Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 104 Travels (8)

Despite his many doubts, Ji Tinghan could only suppress them and wait for his senior sister to come out.

The grandmaster felt a little bored: "Boy, you're also Xie Jing's disciple?"

Ji Tinghan replied respectfully, "Yes."

"No wonder, he is indeed talented."

"Thank you for the praise, Master."

"..."

"..."

The master's lips twitched: "Still a quiet type."

Ji Tinghan kept his heart full of unspoken feelings to himself. He answered each question his master asked, and if he really didn't want to answer, he pretended not to hear it.

The grandmaster lost interest in playing chess and tossed the pieces aside, saying, "How come my two disciples have such different personalities? Fine, since you're already here, I'll teach you a few moves."

Ji Tinghan's eyes lit up, and he moved closer to his grandmaster: "Please enlighten me, grandmaster."

His attitude was completely different from before, so the grandmaster didn't bother to say anything more.

It's not surprising that Xie Jing's apprentices are any kind of person.

After comforting his master, he began teaching one-on-one.

The other side of the river, however, was not so peaceful.

Outsiders who witnessed this scene would likely be shocked that a righteous disciple could negotiate so calmly with the Demon Lord.

It wasn't that the Demon Lord wanted to negotiate with this reckless girl; it was simply that she carried too many life-saving talismans. Not only that, but she also had a protective aura left by a Nascent Soul expert. He couldn't kill her, nor could he suppress her. The Demon Lord didn't want to waste his energy on her, and yet she kept coming closer, which was incredibly annoying.

"I said, you reckless brat, they only sent you to hold me back?"

The Demon Lord decided not to waste his energy entangled with her anymore. Anyway, once he broke this broken formation, it would be as easy as crushing an ant to kill this brat.

Luo Zai Shui sheathed the Luo Shui Sword, coldly laughing and cursing, "I alone can render the Demon Lord helpless, isn't that enough to demonstrate my strength?"

"How many people in the cultivation world can reach your current strength?"

This is a blatant test.

Luo Zai Shui curled her lips: "I am merely of mediocre talent, and there are many who are stronger than me."

The Demon Lord naturally didn't believe her: "If you were truly mediocre, the old man wouldn't have let you in. Tell me, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

Luo Zai Shui smiled without saying a word, showing no sign of panic. The Demon Lord, seeing her confident demeanor, was somewhat skeptical.

Unexpectedly, Luo Zai Shui suddenly spoke up again: "What the Demon Lord said is true. My master would certainly not send just a girl who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage. I am naturally one of the best among them. However, judging from the current strength of the Demon Clan, if a fight really breaks out, I am afraid that the Demon Clan will not gain any advantage at all."

The Demon Lord was amused by her audacious remarks: "Are you that confident? My Demon Clan has tens of millions of elite soldiers and generals, which are far superior to you bunch of worthless shrimps."

Luo Zai Shui casually conjured up the peach blossom that his master had given him years ago: "Demon Lord, have you forgotten that during the sect competition back then, all the people you sent were captured by us, a bunch of worthless scoundrels?"

The Demon Lord's expression remained unchanged, but one could clearly sense the displeasure emanating from him.

Luo Zai Shui didn't forget to add insult to injury: "The Demon Clan is only able to enter the country now because the Wen family let them pass. Oh, by the way, Demon Lord, you were able to break through the barrier, which must have been thanks to the Wen family's help as well."

These little tricks are no match for the Demon Lord.

"Little brat, are you trying to provoke me?"

"So what if it is?"

With various magical artifacts protecting her, and the Demon Lord now only possessing a wisp of remnant soul, Luo Zai Shui was naturally unafraid. Her only goal now was to sow discord between the Demon Clan and the Wen Family.

This task couldn't be simpler. Since ancient times, immortals and demons have been at odds. Now, if they want to use the power of the other side to develop their own forces, they are not afraid of being bitten in return.

Luo continued calmly on the water's surface, "I'm sure the Demon Lord knows the Wen family's true nature better than I do. He can let the demons enter the country to weaken the strength of other races, so naturally he dares to violate the alliance and besiege the demons. Now that the demons are launching a massive attack, the Wen family is completely silent. Isn't he just thinking of reaping the benefits without lifting a finger?"

The Demon Lord found the little girl in front of him rather interesting. Her words were very purposeful, but every sentence made sense. He had to stop and think about them carefully, otherwise he would be led astray if he wasn't careful.

"If I don't trust the Wen family, do you think I should trust you?"

Luo Zai Shui naturally knew that the Demon Lord wouldn't be so easily tricked. She cleared her throat and said, "Of course, the Demon Lord can't trust the Wen family, and naturally, he can't trust me either. I'm just looking at this matter from a long-term perspective."

"Oh? What did you see?"

This statement piqued the Demon Lord's interest.

Luo Zai Shui didn't mince words: "May I ask, Demon Lord, what is the purpose of your massive invasion?"

The Demon Lord made no attempt to conceal his ambition: "Naturally, it's to plunder territory and then enslave you."

"Coincidentally, the Wen family thought the same thing."

The Demon Lord chuckled inwardly. This little girl's ultimate goal was still to disrupt their cooperation with the Wen family.

"So what? Would my vast demon race fear a mere aristocratic family?"

Luo Zai Shui smiled slightly: "The current demon race is naturally not afraid. But what if there is a great war? At that time, the demon race will be severely weakened, and you, Demon Lord, will also suffer damage to your cultivation due to breaking through the formation. It is still unknown who will win."

The Demon Lord knew that what she said made sense, but he was used to being arrogant. Over the years, he had only suffered losses at the hands of that old man outside, so naturally he did not take the Wen family seriously.

"Two tigers cannot share one mountain." Luo Zai Shui toyed with the peach branch in his hand. "Moreover, the hatred of the various immortal sects for the demon race is greater than that for the Wen family. Even if the demon race enters the country, the various immortal sects will still side with the Wen family to fight against the demon race. At that time, who will be the real winner?"

"What do you suggest we should do?"

The Demon Lord had his own considerations. His cooperation with the Wen family was merely a temporary measure. He sent a large number of demons to war simply to cover his tracks. Once he successfully broke through the formation, he would no longer need the Wen family. At the same time, it would also give his disobedient subordinates something to do, so that they wouldn't have any improper thoughts after he broke through the formation.

Luo Zai Shui seemed to know what he was thinking: "The Demon Lord must also be worried that if he breaks out of the formation, his subordinates will take advantage of the situation, right?"

The Demon Lord, now that he had seen through her, began to re-examine the ant that had been chattering in front of him. She was much smarter than he had imagined.

Luo Zai Shui knew she had made the right bet. She smiled and pointed to the demons behind the Demon Lord: "In my opinion, it would be better for the Demon Lord and us to each take a step back, clean up those treacherous individuals within our clans first, and then think about other things. At that time, who will emerge victorious will depend entirely on their own abilities."

The Demon Lord probably hadn't expected the plan proposed by this person to be so simple: "You're going to take action against the Wen family."

Luo Zai Shui smiled gently: "Isn't that just a matter of time? Why don't we clean up our internal affairs first and then fight? Otherwise, we won't be able to fight to our hearts' content, and neither of us will be satisfied. Don't you think so?"

The Demon Lord chuckled in exasperation: "You little brat, all you're saying is trying to dissuade me. What if I disagree?"

Luo Zai Shui straightened his back: "Then I can only accompany you. Let's deal with the external enemies first, and then clean up our own courtyard."

"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

Luo Zai Shui replied truthfully, "It's just that we are proud and unwilling to be subservient to others."

"Your suggestion is good, I will consider it, but..." The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes dangerously, "You won't go back on your word after you leave, and instead team up with someone to betray me, will you?"

Luo Zai Shui smiled smugly: "Of course not, Demon Lord, please rest assured, we are the most trustworthy."
