The Demon Lord Relied on His Imagination to Get Together with the Protagonist. - Chapter 65

Chapter 65

After the Demon Lord left, many major events occurred in the Xianning Sect.

First, the Emotionless Dao Sect announced its disbandment. A portion of the disciples followed Immortal Master Fuluang, while the rest went to other factions.

Second, Senior Sister Bai Xian of the Emotionless Dao Sect became the apprentice of the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable and was responsible for managing all affairs of the Fu Yun Peak.

Third, the original disciples on duty at the Fu Yun Hall were all driven out by Senior Sister Bai Xian.

The last point was immensely satisfying. Although it looked like Senior Sister Bai Xian was the one driving people away, almost no one spoke ill of her because many people had been slighted by the disciples on duty at the Fu Yun Hall and had been enduring it for a long time.

It was absolutely wonderful that they were now expelled!

When Bai Xian returned to the Emotionless Dao Sect to pack her things, she saw Immortal Master Fuluang also preparing to leave.

Although the other party was no longer her Master, there was a saying in Xianning… A teacher for a day is a Master for life.

Bai Xian naturally went over to help her pack.

Then Immortal Master Fuluang shoved all the spiritual treasures she had saved into her arms.

Bai Xian was a little stunned: “Master, what is this…“

“This is what your Master is leaving for you,” Fuluang stood amidst a pile of miscellaneous items. Although her hair was black, her demeanor was still pristine and refined, and her voice remained calm and gentle. She took out all her cherished items and detailed them one by one to Bai Xian. “This is a high-grade magical pill your Master obtained from inside a demon’s belly during my travels. This one is a set of robes your Master bought for you at the Water Domain Immortal Abode. At the time, everyone said these clothes suited you well… And this, this was snatched by your Junior Brother Letian from an enemy. He kept it and never gave it to you… And…“

These things were genuinely meant for her, as they matched her cultivation level and Dao. Some were things other disciples couldn’t use, and some beautiful items were bought according to her preferences and habits. Emotions surged within Bai Xian, and she couldn’t help but ask aloud:

“Master, but during the time you mentioned, I wasn’t in Xianning at all. I was imprisoned in the Demon Realm’s water dungeon, not knowing when I would get out.” Bai Xian’s eyes felt a little sore. “What’s the point of keeping them for me?“

Fuluang had been listing the items. As she spoke, she fell silent.

After a moment of pause, Fuluang spoke in a very low, sad voice: “It is my fault. Other Masters equip their disciples with all kinds of rare treasures, which not only help them advance their cultivation but also aid them in escaping danger at critical moments. But I was rarely in Xianning, nowhere to be found all year round. Not only did I neglect to discipline you, but I also couldn’t bring you many treasures and artifacts. I am incompetent…“

But if she returned, those disciples who had broken the Emotionless Dao would have nowhere to go. She could only wander the mortal realm… If she didn’t return, she would be neglecting the disciples who stayed in Xianning.

“Your Master always thought that your cultivation was quite high and your character was excellent. Even in my absence, you could handle things alone and even manage the entire Emotionless Dao Sect.” Fuluang was full of apologies. She lowered her head and confessed, “It is my mistake. I have delayed you for so many years and haven’t taught you anything. When I finally have to leave, all I can do is leave you these accumulated things. Master… I am sorry…“

Bai Xian’s throat felt clogged with a piece of ice. She was so uncomfortable that her hands and feet felt cold.

Because she suddenly realized that for so many years, she had been misunderstanding her fellow disciples and her Master. She had always thought that the disciples of the Xianning Sect were relatively heartless and indifferent, and that no one had pleaded for her when she was captured by the Demon Realm…

She had misunderstood everyone.

Within the sect, people still cared about her.

“Master, I’m already happy that everyone cares about me.” Bai Xian gave a bitter smile and finally couldn’t hold back her tears. “I always thought everyone had forgotten about me.“

“When you were captured by the Demon Realm, I brought the entire sect back to Xianning, hoping to meet the Heavenly Venerable and ask him to find a way,” Fuluang looked at her, her eyes speaking of bitterness. “But when we arrived at the Fu Yun Hall, we were told that the Heavenly Venerable wouldn’t see anyone for the next few days. However, when something like this happens, how could the Heavenly Venerable not know? His decision to go into secluded cultivation at that time clearly meant he wanted to handle the matter coldly, didn’t it? Letian suggested that I lead everyone to the Demon Realm to save you. We went, but…”

But their strength was insufficient. As soon as they entered the Demon Realm, they encountered the Ten Demon Generals of the Demon Realm. These generals were ferocious beasts meticulously cultivated by the Demon Race. They couldn’t fend them off and almost died on the spot.

If Siqing Immortal Saint hadn’t happened to pass by and lend a hand, they would probably have perished.

Bai Xian’s heart felt like it was pressed down by a stone, making her breathing difficult. She said: “Master, you haven’t considered one issue could it be that the disciples of the Fu Yun Hall didn’t inform the Heavenly Venerable at all?”

Fuluang frowned: “How could that be?”

Bai Xian was heartbroken: “They would! The disciples on duty at the Fu Yun Hall are all people who shift their allegiance with the wind and neglect their duties! They must have deliberately shown you disrespect and demanded favors because you weren’t often in Xianning!”

Fuluang was completely bewildered. She was indeed rarely in Xianning, so she was unaware of these internal details.

So was it those petty people who caused things to go wrong back then?

Fuluang was furious. She swayed on the spot, almost unable to stand steadily.

“They, they actually… how dare they!” Fuluang was enraged. “It was a matter of life and death, a huge matter of human lives, and they dared to commit such an atrocity just for that small immediate gain!”

Bai Xian was bitter: “Who says otherwise?”

Fuluang was extremely angry: “If it hadn’t been for those petty people causing trouble, your Junior Brother Cen Letian wouldn’t have been left with a lifelong ailment.”

A lifelong ailment?

Bai Xian was startled. She looked around and suddenly realized that Cen Letian didn’t seem to have returned with Immortal Master Fuluang. She asked: “Where did Junior Brother Letian go? What kind of ailment did he contract at the time?”

“Your Master led the disciples to the Demon Realm to save you. At that time, we encountered the Ten Demon Generals. Those ferocious beasts surrounded us, and the leading Ghost Shark Dragon breathed out ghostly flames, which burned your Junior Brother’s leg…” Fuluang said. “He was focused on fighting and couldn’t spare a hand to extinguish the fire. He could only endure the pain and injury. When he returned, he discovered that the ghostly fire had burned a very tricky spot, precisely injuring his ‘Human Dao,’ leaving him impotent for life…”

Bai Xian: “…”

Oh, dear. Junior Brother, I’m sorry.

Fuluang saw her grief and quickly comforted her: “It’s alright, though. Anyway, your Junior Brother cultivates the Emotionless Dao. It’s harmless, harmless…”

Bai Xian was still very remorseful. She hurriedly said: “But, my Junior Brother, wouldn’t he be very sad about this?”

“It truly doesn’t matter. Your Junior Brother will never be sad again,” Fuluang continued to comfort her. “Fortunately, your Junior Brother is already dead now.”

Bai Xian: ???

Fortunately, he is already dead?

Master, do you know what you are saying?

“Oh, right, your Master almost forgot to tell you.” Fuluang felt a bit troubled when she remembered this. She hesitated for a long time and then sighed: “Your Junior Brother Letian has entered reincarnation to atone for his sins. He left a wisp of his split soul with me, and the Demon Lord also kept a copy.”

Bai Xian: “The Demon Lord? That utterly wicked demon?”

Fuluang said: “She is not that bad. At the Crimson Heaven Realm, it was also the Demon Lord who saved our entire sect and spared your Junior Brother’s life.”

Bai Xian: ???

This Demon Lord is so different from what I understood?

Didn’t people say at the time that the Demon Lord did many bad things and even forced Siqing Immortal Saint? How did her reputation suddenly reverse?

Fuluang couldn’t explain clearly in a short time. She simply patted Bai Xian’s shoulder: “Everything has two sides. Observe more, listen more, and you will always discover something different.”

Bai Xian was still utterly confused, but this was the last time her Master would talk to her. She performed a disciple’s salute and humbly said: “The disciple has learned a lesson.”

“The road ahead in the martial world is long. I don’t know if we will meet again,” Fuluang looked deeply at her. “This is the last time your Master will call you a disciple. I have resigned from the position of Immortal Master, and you can now serve at the Fu Yun Hall. This is the best possible outcome. It is just a pity that the Emotionless Dao Sect has delayed you for so many years…”

“No delay, no delay.” Bai Xian rushed forward and hugged her. “Goodbye, Master. I will miss our Emotionless Dao Sect.”

The items were finally all packed. The other disciples willing to follow Fuluang were also ready and waiting for her.

Fuluang sighed heavily and bid farewell to Bai Xian: “Goodbye. Your Master is leaving now.”

The scene of departure always brings tears to the eyes. Bai Xian reluctantly stepped forward and murmured, asking: “Where are you going? Where should I look for you in the future?”

“I don’t know either. Perhaps I will continue to wander the world, without a fixed place to stay,” Fuluang thought for a moment and added: “If you really need to find me, you might find me in the Demon Realm.”

Bai Xian: ???

Wait?

Where?

The Demon Realm?

Her tears flowed halfway, dried up, and then she froze.

Why go to the Demon Realm?

Fuluang sighed: “My immortal body is still with the Demon Lord.”

Bai Xian: ???

What? Immortal body? With the Demon Lord?

Only then did Bai Xian recall that Fuluang’s hair had been black since she returned not long ago. So, the other party didn’t intentionally turn her hair black, but her immortal body was taken, leaving her only in her current form?

But, Immortal Master Fuluang… shouldn’t have a mortal body, should she?

Then whose body is she in now?

Bai Xian looked at her with a bewildered and shocked expression: “Why was your immortal body taken? Does that demon even steal people’s bodies?”

“It’s not like that,” Fuluang shook her head. “I entrusted my belongings to the Demon Lord for safekeeping, and my immortal body is stored within those belongings and cannot be retrieved for the time being.”

It’s so complicated. Bai Xian didn’t know the whole story and naturally couldn’t understand.

She watched her former sect members leave with a look of confusion and astonishment, not knowing what to feel.

So many things in this world are too bizarre.

She had seen it all.

After all, the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable was just as bewildered not long ago.

When they returned, the entire Xianning Sect was busy entertaining the Demon Lord. Everyone’s reputation of the Demon Lord was surprisingly good. Everywhere the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable went, all he heard were praises for the Demon Lord.

Even the few old men who were the most difficult to deal with had no negative comments.

When the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable summoned the great experts to the Fu Yun Hall for questioning, the white-bearded old men all smiled and bowed to the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable: “Heavenly Venerable is wise to have thought of such a brilliant plan.”

At that time, both the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable and Bai Xian were dumbfounded.

Bai Xian heard the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable transmit his voice to her, asking: “What brilliant plan?”

How should Bai Xian know? She forced herself to answer with confusion: “Could it be inviting the Demon Lord as a guest?”

This “brilliant plan” is wise?

Have they gone mad?

They didn’t know where this rumor came from. How did it suddenly become “the Heavenly Venerable invited the Demon Lord to be a guest in Xianning”? Who said it?

Who had the audacity to spread such a rumor?

Even more bizarrely, everyone believed it, and no one raised a dissenting voice.

Bai Xian saw the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable hold his forehead and wave his hand, asking everyone to withdraw. She knew that the Heavenly Venerable was also questioning his life.

Fortunately, another Immortal Saint arrived at the Fu Yun Hall later, finally unraveling the mystery.

It was the Fifth Immortal Saint, Xiuzhu.

Immortal Saint Xiuzhu said that the Demon Lord used despicable means and deceived everyone.

He completely recounted the facts, which astonished the Holy Text Heavenly Venerable. The Heavenly Venerable remained frozen like a statue throughout the narrative.

He was completely distraught.

“The Demon Lord was despicable and played a trick on everyone,” Bai Xian stepped forward and said. “Do we need to clarify this matter?”

Holy Text was somewhat exhausted: “However, she didn’t do anything to harm Xianning. Clarifying it could easily damage the harmony between the two realms. In any case, the Demon Lord doesn’t intend to be an enemy of our Xianning right now, and we don’t need to provoke conflict.”

Bai Xian: “But the Demon Lord was so disrespectful to Siqing Immortal Saint…”

Right, there was also this accusation.

Holy Text had a headache just thinking about that letter. He sent his daughter to her territory, only to have her so severely insulted!

It was too infuriating.

Although he now knew that this might be a misunderstanding, he still felt that the anger in his heart could not be quelled.

No.

Even if Siqing was still willing to follow the Demon Lord, she shouldn’t always be in an inferior position and be insulted by the other party.

In any case, the other half of the Mirage Mirror had also appeared. Siqing’s malevolence had been released, like silk being unreeled from a cocoon. What had happened could no longer be reversed. She couldn’t go back to her initial naive and innocent appearance. It would be better to simply release all the malevolence and thoroughly teach that Shi Zhihua a lesson.

Let that Demon Lord be arrogant again!

Let Siqing insult her back.

Holy Text looked sideways, silently gazing at the other half of the Mirage Mirror in the room. His thoughts became clearer.

The Demon Lord is so arrogant. It’s time to quell her dominance.

His daughter, even if she loved the Demon Lord desperately and was taken away by her, must still be the absolute superior in control of the other party.

Her character used to be simple and easily deceived, which is why she was insulted by the Demon Lord. Now that the malevolence sealed in the Mirage Mirror has been released, she will no longer be naive. Presumably, with her cultivation, she absolutely will not allow the Demon Lord to manipulate her.
