Imitating Li Yao, Jin Xinyue pressed the jade chip between her eyebrows and summoned the spiritual energy inside her body clumsily through the spiritual root that had just grown out of her body. Even if I were to be smashed into pieces, I would not be able to repay even one ten-thousandth of your kindness!
"I-I have racked my brains, and there is only one way that I can repay your kindness, senior.
"If Senior doesn't mind, then this junior, this junior, would be so bold as to earnestly request to become Senior's disciple, to be at Senior's beck and call. I will serve you and be filial to you! "
Li Yao was dazed. He kept blinking his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that he needed to maintain the image of a mysterious person, he would have been laughing out loud. He really had the urge to burst into laughter.
The reason why he taught Jin Xinyue the Cultivation arts was simple.
The Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm had been entangled for more than a hundred years. They must have grasped a lot of Cultivation arts of the human race. Since Jin Xinyue was in the Core Formation Stage, she would have been able to get the Cultivation arts anyway.
The Cultivation arts that Li Yao offered. They were the Cultivation arts of other sects that the Hundred Smelting Clan had collected over the years.
The core of the Hundred Smelting Clan was the refinement of magical equipment. They were not good at fighting. Therefore, when other Cultivation sects asked the Hundred Smelting Clan to refine magical equipment for them, they would often offer some Cultivation arts in exchange.
It was not hard to imagine that the Cultivation arts that a Cultivation sect was willing to offer for exchange would not be the real ultimate techniques. Even if they looked powerful, they often had fatal flaws.
If Jin Xinyue had practiced other Cultivation arts, Li Yao would not have been able to do anything to her. But if she had practiced these Cultivation arts, she would never be able to escape from Li Yao's hands.
Li Yao was actually quite wary of the saintess of the Pantheon of Demons, who was both cruel and strong-willed. Opening a 'back door' inside her body in such a way was also a way to check and balance her.
But he did not expect that Jin Xinyue would take the opportunity to ask him to be her master!
Li Yao was crystal clear about Jin Xinyue's scheme. He sneered, "As a saintess of the Pantheon of Demons, don't you have a master?"
Jin Xinyue was weeping so hard that her face had lost all color. She was like a lonely, poor girl who had no one to rely on. She crouched on the ground and said, "Senior, I did have a lot of tutors in the Pantheon of Demons, but those tutors merely trained me as a tool. None of them truly loved me, protected me, and a master who was worthy of my service.
"My father is usually busy with work and doesn't have much time to give me pointers."
"I've seen too many unparalleled experts since I was little, but this is the first time that I've seen such a magnificent person as you, senior. That's why I proposed such a presumptuous request on impulse!
"Junior knows that with Junior's insignificant strength, I don't have the slightest qualifications to become Senior's disciple. If Senior doesn't agree, Junior will have no complaints. Even if I can only follow by Senior's side as a personal servant, serve Senior like an ox or a horse, and admire Senior's peerless demeanor every night, Junior will be satisfied and die without regrets."
"Oh?"
Li Yao smiled. "Don't say 'work like a cow or a horse'. Chances are that I can really turn you into a cow or a horse."
Jin Xinyue was dazed for a moment. Her heart was shivering uncontrollably. Hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "As long as I can follow you and repay your life-saving grace, I will gladly be turned into a cow or a horse even if I have to be turned into a cow or a horse!
"Senior, to tell you the truth, I really have nowhere else to go right now!
"In the Blood Demon Sector, the strong prey on the weak. Of course, I made a lot of enemies after all the trouble I went through to become a saintess of the Pantheon of Demons.
"Right now, I've been forced to assume the appearance of a human being. There's no telling when I will be able to change back to my real appearance.
"Naturally, my enemies will not let go of such a great opportunity.
"Right now, Elder Nether Spring is hunting me down. The Pantheon of Demons is likely to capture me and cut me up for studies, too. Even my father is not sure how he will treat me, considering the big picture!
"My — my heart is in a mess right now. I have no one to turn to, and I can't be more desperate!
"Senior, you are my only hope. You are a beacon in the dark night. Do I have a second choice other than to follow you with my life?"
Jin Xinyue couldn't have been more sincere.
Li Yao sniffed. After all the things he had been through in the Tian Yuan Realm and the Flying Star Sector, he was no longer the hot-blooded young man he used to be. Naturally, he did not believe a word that the witch said.
However, the girl's identity was rather special, and she was very important for his next step of his plan.
After staying in the Blood Demon Sector for more than half a month, Li Yao had basically grasped the situation at hand from the villagers of the Dry Leaf Village, the brothers Lei Chuang and Lei Qi, and Jin Xinyue.
A year ago, the Blood Demon Sector had launched a large-scale attack on the Tian Yuan Realm known as' Battle of Dawn '. It savaged the entire Grand Desolate Plateau and reached the Giant Blade Pass at the south of the Grand Desolate Plateau.
As long as the Giant Blade Pass was broken through, it would be the most vulnerable and prosperous land of the Xing Yao Federation.
Although the Battle of Dawn ended with the failure of the demon race, the vitality of the Blood Demon Sector was not damaged. On the contrary, the infrastructure and the major towns on the Grand Desolate Plateau had been destroyed.
On the Grand Desolate Plateau, where resources were scarce, it was easy to destroy a town, but it was extremely difficult to rebuild it.
It was safe to say that the road to the heartland of the Xing Yao Federation had been completely paved in the Battle of Dawn.
Right now, the Blood Demon Sector had launched a new round of mobilization. Even the Dry Leaf Village, a small village of chaotic-blood demons, had to send fifty soldiers. It was obvious that the mobilization this time was ten times more intensive than the Battle of Dawn!
This was a general mobilization of the entire Blood Demon Sector!
Once the general mobilization was completed, an unprecedentedly enormous demon army would be waiting for the Tian Yuan Realm. It would probably be the real strategic battle between the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector!
In the final battle, the commander-in-chief of the Blood Demon Sector would be Jin Tuyi, Jin Xinyue's father!
I have to find a way to get in touch with Jin Tuyi and learn the Blood Demon Sector's plan in the strategic battle. Then, I will figure out a way to send the war plans of the Blood Demon Sector back to the Tian Yuan Realm!
Other than that, Elder Nether Spring's scheme is worth paying attention to, too. Is the drug that can transform demons into human beings an accidental product of his, or is there a deeper scheme behind it?
"Besides, in order to completely refine the foreign blood condensed by the Blood Stripe Virus, we need to study the cells and genes on a deeper level. It is true that the demon race is more knowledgeable than human beings in such a field.
Thinking about that, Li Yao waved his hands. An invisible force lifted Jin Xinyue to her feet.
Giving no comment, he said casually, "Stand up now!"
Seeing that he was emotionless, Jin Xinyue did not dare ask if he agreed. She rolled her eyes and said respectfully, "Thank you for keeping me by your side, senior. But how should I address you, senior?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, "I don't want to expose my identity. You can call me 'Lei Qi' in front of outsiders. Consider me your subordinate. As for my real name, keep it in mind and do not reveal it to anyone else. If any outsider learns of it, don't blame me for being merciless!
"A long, long time ago, in a place far, far away, everybody called me 'Bloody Vulture'."
Li Yao said calmly, with weird brilliance beaming out of his eyes.
"It is my honor to meet you, elder!"
