Being stared at by these people, the petite woman’s expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural as she squeezed out a smile and asked timidly, “Do the Elders have any instructions?”
Xiao Baiyi didn’t answer, Yang Kai’s mouth curled into a playful smile. Murong Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and asked, “Du Juan, are you a member of the Demonic Heavenly Law?”
The fellow disciples who had followed her through life and death were actually people from the Demonic Heavenly Dao. For a moment, Murong Xiaoxiao found it difficult to accept. If it was an ordinary person, it would have been fine, but the key was that Du Juan had suffered a serious injury during the battle just now. Her wounds were still bleeding and her clothes were dyed red with blood.
How could such a disciple be from the Demonic Heavenly Dao?
But this was Yang Kai’s speculation, so she couldn’t ignore it.
Two years ago, all the major and minor sects and families had cleared out a large number of spies from the Demonic Heavenly Dao. During that investigation, many of the sects and families had suffered heavy losses. The Azure Sun Temple was still alright, only a few dozen disciples had been found. If this Du Juan really was a member of the Demonic Heavenly Dao, it meant that the investigation two years ago had not been completed, and the entire Azure Sun Temple and even the other sects had countless spies. If such a storm were to occur again, who knew what kind of chaos it would cause?
Murong Xiaoxiao’s heart felt extremely heavy.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the dozen or so Azure Sun Temple disciples all changed drastically as they all turned to look at Du Juan. Du Juan was even more stunned as she immediately said bitterly, “Three Elders, please understand that this Disciple is not a member of the Demonic Heavenly Dao, this Disciple is innocent!”
Murong Xiaoxiao turned to look at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai said lightly, “Whether or not you're wronged is not up to you. Whether or not I’m right is not up to you. Just look into my eyes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Kai’s right eye suddenly became pitch black, as if it had transformed into a black hole that could swallow everything.
Du Juan instinctively looked over, but after just a single glance, she was unable to shift her gaze away. As they stared at each other, the young woman’s body began to tremble and her petite body began to exude a faint black aura.
At first, the black aura was only a few strands and wasn’t very obvious, but after a few breaths, it burst out like a tide and completely enveloped her.
Demonic Qi surged, filling the air with a brutal and violent aura.
There was no need to ask, the answer was obvious. Many disciples of Azure Sun Temple wore shocked expressions, Xiao Baiyi sighed lightly, and Murong Xiaoxiao’s eyes went blank.
After revealing her identity, Du Juan also changed from her previous humble and shy appearance, as if she had become a completely different person. With a fierce roar, she rushed towards the closest disciple.
She knew she wasn’t strong enough and wasn’t a match for any of the Emperor Realm masters present. All she wanted to do was capture a hostage and escape.
The fellow disciple was still in a state of shock and was also injured, so how could they react? By the time Du Juan rushed over, it was already too late to resist, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Death did not come, Yang Kai stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Juan. No matter how the petite woman struggled, she couldn’t break free from the invisible shackles. In this desperate situation, Du Juan sneered, “This world will belong to the Demon Race sooner or later. If you are so stubborn, you will definitely die without a burial site. If you want to live, why don’t you follow me to join the Demonic Heavenly Dao? There is still a chance!”
After her identity was exposed and she was captured by Yang Kai, not only did she not beg for mercy, she even threatened him.
Murong Xiaoxiao’s face was filled with pain… The Du Juan who was easily embarrassed in her memories was not like this.
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “Did the people from the Demonic Heavenly Dao tell you this?”
Du Juan coldly snorted, “In the Western Domain Battlefield, the Star Boundary was forced to retreat again, the Demon Race army is strong, and the Great Emperor fell to the Demon Territory. When the Demon Saint attacks, who in the Star Boundary can stop him?”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “What you know is old news. Now that the Two Worlds Battlefield has changed, I’m afraid you don’t know much about it.”
“What happened?” Du Juan asked coldly.
Yang Kai said, “The Two Worlds Passage has been sealed, the Demon Race’s reinforcements have been cut off, and the Demon Race masters are unable to break through the barrier. Although there are many Demon Race forces on the Western Domain Battlefield, it’s only a matter of time before they are completely wiped out.”
Du Juan was stunned for a moment before coldly saying, “Don’t try to mislead everyone here.”
Yang Kai smiled, “Whether you believe me or not doesn’t matter, it won’t affect the situation between the two worlds.”
Du Juan was silent for a moment before a dangerous aura suddenly burst out from her body and the Demon Qi around her body began to surge, as if she could explode at any moment. At the same time, she sneered, “I’ll wait for you on the Underworld!”
Now that she had fallen into Yang Kai’s hands, she knew she had no hope of escaping, so she directly begged for death. Perhaps it was because her temperament had been affected by the Demonic Qi’s erosion, but she acted quite decisively.
Murong Xiaoxiao’s expression changed drastically as she shouted, “Senior Brother, be careful!”
How could Yang Kai not notice the obvious change in Du Juan’s aura? No matter what it is, it seemed to be some kind of self-destructing Secret Technique, so he quickly used his Demonic Qi to suppress it.
Unable to suppress her, Du Juan petite body began to swell as if it was about to explode admist her laughter.
Yang Kai frowned and with a shake of his hand, the person in his hand disappeared and the dangerous aura also disappeared.
Although it was the Demonic Heavenly Dao, she was still a disciple of Azure Sun Temple after all. It was just that her temperament had been corrupted by the Demonic Qi, so if she could be saved, she might be able to turn over a new leaf. Yang Kai didn’t want to kill her, so he didn’t allow her to self-destruct and directly put her into the Mysterious Small World.
With his Mysterious Small World's dominating strength, suppressing Du Juan’s self-destruction was more than enough.
Sure enough, after being sucked into the Mysterious Small World, the World Energy enveloping Du Juan’s body gradually dissipated and she quickly calmed down.
The sudden disappearance of a living person caused a group of Azure Sun Temple disciples to cry out in alarm.
Xiao Baiyi and Murong Xiaoxiao also wore looks of inquiry, wanting to know where Yang Kai had taken Du Juan.
Yang Kai sent a sound transmission to them and the two of them relaxed.
However, the fact that there was actually a spy in her team made Murong Xiaoxiao’s heart sink. Xiao Baiyi had also brought a team with him, he didn’t know if there were any other hidden members of the Demonic Heavenly Dao.
Fortunately, Yang Kai and Bo Ya both had the ability to perceive the situation, so they only needed to wait for the group of people to arrive and see the result.
“What did you find?” Yang Kai looked down at Bo Ya.
Bo Ya said, “It should be a Secret Technique of the Blood Demon Clan, but I’ve never heard of it before. I’m afraid it was only recently developed.”
The reason why people from the Demonic Heavenly Dao could maintain their consciousness even after being corroded by Demonic Qi was something no one in the Star Boundary could detect. This was something the Star Boudnary had never been able to figure out. If they could solve this problem, perhaps they would be able to discover some flaws when they saw the Demonic Heavenly Dao again.
This was what Bo Ya was studying just now.
Hearing her say that it was a Secret Technique of the Blood Demon Clan, Yang Kai couldn’t help raising his brow as he sent his Divine Sense into the Mysterious Small World and appeared in front of Bai Zhuo and Bai Ya.
Although Bai Zhuo was a Great General under Yu Rumeng’s command, he was from the Blood Demon Clan. If someone from the Demonic Heavenly Dao was a member of the Blood Demon Clan’s Secret Technique, Bai Zhuo should be able to understand it.
At the same time that Yang Kai’s Divine Sense was projected, he summoned Du Juan. The surging Demon Qi had been suppressed and the self-destruction had failed. Du Juan was now unconscious, lying quietly on the ground, recovering her original appearance, her petite body curled up into a ball, causing others to pity her.
“What is it, Brother Yang?” Bai Zhuo glanced at Du Juan and asked.
Yang Kai asked, “I remember Brother Bai Zhuo going back to the Two World Battlefield and Demon Territory several times?”
Bai Zhuo nodded, “That’s right!” After several years of war, he had returned to the Demon Territory several times and also returned to the battlefield several times.
“Since that’s the case, have you ever heard of the Demonic Heavenly Dao?” Yang Kai pointed at Du Juan.
Bai Zhuo smiled and said, “Of course I know. What’s wrong? Is this woman from the Demonic Heavenly Dao?”
“Yes!” Yang Kai nodded, “Bo Ya said she must have been planted with some kind of Blood Demon Clan Secret Art, so i wanted to ask Brother Bai Zhuo to investigate and see if he could save her.”
Hearing this, Bai Zhuo said, “Those people from theDemonic Heavenly Dao were indeed poisoned by my Blood Demon Clan’s Secret Technique, but I don’t know what this Secret Technique is because I’m not responsible for this matter, but I can take a look. As for whether she can be saved, I can’t guarantee anything, so I’ll try my best.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Bai Zhuo.”
“Brother Yang is too polite.”
“That’s right,” Yang Kai suddenly thought of something and asked, “Can a true Demon Race see through the Demonic Heavenly Dao?”
Bai Zhuo looked at the unconscious Du Juan on the ground and said, “I can see that, although the Demonic Qi on her body is quite deep, there are still some traces.”
Bai Ya also nodded, “Exactly.”
Yang Kai thought about it for a moment before raising his hand and summoning another person to his side. It was none other than the first Demon Race member Yang Kai had taken into the Mysterious Small World, Huo Lun!
This guy seemed to be meditating and cultivating. When he was summoned by Yang Kai from his Peak, he was still in a cultivation posture, but after a moment, he realized something was wrong. When he opened his eyes, he was shocked and quickly bowed.
Yang Kai didn’t waste any time talking to him and simply pointed to Du Juan on the ground, “Look at this woman, is there anything special about her?”
Huo Lun didn’t know what was going on, so he carefully observed Yang Kai’s expression before paying close attention to Du Juan. After a long time, he carefully said, “This woman’s figure is small and she’s quite young. As for her appearance… it’s average, her figure is average…” Demonic Blood Dissolution
Yang Kai raised his hand and asked, “Is there anything else?”
“Anything else?” Huo Lun felt a great pressure and swallowed his saliva before asking, “What does Sir mean by…”
“She was contaminated by Demonic Qi.”
“She was contaminated by Demonic Qi?” Huo Lun was stunned for a moment before lowering his head to carefully examine Du Juan before shaking his head vigorously, “I can’t tell.”
This was strange. What Bo Ya was able to see, Huo Lun was actually unable to see, and the difference in cultivation between the two wasn’t too great. Huo Lun was a Low-Rank Demon King after all, if even Huo Lun couldn’t see through it, it could only mean that the Demonic Qi in a person’s body was truly well hidden.
As for Bo Ya, after thinking about it for a moment, Yang Kai could only conclude that she was born with extraordinary eyesight. After all, she was a Feather Demon and cultivated an eye technique, so it was reasonable for her to be able to see things others couldn’t.
