Volume 8, Chapter 15 – Have You Ever Seen Such a Cute Villain

After killing the Demon Lord, Tianyin canceled her Sneak state.

Of course, this sudden cancellation of Sneak was not something Tianyin did unconsciously, but something she did deliberately.

After all, once a Demon Lord was killed, other demons would definitely notice the fact that this Demon Lord had died.

And what Tianyin needed to do next was to push this matter forward and make the death of the Demon Lord be exposed more quickly.

And if she wanted this to be exposed faster, then revealing her own aura was the best method available to Tianyin right now.

The intensity of a Throne-tier aura only needed to be exposed slightly for others to detect it. And because the cognitive tampering skill Tianyin had activated earlier was still in effect, even if her aura was detected, others would only think that the aura belonged to a demon.

And once they sensed the aura and rushed to the scene, it would be easy to discover that the Demon Lord present had already met a violent death.

Of course, if it were only to expose the fact that a Demon Lord had been killed, that would still be far too simple.

“The death of a single Demon Lord is absolutely impossible to make these Demon Lords start infighting. Next, I still need to kill multiple Demon Lords.”

At the instant she exposed her aura, Tianyin made her next decision.

Without looking again at the already dead Demon Lord in front of her, Tianyin quickly turned around and stepped toward the outside of the tent.

With just a single step, Tianyin’s small loli body instantly disappeared from within the tent.

And a few minutes after Tianyin vanished, dozens of Demon Lords arrived at this tent one after another.

“Dead…”

The Demon Lords of various forms looked at the Demon Lord that was dead beyond any doubt, and the expressions on their faces were extremely complicated.

Of course, aside from those complicated expressions, the looks exchanged between the Demon Lords were also filled with a guarded wariness called distrust.

Without a doubt, due to Tianyin’s skill altering cognition, at the moment her aura was exposed, all the Demon Lords present believed that the true identity of the being who exposed that aura was a genuine demon.

Although they did not know Tianyin’s true appearance, the demon aura was absolutely unmistakable. So after arriving at the scene and seeing the Demon Lord that had died violently, all the Demon Lords present subconsciously believed that the murderer was among these Demon Lords.

“Who exactly killed him? Didn’t the Abyssal Lord calculate this? During the war, infighting between demons is forbidden.”

The one who spoke was a Demon Lord who looked almost the same as a human.

Although this Demon Lord appeared to lack much power, in reality, among all the Demon Lords present, this Demon Lord ranked near the top in strength.

Therefore, his words carried great weight, and at least none of the Demon Lords present would ignore this question.

“I don’t know… although I have a grudge against Edwin, I wouldn’t risk being erased by the Lord over something like this.”

A Demon Lord’s expression turned rather ugly, but under the pressure of how serious the matter was, he still hurriedly stepped forward to make his stance clear.

And as this Demon Lord spoke up, several Demon Lords present who had grudges with the dead Demon Lord Edwin also spoke one after another to clear themselves of suspicion.

Of course, demons understood demons the best. Regarding these Demon Lords who swore their innocence, none of the Demon Lords present, including the one who asked the question at the start, believed their words.

After all, demons were inherently a group of evil, chaotic, and cunning existences. And lies were a necessary skill for demons. Precisely because they knew demons could betray and lie without any burden or psychological pressure, all demons chose not to believe the words just spoken.

Demons without suspicion would not believe the excuses of demons who were under suspicion.

And demons under suspicion were also unwilling to believe the explanations coming from demons who shared the same suspicion.

Thus, as the dead Demon Lord was discovered, the remaining Demon Lords began to suspect each other over the question of who the murderer really was.

“As expected… if we want to deal with a powerful enemy, we can try starting the destruction from the inside.”

Although she had already left earlier, in reality Tianyin had not left this tent.

That earlier sudden disappearance was merely the activation of another set of stealth-like skills. After entering the Sneak state again, Tianyin openly stayed inside the tent to watch the show.

As the mutual suspicion among the Demon Lords continued to grow, Tianyin finally acknowledged the feasibility of her method.

『Heheheheheh, as expected, I’m the most amazing one!』

Thinking about the successful execution of her plan, Tianyin’s mood grew increasingly cheerful. As her emotions changed, a pleased smile of success also appeared on her face.

「Pfft, I have to say, Xiaoyin right now really looks like a villain.」

『Hah? Samael, have you ever seen a villain as cute as me?』

「I truly hadn’t before. But now… heh, heh, that’s hard to say.」

Samael’s words were somewhat ambiguous, but for Tianyin, they were something she could completely ignore. After all, most of Tianyin’s attention was focused on her plan.

“Edwin’s death absolutely cannot just be left like this. Next, I will organize demons to investigate. If that still doesn’t work, I will personally ask the Abyssal Lord to personally search for the murderer!”

In the end, the Demon Lords’ discussion came to nothing. After this meeting ended, the Demon Lords scattered and left.

As the tent became empty, Tianyin let out a slightly disappointed sigh.

『As expected… the death of a single Demon Lord really can’t make these Demon Lords erupt into conflict. And just now, the Abyssal Lord might even choose to personally descend here because of how serious the matter is.』

「Now you know it’s difficult, right? But saying that, are you planning to give up, Xiaoyin?」

『Hmph! Of course not! Don’t underestimate me, Samael!』

Tianyin puffed out her cheeks as she made a firm and serious declaration. After finishing her declaration, Tianyin slowly narrowed her eyes.

And a fierce glint began to flicker within them.

『Next, which Demon Lord should I kill?』

With her eyes narrowed, Tianyin had already begun selecting the next Demon Lord she would kill.

And after thinking it over, Tianyin decided on her next target.

That was the Demon Lord who had spoken first earlier and had even brought up inviting the Abyssal Lord to personally intervene, the one who looked the most like a human.

『It will be him…』

After deciding on her target, Tianyin began searching for the aura of that Demon Lord who had just been present at the scene.
