Chapter 365: 203, Seclusion Preparation
The disciple who claimed to be from the Holy Sect was dressed in a complicated robe adorned with golden patterns and had a golden rune painted on his forehead.
At this moment, he was looking at the two people with a haughty expression, his gaze cold and disdainful.
If it were any other common folk who encountered a member of the Demon Sect, the overlord of the Black Horn Domain, even if they would not bow humbly, they would at least restrain their attitude somewhat.
But Tian Liuli just smiled faintly, her eyes distant and cold, revealing a chilling determination, “Who we are is none of your concern.”
“You!?”
The expression of the Demon Sect disciple changed abruptly, darkening like a sudden mass of clouds emerging in the clear summertime sky.
Xu Yuan heard several gasps of surprise coming from the shadows.
Apparently, even the most audacious of those also exiled here were taken aback by her demeanor.
In the Black Horn Domain, you may disrespect heaven and earth, show no reverence for gods and spirits.
But you must never show disregard for the Demon Sect.
And now, here was someone, so boldly and openly speaking these words to a disciple representing the Demon Sect?
Even if many of them harbored such thoughts, none would dare to voice them openly.
Thus, after Tian Liuli had so clearly stated her position, many faces changed colors rapidly, and they were ready to slip away.
The Demon Sect disciple seemed to hold some status within the sect. Hearing what Tian Liuli said, his handsome face contorted slightly.
“You have guts. I hope you can still speak such words later on.”
His tone was menacing, suggesting he was ready to act, as Spiritual Power roared and swirled around him like a tiger.
Tian Liuli looked at him coldly and suddenly asked, “Who sent you to find us?”
That simple question caused the countenance of the haughty Demon Sect disciple to change dramatically.@@novelbin@@
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
A flicker of panic passed through the depths of his eyes, but his demeanor remained composed.
“You don’t know?”
Tian Liuli chuckled lightly, “Is the mighty Demonic Dao so petty that every single person entering the Black Horn Domain must be scrutinized?”
“You!?”
His eyes widened as if he had suddenly realized something, “Are you feigning ignorance on purpose?”
“Correct.”
Tian Liuli nodded, her tone matter-of-fact, “Otherwise, how could we lure you out?”
While speaking, she glanced at Xu Yuan, meaning clear in her eyes, as if to say, indeed, even here among the Demonic Dao, you manage to have a lover.
Xu Yuan couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
Indeed, that was the case.
He had been wondering why Tian Liuli, who was certainly not a greenhorn in Jianghu and maintained a prideful aloofness, would behave so brashly and arrogantly.
Now it all became clear to him.
She must have realized his intentions and decided to test the waters.
However, perhaps even she did not expect that such a simple probe would actually draw out Mo Xianxian from the shadows.
A Tian Liuli who had cast off all pretenses was indeed more cunning and scheming than anyone could imagine.
Xu Yuan sighed internally.
Moreover, he had thought about looking for Mo Xianxian when the opportunity arose, to contact her discreetly.
But unexpectedly, Mo Xianxian had already started looking for him.
This world was no longer the same as the one he once knew.
“Lured out?”
The expression of the Demon Sect disciple grew cold in an instant.
He had thought to catch them off guard, but it turned out he was the one who had been outmaneuvered.
And of course, what irritated him the most was the other party’s phrasing.
What did she mean by lured out?
Did they really think of him as a fish that could be easily caught?
For a moment, his expression turned frightfully grim.
“Good, good, good! Very well!”
The Demon Sect disciple said three ‘goods’ in succession, laughing coldly, “Worthy of being considered a great enemy by Mo Xianxian, just your courage to directly face this Saint Heir is admirable.”
Great enemy?
Both of them were perplexed at this sudden revelation.
Tian Liuli furrowed her delicate brows as if veiled in mist, pondering silently to herself.
How could it be a great enemy?
Could it be that she had misunderstood Mr. Xu?
After his initial surprise, Xu Yuan quickly understood Mo Xianxian’s intent.
Now that she was surrounded by adversaries within the Demon Sect, she likely wanted to find him while also fearing that their relationship would be discovered, which could lead others to target him, so she called him her enemy.
Xu Yuan could figure this out because he was familiar with Mo Xianxian’s current situation and the stakes involved, but Tian Liuli was different; she had no understanding of the Demon Sect’s internal affairs and couldn’t guess the reasons.
Yet Tian Liuli’s intuition still told her that it was merely a smoke screen.
There was another possibility.
That Mo Xianxian referred to Xu Yuan as an enemy because he had wronged her somehow, prompting her to see him as a foe.
Yet Tian Liuli was well-informed about Xu Yuan’s past experiences.
She knew he had never been here before.
In her memory, there was no one he had wronged who had left his side.
Moreover, his expression of shock and rapid pulse in that instant told her.
He truly did not know about this.
