Although they couldn't move, the older members of the Heavenly Bandits were all excited when they saw Xiao Lingyu. They shouted in their hearts, "Our Great Leader is finally back!"
Xiao Lingyu released the restraints on Zhu Jin and moved to Zhu Jin's side, saying, "You point out who is on our side and who is our enemy."
Zhu Jin suppressed the excitement in his heart and then walked into the valley accompanied by Xiao Lingyu.
All the cultivators who were pointed out by Zhu Jin as enemies fell to the ground in the next moment. They should have been directly wiped out.
After a cup of tea's time had passed, only Xiao Lingyu and the people that Zhu Jin had mentioned were left inside and outside the valley.
Xiao Lingyu's appearance really shocked everyone in the Heavenly Bandits, especially the first batch of Heavenly Bandits members. They all knew that the Great Leader was very strong, but they didn't expect her to be so strong. After all, when the Great Leader left, she was almost at the Demon Lord stage.
Among the enemies who besieged the Heavenly Bandits just now, there was no lack of strong Demon Emperors. Demon Emperors were powerless in front of the Great Leader. What kind of strength did the Great Leader have now?
In fact, in the entire Heavenly Bandits, Zhu Jin was the one who knew Xiao Lingyu the best. However, Zhu Jin also had a look of disbelief on his face at this time.
After all the enemies were destroyed, Xiao Lingyu put away her domain and let the members of the Heavenly Bandits regain their freedom.
Although everyone was very excited, many of them were not familiar with Xiao Lingyu. Even if they were acquaintances, at this time, when they saw Xiao Lingyu was so powerful, they didn't dare to come up to get close to her.
In the end, Zhu Jin brought Xiao Lingyu in front of a middle-aged cultivator and said, "Not long after First Master left, our bandit group has been under the leadership of this Master You."
Xiao Lingyu nodded, but her expression didn't change. This Cultivator You was a mid-stage Emperor-level cultivator. Naturally, he could control the entire Heavenly Bandits.
However, the gap between Xiao Lingyu and a mid-stage Martial Emperor was too great. Xiao Lingyu wasn't familiar with him, so they didn't talk much.
"Master You, haven't you always been thinking about the First Master? Now that you've seen him, why aren't you greeting him?" Zhu Jin said to the cultivator surnamed You.
Hearing Zhu Jin's tone, Xiao Lingyu felt that this cultivator surnamed You didn't have a good relationship with Zhu Jin.
"Junior You Cheng greets First Master!" The cultivator surnamed You was stunned at first, then he cupped his fists and bowed, looking very respectful.
"Since we're brothers, there's no need to be so formal." Xiao Lingyu helped him up and said politely.
"First Master, you don't know how heroic Master You was back then. Not only did he use his valiant strength to force us to follow him, he even said that First Master was only a Demon Lord cultivator. He could crush tens of thousands of people to death with a light pinch of two fingers." Zhu Jin followed up with a strange tone and a mocking expression.
When You Cheng heard this, his expression changed greatly, and he said with great fear, "That was Junior's arrogance and ignorance. Please forgive me, First Master … Senior!"
"Hmph! Forgive me? "
Zhu Jin said with a face full of indignation, "The Heavenly Bandits was painstakingly organized by First Master. When you came, you called yourself Master. You probably didn't expect this day to come, did you?"
There were naturally many people who were as angry as Zhu Jin, especially the earliest members of the Heavenly Bandits.
"Back then, when we didn't obey him, he planted a curse on us. If we resisted, he would let the curse torture us!"
"When the curse flared up, it really made people beg for death!"
"It's not that we weren't loyal to First Master, but that curse made it impossible for us to resist!"
"First Master, you have to uphold justice for our brothers!"
Xiao Lingyu waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion. He looked at You Cheng indifferently and said, "Remove the curse for them."
You Cheng looked very guilty at this time. From Xiao Lingyu's performance just now, he could clearly see that even if there were a hundred of him together, he wouldn't be a match for him. Therefore, he didn't try to resist at all and obediently removed the curse for the Heavenly Bandits members.
You Cheng knew that even if he didn't remove the curse, with the strength of this First Master who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, he could easily erase the curse.
"Apart from the curse, has You Cheng treated everyone well these years?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"As long as we listened to his commands and orders, he didn't make things difficult for us. He would also give us the magic stones that we should have." Zhu Jin said truthfully.
"Then after all these years, has the Heavenly Bandits made any progress? Has everyone's net worth increased? "Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"The improvement is very obvious. Apart from You Cheng, we have three more early-stage Martial Emperors and more than a hundred Monarch Martial Artists. As for everyone's net worth, apart from those brothers who died in battle, the brothers who are still alive are much richer than before. "Zhu Jin answered again.
"Then how many times has he led everyone to make mistakes? How many times has he caused everyone to lose their lives in vain?" Xiao Lingyu still asked with a calm expression.
"Mistakes … I don't think there has been even one. The brothers who died in battle were also considered normal losses." Zhu Jin replied.
"Then every time we fought, did he charge and break through the enemy lines with everyone, or did he cherish his life and avoid battle?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"No, he almost always charged at the front." The more Zhu Jin answered, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"In that case, you don't have to have such big opinions. He planted a curse on you to ensure that you would listen to his orders. Although using a curse to torture his own brothers is very unrighteous, in general, he is still a qualified leader." Xiao Lingyu concluded.
After hearing Xiao Lingyu's words, everyone began to carefully recall their previous experiences. They thought about the days when they fought together with You Cheng and secretly felt that it was indeed the case. The anger on their faces gradually dissipated.
You Cheng, who was originally very nervous, also relaxed a little at this time. He was really afraid that this Great Master would destroy him in a rage.
"However, I really want to know why you, a dignified mid-stage Demon Emperor, came to have ideas about the Heavenly Bandits?" Xiao Lingyu asked You Cheng.
You Cheng said matter-of-factly, "I want to make a big career, a big career that belongs to me alone."
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said, "If you are not honest, I may not let you go."
Obviously, Xiao Lingyu was very dissatisfied with You Cheng's answer. He thought that You Cheng was lying.
You Cheng hesitated for a moment and replied, "Even if I die, there are some things that I can't say."
Xiao Lingyu followed and said, "You are a talent. At least you have good organizational skills. It would be a pity if you died like this. Moreover, I don't actually need to ask you. If I directly search your soul, I can find out everything. You won't doubt that I can't search your soul, right? "
You Cheng's face changed. Reason told him that although this Great Master's expression was very calm, he was definitely not a soft-hearted person. Just now, this Great Master mercilessly killed hundreds of people, and he didn't even frown.
As for the Great Master's realm, You Cheng also knew in his heart. Although he was not too sure, at least he could be sure that this Great Master could play a role like him at will.
"Actually, I came here under orders. I want to control a small force that was not very strong in the Demon Realm before, and then gradually grow it. Finally, I use this small force to provoke a powerful existence …" You Cheng knew that his secret couldn't be hidden, so he began to talk tirelessly.
After listening to You Cheng's explanation, Xiao Lingyu smiled playfully and said, "You dare to provoke the Tuoba Family, the force behind you is also not small!"
You Cheng remained silent.
"The reason why you chose to do this is because you don't want the Tuoba Family to know about the great force behind you. If you want to go against the Tuoba Family, you should have the strength to go against them, but you don't dare to do it openly. Which side are you on?" Xiao Lingyu stroked his chin as if he was thinking carefully.
You Cheng still didn't speak.
At this moment, under the cover of Xiao Lingyu's mind, several powerful Emperor-level experts approached. However, those people stopped before they could fly close to the valley, and then turned around to leave.
"Since you're already here, how can you leave without saying goodbye?"
Xiao Lingyu's voice, however, was clearly transmitted to the ears of those people, causing them to be shocked in their hearts.
After a flash, Xiao Lingyu blocked in front of those people.
"Fellow Taoist, may I know why you stopped us?" An old man stood out and asked.
"I just want to know why you are here." Xiao Lingyu said indifferently.
"I just happened to pass by." The old man replied.
"Since you were passing by, why did you suddenly turn around? Even if you found out that there was a situation in the valley and didn't want to cause trouble, you should have taken a detour. You shouldn't have turned around. "Xiao Lingyu continued to question.
"What do we want? Do we have to explain it to you? Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? "A middle-aged cultivator said with a gloomy expression.
These people were all Emperor-level cultivators, and could be considered true experts in the entire Devil World. Naturally, their tempers were not small, and they were not used to being interrogated by others. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't see through Xiao Lingyu's realm, they probably wouldn't have said anything to Xiao Lingyu.
"Hehe, if I'm not wrong, you should have been invited by You Cheng to help, right?" Xiao Lingyu pointed in the direction of the valley and said with a smile, "It's a pity that you came too late. You saw that the battle over there had already ended, so you immediately retreated, right?"
These people seemed to have their thoughts pointed out by Xiao Lingyu, and their eyes suddenly narrowed.
"That You Cheng has already confessed to me, but he didn't say which Devil World faction was behind him. Since you're here, I'll have to trouble you to clear my doubts!" Xiao Lingyu said with a very interested look.
"Humph! You're courting death! "
The middle-aged cultivator shouted loudly, and then stabbed a spear towards Xiao Lingyu.
When the spear was only half a foot away from his chest, Xiao Lingyu suddenly stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the spear in his hand. No matter how much strength the cultivator exerted, he was unable to move the spear an inch.
