"Hey, little kid, you are not possessed by the devil? You have realized the truth? You have found a new sword move? Such a strong killing intention... You are actually following the sword of killing?"

At this moment, Xiao Guan discovered this and was so shocked that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He suddenly felt that he was lucky to have been able to survive until now under the hands of someone who practiced the way of the killing sword!

The next moment, Xue Qingyi suddenly fell to the ground from mid-air.

She leaned on the sword with one hand and breathed weakly.

She unexpectedly figured out the second move of the Heart Demon Slash so suddenly!

But she didn't expect that although this sword move was extremely powerful, it would also consume an astonishing amount of energy from herself!

Now, she was almost completely exhausted and couldn't use any moves!

"Qingyi, have you had enough of making trouble? Come back with me!"

At this time, Shangluo obviously also realized this, and immediately went forward to hold her.

"I will take you to find the Human Emperor to get the Chaos Cauldron. After that, we will leave through the palace's teleportation array. When we return to the sect, I will refine a top-grade recovery pill for you to help you repair your damaged spiritual roots. How about it?" He coaxed her.

"Then I ask you to dig out the spiritual roots that I have repaired and present them to Su Youyao? No, I should say, present them to the reincarnation of your beloved senior sister." Xue Qingyi smiled bitterly.

"Qing, Yi! I said, come back with me!"

Shangluo realized something and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

As he spoke, he immediately cast a spell, trapping Xue Qingyi inside, intending to take her away by force.

But the next moment.

A figure suddenly flew over and hugged Xue Qingyi's waist, carrying her directly through the spell, and stood in mid-air in an instant.

"Sorry, I will take Qingyi away." Prince Qi said lightly.

Shangluo watched Xue Qingyi in the arms of another man. The two figures turned into a stream of light and disappeared quickly.

After a long time, the most profound memory of this scene in his mind was the hateful look she gave him before she disappeared, and the cold voice she said to him: "Shangluo, I hate you."

Xue Qingyi was brought by Prince Qi to an inconspicuous small house in the capital and settled down there.

"Why do you know so much?"

As soon as she landed, she immediately looked at King Qi and asked, "What is your relationship with the eldest sister? Who are you?"

Fortunately, Prince Qi did not intend to hide it from her.

After giving her a pill to restore her vitality, he did not answer her question immediately, but instead asked, "Do you know how demons and ghosts appear in this world?"

"I have heard that demons and ghosts were not originally created by nature. Instead, they were formed when a great demon died with too much resentment and its soul attached to its corpse and refused to disperse. It eventually devoured the souls of countless other cultivators and demons."

As Xue Qingyi spoke, her restless heart gradually calmed down. "The demon ghosts are very powerful. They not only possess all the magic spells of the great demons and an indestructible body, but also the secret magic spells of the ghosts. Their unique cultivation techniques have attracted many great demons who are about to die to imitate them and cultivate themselves into demon ghosts. Later, demon ghosts gradually became powerful and became a special existence."

At this point, her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Prince Qi, "Could it be that this is how you became a demon?

"But I remember that a long time ago, ever since the demons and ghosts discovered the existence of the spiritual world that was most suitable for their survival, they moved their entire clan to the spiritual world and have been breeding here ever since. They no longer need to follow the path of their predecessors and take risks to deliberately cultivate themselves into demons and ghosts."

"You are right."

At this time, King Qi nodded and said, "But I may indeed be one of the few people in the world who has used the method of the predecessors to cultivate himself into a demon."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qingyi realized that this was a very long story and immediately pretended to listen attentively.

I only heard him say in a low voice:

“My name is Yuanhe. I was originally the son of the previous demon king. Later, something unexpected happened in my clan and a traitor emerged. My father and mother both died in the battle. Although I escaped at that time, a hundred years later, I fought a great battle with my enemy and died together.

"After death, I still felt unwilling to accept it. I felt that the world was unfair. My parents did nothing wrong, but they died because of the betrayal of a villain. It was only natural for me to avenge my parents. Why should I die? What's more, I really haven't lived enough.

"It was with this unwillingness that my soul did not dissipate after my death. Instead, it attached itself to my corpse and continued to devour other souls. Your senior sister was one of the ones I devoured."

Having said this, Yuanhe paused slightly.

He turned to look at Xue Qingyi, as if waiting for her to say something.

Xue Qingyi was indeed surprised by this.

But I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

"My senior sister's reincarnated body has been possessed by someone else." After a long while, she said this with certainty.

"good."

Yuan He nodded, "What I encountered at that time was the remaining soul of your senior sister after she was reincarnated and possessed by another body.

“It was during the process of devouring your senior sister’s soul that I read her memories of her two lives. Before she was reincarnated, she already knew that she would die to protect the cultivation world. She also knew that you would be found by Shang Luo and raised in the sect as her substitute.

"It's just that she practiced the ruthless way, and her mind became more and more indifferent. She believed that the ruthless way was the 'way of heaven'. She felt that everyone had their own destiny, and the future that had been predicted was the will of heaven and could not be changed. So even though she knew all this, she never thought of changing anything. She neither avoided her own death nor actively persuaded others to let you go.

"But after she met you once, she finally developed a little sympathy for you, so she left a Danshu Talisman to seal in your consciousness, hoping to save your life at the critical moment."

At this point, Xue Qingyi finally confirmed one thing.

In her previous life, no one had ever treated her sincerely and well.

Even the senior sister whom she once thought had saved her life.

She once thought that even if she was used as a substitute for the Senior Sister, the Senior Sister was innocent because she didn't know that she would be treated like this by the people of the sect.

Now, she realized once again how wrong she was.

Fortunately, this is nothing to her.

She had experienced the most brutal and ruthless blows, so at this moment her state of mind was surprisingly calm.

"Thank you for telling me this. From now on, I have no hesitation in my desire for revenge." At this time, Xue Qingyi looked at the abyss and said calmly, "But I don't understand what your purpose is. I think that someone like you should not be kind for no reason, right?"

Yuanhe was slightly stunned when he heard this.

She seemed surprised that after learning such a cruel and ruthless truth, she didn't shed a single tear.

But soon, he said: “Of course there is a purpose.

"I want to know if you were the one who appeared and stole the Daoist ancestor's teaching painting that disappeared from the forbidden land of the spiritual world."

For a moment, Xue Qingyi wanted to admit it honestly.

But after experiencing so much backstabbing, she seems unable to be an honest person anymore.

Even to the person who had just saved her, she could no longer be so naive and trust him.

After all, she really couldn't predict whether this powerful demon would simply kill her and take the treasure if she honestly admitted it.

So, she quickly said decisively without blinking, "No, if you don't believe me, I can swear an oath to my inner demon that the Daozu Lecture Picture you mentioned was definitely not stolen by me."

She wasn't lying.

After all, the mural originally broke away from the wall by itself and dragged her into it.

So, how can this be called "stealing"?

Strictly speaking, she was forcibly abducted by the Taoist teaching map!
