Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 90.2

Demonic energy and spiritual energy are mutually exclusive. If Xie Qingshuang falls into demonhood, her demonic energy will endlessly devour spiritual energy. Once demon cultivators become numerous, the Four Seas are bound to descend into chaos.

Hesitation flashed in Ming Yu’s eyes. Of course, she knew the consequence of falling into demonhood. Xie Qingshuang falling into demonhood could disrupt the Four Seas, which was exactly what she wanted. What a perfect thing.

But…

Ming Yu looked down at the woman’s tense profile. Ultimately, she couldn’t bear to let it happen. Xie Qingshuang could not fall into demonhood. She hated demons to her core. If she became the very demon she detested most, could she still bear to live?

“How do we dispel the heart demon?”

This matter could probably only be done by Lan Shan Jun. There were many unexplained words between her and Xie Qingshuang, and they shared secrets unknown to others.

Back in Zhao Chen’s room, Lan Shan Jun stared blankly at the Heart Guiding Bell in her hand.

Should I do this?

Before shaking the bell, Lan Shan Jun glanced at Cang Wu. In less than a second of eye contact, Cang Wu turned her head away, refusing to look at her.

Looking at the others, their eyes were full of worry and solemnity, especially Ling Guang, whose eyes were red-rimmed and nearly crying.

She probably desperately wanted to ask what was going on tonight, but now was not the time.

“Huaisheng, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you in a moment,” Lan Shan Jun said softly.

Mo Huaisheng held the short flute in her hand. Seeing the sadness in the woman’s eyes, she couldn’t help but want to reach out.

Their eyes met. Mo Huaisheng still stepped forward and hugged Lan Shan Jun, telling her: “We are all here.”

The hug was brief, immediate, and perfectly restrained, showing Mo Huaisheng’s genuine sincerity toward her friend.

Lan Shan Jun was stunned for a moment, then managed a not-too-ugly smile.

The moment the flute sounded, Lan Shan Jun activated the Heart Guiding Bell. As Xiao Jiu had instructed, she let her spiritual consciousness follow the sound of the bell without reservation.

After a moment of drifting, she opened her eyes. In the dark, surrounding space, only a beam of light shone down, falling onto her, and allowing her to see the person before her.

Xie Qingshuang sat cross-legged in a meditative posture. Demonic energy howled around her, threatening to completely engulf her, and black and red demonic runes had begun to emerge on her brow.

“Senior Sister Xie.” Lan Shan Jun sat cross-legged opposite her.

Xie Qingshuang didn’t open her eyes. A hint of mocking laughter played on her lips, sometimes present, sometimes absent: “What gives you the right to call me Senior Sister?”

Lan Shan Jun remained silent, ignoring her comment. “Senior Sister Xie, why are you so certain that Cang Wu will become a demon head?”

Xie Qingshuang suddenly opened her eyes, both dripping with crimson blood: “She was always meant to be.”

“No one is born a demon. It’s even more impossible for Cang Wu, who possesses the Azure Dragon bloodline, to be born a demon,” Lan Shan Jun continued: “I know Senior Sister Xie died because of Cang Wu in the previous life, but that was the Cang Wu of the previous life. The Cang Wu of the previous life was constantly bullied, and the influence of the Evil Sword affected her character. She took the wrong path. But the Cang Wu of this life is different. She will not become a demon head.”

Xie Qingshuang sneered: “It seems you know everything. Then you certainly know about the magical artifact she carries—one that can swallow others’ spiritual power for her own use, and also allow her to learn others’ cultivation methods and heart techniques through it. The demon head’s cultivation advanced greatly in the previous life because of this artifact, causing harm to half of the Four Seas and Eight Realms!”

The magical artifact? Is she talking about the Chaos Map?

Lan Shan Jun subconsciously touched the chain on her finger.

“As long as she devours spiritual power and cultivation methods, the artifact will become a demonic artifact, breeding demonic energy. Cang Wu has already used it to kill Tu Wushuang. The blood mist from the Concealed Blood Art is the evidence!” Xie Qingshuang became emotionally agitated. “She will become a demon head just like in the previous life sooner or later! Eliminating her one day earlier means one less day of danger for the Four Seas!”

Hearing the name Tu Wushuang, Lan Shan Jun’s lips tightened slightly.

After Xie Qingshuang’s angry denunciation, Lan Shan Jun slowly looked up at her: “I killed Tu Wushuang.”

Xie Qingshuang frowned, then her anger intensified: “Lan Shan, why must you take the blame? You can’t bring yourself to strike, you can’t kill people…”

“I killed him!” Lan Shan Jun interrupted her loudly. She raised her hand. The chain slowly transformed into a scroll along her arm and landed on her lap. “The magical artifact you speak of is the Chaos Map. Master gave this to me. I killed Tu Wushuang using the Chaos Map.”

After saying it all in one breath, Lan Shan Jun suddenly felt lighter. The heaviness that had weighed on her heart for many days completely vanished.

Yes, she killed someone.

Xie Qingshuang was still somewhat unconvinced, but then Lan Shan Jun directly extracted the memory of that day for her to see.

The pain of forcefully extracting a memory was comparable to tearing apart the soul, but only this way could Xie Qingshuang be convinced.

Scene after scene flashed by, and it was indeed as Lan Shan Jun had said: she was the one who killed Tu Wushuang.

“Then do you know that above the Endless River, when Cang Wu confronted the entire Liu Family, she used the devouring ability of the Chaos Map to absorb all the vitality from the nearby living beings? She can also use the Chaos Map, and she is more familiar with its usage than you are,” Xie Qingshuang did not miss the momentary blankness in Lan Shan Jun’s eyes. She continued: “Otherwise, why was it you who killed Tu Wushuang, but her Concealed Blood Art is on Cang Wu’s body? Can this still not prove her demonic nature?”

Lan Shan Jun, however, burst into laughter. Xie Qingshuang was confused by her laughter and couldn’t help but ask: “What are you laughing at?”

Lan Shan Jun stopped. She also asked: “Senior Sister Xie, you firmly believe Cang Wu has a demonic nature and want to kill her to prevent disaster in the Four Seas. Then what about Ming Yu? You’ve been following her this life, you know the things she’s done, don’t you? Shouldn’t you have figured out the things you didn’t know in the previous life this time? Has Ming Yu done less evil? Why don’t you kill her preemptively?”

Xie Qingshuang frowned tightly and whispered: “With me here, she won’t do those things this time.”

“Ha! With you here, can’t I also say that with me by Cang Wu’s side, she won’t do those things this time either?” Lan Shan Jun stated forcefully: “Since Senior Sister Xie can be more lenient toward Ming Yu, why are you so fixated on Cang Wu? When it comes to killing and causing chaos in the Four Seas, they are both the same! No one is nobler than the other; both have human lives and demon blood on their hands.”

“Cang Wu was forced into demonhood, but what about Ming Yu? She knows what she’s doing, yet she still chooses to do it. Ha ha, a demon head who kills is chased and cursed and killed, but someone who is not a demon who kills is protected. What kind of logic is that?”

“You were reborn into this life. Can’t you feel that the Cang Wu of this life has already changed? Has she done anything outrageous? Has she colluded with the sea monster to deal with Immortal That Never Envies and the City That Never Sleeps? Has she stolen the Vermilion Bird Blade!?”

“Senior Sister Xie keeps talking about ‘demonic nature,’ but never mentions the person next to her. They say the Path of Ruthlessness must be impartial and unfavoring. Senior Sister Xie’s Dao heart is clearly biased.”

“If Senior Sister Xie insists on eliminating a demon, the first person you should strike is Ming Yu!”

Lan Shan Jun firmly relied on the fact that Xie Qingshuang would not strike Ming Yu. Since she couldn’t bear to deal with Ming Yu, then she shouldn’t think about pointing her sword at Cang Wu under the guise of “eliminating a demon.”

Lan Shan Jun waited for Xie Qingshuang’s reply, but unexpectedly, she sat there very quietly, the violence in her eyes subsiding somewhat.

Lan Shan Jun: “?”

Amidst the overflowing demonic energy, a thread of immortal energy forcefully squeezed out, then surged forward, completely enveloping the demonic energy and thoroughly suppressing it.

Xie Qingshuang closed her eyes and then opened them. The darkness around her was gone. The two of them were now sitting cross-legged on a clear, clean water surface.

Lan Shan Jun’s emotions hadn’t calmed down yet, but Xie Qingshuang had already broken free of her heart demon.

“?”

She still had some things she hadn’t said.

Xie Qingshuang closed her eyes and opened them again, her gaze completely clear. She stood up and bowed solemnly to Lan Shan Jun.

“I was stubborn. All along, I knew that this life is different from the previous one. Many things are uncontrollable and will not develop as they did in the previous life. Just like how you protected Huanhuan, preventing her from dying young, I knew the outcome could change, but I never applied this idea to Cang Wu. My Dao heart has been skewed since my death in the previous life. Thank you, Lan Shan, for pointing this out today.”

Lan Shan Jun looked at her in silence.

What did she point out? She only mentioned Ming Yu a few times.

Is this the bond between the two female leads?

“Senior Sister Xie, are you alright?” Lan Shan Jun asked cautiously.

Xie Qingshuang looked at her and said solemnly: “I hope Lan Shan will not spread the word about the Chaos Map, nor hand it over to Cang Wu. If one day she still steps onto the path of demons, I will not show mercy.”

Lan Shan Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

Her consciousness slowly detached. Her vision blurred.

Just as Lan Shan Jun’s spiritual consciousness stabilized, a voice faintly reached her ear:

“It turns out I took the wrong path, and wasn’t born to die.”
