Chapter 88 The Truth - Readers with low tolerance for psychological stress should proceed with caution!
"It was probably a few hundred years ago," Shao Yu began to recall to himself. "The demon race broke through a small crack in the seal. Although they couldn't let me out directly, it wasn't a problem to split off a wisp of my soul to go out. The Holy Maiden Yuewu and the Left Protector Wuxiang were also with me. However, during the process of going out, the three of us were separated due to spatial turbulence. Yuewu has been missing for hundreds of years."
At this point, Shao Yu's expression twisted slightly, "I only found out recently that she actually went to play house, all that bullshit about older and younger sisters."
"As for me..." Shao Yu's eerie face revealed a pleased expression, "Isn't it a coincidence? I just happened to be swept by spatial turbulence to the secluded place of a couple."
Yin Lisheng's pupils dilated in shock. No...no, it shouldn't be what he thinks.
"I smelled something I dislike on that woman. She's from the Yin family. Isn't this a perfect opportunity that heaven has given me?"
"Stop talking! Stop talking!" Yin Lisheng struggled violently.
“That woman is incredibly weak, and without the Suppressing Bell, the seal cannot be broken. But I have come up with a brilliant idea,” Shao Yu said, his eyes brimming with excitement. “The demon race has a secret method that uses bloodline as a guide to possess a descendant with the same bloodline.”
"I can have that woman bear my child!" Shao Yu said excitedly. "When that child grows up, I will possess it. At that time, I can obtain the Zhenjie Bell and personally open the seal to let the demon realm be born. My demon race will surely crush the Qingyuan Sect and unify the continent!"
"Hahahahahahahaha—"
Shao Yu began to laugh maniacally, while Yin Lisheng felt as if his blood had frozen, and he trembled with cold.
However, Shao Yu had no intention of letting him off the hook and continued to deliver the finishing blows:
“I conjured up a body for Yin Lanyuan to help me bear children. You didn’t know that, did you? At the time, her husband was tied up and watching.”
"Even with the rope rubbing into his wrists, he still wouldn't give up struggling. His pitiful screams really excited me."
"That man's name was Ji Yuanqing, right? He was as weak as an ant. Even a wisp of my soul could easily crush him. He was so affectionate, even in his dying moments he was still calling out Yin Lanyuan's name."
Shao Yu stepped back and carefully examined Yin Lisheng from head to toe. "It proves that my bloodline is superior, which is why such a perfect body can be created."
"Aaaaaaah, you beast! I'm going to kill you!"
Shao Yu ignored Yin Lisheng's reaction. He had clearly flattered himself and continued, "Actually, I wanted to possess someone's body hundreds of years ago, but no one had ever tried this method before."
"Just then, the Left Protector Wuxiang contacted me, and I learned about Yanji's affairs from him. Isn't this just like someone bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy?"
"Yan Ji adapted well to Yan Nanqiu's body, so I began my plan. But that woman Yin Lanyuan was useless; she only gave birth to you a few years ago."
"Decades ago, the Left Protector had some trouble, and I had to make a trip there myself. It was also a good opportunity for Yin Lanyuan to contact the Yin family and send you back. What a pity..." Shao Yu sighed.
Shao Yu's words were like poisoned ice picks, piercing Yin Lisheng's heart and completely freezing and crushing the last bit of hope in his soul.
So that's how it is... So that's how it is.
He was not the fruit of Yin Lanyuan and Ji Yuanqing's love, nor was he a child born with the hopes of his parents. He was merely a vessel carefully cultivated by a monster for possession, a tool for the Demon Emperor Shaoyu to escape.
The blood of monsters flowed in his veins; his birth was intertwined with the tragic death of Ji Yuanqing and the humiliation of Yin Lanyuan. No wonder… no wonder Yin Tianhe's feelings for him were so complex; no wonder the Yin family imprisoned him in that small courtyard; no wonder… wait!
Yin Lisheng suddenly looked up and questioned, "Did you do the things that happened to the Yin family?"
“Of course,” Shao Yu said matter-of-factly. “I remember you met Yu Lingzi in Youxu before, right? He’s Chi Du’s junior brother. He thought he was killed by Chi Du because he was possessed by a demon, but that’s not the case.”
“Yu Lingzi has a sword bone on his body that contains the power of the laws of heaven and earth. I cut out this bone and made it into a magic weapon called the Heaven-Covering Shield. Its function is to suppress the cultivation of all human cultivators within its range by three major realms. In this way, destroying the Yin family will be a piece of cake.”
How ridiculous, how ironic!
Yin Lisheng has been striving to become stronger, wanting to uncover the truth about the Yin family, avenge his parents, and stand upright beside his master... but it turns out that he himself is part of the "truth," a product of sin, and a pawn planted by his enemies.
nausea……
An overwhelming feeling of nausea surged up from his stomach, almost suffocating Yin Lisheng. Accompanying the nausea was an overwhelming sense of self-loathing and disgust.
He hated this body with monstrous blood flowing through it, hated this life that had been manipulated, hated himself... that he had even once been complacent about this "perfect" body.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
The chains vibrated violently, groaning under the strain. Yin Lisheng's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging in his neck, and a desperate roar like that of a trapped beast escaped his throat. He struggled desperately, oblivious to the fact that his spiritual energy was being devoured by the "Spirit Binding Chains," and that his skin was torn and blood was trickling down the chains.
He just wanted to destroy everything. Destroy this filthy body, destroy this damned cage, destroy the demon before him.
"Don't waste your energy, little guy." Shao Yu enjoyed watching Yin Lisheng's pained and contorted expression, as if he were watching a wonderful drama, with a cruel pleasure gleaming in his eyes.
"Be angry, hate, despair... The more intense your emotions, the clearer the fluctuations of your soul, and the higher the degree of harmony with my divine soul."
He patted Yin Lisheng's head. "Alright, considering that you're at least related to me by blood, I'll let you die knowing the truth. Now, you can give me your body."
Meanwhile, in another completely different space within the "City of Ten Thousand Demons".
This was no longer a narrow corridor or an eerie hall, but an endless wasteland shrouded in thick, grayish-white fog. The fog was viscous and heavy, not only obscuring sight and consciousness, but also possessing a strange property that could dissolve spiritual energy.
Fu Yunshu stood in the mist, his white robes still spotless, his spiritual energy flowing around him, keeping the mist at bay. His expression was calm, but his sharp gaze swept over his surroundings.
This maze was more troublesome than expected. Not only were the directions difficult to discern and the space chaotic, but it was also constantly draining his spiritual energy. Fu Yunshu could sense that Yin Lisheng and Gu Zhinan's auras had been completely severed, as if they were in different worlds.
We must get out as soon as possible.
Just as he was concentrating on sensing, the fog in front of him suddenly surged violently, parted to the sides, and revealed a passage.
A figure slowly walked out from the depths of the passage.
The man was dressed in a low-key dark purple brocade robe. He was tall and had a refined appearance, looking like a pampered and distinguished scholar. He had a gentle smile on his face, calm eyes, and a restrained aura. If he hadn't appeared in this strange Demon Emperor's labyrinth, anyone who saw him would have mistaken him for a scholar from the mortal world.
However, the moment Fu Yunshu saw who it was, his pupils contracted slightly.
"Patriarch Xie?" Fu Yunshu's voice carried a hint of coldness that was barely perceptible.
The newcomer was none other than Xie Chi, the current head of the Xie family in the Eastern Territory. He was a family leader with an excellent reputation in the cultivation world, known for his smooth dealings and good relationships with various sects.
Xie Chi stopped a few feet in front of Fu Yunshu, cupped his hands in a salute, and smiled gently: "Immortal Venerable Huaiwei."
Fu Yunshu did not return the greeting, but simply looked at him quietly: "Why is Patriarch Xie here?"
"Why are you here?" Xie Chi chuckled and shook his head. "Why does the Immortal Venerable ask such a question when he already knows the answer? Since you can recognize me, you must have guessed my identity."
The gentle smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a deep indifference that starkly contrasted with his refined appearance. He raised his hand, and a wisp of dark purple demonic power, filled with an ominous and devouring aura, slowly rose from his fingertips.
"Let me reintroduce myself," Xie Chi, or rather, the Left Protector of the Demon Clan—Wu Xiang, said slowly, "I am Wu Xiang, the Left Protector under His Majesty the Demon Emperor. By His Majesty's orders, I am here to await the arrival of the Immortal Venerable."
It really was him!
The Xie family has kept an extremely low profile over the years, always maintaining neutrality in everything they do. This has led Fu Yunshu to overlook the fact that they are involved in almost every major event.
“What a clever trick to cover your tracks.” Fu Yunshu’s tone was calm, revealing no emotion. “Patriarch Xie… no, Protector Wuxiang, you’ve really hidden yourself well.”
"You flatter me." Wuxiang smiled slightly. "It's just that Your Majesty's plan is far-reaching. The human race has occupied this rich land for too long, and corruption has long since taken hold of it. Infiltrating them is easier than you might imagine."
He sized up Fu Yunshu, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, but more so a calculating glint in them: "The Immortal Venerable's strength is extraordinary, far surpassing that self-righteous girl Yuewu. His Majesty once said that if one encounters the Immortal Venerable, one should treat him with courtesy. As long as the Immortal Venerable is willing to stop here and no longer interfere in His Majesty's affairs, my demon race is willing to live in harmony with the Immortal Venerable, and even the Qingyuan Sect. In fact... sharing the prosperity of this continent in the future is not impossible."
"Share?" Fu Yunshu's lips curled into a cold smile. "Given the deep-seated hatred between our Qingyuan Sect and the demon race, do you think I'd believe that?"
The smile on Wuxiang's face vanished completely, and his eyes turned cold: "The law of the jungle prevails. Humanity once joined forces with the demons to suppress our race, sealing us in this bitterly cold wasteland for ten thousand years. Now, the cycle of cause and effect has come to an end. Immortal Venerable is a wise man. Why should you make an enemy of His Majesty for the sake of those ants?"
"We have different paths, so let's fight." Before Fu Yunshu finished speaking, the Cold Cry Sword was already in his hand, its tip pointing directly at Wuxiang!
"Stubborn to the end!" Wu Xiang sneered, knowing the negotiations had broken down, he stopped pretending. He spread his hands, and deep purple demonic power soared into the sky, transforming into countless ferocious tentacles that swept towards Fu Yunshu. Wherever the tentacles passed, even the space itself emitted a corrosive "sizzling" sound.
"Then let this protector see just how capable the number one cultivator of the human race truly is!"
Shao Yu received the message from Wu Xiang and snorted coldly, "That Fu Yunshu really doesn't know what's good for him."
He slowly shifted his gaze to Yin Lisheng, his eyes mocking, "I remember you and he were lovers, right?"
Shao Yu leaned close to Yin Lisheng's ear and whispered, "I haven't tasted the flavor of a man yet. Once I possess you, I'll use your body to cultivate with Fu Yunshu. It must be quite a unique experience."
