The Cool and Aloof Immortal Master Has Fallen to the Demonic Path (Transmigration) - Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Yi Hu’s skin gradually became transparent, and one could clearly see half black energy and half green energy flowing through the meridians of her beautiful face.

The woman in purple sneered, a mockery of Yi Hu’s ignorance.

But the next moment, her mockery ceased abruptly.

“Huh?” She found a familiar aura.

The purple light on the woman in purple gradually dissipated. She reached out to Yi Hu’s direction. One of the spiritual essences flew into her hand, landed in her palm, and gradually melted into her body, disappearing.

This spiritual essence felt as familiar to her body as if it were a part of her.

When the woman in purple looked up again, the frost in her eyes was replaced by ferocity and pain.

“Demon, return my daughter!”

The light purple butterfly at the corner of her eye gradually turned blood-red. The butterfly fluttered its wings, seemingly about to come to life the next moment. She waved her long sleeve, and faint purple spiritual powder flew out, heading towards Yi Hu.

Zi Ying quickly stepped forward to block her. As Yin energy surged, the purple spiritual powder was blown away.

“How many years of cultivation do you have, and how many years of cultivation does she have? You use poison right off the bat, yet you shamelessly talk about punishing evil and wickedness. You are no different from an Evil Spirit!”

“She killed my daughter and stole my daughter’s spiritual essence! How can I not kill her? Evil Spirit, I didn’t seek you out, yet you came to me. You will all die today!” Zi Ying didn’t expect the demon in front of her to be even more arrogant than her. She grew increasingly enraged the more she looked, and immediately started fighting with the woman in purple.

Only after engaging did she realize that this woman in purple indeed had some skill, no wonder she was so arrogant.

But trying to kill her with just these skills was a pipe dream.

She only regretted that Jing Shu had planted so many restrictions on her, otherwise she would have devoured every piece of this demon’s flesh and blood to quell her anger, instead of being forced into a draw.

“I don’t have time to fight you!” She was originally a vicious person, but she didn’t expect this woman in purple to be even more ruthless. She actually bypassed her while she wasn’t paying attention, going straight for Yi Hu.

Crap!

With Yi Hu’s defenseless body and no cultivation, a strike from her would at least break bones and sever tendons, if not kill Yi Hu.

Zi Ying didn’t have time to block her. The woman in purple grew even more ferocious, subtly increasing the force in her palm.

Just as she was about to reach Yi Hu, a long sword suddenly flew over, slashing at her outstretched arm. Before she could touch Yi Hu, two of her finger bones had already been severed.

If she hadn’t dodged quickly, she would have lost her entire arm.

The woman in purple clutched her severed fingers, regained her balance, and looked up to see a woman standing in front of Yi Hu.

The woman was covered in blood. Even her hair was dyed red with blood. There were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth, trickling down her snow-white skin one by one. The blood drops released a faint spiritual energy as they fell to the ground.

The woman in purple was stunned for a moment.

The woman’s dress was completely stained with blood, making its original color unrecognizable.

She held a long sword in one hand, the tip of the sword thrust into the ground. In the other hand, she clutched a jade token. The jade token was greenish-blue and emitted a faint blue light. A faint blue line emerged from the jade token, wrapping around her wrist, seemingly sustaining her dying body.

The woman in front of her appeared to have very high cultivation. At her peak, the woman in purple would certainly not be her opponent, but now she seemed to be severely injured.

She still had a chance to win.

Zi Ying clenched her fists. She didn’t even care about her severed fingers. Hatred had clouded her mind. She wanted to kill the little demon protected behind the woman.

Before she could get close, a sharp question suddenly rang in her ear.

“Demon, are you seeking death?”

She was momentarily unprepared, and a long sword was already pressed against her neck. The long sword was faintly glowing with golden light, bringing a searing pain to her neck.

The woman in purple looked sideways, only to see a woman glowing with golden light. Golden light also flashed in her eyes. Her jade-white hand held the long sword pressed against the woman in purple’s neck, her eyes filled with coldness.

In her other hand, she carried a lantern. The lantern emitted a dazzling golden light, and one could vaguely see the golden doll inside.

Beauty, lantern, golden doll… the identity of the woman in front of her was instantly clear.

The woman in purple suddenly laughed loudly, mockery etched deeply on her lips: “When did the world’s number one sect, the Immortal Spirit Sect, whose motto is to save the world and redeem all beings, become a place that helps the wicked and shelters demons?”

Zi Ying was displeased: “Who are you calling a demon?”

“You are an Evil Spirit, and that little demon killed my daughter and stole my daughter’s spiritual essence! You are all demons!”

The golden doll suddenly popped out of the lantern. She opened her mouth and bit Zi Ying’s hand, tearing off a chunk of black energy, though it didn’t fundamentally harm her. She blamed Zi Ying: “It’s all you, all you! Causing Master to be scolded.”

Zi Ying raised her hand, looking at the spot where the golden doll bit her. The torn-off black energy was quickly replenished by more black energy. This golden doll took after its master, having a kind heart.

If she were ruthless enough, she would have torn off a large chunk of Zi Ying’s spiritual body when Zi Ying was unprepared. The Passing Years Lamp naturally countered her.

But what use was a bite that caused no pain?

Zi Ying was somewhat disdainful. She extended her finger and flicked the golden doll on its forehead, sending it flying: “That stupid demon is the one doing the scolding. Just bite her, why are you biting me?”

In the shadows, she was secretly rubbing her fingertips. This golden doll was covered in fire. She wasn’t injured by the bite, but the flick on her forehead was somewhat scorched.

The golden doll rolled in the air and landed beside the woman in purple: “You’re so stupid. Although Zi Ying is an Evil Spirit, half of her is still spiritual consciousness, otherwise, she would have gone mad after you scolded her so many times. That little demon is so weak, it’s difficult for her to even circulate spiritual energy. How could she have killed your daughter?”

“But my daughter’s spiritual essence and my spiritual essence are in her hands! This is all just an excuse for you Immortal Spirit Sect to shelter demons!”

The Passing Years Lamp and Zi Ying were different. Almost all of its masters were Immortal Spirit Sect disciples, and it had a strong spirit of upholding the Immortal Spirit Sect’s honor.

Seeing that the woman in purple was being unreasonable and continued to insult the Immortal Spirit Sect.

She bared her teeth and climbed onto the woman in purple’s shoulder. The flames on her body didn’t damage the woman in purple’s dress, but they burned her skin through the dress. The woman in purple sweated profusely from the pain and heat, yet she didn’t utter a sound. She was unyielding and defiant, which made them look even more like villains.

The golden doll was somewhat frustrated. She jumped down and fell back into the lantern.

“Master, this demon is too stubborn. I can’t reason with her.”

Feng Lingyuan didn’t have the leisure to waste time on the woman in purple. She withdrew her long sword and instructed the golden doll: “Liu Ning, trap her.”

Liu Ning was the name of the golden doll.

Following Feng Lingyuan’s command, flames suddenly burst out of the lantern, transforming into a rope of fire that bound the woman in purple.

Feng Lingyuan quickly stepped forward and walked to Shen Yin’s side: “Senior Sister Shen, are you alright?”

Shen Yin was leaning on her support. Her upright body slumped. Feng Lingyuan quickly held her. Shen Yin rested in her arms, her voice weak: “Ling… Yuan Junior Sister, save Fox.”

Behind them, Yi Hu was still constantly drawing in the Death Energy and spiritual energy emerging from the whirlpool.

Feng Lingyuan and Shen Yin had known each other for a thousand years. Both Jing Shu and Shen Yuehua wanted her and Shen Yin to have a good relationship, but Shen Yin had always disliked her, and she also disliked Shen Yin. She only called her “Senior Sister” because she was willing to adopt Shen Yuehua’s term for her, making it seem as if she and Shen Yuehua were family.

Her address to Shen Yin was not sincere. Shen Yin had never called her “Junior Sister.” She was unwilling to interact with her before, and later, when she became an Elder, she only called her “Elder Feng” when forced to interact.

And now, for the sake of this little demon, she actually called her “Junior Sister.”

“Senior Sister Shen, I will save her.” Feng Lingyuan held her waist. This time, the “Senior Sister” carried more sincerity than usual, and also some pain: “I know you care about her, but Senior Sister Shen, you were too impulsive. How could you use forbidden techniques?”

“I’m, I’m fine.” Shen Yin was stubbornly unwilling to show weakness, but as soon as the words left her mouth, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out: “Pfft!”

Hearing the forbidden technique, Zi Ying finally realized something was wrong.

She had been so focused on competing with the woman in purple that she hadn’t noticed that the ferocious Purple-Eyed Tiger had vanished.

Shen Yin had actually killed the Purple-Eyed Tiger! Although the Purple-Eyed Tiger wouldn’t completely dissipate and could still gather spiritual consciousness as long as the array wasn’t broken, it was still a deity. It was formed from the remains of a divine beast.

The Purple-Eyed Tiger was different from the other three tigers. It was cruel, vicious, and fought relentlessly. This battle must have been fought with all its might.

A fight between human and god, even a fallen god, is still a god.

Although she used a forbidden technique and Shen Yin suffered a backlash from the forbidden technique, she defeated the remains of a deity…

She had somewhat underestimated Shen Yin’s strength.

Seeing Shen Yin spitting blood, Feng Lingyuan was truly anxious. She held Shen Yin with one hand and quickly tried to stop the whirlpool from expanding with the other. But she didn’t understand the situation in front of her. Seeing that the whirlpool was slow to close, she became desperate and struck with heavier force.

She wanted to destroy these spiritual essences.

“Don’t!” The woman in purple became anxious: “I can retrieve them!”

It wasn’t that she was kind or that she had forgiven Yi Hu, but those spiritual essences included the spiritual essences of her daughter and her husband.

These spiritual essences were extremely precious, and it would be a shame to destroy them.

Feng Lingyuan then withdrew the fire rope, giving the woman in purple a chance.

A demon would naturally understand the cultivation method of a demon.

The butterfly at the corner of the woman in purple’s eye flickered. She actually transformed into a purple butterfly, fluttering its wings and flying towards Yi Hu. The barrier that even Zi Ying couldn’t overcome didn’t stop her. She landed smoothly on Yi Hu’s shoulder, flapping her wings, and actually controlled Yi Hu’s hands to form some complex hand seals.

Sure enough, the spiritual essences stopped, and the whirlpool disappeared.

She flew again and paused on a cracked, flower-patterned spiritual essence.

Feng Lingyuan frowned slightly and commanded the Passing Years Lamp: “Liu Ning, bind her again.”

Another fire rope flew towards the woman in purple. She reluctantly transformed into human form, trying to break free from the fire rope, but as she moved, the fire rope would also move. She tightly clutched the flower-patterned spiritual essence in her palm, reluctantly shouting: “I won’t seek revenge! Can’t I just take away my daughter’s and husband’s spiritual essences?”

“I’ll say it again, Yi Hu didn’t kill your daughter.” Feng Lingyuan looked at the woman in purple with a cold face: “Although you helped me, if Senior Sister Shen has any trouble, I don’t care if you’re a good demon or a bad demon, you will accompany her to the grave.”

The woman in purple was unconvinced: “She used a forbidden technique. What does that have to do with me?”

“You tried to kill the demon she protected, so you forced her to use it.”

The woman in purple didn’t understand what Feng Lingyuan said. She had never seen a human cultivator risk her life for a demon.

Since learning that this was an Elder of the Immortal Spirit Sect, she knew that the hope for revenge was slim. And after learning that they had killed the Purple-Eyed Tiger, she understood even more that revenge was hopeless.

She just wanted to take her daughter away, otherwise, her daughter’s soul wouldn’t be able to rest after death.

Feng Lingyuan ignored her. She helped Shen Yin sit down and fed her two elixirs. Only then did she hold Shen Yin with one hand and send out some spiritual energy with the other to examine Yi Hu’s body. Seeing that Yi Hu was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In contrast, Shen Yin’s situation was much worse.

Feng Lingyuan withdrew her gaze and began to transfer some spiritual energy to Shen Yin to heal her injuries.

Suddenly, a sound came.

“Rumble! Rumble!”

The ground beneath their feet gradually collapsed. Their bodies simultaneously sank downwards. As they slowly stabilized, they landed on a pile of soft, broken earth. In the soil were white bone powder and dark red blood.

A glance revealed a world of blood-red. Even the sun hanging in the sky was glowing red, emitting scorching rays of light. From time to time, balls of fire would smash onto the ground. Every inch of land here was cracked, yet every crack contained fresh red blood.

Blood flowed through the dry earth and the cracks, not dissolving into the soil, nor being dried by the sun.

This scorching and bloodthirsty place was the Blood Sea.

The array was broken!

Zi Ying looked at this barren land, actually forgetting to argue with the woman in purple.

This was the place where she had stayed for countless years.

Souls are mostly afraid of light and fire. Even after becoming Evil Spirits and absorbing the malice of heaven and earth, they still fear these natural enemies. But those old monsters who set up the array insisted on placing this fake sun in the array, scorching the souls here every day. She had been constantly fleeing and struggling to survive for a long time.

Only by becoming strong, only by becoming strong, can one resist the scorching sun and flames, and escape this place.

A surge of hatred suddenly arose within her.

She had escaped so hard, yet Shen Yin insisted on bringing her back here.

She wasn’t this resistant when standing outside the array, but upon returning to this nightmarish place, Zi Ying’s malice grew stronger and stronger.

Shen Yin was injured. Anyone with eyes could see that Shen Yin was severely injured, covered in blood.

The Passing Years Lamp was controlling the woman in purple. Feng Lingyuan was healing Shen Yin. If the healing was interrupted, Feng Lingyuan would also suffer a backlash.

This was the Blood Sea, a place she was very familiar with. Escape would be easy.

Shen Yin was the Vessel Body. Mo Tianji had already fed her. Her blood was rich in spiritual energy. If she swallowed her, she could be free, break through the restrictions, and greatly increase her power. When Feng Lingyuan came to look for her again, she would no longer fear her.

This was the best opportunity for her to devour her master!

Zi Ying rushed towards Shen Yin uncontrollably. Before she could get close to Shen Yin, her throat was suddenly gripped by a pair of hands. She looked over. The eyes were pale green, cold and terrifying, concealing murderous intent.

Her voice was hoarse, full of pain, yet frighteningly terrifying: “Don’t touch the Immortal Master!”
