After Faking Her Death and Escaping, the Junior Sister Fell to the Demonic Path - Chapter 104

Qin Qingyi finally learned the whole story from Feng Ying’s mouth.

“I thought I could save her.”

On Cang Xue Peak, Feng Ying, full of frustration, recounted everything that had happened.

That day, she finally persuaded Feng Ning to return the earth spiritual root that originally belonged to her, restoring her Dantian and meridians.

Since Feng Ning’s injuries had healed, although she didn’t show it, seeing the disciples around her flying in the air, she couldn’t help but feel a little envious.

Feng Ying saw all of this. After much consideration, she decided to try and return the earth spiritual root that originally belonged to Feng Ning to her.

At first, Feng Ning was unwilling.

Feng Ying herself was not human and originally had no spiritual root. This spiritual root was willingly given to her when she made a deal with Feng Ning, so how could she take it back?

Besides—

“If you give it back to me, what will you do?”

Feng Ning frowned.

Feng Ying didn’t care much: “If I don’t have it, I don’t have it. It won’t have any impact on me.”

Seeing that Feng Ning still looked skeptical, Feng Ying sighed and had to explain in detail: “The temporary use of your spiritual root was only to better maintain my human form. At that time, I had just transformed and had already exhausted my power. Without the help of your spiritual root, I wouldn’t have been able to kill that demon.”

“But now I’ve been in human form for many years, and my former shortcomings have been completely remedied. I no longer need your spiritual root.”

Saying that, Feng Ying gave her an example: “Look at me in the past two years, hasn’t my body gotten much better?”

Feng Ning thought about it, and it was true.

Feng Ying no longer needed to use a wheelchair everywhere like before, nor did she pant after taking just one step.

So, in the end, Feng Ning agreed to take back the spiritual root that belonged to her.

Although the matter was agreed upon, the two of them alone couldn’t accomplish it. They needed another powerful person to act as a medium, perfectly removing the spiritual root from Feng Ying’s body and then transplanting it into Feng Ning’s.

So—

“So you sought out Martial Uncle.”

Qin Qingyi suddenly understood.

Feng Ying didn’t get angry at her interruption, she just nodded.

“That’s right, we looked for Feng Ning’s master, Sect Leader Shangguan.”

Qin Qingyi was immediately curious about the key point: “But when you took Feng Ning’s spiritual root, you didn’t need a third person to intervene. Why this time?”

According to what Feng Ning had told her before, when the two first met and Feng Ying took Feng Ning’s spiritual root, there was no one else involved.

Seeing her question, Feng Ying stopped speaking and explained the details.

“Transplanting the spiritual root is not difficult for me. At that time, Feng Ning had cultivated for a short time, and the earth spiritual root was not carefully nurtured, so I did not encounter any obstacles when taking it. But it is different now.”

Saying that, Feng Ying stretched out her palm, and a swirl of earth appeared in her palm.

The residual spiritual energy of the earth spiritual root still allowed her to mobilize a small amount, but it was only enough to mobilize this small clump of earth, no bigger than a fingernail.

She frowned slightly and sighed:

“The earth spiritual root has been in my body for many years, and it is not easy to remove. In addition, Feng Ning’s Dantian was damaged, and someone needed to use spiritual power to clear her broken and blocked meridians before the spiritual root could be transplanted. This means that there must be another person present.”

Qin Qingyi nodded in understanding: “So that’s how it is.”

Feng Ying took Feng Ning to find Shangguan Yu, informed her of the matter, and hoped to get her help.

After hearing the solution proposed by the two, Shangguan Yu briefly considered it and agreed.

“Feng Ning is her only disciple. Doing this will allow Feng Ning to cultivate again. Even if it’s slower, she will quickly return to her rightful position and once again become the Sect Leader’s favorite disciple.”

Feng Ying had a good plan. The spiritual root had been nourished in her body for many years. Initially, the spiritual root stabilized her transformation, making her look more like a “person,” but later, her power had been nourishing the spiritual root, and it was no longer the weak earth spiritual root it once was.

Once the spiritual root was returned to Feng Ning, she would surely quickly return to her peak.

The plan went smoothly. On the appointed day, Shangguan Yu came to their residence to prepare for the spiritual root transplant.

Since both of them were very cooperative, the process of transplanting the spiritual root went smoothly without any mistakes.

In just half an hour, Feng Ning transformed from a “cripple” with a damaged Dantian and ruined spiritual roots back into a Sword Sect disciple who could cultivate.

Feng Ning was very happy at the time. She mobilized the fresh spiritual energy in her body and stretched out her hand, showing a small clump of earth in her palm, cherishing it immensely.

This was proof that she had regained her spiritual root.

She could cultivate again.

Seeing this, Feng Ying was naturally very happy.

Even Shangguan Yu rarely showed a smile, her eyebrows relaxed.

“This is very good. This Venerable will find some things that can nourish the spiritual root and meridians. You should focus on cultivating for the time being.”

Feng Ning was naturally the happiest. She bowed gratefully to Shangguan Yu: “Thank you, Master!”

She was even more grateful and guilty towards Feng Ying: “Xiao Ying, thank you.”

Feng Ying naturally shook her head. She didn’t need Feng Ning’s thanks. Seeing Feng Ning recover was enough for her.

However, the scene that suddenly happened next caught everyone present off guard.

Feng Ning, who was originally fine and constantly feeling the spiritual root in her body, suddenly fell to the ground, followed by extremely agonizing screams and cries of pain.

Feng Ning clutched her Dantian, repeatedly shouting that it hurt so much.

Feng Ning and Shangguan Yu didn’t know what was wrong with her, but seeing such a scene, they naturally rushed forward to check her condition, thinking that perhaps something went wrong with the spiritual root transplant. They wanted to quickly approach her and see exactly what was going on.

“At that time, the Sect Leader and I didn’t know what was wrong with her, but seeing her clutching her Dantian and suffering so much, we thought there was a problem with the spiritual root transplant. We focused on quickly getting her better, and wanted to quickly approach her to see exactly what was going on.”

But as soon as Shangguan Yu got close, Feng Ning, who was previously rolling on the ground in pain, suddenly sprang up. In the blink of an eye, she was behind Shangguan Yu, and a sword pierced through Shangguan Yu’s heart.

Seeing the blood-stained sword tip sticking out from Shangguan Yu’s chest, Feng Ying froze on the spot.

“Finally, this Venerable has waited for this moment.”

Behind Shangguan Yu, demon markings gradually rose from Feng Ning’s cheeks and the neck hidden beneath her collar, quickly covering most of her face. In the end, only one eye remained the black pupil of a human, while the other had turned into the red pupil of a demon.

From head to toe, Feng Ning had almost no human characteristics left.

She laughed hysterically, plunging the sword deeper, and then suddenly pulling the blade out, leaving a trail of blood drops.

Shangguan Yu staggered, nearly falling.

However, her reaction was fast enough. She immediately pressed the pressure points around her body to prevent too much blood loss. Even so, because her heart was pierced, blood quickly soaked her clothes, staining the originally moon-white garment with large patches of crimson.

Shangguan Yu coughed up a large mouthful of blood and could only summon her natal sword, using it as a support to stabilize herself on the ground.

“A demon?” Shangguan Yu asked coldly.

The other party ignored her, just glancing at her with extreme contempt: “Lowly beings like you are not worthy to know this Venerable’s name.”

After saying this, the other party stretched out a hand, opened and closed it, feeling the surge of spiritual power and demonic energy in the body, with a look of disdain: “This body is too weak.”

Shangguan Yu sternly rebuked: “You demon creature from who knows where, shamelessly occupying This Venerable’s disciple’s body, This Venerable is giving you a chance, quickly get out of this body that doesn’t belong to you!”

The demonized Feng Ning naturally didn’t take her words seriously, nor would she care about her resistance.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yu tightened her grip on the sword.

She first looked at Feng Ying: “You hide in a corner. Xiao Ning seems to have been possessed by a demon. I will fight with it and see if there is a way to wake Xiao Ning up.”

Feng Ying quickly agreed.

Feng Ying had just had her spiritual root removed and was weak at the moment. Knowing that she had no fighting power, she didn’t rush forward to cause trouble.

Shangguan Yu told her to hide well, then immediately began to fight with the demonized Feng Ning.

The small house was quickly ravaged in just a moment.

Shangguan Yu deliberately controlled the fight to keep the opponent from leaving the room. Here, she could still hold back the opponent, but if they went outside, the world was vast, and if the opponent wanted to run, she would not be able to find them easily.

However, she was always mindful that this was Feng Ning’s body, and she was very cautious during the fight. After less than a hundred rounds, Shangguan Yu had several new injuries on her body.

The fight stopped, and the two separated.

After stabilizing herself, Shangguan Yu suddenly coughed up another large mouthful of blood.

She had injured her heart meridian just now, and every time she used spiritual power, the wound in her heart worsened.

During this fight, she repeatedly called out to Feng Ning, but there was no response, as if… Feng Ning had completely vanished.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yu’s heart sank.

“You can’t defeat this Venerable, you should retreat quickly.”

The voice of the demonized Feng Ning also became hoarse, and she was very annoyed by Shangguan Yu’s entanglement.

Perhaps because Feng Ning’s body was not strong, and the meridians had just been repaired, this short fight clearly exceeded what she could bear. Blood lines burst open on her face, arms, and all exposed skin, as if something was being stretched open, and demonic energy constantly leaked out from the cracks in her skin.

“Tsk, this body is indeed too weak,” she clicked her tongue in disgust, clearly dissatisfied with Feng Ning’s body. “I should have found a stronger one in the first place.”

This made her even more irritated.

When she looked at Shangguan Yu, who was blocking the doorway, she threatened with her sword: “Get out of the way, and this Venerable can spare your lives. Otherwise—”

Seeing Shangguan Yu still vomiting blood, Feng Ying quickly rushed up to support her.

“Feng Ning, are you crazy?!”

Feng Ying couldn’t believe it. She rushed at Feng Ning to question her.

Drawing a sword against her master, even directly aiming for a vital point—what else was this but madness? Now she even dared to threaten them. Feng Ying was so angry that her blood boiled, and her chest heaved incessantly.

“Feng Ning, are you just going to watch a demon use your body to kill your master?!”

“Feng Ning, wake up! Open your eyes and look!”

“Feng Ning, I don’t believe you’re dead! You need to sober up!”

Facing Feng Ying’s questions, the demonized Feng Ning showed a look of disgust: “Noisy!”

Saying that, her entire body erupted with demonic energy, and she reached out a hand, actually sucking Feng Ying away from Shangguan Yu’s side.

Shangguan Yu’s reaction was a beat too slow due to her injury, and she could only watch helplessly as Feng Ying was grabbed. She was already at her limit and could no longer sustain herself. She could only kneel on the ground, leaning on her sword, and looking at the demonized Feng Ning.

“She is already dead, you don’t need to say these useless words anymore.” The demonized Feng Ning viciously grabbed Feng Ying’s neck, her fingers constantly tightening, as if she was going to choke her to death.

“I don’t believe it.”

Feng Ying struggled, reaching out to pry away the hand clutching her neck. Her face gradually turned red from lack of breath, and even her words were squeezed out of her mouth, one by one.

“Feng Ning… open your eyes… look at me… do you want to kill me?”

“Feng Ning… wake up quickly… wake up!”

Feng Ying almost screamed it out.

Perhaps this sentence really worked, because the next moment, Feng Ying saw the un-demonized eye of Feng Ning show a painful expression.

The expression on her demon-marked face changed several times, as if fighting for control of the body. Her other hand was already placed on the hand clutching Feng Ying’s neck, seemingly trying to pry it open.

The demonized Feng Ning cursed: “Damn it!”

Then she increased the force in her hand even more.

But Feng Ying knew her words had an effect.

She coughed, her face completely red, barely able to breathe, but even so, a triumphant expression appeared on her face: “I knew it, A’Ning, you’re fine.”

The demonized Feng Ning’s expression changed again, finally settling on guilt and pain.

She looked at Feng Ying, whose neck she was clutching, and then at Shangguan Yu, who was lying on the ground not far away, covered in blood. Her hands trembled constantly.

Finally, she only uttered one sentence:

“I’m… sorry, I… I didn’t… mean to…”
