Chapter 440: Chapter 210: Half of the Demon Sect’s Sky—The Lone Demon Sword Sect Little Demoness (Part 2)

As these words were spoken.

Many formidable figures of the Demon Sect fell into deep thought, while Mo Ying silently observed everyone. It became apparent that, compared to the cultivators of the Righteous Orthodox Sects, the members of the Demon Sect were undeniably more united and as tightly bound as a single rope. This cohesion was one of the reasons why, over countless ages, the Hundred Sects had not been able to eradicate the Demon Dao.

After Mo Ying finished speaking, only a short while later did someone speak lightly.

"After all, it’s just hearsay. Although the news was relayed by the Little Demon Girl’s spy, the individual is weak, making it difficult to discern the truth from falsehood. I don’t believe it. Can this person really be that terrifying?"

"Mo Ying, don’t scare yourself. A mere ’Peak Spiritual Essence Realm’ ant—rumors always seem greater than reality. In my opinion, this figure is just a tactic by the Righteous Orthodox Sects to shake our morale."

"Hmph, what nonsense about an unparalleled double talent and unbelievable comprehension—it’s all just one-sided claims. In my view, this person is nothing to fear. The more they are hyped up, the more likely they are just an empty name. When the ultimate battle begins, should I encounter this person, a single finger shall obliterate them."

"You can’t say that. If the rumors are true, this person is indeed a major threat to our Demon Sect and might become a lurking danger that decides the battlefield’s outcome."

Some formidable figures of the Demon Sect were dismissive, while others furrowed their brows.

Upon these words, more formidable figures of the Demon Sect fell into silence.

Currently, the acknowledged pinnacle of combat power in both the Righteous and Demonic Dao has the Demon Sect holding only two positions. One is the Little Demon Girl of the Demon Sword Sect, and the other is the Demon Sect’s contemporary first Holy Demon, ’Righteousness Reaches the Skies.’ Even though another terrifying presence exists outside the ’Five Great Divine Mountains,’ overall, the Demon Sect is slightly at a disadvantage.

Of course, the Little Demon Girl and the first Holy Demon, along with other supreme figures of the Demonic Dao, can hold their own against the peak forces of the Righteous Dao. Yet, should a new ’Divine Mountain’ truly rise, it would undoubtedly be a critical point for the entire battlefield.

"I agree with Mo Ying. Perhaps we truly need to send someone to investigate. If the Divine Sword Sect indeed has such a person, it’s a threat of incalculable consequence."

"I also support Mo Ying’s decision. Once confirmed, this person must be killed by our Demon Sect. Under no circumstances can they be allowed to grow, even if it means paying a price."

"This matter is of immense importance, concerning whether the Righteous and Demonic Dao will fully engage in war. We must not take it lightly."

Many formidable figures echoed their support. After all, the ultimate battle between the Righteous and Demonic Dao is not something decided in a day. Once it begins, no one knows how long it will last or how many years of slaughter it will entail. If the Divine Sword Sect indeed has such a terrifying presence, they could potentially grow during this time and threaten the entire battlefield.

Moreover, the battlefield of the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ will determine whether the Demon Dao will launch a full-scale holy war against the Righteous Orthodox Sects. It will also decide the future rise and fall of the Demon Dao. No one dares to take it lightly, and even uncertain rumors require verification.

But the key is, if we are to send someone to the temporary base of the Righteous Orthodox Sects to gather information, who should we send?

Cultivators of weak strength might not even be able to enter the base of the Hundred Sects, while powerful cultivators are more likely to expose themselves. After all, the Righteous Orthodox Sects are formidable, and the Divine Sword Sect alone is unimaginably terrifying. Not to mention the combined strength of the Hundred Sects, those who go might not return.

For a moment, countless formidable figures of the Demonic Dao fell into silence.

It’s evident that although the Demon Sect cultivators are far more united than the Righteous Sects, no one is willing to make a pointless sacrifice.

Just as everyone was furrowing their brows.

Suddenly.

All the terrifying figures of the Demon Sect seemed to sense something as they collectively looked up, simultaneously gazing toward the peak of the Demon Hall.

At this moment, a graceful figure stood at the peak of the Demon Hall, her dress billowing. Though belonging to the Demon Sect, her beauty was stunningly striking, beyond ordinary appearance.

Her presence seemed to make the whole world lose its color. Her breathtaking appearance was in no way inferior to the Divine Sword Sect’s Luo Qingxian, one embodying divine beauty, the other embodying the magnificent allure of the Demonic Dao.

But this was not the most shocking aspect. What was truly shocking was the aura seemingly emanating from that graceful figure, deep and boundless like an abyss. Within her seemingly frail body lay a power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

Even just standing there, without releasing a shred of pressure, it caused one’s breath to become chaotic. Even those terrifying figures of the Demonic Dao appeared diminished in her presence.

The instant this graceful figure appeared, the entire Demon Sword Sect’s base became instantly ablaze with excitement.

"It’s the Little Demon Girl, the Little Demon Girl has returned."

"Truly, the Little Demon Girl has returned."

With her appearance, the sea-like multitude of Demonic Dao cultivators burst into a frenzy, each filled with excitement, gazing upon that realm of the heavens.

With the collective exclamations, countless Demonic Dao cultivators moved simultaneously, whether in the True Self Realm or the Self-Slaying Realm, even all transcendent monsters and prodigies emerged together.

In the next moment, everyone bowed deeply to that graceful figure, a thunderous sound echoing throughout the endless mountains and rivers.

"We pay respect to the Little Demon Girl."

"Paying respect to the Little Demon Girl—."

Countless Demon Sect cultivators all bowed deeply, not only the disciples of the Demon Sword Sect but also those Demonic Dao cultivators from incomprehensible distances bowed, far away, toward the graceful figure standing at the peak of Spirit Peak, atop the Demon Hall.

If the Righteous Orthodox Sects’ cultivators witnessed this scene, they would undoubtedly be beyond shocked.

Clearly, this is a grand spectacle impossible for the Righteous Sects, all Demonic Dao cultivators bearing infinite respect for that graceful figure. Such prestige, even the contemporary first Saintess of the Divine Sword Sect, the contemporary first Divine Maiden of the Divine Maiden Sect, and the contemporary first Saint Heir of the Cyan Cloud Sect among the five ’Divine Mountain’ level figures could not possess.

This shows just how terrifying the awe for that graceful figure within the Demonic Dao is, a scene impossible to achieve given the complex relations among the Righteous Orthodox Sects.

Yet facing the bows and salutes from endless Demonic Sect cultivators, that graceful figure paid no heed, instead silently gazed in the direction of the Righteous Orthodox Sects, murmuring, "Sword Saint’s successor? Unparalleled prodigy with double talents? Ten Spiritual Essences, Divine Level Martial Soul, and terrifying comprehension? Ye Xiaofan?"

It had only been a year since she had last emerged, yet she hadn’t expected the name she once heard to return to her ears in such a manner.

Murmuring the name for a while, a trace of a sinister smile crept onto her stunning face, then she slowly looked down at the fearsome Demon Hall beneath her, as though her gaze could penetrate the hall to the people inside.

After some contemplation.

The awe-inspiring voice of the peak-level Demonic young woman slowly echoed within the Demon Hall.

"Dear senior brothers and sisters, watch over the Demon Sword Sect well. I, your junior sister, shall go meet this Ye Xiaofan of the Divine Sword Sect."

After finishing her words, the entire graceful figure slowly ascended and then suddenly soared into the sky.

The moment she soared, countless formidable figures burst out from the Demon Hall.

"Little Demon Girl, do not be rash. That’s the temporary base of the Divine Sword Sect, and the surrounding area harbors people from the Ten Great Divine Sects. If you go alone, you might fall into danger."\p>

"Little Demon Girl, come back quickly. If the three of those from the Righteous Sects join forces, you will surely face great danger."

"If the Demoness insists on going, very well, we shall accompany you."

Countless figures of the Demon Sect spoke and prepared to ascend together.

However, in the next moment.

"I said, stay here. I will go alone. Mere strengths of the Hundred Sects, thinking they can kill me, the Little Demon Girl, it’s not that easy."

Upon these words, all the formidable figures of the Demon Sect halted, each showing a wry smile.

Indeed, it’s true—her solitary journey makes her a less noticeable target.

For the moment, many of the Demon Sect cultivators held increased admiration for that graceful figure, yet they didn’t know what awaited her on this journey.

Little did anyone realize that this journey of the Little Demon Girl, representing half of the Demon Sect’s domain, nearly brought her to the brink of no return.

She herself did not yet know that on this stealthy journey, she’d be so completely astonished by that figure that it nearly shifted her fate, causing her to eventually turn against much of the Demonic Sect.
