Chapter 24: He Has Completely Turned into a Demon
ââŠâ At this moment, Yu Lingâerâs heart was filled with endless regret. She couldnât understand why Ye Xuan would go to such lengths for her. Yet she realized that this man, this junior brother she once looked down upon, had completely entered her heart. However, this man, who had given everything for her, was endlessly misunderstood by her even.
âJunior Sister Lingâer, I⊠Iâm now crippled, unworthy of you. Donât come to see me again.â
âNo, Senior Brother, what do you take me for, Yu Lingâer? Even if you are physically disabled, Iâve decided to marry you.â
âJunior Sister, youâŠâ At this moment, in the scene, Yu Shou was spouting hypocritical lies to Yu Lingâer. In reality, he understood that the more he spoke like this, the less likely Yu Lingâer would leave him.
Even though he was crippled and blinded by Ye Xuan, after the initial fear, he realized something. Taihua Mountain was the leading righteous sect in the world of cultivators; even if Ye Xuan practiced powerful demonic techniques, it was impossible for him to invade Taihua Mountain again.
So, in Taihua Mountain, he was safe. Therefore, he planned to take revenge on Ye Xuan by taking away the woman he loved most. No, not just take her away â she was meant to be his from the start.
HahahaâŠ
His heart was laughing madly. However, Yu Lingâer only saw his feigned righteousness and was even more determined.
Watching herself in the scene, fooled completely, Yu Lingâer couldnât help feeling anxious. At this moment, she was filled with nothing but regret, understanding all the causes and effects. Yet, everything felt so unfamiliarâŠ
Why was she so foolish back then? Blind to the truth â that was the most accurate description of her past self.
HahaâŠ
When she knew she was to marry Yu Shou, that beast, how heartbroken must Ye Xuan, her junior brother, have been? For her sake, he had already decided to accept punishment and death. But also for her, he chose to flee bearing guilt.
Carrying an injustice he couldnât wash away in this lifetime, he was like a wounded beast expelled from the pack. At his saddest, darkest moment, he heard that her beloved woman was to marry another man. What kind of sorrow was that?
But even so, Ye Xuan shouldnât have led demons to attack the mountain. Did he realize how many innocent people would suffer from such an act? He should have known⊠Or had he been completely controlled by the inner demon?
âShe⊠she has decided to marry Yu ShouâŠâ At this moment, in a small town below Taihua Mountain, Ye Xuan received the news. Although he had fled from Taihua Mountain, he had always been keeping an eye on Yu Lingâerâs situation. He would never allow her to marry someone as vile as Yu Shou.
âYes, your beloved woman is about to marry the person you hate the most. Moreover, Taihua Immortal Gate is even sheltering such a beast. How do you feel? Heartbroken? In pain?â The voice of the inner demon resonated behind Ye Xuan, speaking with a tempting tone: âJust listen to me, and I can help you break through Taihua Mountain, so you can take back the woman you love most.â
âHmphâ!â Hearing this, Ye Xuan snorted coldly, âFine, Iâll gladly accept.â
âJunior Brother⊠you really⊠sighâŠâ Watching this scene, Yu Lingâer sighed. At this point, what right did she have to blame her junior brother? Even if he wronged the whole world, he had been true to her.
If it werenât for her, he wouldnât have had to take such a drastic step. Everything stemmed from her own actions. Even though he led demons to attack Taihua Mountain, causing the deaths of many innocents, she had no right to blame him. How could she criticize him?!!
Although Taihua Mountain was an immortal sect, it did not prohibit marriage. Therefore, while there were not many couples within the sect, they did exist. Since everyone was a cultivator seeking tranquilityâŠ
But as they were all fellow disciples, marriages were not a big deal. Generally, if people were available, they would bring gifts to the wedding. Therefore, todayâs Qingguang Peak was bustling with activity. The eldest senior brother, Yu Shou, was to marry the talented junior sister from Qingyan Peak, Yu Lingâer.
The whole peak was busy with wedding preparations. But no one noticed a figure sneaking into this pure land of immortals.
Yu Shou was secretly gloating at this moment. Although he had been crippled by Ye Xuan and could do nothing, he took pleasure in the fact that he could still disgust Ye Xuan.
âCongratulations, Senior Brother Yu Shou, this is a great joy for you.â Just then, a voice rang in his ears.
He didnât know who was standing before him, only feeling the voice was familiar, so he casually replied, âThank you⊠uhâŠâ
But the next moment, he realized. The voice was Ye Xuanâsâ!!! âHelpâ!!!â Yu Shou was horrified and tried to call for help. But who would have thought that the demonized disciple of Taihua Mountain would infiltrate again?
So, by the time he called for help, Ye Xuan had already unhesitatingly slain him with his sword. âThis time, I wonât give you another chance,â Ye Xuan said coldly after killing Yu Shou. The sudden turn of events shocked everyone present. No one expected such a sceneâŠ
âYou⊠you killed Senior Brother Yu Shouâ!!!â
âWho are you?!!â After the shock, the Taihua disciples quickly reacted. Swordsmen charged forward while spellcasters stepped back to create distance, their hands flickering with spells. In an instant, ice dragons, flames, and various spells were hurled at Ye Xuan. The sword-wielding disciples trapped Ye Xuan, preventing any chance of escape.
âHeh⊠ants daring to block a chariotââ Ye Xuan was unfazed by the spells and restraints closing in on him. As the disciples approached with swords, he waved his hand, and a powerful surge of demonic energy burst forth.
Boomâ!!!
âAhâ!!!â The disciples were sent flying amid screams of pain.
ââŠâ Watching the scene unfold, Yu Lingâer clenched her fists. All this was her doing. Everyone could blame Ye Xuan, but she could not. He had completely turned into a demonâŠ
