Bai Rufeng's words made the bodies of the cultivators present tremble once more. Their gazes then converged on Su Shi'er.
None of them had taken part in the earlier battle; only the East Sea Sword Saint had returned in time.
By the time the others returned, they had hurried straight to the main hall to discuss arrangements for what came next.
Not many cultivators knew the precise details of what had happened during the battle.
Now that they heard Su Shi'er possessed demonic cultivation techniques—and was no novice in them—their eyes turned wary and suspicious as they looked at him.
After all, although Su Shi'er and the others had held back the horde of demons, countless cultivators and mortals had still died in the battle.
The situation outside looked utterly miserable.
With the War of Dao and Demons reignited, this was an especially sensitive moment.
Ren Yunzong frowned deeply. This time, he did not rush to respond.
He had not yet had the chance to learn the full details of the previous battle, but he did know something about Su Shi'er's circumstances.
"How is it? Does Sect Master Ren not know, or has he not decided how to explain it?"
"Then perhaps Fellow Daoist Su can explain it himself?"
Bai Rufeng continued pressing the issue, his burning gaze fixed on Su Shi'er.
Su Shi'er gave a muffled snort and said irritably, "What does Fellow Daoist Bai want Su to explain? Whether Su is human or demon—can Fellow Daoist Bai not see for himself?"
"Fellow Daoist Su is naturally human at present. But whether he will remain human or become a demon in the future is hard to say. What demonic cultivation techniques signify is surely not something only Fellow Daoist Su understands. The other cultivators should understand it as well."
