The voice, of course, came from Jiang Xiaobai.
Now, he was holding the divine Scarlet Deep Rainbow sword and looking at Liu Donghua with a combative grin.
At his side, Mo Yu’s face was icy, his murderous eyes never left Liu Donghua for a moment.
In such a situation, Liu Donghua could only feel his head hum with anxiety!
The outside of the hall was extremely quiet. It was clear, all those people had been killed by Jiang Xiaobai and his group.
In all of Demon Mountain, Jiang Xiaobai had just stormed in with little effort, killing everyone in his way!
Liu Donghua had previously found it hard to believe that Jiang Xiaobai could kill all the disciples of the Demon Sect, with many of them being peak cultivators who had transcended tribulation.
But now, it seemed to him that it was indeed true!
Such brute force made Liu Donghua puzzled. How could Jiang Xiaobai, just a cultivator in the late stage of Dividing the Gods, have such power?
And what quarrel did his Demon Mountain have with him?
“Jiang Xiaobai, there is a saying that it’s wise to keep some leeway in dealing with others. Have we of Demon Mountain really wronged you so much?”
“Even if we intended to sell your information to the ancient clan before, you have killed so many of us from Demon Mountain, so we’re even now!”
“Such a situation can’t warrant the extermination of our sect, could it? Jiang Xiaobai, are the rumors from the Northern State true? That anyone who offends you faces annihilation?”
Liu Donghua yelled through gritted teeth.
His only thought now was to stall for time and wait for the experts of Demon Mountain, who had just left, to return!
Once those people returned, he might have a chance to survive.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaobai saw through his little scheme.
“Waiting for the powerful people of the Demon Sect to come back to save your life?”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, “Don’t bother, even if they rush back, I can kill you at the last second.”
“No matter what, you are certainly going to die, so your only choice is to answer whatever I ask if you want a chance of survival, otherwise, not even a complete corpse will remain.”
At these words, without any response from Liu Donghua, Yang Zhenting, who was heavily injured on the ground, urgently ground his teeth.
“Yes, Demon Master, Jiang Xiaobai is indeed hell-bent on killing us. You don’t know how deranged he is. We didn’t even have the opportunity to activate the formation, and many of us were already killed by Jiang Xiaobai!”
“All the people outside have been killed by them!”
Looking at Yang Zhenting, Liu Donghua was enraged. How did he not realize before that his most senior henchman was such an eccentricity!
But with the current situation, he couldn’t do anything about it. With a mask of rage, he sullenly sat on the ground.
“Ask, I’ll tell you everything I know!”
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.
My, these two… the Demon Master and his henchman… are quite the pair!
In his many years in the Jianghu, he had seen numerous people, yet never had he encountered such brazen characters who readily submitted.
For a moment, he was puzzled. How on earth did these two manage to take Demon Mountain to its current level?
“Alright, I’ll start with my first question. The last time I visited, it seemed like your Demon Mountain was involved in some secret act, exploring some secretive place?”
Jiang Xiaobai asked casually after a moment of thought.
“Correct, we discovered an ancient sacrificial altar, which has an extremely important relationship with our Demon Sect. The Demon Sect had initially dispatched me here to secretly build up our power with the goal of finding that altar!”
Liu Donghua seemed resigned to his fate and immediately informed Jiang Xiaobai.
The location of the sacrificial altar had been discovered, and they had preliminarily sent people to inspect it, confirming that it was indeed the altar sought by Demon Sect.
They were preparing to explore the inside of the altar just a few days ago, but then Jiang Xiaobai caused a disturbance throughout the Northern State and they had to postpone their plans temporarily.
Knowing the general situation, a plan had formed in Jiang Xiaobai’s mind. His enemy was the Demon Sect, and this altar apparently held a very important purpose for the Demon Sect.
Since they were enemies, to make his enemies miserable was Jiang Xiaobai’s greatest joy.
This altar, he must destroy!
“So, another question, your Demon Mountain once dispatched someone to Tianyuan City intending to take away a kid, what was that about? Who assigned you the task and what was the purpose?”
Upon hearing his question, Liu Donghua suddenly narrowed his eyes.
“How did you find out?”
“Nonsense, I was in Tianyuan City at the time and pulled out my sword to help whenever I saw injustice. You of Demon Mountain really were seeking death to kidnap people on my turf!” Jiang Xiaobai scoffed coldly.
Then he saw Liu Donghua’s face change strangely.
“Jiang Xiaobai, I know you have some tricks and plenty of means. However, I would advise you to stay out of this matter.”
“Whether you can stand against the Demon Sect is still an unknown, but I’m certain if you cross paths with him, you’re doomed.”
Upon saying this, Liu Donghua had roused Jiang Xiaobai’s curiosity.
Could it be an exceptional powerhouse was after Huseng?
“Do you know the purpose of them looking for that kid?”
Liu Donghua shook his head, “Of course, they didn’t tell me. I don’t know. They paid us, and we got the job done.”
“Fine, tell me who it is, and I’ll spare your life.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Donghua raised his eyebrows in surprise, standing up and looking incredulous.
“Really?”
“You can trust my word, I never go back on it.”
“Fine, you seem determined to follow a path to your own death, it was the Immortal Sword Sect from the Holy City, and I must tell you frankly, this Immortal Sword Sect is a prominent Sect in the central region.”
Liu Donghua went on to provide Jiang Xiaobai with more clues with thoughtful consideration: “In summary, you can’t be a match for this Immortal Sword Sect, even if your master shows up, he can only die.”
“Jiang Xiaobai, for the camaraderie we once had, I will leave you with this advice, you should weigh your options.”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but laugh. This guy was really quite something.
To become the Demon Master of Demon Mountain, this thick skin of his truly played a great role.
“Alright, I won’t kill you as promised. Let’s go.”
Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes and chuckled, then really led his people away.
This shocked Liu Donghua.
He was even prepared to die at the hands of Jiang Xiaobai going back on his word. The opponent really left just like that?
Was this just an illusion?
Not only was Liu Donghua stunned, Mo Yu and Ao Yan also looked at Jiang Xiaobai incredulously.
It wasn’t until the group had left the Demon Mountain far behind that Jiang Xiaobai revealed his purpose.
“First off, the Demon Master of Demon Mountain failed on several occasions, so the people of the Demon Sect are sure not to let him off. He is doomed.”
“Secondly, the people from the Demon Sect should have arrived there by now. They’ll no doubt learn that we’re heading for the altar to stir up trouble.”
“They’ll surely come by then, and what we need to do is prepare an ambush. Let’s give the people of Demon Sect a good scare first!”
Saying this, a grim smile spread across Jiang Xiaobai’s face.
