Chapter 477 Ling Jiao
The entire demon world is locked up in jail. Does that mean it doesn't matter?
The left protector mustered up his courage and asked innocently, "Demon Lord, is this really nothing to do with me?"
"What if I said I locked those people up."
The Demon Lord didn't care. Can he lock up everyone?
"How many people were imprisoned and why?"
"The entire demon clan."
The Demon Lord's expression showed a slight crack again, "All?"
The left protector said firmly: "Yes."
"Demon Lord, the water here is very deep. Let me explain it to you one by one."
The Demon Lord said, "What crime have you committed?"
Left Guardian: "Betray the demon clan."
Demon Lord: "..."
Sang Cihuan: “…”
What you mean is, I have been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and when I came out, the entire demon clan rebelled?

[For Yu Lingjiao, growing up is an endless rainy season, and she just hates rain.
She was lying on the cold ground, having just finished a brutal torture. Blood was dripping onto the ground like a heavy rain in her heart, forming a small pool of blood. The sticky and bright red blood reflected her blurry shadow.
Perhaps her life had come to an end, and a revolving lantern began to play before her eyes, like the movie that Jiang Xian had described, with every scene playing out.
Before she was fifteen, if someone asked her who the most important people were, she would say without hesitation that it was Xie Sichen and her father, followed by other, less important people.
She seemed to have a good relationship with many people, but she didn't actually like them that much, and they didn't have a very good relationship with her either. Maybe it was because she always stuck to Xie Shichen like his little follower, and she didn't want to waste time on anyone other than Xie Shichen.
Jiang Xian... Actually, Ling Jiao didn't know what the relationship between her and her was. Could they be called friends? But they were completely different and had many conflicting ideas.
She even had many quarrels with her because of Xie Sichen.
She didn't think she was her friend. But she was important.
In a trance, Ling Jiao seemed to hear Jiang Xian's voice, who asked her what she liked.
She replied, Isn't it obvious, Xie Sichen.
She said she was not a human, not the other things that revolved around Xie Sichen, what she liked and what she hated, what she wanted to do after everything was over, did she want to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, or inherit the sect and carry on her father's wishes...
What Jiang Xian said was so lofty, a level she had never dared to imagine, let alone whether she could do it.
It is hard to imagine that, as the daughter of the head of the sect, she has average talent for cultivation and only knows some of the arts that ordinary people can learn, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. No matter when, she always plays the role of a protected person.
Ling Jiao remembered that she thought for a long time and answered a few things she liked to do.
Jiang Xian frowned and said that those were not what she liked. She said that she didn't like reading at all and her eyes often wandered while flipping through the book. It was just because Xie Shichen liked it.
"Don't always revolve around him. You weren't born for him."
"Wouldn't it be better to revolve around him?"
Her father had told her since she was a child that Xie Sichen was a genius and the husband he had chosen for her. In the future, he would hand over his precious daughter to him, as well as the future of the entire sect.
Jiang Xian smiled and said, "If I really love you, why don't I teach you the basic self-defense skills..."
"Don't say that. It's just that I don't have the talent and don't like to learn."
Jiang Xian hit the nail on the head.
Maybe I really should learn a few tricks, otherwise I wouldn't be so weak that I can't even protect myself, and when I encounter danger, I have no other choice but to wait for rescue.
Everyone understood that keeping her alive was nothing more than a way to gain greater benefits from Jiang Xian. 】
The character of Ling Jiao is also a complete tragedy. From the early stage, she was completely dependent on others and had no self-awareness as an NPC, but in the later stage, she gradually had the breath of a living person.
In terms of her personality, she is not likable either. As she herself said, no one likes someone who depends on others all the time and always holds them back.
But she does take care of everyone carefully and gently, even if she ignores her own emotions from beginning to end. Readers are more disappointed with her and don't understand why she puts a dead man like Xie Sichen in a higher position than Jiang Xian, and why she always feels that she is unimportant.
The novel has a reversal at this point, filling in some foreshadowing laid in the early stages.
After the traitor's identity was changed, a new question arose: who was the real traitor - the head of the sect. The head of the sect who was apparently dead was also Ling Jiao's father.
The tactic of faking death and escaping is not unfamiliar in novels, and is even more common in literature about cultivating immortals.
But if you ask whether readers can accept fake death in this form in a novel, the answer is definitely no.
When they saw this, their minds were filled with confusion.
The shock level was no less than the change in the traitor's undercover identity. The exposure of the truth not only broke the defenses of readers outside the novel, but also many characters within the novel. It was simply another heavy blow to the protagonists after the extermination of the entire family.
The real leader had died together with his fellow Taoist, but the outside world had always believed that only one person died in that man-made disaster.
The key is that this traitor was an undercover agent. Not only did he play the role of the sect leader without being OOC, he also managed the sect in an orderly manner. He even led the sect to win several immortal sect competitions. He was also very good at taking care of children... In short, if you look at it from an outsider's perspective, you can say that he is evil, but you cannot say that he is unprofessional.
Before he killed the real leader and replaced him, the sect had never won a single consecutive victory in the Immortal Sect Competition.
The truth is undoubtedly cruel to Ling Jiao. Her real parents died at the beginning of the story, and she has regarded the thieves as her father for seventeen years.
[In fact, they had no need to keep Ling Jiao at the beginning. Perhaps out of revenge for her biological parents, the man saved her life and let her call him father.
When she was three years old, she thought she had a disease that almost cost her life, but she didn't know that her spiritual roots had been destroyed without her knowing it. From then on, she became the daughter of the head of the sect with mediocre talent.
Ling Jiao remembered the day she recovered from her illness. When she opened her eyes, she saw her father sitting beside the bed. His eyes were filled with fatigue and his face looked particularly miserable. He seemed to be very worried about her illness. At that time, she thought that she should be nicer to him. He was already tired enough managing the entire sect...
But he didn't know that everything was carefully planned. When he saw the guilt and heartache in her eyes, what was he thinking? Was he wondering why she was so easy to deceive?
