A few days later, a white streak of light slid down from the sky, and the critically injured Jun Tan fell into the depths of the Heavenly Demon Abyss. Yu Hui came to her, holding the holy sword that he had taken from her.
The figure in red landed in front of Bai Yao, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She stared at Bai Yao for a long time, saying, "I told you, you are no match for me. Quiet down for a while."
“Yu Hui…” Jun Tan’s eyes became unfocused.
Because at this moment, Yu Hui had already used his methods. "Get a good night's sleep, girl. Since you are one and symbiotic, I will help Xiao Li one last time. Jun Tan, only when a person knows how to be swayed by emotions can he be considered a real person. This is the best ending. You and I will no longer have to face each other in life and death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yao fell into a deep sleep. Yu Hui left the sword in his hand beside her, both to protect her safety and to return it to its rightful owner.
After saying that, Yu Hui stretched and slowly walked towards Xiao Yuhan.
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan's eyes were empty, as if he had become the same as when he experienced the Illusionary Path of the River of No Return, but not entirely. He was like a newborn child, curiously looking at everything around him.
Yu Hui stared at Xiao Yuhan, and then laughed. "Xiao Yuhan, I warned you long ago not to rely on the power of the Blood King Gu. But that Nangong Ling'er is quite amazing. She actually managed to complete the methods I didn't include in the Blood King Scripture. But... completing the Blood King Sword is the Demon Disciple's method of forging. Xiao Yuhan, I asked you to join me back then, but you refused. Now you've actually become one of us. How pathetic."
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan stood up. He didn't know why, but staring at Yu Hui in front of him, he instinctively felt a trace of hatred. He transformed into a stream of light and rushed forward, throwing a punch that filled the valley with crimson lightning.
Yu Hui looked at Xiao Yuhan in surprise, "Oh? You've gained my power and you still want to deal with me? I have no interest in playing with you! System, wake up!"
Yu Hui blocked Xiao Yuhan's attack. Although Xiao Yuhan was now qualified to fight Yu Hui, a large part of his power came from Yu Hui, so he could not cause Yu Hui much damage.
At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang in Xiao Yuhan's ears, "System restart, about to take over host's body."
"System?" A chill ran down Xiao Yuhan's spine. He didn't know why he was so irritable, but just hearing the system speak made him inexplicably angry.
"Die!" Xiao Yuhan's body erupted with terrifying lightning.
But the system's voice kept echoing in my ears.
"Attempt to take over the host's body... Failed. Continuing the attempt to take over..."
This sentence was repeated dozens of times, and Xiao Yuhan kept using her spiritual power to resist it.
Not far away, Yu Hui reached out and rubbed his forehead. "Sigh... What a hassle. It's easier to deal with it if you let it take over. If I had known you could handle the system yourself after you gained power, I should have rushed to the Heavenly Sword Sect and turned you into my Demon Lord! Sigh... Can't you do it, Xiao Yuhan? I'm getting impatient!"
Yu Hui stood still, watching Xiao Yuhan fight against the system. After a long while, he seemed to get impatient and then walked towards Xiao Yuhan.
"Forget it, I'll do it. Xiao Yuhan, I don't know what will happen to you after you become a demon disciple, but remember this: no matter what, protect my sister Ali. Now, you should rest!"
With that, Yu Hui made his move, causing Xiao Yuhan to faint.
But just as Xiao Yuhan collapsed, he opened his eyes again. His gaze turned cold and emotionless, and his expression was numb, like a machine.
"System detection, granting the highest level of kill privileges, target: heretic intruder."
As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as if the laws of heaven and earth were generated around Xiao Yuhan's body, and all the rules changed with his actions.
Yu Hui frowned and stared at Xiao Yuhan, saying, "System, let's go. Let's fight somewhere else. Since the sword of law is no longer the central point of the seal, all the spiritual energy that Jun Tan borrowed will return to its original place. This Xiliang will no longer be Xiliang. One day, this place will become the holy land it once was, right?"
After speaking, Yu Hui flew into the sky, followed closely by Xiao Yuhan, who was now under the control of the system. The two went to fight in the sky. This time, no one saw the battle again, but the snow in Xiliang fell heavier and heavier.
And for a very long time afterward, it never stopped.
After waking up, Bai Yao was in a daze and left the Heavenly Demon Valley alone without any purpose.
She walked through the snow-covered Xiliang and arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall. Countless demons bowed to her. She stared at the demon tide and said, "Disperse. In less than a year, Xiliang will return to the Phoenix Cry Mountain of yesteryear. You will no longer need to kill for survival. Return to your original place."
No one dared to question her words, and the Demon Lord Danzhu, who was hiding among the demons, also knew that the situation was hopeless and Jun Tan had returned. She dared not linger and fled Xiliang in a sorry state.
The demon race dispersed, leaving only the exhausted human cultivators and the high and mighty demon empress atop the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall.
Bai Yao saw Shen Huairu again, and her feelings were somewhat complicated. Although she had regained her Jun Tan personality and believed that the people in front of her were of a different race from herself, she couldn't help but feel pity for this person who had once been her senior master.
Looking at Bai Yao, whose demeanor was different from usual, Shen Huairu felt uneasy. "Yao'er? Where... is your master?"
Bai Yao stared coldly at Shen Huairu and said softly, "Xiao Yuhan? He should be dead. I have things to do, that's all."
