"Pardon my rudeness. I didn't expect Lady Bai to be an important figure of the Nine-lives Cat Demon Clan …" Yun Yang smiled.
"Why do you say that?"
Bai Bingxuan denied it hurriedly. "I'm only a junior demon with a shallow cultivation base who was lucky enough to escape."
Yun Yang chuckled again and said leisurely, "Throughout the entire escape process, many seniors with a higher cultivation base than you have died, but you, a little demon with a shallow cultivation base, have remained safe and sound the entire time. As for the subordinates who stayed by your side, their attitude towards you was more like blind loyalty than admiration … Wouldn't I be an idiot if I couldn't see this? "
Bai Bingxuan shook her head with a pained expression. "Leader Yun's eyes are sharp, of course you're right. But what about our past identities, it's all in the past. Now, we're just a bunch of cat demons who depend on each other. That's all, there's no difference between us. "
Yun Yang nodded and did not linger on the topic. "Lady Bai, you said that since the Cat Ancestor didn't perish but was only suppressed, it means that there's still a chance for him to come out again. Then why are the other demons so ruthless and merciless? Aren't they afraid of his revenge in the future? "
"Other than His Majesty the Demonic Sovereign's limitless imprisonment, the Lord Cat Ancestor is also suppressed in the Demon Lake …" Bai Bingxuan said, "Ever since the Demonic Sovereign's Domain was established, none of the demonic seniors who were suppressed in the Demon Lake have ever come out alive. It's also because of this common understanding that the various clans made their choice!"
Yun Yang sighed. So that was why the Cat Ancestor had basically been executed …
Yun Yang could not help but recall Feng Guohai's introduction to the Nine-lives Cat back then. When the Nine-lives Cat and Hall Master Huo fought, everything within ten thousand miles was destroyed … none of the mountains and rivers were spared …
How peerless was that? How glorious was that?
Combined with the Cat Ancestor's life-saving ability that he had personally experienced today, it was truly remarkable. If the Cat Ancestor were to perform this skill himself, who knew how far he could go? The so-called immortality of the physical body was definitely not a lie!
But such a figure had failed and was suppressed at the bottom of the Demon Life Lake, causing his clan to lose power just like that. Practically all of his clansmen were slaughtered, causing him to be in an extremely miserable state … When the two were compared, it truly caused others to be unable to help but sigh …
Thinking of this, Yun Yang looked at Bai Bingxuan again; his gaze was even more meaningful.
"This girl's identity must be extraordinary … No wonder she was sent here for a mission. She is obviously here to seduce her. She should greet her with her body, but she still ignored Lei Dongtian …"
However, since Bai Bingxuan was unwilling to talk about it, Yun Yang did not probe further.
"Since all of you are … then why …" Yun Yang looked at Bai Bingxuan.
"The reason why we were able to escape and come back from death was because of someone's help … And it was this person who, after saving us, used a method to control us … Little did they know that after we escaped, we had nowhere to go at all. We already had the heart to attach ourselves to the strong, but it was just the difference between one being active and the other being passive …"
Yun Yang asked, "Who is that person?"
Yun Yang was not the least bit interested in how this person had controlled them. It was rare for people to be kind or malicious to each other, so the person's motive was not Yun Yang's concern. Yun Yang only wanted to know this person's true identity!
"We have no idea about this person's true identity, background, and origin. The only thing we can be sure of is that he is a demon. Also, his ability should have reached the level of a Royal Saint. He is the pinnacle of the demon race and the world's top expert. "
Bai Bingxuan answered quickly.
"Demon race?"
Yun Yang was stunned by the answer.
This answer was completely different from the direction he had guessed. It was the complete opposite of what he had guessed!
All the evidence and the direction of the incident clearly pointed to the Lei Family's Old Ancestor, the Sacred Heart Palace's Great Elder Lei Qianli.
But why was there such a sudden turn? The person behind all of this was actually a Demon Clan!
"You said that the only thing you can be sure of is that your master is a demon, and an extremely powerful one at that!" Yun Yang's eyes flashed as he asked for the first time.
"Yes, we, the demon race, have an instinctive way of detecting our own kind. Hmm, actually, it's not really a way to distinguish. We can tell with just a glance. There's no need to identify demonic aura like you humans do, or to fight … We only need a glance. "
"That person is a demon … Do you know his name?"
"I don't know."
"Then what did he use to control you? Is it a secret skill unique to the demon race? "
"Yes, he used a trace of his demonic soul to form a bond. Since his ability is far above all the current members of the Cat Clan, he can die with just a thought. There's no way to fight back."
"Hmm, how long have you been controlled by him until now?"
"Our branch escaped with the help of his ability, but we fell into his hands immediately. It's been thirteen years."
"Thirteen years, the Cat Ancestor was also suppressed thirteen years ago?"
"How is that possible? The Cat Ancestor was suppressed by the Demon Emperor hundreds of years ago, and our Nine Lives Cat Clan is one of the top five clans in the Demon Emperor's Domain. Previously, our higher-ups were still there, and we could still hide from each other and support each other. Although we were struggling at death's door, we still managed to survive. It wasn't until more than ten years ago that we were finally weakened to the point where we couldn't even hide anymore. We had no choice but to go to extremes and flee the Demon Realm … "
"From what you think, did the demon controlling you suddenly decide to control you, or was it premeditated? I think you've thought about it before, haven't you? "
Bai Bingxuan furrowed her brows and carefully thought for a while. Then, she cautiously replied, "Of course I've thought about this. Based on my personal judgment, the other party doesn't seem to have come up with this idea on the spur of the moment. But if it's premeditated … it doesn't seem like it … If it's premeditated, what's the use of controlling just the eight of us?"
Yun Yang nodded. "That's true."
"Then what have you done for him all these years? I'm afraid there must be a lot of them! "
"A lot of them indeed."
Bai Bingxuan had no intention of hiding this part, recounting them one by one. Yun Yang listened attentively, occasionally asking for details.
Listening to Bai Bingxuan's narration of the past, Yun Yang realized that the things his lord wanted Bai Bingxuan and her clansmen to do were not dangerous at all.
In the beginning, it was not dangerous at all. It was mostly used to train the team and train their teamwork. In the middle of it, sneaking into the Demon Emperor's Domain to steal something or other heaven and earth treasure was much riskier, but from Yun Yang's perspective, it was more of a test …
In spite of this, Bai Bingxuan unintentionally mentioned a topic that moved Yun Yang. Every full moon night, his lord would ask Bai Bingxuan to cultivate the Cat Ancestor's unique cultivation method under the moonlight and pray to the Cat Ancestor about the current situation of the Cat Clan … What did this mean?
