_Green Blood Demon World_
_Northern Wasteland, Blood Demon Sect_
Inside the Demon Master's Hall, Ye Xiao was standing opposite the Demon Master. Although he knew that Demon Master was a Late Dao Soul Stage of the Dao Manifestation Realm demon, there was not even a trace of fear on his face. He was confidently looking in the Demon Master's eyes, waiting for him to ask his questions.
Demon Master frowned his brows when he saw Ye Xiao's expression. He could not help but praise Ye Xiao's calmness in his heart. But because of the anger, he was feeling, he could not control himself as terrifying demonic energy exploded out from his body, causing the entire Demon Master Hall to shake heavily.
An incredible pressure fell down, forcing everyone in the Demon Master's Hall to kneel down on their knees with a 'thud' sound. Some demons' knees broke as blood gushed out, some also started bleeding from their mouths and some weaker demons started bleeding from their seven orifices and died tragically.
Demon Master was very furious because of the death of his fourth son and Vice Demon Master of Blood Demon Sect, but it was nothing in front of the ruin of his plan. He became so angry with just the thought of the ruin of his plan that sometimes he even thought of taking action himself and killing everyone in the Blood Demon Sect before using their blood essences to refine the Great Dao Blood Pill so that he can break through to the Dao Tribulation Stage of the Dao Manifestation Realm.
But he knew that this was not the time to lose his calm and do something that shouldn't be done. After all, Blood Demon Sect was his thousands of years of hard work. He was the founder of the Blood Demon Sect and didn't want to destroy the sect with his own hands.
His anger burst out now because of not seeing any trace of fear in Ye Xiao's eyes. He could not help but thought that Ye Xiao must be thinking... thinking that he could not even keep alive his own son and Vice Demon Master of his Blood Demon Sect, what can he do to him.
Of course, this thought was something that just emerged in his heart suddenly.
"You are that person who brought me the 'Heart', right?"
Demon Master found Ye Xiao's face very familiar but at first, he could not recognize him. It was because Ye Xiao's strength was not enough to enter his eyes. But there was still some impression of Ye Xiao in his heart so after thinking for a while, he was able to remember where he saw Ye Xiao and how he met him.
Ye Xiao nodded his head and replied with a nod: "Yes! I'm the person who brought Demon Master the 'Heart'. I don't understand why Demon Master called me here?"
Demon Master kept observing Ye Xiao's face deeply. Seeing him replying calmly, Demon Master frowned and thought: 'Could it be that he has nothing to do with Vice Demon Master and my son's death?'
Looking at Ye Xiao, Demon Master said, "You know about the incident of Blood Pool, right? After all, you were also one of those demons and demonic cultivators who entered the Blood Pool to cultivate."
"Yes, I know!" Ye Xiao didn't refuse. He nodded his head, giving Demon Master an affirmative answer.
Demon Master again asked, "Since that's the case, you should know that my fourth son, the Fourth Prince of Blood Demon Sect as well as Vice Demon Master of Blood Demon Sect died inside the Blood Pool. After some investigation, I found out that you were the one who came out from the center of the Blood Pool lastly and broke the formation. When you came out from Blood Pool, at that time, Blood Pool was boiling and the temperature of Blood inside the Blood Pool was extremely high, high enough to burn even an Ancient Demon Realm demons. I want to know how did you do that? Are you related to my son's and Vice Demon Master's death in some ways?"
Saying this, Demon Master again started observing Ye Xiao closely. He didn't want to miss anything and wanted to see every expression that would appear on Ye Xiao's face. But he was disappointed because Ye Xiao had no expression on his face. He remained indifferent about the Demon Master's question.
It was because he had long understood why he was being caught by the demons and why he was brought in front of the Demon Master. He had long prepared himself to answer these kinds of questions to the Demon Master.
Ye Xiao shook his head and replied indifferently but with confidence, enough to confuse others that he was saying the truth. He said, "Demon Master, I can assure you that I have nothing to do with the death of the Fourth Prince and Vice Demon Master. You already know that Vice Demon Master is a Dao Manifestation Realm demon while I'm only at the Early Stage of Demon Emperor Realm. Not to mention killing Vice Demon Master, even if I would have dared to attack him, I would have been killed instantly by him without getting the chance to plead him for showing mercy to me."
"As for staying inside the boiling Blood Pool and coming out from the center of the Blood Pool. To tell you the truth, I have a special body and I can stay in an extremely hot environment where the temperature is two times higher than the boiling Blood Pool. Because of this, nothing happened to me. It was also because of this that I didn't feel anything at first. Only when the commotion outside the Blood Pool became extremely big that I woke up from my cultivation and came out of the Blood Pool."
"After coming out of the Blood Pool, I saw many people shouting and panicking. When I observed the situation, I found that a formation barrier was blocking the exit of the Blood Pool. I am not just a Demonic Cultivator but also a Formation Master. So, I was able to deduce what that formation was and was also able to see its weakness. Because of this, I broke the formation barrier easily."
"As for the death of the Fourth Prince and the Vice Demon Master, I really have nothing to do with their deaths. I hope Demon Master believes me. And... If I really had something to do with their deaths, why would I choose to stay here, in the Blood Demon Sect which is the den of a tiger instead of running away like other demons and demonic cultivators."
"Demons outside are saying that all of them ran away because Demon Master plotted something and tried to kill his own sect's disciples. But I don't believe it. Why would Demon Master plot against his own sect's disciples? Someone must be spreading false rumours... No, it must be the demons of the South Demon Alliance who are spreading bad rumours about Demon Master. I believe that the incident inside the Blood Pool must be just a coincidence or plot of demons of the South Demon Alliance. They must have plotted against Demon Master so that all the demons and demonic cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect run away. This way, the strength of our Blood Demon Sect will be weakened and they could easily take advantage of the opportunity to attack and destroy the Blood Demon Sect."
"I believe in Demon Master so I choose to not run away like other demons and demonic cultivators. They are cowards but I am not. I will live and die for Demon Master and the Blood Demon Sect."
Once Ye Xiao started answering the Demon Master's question, he kept telling for a while without any sign of stopping.
Even the Demon Master was surprised seeing Ye Xiao saying so much. But what Ye Xiao said did make sense to Demon Master.
It was really impossible for a mere demonic cultivator like Ye Xiao to kill Vice Demon Master.
How could an Early Stage Demon Emperor Realm demonic cultivator kill a Dao Manifestation Realm demon? It was simply impossible. There was no way anyone could believe this. This was more like nonsense.
He was also surprised when Ye Xiao told him that he will live and die for him and the Blood Demon Sect.
Demon Master kept thinking for a while. His mind told him that what Ye Xiao was saying was the truth. He doesn't have the strength to kill the Vice Demon Master. Not to mention Vice Demon Master, he believed that Ye Xiao doesn't have the strength to even kill his fourth son, let alone kill the Vice Demon Master who was Dao Manifestation Realm demon.
But his heart worked against his mind.. His heart told him that something was really wrong and Ye Xiao do have something to do with the death of the Fourth Prince and the Vice Demon Master of the Blood Demon Sect.
