At this moment, a faint surge of demonic energy was detected. Long Lixing quickly pulled Jin Bao'er closer, lightly tapped his feet, and landed directly on the roof beam, signaling Jin Bao'er to remain silent…
The instant they disappeared, a "boom" echoed from the wall.
A man, entirely black, stepped into the room, followed by the Patriarch of the Fanyin clan…
Jin Bao'er had seen him on the Immortal-Demon Battlefield! He had been of great help then! He had nearly died at the hands of the demons several times…
But now… the man in front of him was clearly a demon! Why were they together? Could it be… the Fanyin clan was colluding with the demons?
At this moment, many questions suddenly flooded her mind, but she forced herself to hold her breath, suppress her aura, and maintain a calm gaze…
She had a premonition that she might overhear some earth-shattering conspiracy!
Soon, the Fanyin Patriarch looked at the man with a grim expression, clearly agitated!
"Why did you kill my son? He only overheard two sentences, he wouldn't have suspected our plan! Why did you…"
Before he could finish, the black figure directly interrupted him, his voice rather hoarse!
"Oh? Are you sure? This Venerable One will not allow anyone to disrupt this plan. It's just unfortunate that he returned at the wrong time!"
Then his tone shifted…
"Heh heh… Patriarch Fanyin, aren't you worried about exposure? If others knew you colluded with demons to slaughter cultivators, and deliberately incited war just to obtain resources from the dragon race… what do you think? Would the Fanyin clan become sinners of the entire upper realm? Infamous for eternity?"
Upon hearing this, the Fanyin Patriarch's face turned ashen. His fists clenched within his sleeves, showing great restraint. After a moment, he let out a sigh of relief!
"I, I understand! I will proceed according to the plan!"
Seeing this, the black figure chuckled mockingly. After the Fanyin Patriarch left, he turned to another wall, his body gradually faded, then passed through the wall and disappeared.
Clearly, the room was filled with an unsettling strangeness, and all the walls could be passages to another dimension!
Jin Bao'er frowned, her mind racing. The Fanyin Patriarch's betrayal, how many people in the entire Fanyin clan were involved? Among the Seven Great Clans, how many were demon puppets? What were they planning? The previous war was intentionally provoked by them…
But… why? What benefit did they gain? The demons suffered immense losses, hundreds of dragon giants died, and while the human immortals were not severely harmed, they still suffered heavy losses!
What were they after?
"What do you think… they are after?"
She looked at the man beside her, believing he must understand what she was asking!
Long Lixing let out a cold laugh upon hearing this, his gaze fixed on that section of the wall! His killing intent was palpable!
"Can't you see? Although it seems like none of the three races benefited, in reality! The demons gained a tremendous advantage! For example, the demons previously killed were merely defective products! They would eventually be devoured by other higher-ranking demons. If they could be used to test or weaken the strength of the dragon and human races…"
This, Jin Bao'er truly didn't know. However, if explained this way, it made sense why most of the demons during the great battle were not of high cultivation, except for their leader.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips slightly, her expression somewhat grim!
"So, the demons' target is likely the dragon race and the human race? Their cooperation is probably just a facade. In the end, they will surely instigate conflict between the two races, and the demons will reap the benefits!"
Suddenly, she looked up abruptly! Her expression was complex.
"Then how can he be sure that the dragon race will discover and expose this conspiracy, and then fall out with the humans?"
The moment she finished speaking, she suddenly realized! Isn't that exactly what's happening now?
The pinkish power was hers, but she was a pure-blooded dragon now, capable of passing through walls! This meant that the place filled with demonic energy set up by the other party was intended to lure dragons in, discover the connection between humans and demons, and then go out and turn against humans, causing conflict between the two races…
Long Lixing saw her look of sudden enlightenment and nodded sarcastically…
"Yes, so he deliberately let this Venerable discover the issue, and also knew that this Venerable is considered half-dragon!"
This meant that in the other party's plan, he was also being used? Hmph! First, he was used as a demon god to attract hatred, and now he was being used to bring the dragon race in to discover the collusion between humans and demons…
Thinking of this, the anger in his eyes intensified, and the smile on his face became even brighter! The other party was very clever! And they knew him very well~ His attendants were truly… becoming more and more capable!
Jin Bao'er sensed his anger and silently closed her mouth! Regardless of anything else, even though the current Long Lixing was not complete, his strength was still not to be underestimated. With the other party using him like this, it was likely a battle to the death…
When the black figure reappeared, before he could react, his body was violently restrained, and a pale hand gripped his neck. As it constricted, the faint sound of bones grinding could be heard…
The black figure looked up in terror at the man in front of him, and exclaimed!
"Demon… Demon God?"
At this moment, the black shadow on his body gradually solidified, and soon his true face was revealed. Upon meeting those cold and angry purple eyes, his body trembled uncontrollably…
The man's lips curved into a bloodthirsty smile upon hearing this, his tone sarcastic and disgusted!
"My attendant… is this your attitude towards me?"
Jin Bao'er stood aside, watching the man in front of her like a demon from hell! He was filled with cruelty, violence, madness, anger, and terrifying killing intent! On his face, as beautiful as a celestial being, apart from that smile on his lips, there was nothing else…
She remained silent, her expression unchanged, yet she felt inexplicably uncomfortable!
This was the first time she had directly witnessed Long Lixing's anger! Perhaps it was because this aspect of him was completely separated, making him exceptionally terrifying.
Looking at the demon, she clearly remembered that this was the leader of the demons on the Immortal-Demon Battlefield. She had thought he died with the other demons under her assault, but she never expected he had escaped long ago!
"Demon… Lord Demon God! I was wrong… don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
The suffocating sensation of death rushed to his brain, making the demon unable to help but beg for mercy, his face filled with terror and despair! His body was already trembling like a sieve!
He never expected that not only the dragon race, but also the former demon god who had been expelled by the demons, would come here! Clearly… he had been very careful during this time, fearing discovery, but in the end…
Long Lixing narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, his body exuding a dangerous aura! His voice was extremely cold!
"What are you planning? Tell me, and this Venerable will spare your life!"
Hearing this, the demon's eyes lit up, as if seeing a glimmer of hope…
