Shen Huairu continued to explain, "My junior brother went deep into the Heavenly Demon Abyss to deal with Yu Hui. He may have only been injured. You can't do this. If you attack him before the matter is cleared up, I will consider it as you starting a war with the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
"Sect Master Shen, why are you doing this? If he's not a demonic disciple, let him explain himself!"
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan coldly looked at everyone, "Whether I am a demon disciple or not, what does it have to do with you?"
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it and just kept walking forward, wanting to leave this place.
At this moment, Shen Huairu also knew that she could not force her junior brother to stay. After all, whether her junior brother would listen to her was another matter, and the current troubles were difficult to resolve.
Of course, with Shen Huairu there to block her way, many people still gave her face and didn't attack Xiao Yuhan on the spot, but watched him leave step by step.
However, the elders on the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall were still somewhat worried, and immediately ordered someone to secretly follow Xiao Yuhan.
...
Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Demon Valley, amidst the ruins of the palace, Lin Yuan, who had lost both arms, was still hiding. He dared not leave, nor was he willing to leave just like that. His combat power was greatly reduced due to the loss of his arms. Finally, he waited for this moment. Yu Hui's battle with someone had ended. He looked at a long sword falling from the sky, and his expression turned mad.
Just as he was about to absorb the remaining power on the longsword, a figure suddenly appeared. Dressed in white with a smile on her lips, she stared at Lin Yuan and teased, "Oh! Isn't this our Holy Lord Mingyuan? How did you end up in such a sorry state?"
Lin Yuan looked at the newcomer with great vigilance. "Jiang Yining, what are you doing here?"
"Why can't I be here? Yu Hui is gone, and this Heavenly Demon Abyss needs a master."
"You mean you want to be the master of the Heavenly Demon Abyss? Ha! You think you're worthy?"
Jiang Yining slowly walked towards the long sword, circling it and examining it for a moment. "This sword is Yu Hui's personal sword, her natal magic weapon. It's already here, so it seems she must be dead."
"Heh... What? You want to replace her?"
"Why not? Yu Hui, that crazy woman, I don't know what she's after. Even if she has the power to look down on the world, what's the point? She can get everything she wants, she can get close to the Dao, but she only thinks about playing around in the mortal world. Don't you think she's like a madwoman? She likes to manipulate other people's lives, and even fabricates her own life. Sigh... Forget it, this knife is mine."
As she spoke, Jiang Yining reached out to touch the long sword, but as soon as she touched it, she frowned. "No way, why is there only such a weak power left? Logically speaking, even if Yu Hui's body is completely destroyed, her cultivation should still be entrusted to her natal weapon... Why is the power on this natal weapon so weak?"
Lin Yuan stared at Jiang Yining, "Since Yu Hui's death, our strength has recovered to its peak. Of course you don't want this sword. If you don't want it, give it to me!"
Jiang Yining chuckled softly, "You? Your hands are useless, what are you going to do with this knife? Absorb its power? What a waste. How about this, Lin Yuan, kneel down and submit to me now, and maybe I'll be willing to bestow this upon you."
"Are you qualified? I was the one who brought you into the Heavenly Demon Abyss back then!"
Jiang Yining spread her hands. "Why am I not qualified? Indeed, I am far less powerful than Yu Hui, but there are some things I can do that she may not be able to do. Thinking back to when you brought me into the Heavenly Demon Abyss and sacrificed my original soul to become a powerful Demon Lord, that was not what I wanted. Back then, I only wanted to go back to see Yang Zui. But after so many years in the Heavenly Demon Abyss, I feel that matters of love between men and women are meaningless. Immortality and the Dao of Heaven are what we cultivators should pursue."
"You've remembered everything? Ha! Jiang Yining, we're not on the same path anymore. For the sake of the last bit of friendship we had back then, let me go. I know I'm no match for you now."
Jiang Yining narrowed her eyes, then smiled, "Okay!"
"really?"
"Do you think I'm like Yu Hui? She's fickle and treacherous, and she's always doing things that harm others without benefiting herself. But I'm different. I value interests. Lin Yuan, with a master like you and the seal on the Heavenly Demon Abyss broken, even if your strength doesn't return to its peak, it should still be about the same as when the seal was still on, right? I can do you a favor. I admire your loyalty. If you're desperate, come find me at the Heavenly Dao Sect."
Lin Yuan was somewhat dazed. Upon reflection, he realized that dealing with Jiang Yining had been quite good. In some ways, she was indeed more trustworthy than Yu Hui.
Because she had ulterior motives, but Yu Hui was different. That woman possessed unparalleled power, and had no desires or wants.
She is naturally unmoved by anything; she only cares about her own preferences. To put it bluntly, she does things her own way, doesn't care about anyone else's emotions, and does everything for her own pleasure.
But Jiang Yining is considerate of others, even if her motivation is to make a profit, and such a person is still trustworthy.
At least Lin Yuan still has confidence and value to be exploited, and this value can save his life.
He glanced back at the long sword on the ground, feeling somewhat disappointed and dejected, but at this moment he dared not fight Jiang Yining, so he had no choice but to give up.
As promised, Jiang Yining let him leave alive. After Lin Yuan left, Jiang Yining grasped the long sword, closed her eyes, and sensed the laws within it. Suddenly, she felt a surge of joy, laughed loudly a few times, and then put the long sword away.
