Demon Lord 3

After reaching an agreement, we obtained the grass demon we had previously encountered. We were overjoyed to see the medicinal herb, but we were discovered when we were about to return. The person who discovered us was none other than Bai Leqiao. As expected, experience counts. After being discovered, his son remained calm and told his father that we had wandered in by mistake. If we were imprisoned, the other side would definitely start a war, and they would have no chance of winning. It would be better to sell us out. But when he said that, Bai Hanting didn't mention the herbs we were given. I just smiled. Bai Leqiao originally wanted to keep us locked up and send us to the front lines, but he was enlightened by the child's words. Killing us directly or sending us to the front lines would only ignite the enemy's anger. But if we sold us for a good price and exchanged privately, the matter might be resolved peacefully, and we could get a lot of good stuff in return. Bai Leqiao's attitude towards Bai Hanting wasn't good; I could tell from his eyes. I realized then that it was because this child had betrayed his beliefs. His belief was that this child would carry on the family line, since it was a boy. He himself had cheated on his wife because of this, and this child was born. His original wife had only given birth to a daughter and couldn't have any more children. He couldn't just divorce her directly, because divorce here would be seen as a joke. Under these circumstances, if a leader really divorced, he would never be able to become the highest leader again. To get over that hurdle and continue the relationship, his wife hadn't really intervened. The reason was... Since he couldn't have a son, continuing to manage the family affairs might lead to mutual destruction in the future. It was better to preserve a portion of the family fortune. However, what happened next was unexpected. This only son practiced a set of magical arts that made himself childless for life. This not only angered his father but also made his side very proud. Indeed, this move was ruthless. He took their money wave after wave. Because he was the son and because of his good cultivation, his side loved to spend money. In the end, they brought a bunch of women, but he didn't take any of them, didn't even leave behind a single child. They'd practically wiped out their own lineage, which makes them quite the hero, I suppose. They said mastering this skill would save their mother; I don't know if they'll succeed, but I hope it's true. If so, at least one person achieved their goal. Otherwise, they're all too miserable, too unlucky. Bai Leqiao and Bai Hanting discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to go exchange money. I never imagined the renowned Bai family would be so poor. I thought the Bai family here would be incredibly wealthy, but now they're truly destitute. I looked around at the surroundings; it was indeed much more shabby than before. Walking out the main gate, I realized the place had been in disrepair for years. Having not seen it for so long, I felt a bit disoriented. Before, when I came, we were negotiating. This time, if we don't return them, they know we'll fight, and we'll have no choice but to surrender. Not only will both sides be severely damaged, but we won't have a chance of winning. As time went on, I wondered how much money they would demand, or what kind of manpower and resources they would require. But after listening, I realized it was all a scheme. Bai Hanting first suggested needing some pills. This way, not only would we have cultivators on our side, but they would also need more. If there were fewer cultivators, the fight would be a crushing defeat. Guns and bullets would be useless; a simple ice storm would melt everything, lowering the temperature by tens of degrees. Who could withstand that? We're all normal people. Bai Leqiao nodded in agreement, deciding to give this opportunity to his son. I thought about it and understood how that kid had planned it. He was a cultivator himself. Even if he couldn't recruit many people, those newcomers couldn't consume that many pills. He could consume a lot first, bringing him one step closer to saving his mother. What deep-seated hatred did he have for his father? Besides betraying us and giving us benefits, how did he manage to scheme against his father? And that so-called older sister, her expression was off when she mentioned Bai Jingyi. I think there must be some deep-seated grudge between them. This doesn't seem right. We need to be more vigilant. I've always been protecting Bai Jingyi.
