Chapter 2271: Chapter 2266: Wang Xi’s Scheming

Niu Yingzi stepped forward and looked at Lu Gou.

Lu Gou coughed and said, "That’s not right, you killed my eldest disciple Meng Xiao first."

"Who is Meng Xiao? Is he one of the West Desolation Demon’s people, and who is the West Desolation Demon? A spy sent to West Desolation from the Demon Abyss. Do you think we were wrong in killing Meng Xiao?"

Tang Ming looked at Lu Gou and asked.

"Senior Brother was deceived by the West Desolation Demon."

Zeng Wang saw his master being questioned and spoke up directly.

Fox Bachang sneered dismissively, then said, "Weren’t your brothers also deceived by the West Desolation Demon? Your enemy is the West Desolation Demon, right? Without the West Desolation Demon, you wouldn’t have ended up like this, would you?"

Although Fox Bachang had muddled the perception a bit, for Lu Gou and his disciples, it was somewhat of a psychological solace.

"Alright, we’ll talk about those matters later. First, I want to discuss the Purification Water."

Tang Ming stood up, extending a hand, a bottle of water appeared in his palm.

Fox Bachang noted Tang Ming’s signal and sent someone outside. Shortly, a fellow similarly bearing Demon Patterns was brought in.

"Sir, can this truly purify the Demon Patterns on my body?"

The middle-aged man brought in hesitantly looked at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming smiled and said, "Indeed, it can purify the Demon Patterns on you. More precisely, it will purify everything about you; after drinking it, you will no longer be a cultivator, but like an ordinary person."

"Like an ordinary person? Doesn’t that mean my immortal power will disappear too? Can I cultivate my immortal power again?"

The middle-aged man looked surprised at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming shook his head and said, "Being tainted by the aura of the Demon Abyss always comes with a price. This is a small price indeed; after all, you won’t turn into a demon."

"In this state, can I still become a demon? Aren’t demons supposed to be very powerful?"

The man suddenly lifted his head and looked at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming then looked at Fox Bachang beside him.

Fox Bachang snorted coldly and said, "Thinking of defecting to the Demon Abyss? Despicable."

A dark mist bound the man, pulling him directly to Fox Bachang’s side.

"No, I didn’t, I didn’t. Spare me. I just don’t want to become a waste."

The man shouted, but Fox Bachang poured the Purification Water down his throat.

Indeed, after drinking the Purification Water, the black Demon Patterns on the man quickly faded, along with the disappearance of the immortal energy within him.

The man trembled as he sat on the ground; "You people, how could you do this, I said I didn’t want it."

"Remember, you’re a captive now. It’s not your decision to make."

Fox Bachang snorted and then looked over at Lu Gou.

Lu Gou took a deep breath and said, "I understand about the Purification Water. Let’s talk about demonization now."

"The matter of demonization also requires our interrogation. After all, we need demons loyal to Taoyuan World, not those who are enemies of Taoyuan World."

Tang Ming discussed the matter of espionage, causing Lu Gou’s eyebrows to arch continuously, while the Zeng family brothers’ eyes flickered with some strange light.

While Tang Ming was discussing the demonization matter with Lu Gou and the Zeng family brothers. Wang Xi was following beside the West Desolation Demon.

After handing that Demon Artifact to Skeleton Master, the West Desolation Demon began packing up, preparing to leave the West Desolation.

After all, that Demon Artifact would expose too many of his secrets.

Once the Zeng family brothers were demonized, they would also expose the Emperor’s statue treasure. This was all anticipated by him.

"Ah Wang Xi, I never expected that after all these years of cultivating so many people in West Desolation City, only you would be willing to leave with me."

The West Desolation Demon lamented, while Wang Xi behind him trembled slightly at his words.

"Master, Wang Xi is willing to follow by your side forever."

Wang Xi still remembered the time when the West Desolation Demon summoned him along with his Master.

The room was packed with powerful figures from their sect, from his master, uncles to senior and junior brothers.

The West Desolation Demon’s gaze swept over them: "I am no longer the City Lord of West Desolation City. Soon, this land will fall into the hands of those Demon Foxes from the Fox Spirit Mountain Range. I am leaving now; is there anyone who wants to leave with me?"

"Master, you’re leaving here? But West Desolation is our root. We still need to fight against the demons from the Demon Abyss here. If we leave here, where can we go?"

Wang Xi’s Master was puzzled by the words of the West Desolation Demon and looked at him in astonishment, asking.

The West Desolation Demon grinned and said, "Where to go isn’t something you need to concern yourselves with, you just need to tell me whether you want to leave with me."

"Master, could you write a letter recommending me to the Tower Master of the Dark Tower? If I contribute over there, I believe the Master won’t blame you for leaving the West Desolation."

Wang Xi’s Master chuckled as he looked at the West Desolation Demon.

The others standing nearby began to echo the sentiment, thinking that going to the Tower Master of the Dark Tower was where they could obtain their benefits.

After all, once the West Desolation Demon gave up on the West Desolation, it meant relinquishing power.

The chaos of the Jiulong Dynasty meant only the Tower Master of the Dark Tower could regain control of power.

Leaving with the West Desolation Demon was nothing but suffering.

Wang Xi looked at the surrounding senior and junior brothers, uncles, and elders, taking a deep breath; he was different from them. He was already under the Niu Family’s control.

After returning to West Desolation City, what he needed to do was provide intelligence to the Niu Family, not enjoy the rights at the Dark Tower.

For West Desolation, the West Desolation Demon was significant; with his escape, the Niu Family might vent their anger on him.

If he left information about his escape and followed by his side, he would seemingly become useful.

"Master, Wang Xi is willing to leave with you and serve by your side."

Wang Xi stood up and went next to the West Desolation Demon.

The people in the room were stunned, including Wang Xi’s Master and the West Desolation Demon.

The West Desolation Demon coughed twice, then laughed heartily: "Haha, great, among all of you, only Wang Xi has a conscience. Good. You will follow me from now on."

"Master, I am willing too."

A previously boastful uncle of Wang Xi stood up, smiling as he tried to approach the West Desolation Demon.

The West Desolation Demon’s face showed a mocking smile and said, "Oh really? Unfortunately, I only need one person by my side, and with Wang Xi, that’s enough."
