After Faking Her Death and Escaping, the Junior Sister Fell to the Demonic Path - Chapter 69.1

At the same time, Venerable Wen Qing, who was fighting fiercely on Qidong Mountain, felt a sudden sharp pain in her heart.

She instantly sensed something was wrong and quickly withdrew from the front line of the battlefield.

Then she formed a hand seal, intending to divine the fate of her disciples.

But the next moment, she let out a horrified cough, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

She couldn’t calculate it!

What exactly happened at Black Water Cliff?!

——————

Tiwina was holding Yev’s head, the look of tenderness from the previous moment instantly replaced by an expressionless face.

He threw Yev’s head into the blood pool, along with the body.

The corpse slowly sank, absorbed entirely by the blood pool. Three breaths later, all that floated up was a snake skeleton.

“Yev, the Demon God will remember your contribution.”

Tiwina seemed frenzied, looking at the blood pool with a dark, fanatical gaze.

“If this Lord had known this method earlier, why would I have been so troubled?”

“Yev, this Lord will keep in mind the contribution you’ve made to the Demon God’s reincarnation.”

The blood pool was bubbling, but at that moment, Tiwina turned and fixed his eyes on Qin Qingyi.

“Tefa, step forward.”

His words were wrapped in the demonic race’s pressure, forcing Qin Qingyi to advance.

Damn it! Is he going to kill me too?

Qin Qingyi was hanging on by a thread, her steps difficult. At this moment, she wished this path could stretch for a hundred thousand miles.

Master, I was wrong.

Being an undercover agent isn’t easy either.

If she were given another chance, she would definitely rush to the front lines and never come to this Black Water Demon Lair again.

Fear chilled her heart. After all, she knew from Tefa’s memory that Yev was arguably Tiwina’s most trusted second-in-command, yet now Tiwina had slain Yev without batting an eye.

Although she had long known the demon race was ruthless, seeing it firsthand still made Qin Qingyi gasp in cold air.

“Don’t be afraid, this Venerable will protect you.”

In this critical moment, Immortal Venerable Wuwang spoke again.

“Really?” Qin Qingyi was both surprised and delighted.

“Of course it’s real. This Venerable wouldn’t stoop to lying.”

With this assurance, Qin Qingyi immediately felt more secure and no longer feared Tiwina. She took a few quick steps forward and, pretending to be deferential, bowed to Tiwina.

“Tefa, do you know why this Lord killed Yev?”

He first posed a question.

Qin Qingyi shook her head; of course, she didn’t know.

You go mad and kill your own subordinate, and then expect others to guess the reason.

Truly sick in the head.

Seeing Qin Qingyi shake her head, Tiwina instead burst into loud laughter. After a moment, he explained the reason to Qin Qingyi.

“This Lord only learned today that on Qidong Mountain, they no longer rely solely on the livestock of the Immortal Sects to refine the Demon God’s containers. Now, they will also voluntarily offer their bodies to the Demon God in exchange for power!”

“Damn it! This Lord actually failed to think of this method!”

“If this Lord had known this method earlier, why would I have had to endure the outrage of Qidong Mountain!”

He spoke to himself, his eyes fixed on the blood pool.

Qin Qingyi followed his gaze and noticed that the snake-shaped skeleton, which had belonged to Yev, was now slowly sinking.

This was very strange.

Because just a moment ago, the skeleton was floating on the blood pool, and its current descent must have another reason.

Qin Qingyi quickly pondered, her sharp eyes noticing that new flesh seemed to be growing on the skeleton.

But before she could see clearly, the skeleton had completely submerged.

And the blood pool, which had been gently bubbling, began to boil like a raging cauldron. Large blood bubbles rose from the bottom, bursting on the surface with a “pop—,” splattering blood everywhere.

Tiwina’s breathing also became ragged with the boiling of the blood pool.

He quickly leaned over the edge of the blood pool, almost burying his head, constantly muttering, “It’s a success! It must be a success!”

As the blood pool boiled, the blood that had almost been overflowing was rapidly evaporating and receding. In just a moment, the level had dropped by a hand’s length.

Seeing this, Tiwina grew nervous. He stood up, his eyes scanning the demonic cocoons around him.

This immediately made Qin Qingyi feel uneasy.

Meeting Qin Qingyi’s gaze, Tiwina quickly walked to a demonic cocoon, then drew his sword, severing the connection between the blood pool and the cocoon.

The previously stable demonic cocoon, suddenly deprived of the blood pool’s nourishment, immediately withered. In less than three breaths, it was lifeless, completely declared dead.

Tiwina swiftly kicked the dead demonic cocoon into the blood pool.

The heavy object splashing in created a splash of fetid blood over a dozen feet high.

The demonic cocoon rapidly dissolved in the blood pool, once again turning into nutrients.

The blood pool’s rate of descent did slow down because of Tiwina’s action.

Seeing this, Tiwina was overjoyed.

So he took three steps in two, quickly severing all the surrounding cocoons connected to the blood pool and tossing them into the blood pool.

The rate of the blood pool’s descent was even slower now.

Tiwina even called for Qin Qingyi to help: “Tefa, why are you just standing there?”

“The Demon God’s reincarnation needs our help. Hurry up and remove these useless things to send nutrients to the Demon God!”

As he spoke, Tiwina tossed a few more demonic cocoons into the blood pool.

To avoid suspicion, Qin Qingyi had no choice but to comply.

But…

“What exactly is it trying to do?”

Qin Qingyi asked Immortal Venerable Wuwang, who resided in her Dantian.

A few days ago, she learned that these demonic cocoons were all containers prepared for the Demon God. Why is he melting these containers back into the blood pool now?

Qin Qingyi swung her knife, cutting down a demonic cocoon. In the moments before its death, she could see that it contained a human infant.

But given the current situation, she could barely protect herself, let alone claim the body.

Qin Qingyi’s heart ached again.

But following the pain came raging anger and an overwhelming hatred for the demon race.

During her time in this small secret room, she had seen dozens of human infants, and some of her own demon race.

These children all possessed extremely high talents. If they had been allowed to grow, they could have become pillars of their sects or the hope for the revival of a family.

Now, they were all buried here.

Not only were they being corrupted by demonic energy to serve as containers for the Demon Sovereign, but they were ultimately being squeezed for their last bit of value, all for the sake of the demon race’s so-called Demon Sovereign reincarnation.

The demon race is truly detestable!

“Can’t you see it?” Immortal Venerable Wuwang spoke.

“That demon general is now rebuilding his physical body in the blood pool; didn’t you see it just now?”

Immortal Venerable Wuwang was referring to how Qin Qingyi had clearly seen Yev’s skeleton growing flesh just now, yet she was now asking Tiwina what he was doing.

“It’s obvious, Tiwina is turning Yev into a container. However, if Yev can’t bear it, you might be next.”

This sent a shiver down Qin Qingyi’s spine.

She couldn’t help but glance at the blood pool again.

She would be thrown in there too?

No way!

“Immortal Venerable, save me!”

In the urgent moment, Qin Qingyi quickly dropped to her knees.

The only one who could save her now was Immortal Venerable Wuwang. If she didn’t beg for her life now, who else could she rely on?

Could she rely on her Junior Brothers and Sisters outside the secret room, whose strength was still insufficient to save her from this predicament? Or could she rely on her Master, whose strength was sufficient but who was currently a thousand miles away?

Of course, she must rely on the powerful Immortal Venerable Wuwang, who was right here!

She wasn’t stupid.

Facing Qin Qingyi’s sudden plea, Immortal Venerable Wuwang naturally understood her thoughts. She didn’t get angry, merely giving a soft snort: “I told you earlier to inherit my legacy, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look, you’ve reached a dead end, and don’t you still have to beg this Venerable?”

Qin Qingyi could only chuckle sheepishly, “Oh, my ancestor, don’t say that. A disciple can only have one Master, right? If I were to inherit your legacy, wouldn’t that be trampling on my Master’s reputation? I’m her first disciple, that wouldn’t be proper.”

Immortal Venerable Wuwang had repeatedly asked her to inherit her legacy before, but Qin Qingyi had never relented; she had her own principles.

Although the situation was critical now, Qin Qingyi still didn’t agree. She was gambling that Immortal Venerable Wuwang wouldn’t just stand by and watch her die.

Residing in her Dantian, relying on her spiritual and demonic energy for nourishment, she couldn’t possibly do nothing and just watch her die, right?

“What’s improper about it? I only want you to inherit my Sword Intent, not to take me as your Master. It wouldn’t sever your ties with your Master.”

Immortal Venerable Wuwang scoffed, quite disdainful of Qin Qingyi’s reasoning.

“If this Venerable were still in this realm, countless young people would be vying to become my disciple. Even a nominal disciple, many would fight tooth and nail just to meet me once. But you, you repeatedly refuse this Venerable, do you truly think this Venerable is dependent on you?”

Her words were true.

Back then, when Immortal Venerable Wuwang emerged, sealing her path to immortality with a single sword stroke on Mount Wuwang, countless people sought to meet her and listen to her sermons.

At that time, Mount Wuwang wasn’t called Mount Wuwang; it was just an ordinary small hill. It was only because Immortal Venerable Wuwang became too famous that it was renamed Mount Wuwang.

Yet, who would have thought that after all this time, the Immortal Venerable Wuwang, whom everyone praised and sought after, would have moments of having to humble herself, asking a junior to take up her legacy.

It was truly heartbreaking.

After failing to tempt her several times, Immortal Venerable Wuwang also lost her patience. Although this girl was unyielding, she was a good seed after all. If she were to die in this demon lair, it would be a loss to both the demon race and the Xuan Tian Realm.

After some thought, Immortal Venerable Wuwang angrily snorted.

“Fine, fine, I will save you.”

“If this little demon makes a move on you later, this Venerable will appear. However, I must borrow your body for a moment. Just remember not to be too nervous then.”

Qin Qingyi naturally agreed without question.

It was only when half of the demonic cocoons in the entire secret room had been thrown in that Tiwina called a halt.

Watching the blood in the pool calm down from its boiling state, Tiwina’s face was filled with satisfaction: “The fellows on Qidong Mountain didn’t lie to me after all. It was worth sacrificing so much authority.”

When the blood pool completely calmed down, Qin Qingyi’s heart also tightened.

After about ten breaths of stillness, the blood pool was as placid as a dead lake. Tiwina’s eyebrows gradually furrowed due to this strange and abnormal tranquility.

“Could the fellows on Qidong Mountain have been deceiving me?!”

Just as he was about to step forward to investigate, a ripple gradually spread from the very center of the blood pool the moment he lifted his foot.

Then came a muffled vibration, like a drumbeat.

One ripple, one vibration.

Like a beating heart, it continuously pulsed, causing ripples in the blood pool.

Along with it came an ancient, oppressive aura that threatened to crush one’s spine.

“The Demon God is about to awaken!”

The doubt on Tiwina’s face vanished instantly. He recognized the owner of this aura:

“Sinful servant Tiwina respectfully welcomes the Demon God back to the world!”

He raised his arms and shouted towards the blood pool, completely forgetting that Qin Qingyi was also present.

“Step back. Something is about to emerge from that pool.”

Immortal Venerable Wuwang spoke, her voice unprecedentedly solemn.

Qin Qingyi was on high alert, slowly moving toward the edge of the wall where Tiwina couldn’t see her.

“What is in there?”

Qin Qingyi swallowed, her heart pounding. When that wave of pressure swept over her just now, she nearly collapsed to her knees and coughed up blood.

What exactly was that?

The Demon God?

“The Demon God.”

Immortal Venerable Wuwang confirmed her thought.

“The king of the demon race, who leads them in expanding their territory and attempting to conquer the Xuan Tian Realm.”

“He is using Yev’s body for his reincarnation.”

No sooner had Immortal Venerable Wuwang finished speaking than the rippling blood pool became still again.

Then, a string of equally foul-smelling bubbles rose from the center of the blood pool.

Gurgle, gurgle—

After the sound, a head slowly rose from the bottom of the pool. The eyes, nose, and mouth gradually emerged above the blood until it stopped at the chin. The majority of the head floated on the blood pool, with only the neck and below submerged.

It was Yev’s head.

Qin Qingyi saw it clearly.

She had interacted with Yev quite a bit recently, so she naturally couldn’t mistake it.

However, the beautiful head was now covered in dark blood, and the face was covered in black scales, with blood trickling down the scales.

The snake pupils opened, a field of crimson.
