Chapter 415 - The True Bai Mu (1/2)

Qiu Ling looked from one guy to the other and finally froze. Wait! Why did this one guy look like that demon he had seen in the Hei Dian Sect?!

Qiu Ling frowned and squatted down, intently peering into the guy's face. He had seen that demon only for a moment but the similarity was uncanny. They could have been brothers. Well, considering the relationships between demons it wasn't that strange. Who wasn't related among them? That was the problem if everyone had something going on with everyone else.

Qiu Ling turned back to look at Xin Lan and pointed at the guy before him. ”That's Bai Mu.”

”Are you sure?” Xin Lan came over as well and examined the man in the cell. He could feel a bit of immortal energy from him but it was faint. Well, whatever he had possessed of it might have been eroded after being imprisoned here for a few years. He hadn't been a true demon, after all.

Qiu Ling nodded. ”Mn. He looks nearly identical to that demon I saw at the Hei Dian Sect.”

Xin Lan frowned. ”That's what that Hong Bao said. But this doesn't mean that he's the person we're looking for. The Fate's Scribe didn't speak of any other relatives than his mother and aunt.”

”Well, you never asked about them. And most other relatives probably wouldn't have that kind of composition of their blood anyway. They'd probably be just demons or just humans or just gods, so why would he have told you about them?”

Xin Lan nodded. That was also true. But what if they got the wrong person?

”If you think I've got it wrong, we could free all of them.”

”You want to help the demons?” Xin Lan's brows lifted. He really couldn't imagine Qiu Ling doing anything that might benefit Jin Ling. Their hate was mutual, after all.

Qiu Ling frowned. ”What are you talking about? I'm not the one who lived with a demon.”

Xin Lan didn't respond to that and just turned to the man in the cell. ”Do you know somebody by the name of Huan Yin?”

The man didn't answer but somebody else connected the dots. ”Ah!” The demon on the left cried out. ”Now I remember! Huan Yin, that's actually my mother's name!”

Xin Lan didn't even look over. He lashed out and only a gurgling scream could be heard before the demon slumped to the ground in a pool of blood.

”I'm still waiting for your answer.”

The man looked back at him but didn't open his mouth. Xin Lan frowned but it wasn't like he could attack him. Who knew if he was still able to withstand even a weak attack?

Qiu Ling continued to frown. ”Why aren't you answering? Heh!” Qiu Ling poked the bars. ”You do realize we could get you out of here? Don't you want that? What about your fiancee?”
