Chapter 15079 She might be a spy for the Holy Temple
Hong Meng stopped and turned to look at Ling Xiao: "The ruins are just ahead, so I won't go in with you! I've already spoken to the demonic cultivators and strange beasts around here, so they won't bother you. Of course, if it's Hong Mo's people causing trouble, then there's nothing I can do. In terms of overall strength, I can't compare to Hong Mo, and I hope you can understand that!"
Ling Xiao looked at the cave ahead and nodded: "Alright, you've fulfilled your obligation by bringing us here. We'll go on our own."
"Be careful, the ruins are fraught with danger, don't be careless, the dangers you encounter inside may be even more terrifying than the Flood!"
Hong Meng reminded her again.
"I see!"
Ling Xiao nodded, and then led Xiao Fen and the caterpillar into the bottomless cave.
"Aren't you afraid this is a trap set by Hong Meng? What if she and Hong Mo have already made a deal to trap you in this cave forever?"
Xia Ming couldn't help but ask.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't forget that I have the Tai Chi Eye. Moreover, my soul power is actually stronger than Hong Meng's. She wasn't lying. If we really can't get out of here, it's our incompetence and has nothing to do with her schemes."
"Okay, I'm relieved that you're mentally prepared. I was just worried that you might not be careful enough and fall into someone's trap, which would be troublesome."
Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Ling Xiao was prepared.
Little Pink nuzzled Ling Xiao with her head, clearly telling him that she would help him no matter what happened.
The caterpillar smugly said, "Don't worry, brother. We may not have many other skills, but we're number one at escaping. If we really run into trouble, just tear through the void for us, and we can easily slip away!"
"With you all here, I feel much more at ease!"
Ling Xiao smiled. He was already very good at escaping, and now with Xiao Fen and the caterpillar around, his chances of escaping would increase even more.
Outside the cave, Hong Meng had not yet left.
She looked into the cave and took a deep breath: "It all comes down to this. I hope you won't let me down. I'm really fed up with living in constant fear!"
Immediately, she turned back to look into the distance: "Dingguang, you've been following us for a long time, you can come out now."
As her voice faded, a tall, slender figure emerged from the darkness. This person seemed to possess some special ability, allowing them to completely disappear from the sight of others.
This is a man with long ears, a tall and slender figure, and a handsome appearance that surpasses even that of a woman.
The man approached Hong Meng and knelt on one knee: "Master, Hong Mo is currently in seclusion to heal his injuries. It seems he was badly beaten by that little rabbit last time. In addition, other strange beasts such as the nine-headed lion and the three-headed demon wolf have also submitted to him."
Hong Meng sighed: "There's nothing we can do. Hong Mo's idea is actually the idea of many demonic cultivators and strange beasts. It's only natural that they are willing to follow Hong Mo. Whether they are strange beasts or demonic cultivators, they all have a violent tendency. They like killing and fighting. People like us are the exception."
Dingguang glanced in the direction of the cave and couldn't help but ask, "Master, can that demonic cultivator named Lingxiao really be trusted? He's Hong Qi's grandson, so how could he possibly help us demonic cultivators sincerely? Who knows if he's even a member of the Holy Hall?"
"You don't need to worry about that. He's also a demonic cultivator, and one with the inheritance of a Demon Lord! He could never be from the Holy Temple! Besides, someone that little rabbit trusts is definitely not someone who goes back on their word. Don't let the little rabbit's innocent and naive nature fool you; she has an extremely keen sense for malice. Neither I nor Hong Mo can gain her trust, yet Ling Xiao can. This at least shows that he's worth befriending!"
Hong Meng explained.
Ding Guang nodded upon hearing this. Indeed, as Hong Meng said, how could someone trusted by the little rabbit be a villain? He didn't need to overthink it. Perhaps Ling Xiao was the key to their leaving this place and settling down in peace.
At that time, in the place where Hongmo was in seclusion, an old man in black robes was reporting to Hongmo what was happening outside.
"I never expected that kid would still get involved with Hong Meng. That Hong Meng is always trying to sabotage our revenge plan. I even suspect that she is a spy planted in our Demon Sect by the Holy Temple!"
Hong Mo sneered.
“That’s quite possible. Otherwise, how could a descendant of the Demonic Sect not hate the Holy Temple and not want to seek revenge? It doesn’t make sense at all. We don’t have any Holy Temple members here to brainwash us, so there’s only one possibility: Hong Meng is a member of the Holy Temple.”
The old man agreed with Hong Mo's assessment.
"Unfortunately, we have no evidence, and Hong Meng has gradually gained influence. Many demonic cultivators and strange beasts have believed her words and are preparing to follow her."
Hongmo frowned.
"It doesn't matter. They're just a bunch of rabble. Those who follow Hong Meng are either cowards or selfish. Few of them can actually fight. What I'm more worried about is Ling Xiao. If he joins forces with Hong Meng, our lives will be in trouble."
The old man in black robes analyzed.
“Master is absolutely right, but we have already offended Ling Xiao, and it is impossible to cooperate with him again. Why can’t that kid understand? We left here to seek revenge on the Holy Temple, which will not do him any harm. Why does he insist on stopping us? It’s simply unreasonable.”
The mention of Ling Xiao gave Hong Mo a headache.
"His concern is for the people in the chaotic martial arts world. He's worried that we'll go out and kill indiscriminately, which is understandable. In fact, even you and I can't be sure that our people won't kill indiscriminately after they go out, right? We've been cooped up here for so many years, it's normal for us to go out and vent. So from the very beginning, our conflict with Ling Xiao has been irreconcilable."
The old man in black robes sighed.
"Then we have no choice but to kill him. Where is he now?"
Hongmo asked.
“Hong Meng took that guy to the Demon Sect Ruins. We have no way to kill him there. That place is very strange and we can’t control it.”
The old man in black robes said helplessly.
"Then send someone to keep an eye on him. As soon as he comes out, we'll take action immediately. Also... Master, you need to contact Cang Lin as soon as possible and tell him to keep his men in check and not let that bitch Hong Meng win them over. Once our Demon Sect is divided internally, it will really fall apart."
Hong Mo is determined to revive the Demon Sect, so he will never allow any divisions among the descendants of the Demon Sect, which is why he has always hated Hong Meng.
"Don't worry, I've already made the arrangements. Focus on healing. Once you're back to peak condition, we won't have to fear that little rabbit anymore!" (End of Chapter)
