring of the Enchantment is in the Northern Ember Sect. Even the Sect of God Soul Masters is coveting this Energy Spring. It seems that our future days won't be too peaceful …"

Cheng Kantai walked out of the hall, faced the dark sky, and sighed to the sky. "Ancestors of the Northern Sisters, I, Cheng Kantai, am not that powerful. Why, why would I be left with such a heavy burden?"

Another gust of cold wind.

The night was very quiet, very quiet.
