When Chu Tianxiao saw Qin Jiaojiao for the first time, he was shocked for a moment, but soon he calmed down, and an idea that sounded absolutely absurd came to his mind...
"She appears here, could it really be..."
Chu Tianxiao thought about it while walking slowly forward. He saw that there was only a faint red door here. There were red crystals floating everywhere. All the crystals were emitting red light, which intertwined into lines and gradually made the red door clearer...
I think that when the red door is finally formed, that will be the time when the summoned person will arrive!
But the strange thing is that this place is obviously the most important, but there is no demon or fallen demon around, not even any strange monsters. There is only a very weak body standing in front of the red door. Countless red lights fall behind her, forming a strange circular pattern...
This woman is Qin Jiaojiao!
When Chu Tianxiao appeared, her beautiful eyes trembled, and she almost subconsciously wanted to shout for help, but she quickly gave up the idea...
She tucked up her clothes, turned to look at Chu Tianxiao, unexpectedly bowed, and said, "Mr. Chu, long time no see."
"… Yeah, it's been a while."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao clenched the Xingyue Sword in his hand, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes: "What should I call you now? Miss Qin Jiaojiao of the Qin family, or... the daughter of the Demon Lord, Jiang Xianer?"
After saying this, Qin Jiaojiao's pupils shrank slightly, and then she shook her head lightly and said lightly: "At this point, I think Mr. Chu must have guessed it... In this case, why bother about the title..."
After a pause, she looked at the red door behind her, and said with a hint of melancholy: "Anyway... I'm going to die soon... Why should I care about the so-called title before I die..."
Chu Tianxiao was silent for a moment, then he unconsciously put down the Star-Moon Sword and said, "Could it be that... this ritual really requires the blood of the Jiang family to complete as I expected?"
"The demons... actually sacrificed the daughter of the Demon Lord? Who exactly are you going to summon this time?"
After this, Qin Jiaojiao unexpectedly did not remain silent. Instead, she showed an attitude of knowing everything and saying nothing. She said lightly: "It's Chan... Ku's disciple, His Highness Chan!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao frowned: "Ku's disciple? The Ku you are talking about is..."
“Yes, that is the great wise man of our demon race, Venerable Ku, Mr. Ku…” Even Qin Jiaojiao, when she mentioned the name ‘Ku’, her voice was full of admiration and respect, it was a kind of love from the heart… This kind of feeling, I believe it is very easy to understand among the demon race, but for the human race, the feeling is completely opposite…
This is probably what they call his hero, my enemy
"... Was this the plan of tonight planned by Ku?" Chu Tianxiao was not affected by the emotion in Qin Jiaojiao's voice, but asked this question immediately. Hearing this, Qin Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "No... Mr. Ku only planned a small half of the first half tonight. In other words, he... just lured Emperor Zhou away and made sure he couldn't get back before dawn. In addition, he sealed off the ancestral lands of the major divine families, shielded the secrets of heaven, and concealed the truth, allowing His Highness Chan to mobilize many powerful people to enter Kyoto..."
"Besides that, Mr. Ku did not do anything else. The rest was all planned by His Highness Chan... Otherwise, Mr. Chu would never have come before me."
Qin Jiaojiao said this with an almost blind confidence. Chu Tianxiao was silent for a moment and said, "Although it may sound a bit unpretentious... But, the Chan Highness you mentioned has done a good job. Even in this almost impossible situation, he has a backup plan..."
Chu Tianxiao looked at the red door behind Qin Jiaojiao, then glanced at the red circular pattern behind Qin Jiaojiao, and said leisurely: "If I'm not mistaken, you have merged with the Black Sky Blood Altar. To destroy the altar, you must be destroyed first, but now you... It is almost impossible for you to die before the sacrifice is completed!"
Qin Jiaojiao smiled faintly upon hearing this: "Mr. Chu is indeed very discerning. It is worth my loss to you before... Yes, even if you come here, you can't kill me. Even if you use the Holy Blood, you can't hurt me!"
"You... are at your wits' end."
“… No, I have another way.”
"Oh?" Qin Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes.
"The method is... to convince you! Then, you and I will work together to destroy this altar!"
Chu Tianxiao's eyes sparkled as he continued, "This is why I am still here talking to you even though the situation is so critical!"
"..." After saying this, Qin Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes trembled, and then she smiled playfully...
Then she started asking questions.
"Am I a demon?"
"… yes."
"If I didn't volunteer, would anyone dare to ask me to sacrifice myself based on my status as the Demon Lord's daughter?"
“… Probably not.”
"Isn't that right?" Qin Jiaojiao said with a joking smile, "I am a demon clan member, and I have inherited the long-cherished wish of my clan for thousands of years. I am willing to sacrifice myself for the demon clan, and I am not forced by others. So, what reason do you have for me to help you? Can I survive by helping you? Ha, how ridiculous..."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao shook his head: "Of course it can't be that reason... You are already standing on the altar, how can I not see your determination to die?"
"Then, what other reasons do you have?" Qin Jiaojiao said calmly, "Please forgive me, Master Chu, I can't think of any."
"The reason is actually very simple." Chu Tianxiao looked at her and said slowly, "First, although you are the daughter of the Demon Lord, you are a very interesting demon. You... don't want to be a demon, you want to be a human!"
After these words were spoken, Qin Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes trembled violently, but before she could say anything, Chu Tianxiao had already spoken a series of words, some of which were concealed, while others were as sharp as a knife, directly piercing her defenses!
"I don't know what caused this absurd thing. Were you bullied by the demons? Or did you live in the vast land of China and fall in love with this land? I have no interest in knowing these things, but it is absolutely true that you are tired of being a demon! In fact, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were of great origin, but I never thought that you were a demon. Why? It's not that my imagination is insufficient, but... you are too human! Your behavior, even your hobbies and habits, are not much different from those of a human lady... When I guessed your identity from that drop of holy blood, this extremely weird inference came to my mind... To be honest, even I was shocked at that time!"
