Chapter 119: Leopard Beast
"There's no room for me?" She murmured blankly, and her head began to hurt violently again.
Ever since she killed her father, she has had a demon in her heart, and has been tortured by bone-knocking and brain-digging headaches day and night, making her feel worse than death.
The more pain she suffered, the more violent her tendencies became, and she would want to kill people from time to time.
Even after she found the "scabbard" and reduced its sharpness, her headache was also greatly relieved.
But there are still two or three days every month when I am tormented by my inner demons and live under the shadow of patricide day after day.
She endured like this for over a decade, the demonic energy entering her body and damaging her spiritual roots. She knew she would eventually be destroyed, so when she learned that rebels were rising in various places, she sent Ah Zhuo away.
A gentle person like him shouldn't accompany me into hell forever...
However, in her new life, she had renounced the ways of evil and was no longer as violent and murderous as before. Why was there still evidence of demonic influence now?
The Land of Red Shadows... Oh, right, I'm currently in the Land of Red Shadows, surrounded by evil. Perhaps I've been unknowingly influenced by the evil spirits, bringing out the demons of my past life.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt enlightened, and looking at the scenery around me, I no longer felt confused.
Even the reflection in the water lost its ferocious look.
"Yueyue, stop it. You were born a descendant of the gods and are the darling of the world of immortal cultivation. Why would you make enemies with the entire world of immortal cultivation just for a bunch of ants?"
"Ants live and die in a day, and their vision is short-sighted. They will worship you as a god for just a little bit of benefit."
"The power of faith is the only value they can contribute. Why can't we take it?"
These words were spoken by my father back then. He, like the others in the sect, was aloof and indifferent to the suffering of the world, even going so far as to create disasters in order to exploit the power of faith.
At that time, Qingyue had not yet officially embarked on the path of evil. She returned to the sect, hoping to gain her father's support and change the current rules.
She said to her father, "Is the power of human faith a sin to possess? If you wish to obtain it, why not follow the right path? The sword of the strong should be directed upwards, not used to slaughter the weak. You have carefully woven lies, killed their loved ones, and yet you still want them to be grateful to you and contribute their faith. This is not only absurd, it is simply a sin!"
"In the final analysis, it's just that they want to take shortcuts but are unwilling to waste time and effort. After all, creating a natural disaster is far more difficult than redeeming and changing a people."
"Father, you're just as sanctimonious and hypocritical as them! How could a bandit, accustomed to plundering, lay down his butcher knife? I was naive to think I could convince you, father."
The father said coldly, "You are indeed naive! Since you cannot stand the various behaviors of the immortal cultivation world, then you don't have to watch them anymore. Come, lock the young lady in the confinement room and never let her set foot outside! From now on, I will pretend that I don't have a daughter like you, so that you won't go out and cause trouble and embarrass me!"
Qingyue was locked up in a confined room for three whole years, never seeing the sun and living in darkness. It was also during these three years that she secretly practiced magic skills and embarked on the path of becoming a great demon king.
When the past scenes reappear, when the previous conversations appear in the ears again.
Lin Qingyue's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she shouted, "Who are you, the evildoer, who dares to disturb my state of mind? You are courting death!"
At the same time, a palm was swung out: "Bang!"
A huge splash of water exploded on the calm lake surface. After the splash rolled a few times, it turned blood red.
"Get out here!" Lin Qingyue formed her five fingers into claws and grabbed out a monster with a tiger's head and a leopard's body.
The monster was wet all over and was still spitting blood from its mouth.
It was dragged ashore and rolled several times. Just as it was about to escape, its tail was suddenly stepped on and it screamed in pain.
Lin Qingyue narrowed her eyes. "I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be a leopard beast. Leopard beasts are shaped like tigers and leopards, and they don't recognize their relatives. They eat their own mothers alive, and are hated by the world."
I thought it had disappeared long ago, but I didn't expect to meet it here. It even saw through Lin Qingyue's inner fear and tried to lure her into the water and eat her.
The leopard beast had its tail stepped on, completely losing its strength to resist, but it continued to shout, "Aren't you the same as me? I've seen your past. You actually killed your father! You are a completely evil woman. Let me go, let me go!"
Lin Qingyue smiled faintly: "Yes, I am the villain. So, have you thought about how you want to die?"
"Ah!" The leopard beast screamed and suddenly became cowardly. "Don't kill me, I've already hidden in this barren land. Just let me go this once! I won't dare to provoke you again."
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me, have you seen this person's soul?" As Lin Qingyue spoke, she pointed her finger in the middle, and the image of Dongfangqi's face appeared in the void.
The leopard beast looked at the figure in the shadow, pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I remember now, it really exists!"
"Where is it?" Lin Qingyue asked hurriedly.
The leopard beast rubbed its paws and said hesitantly, "At the bottom of the lake?"
Lin Qingyue frowned: "Why is it at the bottom of the lake?"
The leopard beast said, "He floated here on his own before. You know what the Red Shadow Land is. Ghosts that can reach here are eaten alive as soon as they reach the outskirts. The remaining resentment gathers in the heart of the lake, day after day. I guard the center of this lake, which is considered a quiet place. Although nothing dares to disturb me, it is indeed boring. That day, I accidentally saw a ghost that could break through the encirclement of monsters. I was curious and detained him at the bottom of the lake to chat with me..."
"Just chatting with you?" Lin Qingyue clearly didn't believe the other person's words. "Tell the truth, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The leopard beast was also a guy who only liked the weak and feared the strong. After being yelled at by Lin Qingyue, it trembled all over and said, "Yes, I want to eat..."
"So you ate him?"
"No, no, no!" The leopard beast hurriedly explained, "I don't know what's wrong with that thing. It's clearly a remnant soul, but it can't be touched or eaten. It's still sleeping at the bottom of the lake."
The leopard beast actually felt a little regretful: "That is the cleanest and most beautiful soul I have seen in thousands of years. If only the original body was here, then I..."
Having said this, he secretly swallowed his saliva, and suddenly remembered that his life was still in Lin Qingyue's hands. He quickly straightened his expression: "Ah, I don't want to eat anyone. I was just talking casually, really!"
Lin Qingyue looked like she was saying, "I don't believe you at all."
