“What’s wrong? Do I need to invite you in person?” The White Robe Demon Master’s voice was gentle, but it wouldn’t accept no as an answer. “Five Sages of the Profound Alliance?” The world fell silent for several breaths. Then, five figures appeared amidst a spatial ripple. Each figure was occupying a different corner. They had the White Robe Demon Master surrounded and firmly within their targets. They were none other than the five Sages who just came to stop the White Robe Demon Master from rescuing the Rakshasa King: Danxia Zi, Sea Dividing Sword Sage, Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King, Sky Scorching Great Emperor and Empress Yue Su. Of course, they weren’t expecting to see the White Robe Demon Master stopping the thirteen princes of Rakshasa from rescuing their king and even killing them in one gesture. It was such a confusing turn of events that they weren’t sure what they were going to do next. Left with no choice, they could only conceal themselves in hopes of finding out what the White Robe Demon Master was plotting. Unfortunately, their concealment barely lasted a moment before the White Robe Demon Master had sussed them out. It was so embarrassing they felt like clowns. There was nothing they could do about it though. They could only bear their shame and step out. After all, they would look even more like clowns if they continued to hide. “Greetings, White Robe Demon Master.” Empress Yue Su saluted White Robe Demon Master respectfully after showing herself. The others were doing the same thing. Although they loathed White Robe Demon Master to the bone, they also feared him as much. Their objective was only to stop the Stranger from rescuing the Rakshasa King, not kill him. Therefore, they would rather not fight if at all possible. One more thing. White Robe Demon Master’s earlier actions had puzzled them greatly. Frankly, they thought he was a tad insane. The method of dealing with powerful madmen was to avoid provoking them. That was why they were greeting him so amiably. “Since when are you humans so polite?” The White Robe Demon Master asked smilingly. Danxia Zi responded, “Humans are the state of etiquette. Naturally, we are polite and lawful.” “Hahaha... well said.” White Robe Demon Master smiled. “You came to stop me from helping the Rakshasa King and attacking the Burning Nether Holy Lord, haven’t you?” It wasn’t a question. It was a statement. Content originally comes from novelꞁire.net The five Sages immediately grew nervous. “Calm down, you all.” White Robe Demon Master waved his hand as if to placate them. “If I wanted to help the Rakshasa King, I would have done so already. And I definitely wouldn’t have killed Nether Prayer, Nightmare Sun, Jewel Tree and the other princes.” “We really share the same objective, you know?” “What do you mean?” The five Sages looked puzzled. White Robe Demon Master answered in an indifferent voice, “You wish to keep others from interfering with the Rakshasa King and the Burning Nether Holy Lord’s battle. It so happens that I am of the same opinion.” “... But why?” The five Sages exchanged puzzled glances with each other. Looking at the current situation, there was everything for humanity and nothing for the Rakshasa Kingdom to gain to maintain the current state of things. The White Robe Demon Master was the Rakshasa King’s right hand man, so why the hell was he staying his hand and allowing this situation to continue just like them? What was he plotting? Could he be trying to trick them? Once again, White Robe Demon Master’s exceeded everyone’s expectations. “My reason is the same as yours.” “Is it?” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King sneered. “We want the Rakshasa King dead. Is that what you’re aiming for?” “Hahaha...” White Robe Demon Master let out a soft, gentle chuckle. “What a coincidence. That is exactly what I’m aiming for.” “What?!” The Sages all exclaimed in shock when they heard this. Naturally, they didn’t believe him. “You don’t believe me? It’s the truth though.” The White Robe Demon Master seemed to have predicted their reactions. Before they could press him for an answer, he asked, “You want to know why I want the Rakshasa King dead?” “It’s simple. It’s because I’m a human as well.” The five Sages were utterly speechless. It wasn’t out of shock, but amusement. Seriously. This was funnier than a blood-soaked mankiller claiming that he was the goodest person in the entire world. “Don’t believe me?” White Robe Demon Master gauged their reactions and asked. The Sky Scorching Great Emperor snorted. “Do you think we should believe such a ludicrous statement?” “You don’t? Never mind then.” The White Robe Demon Master shrugged. “Anyway, stop watching me already. I promise I won’t help the Rakshasa King. Let’s all enjoy the show, shall we?” The five Sages exchanged glances with each other. Their puzzlement was only growing by the second. They just could not tell if the White Robe Demon Master was telling the truth, telling them a half-truth, or lying from the start until the end. They couldn’t tell anything. Naturally, this frustrated them greatly. There was nothing they could do about it though. After all, they couldn’t defeat the White Robe Demon Master. The only good news was that White Robe Demon Master truly did not seem to be interested in getting involved in the battle or fighting against them. Even so, the five Sages did not dare to lower their guard. They continued to surround White Robe Demon Master, seal the space around him, and watch him closely. White Robe Demon Master did not seem to care about their “rudeness”. His gaze had shifted back to the grand battle as soon as he finished his sentence. More accurately, he was watching the Burning Nether Holy Lord one-sidedly pummeling the Rakshasa King to bits. Speaking of which, the Rakshasa King was regenerating slower and slower as the Burning Nether Holy Lord continued his assault. His aura was growing weaker and weaker as well. However, the molten lava on the ground was growing hotter and spreading faster by the second. Almost the entire Rakshasa Land had turned into molten lava at this point. Only a handful of Strangers were still alive as well. Everyone else had died or drowned in the molten lava. “At this rate, the Burning Nether Holy Lord will die.” Suddenly, White Robe Demon Master let out a sigh. The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King taunted, “Does the mighty White Robe Demon Master have bad eyesight or something? It should be the other way around, isn’t it?” White Robe Demon Master asked patiently, “Which one of your eyes saw that the Rakshasa King is about to die?” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King declared with certainty, “Both. Something wrong about that?” “Sigh... you really are a shit-for-brains.” White Robe Demon Master sighed and shook his head. “I can’t believe someone like you managed to make it to sagehood. No wonder the Profound Alliance has been declining over the years.” “You—!” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King glared at the Stranger. “Control yourself, Celestial Suppressing.” “Don’t fall for his trickery.” Sky Scorching Great Emperor and Danxia Zi hurriedly stopped him. They were sincerely afraid that their hot-tempered fellow would lose his cool and attack White Robe Demon Master. Who knows if this was the Stranger’s trick? “If someone tells you you’re stupid, you should accept their criticism. It’s the truth after all.” White Robe Demon Master let out a provocative chuckle before explaining, “On the surface, it looks like the Burning Nether Holy Lord completely holds the upper hand. But didn’t you notice? His power is decreasing constantly. Already, he is not as strong as he was at the beginning.” “So what? The Rakshasa King is dying as well, isn’t he?” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King argued. He might not be allowed to fight the bastard, but surely he could talk him to death?
