Chapter 238: 132 Xiao'er! You are my god! Publicly execute Ye Chen! Subdue Niu Batian! (Climactic Chapter)_2
This man, despite his deep loyalty, has a fiery temper and is ruthless in his actions! Now that this leader of the Hard Bang Gang is speaking so arrogantly, I'm afraid he'll…
At this moment, Xiao Hongling was also quietly channeling her True Qi, ready to step in and protect her beloved disciple at any time!
Indeed, ever since she stepped into this grand hall, she discovered that this Sect Master of the Evil Extreme Sect seemed to be much stronger than she had imagined! If she were to go all out, it would take at least two sword strikes!
"HAHAHAHAHA."
In the deathly silent atmosphere, Niu Batian unexpectedly burst into loud laughter. Then, his tiger eyes, as large as bronze bells and radiating a murderous aura, fixed on Lin Xiao with keen interest. "Such bold words, Sir. Might you remove your mask and show your face? Hmm?"
"My apologies, Sect Master Niu. I'm afraid that won't be possible for now."
Lin Xiao's expression remained unchanged, his demeanor calm as he said, "You issued this Hero's Invitation, summoning all the Semi-Monster Demonic Cultivators in the central Eastern Region to come and offer support. It's all for dealing with the Northern Territory Queen and capturing Beacon City, is it not?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Batian stood with his hands on his hips and said unhurriedly, "Heh, this... Brother Tiger, please continue."
Lin Xiao continued, "It seems Sect Master Niu indeed harbors such intentions. In that case, it appears we walk different paths. So, I shall take my leave!"
"Disciples, let's go!"
He deliberately gestured to his Master and the others, then turned around, making a show of leaving.
"You... you cannot leave!"
Just as Lin Xiao had expected, Niu Batian commanded coldly, "Since you're here, you should adapt. A guest should defer to the host. Don't you understand such a simple principle, Brother Tiger?"
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Naturally, I would like to stay. But Sect Master Niu, you seem determined to walk a path to ruin. The Hard Bang Gang has only a handful of members; we can't possibly follow you to our deaths, can we?"
Though his tone was calm, his words struck like a thunderbolt out of the blue, utterly shocking everyone present!
"That's outrageous! This Ji'er Bangying is far too arrogant!"
"Sect Master Niu! You are one of the eight great Demonic Path leaders in the entire Eastern Region! This brat has insulted you repeatedly. How can you tolerate this?"
"This is utterly intolerable!"
"Slaughter his gang, burn his entire family, beat his mother!"
The surrounding Demonic Cultivators could no longer suppress their rage and erupted in furious shouts.
"Well now, you... Ji... Brother Ji'er, did you hear them?"
Niu Batian, however, appeared unnervingly calm. A sinister smile spread across his wide mouth as he said, "If you don't provide a proper explanation for your arrogant words today, this Sect Master will find it hard to appease the masses without taking your life."
"Very well! Since Sect Master Niu is showing such patience, today, I shall point out a clear path for everyone!"
Lin Xiao, his aura formidable, slammed one hand on the table. His other hand, hidden behind him, secretly squeezed his Master's fair, jade-like hand, signaling her not to worry.
Then, he stood up and, looking at Niu Batian who was two heads taller than him, countered with a question, "May I ask, Sect Master Niu, what do you seek to gain by conquering Beacon City? Have you truly considered it?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Batian deliberated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! This Sect Master has summoned all of you here today precisely to discuss the grand plan for conquering Beacon City!"
With that, he turned to face all the assembled guests and declared, "Everyone present, regardless of your origins, your allegiances, or the level of cultivation you have attained, there is one thing that cannot be changed!"
"Like myself, Niu Batian, every one of you carries the blood of ancient monster beasts!"
"We are Semi-Monsters! We are beings looked down upon by human cultivators and by the pure-blooded demon races from beyond our lands!"
Growing increasingly impassioned, tears welled in his tiger eyes. He raised his arms high and cried out with stirring fervor, "I have a dream! That one day, our descendants, like human cultivators, will openly and honorably enjoy the bounty of this fertile, Spiritual Energy-rich land! And they will no longer suffer any discrimination or oppression!"
"It's true, we are neither human nor demon! But that in no way diminishes the fact that we are a noble and proud race!"
"I, Niu Batian, have cultivated arduously since my youth, enduring countless hardships, never daring to slacken even for a moment! And now, finally, as a Semi-Monster, I have emerged from the Evil Wind Ridge to stand above those arrogant human Demonic Cultivators!"
"Everything I have done is not to prove myself, but to convey a message to my beloved kinsmen, to all of you—"
"Semi-Monsters—will never be slaves!"
As he uttered these last few words, this powerful young Semi-Monster was already hoarse, tears streaming down his face.
His heroic and sorrowful roar echoed throughout the grand hall, lingering for a long, long time!
After a moment of silence, murmurs of discussion, sounds of chest-thumping and foot-stomping, and even sobs began to ripple through the crowd. Finally, all these sounds died down.
All the Demonic Cultivators rose to their feet, erupting into thunderous applause and cheers!
Even Su Mengyao, the disguised Fox Demon, was deeply moved, clapping with tears streaming down her face.
The atmosphere of the alliance meeting soared to its zenith!
"Xiao'er, as your Master, I suddenly feel... these fellows who are neither human nor demon... they don't seem so repulsive anymore..."
Xiao Hongling observed this and couldn't help but use a secret technique to transmit her thoughts to her disciple.
My Master is truly a beautiful and kind woman. So lovable.
Lin Xiao, however, turned his head, his handsome eyes twinkling, and gave her a wink.
There he goes again! This boy's words are becoming increasingly brazen!
Xiao Hongling's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her head away.
Lin Xiao saw this. The tense atmosphere seemed to dissipate for him momentarily, and he felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
Miss Xiao, you've teased me for so many years. Now, the tables have finally turned, haven't they!
