Facing ng Zhang's fierce and murderous appearance, with a hint of killing intent, Xu ngying remained unmoved, as if she hadn't felt the slightest pressure at all.
"Sect Master ng, we were getting along so well before. Why have you turned against so quickly?"
"Sect Master ng, you first helped escape from the pursuit of evil people, and then saved my life from demons. We just joined forces to fight the enemy. Your repeated assistance shows that you are a person of high moral character and warm-heartedness. I can never forget your great kindness, Sect Master ng."
Xu ngying's seemingly sincere words of gratitude were like thorns and sarcasm in ng Zhang's ears.
Apart from the first ti when he helped her and received so benefits from Xu ngying, the next two tis he intervened were due to her troubles and were forced actions.
Xu ngying's behavior of taking advantage and acting coy made even the extrely shrewd and guarded Extre Sword Spirit General feel displeased, not to ntion ng Zhang.
However, ng Zhang, who was truly furious, suddenly cald down, no longer appearing angry.
If Xu ngying could disregard his threats, then she must have so reliance.
ng Zhang wanted to see what kind of reliance she had and what cards she could play to suppress him and the Extre Sword Spirit General.
ng Zhang remained silent, just gazing calmly at Xu ngying.
Under ng Zhang's intense scrutiny, Xu ngying didn't seem embarrassed or uneasy. On the contrary, she talked incessantly.
After talking for a long ti and seeing no response from ng Zhang, Xu ngying finally restrained herself.
She had been speaking for a while, but she wasn't sure if she was genuinely praising ng Zhang or mocking him. Either way, ng Zhang didn't pay attention to a word of it.
Seeing Xu ngying stop speaking, ng Zhang's voice turned sinister as he said, "Go on, continue speaking. I want to see how much nonsense you have to say. I am very patient, and I can listen to you all day."
"To soone on the brink of death, I am always generous," Xu ngying said with a smile in response to ng Zhang's veiled death threat.
"Sect Master ng, if I die, no one will be able to provide you with Nine Heavens Refined Essence anymore."
"Although Nine Heavens Refined Essence is precious, I can still spend a little more ti collecting it from above the Nine Heavens. But if this resentnt remains unresolved in my heart, it might beco my inner demon in the future."
ng Zhang's expression remained unchanged as he spoke casually.
Xu ngying knew that there was no way to resolve today's situation.
From the mont she landed on the ground, ng Zhang had ignored her. The Sword Cultivator who accompanied him all the way had boldly released his Divine Sense, firmly locking onto her.
Although she knew that the cultivation level of this Sword Cultivator was inferior to hers, when facing him, Xu ngying felt as if she were facing a hidden sword in its sheath. The power of the sword seed to be concealed, as if it could unsheathe at any mont and strike directly at her vulnerabilities.
This concealed sharpness made Xu ngying uncomfortable.
Her non-stop chatter earlier was not only a test of ng Zhang but also an attempt to relieve the pressure.
Seeing ng Zhang's seriousness, Xu ngying knew that he was truly angry and wouldn't let her off so easily.
Xu ngying's smile remained on her face as she said lightly, "Sect Master ng, you're angry because you feel that you haven't received enough benefits and helped for no reason."
"I am not an ungrateful person. I will surely show my heartfelt gratitude for Sect Master ng's great kindness."
ng Zhang, although angry, did not lose his rationality. His main purpose of exploding in anger was to extract enough benefits from Xu ngying.
As long as there are sufficient benefits and interests, any bit of annoyance will be insignificant, and his thoughts will eventually beco clear.
To truly kill Xu ngying in a fit of rage would be a huge mistake. As a Cultivator, especially as a Sect Master, he cannot be easily swayed by his emotions. His actions must always be based on his own and his sect's interests.
Although ng Zhang despised the prevailing culture in the Cultivation World, where only profit mattered and self-interest was prioritized, he would not go against it.
Xu ngying, as the Saintess of the Yellow Lotus Sect, holds a sensitive status and possesses deep cultivation. She undoubtedly has hidden cards up her sleeve.
Not to ntion whether ng Zhang could kill her or not, even if he did, he would instantly beco a public enemy of the Yellow Lotus Sect, violating the rules of the Jiuqu League.
If True Monarch Mountain Peak were to take action in response, not even Jin Li True Monarch might fully support him.
Despite the nurous Yellow Lotus Sect cultivators who were tracking Xu ngying earlier, looking malicious, if ng Zhang were to truly harm her, they might be the first ones to demand justice and not let ng Zhang off easily.
Xu ngying probably saw through this, which gave her the confidence to mock ng Zhang without fear.
Of course, even though ng Zhang couldn't kill her, he had ways to deal with her.
The simplest thod would be to join forces with the Extre Sword Spirit General to capture her and hand her over to Daoist Master Mountain Garden. At that ti, Xu ngying could be sold at a good price, and Taiyi Sect might even turn enemies into friends with the Yellow Lotus Sect.
Even if they couldn't capture Xu ngying, as long as they could keep her entangled and delay her until Daoist Master Mountain Garden's people arrived, it would have a similar effect.
Being in a high position in the Yellow Lotus Sect, Xu ngying was accustod to the power struggles and intrigues within the sect. She was extrely clever and could see the situation more clearly than anyone else. Without ng Zhang even speaking, she could anticipate that he had plenty of ans to deal with her.
Xu ngying had compelling reasons for taking this risky journey away from the Yellow Lotus Sect's Main Altar and secretly infiltrating the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle. She was not only burdened with great responsibilities but also staking her own future, making any failure unacceptable.
With ng Zhang's abilities, he had many ways to jeopardize her plans.
However, on the other hand, if ng Zhang were to stand fully on her side, she would gain significant assistance. Especially in this expedition to the territory of the demons, where she had experienced perilous encounters being chased by demons, Xu ngying increasingly felt that achieving her objectives solely by her own strength would be difficult.
After the previous probing and her prior understanding, Xu ngying felt she had gained so understanding of ng Zhang's character.
It might be challenging to bribe ng Zhang directly, but bribing Taiyi Sect's Sect Master was not an impossible task.
As a prominent figure in the Yellow Lotus Sect, Xu ngying had access to many resources. Even in the current difficult situation within the sect, with so effort, she could still offer benefits that would sway Taiyi Sect's Sect Master, ng Zhang.
