"Now, I ask, you answer." Tianmiao waved away the stench in the air before her, speaking coldly to the Great Demon.
The Great Demon didn’t utter a sound, his two massive eyes fixated on Tianmiao.
"There are cultivators outside being forcefully demonized; is it because of you?" Tianmiao asked, "Is it something secreted from you that demonized those cultivators’ spirit roots?"
Just when everyone thought the Great Demon wouldn’t respond, he simply answered with a single word.
"Yes."
The crowd was astounded. Was the Great Demon, sealed for tens of thousands of years, this easy to talk to?
"Who’s helping you with this?" Tianmiao asked again.
The Great Demon remained silent.
Meanwhile, the crowd behind Tianmiao erupted into a clamor. Someone was helping the Great Demon with this? Who? Who was so vicious as to ally with the Great Demon to commit such a heartless act?
"You think I would tell you?" The Great Demon sneered, full of mockery.
"Is he doing this to escape?" Master Wuxin suddenly spoke up, softly asking Tianmiao.
"Perhaps, but it doesn’t matter now. Because it can never happen." Tianmiao slowly walked toward the Great Demon, her voice turning icily cold the next moment, "I’ll give you one last chance. Who’s helping you do these things?"
The Great Demon sneered again, saying nothing.
Silence descended around them, not a sound to be heard.
"It seems you truly wish to die." Tianmiao sighed helplessly, speaking calmly yet deliberately, "Let me fulfill that wish for you."
When Tianmiao said this, everyone must have thought it was a mere threat, perhaps even empty boasting. To think that this Great Demon had been sealed here for ten thousand years, one could only imagine the fierce battle that ensued to seal him. A demon so powerful that no one at the time could kill him, only seal him. One could only guess at his true strength.
Yet, for some reason, deep down, they all felt a voice calling out, overturning their initial judgment, believing she could really do it.
"You?" The Great Demon laughed in disbelief, "You have no idea how high the heavens are. Do you think that using someone else’s half divine artifact to wound me means you can now do as you please? Do you even know who sealed me here? It was the City Lord of White Jade City. He used most of his vitality to seal me and perhaps died long ago, outlived by me. Hahaha, and you think you can do it?"
Tianmiao squinted slightly. It truly was a coincidence that this Great Demon was sealed by a former City Lord of Sky City?
Isn’t this a fateful encounter?
"Die, then." Tianmiao’s expression remained unchanged as she walked closer to the Great Demon’s head, slowly extending her hand, stopping just a few feet away.
At this moment, the Great Demon suddenly howled, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk, stop, wait, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you..." What made him change his mind in an instant was the sense of death he felt. This girl truly wanted to kill him and could do it. That feeling, unbelievable, but in all his years, he could distinctly feel the terror.
"Is that so?" A radiant smile bloomed on Tianmiao’s face, like a flower, as she softly parted her lips, speaking words as cold as millennial ice, "But I no longer wish to know."
The Great Demon’s massive eyes widened abruptly; he wanted to scream, to beg for mercy, but he could do nothing.
The next moment, a thunderous "boom" rang out. The Great Demon’s massive head exploded like a burst watermelon, black blood spraying in all directions, and his black vitality exploded immediately after.
The Great Demon was reduced to nothing.
