Chapter 14929: Everyone Has Their Own Selfish Motives
Just then, strange fluctuations suddenly appeared in the space in front of Xiang Ying, and a secret message quietly entered her ears.
A moment later, Xiang Ying's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone laced with sarcasm.
"What a cunning and treacherous Demon Soul Clan! This time, they've learned a lot and know how to shift the blame."
Upon hearing this, Yao Tianji immediately looked at Xiang Ying with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean by that, Miss Xiang? Does the Demon Soul Clan have another trick up its sleeve?"
Xiang Ying remained calm and slowly revealed the truth.
"The Demon Soul Clan has already spread rumors all over the outside world, claiming that their emergence this time is not for the purpose of seizing territory or dominating all realms."
"All for the Demon Lord's treasure, which has been lost for many years, and the supreme treasure in Ling Xiao's possession."
Upon hearing this, Yao Tianji's face immediately darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "What a deep scheme! What a vicious mind!"
He instantly understood that the sudden reappearance of the Demon Soul Clan after many years of silence would surely make the ancient forces of the Chaotic Martial Realm uneasy and filled with apprehension.
The reason is that the Demon Soul Clan was rampant and tyrannical back then, almost slaughtering the entire Chaotic Martial World, and was recognized by all worlds as a scourge.
Therefore, according to common sense, when the Demon Soul Clan is born, in order to protect themselves and resist this ferocious beast, many ancient forces will inevitably put aside their grudges and join forces to deal with it.
But now, the Demon Soul Clan deliberately spread rumors, directing their attention to the Demon Lord's treasure and Lingxiao's supreme treasure, and the situation has been completely reversed.
Once the ancient powers learn of this, they will certainly not take action against the Demon Soul Clan anymore, but will choose to stand by and watch the tigers fight.
They watched helplessly as the Demon Soul Clan fought to the death with Lingxiao and even the Silent Extinction Court, resulting in mutual destruction, so they could reap the benefits.
This is the harsh reality: if it doesn't concern you, don't bother. Faced with a sufficiently tempting treasure, no one cares about past grudges or safety; they only care about their own interests.
Yao Tianji's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Other forces are probably gloating right now, hoping that we and the Demon Soul Clan will fight to the death."
Xiang Ying chuckled lightly, his tone carrying a hint of detachment from worldly affairs.
"They were naturally gloating. Before this, the Demon Lord's treasure was a forbidden zone for all realms, and no one dared to make a move on it lightly."
"Whoever steps forward first will become the target of everyone's anger and will surely die."
"But now that the Demon Soul Clan has finally stepped forward to provoke us, they are naturally happy to see this happen and are waiting for an opportunity to try and get a share of the pie."
After saying that, she shook her head, her tone tinged with a hint of regret.
"Time has been too long, so long that many people have completely forgotten the terror and brutality of the Demon Soul Clan back then, forgotten the calamity that destroyed the world back then, and can only see the immediate benefits."
Yao Tianji nodded slowly. He didn't really know the true strength of the Demon Soul Clan back then, since he had never experienced the dark years when the Demon Soul Clan dominated the world.
I have only seen a few words about the Demon Soul Clan in the ancient books of the Holy Rune Academy, and I only know that they have a terrible reputation.
Only those who have lived through countless ages and personally experienced that dark age can truly understand just how terrifying the Demon Soul Clan was back then.
In that era of widespread suffering, if it weren't for the emergence of a prophet who risked his life to stop them and suppress the Demon Soul Clan with unparalleled power, the world would have been in ruins.
The entire Chaotic Martial Realm has probably been slaughtered by the Demon Soul Clan long ago, leaving only the Demon Soul Clan alive.
At this moment, Xiang Ying spoke again, analyzing the situation with a serious tone.
"The Demon Soul Clan was very shrewd this time, knowing how to conceal their strength and not rush to reveal their ambitions, but instead using the treasure to divert attention from all sides."
"This is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, slowly eroding the power of various sectors, gradually strengthening itself, and then launching a surprise attack when the time is right."
Yao Tianji hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiang Ying and made a suggestion.
"Miss Xiang, why don't we take the initiative to contact the other top experts in the Chaotic Martial Realm and join forces to deal with the Demon Soul Clan and break this deadlock?"
Xiang Ying spoke slowly, his expression calm but his tone tinged with helplessness.
"Do you really think they don't know about the emergence of the Demon Soul Clan? They've remained completely silent, watching coldly from the sidelines."
"Either they are unwilling to get involved, fearing they will get burned; or they are like those other forces, hoping that we and the Demon Soul Clan will fight to the death."
"Only in chaos can they profit and seize advantages."
Yao Tianji frowned deeply, his face full of incomprehension and resentment, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Given their status and position, they are all top-tier figures in the Chaotic Martial World, wielding immense power. They shouldn't be so selfish and only care about their own safety, right?"
Xiang Ying's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone blunt and sharp, mercilessly piercing the truth.
"They are also selfish people. Why can't they be selfish? Let me tell you, the higher up a person stands and the more powerful they are, the more selfish and callous they become."
"They only care about their own interests. If this matter did not concern the safety of my Silent Court and Xiao Lianzhu, I would have been happy for you to fight the Demon Soul Clan to the death so I could reap the benefits."
Yao Tianji fell silent. Although Xiang Ying's words were harsh, they hit the nail on the head and were all reasonable, leaving Yao Tianji with no way to refute them.
The world's top powers and strong individuals have always sought profit and avoided harm; few would risk their lives for a cause unrelated to themselves.
Xiang Ying glanced indifferently at Xiao Lianzhu, who was guarding Ling Xiao, and a trace of worry involuntarily flashed across his eyes.
The fact that the Demon Soul Clan dared to attack Xiao Lianzhu despite knowing her identity and strength proves that these people are extremely ambitious and have no scruples whatsoever.
To be honest, the Demon Soul Clan is more terrifying than I imagined.
If Ling Xiao hadn't suddenly erupted and risked his life to protect Xiao Lianzhu, Xiao Lianzhu, one of the eight strongest warriors in the Chaotic Martial World, would have had to admit defeat.
Even if they don't die, they will be trapped in the Soul Abyss Formation and meet a grim end.
After all, no matter how strong Xiao Lianzhu is, she is still just one person.
The Demon Soul Clan is a terrifying clan with a profound foundation.
Moreover, this race once dominated the chaotic martial arts world and was known as the number one force. Their hidden strength is probably not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Xiang Ying suddenly missed the Lord of the Chaotic Martial Realm.
That guy is nominally the number one person in the Chaotic Martial World. Now that the Chaotic Martial World is in danger, where is that guy?
"What an irresponsible guy! Everyone else is busy here, but you're just messing around somewhere!"
……
In a secluded paradise somewhere in the chaotic martial arts world.
The man in the scholar's robe suddenly sneezed: "That's strange, is someone thinking about me? No, it sounds like they're cursing me!"
The man was sitting by the stove, reading a book and adding firewood when a sneeze pulled him from his concentration.
He rubbed his nose and looked outside with some curiosity.
"Could something have happened in the Chaotic Martial World... It seems I can't hide here peacefully anymore. My experience in the world has improved me a lot. I can go and see which bastard is causing trouble!"
