Chapter 184: You Actually Colluded With the Demon Region!

Mei Qianmeng’s words were so strange that the people from the sects were furious.

“Demoness, don’t slander us here!”

“Tell me, did I say anything wrong?”

Mei Qianmeng’s gaze fell on Gu Xi and stuck to him like a water snake. “Fellow Daoist Gu, I only risked my life to save you because of our friendship.”

Mei Qianmeng’s words were extremely ambiguous, and everyone’s expressions changed when they heard her words.

“What! Gu Xi actually colluded with the people of the Demon Region!”

The various sects could not tolerate Gu Xi in the first place, and now they glared at each other, wishing they could get rid of him as soon as possible.

The behavior of the people of the Demon Region was disgraced by the Righteous Path. Some of the cultivators of the Demon Region practiced demon techniques, and there were even some who, in order to increase their own strength, would shed rivers of blood and slaughter cultivators and mortals at will.

It could be said that the Righteous Path cultivators wanted nothing more than to get rid of them as soon as possible. However, for various reasons, they had no choice but to be wary. After all, peace had been achieved with great difficulty. If war broke out, it would cause quite a bit of damage.

Although the two sides had not erupted into a major war, there had been friction all along. Furthermore, the Demon Region was located in a remote location. Attacking them would require a great price.

“I knew it. How could Gu Xi obtain the Primal Chaos Secret Realm alone? Perhaps the Demon Region is helping him.”

“Could he be the spy that the Demon Region planted in our Righteous Path?”

There were even some who started to make conspiracy theories, thinking that Gu Xi had long colluded with Mei Qianmeng. The way they looked at him was filled with disgust and vigilance.

Gu Xi looked at Mei Qianmeng’s flower-like smile and said expressionlessly, “What kind of relationship can there be between us?”

“Of course, it’s the relationship that we broke into the array together in the Secret Realm.”

What kind of relationship could there be between him and Mei Qianmeng? It was all a show of courtesy. This woman had even schemed ruthlessly at the last moment. If it were not for his good luck and the System in his hands, he would have died a long time ago.

However, no matter what he said now, those Orthodox cultivators would not believe him.

Gu Xi smiled faintly. He had to admit that this move was really good.

“You’ve pushed me against all the cultivators. This time, you’re really going to become the enemy of everyone in the world.”

Mei Qianmeng’s eyes moved like a peach blossom blooming in March. It was impossible to tell how scheming she was.

“Young Master Gu, don’t say that, please. The gate of the demon area will always be open to you. What I said earlier will be effective forever. I wonder what Young Master Gu has to say about it.”

After saying that, Mei Qianmeng looked at the other Sect Masters’ ashen faces and spoke as if she was joking.

“Young Master, you have to think carefully. Otherwise, this group of people will really eat you alive.”

The ending tone was tactful, causing one to feel a tingling sensation. It was as if they were about to sink into the depths of hell together. The threat behind the words was also obvious.

Looking at the incomparably charming Mei Qianmeng in front of him, Gu Xi was clearly aware of her sinister intentions. She was actually a poisonous poppy.

Choosing to jump out at such a sensitive time, undoubtedly, she was trying to force him. Now that he had become enemies with the Righteous Path, there was practically no way out. If the Demon Region interfered, the chances of him surviving were really slim.

There was only one choice in front of Gu Xi, and that was to join the Demon Region.

Gu Xi looked at Mei Qianmeng without changing his expression. A dark light flashed in his eyes, “Are you so sure that I only have one choice?”

Mei Qianmeng had dug a hole for him time and time again, putting him in danger. If she did not do anything, it would be a waste of her character.

Mei Qianmeng leaned close to him and exhaled, “You only have this choice, unless… you want to die.”

She smiled innocently, but her words were extremely vicious. She was sure that Gu Xi had nowhere to go.

The intimate look between the two in everyone’s eyes confirmed that Gu Xi was having an affair with the Demon Region.

“Fellow Daoist Gu, you must not be fooled by the Demoness!” Xie Mingyu shouted sternly, “Our Tiangang Sword Sect can protect you to the death to break out of the encirclement, but we will never protect a person who has colluded with the Demon Region. The people of the Demon Region have committed many evil deeds, and the Demon Path cultivators deserve to be punished!”

“You must not take the wrong path!”

As the Sect Master of the Tiangang Sword Sect, Xie Mingyu knew that the cause of this matter was only because everyone wanted to obtain the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. Gu Xi did not do anything wrong at all.

What was wrong was the greed and desire of the people, and that the Primal Chaos Secret Realm acknowledged Gu Xi as its master.

Even if he took a huge risk and went against the people of the other sects for the sake of Gu Xi, it would not damage his reputation.

However, if Gu Xi colluded with the Demon Region, the nature would be different.

If the Tiangang Sword Sect’s thousands of years of reputation was related to the Demon Region, protecting those who joined the Demon Region, their reputation would be destroyed in an instant.

Mei Qianmeng’s expression gradually turned cold. She glanced at Xie Mingyu and said unceremoniously, “I’m warning you not to cause any trouble. Even if our Demon Region is bad, we do things openly. We aren’t like hypocrites like you.”

Gu Xi’s gaze landed on Xie Mingze. The moment their eyes met, they separated immediately.

Seeing that Xie Mingyu wanted to say something but was stopped by Xie Mingze. He shook his head gently and said, “Different paths lead to different strategies. I was wrong earlier.”

The turn of events caused everyone to be confused.

Xie Mingze was the one who switched sides at the beginning. He was also the one who said that he would protect Gu Xi with his life and fight his way out of the encirclement. Initially, everyone thought that he was the hardest to talk to. They did not expect him to change his mind now.

On the other hand, Xie Mingyu was a little stunned. It was as if he did not expect Xie Mingze to say such a thing. It was as if he knew what Xie Mingze wanted to ask.

Xie Mingze said in a low voice, “I’ll explain later.”

Then, he did not want to say anything more and quietly retreated to the side.
