Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 170: Negotiations require a tough attitude
In the crowd, a man in red was cheering.
Among the crowd of people in the martial arts world, this touch of bright red is like a red silk ribbon under the pressure of dark clouds when a storm is about to come, standing against the wind and swaying constantly.
The figure who fell down holding Li Si was Bai Yaoer. She swung a sword at the moment before the martial arts man took action, and retreated to the altar holding Li Si.
This woman's martial arts skills are so profound?
In the parade ground, people looked at the deep gully on the ground, unable to hide the shock in their eyes.
This gully was eight or nine feet long and three or four feet deep. You have to know that the ground under everyone's feet was not a loose dirt road. The training ground of the Eight Bitterness Sect was paved with solid stone slabs. Ordinary people with some martial arts skills could only make a crack even with a sword. But now, these stone slabs have turned into pieces and scattered in the rolling mud.
Not only the people in Jianghu, but even Jiang Shengming and the people from the Demon Sect were equally shocked, so much so that they missed the perfect opportunity to escape.
Jiang Shengming remembered that Bai Yaoer had told him that she had only practiced the Nine Transformations to the fifth level. But in this situation, is it something that the fifth level of internal energy can achieve?
No, even if the Nine Revolutions Strategy was a peerless magical skill, it could not be so shocking.
So what level has she reached in her cultivation?
Looking at Bai Yaoer with a sharp aura on the altar, people in the martial arts world were also guessing about her current level of cultivation.
Seventh floor?
The eighth floor?
Or, the ninth floor...
No one dared to think further, because if that was really the case, then the woman in front of them was obviously the second He Lang.
Li Si leaned weakly in Bai Yaoer's arms. Although he was quite surprised and embarrassed by their actions, he didn't have much energy to speak. Although the fight with Tang Zhong was short, it consumed a lot of his internal energy, enough to make his old illness relapse. Now he could only concentrate on practicing his skills to barely stay awake.
Half-hugging Li Si's waist, Bai Yaoer glanced at the people around her, lowered her head and whispered in Li Si's ear.
"You have a good rest , and leave the rest to me."
Feeling the warm breath on his face, Li Si inexplicably had a feeling that he might have picked up the wrong script.
But now was not the time to think about anything else, so he nodded palely and concentrated on practicing his internal energy.
Slowly helping Li Si to sit on the ground, Bai Yaoer stood up with the sword in hand, took a deep breath, and spoke calmly to the people in the arena.
"Everyone, I have been out of the mountains for a short time and do not know the rules of the martial arts world. When I first heard that the Eight Bitter Sect was a demonic sect, I was naturally surprised. However, since I have inherited the position of the sect leader, I should fulfill the duties of the sect leader. I cannot hand over my disciples to you. Now, please allow me to ask a question first."
As he spoke, Bai Yaoer turned around, pointed the sword in his hand at Jiang Shengming and asked.
"Has this person ever caused trouble in the martial arts world?"
Regarding her question, both the people in the martial arts world and the people in the Demon Sect were stunned, and no one knew what she was going to do.
Until the Shaolin Sect's abbot Yuannian put his hands together, bowed and spoke.
"Amitabha, benefactor, this man is called Jiang Shengming. He is good at using strange poisons. In the past, he used poisons to kill countless righteous men in the martial arts world. He is a heinous criminal."
"Okay." Bai Yaoer nodded while holding the sword. Compared to Yuan Nian 's words, she was willing to trust her own judgment.
So the next moment, the sword in her hand moved, turning into a cold light, sweeping across a patch of strange light, and went straight towards Jiang Shengming.
Jiang Shengming's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole, and he wanted to fly away, but it was too late. He only felt a strong chill enveloping him, paralyzing his hands and feet, and then a long sword flashed past him, accompanied by a pain in his neck.
"Puff!" A pool of dirty red blood splattered on the ground. Jiang Shengming's throat was broken and he looked blankly at Bai Yaoer's cold eyes in front of him.
He could never have imagined that Bai Yaoer would kill him so decisively without him even being able to put up any resistance.
The blood kept gushing out, staining Jiang Shengming's clothes on his chest red.
"Ho, ho."
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he could only let out two weak gasps and fell limply to the ground.
There was silence all around. Jiang Shengming opened his eyes wide and looked at the sky above. The blinding blood-red flowed across the altar. The silver brocade box was immersed in blood.
Bai Yaoer swung the sword, letting the blood splatter at her feet. She turned around calmly and spoke to the group of people in the martial arts world.
"I don't know if you are satisfied with this answer?"
As she spoke, she looked around the training grounds and spoke in an unquestionable tone.
"From now on, the Eight Bitter Sect is no longer a demon sect. As for the remnants of the demon sect in the sect, I will personally clean them out. New disciples will have to obey my orders from now on. Anyone who dares to get involved in the demon sect's affairs again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After she finished speaking, the chill on her body began to spread out, her red dress fluttered continuously, and the long sword in her hand hummed.
For a moment, the wind blew everywhere inside the mountain gate, smoke and dust were stirred, and even the sky seemed to dim a little.
On the training ground, those with lesser martial arts skills spat out blood, while the leaders of various sects also felt a tightness in their chests and unconsciously used their internal energy to resist this powerful force.
They were very familiar with this feeling; it was exactly the same feeling He Lang gave them back then.
The difference is that He Lang's might is filled with murderous intent, while Bai Yao'er's is filled with bottomless chill. It's like a thousand miles of cold river or an endless glacier, which makes people feel completely silent and unable to resist.
"Everyone from the Eight Bitterness Sect, did you hear that clearly?" Bai Yaoer asked in a deep voice amid the coldness.
"Yes!" Even under the coercion of the martial arts world, more than half of the disciples of the Eight Bitterness Sect knelt on the ground and answered in unison.
"I will follow the orders of the Sect Master!"
As for the rest, they just stood there with terrified expressions, looking at Bai Yaoer at a loss. Most of them were the people left behind by the Demon Cult.
Now, not only do the people in the martial arts world want to kill them, even the Eight Bitterness Sect can no longer tolerate them.
"As long as they are confirmed to be members of the Demon Cult, you can take them away, and I will deal with the rest."
Shifting his gaze away from the disciples of the Eight Bitterness Sect, Bai Yaoer put away his sword and spoke to the people in the martial arts world.
"So, what do you think?"
She seemed to be asking a question, but there was no questioning tone in her voice. Instead, it sounded more like a decision, a decision to end the matter without leaving any room for the people in the underworld.
Because the power between the two sides has reversed, she no longer needs to make requests or compromise.
In fact, this is true. If Bai Yaoer's martial arts skills have really reached He Lang's level, then even if all the martial artists present come together to attack her, there is no way they can stop her.
So the people in the underworld fell silent.
But what they didn't know was that Bai Yao'er's skill was only at the eighth level. Although she was not afraid of anyone in a one-on-one situation, if everyone attacked together, she would not be a match.
So far, she has only been bluffing. But even so, no one is willing to take the risk and test her bottom line.
After all, if she was allowed to escape, there would probably be endless revenge. She killed Jiang Shengming with one sword, and her decisive killing image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. No sect wants to mess with such a person.
Demonstrate your own strength, draw a clear line with the Demon Cult, then make concessions and finally reach a reconciliation. This is the countermeasure that Bai Yaoer came up with in the silence just now.
She also thought about running away with Li Si, but then the people in the underworld would definitely keep pestering her, and Li Si would also be implicated. So it would be better to do it cleanly and directly get rid of all the trouble.
They no longer regarded themselves as a cult of evil and handed over all their former disciples. From then on, they established themselves in the martial arts world as the Eight Bitterness Sect.
Bai Yaoer has already made her own concessions, and now she just has to wait for the people from Jianghu.
