"Come on, since my life was saved by the demon clan, today I shall return it to the demon clan here!"
Salca smiled calmly, spreading his arms, waiting for the elder's palm strike, waiting for the arrival of death.
Bang!
A muffled sound!
The elder's palm struck fiercely on Salca's chest, causing Salca's body to fly backward like a cannonball.
Poof!
Before he landed, blood was already gushing out from his mouth, his eyes losing focus, and his vitality rapidly fading.
Thump!
Salca's body fell to the ground, smashing onto several stones that had fallen from the wall, shattering them into dust!
"Salca..."
On the other side, Yaoyao only then reacted. Despite the fierce argument between the elder and Salca, she never thought the elder would actually attack Salca, let alone so brutally.
In panic, Yaoyao rushed to Salca, seeing the dwindling life force, with more intake than output of breath, on the brink of death, her eyes filled with tears!
Even though she did not have much camaraderie with Salca, they had experienced life and death together as fellow clansmen, how could there not be even a ripple in her heart?
"Elder, why did you attack Salca? Was what he said wrong? Why must we oppose Uncle? Weren't we always allies?"
Yaoyao turned around, staring angrily at the elder, questioning in a delicate voice.
This inquiry not only represented Yaoyao herself but all the demon clan members present.
Even those insisting on supporting the elder against Bai Xiaofan couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.
They could fight against Bai Xiaofan without questioning any reason, for Bai Xiaofan was human, not the same as them.
But Salca was also a demon, like them, a demon, and was once their titular Demon King. Why did the elder act so viciously?
Was there no emotion left in his heart at all?
Incomprehensible...
At this moment, everyone was looking at the elder in confusion, waiting for him to answer Yaoyao's question, to also respond to the doubts in their hearts!
"Hmph, Salca betrayed our demon clan, siding with our enemy, Bai Xiaofan. I didn't kill him instantly; that's already the greatest mercy. Also, I must tell you, Bai Xiaofan was never a friend of the demon clan. He came to this Blood Demon Purgatory with us intending to use us to help him seize the ancient Demon King's inheritance!"
"Now, I hereby issue an order as the Elder of the demon clan, everyone shall follow me, prepare to wage war against our greatest enemy, Bai Xiaofan, and annihilate Bai Xiaofan and all the Blood Demon clan behind him!"
The elder sneered coldly. After Sika became a master of the True Immortal's initial stage, he no longer hid the devil within his heart, now wanting to use Sika's power, the strength of all demon clan members, to kill Bai Xiaofan, the sinner who ruined his cultivation!
"Yaoyao and I are withdrawing, not joining this battle. If you want to attack us too, go ahead!"
Seeing Yaoyao wanting to say something, Xiaoqing stepped forward, grabbed Yaoyao's arm, and looked directly at the elder, speaking firmly.
"I am withdrawing too..."
"We are withdrawing!"
"Right, demand us to attack our benefactor, we can't do it..."
With Xiaoqing's words, voices of withdrawal echoed within the demon clan, many stepping forward, expressing their desire to withdraw with Xiaoqing!
In the blink of an eye, over two thousand stood behind Yaoyao and Xiaoqing!
"You... you..."
The elder looked at Yaoyao and others in front of him, his fingers trembling with anger, pointing at them yet unable to utter anything significant!
Outrageous!
Simply outrageous!
The elder truly wanted to deal with them like he did Salca, killing them all with a palm strike!
But there were too many people before him, and Yaoyao and Xiaoqing weren't like Salca who joined the demon clan not long ago, their status and position within the demon clan were not something ordinary people could compare to.
If he truly killed Yaoyao and Xiaoqing, it would surely trigger dissatisfaction among many demon clan members, making it harder for him to manage the people!
Therefore, looking at Yaoyao and Xiaoqing, and the demon clan members behind them, the elder sincerely felt troubled!
"Fine, since you choose this way, I hope you won't regret it. Don't cry for merits after we've slain Bai Xiaofan and the Blood Demon clan, nor cry out when surrounded by them when they kill us!"
The elder hesitated for a long time, finally making a decision.
Though dissatisfied, he knew it might be the most correct decision at present!
He couldn't truly deal with Yaoyao and Xiaoqing like he did with Salca, nor the over two thousand clan members supporting them behind!
Upon hearing the elder's words, Xiaoqing took a deep look at him, then led Yaoyao and the demon clan members to retreat to a distance!
"Mr. Bai, what we can do ends here. I hope whoever wins in the end, our people won't suffer retaliation!"
After retreating to the side, Xiaoqing looked up at Bai Xiaofan, proudly standing in mid-air, who hadn't commented on the demon clan's internal conflict from start to finish.
Although the demon clan's Sika gained the ancient Demon King's inheritance, reaching the True Immortal's initial stage, Xiaoqing somehow felt Bai Xiaofan wasn't easily defeated. Even though Bai Xiaofan was seriously injured now, that remained the case!
The feeling was subtle, making Xiaoqing herself unsure why she felt so?
Therefore, when the elder stated he wouldn't target them, she first thought of a guarantee from Bai Xiaofan!
"As you wish!"
Hearing Xiaoqing's words, Bai Xiaofan smiled faintly, looked at her meaningfully, and spoke calmly.
Somewhat surprised by Xiaoqing's decision, Bai Xiaofan hadn't expected the snake demon to contemplate so much.
Moreover, such determination, willing, despite seeming disadvantageous, to make such a decision!
