After the sword bone was taken away, the reborn elder sister went crazy killing

"Hey!"

Pei Zhiyi kicked Mo Xun and said, "Did the Phantom City Lord give you any instructions before you came? Or, did you ask any seniors what kind of tests would be here?"

Mo Xun hummed and hawed, indicating to Pei Zhiyi that he couldn't answer her question right now.

Pei Zhiyi rolled his eyes and waved his hand, and Mo Xun was able to continue speaking normally again.

"My aunt didn't tell me anything, just told me to remember to use these life-saving items and get out alive. As for whether to ask the seniors or not..." Mo Xun said it with a guilty conscience. He touched his nose, his eyes wandering. "How can there be any seniors to ask? Those seniors who came in before never got out alive."

"what?"

Pei Zhiyi was stunned, and his words were almost incoherent. "Are you saying that none of the gifted people from your demon clan who came here before have ever been able to leave here alive?"

"correct."

"Then why do you still have this tradition? Why do you keep sending you in here again and again? Isn't this courting death?"

"You think we're willing to come in."

Mo Xun pursed his lips, feeling sad when he thought about what he was going to say. He simply sat down, crushing the flowers and plants behind him. He didn't even notice a flash of light among the flowers.

"We claim to be the talented and powerful members of the younger generation of the demon race, but in reality, we are merely the second-best."

"Second strongest? Is there such a thing as that?"

Pei Zhiyi didn't sit down, but squatted down and listened to Mo Xunping's story. After all, the situation here was unclear. These flowers and plants were full of spiritual energy and might even have human nature. It was better not to add unnecessary trouble to oneself at this time.

"To put it simply, every family in our demon clan has at least two children. One of them is the one with the strongest talent, and the other... like me, is just a backup. Whenever the demon clan needs to be sent to this kind of training space, we are the ones who are sent as backups."

"Why do you have to send people here?" Pei Zhiyi discovered the blind spot. "Since this is an excellent training ground, why don't you let the person with the strongest talent come? Letting you come here... Don't blame me for speaking harshly, isn't this clearly sending you to your death?"

"It's really a suicide mission."

Mo Xun spread his hands and casually pulled a flower stem into his mouth. "Actually, I'm not sure why we have to come here. I just heard it by chance once. They said that because this training space is too powerful, so powerful that one day the demons may no longer be able to control it, they need to sacrifice some of the demons' powerful bloodlines to maintain stability here."

“It’s like this every year, without interruption.”

"But how could they possibly let a true young demon clan warrior do something so suicidal? So, wouldn't it be natural for this kind of thing to fall on substitutes like us?"

In the past, Mo Xun would make a big fuss about such things, and would want to rush over to ask them to give him an account and explanation, but after being taught a lesson, he became obedient. After all, fate was already determined and could not be changed.

"Furthermore, if we manage to escape alive, all the treasures we've obtained and the little bit of spiritual power we've gained will be given to the person with the greatest talent and strength, free of charge. If we can't escape alive, it's like we're contributing to the demon race, using our bloodline to stabilize this space. Anyway, we're all going to be sacrificed anyway. We can't resist, so we can only accept it."

"So you are really willing to succumb to this fate?"

Pei Zhiyi suddenly felt that although Mo Xun looked silly, he was actually the most insightful one.

"So what if we're unwilling? Although we've retained our relatively strong talents, they've also suppressed some of our strength to prevent us from resisting. So, it's not that we don't want to resist, it's because we've resisted before and it didn't work."

"I thought only humans were so selfish, but I never imagined that the demons, who have always been known for their courage to love, hate, act, and take responsibility, would also resort to this trick."

"Then there's a lot you don't know."

Mo Xun leaned back, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and looked up at the sky.

"Do you know why I had to provoke you outside at the beginning?"

"I know."

Mo Xun hummed doubtfully, "How did you know this?"

Pei Zhiyi smiled, stood up and said, "I didn't know it at first, but after listening to you talk for so long, I suddenly understood."

"How did it happen?"

"Of course... Actually, there's no special reason. It's simply that although you don't trust your aunt with all your heart, you never question her ability to select people. Since she was able to arrange for a human like me to enter this space, it proves that I have the ability to protect myself. And it's because you saw through this that you wanted to form an alliance with me."

The more Mo Xun listened, the more shocked he became. He had never expected Pei Zhiyi to be able to make such a connection just by listening to what he had said. This human being before him… was not only exceptionally powerful, but also incredibly intelligent.

"But you know clearly that the location you land in the training space is uncertain. So, you can only take a gamble, a gamble on fate and the cycle of cause and effect. You provoked me, I struck you, and the aura of my weapon remains on you, so it will naturally be sensed the moment you enter this place. Naturally, you and I will land in the same place. If you want to survive, you will be eager to form an alliance with me."

Mo Xun quickly got up and stared at Pei Zhiyi. For a moment, he was so fascinated that he forgot what he wanted to express by getting up.

"So, what I said is correct?"

"Exactly."

Pei Zhiyi smiled and curled his lips, a hint of pride and complacency flashed across his eyes for a moment, "But have you ever thought that these little tricks of yours have long been seen by the Phantom City Lord.

"How is that possible?" Mo Xun denied Pei Zhiyi's guess without even thinking, "If she really cared about me, she wouldn't have sent me here despite my begging."

"But think about it. She allowed you to provoke me, allowed my weapon to hurt you, and only came out to mediate after the scent of my weapon stained your body. Have you ever doubted this? To put it bluntly, she just knew you wanted to live, so she didn't care."
