Chapter 957 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

Demon Blades and Swords. It did sound somewhat reasonable. During the great war between good and evil, each side obtained a force capable of destroying the world. The name "Sword" alone evoked a sense of righteousness, whereas its counterpart, once labeled with the word "demon", seemed fittingly ominous. "Do you have any clues?" Though the question was asked, the eldest sister disciple remained skeptical. Such crucial information coming from a solitary ghost was hard to take at face value. For a mere clue about the "Sword", countless powerful forces had been stirred, even those unrivaled masters in the midst of their tribulation stages had come forward. If everyone knew that this grim-faced spirit had information about the "Demon Blade", wouldn't they tear it apart into eighteen pieces, demanding its whereabouts? "Valuable information cannot be freely revealed..." Grim-face spoke with caution. It glanced at the Sky-Annihilating Broom in the hand of the eldest sister disciple and added, "Even if you threaten me with a divine weapon, it's no use. Rules are rules." "You've been dead for who knows how many years, and you're still talking to me about rules," Tang Xin didn't press too hard and asked, "So, what's the price for this exchange?" "You're quite straightforward." Grim-face paused. "I want the Heart of Light from the Light Clan and the Heart of Darkness from the Dark Clan. With these two treasures, I will reveal the secret of the Demon Blade." "Heart of Light and Heart of Darkness?" Tang Xin looked puzzled and turned to the slime creature that was covering its bird head with its body nearby. "What is it talking about?" "They are special treasures of the Light and Dark Clans," Cici replied. "These are two super races that rarely interact with other forces, usually remaining aloof." Super races... like the Fairy and Chaos Clans? Such groups, with their profound heritage, were not something even the super sects and immortal families would take lightly. Even during the rampant crisis caused by Spirit-devouring Worms, they never appeared. "If you are really a divine envoy," Grim-face continued as the sister disciple remained silent," obtaining these two items should not be difficult, right?" "Let's set aside whether it's difficult or not," Tang Xin frowned. "What do you want these treasures for? I don't want to revive a great demon lord." "First, I'm not a demon lord; second, I can't be revived," Grim-face explained sincerely. "I want these items to maintain my current form. You know, even an obsession can't exist forever. Only the power of the Heart of Light and the Heart of Darkness can keep this bit of my obsession from dispersing for ten thousand years." "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes that require your obsession to last so long?" Tang Xin raised an eyebrow. "Tell me, and I’ll see if I can help you fulfill them, so you can ascend sooner." "It's no use," Grim-face said lightly. "Some matters, outsiders can’t intervene..." The sister disciple didn’t immediately agree. After all, Grim-face had previously assisted Phoenix Fairy in stirring up relations between humans and non-human races, showing it wasn’t exactly benevolent. But she also didn’t want to miss the opportunity to learn about the Demon Sword. After thinking for a while, Tang Xin approached Phoenix Fairy and kicked her bird claw, asking, "Hey, is this grim-face trustworthy?" Chirp chirp chirp— "So, so, I'm unworthy of being a divine envoy. Then, can you answer my question?" Chirp chirp chirp— "You wouldn't cooperate even if it kills you? Say that again? Believe it or not, I'll pluck all your feathers?" Chirp! "Divine envoy, can you understand the bird language of the Phoenix Clan?" "I can't, but based on the length and fluctuations of her chirps, I can guess what she means." At her cultivation realm, usual torture was ineffective, but every intelligent creature had a weakness. After pretending to pluck a few feathers from Phoenix Fairy's wing, she humbly submitted, telling her that although Grim-face was morally ambiguous, it was trustworthy and had never duped her in deals. "Non-human races value integrity very much, unlike humans!" She added. Tang Xin returned below Grim-face and shouted, "Alright, I agree to the deal," her tone shifted, "but first, you need to give me a benefit, proving you're not playing me." "You really are a greedy ghost." Grim-face was so angry it was speechless. It was this very person who had initiated the threat, yet had the audacity to demand benefits shamelessly. If there were a choice, who would want to deal with such a person? "Most of my secret techniques are from non-human races; you can't cultivate them," Grim-face said. "But this 'Void Mantra', you can give it a try." Saying this, a cluster of black mist descended from the sky, landing on the sister disciple's forehead. 【Void Mantra: A special secret method that significantly boosts your speed, stability, and safety while traversing through the void. "After cultivation, be careful while flying, and avoid traffic accidents!" "Deal," Tang Xin nodded, having received a benefit, "I will bring the Heart of Light and the Heart of Darkness soon. Let me make it clear beforehand, if you deceive me, even if you're just a bit of obsession, I will spare no effort in my retaliation." "Are you really a 'divine envoy'? Your words sound more like those of a demon lord..." After reaching a temporary agreement with Grim-face, Tang Xin turned her attention back to Phoenix Fairy, enveloped in slime. She raised her broom, its tip flickering with lightning and flame. "If you still think of resisting, I'll burn you bald and then take you back to the City of Myriad Tribes." "Hmph," Phoenix Fairy glared at her with resentful eyes. "Do as you wish! Do you think I'll submit to you?" "I don't know what you're thinking," Tang Xin said coldly, "I won't kill you. I'll let you face the members of various races in the City of Myriad Tribes and confess everything you've done." "Targeting me, I actually have no complaints. I can somewhat understand your feelings. Adoring a sacred ancestor from childhood, who hasn't appeared for hundreds of thousands of years, and then, the important 'recognition' was given to a foreigner. It's like if the Master of the Xuan Ling Sect chose an unknown outsider as the chief disciple, I would be somewhat displeased too." "However," Tang Xin's voice grew colder, "targeting me is one thing, but you should not have disrupted the peaceful coexistence between non-human races and humans! You built your selfishness on the basis of ignoring the interests of everyone else." "For someone like you, I can only say two words... "Disgusting!" Berated harshly by the divine envoy, Phoenix Fairy had no power to retort. She initially wanted to make a comeback, but facing the other's expression, she suddenly found herself at a loss for words. Because the "Divine Envoy's" words indeed stood from the standpoint of non-human races' interests, fundamentally, far surpassing her own... A scolding was definitely not enough. Having caught the prime culprit, Tang Xin and Cici hit the road again, returning to Fang Clan City before the sect elders could die of anxiety.
