Wuqing Dongfang felt helpless. If it were true, how could she seek revenge on the demonic sect Killing those who ambushed her father would suffice. In fact, this was enough. It was something that originally required a lifetime to accomplish.
"Welcome to join the demonic sect. I'll wait for you to come and take your revenge whenever you're ready, but I hope you don't die in my hands before doing so!" Tianhe calmly said at this moment.
“I...” Wuqing Dongfang couldn’t speak as she didn’t know how to decide.
"You’ve already made a choice. Perhaps you should check your family records and see if there's something that can help with your decision," Xiaoyao smiled, then he led everyone to a place where they stopped and opened an apparatus which instantly lit up the area.
...
"I seriously doubt it, kid. Have you been here before" Red Sister couldn’t hold back her curiosity as Xiaoyao seemed too familiar with everything. She had originally thought that there would be a difficult path to unravel, but it turned out to be smooth sailing.
Ironically, what she thought was the simplest entrance had actually taken a long time to open, while what she considered should have been a challenging exploration of the demonic palace was surprisingly simple—at least for now.
"What do you think" Xiaoyao didn’t answer but continued looking at the blueprint then said, “Where would you like to go This place leads to other palaces!”
“To the main hall and then our group will go to the library,” Black Snow said.
The main hall was designed for daily activities in the demonic palace and could accommodate over ten thousand people. That’s assuming it’s spacious; if squeezed, even more can fit.
Seeing this situation now, Wuqian and Wuyan Dongfang were completely stunned. They never imagined that the underground demonic palace would be so grandiose while they had been aboveground all along—it was truly amazing.
"Xiaoyao, I have to doubt whether you've been here before" Black Snow couldn’t hold back anymore and asked because Xiaoyao seemed too familiar with everything. Everything became overly simple.
At this moment, Black Snow and the others were already at the library—the most crucial place they came for. This should be filled with a vast collection of demonic sect martial arts texts, but what delighted them even more was that it not only contained texts from their own sect but also many other sects’ collections.
Perhaps there are numerous powerful methods within this collection, though the result is here now and no one would question the means or care about it.
Xiaoyao entered to pretend he was looking around. However, as expected, someone stopped him.
Although Black Snow cared deeply for Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao wasn’t a member of the demonic sect, and here, even if one were part of it, only high-ranking members could enter. Perhaps after some time, this place would be open to ordinary members, but now, it was strictly reserved for senior members!
"Then you all can take your time looking around while I leave first!" Xiaoyao waved his hand and left. No one asked him to stay; they were busy finding books—mainly martial arts texts.
Black Snow and the others didn’t realize that Xiaoyao was leaving for real at this moment, directly departing without saying goodbye. If they had known, they would have tried their best to keep Xiaoyao from leaving, especially Black Snow who wouldn’t want him to leave without even giving her a chance to say farewell.
After exiting the library, Xiaoyao returned to the main hall as this was the necessary route. Some halls were on the periphery and didn't require passing through the main hall; one could just take the main path there. However, places like the library related to cultivation life would be centered around the main hall.
"Xiaoyao, why are you alone" Tianhe asked as he hadn’t entered the library, not because he wasn't qualified but simply out of necessity.
The Ghost Shadow Sect only cultivated their own skills and techniques which had always remained complete without ever being lost; thus, there was no need to refer back to old texts.
Even if Tianhe were allowed to see those techniques, it would be merely for understanding them rather than cultivation. Simultaneously, he didn’t want to understand others’ martial arts because his path in martial arts was singular and being influenced by other paths could only bring harm without benefits.
"They’re all reading books. I wanted to read but they wouldn't let me so I came out," Xiaoyao said with a wave of his hand.
“…” Tianhe fell silent for a moment, "If you join the demonic sect, they’ll definitely allow you access."
"I know. But I don’t like being constrained. I want to experience life in the mortal world and roam freely," Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
“Your character is intriguing. I quite like it,” Tianhe said.
“You’re not bad either, but I only fancy women,” Xiaoyao chuckled.
“…”
"Xiaoyao, thank you for today’s help," Wuyan Dongfang approached at this moment.
"It's nothing. It's just a favor among acquaintances," Xiaoyao replied.
"I want to talk to you. Is that okay" Wuyan Dongfang hesitated as she seemed to be making a decision but was uncertain, so she wanted to discuss it with Xiaoyao first.
At this moment, she didn’t go and talk with Wuqing Dongfang, not because she cared more about Wuqing, but because there were certain matters that needed to be discussed with others.
"Can we talk here" Xiaoyao asked.
Wumian shook his head and said, "Let's find a quiet place."
"Then follow me!" Xiaoyao led Wumian to an area in the main hall. The main hall was indeed quite large; even though they weren't at the edges, there were no people around them, and it was quite far from anyone else.
"Tell me what you want to say, I might have to leave soon," Xiaoyao said.
"You're leaving" Wumian was surprised for a moment.
"Yeah! I planned on leaving anyway. What's the big deal First tell me why you wanted to talk."
Wumian said, "I want to ask what I should do."
"What do you mean by 'what should I do'" Xiaoyao couldn't quite understand what Wumian was asking.
"Now that the Heavenly Gate is gone and my father has passed away, my sister wants revenge, but I don't. Is this unkind of me" Wumian asked.
Xiaoyao said in a casual tone, "If you can let go of your hatred, it's best. Actually, it’s endless cycles of mutual vengeance; the demonic sect you killed before was also seeking revenge. However, if you really want to take revenge, that’s fine too. Since it's already an endless cycle of vengeance, what does it matter if one more person joins in"
Wumian was speechless for a moment and didn’t expect Xiaoyao to explain mutual vengeance like this. However, Xiaoyao’s words made her feel much more open-minded.
That's right, I can seek revenge if I want or not seek it, what difference does it make It all depends on my own wishes.
"But I don’t know how to proceed in the future; I’m a bit lost," Wumian said. Sometimes, being without desires isn't always good because such people often can't find direction and don't know what they want.
Xiaoyao directly said, "What are you confused about If there’s something you’ve wanted to do in the past but didn’t, just go ahead and do it."
Wumian's wish was simple: she wanted to see the outside world.
"If you want to see it, then go look. The outside world is more interesting than here; a person should travel and have fun!" Xiaoyao said. "It doesn't matter what your life goals are; everyone should explore this world, or else why come into the world at all"
"Yes, I want to see this world!" Wumian was even more resolute in her thoughts now. "Thank you!"
Xiaoyao said, "What are you thanking me for Actually, I also wanted to travel around but it's inconvenient with you."
Without hesitation, Xiaoyao made his decision; he wouldn’t give up his freedom for Wumian. If it were Guxing or the Young Miss, there would be no problem, but not for Wumian.
"Is there somewhere you can recommend to me where I could relax" Wumian asked.
Xiaoyao said, "I’m not very knowledgeable about this. Why don’t you find my boss She’s in the capital of Tang Dynasty."
Wumian shook her head and said, "Your boss No thanks, it's inconvenient." She thought Xiaoyao’s boss was a man from a powerful family.
At this moment, Wumian hadn’t yet considered why Xiaoyao had a boss.
"It won't be inconvenient. I’m just suggesting you find my boss; it doesn’t mean you’ll live with her. Plus, my boss is a woman!" Xiaoyao said.
Wumian replied, "Alright then, I can go see the capital of Tang Dynasty, the largest empire and capital."
Xiaoyao said, "Good, I’ll be leaving now! If our paths cross again in the future, we’ll meet then!"
Wumian replied, "Alright, until next time!"
Xiaoyao waved goodbye and left.
No one noticed Xiaoyao's departure; everyone was focused on the demonic palace’s items or the direction of the library hall.
After Wumian returned, a person casually asked her, "Why did he leave"
"He said he needs to leave. He originally came to say goodbye before the demonic sect appeared," Wumian softly answered.
At this time, Wumian suddenly felt that life was unpredictable and changed too quickly for one to accept.
When Xiaoyao approached her, she never thought it would turn out like this. Without warning, her father and the Heavenly Gate were gone, and now the demonic sect had taken over. silver coins tonight.And then, something that would make them speechless happened next; someone seemed unhappy with the outcome."Ah, could it be that you miscalculated! Just a little bit like this" X...
