I Just Want To Follow The Plot!

Arc 1.14

"P-please don't kill me, s-sir!", the figure said in a high pitched voice. When they looked up, Zero and Nan XiSheng realized that it was actually a woman.

"Answer my questions!"

"A-ah! My name is Eleven and I came here because the young master ordered me to kill all living beings that are inhabited here! Oh, a-and I was sent here by a portal he opened! I've told you everything I know so p-please don't hurt me.." she said, without the slightest hint of hesitation as she threw her young master under the bus.*

*Meaning that she didn't hesitate to betray her master.

"Young master? Who are they?"

"Young master is.."

Before Eleven could finish her sentence her eyes turned red and looked like she was possessed as she said, "All is for the Goddess." Then, her body exploded into pieces and her blood splattered everywhere. Nan XiSheng quickly pulled Zero into his arms in order to protect him from being dirtied by the flying liquid.

"Are you okay?", XiSheng asked.

"Mmm", Zero replied.

He then noticed that they were in a very.. intimate position as he coughed awkwardly and crept out of the latter's arms. Zero still remembered when Nan XiSheng was a little kid who had barely managed to reach his chin, yet after a few years, the other party had already managed to grow at least half a foot taller than him! Zero was already at 175cm, but when compared to the 190cm Nan XiSheng, he could only sigh in jealousy.

"Anyways, do you have any clues on that last sentence Eleven said? I believe it was 'All for the Goddess', or something like that?", Zero asked Nan XiSheng.

"What shixiong said is right. From the looks of her and the appearances of these strange phenomenons, it seems like they are from a demonic cult of some sort that tends to stay off of the righteous path in cultivation."

"That is certainly the case, but what I found interesting is how quickly that girl named Eleven betrayed her so-called master. Wouldn't people like her normally be trained as death soldiers who would give up their lives for the ones they serve? Also, seeing that this is a demonic sect of some sort, they would tend to act even more fanatic and devote their very souls to their organization. Why didn't Eleven have the absolute loyalty of a follower? Also, just as she was about to speak about her master, it was like an automatic switch flicked on and her body functions shut down as she exploded."

"Perhaps this 'master' of hers planted some of his demonic qi into her body to monitor her actions?"

"I've thought of that as well, but it doesn't make sense to have her master plant a single strand into every one of their members, right? That would take forever, plus, it's so much less effective than just training soldiers that would give up their lives for you. Unless.."

"The master purposely wanted to expose such information, but when it got to a critical point, he decided to shut her up for good."

"Not only that, but her master also seems to be a very capable person if he is able to open a portal directly linking to this world. We've all witnessed how powerful Lady Liu is, so someone that can come in here undetected is definitely a force to be reckoned with."

The two kept on discussing the issue as they bolted towards Lady Liu's residence at full speed.

They had already mentally prepared themselves for the horrible sight that they were expecting to see, however, never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that her mansion was still in one piece. It was basically the only undamaged part of the entire secret realm, but after taking Lady Liu's strength into consideration, this was actually not that surprising. In the first place, anyone who can become the ruler of the core of an entire cultivation world definitely wouldn't turn out to be some weakling.
