At the moment "Xian Yunzi" turned into ashes, the three people entangled by the vines felt their feet loosen and they all fell down.
Wanwan was lucky. When she was about to fall to the ground, Fugui, who was standing beside her, quickly broke free from the vines and hugged her neatly, and then they both landed steadily on the ground.
But Xiao Moqing on the side was not so lucky. He was not paying attention and fell to the ground with a terrible face.
“Ouch!”
Xiao Moqing lay on the ground, screaming in pain.
My handsome face is really suffering today.
"Thank you, Fugui." Wanwan looked at the secret guard who held her steadily and thanked him politely.
Afterwards, Wanwan turned her gaze towards the real Xian Yunzi who was dressed in white not far away.
Seeing the little girl's inquiring gaze, Xian Yunzi knew what she wanted to ask and slowly said, "That's my inner demon."
Wanwan: "Inner demon?"
[The woman who looked exactly like Xian Yunzi was Xian Yunzi's inner demon, but why wasn't that mentioned in the article?]
Xian Yunzi looked at the golden light left by the setting sun behind her, and in a cold voice she explained the real reason why she had trapped herself in the secret valley.
"All of this started because of me. After Ajue's death, in order to avoid being consumed by the grief of losing him, I wandered the world, slaying all the evil spirits that harmed people. At first, everything went just as I expected. As long as I immersed myself in my daily grind, I wouldn't think of Ajue, nor would I be consumed by the grief of losing my lover.
But I forgot that no matter how hard I tried to suppress my longing for him, my love for him remained. The suppressed love and the demonic blood on my hands caused a crack in my Dao heart, and thus another me was born.
Wanwan asked, "Is it the inner demon that looks exactly like you?"
Xian Yunzi nodded and continued, "At first, she didn't do anything, but she appeared frequently in my consciousness. Moreover, I found that after her existence, my longing for Tian Jue didn't seem as strong as before. Compared to me, she seemed to miss A Jue more than I did.
It was her appearance that helped me find a way to stop being trapped by love. She was like a container, carrying my thoughts about Ajue. But the good times didn’t last long. She began to change, started killing people, and her hands were stained with blood——"
…
"What are you doing?"
Inside the hall, a strong, bloody atmosphere permeated the air. Xian Yunzi looked at the blood in the woman's hand not far away, and his gaze fell on the bodies lying in a pool of blood at her feet. He frowned and said, "Did you do the recent murder of the people in the neighboring village? Are you crazy?"
"Xian Yunzi" who was not far away heard the words, smiled slightly, and in front of Xian Yunzi, he dripped a drop of blood from his fingertips into the phoenix inner core in his palm.
The originally golden phoenix inner core now emits a strange dark red color due to the nourishment of blood.
"Xian Yunzi" chuckled and said, "Don't you know whether I'm crazy or not? You clearly know the way to revive Ah Jue, but you haven't taken any action yet. Doesn't it require the blood of a hundred people to revive Ah Jue? I've done it for you, even though you didn't dare to do it."
…
"The blood and sweat of a hundred people?" Xiao Moqing couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing Xian Yunzi's words.
Wanwan: [No wonder that inner demon said she was only three people short. Turns out she's already taken the blood of ninety-seven people.]
Xian Yunzi said: "Anyone who goes against the will of heaven will suffer backlash. I know this very well, so after knowing that the blood of a hundred people can revive Tian Jue, I did not take action.
Especially after seeing her inject the blood of ninety-seven people into Tian Jue's inner elixir, and seeing it transform into a monster filled with a strong smell of blood, I knew that even if Ah Jue was truly resurrected, he would no longer be the Ah Jue I once loved.
"In order to suppress her, I sealed myself in the Secret Valley and created dreams for her again and again."
"Wait." Wanwan suddenly asked, "You mean her?"
Xian Yunzi paused slightly: "What?"
Wanwan blinked and said, "Even though she is your inner demon, she is also you in essence. You created dreams for your inner demon, but what about the real you?"
"The real me?" Xian Yunzi murmured.
Wanwan said, "The person who tied the bell must untie it. She is your inner demon, but she is also you! You want her to disappear. If you let go completely, won't she disappear completely?"
Wouldn't she disappear completely?
Has it disappeared completely?
disappear?
Hearing what the little girl said, Xian Yunzi felt as if his heart was suddenly hit hard.
yes.
She is her inner demon.
No matter how many times she killed her, she would always appear again.
So what does her appearance mean?
This shows that she has never given up her love for Ajue!
For a moment, Xian Yunzi was struck by lightning, and countless memories flashed before her eyes.
In order to save her, A Jue died in front of her.
She couldn't accept Ajue's death, and finally one day, she found a way to resurrect him in an ancient book.
Use the elixir as a bond and take the blood and sweat of hundreds of people.
As a cultivator, the sword in her hand only kills demons and monsters, not mortals.
Why can't she kill mortals? She has devoted herself to the righteous path and saved countless mortals. Now she just wants to take back the lives of a hundred people to save her fellow Taoist. Why can't she do that?
Mortals screamed, warm blood dripping onto her face.
She remembered, she remembered it all.
The blood on the blade in her hand told her that she had done it all, and it was all just her way of avoiding the fact that her hands were stained with blood.
There is no such thing as an inner demon. The woman who looks exactly like her is just a puppet she created!
A golden light overflowed from Xian Yunzi's chest. Her eyes were red as she looked up and saw that the phoenix inner core, which was originally dark red, had turned golden again.
In the golden light, she heard the man's gentle voice again after many years. She heard him whisper:
"Ayun."
Amid the familiar gentle voice, Xian Yunzi saw the vague shadow in the golden light gradually become clearer.
The man in white slowly turned around, revealing the face she had longed for for many years.
"Ayun, you finally saw me."
At that moment, the chaotic dream collapsed.
After many years, Xian Yunzi hugged her lover again.
