What's this?

To sacrifice oneself for righteousness?

He wanted to hand her over, and even said he would stay with her!

Even though Xiang Wan had considered the worst possible outcome, she still didn't expect Feng Jiutian to make such a choice!

He thought that pushing her out and staying with her was the best thing he could do for her!

He thought that the pain she was about to experience would be relieved by his presence!

Feng Jiutian, his love is so cheap!

If she wants to live, then let all those who wanted her to die die too. Once they're all dead, the world can be at peace!

"Master, you are not worthy!"

Xiang Wan suddenly retreated, her whole body engulfed in purple flames, leaving no grass growing within a ten-meter radius.

"Feng Jiutian, you said you would protect all living beings and safeguard this land. What are living beings? Are they just these cultivators who constantly shout for battle? You always say that the demons are murderous, evil, and treat human life like dirt, but in my eyes, what difference is there between them and the demons? What is the righteous path? It is that what you believe should exist should exist, and what you believe should not exist should be erased. What is the Heavenly Dao? It allows gods and demons to coexist; existence has its reasons, and existence necessitates slaughter. I was merely born of heaven and earth, without biological parents. The Heavenly Dao allowed me to live, so why do you want me to die?"

"If killing is destined for this world, and only killing can bring peace, why aren't you the ones who die? Without you hypocritical scoundrels, there would be no distinction between good and evil, no more conflict between gods and demons. A thousand years from now, who will still call me a witch?"

"Guanqi, do you think I don't know what your Soundwave Palace is planning? Isn't it just that you've got your eye on my physique and want to forcibly extract the spiritual power from my body to greatly increase your strength so you can unify the God and Demon Continent? Hahaha, let me tell you, you're dreaming!"

"Feng Jiutian, I helped you improve your cultivation and escape your predicament, and this is how you repay me?"

"If someone like me is a witch, then since I am a demon, there can be no gods in the world. Since I am a demon, there can be no righteous path in the world. As long as I live, I will let you see with your own eyes that even without the righteous path, this world will still function normally."

"And you too," Xiang Wan's gaze swept over those she had rescued, "If you dare to make a move, I will not kill you, but Heaven will punish you."

"Witch, cease your arrogance!"

"If you want to kill us, you don't even know your own limitations."

"Miss Ziyan, I'm so sorry!"

The official flag, which was closest, made the first move, attempting to stab Xiang Wan again with the Peeping Mirror.

If Xiang Wan hadn't done it on purpose, how could Guan Qi have gotten close to her?

"Purple Flame, activate!"

Before those various weapons could get close, Xiang Wan activated the purple flames that she had stored in their bodies beforehand, using their spiritual power as fuel and their flesh and blood as containers, and they burned wildly.

Of course, this excludes the hidden demons.

"Ziyan, don't do anything you'll regret!"

Feng Jiutian's soft sword was broken, and the backlash had not yet subsided, so he could not immediately muster the spiritual power to stop Xiang Wan.

Xiang Wan didn't harm him. His body was already imbued with Xiang Wan's essence; there was no need for any further action. If she so desired, he would be burned to death.

This is the heaven-defying physique the system spoke of!

If it weren't for this benefit, Xiang Wan would have quit long ago.

In front of these high-ranking people, if she wanted to complete the mission, it would probably take her thousands or tens of thousands of years to destroy this place, let alone interrogate Feng Jiutian about the original owner's past life, which is a very difficult task.

With something on her mind, how could she stay in a mission world for so long?

"Feng Jiutian, they wanted to kill me, and you let them do as they pleased. I need to protect myself, yet you try to stop them. What kind of logic is that? Let me tell you, in this world, if no one protects me, I will protect myself. Those who kill me and humiliate me, I will repay them in kind. It is only natural. The reason your master, Immortal Kan Yun, was able to become an immortal is because he never meddles in other people's business!"

After speaking, Xiang Wan's eyes shone brightly, and the cries of agony around her grew even more piercing. They were in so much pain that they couldn't straighten up, and they had no strength left to use weapons to attack her.

The official flag could still block the attack of the Purple Flame with the Mirror of Peeping. But so what? Once the Purple Flame burned away the spiritual power of those people, it would return to Xiang Wan and become nourishment for her, greatly increasing her strength once again.

"Witch, I have notified the sect. Today, you will not leave here alive!"

Guan Qi began to make threatening remarks, while Xiang Wan remained noncommittal.

If the younger one gets beaten up, the older one will come along. Isn't that a normal thing?

When it comes to killing, Xiang Wan still has principles.

I will not attack unless attacked. If attacked, I will surely die!

The fire continued, and the commotion drew the attention of the other peak masters of the Yijing Sect. Seeing that Wu Qin was unharmed, they all gathered behind him.

Wu Tan is a man who is adept at changing his stance depending on the wind. He hadn't made a move before, so Xiang Wan hadn't targeted him. But with so many people in trouble at Yijing Sect, he wouldn't stand idly by.

"Zi Yan, spare their lives, and you will still be a disciple of my Yijing Sect."

Wu Qin took the initiative to plead for him in the evening, which made the other peak leaders look rather awkward.

"Wu Qin, don't you think it's a bit late to say this now? Do you think I don't know what you're up to? If it weren't for Feng Jiutian, none of the people from the Yijing Sect would have escaped!"

"How dare you spout such nonsense! Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and slay you, you fiend!"

Several peak masters joined forces, intending to kill Xiang Wan.

Unexpectedly, their attack was completely blocked by Feng Jiutian.

That was a full-force attack! Feng Jiutian blocked it with his own flesh and blood, and when he landed, he was barely clinging to life.

Xiang Wan waved her hand, setting up a purple flame barrier around Feng Jiutian to prevent these people from taking him away.

"Witch, what exactly do you want to do?"

Wu Qin was somewhat furious. That was Kan Yun Xianren's disciple. No matter what, he couldn't let anything happen to him, otherwise, he, as the sect leader, wouldn't be able to explain to the immortal.

"Heh, what am I to do, or what are you to do? You just want my life, don't you? The battle of the Demon Abyss will begin in ten days. If you don't come, don't blame me for not giving you the chance!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiang Wan and Feng Jiutian vanished from the spot. Then, the purple flames gradually weakened and disappeared underground.

Despite uttering those harsh words, Xiang Wan ultimately refrained from delivering the final blow. Those who had been burned by the purple flames were left barely alive, their spiritual power completely depleted.

Deep down, she believed in karma and reincarnation. She figured retribution would come eventually, so why bother dirtying her own hands?

Qiaoyin felt a pang of regret. She shouldn't have come to the First Realm Sect seeking benefits. Now, she hadn't gained anything, but had instead lost her cultivation. Who knew when she would be able to recover to her peak condition? However, losing her cultivation was better than losing her life; at least she wouldn't have the strength to participate in the duel ten days from now.

The reason Qiaoyin survived to this day and became an elder of the Puppet Sect was partly due to luck, but mostly due to her own choices. Therefore, it was predictable that she would survive to the end.

After Xiang Wan and Feng Jiutian disappeared, the Divine Demon Continent was in complete uproar.
