Therefore, after much deliberation, Ye Xiaofan came up with a solution; he intended to use Yunmo Yue and her group to hold back those terrifying women from the Divine Maiden Sect, thereby gaining time to inquire about Ye Xiaoyueâs whereabouts.
Seeing Yunmo Yue clearly grasp his intention, Ye Xiaofan decided to cut straight to the chase and immediately offered a temptation.
"Yunmo Yue, if you want to annihilate me, youâll need me to voluntarily fight you first; otherwise, you wonât catch me. You really want to kill me, right? Fine, once I take those two away and get what I want, you and I will have a fair duel. I believe taking those two is not a difficult task for me," Ye Xiaofan said with every step calculated.
He deliberately emphasized the words ânot a difficult task,â implying that stopping those terrifying women from the Divine Maiden Sect is not difficult for her group.
Actually, after a month-long intense pursuit, Ye Xiaofan could roughly guess Yunmo Yueâs motives.
The opponent was so keen on pursuing him for three possible reasons, of which revenge was almost ruled out, leaving two possibilities: fame or fortune.
However, from Yunmo Yueâs conduct, he didnât sense a strong obsession for the Floating Divine Hall inheritance; the pursuit was all about one thingââfameâ!
Now, Ye Xiaofan was the unprecedented phenomenon shocking the entire Hundred Sects Battle Domain, with noteworthy achievements and admiration. If Yunmo Yue could defeat him, her fame would no doubt rise, spreading throughout the Hundred Sects Battle Domain.
Although Ye Xiaofan didnât know why she was so fixated on this âfame,â he could almost guess it with certainty.
Indeed.
Yunmo Yue pondered upon hearing this. Her pursuit was indeed for the so-called âfameâ or perhaps to surpass her sister. She didnât want to remain under "that personâs" shadow forever.
Since birth, she had always lived in the shadow of her sister, the Little Demoness, which had long become a psychological affliction.
She was desperate to prove herself.
Even so, Yunmo Yue furrowed her brows and thought deeply. Stopping those female figures wouldnât be an easy task and would inevitably lead to a fierce battle.
Of course, for her, it wasnât extremely difficult, just a matter of obstruction. Neither side could easily defeat the other.
While Yunmo Yue was in thought, all the female disciples from the Divine Maiden Sect were enraged, simultaneously furious and vigilant.
Having experienced the Hundred Sects Battle Domain, how could they fail to read between Ye Xiaofanâs words? Immediately, one of the terrifying women from the Divine Maiden Sect voiced her anger.
"Ye Xiaofan, as a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, inheritor of the Righteous Sect, do you know what youâre doing?"
"Daring to collude with people from the Demon Dao intending harm towards usâwhat audacity? Are you rebelling against the Hundred Sects?"
"Unbelievable! Making deals with people from the Demon Sect? Arenât you afraid that this will spread?"
The women from the Divine Maiden Sect were all taken aback and filled with anger; the words were evident, intending to use the terrifying monsters from the Demon Dao against them.
Ye Xiaofan couldnât help but laugh mockingly, full of sarcasm, after entering the âHundred Sects Battle Domainâ for more than a year, he had seen through the so-called Hundred Sects, supposedly righteous but filled with schemes, intrigue, open and secret struggles, and the Divine Maiden Sect now wanted to leverage the disciples of the Hundred Sects to defeat him.
For him, the Divine Maiden Sect was no longer an ally, but a foe.
Of course, Ye Xiaofan was still a member of the Divine Sword Sect, a disciple of Dugu Nan, and naturally wouldnât push himself completely into the opposition between the Righteous and Demonic Dao, which is why his words were impeccable, not mentioning borrowing anyoneâs hand.
"Rebellion?"
Ye Xiaofan laughed mockingly, then retorted, shaking his head slightly: "Senior Sisters of the Divine Maiden Sect, when did you hear that I traded with people from the Demon Sect? Does agreeing for a duel with forces from the Demon Dao count as rebellion? Iâm just trying to learn my sisterâs current situation before a life-and-death battle with someone from the Demon Dao; is that wrong?"
"You..."
Upon Ye Xiaofanâs words, Yin Ruyue and her fellow women were infuriated but couldnât refute.
The earlier dialogue between Ye Xiaofan and Yunmo Yue indeed did not touch upon any âuse a borrowed knifeâ language, merely a mutual agreement for a life-and-death battle, except the young man stated a time, needing to take Mu Xin and Mu Yan away to learn what he wanted.
If taken solely from this context, there was indeed no issue, nor could it be considered rebellion.
The monsters among the terrifying monsters from the Demon Dao witnessing this couldnât help but mentally note the intelligence and temperament of the one before them, truly an extraordinary individual.
For a moment, everyone from the Divine Maiden Sect and Yunmo Yueâs group instinctively faced off, growing vigilant.
Yunmo Yue was more direct; after only brief contemplation, her actions manifested her decision.
She suddenly raised her eyes, her beautiful eyes flashing coldly, without a single excess word, directly sweeping her sword horizontally.
The Righteous and Demonic Dao donât coexist; when members of the Demon Sect and disciples of the Divine Maiden Sect clash, no rationale is neededâbattle is the only means.
"Not good, Yunyun, quickly lead everyone away from here."
Seeing this, Yin Ruyueâs face changed drastically, brandishing her sword to meet Yunmo Yueâs strike.
At the instant Yunmo Yue moved, a few monsters within the Demon Sect alongside Yunmo Yue followed suit, as if the girlâs decision was simply theirs as well.
