The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

To be honest, what Youying said wasn't nonsense.

She will not suffer any loss by opening the Heavenly Sorrow Cave now, because she can also go in with it.

Being able to exchange something she's interested in for nothing is like receiving a free lunch; no one could refuse such an offer.

But Chi Miao was born rebellious, and had a strange, wicked nature deep down.

She has double standards.

She spoke up: "Is there some news I'm interested in? Tell me about it?"

Knowing Chi Miao's character well, You Ying had no choice but to take a gamble: "There is another half-demon in the Heavenly Pride Group."

As expected, Chi Miao narrowed his eyes.

"Another half-demon?"

Youying nodded: "Yes, this half-demon has not yet awakened, but his bloodline is special... In less than two months, he will fully awaken and become a monster like me, neither human nor demon, in front of all of you."

Chi Miao's expression tightened: "Who is it?"

Youying sneered, "Boss, this is a deal. If I tell you now, I'll have no leverage left."

"What, are you so eager to know so you can kill them beforehand, eliminate any future trouble, and ensure the reputation of the Prodigy Group isn't further damaged?"

The fact that the Prodigy Clan now has a Demon King candidate like him is already a joke. If a second one were to emerge, the Prodigy Clan's reputation in Miaohua Continent would probably plummet.

No living being would tolerate a half-demon, a monster that is neither human nor demon...

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Chi Miao said with disdain, then looked You Ying up and down for a moment. "Is the demon bloodline really that powerful? Does it lower your IQ after awakening?"

She awakened her demon bloodline and even activated her demon form, so how come she didn't become mentally challenged?

Youying was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Chi Miao: "Literally, no matter who this person is, as you said... he himself still doesn't know about this matter, so even if he becomes a demon, it's not his wish, it's not his choice, and he hasn't done anything wrong."

"He was a victim; if he didn't do anything wrong, why would I kill him?"

Upon hearing this, Youying's pupils contracted, then she gritted her teeth and her voice suddenly grew louder:

"But demons are inherently brutal! After he awakens, his temperament will drastically change, becoming cruel and ruthless. He will inevitably make mistakes in the future. If you don't kill him, how can you face the high hopes that Miaohua Continent has placed on you? You are the future leader of Miaohua Continent!!"

Chi Miao sneered: "If what you say is true, then I will definitely kill him before he does anything stupid. But if he doesn't have such thoughts... he will definitely be able to perfectly disguise himself as a human, just like you."

"Without anyone noticing, for hundreds or thousands of years, they will die of old age."

"Even saints have selfish desires, let alone a petty person like me? My friends in the Heavenly Pride Group have been with me for so long, sharing the incense offerings with me. I can't easily turn a blind eye to it."

"As for other people and other similar incidents, those are not my concern. I only care about my sect, my group, and my people."

No matter what blood flows in a person's veins, they grew up in a human environment. As long as they can pretend to be human for a lifetime, then they are human.

Youying clenched his fist, his fingers digging into his flesh, blue blood seeping through his nails. The pain spread throughout his body, tearing at his heart with every nerve.

Finally, he let out a sharp breath.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she said with a smile, "Fine, since you've said that, I have nothing more to say."

"My stance is clear now, and my purpose is also very clear. If you want to know who that person is, open the Heavenly Sorrow Cave."

I will tell you the answer.

He knew very well what kind of person Chi Miao was.

Although Chi Miao sometimes has a whimsical way of thinking and talks nonsense, she will never go against anything she says.

Caught between humans and demons, he had seen far too many different kinds of people, but few were as capable of keeping their word as Chi Miao.

Chi Miao was the strangest person he had ever met.

Chi Miao shrugged, then looked up at him: "Have you ever done anything bad?"

You Ying lowered her gaze for a moment, then revealed a quirky smile: "Guess?"

Chi Miao: "I won't guess, tell me or don't."

Youying: "I've eaten the brains of many people, so don't even think about making me turn over a new leaf... I won't turn back, I absolutely won't turn back."

He has consumed the brains of many people, which is why he has achieved his current level of cultivation.

He has been subjected to everything, from those who hurt him, humiliated him, and even innocent people.

He has even eaten the brains of demons.

Chi Miao's tolerance extends to not doing anything wrong.

But he was already on the wrong path and could not turn back, because all the evil he had encountered had bound him and left him with no other choice.

Chi Miao lowered his head and played with the Weeping Sword, then raised it, the sword light reflecting off it.

"Yeah?"

"Then next time we meet, let's forget the past."

You Ying pursed her lips and nodded: "Next time we meet, I'll eat your brain."

Chi Miao gripped the Sorrowful Sword tightly: "How do I open the Heavenly Sorrow Cave?"

Youying pointed to the enormous skeleton beside him and said:

"These bones are those of the Demon King of the Demon Clan. After the Immortal Tianbei killed him with a single sword strike, he used his bones as a guide to create a barrier, thus creating a safe zone."

"The entrance to the Heavenly Sorrow Cave is located in the center of this skull. According to everyone's guess, the Heavenly Sorrow Cave can be opened simply by inserting the Sorrowful Sword into the skull."

"The moment you open the Heavenly Sorrow Cave, I will tell you who that person is."

Chi Miao understood, and was deeply moved.

Unexpectedly, this terrifying and enormous skeleton was actually the Demon King of the Demon Clan.

Just by looking at these remains, one can sense the immense power this creature possessed in life, yet such an existence was slain by the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal with a single sword strike.

The power of immortals... truly unimaginable!

She flew on her sword and found the so-called skull. Standing on it, she searched for a while and found a very small hidden formation.

The shadowy figure landed beside him: "Let's begin."

Chi Miao nodded.

"The Heavenly Sorrow Cave...it's time to open!"

Having said that, she gripped the Weeping Sword and plunged it into the formation!

"Heavenly Compassion Cave - "

"open!!!"

The next second, something amazing happened!
