“Go to hell, you dog!”
Immortal Venerable Wuwang, manipulating Qin Qingyi’s body, stabbed the sword in again. Immediately, two bloody holes appeared in the body that originally belonged to Yefu, the vessel for the Demon God.
And this body, which was possessed as a vessel, began to leak black smoke from the wounds, rotting away inch by inch.
The Demon God retreated two steps, letting out a deafening roar.
Tivina’s eyes instantly widened with fury.
“Tefa! What are you doing?!”
It was at this time that the demon disguise on Qin Qingyi’s body expired and began to peel away.
When she looked up, Tivina could only see a seductive beauty’s face, replacing Tefa’s extremely ugly demon appearance.
“An ignorant fool.”
Immortal Venerable Wuwang defined him.
One of the Twelve Demon Kings, considered a top fighter among the demons, yet he hadn’t seen through their disguise for so long—what else but a fool?
Tivina was immediately enraged and embarrassed.
But before he could approach, the tightly shut stone door of the secret chamber was broken open from the outside. The demon general that Zhou Zhixue had transformed into stood at the entrance.
“What are you doing in here?!”
“Get out of here now!!”
Tivina roared.
Everything inside this secret chamber was forbidden knowledge, not to be spread, even within the demon race.
So, upon seeing Zhou Zhixue, Tivina’s first reaction was to scold and order her to leave.
But Zhou Zhixue saw Qin Qingyi at a glance and saw that she had lost her disguise. Immediately, she stopped concealing herself, tore off her demon disguise, and stood beside Qin Qingyi.
“Eldest Sister.”
Her eyes were filled with worry as she quickly said to Qin Qingyi: “I heard movement inside just now and have already notified our Senior Brothers.”
As she spoke, she scrutinized Qin Qingyi up and down, only sighing in relief after confirming she was unharmed. “That’s great, Eldest Sister, I’m glad you’re okay.”
Immortal Venerable Wuwang was still inside Qin Qingyi. To be precise, one of them was controlling half of the body—Qin Qingyi on the left, Immortal Venerable Wuwang on the right.
And Zhou Zhixue happened to be standing on Immortal Venerable Wuwang’s side.
Feeling the sincere, burning gaze from beside her, Immortal Venerable Wuwang suddenly had a mischievous thought.
“Little Fox, do you want this Venerable to show you how to interact with your Junior Sister first?”
Inside the spiritual consciousness, Immortal Venerable Wuwang’s smile reached Qin Qingyi.
“What?” Qin Qingyi didn’t understand.
But Immortal Venerable Wuwang ignored her. Instead, she manipulated her body, turned her head, and looked at Zhou Zhixue with loving eyes: “Thank you, Junior Sister. Junior Sister, you are very thoughtful.”
Saying that, she moved a step closer, leaning near Zhou Zhixue’s shoulder: “Junior Sister, rushing in like this, you’ve put yourself in danger again.”
Her movement was gentle, yet it was at such a critical moment, with a Demon King and half a Demon God glaring at them.
Zhou Zhixue’s back was already tense due to the proximity, and hearing this, she felt very confused.
“Again”?
Had she put herself in a similar situation before?
Zhou Zhixue slightly frowned, not quite understanding.
She never remembered having a direct confrontation with the demon race.
The only time was coming to Black Water Cliff to find her Eldest Sister, never directly encountering the demons.
Immortal Venerable Wuwang naturally knew that she hadn’t yet recalled the past, as it was sealed by her own hand.
But Qin Qingyi was already frantic and about to stomp her foot: “Don’t talk nonsense! Get away from my Junior Sister!”
“Old, disrespectable fool, don’t get so close to my Junior Sister!”
She paced anxiously in her spiritual consciousness.
Immortal Venerable Wuwang raised an eyebrow: “But this Venerable didn’t say anything that would cause a misunderstanding, did I?”
“And why are you so eager to stop this Venerable? Is it merely out of profound love for your Junior Sister? In this Venerable’s opinion, I doubt it.”
That was also true. Immortal Venerable Wuwang’s actions could hardly be called inappropriate, and Qin Qingyi truly had no right to stop her.
After all, she and Zhou Zhixue were just fellow disciples, and she had been away for ten years. For ordinary people, they would have long become estranged, and there shouldn’t be such deep feelings.
But her Junior Sister was always different to her.
Qin Qingyi recalled the day she slept on the same bed as her Junior Sister, and that thin garment hidden with such effort.
Her Junior Sister had developed inappropriate feelings for her.
And she, indeed, had no intention of stopping it, but rather indulged it…
It shouldn’t be.
She shouldn’t be doing this.
The human and demon paths were separate; that was the rule of the demon race. As the future Demon Empress, she should not violate this rule.
Qin Qingyi closed her eyes tightly.
She must make a decision!
With this thought, when she reopened her eyes, Qin Qingyi forcefully regained control of her body and quickly stepped back, distancing herself by three feet.
“Junior Sister, this place is dangerous. You should quickly escape, reunite with your Senior Brothers, and break out of the demon lair.”
Qin Qingyi’s face was dark, and she deliberately spoke harshly and coldly.
This place was too dangerous. The fall she took at Tivina’s hands last time still haunted her, and this time, she absolutely would not allow her Junior Sister to be hurt here again.
In the current situation, the further her Junior Sister was from her, the safer she would be.
Besides… what if Tivina recognized her Junior Sister?
Her sudden change in demeanor alarmed Zhou Zhixue.
“But Eldest Sister, you’re also in great danger here…”
Qin Qingyi interrupted her: “I don’t need you to worry about me!”
“Hurry up and leave! Am I, as your Eldest Sister, unable to order you?!”
The words were stern and ripped at Zhou Zhixue’s heart, which felt sour and painful, like it was steeped in aged vinegar.
She lowered her gaze and only quietly replied: “Okay.”
A Junior Sister should listen to her Eldest Sister.
She silently backed away, intending to leave, but the already furious Tivina would never allow her to leave with the demon race’s secret.
He immediately raised his weapon and launched a sneak attack at Zhou Zhixue.
Qin Qingyi’s pupils contracted at this sight, but it was too late to stop it.
“Junior Sister, be careful!”
She shouted, raising her sword and unleashing a sword intent, trying to block Tivina’s attack.
But he was already within reach of Zhou Zhixue.
Qin Qingyi’s sword intent was a step too slow.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, Tivina’s face was hideous: “Die, lackey of the immortal sect!”
Anyone who knows the secret of the Demon God should not be allowed to leave!!!
But the next second, his attack stalled mid-air.
A sword had blocked him.
Frost instantly condensed, cold air diffused, freezing into petals of ice. A bone-chilling coldness crept up Tivina’s arm, freezing his hand to his weapon.
Zhou Zhixue raised her hand and gripped the hilt of the sword. Ice shards exploded around her, and the look in her eyes as she looked up at Tivina contained a storm:
“My Eldest Sister told me to leave. Didn’t you hear her?”
Seeing that she was fine, Qin Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
But the matter was not over. Seeing that her Junior Sister was already fighting Tivina, Immortal Venerable Wuwang took over Qin Qingyi’s body again.
The Demon God was not completely dead yet.
Plop—
The sound of a body falling.
Yefu’s body was now tattered; the flesh that had just been reshaped was now nothing but a skeleton.
Several dark red, fleshy tentacles crawled out of the blood pool, groped their way to Yefu’s skeleton, hooked the scattered bones and head, and prepared to dip them back into the blood pool.
Immortal Venerable Wuwang stepped forward and swiftly cut them off with a few strokes. Then, she quickly acted, plunging the Liubai Sword fiercely into the eye socket of the skull.
“You take the other side. This Venerable truly can’t hold on much longer.”
Leaving those words, Immortal Venerable Wuwang sank into the Dantian to sleep. Qin Qingyi instantly regained control of her body and staggered slightly, nearly falling.
Following Immortal Venerable Wuwang’s instructions, Qin Qingyi raised her sword and plunged it into the other eye socket of the skeleton. The next moment, a sharp shriek rang out, stinging Qin Qingyi’s ears, but her hand trembled without letting go, still tightly gripping the hilt of the sword.
At this point, they absolutely could not fail!
The skeleton vibrated violently, the bones colliding with each other, producing a chilling “clack clack” sound.
Even more unsettling was that this set of bones, which should have been completely dead, extended a skeletal hand and gripped Qin Qingyi’s wrist holding the sword.
“Damn it! Why can’t I shake it off?!”
Qin Qingyi yanked twice but found that the claw seemed glued to her hand. She immediately hardened her resolve, holding the sword in her left hand, and aimed at the wrist of the skeletal hand.
The sound of metal hitting stone rang out, and she couldn’t cut it off with one blow.
Qin Qingyi grew anxious, hacking several times. Just as she was about to cut it off, she failed to notice that behind her, dozens of flesh-colored tentacles were looming menacingly.
Before she could land the final blow, those flesh-colored tentacles seized the opportunity, quickly advanced, wrapped around her waist, thighs, and arms, instantly draining her strength.
Qin Qingyi was horrified to realize that these tentacles were purposefully dragging her towards the blood pool.
“Wuwuwuwuwu—”
Help!!!
She didn’t want to become the vessel for the Demon God!!!
Qin Qingyi struggled desperately, raising her sword to cut the tentacles, but they had learned from their previous mistake. The moment she raised her hand, they fiercely slapped her wrist.
Qin Qingyi cried out in pain, and the Liubai Sword instantly fell to the ground.
The tentacles moved again, kicking her sword further away.
Senior, Senior!!
Qin Qingyi frantically called out to Immortal Venerable Wuwang in her mind, but no matter how much she yelled, Immortal Venerable Wuwang did not answer.
Having overdrawn herself by using Qin Qingyi’s body earlier, Immortal Venerable Wuwang had entered a state of hibernation and rest and would not wake up no matter what.
Seeing that she was about to be dragged into the blood pool, a hint of despair flashed across Qin Qingyi’s face.
Was her demon life going to end here?
Zhou Zhixue, who had been constantly watching her, was deeply shocked when she turned around and saw this.
“Eldest Sister!!!”
She stopped fighting, forced Tivina back with a strong attack, and then quickly rushed towards Qin Qingyi.
But in a moment, Qin Qingyi had already been dragged into the blood pool; only her head remained above the surface.
“Junior Sister… don’t come over… glug glug glug.”
The blood pool covered her nose and mouth, making it impossible for her to speak.
Sinking inch by inch, Qin Qingyi gradually lost consciousness. In the final crimson blur of her vision, she saw Zhou Zhixue, her eyes bloodshot, shouting for her heartbrokenly, and following her by jumping into the blood pool.
Fool, why did you jump in too…
If you also lose your life, it’s not worth it…
Three months later.
“You still haven’t found your Eldest Sister?!”
Looking at the disciples who had returned empty-handed again, True Master Wenqing uncharacteristically lost her temper.
Three months!
A full three months!!!
Neither seen alive nor found dead. Apart from a flickering soul lamp that was only a tiny spark, no one knew where her disciple had gone!
The divination was murky; she couldn’t calculate her whereabouts. The subtle signs pointed nowhere—not in the demon race, nor in the Xuan Tian Realm.
Where exactly was that person?!
She smashed her favorite set of teacups and looked at the three disciples kneeling neatly below, wanting to vent her anger, but in the end, she forcibly held it back.
The people before her were all her disciples, and they had been relentlessly searching for Qingyi for months. How could she blame them?
However—
True Master Wenqing thought of the flickering, dim soul lamp, and her heart was severely twisted.
Facing her Master’s questioning, Zhou Zhixue knelt below, her back perfectly straight.
“Replying to Master, Eldest Senior Sister is still… missing.” Zhou Zhixue bowed her head, her voice hoarse.
She wanted to know where her Eldest Sister was more than anyone else.
But—
Zhou Zhixue closed her eyes, trying not to let the tears fall from her sore eyes.
She had searched Black Water Cliff thoroughly, but despite combing the demon lair, she couldn’t find the person she was looking for.
Eldest Sister, where are you now?
Why can’t I find you?
