The Cool and Aloof Immortal Master Has Fallen to the Demonic Path (Transmigration) - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

That voice broke the confrontation between her and Yun Dongyue, and it also broke the restraints on her body. She could feel the spell binding her limbs collapsing at that moment. Yi Hu’s pupils contracted, and she hurriedly ran towards the cave behind her.

She only ran one step when the dust under her feet suddenly swirled up and heavily slammed her onto the ground. Her knees sank into the soil, and the soft, wet dirt stained the cloth covering her knees. Yi Hu tremblingly opened her mouth: “P-p-please spare my life.”

“A demon?” The cool female voice was surprised.

Yi Hu had her back to them, kneeling on the ground. Her body became heavy, as if a giant rock was pressing down on her. Even breathing became difficult. Yi Hu struggled to move her fingers. The woman’s voice sounded in her ear: “Don’t move. Move again and you will die.”

She was nothing but a mayfly, fragile and vulnerable.

Whether it was the woman or Yun Dongyue, crushing her was as easy as crushing an ant. In this world of immortal heroes, without demonic power, without mastery of spells, and not being human, only death awaited her.

She really was the unluckiest person in the transmigration world!

The good news was that the woman and Yun Dongyue were not allies; they were in a standoff. Yun Dongyue was unwilling to leave like this. He spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground: “You came so fast.”

“Shen Yin, you caused such a huge commotion in the territory of my Immortal Spirit Sect, how could I not come.”

“Shen Yin, this is from the Ancient Spirit Clan. Tell you what, I’ll give you half, and you let me go.”

Shen Yin, Shen Yin!

The early-stage ‘white moonlight’ master! The biggest villain in the mid-to-late stages!

Her luck was truly exceptional, encountering two villains at once. But now, was this the demonized Shen Yin or the non-demonized Shen Yin? The book didn’t mention Shen Yin confronting Yun Dongyue, so Yi Hu couldn’t determine the current timeline. But she knew that being mistaken for a member of the Ancient Spirit Clan was definitely not a good thing.

“I… I am not of the Ancient Spirit Clan,” she managed to utter the words. She couldn’t move, only her lips could slightly tremble.

Yun Dongyue didn’t believe her: “If you are not of the Ancient Spirit Clan, why could you enter the Ancient Spirit Clan’s Sacred Land?”

That dark, empty cave was actually the Ancient Spirit Clan’s Sacred Land?

One should know that in the original book, the Ancient Spirit Clan’s Sacred Land was a treasure trove, but because Yun Dongyue was too brutal, after being surrounded, killed, and plundered, few of the Ancient Spirit Clan’s bloodline remained, making it almost impossible to enter without gathering the spiritual energy of the Twin Flowers. This Sacred Land also became a place no one could enter.

Later, when the female lead was seriously injured and difficult to cure, she managed to gather the remaining Twin Flowers’ spiritual energy to enter the Sacred Land and recovered after obtaining the miraculous medicine.

To say that the empty cave was the Sacred Land was truly hard for her to imagine, and she couldn’t help but reflect on whether she should have been afraid of the darkness, only thinking of going out and not thinking about going inside. If she had found the miraculous medicine and eaten it immediately, perhaps she wouldn’t have been imprisoned here. Even if it wasn’t the miraculous medicine, eating any of the natural treasures inside would increase her chances of survival.

However, the Sacred Land was also filled with layers of arrays, and even those with the Ancient Spirit bloodline almost got trapped and died inside. How could a mere demon who knew nothing successfully obtain the miraculous medicine?

But she finally understood why Shen Yin was the one who came.

The Ancient Spirit Clan was previously hidden within the Immortal Spirit Sect’s territory, and this small mountain was located to the east of the Immortal Spirit Sect. The area hundreds of miles to the east was under Shen Yin’s jurisdiction. While she was pondering, she heard the people behind her already fighting.

Yun Dongyue naturally wouldn’t be Shen Yin’s opponent. He wasn’t her match even at his peak, let alone now that he was injured. Everyone knew that the most powerful Immortal Spirit Sect Elders were Shen Yin and Feng Lingyan. Yun Dongyue had come day after day to cleave the mountain without using magic weapons, precisely for fear of alerting Shen Yin. If he hadn’t seen the bloodstains on the ground today, realizing there might be someone in the cave, he wouldn’t have rashly used the Demon Bead to break the array.

He knew that the moment the Demon Bead appeared, Shen Yin would definitely come, but he didn’t expect it to be so fast.

But he had finally forced out Yi Hu, who could freely enter and exit the Sacred Land. He was unwilling to just leave like this. His struggle with Shen Yin was a pretense; finding an opportunity to abduct Yi Hu was the truth.

Hearing the sounds of their fighting, Yi Hu reignited hope. She saw a chance for survival in this moment. She wasn’t entirely unlucky; the one she encountered seemed to be the Shen Yin who hadn’t yet demonized. One must know that the person who could become the female lead’s Master was also gentle and kind in the early stages. She wouldn’t have fallen into the demonic path, lost her mind, and repeatedly harmed the two female leads if she hadn’t been misled by her own master later.

She really liked Shen Yin in the early stages when she read the book. She was cool yet gentle. Although strict, she also had a kind and tender side towards the female lead. Coupled with her explosive combat power, protectiveness, and being a powerful master—who wouldn’t love her?

But the author insisted on writing about the Master’s demonization, putting the female lead in a dilemma, and finally resulting in master and disciple fighting each other. It was even labeled as a ‘sweet romance’, yet it had such heartbreaking plot lines, even crippling one of the female leads in the end. This was the main reason she cursed the author.

Now, the only danger was Yun Dongyue. Of course, Shen Yin wasn’t completely safe either, as her current situation was somewhat awkward: a mayfly demon who had rashly entered the Immortal Spirit Sect’s territory and freely entered and exited the Ancient Spirit Clan’s Sacred Land.

She might very well kill her in accordance with the principle of slaying demons and upholding justice, and it might even be a complete annihilation of her soul.

Yi Hu pleaded in her heart for Shen Yin to save her from peril. Behind her, Shen Yin had already forced Yun Dongyue to retreat step by step.

He was ultimately no match for Shen Yin. Clutching the Demon Bead, he gnashed his teeth: “Shen Yin, today you ruined my plans. When we meet again, I will surely make you vanish into thin air!”

Yun Dongyue’s shouting sounded somewhat ridiculous and laughable to Yi Hu. One must know that after Shen Yin demonized, the one who was constantly by her side and utterly obedient was Yun Dongyue. Shen Yin pointed east, and Yun Dongyue dared not go west. Such harsh words were only worth listening to briefly.

Yun Dongyue was gone, but her story with Shen Yin had just begun.

Yi Hu still couldn’t move. Her back felt like a heavy stone was pressing down on her, bending her straight spine. All she could see was the gray dirt in front of her. She had just thought it was the pressure Yun Dongyue applied to her, but it turned out to be Shen Yin’s True Qi suppressing her movement. It seemed Shen Yin really regarded her as an anomaly.

“Who are you?” Her voice was bone-chillingly cold, like an ice needle piercing the heart, yet the tone was extremely pleasant. Hearing it near her ear seemed to lessen the pain slightly.

Yi Hu felt like her throat was choked, and she couldn’t utter a word. The strong fragrance around her kept penetrating her nostrils. So fragrant.

She could feel Shen Yin approaching, but she couldn’t move.

Yi Hu used a great amount of effort to slightly raise her head. A piece of pale green cloth entered her line of sight.

Shen Yin moved forward slightly. Her hand grabbed Yi Hu’s left wrist. Yi Hu glanced down and saw her hands: distinctly boned, slender, and long.

Touching her skin felt like a piece of high-quality ancient jade, smooth and fine.

This was Shen Yin’s hand.

Of course, she had no doubt that such a delicate pair of hands could easily snap her neck.

“I…” Just as Yi Hu opened her mouth, an invisible piece of tape seemed to wrap around her lips, making it difficult to speak again.

Is it really not possible? Facing Shen Yin, she wasn’t even given a chance to speak.

Am I going to die?

To die here like this, without properly experiencing the different world after transmigrating into the book, and to die at the hands of Shen Yin, perhaps even her soul would be annihilated. Of course, it was also possible that she would be reborn tomorrow.

The choking sensation around her neck grew heavier, and her consciousness became increasingly faint.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed. The pressure on Yi Hu’s body disappeared. The giant rock pressing on her seemed to be removed in an instant. Yi Hu collapsed onto the ground.

It was the wings of the mayfly on her back that spread out, emitting a dazzling blue light. Yi Hu stared blankly and reached out to touch the blue light. Shen Yin’s voice sounded in her ear, filled with confusion and shock: “You are a mayfly?”

Yi Hu followed the voice with her gaze and finally saw Shen Yin’s full appearance clearly.

She was so beautiful!

The book didn’t elaborate much on Shen Yin’s appearance, mainly describing her as solemn and serious, with an eternal icy expression. But standing before her, Yi Hu realized how truly beautiful Shen Yin was. It was a face of unparalleled beauty.

Shen Yin was looking at the wings behind her, her expression slightly lost in thought, which allowed Yi Hu to directly look into those eyes of ultimate beauty. Her dark long hair was tied up, and her skin was crystal white.

The pale green silk skirt was cinched with a light-colored belt around a willowy waist that seemed too slender to hold. The neckline revealed a patch of snow-white skin. A few spots of dried crimson blood on her dress stimulated Yi Hu’s eyes.

Shen Yin didn’t look injured, so the blood on her must naturally belong to Yun Dongyue. In that short amount of time, how badly had she tortured Yun Dongyue to spill so much blood? As expected of the ultimate villain who would kill the protagonist group until only the two female leads remained in the later stages. Her hidden strength was immeasurably deep.

But it was truly strange. She was clearly stained with so much filthy blood, yet her body was fragrant. The fragrance on her seemed to be enchanting, making one want to hug her to smell more.

Startled by this thought, her fear was unconcealable in her eyes. Yi Hu subconsciously backed away, widening the distance between them.

Shen Yin followed her retreat.

She retreated a step, and Shen Yin advanced a step. Finally, she couldn’t move again. Her body was motionless under the immense pressure of Shen Yin’s power. She slightly stiffened. Shen Yin finally reached out and touched her wings as she wished: “How can a mayfly, which is born in the morning and dies in the evening, cultivate into a demon? Did you eat something?”

It takes hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation for a demon to transform into a human form. Most die before their intelligence even awakens. It is an existence cultivated over a long period of time, but a mayfly’s life is only a short day. No matter how knowledgeable Shen Yin was, this was the first time she had seen a mayfly demon.

Yi Hu didn’t know if she counted as a demon. Although she had read this book many times, she was still completely clueless about this world.

Yi Hu slightly tilted her eyes. She clearly saw the hands resting on her wings: pale, white, and soft. Shen Yin wasn’t exerting force. She was just lightly touching the wings. A faint golden light encircled her fingertips. The golden light collided with the blue light and slowly disappeared. Shen Yin seemed to have no intention of harming her. Her gaze was calm, and there was no trace of malice yet.

She seemed to be in the clouds and mist, and her detached gaze conveyed a hint of compassion.

She was a Bodhisattva fairy, and also Yi Hu’s opportunity.

Yi Hu didn’t know where she got the courage, but the moment her body broke free from the restraints, she immediately knelt down. Her knees hit the ground with a thud: “Immortal Master, save me!”
