Chapter 100
Yan Shiqun died in Qianlun after the battle with the Demonic Sect.
Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes, I was reborn fifty years later.
Over the years, he has kept his identity hidden, wandering the world and trying to stay away from places where righteous sects gather.
The longer one is alone, the more withdrawn one becomes.
He never gave up; one day he would make all the so-called righteous people pay the price.
With this in mind, he followed Wen Tianyu to Jingge.
Unexpectedly, we actually found a way to break the seal on Qianlun Mountain here.
But he didn't rush to make a move.
The reason was simple: he knew Wen Tianyu wouldn't let him take these documents away so easily.
So he hid in the Jing Pavilion, secretly honing his skills.
At first, he scoffed, thinking that these people were only bound together by mutual interests.
He couldn't see any genuine feelings or emotions.
As it turned out, he was right.
Finally, he fought with Wen Tianyu, and he almost died there.
Ironically, he had briefly considered letting go of his grudges before Ruan Linglai left.
What's even funnier is that, at his most hateful moment, he was actually saved by Shenziju.
Shenziju only made one request.
He needed a big fire, no matter what.
Only Yan Shiqun could set a fire without regard for the consequences, because Yan Shiqun didn't care about the lives of others; birds and beasts had nothing to do with the Demonic Sect.
He's right about at least that.
Unable to suppress the blood lotus on her forehead and the surrounding baleful aura, and disregarding the fate of the Shuofeng demon beasts, Yan Shiqun cruelly slaughtered a group of cultivation families. The leading Zhao and Li families had already been wiped out, and as Yan Shiqun cleaned up the remaining fodder, the Xie family could not escape either.
After completing the revenge that everyone had laid out, Yan Shiqun headed to Qianlun Mountain.
"Are we just supposed to watch the whole thing?" Jie Zhoujian found it hard to express his feelings.
At first, I felt powerless and in pain, but after one bloody scene after another, I became somewhat numb.
He was drawn into the observer's perspective, and like Bu Qingjue, he couldn't do anything. He understood Bu Qingjue's current feelings.
He could probably guess that the reason he was taken away by Bu Qingjue in the first place was because he was useful to Bu Qingjue.
Bu Qingjue didn't answer him, but that was a response in itself, and the two fell silent again.
Then, the scene changed again.
The system notification sounded again.
[Host, you may leave at any time if you experience any discomfort.]
During the day, Jie could not hear the system's voice, but could only hear Bu Qingjue's low-pitched muttering to himself: "What will happen if I leave?"
[This concisely informs you of the plot and takes you to the next point.]
"..."
Bu Qingjue shook his head in the end.
"No."
He still didn't want to turn a character's death into a short sentence.
Bu Qingjue felt a little comforted when he thought that Jie had stayed by his side during the day, but 1 was far from enough.
He turned to Xie Zhoujian and said, "Let's finish watching the story of the lost geese."
Jie nodded during the day: "Okay."
Qianlun Mountain.
I had never heard of Bu Qingjue before.
He clearly knew too little about the plot.
What was once called Shuofeng, now called Qianlun Mountain... the Ruan family, the Heavenly Eye, the Mountain Guardians, the Demonic Cultivators...
He knows absolutely nothing about it.
Because he didn't take these plot points seriously from the beginning.
Perhaps sensing Bu Qingjue's intense feelings of self-blame, Jie Zhoujian pulled him aside and said, "Don't overthink it, I believe in you."
"..."
Bu Qingjue's "thank you" stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered.
Qianlun Mountain.
A lone goose appeared, stumbling and staggering.
At this point, he had already broken the seal on Qianlun Mountain.
He never imagined that after fighting his way back to Qianlun Mountain, he would still have to kill demonic cultivators along the way to get back to his Black Stone Palace.
Today is the full moon of the month, and the Black Stone Palace is bathed in overflowing moonlight.
Yan Shiqun never expected to find herself here, facing off against her most trusted subordinate, Xi Jing.
Or rather, he is no longer Xijing.
He never became Xijing.
"So you've already planted your spies everywhere outside, and the full moon night suits your tastes perfectly," Yan Shiqun said with self-mockery after suffering heavy blows and exhausting his fire. "If that's the case, why did you go to all that trouble to lure me into the mountains?"
"You've had quite a lot of experience over the years," the other person replied, seemingly ignoring the question. "To refer to yourself as 'I,' hiding your identity in the world must be very difficult, right?"
He's right.
Yan Shiqun changed his speech habit because of his identity, and there was no one in the world he could trust.
"Where is the real Western scenery?"
"Unfortunately, he self-destructed in the dungeon last night and was blown to pieces."
Now there really aren't any left.
"And I had already stirred up trouble, but who knew that the heavens would work in your favor and greatly weaken you. Now, in everyone's eyes, the real Demon Lord is me."
"I let you in on purpose so I could kill you myself. You'll have to give up the title of Demon Lord whether you like it or not."
Yan Shiqun and the imposter fought three rounds in the deserted Black Stone Palace before Yan Shiqun was at a disadvantage, as the opponent's victory was truly unfair.
But no one could participate in this struggle, and the years eroded everyone's trust and memories. Demon Lord Yan's separation from his flock eventually became a story.
Stories exist only in words, not in reality.
Yan Shiqun clutched his chest, wiped away the black blood, and smiled—a rare occurrence for him.
He had recently escaped from Jingge, barely clinging to life, after being stabbed several times.
He already knows what it feels like to be stabbed in the back, so he won't feel the pain again.
From all directions of Qianlun Mountain, the demonic cultivators outside were summoned back. It seems he was still afraid, afraid that he was not strong enough to fight against Yan Shiqun.
Yan Shiqun's forehead was bleeding. With a single palm strike, he knocked Zhu Ri away, instantly shattering the Black Stone Palace.
Then, Zhu Ri was grabbed by the collar by Yan Shiqun: "You...!"
His strength was within Zhu Ri's expectations.
However, Zhu Ri did not expect that Yan Shiqun would not care about the survival of the Demonic Sect.
He wanted to die with them!
“They don’t need me, nor do they need to claim to be me.”
"In that case, I have no need for such a demonic cult."
"The wild goose lost its flock!!"
When Bu Qingjue and Jie looked up during the day, they saw dark clouds pressing down on the city, obscuring the full moonlight. Yan Shiqun, by his own power, destroyed his elixir and resealed the entire Qianlun Mountain.
The Demonic Sect lost its two Demon Lords, the real and the fake, in an instant, and was forever shrouded in a black mist. Yan Shiqun died on his way back, as if he had never been reborn into the mortal world.
But he was a strong man, and his death was the most dramatic.
When the wild geese return in formation, the moon will be full over the western tower.
How can one describe the sheer power of that final scene?
Bu Qingjue felt a deep sense of loss.
The so-called Six Ministers of Jingge were torn apart in various parts of the story, and all of them died tragically in the end.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the destiny storyline. Updated mission:]
[Kill the Worry-Free]
[Story progress: 90%]
Bu Qingjue received a new mission, and his body truly touched a physical entity. The system thoughtfully sent him and Hejie Zhoujian to a peaceful place in the chaotic world.
In the past, on the top of Cangshan Mountain, the Yun family's territory, he could look down and survey the surrounding area.
There were hordes of demonic beasts, escaped demonic cultivators, blood, and corpses—a chaotic mess.
Bu Qingjue fully understood his role.
The original ending was to destroy the entire world and kill all the main characters.
He turned to look at Xie Zhoujian, who was still behind him, and asked:
"The Xie family only has Xie You left. We have to go and kill him."
