Hearing this, Jun Tan didn't know whether to feel fortunate or sad. As Jun Tan, she had heard the answer that Bai Yao most wanted to hear.

After a moment, Jun Tan said softly, "Master...it's me, Yao'er..."

Xiao Yuhan was taken aback, turning around in disbelief, "You..."

But gradually, Xiao Yuhan's expression became very complicated, mostly filled with suspicion. He stared at the woman in front of him, whose appearance had changed drastically. She was more mature than Bai Yao and seemed to be older. He couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.

When she called out "Master," Xiao Yuhan was certain that it was Bai Yao.

"Master, you have lost your memory. If I said that the person you were during the time you lost your memory was not you, would you deny it?"

"Yes! Even without my memories, I am still me. At least when I make choices, I will act on instinct, or rather, on my nature."

"The moment I awoke from the chaos, it was as if I had lost all my memories as Jun Tan. Bai Yao and I have always been the same person. Her soul was born from my soul. It's just that I couldn't wake up during that period. Not long ago... it was just a question of who would control the body between us. But now it's different. She has merged into my life. Think of it this way: I am her, and she is me. It's just that in how we deal with many problems, we influence each other and become neither like Jun Tan nor like Bai Yao. So... Master, do you still think that I killed Bai Yao?"

Xiao Yuhan remained silent. Although he was somewhat skeptical, Jun Tan's eyes did not lie. If she was not Bai Yao, then who was she?

Will you leave?

Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No."

"Will you marry me?"

Xiao Yuhan hesitated.

"Say something... Master..."

Xiao Yuhan shook his head, then got up and walked out of the main hall. But as he reached the door, he said, "Yao'er, I will not leave you. If I could, I would like to take you away, but the marriage is not possible now. While I still have the power of Yu Hui, I will do what needs to be done. After I have finished everything, I will come back to find you. I will be back within half a month, before the wedding. By then, I will never leave again!"

Xiao Yuhan left alone, recalling the scene of parting with Yu Hui.

In that outer heaven, Xiao Yuhan witnessed a miracle for the first time. He finally understood that Yu Hui had not lied. If the system could not be destroyed, all of this would eventually perish.

Fortunately, the system has disappeared, and Yu Hui has also disappeared. He has mastered the power left behind by Yu Hui, most of it.

By catalyzing the two wondrous flowers within her body, she brought her primordial spirit to near perfection. In fact, even though Xiao Yuhan had regained her memories, everything about the Xiao Yuhan of the past within her body had become so bland.

Just like his relationship with his fellow disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was no longer because of Xiao Yuhan's past existence, but rather because of the memories and bits and pieces left over from the years after he came to this world.

Xiao Yuhan didn't know if he could ever return to the Heavenly Sword Sect like before, but now he had to finish what he needed to do, and some things that Yu Hui had entrusted to him.

Stepping out of the palace, Xiao Yuhan's aura changed. He felt an unprecedentedly powerful force reviving within him, a gift from Yu Hui to protect Bai Yao.

With a thought, he summoned his immortal sword, which transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

In less than half a day, he arrived in Xiliang. Looking at the scene of the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall, he casually waved his hand, and the great array that had been repaired began to change, becoming more and more mysterious and exquisite. It wasn't until he finished and left that the elders on the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall discovered that the great array of the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall had become more powerful than before.

The next second, Xiao Yuhan followed a trace of aura and arrived at a snow mountain deep in the Kunlun Mountains. This place was far away from the Kunlun Immortal Sect. He saw a swordsman guarding a woman in red.

That was Wen Xiao, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, and Dan Zhu, a demon king whose name I had only heard of but whom I had never met before.

Danzhu was on the verge of death, seemingly having been severely injured by someone.

Wen Xiao was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Yuhan arrive.

"I originally thought it would be Liu Jiantang who came to see me, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Xiao Yuhan remained expressionless and said coldly, "I'll take care of what needs to be done."

"Actually, even if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have survived."

Xiao Yuhan looked at the heavily injured Danzhu and asked, "What happened to her? Apart from Jun Tan and me, I doubt anyone in this world could have injured her like this when both of you were present."

Wen Xiao gave a bitter laugh. "I did it. I personally beat this woman who had liked me for many years—no… this demon—to a severe injury. Now, I'm accompanying her to her last moment."

Xiao Yuhan was somewhat surprised, "Why would you do that?"

“I am human, the sect leader of Kunlun Immortal Sect. I should not become a demon disciple, nor should I kill my best brother. I should not even fall in love with a demon. It would be a disservice to my deceased wife.”

"So you killed this woman who liked you?" Xiao Yuhan continued to press.

“She is a demon, boy. You don’t understand. Humans and demons cannot coexist. This is the last thing I will do for the human race.”

"You dare to challenge me? My senior brother died at your hands, and you must pay for that life!"

"Xiao Yuhan, I would rather die at Liu Jiantang's hands than be you."

Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment, as if she understood something. "By the way, Yu Hui said you are a swordsman who wants to find a truly worthy enemy. Am I not qualified yet?"
