The Blood Moon Demon God's demonic power terrified everyone, especially when he threatened to punish the entire Snow Heaven Clan.
No one thought it was a joke. Although the True Demon Palace was one of the Twelve Halls of the Mysterious Heaven Realm, it always acted in an extreme manner and was in charge of killing.
If the Blood Moon Demon God insists that they murdered the Tianxue Futu, the crime of murdering a disciple of the Divine Hall alone would be enough to wipe out the Snow Heaven Clan.
To put it bluntly, the Snow Heaven Clan is simply too weak. In the face of the Divine Hall and even the Mysterious Heaven Realm, they are like a grain of sand, disappearing without a trace and causing no ripples.
Even if someone is wrongfully killed, they can only remain a ghost of a wronged person.
In an instant, people's faces turned grim, their eyes filled with despair. The group of black-armored demon soldiers in the sky were already sharpening their swords, their murderous aura palpable, ready to strike at any moment.
"Tsk tsk tsk... What a pity, I'm afraid the Snow Heaven Clan will be wiped out of the Mysterious Heaven Realm from now on."
In front of the Snow God Palace, Paper Kite shook her head and said with a regretful expression, "That's sarcastic."
She said this to Ling Xiao, implying that he should quickly beg her.
However, Ling Xiao remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard a thing, and didn't even glance at him.
However, Paper Kite's words caught the attention of the Blood Moon Demon God, whose blood-red eyes scrutinized her.
"Huh... what's this?"
A strange light flashed across the Blood Moon Demon God's face; he had discerned the Paper Kite's origin.
What are the people from the Avici Divine Hall doing here?
"Could it be because of this little beast?"
Thinking of this, the Blood Moon Demon God withdrew his killing intent, looked at the Paper Kite with a smile, and asked:
"Little girl, if I'm not mistaken, you come from the Avici Divine Hall. May I ask what brings you here?"
He asked with a smile, trying to find out something.
"You have a good eye. I am indeed from the Avici Divine Hall, and I am here on orders from my temple master to take care of some business."
Paper Kite adopted the air of a goddess, responding neither humbly nor arrogantly, but she was careful not to reveal her purpose for being there.
"Palace Master!?" The Blood Moon Demon God was startled. What was the Palace Master of the Avici Divine Hall doing sending people here?
When the temple master is involved, things get complicated.
"Little girl, did you come here for him?"
The Blood Moon Demon God forced a friendly smile, but his face didn't actually show any kindness.
After speaking, he pointed at Ling Xiao.
Upon hearing his words, Paper Kite immediately shook her head, vehemently denying it.
"No, I didn't come for him. The task assigned by the Palace Master is confidential, and I cannot tell you."
Someone else might have gotten away with it, but Paper Kite's somewhat hasty actions could not fool the sharp-eyed Blood Moon Demon God.
What could possibly be so important to the Lord of the Boundless Palace as to a desolate place like the Snow Heaven Clan?
All things considered, it can only be this strange kid who can defeat True Hundred Tribulations.
"Does the Avici Divine Hall want to recruit Ling Xiao?"
The Blood Moon Demon God had a sudden thought and made this guess.
Suddenly, an idea came to him.
"Boy, you killed my beloved disciple, an unforgivable crime. However, I am magnanimous and, considering your arduous cultivation, I will spare your life."
The Blood Moon Demon God ignored the Paper Kite and turned to Ling Xiao.
"Oh? You're giving me a way out?"
Ling Xiao smiled handsomely; he didn't believe the demon could have any good intentions.
"That's right, you killed my disciple. As long as you become my disciple and make amends for this mistake, I will forgive and forget about it."
Not only will I spare your life, but you can even enter my True Demon Palace."
The Blood Moon Demon God spoke persuasively, activating his premonition: he would intercept them halfway, report back to the Palace Master, and thus achieve great merit.
In his judgment, anyone who could be favored by the Lord of the Infernal Palace must have some secret or something to gain from it.
Intercept them halfway, then return to the palace master for disposal—a win-win situation.
Upon hearing this, Paper Kite immediately became anxious, and her pretty face instantly turned angry.
"Blood Moon Demon God, what do you mean? This is someone our Avici Divine Hall has its eye on!"
She was in a hurry, and blurted it out.
"Really..."
The Blood Moon Demon God laughed, a laugh radiating the pride and smugness of having outsmarted the enemy.
As he expected, the Avici Divine Hall Return wanted to recruit Ling Xiao.
That makes sense; no matter how you look at it, Ling Xiao has the ability and potential.
With proper training, he will surely become a powerful divine general.
Since the Avici Divine Hall dared to set this precedent and was not afraid of offending that Realm Lord, then their True Demon Palace was naturally not afraid either.
Suddenly, the Blood Moon Demon God changed his mind and realized that Ling Xiao was indeed quite good, far superior to his useless disciple.
He began to look at Ling Xiao with an appreciative gaze, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
However, Ling Xiao was not impressed. Their conversation made him frown and he disliked it from the bottom of his heart, feeling that he was being treated like a commodity.
You just decide you like something, did you even ask for his opinion?
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you both. I won't go back to the Avici Divine Hall with you, much less become your disciple. You're not qualified to be my master."
Ling Xiao spoke calmly, and his words shocked everyone.
Especially those Snow Heaven Clan who are unaware of this.
Ling Xiao actually refused the recruitment offer from the Avici Divine Hall, and even refused the offer to become a disciple by the divine general of the True Demon Palace.
They refused to openly patronize both major Divine Hall.
What are you going to do?
Born rebellious?
No one understood Ling Xiao's intentions; he remained unmoved despite the olive branches extended to him by two Divine Hall.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have eagerly agreed and felt incredibly fortunate to have done so.
Even a second of hesitation is disrespectful to the Divine Hall.
"Ling Xiao! You are truly hopeless! It's a waste that Lord Reincarnation has taken a liking to you."
Paper Kite stomped her feet in anger. She couldn't believe that Ling Xiao would dare to refuse her at such a critical moment. Wasn't he just courting death?
She felt that this person was truly beyond saving.
"Boy, you'd better think this through. You probably can't afford the consequences of refusing me. Not only you, but the entire Snow Heaven Clan will be buried with you."
The Blood Moon Demon God's face darkened, and an invisible aura of malevolence descended, causing everyone to shiver and feel genuine fear.
Ling Xiao remained unmoved and said with a cold laugh.
"Hehe, you can't kill me, and you can't let the Snow Heaven Clan be buried with me. To tell you the truth, I have something very important on me that the Realm Lord covets."
"If you kill me, that realm lord might think you're competing with him for this item. As for the consequences... I don't know if you can withstand the wrath of a realm lord."
Upon hearing this, the Blood Moon Demon God's cold smile froze, and a look of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes.
Is this kid telling the truth or lying?
He didn't believe it at first, but seeing Ling Xiao so calm and composed, remaining extremely calm from beginning to end, as if he had a great reliance on him.
Thinking about it this way, the Blood Moon Demon God suddenly realized that it seemed to make sense.
