A person may start out as a good person, but as they experience many things, their mindset may gradually change, and they may become a very evil person.
Of course, bad people can also turn into good people.
Given enough time, nothing is immutable.
“Hongyu, why don’t you tell me about the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master you knew back then?” Liu Yi wasn’t sleepy at all; on the contrary, she was very interested in the encounter between Shangguan Hongyu and the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master.
Shangguan Hongyu thought for a long time and said, "I don't even know where to begin. I only remember that Jianghu was a very pitiful child back then..."
When the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master was young, he was thin and stuttered, and was often bullied by his peers.
Later, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master's parents died tragically in an accident.
From that time on, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master became the punching bag for everyone in the village.
Anyone who is in a bad mood will be brutally beaten by the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master.
For those villagers, beating up the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master would make them extremely happy.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master couldn't survive in that village, but he was still very young and couldn't leave.
After all, this is a world overrun by monsters. If a young child goes out alone, he might be captured and eaten by a monster before he even gets far from home.
It was around that time that a monster suddenly appeared in their village.
It was an ugly rat demon, but not so evil at heart, stating that it only needed one child attendant.
If the villagers hand over one of the children, the rat demon will spare the entire village.
The villagers were overjoyed to hear this.
There just happened to be such a child in the village. If we hand him over, everyone will be saved.
And this boy was none other than the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master had no choice but to be bound by the villagers and handed over to the Rat Demon.
The rat demon took the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master to a stream and patiently washed his body.
At this time, the rat demon was very weak and desperately needed to eat a child to replenish its demonic power.
While cleaning the body of the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master, He discovered that the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master possessed exceptional talent for cultivation. If such a person were to be discovered, he would surely become a nightmare for demons in the future.
Fortunately, He discovered this creature first, and He will soon devour it, which is undoubtedly a great blessing for the demon race.
At the critical moment, Shangguan Hongyu happened to pass by and killed the rat demon with a single move.
At that time, in the eyes of the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master, Shangguan Hongyu, who suddenly appeared, was simply a fairy from heaven.
In the days that followed, he traveled all over the country with Shangguan Hongyu and learned a lot of skills.
Finally, when Shangguan Hongyu was about to leave this country, she sent the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master to Mangshan.
The mountain lord of Mangshan was very excited, because the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master had exceptional talent, and with proper training, his future prospects were limitless.
Despite being bullied all the time, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master remained kind and would always lend a helping hand whenever he saw injustice.
That's why Shangguan Hongyu sent him to Mangshan to learn martial arts.
What no one expected was that years later, the tiger-slaying hero who would stand up for the weak, despite becoming a Taoist master, would also turn into a demon who wreaks havoc on the people.
Bian Lang asked, "How long has it been since you last saw each other?"
"It's been at least three hundred years," Shangguan Hongyu replied after thinking for a moment.
Dugu Qiusheng was stunned: "That guy actually lived for hundreds of years?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Yi's lifespan is now at least two hundred years," Shangguan Hongyu said with a smile.
Once Liu Yi successfully severs the infant, her lifespan will reach five hundred years.
Because Liu Yi entered the Nascent Soul Realm at a very young age, she will remain young and beautiful for a long time to come and will never age.
In fact, although Liu Yi looks younger than Dugu Qiusheng now, she is actually more than ten years older than Dugu Qiusheng.
It is because of her exceptional talent and rapid cultivation that she looks so young.
I thought the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master would make his move that night, but the night passed peacefully.
However, the disciples of Mangshan remained hidden in the shadows, silently observing everyone's movements.
Clearly, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master would not find peace of mind until he eliminated them.
At this moment, on the summit of Mangshan Mountain, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master stood outside a stone formation, head bowed and silent, his expression respectful.
After a while, a dull thud came from the stone formation.
"Grandmaster, you're awake?" The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master suddenly looked up, his voice filled with joy.
The man in the stone formation asked, "What is it?"
"I have discovered a powerful demon, and I am no match for it. I would like to ask my master for help." The voice of the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master became increasingly respectful.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master possessed the cultivation to sever an infant, but in front of his grandmaster, he still felt pitifully weak.
The person in the stone formation said, "I am preparing for my tribulation; the great demon is not a problem."
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master was nervous. If his grandmaster didn't take action, who in the entire Mangshan Mountain could be a match for Shangguan Hongyu?
If Shangguan Hongyu is not eliminated, his deeds will be exposed, and once exposed, he will have no place in this world.
Everyone in Mangshan knows that the most important thing for the Grandmaster now is to undergo the Immortal Tribulation.
Over the years, many ancestors in Mangshan have attempted to transcend the Immortal Tribulation, but none have ever succeeded.
However, all the disciples believed that their current master would definitely succeed.
If a divine being were to emerge from Mangshan, its fame would be even greater, and it would undoubtedly become the leader of this continent.
But for the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master, his master's tribulation to become an immortal was far less important than his own interests.
After the grandmaster successfully ascended to the immortal realm, he would inevitably bring huge benefits to Mangshan. However, in the long run, Mangshan lost its grandmaster and its own strength was greatly reduced.
