Xiao Yuhan was a little nervous. Although he knew that the baby girl Bai Yao had the protagonist's halo and would not die, the plot was that he was going to take Bai Yao as his disciple and bring her back to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But if the junior sister discovers that Bai Yao is the reincarnation of a demon god, the plot will immediately change.
"Junior sister, you must be mistaken. Quickly check their condition. If there are no problems, escort them out." At this moment, Xiao Yuhan could only bite the bullet and say this.
At this moment, the system issued another warning: "Warning! Bai Yao's parents must die in Yongning Village. If they live, the plot will be altered!"
"I fucking know! Can you shut up?! Is the author of this 'Eternal Empress' out of his mind? Why does he have to want the whole family to die?" Xiao Yuhan cursed inwardly, annoyed. No one would be in a good mood if they were in this situation.
He immediately began to think of a solution. In the original story, Bai Yao saw the scene of Xiao Yuhan killing his parents through the artifact Kunlun Mirror. In that case, he absolutely could not do it himself.
Just then, junior sister Nangong Ling'er cautiously approached the baby girl, "Senior brother! I'm absolutely not mistaken! That demonic aura is coming from this little baby girl!"
As she spoke, the girl in blue walked up to the peasant woman. The peasant woman seemed to know that her daughter was different from ordinary children, so she was very wary of the girl's questioning.
"What...what are you going to do? My daughter isn't a demon!" The peasant woman instinctively protected her daughter.
The girl in green, without changing her expression, used her spiritual power to control the peasant woman's movements, and then raised her hand to test the baby girl with her spiritual power.
As soon as Nangong Ling'er's spiritual power touched the baby girl, a terrifying demonic power suddenly burst forth from the baby girl's body, blasting everyone away.
Xiao Yuhan and Nangong Ling'er were both cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, so they were not seriously injured. After being knocked back a few steps, they regained their footing. Junior Sister Nangong Ling'er quickly went forward to check on the couple.
"The female protagonist's parents are dead, killed by someone other than the host, which has altered the main storyline. The world of the Eternal Empress is about to end..."
Hearing the system notification, Xiao Yuhan panicked and immediately said, "Hey! Hey! Wait a minute, is this it? Can't I just admit that I killed him?"
"The system has determined that the host's suggestion is invalid. Since the female protagonist will see the truth of the past through the artifact in the Kunlun Mirror storyline, you will be the key point of hatred that drives the plot to its climax."
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Yuhan said to the system, then walked towards Bai Yao's parents to check their injuries. He found that the couple had already died. In order not to die in this world, he used his immortal sword to cut off their heads.
"Now... is it okay? In the future, the female lead Bai Yao will be able to see me behead her parents through the Kunlun Mirror." Xiao Yuhan felt extremely uncomfortable.
"System has determined that this aligns with the plot development. The Yongning Village massacre in Chapter One is established. You have earned 10,000 points."
At this moment, the girl in green, Nangong Ling'er, stepped forward, seemingly puzzled by her senior brother's actions. "Senior brother, what are you doing?!"
You know they're dead, right?
"Even so... why did you have to cut off their heads?"
"This place is filled with evil energy, and the resentment of those who died innocently must be extremely strong. This is the most effective way to prevent them from turning into zombies!" Xiao Yuhan explained forcefully.
Nangong Ling'er was panicked and asked softly, "Senior brother... what exactly is that baby girl? I can really sense the demonic energy within her. I didn't mean to kill her parents..."
Seeing his junior sister so remorseful, Xiao Yuhan patted her head. "Silly junior sister, it's not your fault. I don't know what this girl is either, but people are inherently good. We can't just kill a baby girl who's still in swaddling clothes. As for the lives of this couple, I'll take the blame!"
"This won't do! It was all my recklessness..."
"Alright, silly girl, your senior brother is a man, so naturally he has to take responsibility. Remember this! No matter what your senior brothers and sisters ask you in the future, don't admit that it's related to you!"
“But… Senior Brother Xiao, killing innocent civilians is strictly prohibited by the sect rules. If you take the blame, you will be severely punished…” Nangong Ling’er’s voice grew softer and softer.
Xiao Yuhan thought to himself that he had no choice but to take the blame in order to follow the plot, but if he could gain his junior sister's favor, he might have a helper when Bai Yao wanted to kill him in the future.
In the original story, the Five Sword Immortals of Ling Su were top-tier combat power in the current cultivation world. Although Junior Sister Nangong Ling'er was the weakest, she was still a first-rate expert. It would be a waste not to take advantage of such a favor.
So he immediately declared righteously, "Junior Sister, don't worry, I'm fine. I can accept any punishment!"
Seeing Xiao Yuhan take the blame for her sake, Nangong Ling'er felt extremely uncomfortable. She immediately stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve, "Senior brother, I'm sorry... I always heard Senior Sister Shen say that you were gloomy, so I was always afraid of you. I never expected you would do this for me..."
Xiao Yuhan interrupted her, then patted the girl's head and comforted her, "Alright! Junior Sister, when you see the Sect Leader later, tell him that my recklessness caused the death of this couple. Let's go first. This little girl is destined for me. After bringing her back to the sect, I want to take her as my disciple. So please don't tell the Sect Leader about the demonic energy on her. I will find a way to help her eliminate the demonic power and become a normal person. Consider it compensation for her parents..."
"Senior brother is kind-hearted, Ling'er will do as you say!"
The two siblings left the village carrying the baby girl. At that moment, the Demon-Slaying Array was activated. The red array runes floating in the sky flickered with an eerie red light. In an instant, all the villagers who had been turned into demons turned to ashes.
