1410 Becoming a Demon
Zhan Jiuxiao was telling Zhan Wuya that his Eldest Senior Sister Zhan Shuangxue’s death was also his doing.
Even though he had already heard Yu Huang and the others discussing that Zhan Shuangxue’s death might be related to Zhan Jiuxiao, Zhan Wuya was still unwilling to suspect his mentor, who had treated him with great kindness.
Even though he realized that his mentor was a great demonic cultivator, Zhan Wuya was unwilling to believe it. After all, according to this theory, the great fiendish cultivator occupied Zhan Jiuxiao’s body since a thousand years ago.
The person who married Mentoress was the great fiendish cultivator. Even if he was a demonic cultivator, he was still the father of Eldest Senior Sister and Little Junior Sister. Zhan Wuya always thought that demonic cultivators were also human, so even if his mentor was a demonic cultivator, he probably wouldn’t be ruthless enough to sacrifice his biological daughter in order to achieve his goal.
!!However, Zhan Jiuxiao’s words completely shattered Zhan Jiuxiao’s remaining delusions about him.
“Mentor…” Zhan Jiuxiao subconsciously wanted to call Zhan Jiuxiao Mentor, but Zhan Wuya stopped himself.
A demonic cultivator who could ruthlessly take his daughter’s life wasn’t worthy of being a mentor!
Zhan Wuya hugged his battle spear tightly. Under his chest, his heart was racing. “Let me ask you.” Zhan Wuya gritted his teeth and looked at Zhan Jiuxiao with bloodshot eyes as he asked, “Was Mentoress’s death your scheme?”
Zhan Jiuxiao tilted his head with a smile and pretended to be confused as he asked Zhan Wuya, “Why do you ask?”
“Because she let Prime Emperor Yu Tian go and betrayed you.” Now that the two of them had fallen out, there was no need to hide anything about Prime Emperor Yu Tian.
“In order to silence Mentoress, you killed her, didn’t you?!” When Zhan Wuya asked Zhan Jiuxiao this question, he already had the answer.
However, he didn’t give up. He still wanted to hear the truth from Zhan Jiuxiao. If Zhan Jiuxiao lied and said that it wasn’t him, Zhan Wuya could find an excuse for Zhan Jiuxiao.
However, after Zhan Jiuxiao took a deep look at Zhan Wuya, his gaze darkened as he muttered softly, “It seems that you already know everything.”
These words were undoubtedly an admission.
Zhan Jiuxiao chuckled and said, “Originally, on account of us being husband and wife, I didn’t want to take her life. However, that woman refused to reveal Chu Xiaoyue’s whereabouts no matter what! She clearly knew that letting Chu Xiaoyue go would make me the public enemy of the world, but she still did that. She betrayed me, so her death is unworthy of pity!”
When he heard that Zhan Jiuxiao had really admitted it, the last hope Zhan Wuya had for Zhan Jiuxiao was completely gone. “What about Prime Emperor Yu Tian?”
“Chu Xiaoyue…”
Zhan Jiuxiao smiled mysteriously, but he didn’t explain to Zhan Wuya why he treated Chu Xiaoyue like that. Zhan Jiuxiao’s forehead suddenly turned red, and three tiger patterns appeared.
After the ball of spiritual energy in his right hand flashed, a mighty battle tiger illusion appeared beside him. As the ferocious tiger roared, weeds swayed. The entire mountain range seemed to be shaking slightly in response to the battle tiger’s call.
“Wuya, my good disciple.” An eerie smile that Zhan Wuya had never seen before appeared on Zhan Jiuxiao’s face. That smile was cold and filled with killing intent and evilness.
“After seeing my true colors, are you still willing to fight side by side with me?” This was Zhan Jiuxiao’s last chance for Zhan Wuya.
Zhan Wuya knew very well what would happen if he chose to stand against Zhan Jiuxiao.
But…
There was a ball of dark red color in Zhan Wuya’s peripheral vision. It was Zhan Jianxue, who was covered in blood. To call someone who could kill his biological daughter without hesitation a beast was an insult to beasts.
How could Zhan Wuya ally with such a person?!
To ally with him was to help an evildoer.
Zhan Wuya hugged his battle spear tightly and his expression was filled with righteousness. “Mentor, being a demon isn’t sinful in and of itself. However, you did all sorts of evil things. You even harmed your best friend and wife. You are truly the evilest person in the world!”
“Punishing evil and promoting good is the duty of Beast Tamers. The spiritual energy I cultivate is for the purpose of protecting the civilians of the world… I will never join the side of evil!”
“Very good!” Zhan Jiuxiao sneered and suddenly said, “Do you know why your brother was born weak and died early?”
