Ye Zhaozhao's expression was somewhat distorted.
Li Shuang suppressed a smile and asked calmly, "Oh? Is Ye Zhaozhao truly that useless? She dedicated herself to you for ten years; I thought you'd be a little sad about her death."
Sheng Yuan frowned. He did feel a pang of sadness about Ye Zhaozhao's death, but how could he admit that?
Was Senior Sister Li looking for his assurance?
Sheng Yuan said without hesitation, "Ye Zhaozhao was a member of the demonic path! Since joining Spirit Void Peak, her every action was meant to sow discord among us. For someone like her, saying she deserved to die is letting her off easy."
"Is that so?" Li Shuang suddenly said, "Then do you know that within the Sword Sect, the Dragon's Roar Sword suddenly disappeared? The sect elders suspect that Ye Zhaozhao might still be alive. Perhaps she used some method of 'borrowing a corpse to revive the soul' and resurrected through someone else. If you were to meet her again, what would you do, Junior Brother Sheng?"
Sheng Yuan and Shen Yue were both startled.
They had been on missions recently and hadn't heard about the Dragon's Roar Sword's disappearance.
Long Yan had already signed a master-servant contract with Ye Zhaozhao. Logically, if Ye Zhaozhao died, Long Yan should weaken and perish soon after.
But not only did he not die, he disappeared along with the Dragon's Roar Sword?
They quickly thought of a possibility.
Ye Zhaozhao...
Could she have truly borrowed a corpse to revive her soul?
Their expressions turned somewhat grim for a moment.
Ye Zhaozhao's expression became even more twisted. Others might not have noticed, but Ye Zhaozhao had a hunch that Li Shuang was suspicious of her!
This woman, how could she be so perceptive?
Ye Zhaozhao suppressed the panic in her heart and angrily said in her mind, "I already told you, that Long Yan is just a useless sword spirit! I signed a master-servant contract with him; with just a thought, I can make him vanish into thin air! Once Long Yan dies, my 'borrowing a corpse to revive the soul' would be truly seamless. But you insisted that Long Yan was very useful and even wasted energy to bring him out! Now look, you've left such a huge loophole!"
And the system said it brought out the Dragon's Roar Sword and Long Yan, and she could sense Long Yan's presence, but the Dragon's Roar Sword wasn't with her at all!
The system said it sent Long Yan to a place where he could undergo a transformation.
For such a useless sword spirit, to what extent could he transform?
Ye Zhaozhao didn't believe it one bit.
The system was a bit depressed. Ever since it realized it couldn't detach from her, Ye Zhaozhao's attitude had indeed become increasingly arrogant.
Yet, it could only endure it for now.
The system could only explain, "I only discovered that the Dragon's Roar Sword had its own secrets when I released all my demonic energy at the end. Don't worry, when he reappears, he will definitely provide you with immense help!"
"It better be," Ye Zhaozhao said, still feeling a bit down. "Now this Li Shuang is already suspicious of me. What should I do?"
The system sneered, "It's good that she's suspicious."
Ye Zhaozhao was stunned.
Good that she's suspicious?
What did that mean?
The system said, "I told you, your 'borrowing a corpse to revive the soul' is flawless. Ordinary methods of detecting soul compatibility won't work on you. If Li Shuang is suspicious, she will try every means to verify it, but no matter what she does, there will only be one result: you are not Ye Zhaozhao at all. The more she suspects, the more innocent you will appear, and the more unreasonable she will seem. Aren't you best at manipulating such situations?"
As the system spoke, Ye Zhaozhao's eyes flickered.
According to the system, Li Shuang's suspicion had actually turned into a good thing.
Ye Zhaozhao suddenly felt much calmer.
Over there.
Sheng Yuan listened to Li Shuang's question and said resolutely, "Ye Zhaozhao is a demon. If she dares to appear again, my third junior brother and I will grind her bones to dust, ensuring she can never reincarnate!"
Being associated with demons was a huge taboo!
Sheng Yuan's words were incredibly firm.
Ye Zhaozhao: "..."
To be honest!
If she had to choose, and if this possession hadn't happened, she would probably want to kill the people of Spirit Void Peak more than Li Shuang.
But in this cultivation world, she had to become stronger to survive.
Li Shuang was her stepping stone to becoming stronger!
And these two from Spirit Void Peak were very foolish, making them easy for her to use.
Ye Zhaozhao could only suppress her raging anger and force a smile, "Since Ye Zhaozhao is a demon, then no matter what is done to her, it's not too much. It's just, I wonder why Fellow Daoist Li suddenly wants to compare me to this demon? Could it be that Fellow Daoist suspects I have something to do with that Ye Zhaozhao?"
As she spoke, Ye Zhaozhao's expression became aggrieved.
Li Shuang's gaze was calm. "Fellow Daoist Fang is overthinking. I just feel that you two bear some resemblance. If that Ye Zhaozhao were to be reborn, she would probably look just like you."
Ye Zhaozhao immediately showed an expression of immense indignation and sorrow. "Good and evil have always been at odds. Fellow Daoist Li comparing me to a demon is a great insult to me! What did I do to offend Fellow Daoist, that you would maliciously speculate about me like this?"
Li Shuang looked at Ye Zhaozhao's agitated appearance and raised an eyebrow slightly.
She brought up Ye Zhaozhao precisely to stir up the emotions of the person in front of her.
Given Ye Zhaozhao's personality, she would surely make a move.
Once she made a move, it wouldn't be hard to catch her slip-up!
Li Shuang said calmly, "Oh? It seems Fellow Daoist Fang also deeply detests the demonic path. Then what is Fellow Daoist Fang's opinion of a demonic path member like Ye Zhaozhao, who infiltrated the Sword Sect and secretly stirred up trouble?"
Ye Zhaozhao's expression stiffened.
Opinion?
Li Shuang was making her curse herself?
She really was doing it on purpose!!
Ye Zhaozhao was furious in her heart. Over there, Luo Mingyue and the others were already looking at her critically.
Ye Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and said, "That Ye Zhaozhao, naturally, committed countless evil deeds, was utterly wicked, angered both gods and men, and deserved to die..."
As Ye Zhaozhao cursed herself, she was seething with resentment!
Just wait!
This humiliation was only temporary. In the future, she would settle scores with every single one of these people in front of her.
"Fellow Daoist Fang truly abhors the demonic path," Li Shuang smiled. "Then I misspoke earlier. Fellow Daoist is a straightforward person, so I imagine you won't hold it against me."
Ye Zhaozhao: "..."
She felt her head buzzing.
Were the roles somewhat reversed?
Before, at Spirit Void Peak, she would always look eagerly at Li Shuang: "Senior Sister is a straightforward person, I imagine she won't hold it against me."
"This item is useless to Senior Sister anyway, why not give it to me? I imagine Senior Sister won't hold it against me."
"Did I do something wrong? Senior Sister is a magnanimous person, I imagine she won't hold it against me."
Now.
All the previous boomerangs had come back to hit her!
Ye Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and said, "I... naturally won't hold it against you."
