Chapter 406: Chapter 407: Ten Phases, Yama!

In this region, there was suddenly silence!

Stillness!

“Master, does the Saint Master know you? Do you have some inexplicable connection?” Miao Yin asked Yang Yan through a secret transmission.

The Evil God’s emergence would signal the rise of the Evil Demon Sect!

The death of a Successor of the Demon within the Evil Demon Sect was merely a minor issue.

Not to mention the death of one Successor of the Demon, even ten or a hundred.

The Elders of the Evil Demon Sect would not care as long as they could ascend to the pinnacle.

If Yang Yan had no connection to Miao Yin, she would also agree with the Elders of the Evil Demon Sect.

Because most martial artists of the Evil Demon Sect were selfish and self-serving.

As long as it didn’t affect them and was beneficial to them, they didn’t care who died!

But Yang Yan was connected to Miao Yin, and she could not lose Yang Yan.

This was the only reason she did not support the Elders of the Evil Demon Sect in her heart.

But what about the New Saint Master?

The reason the Elders and the renowned figures of the Evil Demon Sect jointly supported the New Saint Master was because they believed,

the New Saint Master had the ability to lead the Evil Demon Sect to the pinnacle!

The New Saint Master’s goal would also be to lead the Evil Demon Sect to the pinnacle!

Now, the shortcut to the pinnacle was within reach.

But the New Saint Master opposed the numerous Elders of the Evil Demon Sect, suggesting that the reason was not so simple.

Miao Yin speculated that Yang Yan and the New Saint Master knew each other, with the greatest possibility being that Yang Yan and the New Saint Master had a connection!

Otherwise, based on her understanding of the New Saint Master, who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and heartless,

how could it be possible to make such a big fuss over a Successor of the Demon!

Yang Yan did not respond to Miao Yin’s question.

*Only he knew in his heart that the New Saint Master should have recognized him!*

As to why she was protecting him, he wasn’t sure either…

“I only had a brief encounter with her!”

The other party helped him kill the attacker, and a silver strand of hair was wrapped around his finger to protect him, which was already unusual!

Now, in front of all the Elders and experts of the Evil Demon Sect, she was protecting his life!

She was too good to him!

*He recalled for a moment but still didn’t find much connection with this New Saint Master!*

“The real reason, I’m afraid only the New Saint Master knows,” Yang Yan thought.

Elder Gu, clad in a black robe, wore a stiff smile.

“What is the Saint Master doing…”

He also found it strange!

“Could it be that the New Saint Master is emotionally moved? That shouldn’t be possible; he’s just a Demon Child!”

She had once saved a righteous person in Life and Death City because that person resembled her deceased brother.

That could be considered reasonable!

But today, for an unknown Demon Child, she was opposing all the Elders of the Evil Demon Sect’s sect.

Her behavior was completely different from the New Saint Master he knew!

She was acting entirely out of character!

“Could it be…”

The black-robed Elder Gu suddenly thought of something, and his gaze penetrated the Demonic Qi masking Yang Yan’s face.

“It is really him; no wonder!”

He recognized Yang Yan’s identity the moment he saw Yang Yan’s true face.

He was the righteous cultivator in Life and Death City whom the New Saint Master had sent people to protect!

“I can see through him, and surely the Saint Master should have recognized his true identity long ago.

Wait, what if he isn’t from the Righteous Path but from the Demon Path!” A strange feeling arose in his heart.

In Life and Death City, he hadn’t sensed any signs of the other cultivating a Demon Technique.

Now the Demonic Qi on him was cascading like a waterfall, like a Great Demon King!

They were completely two different appearances!

“He was disguised in Life and Death City, hidden very deeply, truly an extraordinary person.

But the Saint Master wouldn’t consider these things!

The Saint Master only knew that he was now a disciple of the Evil Demon Sect!

This time, the New Saint Master,

would protect him even if it cost her life!” Elder Gu thought to himself.

The righteous cultivators and the Evil Demon Sect were irreconcilable* naturally destined to be mortal enemies!

The New Saint Master belonged to the Evil Demon Sect and had saved him once due to fate.

Meeting again in the future would still make them enemies due to their respective standings.

However, the other being a martial artist of the Evil Demon Sect, who also closely resembled the New Saint Master’s deceased brother,

meant the New Saint Master would certainly not allow herself to watch him die.

Especially since his death decision was to be made by the New Saint Master herself!

This was equivalent to having the New Saint Master kill her brother with her own hands!

Given the bond between the New Saint Master and her deceased brother,

the New Saint Master could not possibly issue the order to kill her brother even if it meant her own death!

“The Saint Master is bound to find herself in great trouble going against everyone like this!” Elder Gu thought to himself.

Just as he predicted, after a brief silence, someone spoke out!

“Saint Master, we chose you as the New Saint Master,

wanting you to lead the Evil Demon Sect to the pinnacle!

The nearest road lies right before us now.

Our Evil Demon Sect is about to prosper!

Yet you refuse to act and instead tell a great lie to save a Demon Child’s life,

claiming he hasn’t cultivated the Evil God Demon Scripture!

Are you blind? Tell me why you would do this; are you still the Saint Master for the future of the Evil Demon Sect or not?” The Elder exposed Yang Yan’s identity without averting his gaze from the New Saint Master, fearlessly questioning her.

The New Saint Master, adorned with flowing silver hair and a monocular mask, had glacial light bursting in her eyes.

“Do I need to explain how I act to you?”

A cold snort filled the air!

“Saint Master, you don’t need to explain to just him,

but the emergence of the Evil God concerns whether our Evil Demon Sect will prosper in the future.

This is a matter for all of us in the Evil Demon Sect!

You may not explain it to him, but what about us?

As the New Saint Master, shouldn’t you explain it to everyone in the Evil Demon Sect?

And don’t forget, if not for our collective support for you as the Saint Master of the Evil Demon Sect,

you wouldn’t even have had the chance to stand in that position, giving orders and flaunting your authority over us!” Another Elder from the Evil Demon Sect stood out to question the New Saint Master.

After him, many Elders of the Evil Demon Sect voiced their opinions.

“Indeed, New Saint Master.

I think you should give us an explanation!

We’ve entrusted you as the New Saint Master because we trust you!

But now you are disappointing us!

This forces us to think selecting you as the New Saint Master was a wrong decision!”

“If you insist on such a wrong decision, we can depose you of your Saint Master status and appoint a New Saint Master who is devoted to the Evil Demon Sect!”

Seeing the multitude of Elders of the Evil Demon Sect opposing the New Saint Master, Elder Gu spoke.

“Dear Elders of the Evil Demon Sect, please calm down.

The Saint Master does have a reason for her opposition.

Saint Master, for this old man’s sake,

will you explain?

I believe the reason, once revealed, will be understandable to the Elders of the Evil Demon Sect!”

In his view, the New Saint Master didn’t disclose the reason because it was a personal matter to her.

Yet, no matter how personal, it should be communicated.

Otherwise, the Elders of the Evil Demon Sect might no longer recognize the New Saint Master!

Then there would be great trouble!

The New Saint Master’s gaze was sharp.

“Since Elder Gu has spoken up, I shall explain to you all!

The reason is quite simple!

Without the Evil God,

I can still lead the Evil Demon Sect to prosperity!

By sparing him,

I can still lead the Evil Demon Sect to suppress the Righteous Path!”

Elder Gu’s expression changed; this explanation was different from what he anticipated.

“Not good, the Saint Master is too persistent!”

On the other side, many Evil Demon Sect Elders, upon hearing the New Saint Master’s explanation, turned grim, wearing cold smiles.

“Saint Master, we aren’t underestimating you,

but when the Evil God once existed in this world, even as it was restrained by something,

it crushed numerous eras, bringing the Evil Demon Sect to the pinnacle.

But you!

Without Elder Gu’s support and persuasion, you wouldn’t have become the New Saint Master!” One Elder of the Evil Demon Sect spoke ruthlessly.

“Indeed, Saint Master, you are overly arrogant.

Your strength relies entirely on Elder Gu!

Without him, we wouldn’t heed you!”

“Your current thoughts will lead the Evil Demon Sect to destruction.

I think starting today, the Evil Demon Sect should elect a new New Saint Master!”

Elder Gu’s expression drastically changed; these Elders of the Evil Demon Sect were crossing the line!

He knew the New Saint Master’s strength better than anyone; she could stand as the New Saint Master even without him.

It just wouldn’t be easy without a solid foundation!

Thus, he hastily wanted to reveal the true reason why the New Saint Master spared Yang Yan, because Yang Yan resembled the New Saint Master’s deceased brother,

to ease the tension and help everyone understand the New Saint Master’s true intention!

“Hahaha, all thanks to Elder Gu!

You all chose me!

Do you really think I have no skills?

Fine!

Today, I will show you whether I possess the strength of a New Saint Master!

And if I can lead you against the Righteous Path!”

Elder Gu was shocked.

“Saint Master…”

The Elders of the Evil Demon Sect immediately became vigilant!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The void vibrated, and behind all the Elders of the Evil Demon Sect, swirling black vortexes suddenly appeared.

Massive black tentacles emerged from the vortexes.

The speed was so swift that even the vigilant Elders of the Evil Demon Sect had no time to react.

They were instantly captured by the black tentacles around their necks, restrained on the spot!

One Elder from the Evil Demon Sect, seeing this scene, showed a look of horror!

“This is… Ten Phases, Yama!”
