Journey to the End of the Night-Chapter 1273 - 828: My Name

The mysterious man exuding evil aura was surrounded by black demonic mist, and the extremely vile and evil aura emanating from his body was unmistakably strong.

Indeed, the pig demon was being manipulated by someone behind the scenes.

The pig demon stopped its actions due to this person’s appearance, with apparent wariness on its face.

The man’s face turned towards Baili An and the girl, letting out a soft "hmm".

Seemingly surprised by their identities, he lightly nodded:

"So it’s a disciple of the Tianxi Sword Sect and a disciple of Cangwu Palace. My apologies for not welcoming you sooner. I am Qi Ren, the abandoned of the world’s discarded ones."

Hearing this person announce his name, Baili An and the girl were a bit surprised, but even more surprising was the identity of the other party.

Baili An did not expect that the bun girl was actually a disciple of Cangwu Palace.

However, thinking carefully, it made sense; only the three major sects could cultivate such talented people.

The girl also did not expect this seemingly silly boy to be from the Tianxi Sword Sect, no wonder he initially suggested seeking reinforcements from Bai Tuo Mountain, he was hiding so deeply.

The girl coldly looked at the black-robed man: "Demon sect fiend, how dare you create havoc in the Central Plains!"

The man laughed, a hint of mocking teasing in his tone: "Little girl, you’re so badly injured yet still thinking of exterminating demons, truly worthy of being from a renowned Immortal family."

The pig demon snorted twice, couldn’t restrain its killing intent towards Baili An any longer, and took two steps wanting to grab Baili An.

In front of the pig demon, a cold light flashed, and the pig demon quickly withdrew its hand, avoiding the cold light, and looked at the black-robed man with a face full of fear and resentment in its murky yellow eyes.

Only then did Baili An see clearly that the wide black sleeve of the black-robed man concealed an unsheathed small sword, which looked quite exquisite and luxurious.

However, the Demon Sect man named Qi Ren was not holding the small sword with his bare hands, but instead wore a glove woven from silver threads on his right hand.

He grasped the silver small sword through the silver glove, yet Baili An saw that the silver small sword seemed to have a strange and magical power, eroding and wearing away the glove.

The small sword had only been held for a short while, yet it already caused the silver glove to be stained with a layer of deep rust color.

The Demon Sect man dared not continue holding the small sword and sheathed it swiftly.

He said coldly: "Did I tell you to act?"

The pig demon roared at the Demon Sect man, expressing its dissatisfaction.

The Demon Sect man sneered: "These two... you are not qualified to touch! Don’t forget who saved your life."

Baili An coughed up a mouthful of blood, his internal injuries slightly out of control, he said hoarsely: "Was it you who ordered the pig demon to capture the women of Beiliao Town?"

"What if it was?"

Baili An’s gaze swept over the thirteen bodies on the ground, speaking coldly: "What exactly is your purpose?!"

The Demon Sect man sneered: "I am a member of the Demon Sect, capturing people is naturally to use blood to forge and nourish the sword."

Baili An looked at the strange small sword in his hand, silent.

The matters are full of peculiarity, and moreover, this person’s entire being was filled with demonic qi, his power unfathomable.

Now both he and the bun girl were severely injured, the opportunity to escape alive seemed slim.

The Demon Sect man lowered his gaze at them, smiled sinisterly, his wide sleeve swirling, a black demonic aura swept out like a raging dragon.

The girl’s heart sank, thinking he finally could not suppress the urge to attack them, her grip on the sword tightened, ready to fight to the death.

Who would have thought that the next moment, her arm was seized, it was Baili An holding her back, seemingly stopping her action.

She naturally trusted Baili An, so she relaxed her arm following his intention.

Then, feeling a tightness around her waist, his other arm wrapped around her waist and held her tightly, her back pressed against his chest without any gap, he held her firm and secure.

The girl’s face instantly turned pale, thinking he was preparing to use his body to block the "lethal blow" for her, she felt anxious inside.

However, what was a "lethal blow" in her mind landed on them lightly, without any harm, only causing a dizzying spin for the two.

After the scene turned upside down, there was no sign of the pig demon and Demon Sect man, instead, they found themselves alone in another cave.

The only exit of this cave was locked by an iron door forged of refined steel, making it hard to escape for the time being.

Only then did the girl belatedly realize that they were neither dead nor injured with Baili An.

The two lay on the ground, Baili An still holding her tightly, the girl bit her lip, blushed, and whispered softly: "Aren’t...aren’t you letting me go."

The arm around her waist loosened its grip, Baili An quickly got up from the ground, awkwardly looking at her said: "Earlier, I didn’t mean to take advantage of you."

The girl sat up straight, a hint of a smile in her eyes: "Then what did you mean?"

Baili An quickly said: "Earlier, I saw you raising your sword, must have misunderstood that the Demon Sect man wanted to kill us, but I knew, since he prevented the pig demon from killing us, naturally he wouldn’t want our lives.

I guessed he wanted to move and imprison us separately, I was worried we would be separated, so I hastily held onto you."

The girl lightly coughed, tilting her head asked: "Why worry we would be separated?"

Baili An looked down at her leg’s hideous wound, unable to hide the worry in his eyes, he said: "Your leg is injured, if we’re separated, I’m worried I won’t be able to tend to it."
