Chapter 350: Chapter 350

"There's one thing that's very interesting. You must keep it secret and not tell others," Xiaoyao said, his tone somewhat serious.

"My mouth is very tight. At most, I'll keep an eye on Nangong Suxin," the Young Miss said, patting her chest.

The others in the carriage felt speechless. The one they should be most worried about should be you. The one who needs watching should also be you.

"My blood seems a bit special—it has Demon Cult bloodline," Xiaoyao said.

"You've mentioned this before. When you opened the Demon Palace, you dripped blood. Have you forgotten? This is very normal—it's possible we all have some," Nangong Suxin reminded Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "No, something happened recently. I originally thought I only had a little bit, but I didn't expect my bloodline to be incredibly pure—so pure that I could directly become the Demon Cult Master, and no one in the Demon Cult would oppose it, though I might not have real power."

The women fell silent. This answer was indeed unexpected, and this matter was very shocking—Xiaoyao could actually become the Demon Cult Master.

Regardless of whether the Demon Cult was righteous or evil, in terms of power alone, if the Demon Cult claimed to be second on the continent, no one would dare claim to be first, and this was with absolute advantage that made people submit.

Even if Xiaoyao had no real power, he would still become one of the most powerful figures on the entire continent.

This felt very strange—a small servant could become one of the most powerful people on the continent...

"Unexpected, right? I didn't expect it either. At that time, Hei Xue brought a group of people over and had me open a box..." Xiaoyao naturally accepted the women's shocked silence and continued talking about what happened then.

"Wait. Hei Xue? You mean that Hei Xue from the Demon Cult?" Nangong Suxin frowned. How was it this woman again?

"Yes. Didn't I just say I went to Black Wind Stronghold to investigate the situation? After learning about the woman from the Martial Arts Holy Land who brought a child there, I poisoned and killed the people at Black Wind Stronghold. Then at the entrance of Black Wind Stronghold, I was blocked by people from Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

"Wait, didn't you just mention the Demon Cult's Hei Xue? How did Ten Thousand Swords Sect appear?" Nangong Suxin expressed great curiosity about this.

"This Ten Thousand Swords Sect is a branch of the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult has many branches existing on the continent—some have already become orthodox sects, some are empires..." Xiaoyao said. He hadn't told Nangong Suxin and others about this matter before, since it was a Demon Cult secret.

However, it was only a Demon Cult secret, and Xiaoyao had no obligation to protect it too much. In this situation, he casually told these girls about it—it wasn't much.

"Branches? Empires?" Third Miss Nangong muttered, then came to a conclusion: "Greedy Wolf Empire."

"Yes, Greedy Wolf Empire is one of them," Xiaoyao nodded.

"I was also wondering why that Prince Li Cheng was so friendly to you back then. It turns out it's because they're also a Demon Cult branch. Now that the Demon Cult's Demon Palace has appeared, these branches all want to return to the Demon Cult, but they want to seize some power within it, so they need your support," Third Miss Nangong analyzed, basically getting the gist of the matter.

"Don't you find this strange?" Xiaoyao discovered this matter didn't seem to surprise the others too much.

"I discovered some clues before. The Great Tang Empire also has some relationship with the Demon Cult. Don't forget, the Great Tang military's intelligence organization is in my hands," Third Miss Nangong said with a smile. "If you investigate, you'll always find something."

"That's true," Xiaoyao nodded.

This matter wasn't difficult to understand, though Xiaoyao hadn't paid attention to it. Under normal circumstances, if you didn't focus on it, you wouldn't notice this matter.

"Continue. Did Ten Thousand Swords Sect accompany Hei Xue?" Nangong Suxin asked casually, seemingly not very concerned about this question, but her eyes were very focused on Xiaoyao.

"You could say they accompanied her," Xiaoyao nodded. That situation could be considered as such.

"What do you mean 'could say'?" Nangong Suxin asked again, seemingly unconcerned.

"Why are you asking about this? What's important about it?" the Young Miss asked incomprehensibly. "When did you become such a gossip?"

Just now you weren't this curious. Many questions more important than this, you could wait until later to ask.

"I think this is very important." Nangong Suxin said somewhat seriously.

When the Young Miss was about to continue, Xiaoyao had already spoken first: "This is quite interesting. I said 'could say' because Hei Xue was captured and brought by Fan Gao from Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Her status at that time was a prisoner."

"Prisoner? What do you mean?" the Young Miss couldn't help being curious too.

"Fan Gao wanted to seize power, and Hei Xue was naturally the biggest obstacle. Besides, that box was originally in Hei Xue's hands. If he wanted to steal this credit, he had to capture Hei Xue," Xiaoyao said.

"How could Hei Xue be captured so easily?" the Young Miss was quite curious about this. Hei Xue was the Demon Cult's female demon head with quite a few experts around her.

"She was betrayed—just some internal Demon Cult struggles. You wouldn't be interested. Let's talk about the key point. Their box was left over from more than three thousand years ago and had never been opened. Only blood with relatively pure Demon Cult bloodline could open it. At that time, they had all tried, and only I was left. Finding me was just trying with the attitude of giving it a shot, but unexpectedly I opened it."

Xiaoyao continued: "Don't ask why—I don't know either. But based on a record in that box, I deduced some things. It said the Demon Cult originated from a place outside the continent. I think this is the Martial Arts Holy Land, because my parents might be from the Martial Arts Holy Land, which would explain having that kind of Demon Cult bloodline."

"No way, the Demon Cult comes from the Martial Arts Holy Land? But they're evil." the Young Miss immediately responded, expressing disbelief.

"This is just my speculation." Xiaoyao replied. "Also, the Demon Cult isn't evil. Have you seen them do evil things? They weren't originally called the Demon Cult either, but the Moyun Cult."

"Speaking of which, it seems like no. Regardless, you mean that you being able to open this Demon Cult box is also because your bloodline comes from the Martial Arts Holy Land, which means the Demon Cult might also come from the Martial Arts Holy Land," the Young Miss didn't delve too deeply into whether the Demon Cult was evil or not, because this matter wasn't important to her at all.

"Yes. It's also possible it's not. Fang Chunxue's and Princess Zhuyue's men might be members of a hidden Demon Cult branch. Perhaps one of them gave me such bloodline. But so far, the Martial Arts Holy Land possibility is greater—the time, people, and place all match better," Xiaoyao said.

"But we don't even know the names of those men and women from the Martial Arts Holy Land. This is very troubling," Nangong Suxin said.

"This isn't a problem. We have their portraits. We can ask around when the time comes," Xiaoyao said.

"Right, exactly. The Martial Arts Holy Land shouldn't be very big, so it'll be convenient to search," the Young Miss nodded.

"Yes." The source of this content ɪs novel⁂fire.net

Almost everyone at this moment thought the Martial Arts Holy Land wasn't big, but they didn't know this place exceeded their imagination and wasn't that small.

After chatting about this topic for a while, they began changing subjects. Sometimes they talked about Xiaoyao's experiences, sometimes about Guxing's life, and sometimes about wine—this was naturally brought up by the Young Miss.

Anyway, there was nothing else to do, so everyone chatted casually. Time could pass faster this way, and this feeling was also very good, very harmonious, just like a family sitting together.

However, if these people became one family, it would be a very lively family...

Deep into the night, the carriage continued. The old man outside, as an Emperor Level martial artist, found staying up all night trivial. Even with Xiaoyao constantly inside, he could easily complete the carriage driving.

He also had no intention of calling Xiaoyao to switch shifts while outside. This wasn't because he was kindly considering Xiaoyao, but because he wanted to drive the horses faster himself so they could reach their destination sooner.

Although this "sooner" might not be much time, for him any earlier was better. He had waited so long already—anyone could understand this feeling.

Xiaoyao had originally wanted to go out and switch shifts. The packages in his hands were also finished—five of them, one for each person except Third Miss Nangong, including the old man outside.

Third Miss Nangong at this moment hadn't thought about not having one, because she considered the old man's as hers. Otherwise, she would have already questioned Xiaoyao about why he didn't make one for her.

This reason was actually very simple. Xiaoyao would immediately give it: You're a talented woman, delicate and weak—would carrying this be suitable for you? They're different—they're all Emperor Level martial artists with plenty of strength.

"Xiaoyao, if you find your parents, how do you plan to introduce us?" Nangong Suxin suddenly asked Xiaoyao this question when everyone was about to sleep.

"Introduce what?" Xiaoyao asked, not understanding.

"Introduce us." Nangong Suxin pointed to herself and the other girls.

"Can't you introduce yourselves? What do I need to introduce? How boring. I'm going to sleep. Good night," Xiaoyao thought Nangong Suxin was being boring, asking such a boring question.

"You're so dense, Xiaoyao. She means how would you introduce what we are to you," the Young Miss said.

"Mo Yu, what do you mean 'introduce me'? Don't you need introduction too?" Nangong Suxin said irritably.

"Of course not. I'll tell them I'm his brother. I don't need Xiaoyao to introduce me—I'll do it myself." the Young Miss said very casually.
