"Now that's great, you didn't want to tell her about this, she'll definitely be angry when she finds out." Wu Hai, never one to miss a chance to stir things up, continued to speak sarcastically.
"It's all because of you! If you hadn't told her about this, how would she have known? If she didn't know, she wouldn't be angry with me about it. Why did you have to tell her this!"
Hearing Wu Hai say that, Su Mo was furious. She stood directly in front of Wu Hai and demanded an explanation from him.
However, Wu Hai was even angrier than Su Mo.
He stared coldly at Su Mo and said in a cold voice, "So you think keeping this from her is for her own good? For a woman, are you planning to abandon the Ming Cult?"
"Tell me, why did you suddenly leave the Ming Cult this time? Is it because you've received news about this woman again?"
Faced with Wu Hai's questioning, Su Mo fell silent, and her previous aggressive demeanor vanished without a trace.
But his silence only fueled Wu Hai's anger even more.
He stood up abruptly from his seat, walked step by step to Su Mo, grabbed her collar, and said directly, "What happens between you and her is none of my business."
"But I warn you, you are now the leader of the Ming Cult. You bear the weight of not only your own fate, but the fate of the entire Ming Cult."
"If you dare to do this again, I might let it go, but you'll see if Xueqing will!"
Su Mo turned his head to the side, and after a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "I just heard about her, so I wanted to go see her."
"I just want to ask her why she left without saying goodbye back then? Why hasn't she returned to the Ming Cult even once in all these years? Why can she even abandon her own daughter?"
Wu Hai was clearly aware of the complicated relationship between Su Mo and that woman.
After hearing Su Mo's words, Wu Hai asked coldly, "So, did you get the answer you wanted?"
"She is dead. What I saw was her grave. It turns out that she hadn't come back all these years because she was already gone."
"The gravedigger she left there gave me a letter she wrote before she died, saying that if I found the place, I should have the gravedigger give me the letter."
"But it took me so many years to find her. We missed each other for so many years. I'm so sorry to her, Wu Hai, I'm so sorry to her!"
Seeing Su Mo crying in remorse before him, Wu Hai, who couldn't quite understand his feelings, spoke directly: "You've wronged more than just her! So, is this why your inner demons have suddenly intensified?"
Su Mo nodded silently.
"Then do you know how to get rid of your inner demons?" Wu Hai asked.
Su Mo shook her head.
The same problem occurred between Su Xueqing and Xiao Feng, when Su Xueqing suddenly went to find Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised and worried. Could it be that Su Xueqing had regretted their separation?
But Su Xueqing came to him only to ask him about Su Mo's inner demons.
"Since you know about the existence of inner demons, do you have any way to eliminate them?" Su Xueqing asked eagerly as soon as she saw Xiao Feng.
"Only the leader himself can do it, and there is only one way to eliminate inner demons: forget emotions."
After learning about this from the system, Xiao Feng immediately inquired about it.
The system gave Xiao Feng the same answer: only by forgetting emotions can one dispel inner demons.
If the inner demons arose from other reasons, that would be fine, but Su Mo's inner demons arose from her guilt and feelings for a woman, born out of endless regret.
"Therefore, unless the leader forgets his emotions, there is no way to dispel the inner demons that have arisen in his heart. Moreover, the inner demons that have arisen from emotions have the greatest impact on the leader now and will directly affect his state of mind."
After hearing Xiao Feng's words, Su Xueqing staggered and said, "Even you can't do anything? Forgetting emotions is easy to say, but if Father could truly forget emotions, he wouldn't have developed inner demons!"
Not to mention that the person Su Mo wanted to forget was Su Xueqing's mother.
This is a complete dead end.
"There's no other way. You should try to comfort Master Jie," Xiao Feng said regretfully.
Su Xueqing remained silent for a long time, and after a brief farewell, she left Xiao Feng's courtyard.
Just as she was about to step out of the courtyard, Xiao Feng suddenly called out to Su Xueqing from behind.
Xiao Feng told Su Xueqing that some of the pills he had given her before could help her break through her cultivation level.
“Now those prestigious sects are eyeing us covetously, and you know the current situation of the leader. He could collapse at any moment. The best thing for the Ming Cult right now is for you to improve your own strength,” Xiao Feng said sincerely from behind.
Su Xueqing stood there for a while, but without responding to Xiao Feng, she quickly disappeared from the courtyard gate.
Xiao Feng sighed softly. It seemed that what had happened before had affected Su Xueqing's attitude towards him. But thinking about it, it made sense. After what had happened, the two of them could no longer be friends.
At that moment, Xiao Feng received a telepathic message from Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.
“I have taken back control of Tianyi Sect. Those treacherous fellows have all been dealt with. The Ancestor is seriously injured and is currently in seclusion to recuperate. I will completely take control of Tianyi Sect before the Ancestor goes into seclusion.”
This was a deal between Xiao Feng and Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.
Now that Xuanyuan Shumou has accomplished this, Xiao Feng immediately instructed the system to help Xuanyuan Shumou devour a portion of the Demon Emperor's divided soul.
"Because of your previous injury, your cultivation level is somewhat unstable. I have already released part of the seal in your sea of consciousness. You cannot devour the Demon Emperor's split soul in its full power state, but you should be able to devour a little bit, right?"
Xuan Yuan Shu Mou was very excited when he heard Xiao Feng's reply.
It turns out that Xiao Feng really wasn't lying to me; he really could help me completely devour the Demon Emperor.
Xuanyuan Shumou sensed the unfamiliar aura appearing in his consciousness, quickly enveloped it, and then gradually transformed its power into his own.
Xuan Yuan Shu Mou felt that the occasional feeling of powerlessness after regaining his body had indeed been alleviated quite a bit.
"I will definitely keep my promise to you. Once my strength increases, it will be much easier for me to take control of the Tianyi Sect. Those old fogies should just die sooner rather than later."
Even the Xuanyuan Ancestor probably couldn't have imagined that it was precisely because of his complete disregard for Xuanyuan Shumou's actions that Xuanyuan Shumou completely turned against him.
