Chapter 225 The one who deserves to die the most is you. ...
The evil spirit Chen Ge did not expect that Chen Yi would not be provoked by his words this time. In the past, every time he brought up this matter, there would be a flaw in Chen Yi's body, and he would be able to take the opportunity to suppress Chen Yi's soul.
It has always been like this for so many years.
The evil spirit looked at them and suddenly laughed. In the end, it broke free of the Immortal Binding Lock. "A mere Immortal Binding Lock, how could it bind me? Don't forget, you and I are one. How could I not break your magic?"
When the Immortal Binding Lock was broken, Immortal Lord Chenyi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Chen Yi, it looks like your time is running out."
"So what? How can I leave in peace if you don't die?" Immortal Lord Chenyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Ignoring Immortal Lord Chenyi, the evil spirit suddenly attacked Chaowu.
Asagiri hurriedly retreated, and the magic power that had just gathered in her palm suddenly dissipated. While she was stunned, the evil spirit grabbed her by the neck.
"Evil spirit, let her go!"
"Don't come any closer. If you do, I'll kill her." The evil spirit looked at Asagiri and laughed. "Your spiritual power seems to be fading."
"What's it to you? If you've got the guts, kill me!" Asagiri glared at the evil spirit.
"No, no, no, you can't die now. I can't bear to let you die now; I still have a great use for you." The evil spirit looked at Asagiri and laughed.
Immortal Lord Chenyi wanted to make a move, but suddenly his body became immobile.
"Evil spirit, what have you done?"
"If I had known you would take back your body, I would have done a little something to your physical body. I think you would have liked it."
"Despicable and shameless!" Asagiri cursed.
“Good boy, I’ve said it before, such words are clearly a compliment to someone like me.”
Just as the evil spirit was about to leave with Chaowu, Immortal Lord Chenyi tried to chase after it, but the evil spirit struck him with a backhand.
"You've been away from this body for so long, you should get used to it. I'll take this child with me."
Asagiri struggled desperately, but the more she tried to mobilize her spiritual power, the more her spiritual power dissipated, and she was unable to break free from the evil spirit's restraints.
Xiang Bei wanted to help, but was stopped. She looked at Zi Linglu behind her in confusion, "Are you just going to stand by and watch?"
Zi Ling remained silent, maintaining her meditative posture.
The evil spirit, carrying the morning mist, seemed to be heading somewhere unknown. On its way, it encountered Xuanwu, who had brought Shuyue with him.
Xuanwu clearly didn't recognize anything wrong with the Heavenly Emperor in front of him, but when Shuyue saw the evil spirit, she turned pale with fright and didn't dare to speak. She just tightly grabbed Xuanwu's sleeve.
Seeing Shuyue trembling with fear, Xuanwu turned his anger towards Chaowu.
"Asagiri, didn't I warn you? If you dare to sukotsu again..."
Before Xuanwu could finish speaking, the evil spirit struck him with a palm, knocking him back and snatching Shuyue away from him.
"Heavenly Emperor!"
Asagiri only heard Gengo's angry roar in her ear.
Shuyue's face also turned angry. "Heavenly Emperor, what are you doing? Why are you arresting me?"
"You idiots, you two sisters have ruined everything. If you weren't still useful to me, do you think you would still be talking to me like this?"
"Please, let us go," Lingxi also came out and said.
The evil spirits didn't speak, but led them to the God-Slaying Platform. They also tied up Asagiri and "Shuyue" and hung them on the platform.
The overwhelming hostility from the audience swept over them, burning their skin.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Asagiri asked, looking at the evil spirit.
The evil spirit did not answer, but gazed into the distance, as if waiting for someone to come.
"Here, this is it." The system found the plot corresponding to the current scene.
The original text also describes a scene where Asagiri and Sogetsu are captured at the same time, and then a choice is made between the two.
However, the cause and effect in the original text are completely different from the current situation. The evil spirit's actions are clearly not to advance the plot or test the protagonist's sincerity.
Soon, Xuanwu, Immortal Lord Chenyi, and Divine Lord Liujing arrived.
Xuanwu looked at Immortal Lord Chenyi, then at the evil spirit, his face still showing disbelief.
Seeing them arrive, the evil spirit laughed, "You're all here, which saves me the trouble of notifying you one by one."
"What exactly do you want? Release them at once!" Immortal Lord Chenyi shouted.
“What do I want to do? Don’t you know? I just want to destroy this damned Three Realms. There are no more hypocritical gods in this world than you. Didn’t you want to exterminate me back then? Wouldn’t it have been better to release those ancient demons? Let them out and completely destroy this Three Realms.”
The evil spirit looked at the three people in front of it, especially Immortal Lord Chenyi, with endless hatred in its eyes. "Only a God-King can break the Demon-Subduing Seal. I was created by you, and we were originally one person, but you won't let me use your divine power. Otherwise, I would have broken that seal long ago. This Three Realms would have no reason to exist."
"If you act this way, where will you place all living beings in the Three Realms?"
"What do the beings of the Three Realms have to do with me? Just because I am your evil spirit, everyone thinks I am the demon. Why am I the one being driven and hunted down? Chen Yi, the one who deserves to die is clearly you. You can remove the evil thoughts from your body and still be a beautiful god, while I have to be driven to extinction."
The evil spirit looked at them, then at Asagiri and Sogetsu behind him, and laughed, "If you don't break the seal today, I will kill them both."
"You must not harm Shuyue," Xuanwu stepped forward and said.
The evil spirit looked at him mockingly, "Then go and break the Demon-Subduing Seal, and I will naturally let her go."
Xuanwu hesitated, as if he was considering the evil spirit's words.
"Xuanwu, what are you thinking? As a god-king, don't you know what will happen if you break the Demon-Subduing Seal?"
Lord Liujing never expected that Xuanwu would be so muddle-headed at a time like this.
“Why not do it for the sake of Shuyue?” Xuanwu said to Liujing Divine Lord.
Xiang Bei couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Seriously, what's wrong with this male lead? He doesn't help when he should, and he just makes things worse when he shouldn't."
After saying that, she turned to look at Zi Ling and said, "Can't you really put your unlucky son back in? Gods can reverse time, right? Why don't you turn back time and not have this son?"
The spirit did not speak or make any sound.
Xiang Bei turned her head to look at the big screen again.
Judging from Xuanwu's expression, it seems he really intends to make a move.
Lingxi kept shaking her head at Xuanwu, "No, Divine Lord, you can't do that, don't listen to him."
"Ah Yue, I've already lost you once, I can't lose you again. Without you, what use is this Three Realms to me?"
“But once the Demon-Subduing Seal is broken, the Three Realms will also suffer. Divine Lord, I have wronged you. I am not Shuyue, nor am I worthy of your doing this. I do not want the Divine Lord to become a sinner of the Three Realms because of me.”
"Fool, who else are you but Shuyue? Don't be afraid, no matter what happens to the Three Realms, I will protect you."
Chaowu, listening nearby, rolled her eyes. She took a deep breath and roared at Xuanwu, "Xuanwu, you idiot! The Demon-Subduing Seal is where Father God tried every means to seal away the ancient demons. What do you think you are? You only have a trace of blood from Father God and Mother God. You are neither Father God himself nor Mother God's divine power. Do you think you can defeat the ancient demons just because you have a mouth?"
"Shut up!"
"You're the one who should shut up. You're a shameless and incompetent piece of trash. What are you pretending to be, a sentimental man? If I had to choose, I'd make you jump off this God-Slaying Platform."
"You! You!" Xuanwu was so angry at Chaowu that he couldn't speak.
Asagiri ignored him and turned to the evil spirit, saying, "If you kill me now, only I will die. If you break the seal and release the demons, even if you release me, I won't live for long. Why do such a pointless thing? In the end, we're all going to die anyway. Does it matter how we die?"
"Shut up, or I'll kill you," the evil spirit threatened, grabbing Asagiri's neck.
"If you're so capable, then kill me right now."
The evil spirit looked at Asagiri, suddenly laughed, then reached out and grabbed "Shuyue" by the neck, looking at Xuanwu, "If you really don't want to, then I'll kill her now."
"Don't hurt her!"
"My Lord, don't listen to him!" Shuyue struggled desperately.
With just a slight exertion of force, the evil spirit choked "Shuyue" unconscious.
"Stop! Let her go! Don't hurt Shuyue anymore!" Xuanwu tried to step forward to stop them, but the evil spirit could easily throw Shuyue off the God-Slaying Platform with the slightest movement.
Seeing Xuanwu's wholehearted concern for Shuyue, the evil spirit couldn't help but laugh.
"What a foolish, infatuated woman! If you truly wish to save her, then open the Demon-Subduing Seal now. What will you choose? Your beloved woman, or the Three Realms?"
"Xuanwu, don't fall for his tricks!" Immortal Lord Chenyi shouted, his face growing increasingly pale.
Liu Jing, the God-King, reached out to support him and looked at Xuan Wu, saying, "This is his conspiracy, Xuan Wu. As a God-King, you should also shoulder the responsibilities of a God-King."
Seeing that they were arguing, the evil spirit revealed a smug smile, "Since that's the case, then both of them can die."
The evil spirit threw Shuyue and Chaowu off the God-Slaying Platform.
Xuanwu jumped down immediately and caught "Shuyue" in his arms. Fortunately, Immortal Lord Chenyi grabbed him and prevented him from falling. Xuanwu's body was corrupted by malevolent energy, but he protected "Shuyue" very well.
"My Lord, the Goddess Asagiri, she..."
Xuanwu interrupted Shuyue, saying, "Ignore her."
"No, she is the real Shu..."
“Ah Yue, to me, you are the most important person.” Xuanwu interrupted Shuyue again.
Liujing God Lord stood on the God-Slaying Platform, looking at the churning malevolent energy below, where Chaowu's figure had long since disappeared.
"It's my fault for not catching her; it's my fault that she was harmed," said Immortal Lord Chenyi, his face deathly pale.
The malevolent aura blocked his vision; he thought he had caught Chaowu, but it turned out to be Xuanwu.
"Oh no, oh no, system, is the female lead going to die?" Xiang Bei said nervously, clutching her chest.
Even knowing that the original text said the female protagonist would break the seal on her body if she fell off the God-Slaying Platform, I still felt worried when I actually saw it.
"No, Asagiri will definitely be fine."
The system spoke calmly, but it was anything but calm inside. The plot had already fallen apart like this; who knew what would happen next?
But Zi Ling remained calm, as if it were none of her business.
Just as they were speculating, a sword aura slashed through the sky and flew towards the God-Slaying Platform.
"That's... the Wujiu Sword?" Chen Yi looked at the Wujiu Sword flying towards him from above, his expression somewhat shocked.
The Wujiu Sword circled in the air a few times, seemingly searching for something. When Xuanwu reached out his hand towards the Wujiu Sword, it finally found its target.
Seeing that the Sword of No Blame ignored him and flew towards the God-Slaying Platform, Xuanwu's eyes were bloodshot.
He was actually ignored by Wujiu Sword.
Just then, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from beneath the God-Slaying Platform, forcing the evil spirits to retreat repeatedly.
Looking at the golden light, they all felt a familiar aura.
When Xuanwu sensed whose aura it was, his expression suddenly changed. The aura beneath the God-Slaying Platform belonged to Shuyue, so who was this Shuyue beside him?
Xuanwu glanced at "Shuyue" beside him, then looked at the God-Slaying Platform, and subconsciously walked over there.
The golden light before them grew increasingly dazzling, forcing everyone to raise their hands to shield their eyes. Even the malevolent energy retreated in its glow.
The spirit opened its eyes and suddenly said, "It's here."
Xiang Bei looked confused. "Who's here?"
"Host, look!" the system screamed in response.
Outside the large screen, accompanied by golden light, the person holding the Wujiu Sword walked up from below the God-Slaying Platform, which was none other than Chaowu.
The moment she fell, Chaowu was dragged down by the thousands of malevolent energies. Those energies wanted to erode her, but unexpectedly broke the seal that her parents had placed on her.
The spiritual energy that had previously disappeared instantly filled her entire body.
Just as she was thinking about how to get up, the Sword of No Blame came flying through the air. She used the Sword of No Blame to dispel the malevolent energy and managed to get up alive from under the God-Slaying Platform.
"How could you? How is this possible?" Even the evil spirit couldn't believe that Asagiri could actually return alive from the God-Slaying Platform.
It even inadvertently restored all of her magical power.
Looking at the living, breathing Asagiri standing there, Lord Liujing could no longer hold back his tears.
"I'm so glad you're alright."
"Aunt, I'm sorry for making you worry."
The malevolent aura beneath the God-Slaying Platform not only broke the seal on Asagiri's body but also reminded her of some forgotten memories.
Back then, that evil spirit tricked her out by posing as Immortal Lord Chenyi, and then used her to blackmail her father and mother into breaking the seal. In the end, they were forced to burn their own bodies to repair the seal.
Seeing that his parents had ruined his plan, the evil spirit even wanted to kill her and use her blood to break the seal. Unexpectedly, Aunt Liujing arrived, and he continued to pretend to be Immortal Lord Chenyi, thus deceiving Aunt Liujing.
To prevent herself from waking up and telling everyone the truth, she sealed away her memories.
Later, she was raised by Uncle Chenyi and Aunt Liujing until Uncle Chenyi's body was taken over by an evil spirit. Although she didn't know it was an evil spirit, she was still a little afraid of him.
She strongly dislikes evil spirits.
However, the evil spirit still found an opportunity. During the Lingshan Dharma Assembly, the evil spirit cast an illusion on her. What she saw was not a Lingyoutan, but a man-eating flower. She saw that the flower was eating people, which is why she attacked.
In her eyes, it was the man-eating flower that was burned, not the Spirit Udumbara. When the celestial officials arrived, what they saw was the burned Spirit Udumbara.
The evil spirit took the opportunity to imprison her under the guise of the Heavenly Emperor, saying it would give Mount Ling an explanation.
The evil spirit deceived Qingyue, saying that if the truth were revealed, Aunt Liujing and Uncle Chenyi would die, so she had to sacrifice herself.
Qingyue was tormented, but in the end he decided to escape with her. He thought that as long as he hid her, he could protect everyone.
At that time, Qingyue's brother had no idea that the evil spirit had intended to eliminate them both from the very beginning. When she followed Qingyue halfway and realized something was wrong and wanted to turn back, Qingyue's brother suddenly collapsed.
The last two words he left her before he died were, "Go quickly!"
At that time, she didn't know why Qingyue had suddenly died. Everyone said that she had killed her brother Qingyue, so she was imprisoned back in the prison and placed under strict guard.
At that time, she could never understand why the man-eating flower she saw turned into a spirit unicorn, and why her brother Qingyue died.
It wasn't until the evil spirit impersonated Uncle Chenyi to visit her in the Heavenly Prison and told her that Aunt Liujing had gone mad while cultivating and secretly killed Brother Qingyue, and even fabricated false evidence to show her.
She was so panicked and disoriented that she had no time to distinguish between truth and falsehood. She was afraid that if she told the truth, it would implicate her Aunt Liujing.
The evil spirit even showed her Aunt Liujing's demonic possession, forcing her to believe it.
Looking back now, it was all just an illusion created by the evil spirit. Although she had regained some memories before, she still couldn't remember the most crucial things until just now when the evil spirit threw her off the God-Slaying Platform, breaking the seal on her body, and she remembered everything.
"How could you be so foolish?" Lord Liujing looked at Chaowu, never expecting such a thing to have happened back then.
"I'm sorry, Aunt. If I had asked you earlier, I wouldn't have been deceived by him."
“What does this have to do with you? You yourself said you were worried about me and panicked.”
The evil spirits would exploit their weaknesses. At that time, Shuyue was first tricked into burning her spirit buds, then she saw Qingyue die in front of her, and finally she learned that she had gone mad. With one thing after another happening, how could she possibly stay calm?
That evil spirit clearly took advantage of this to make Shuyue suffer the lightning punishment and die.
Fortunately, she never believed that Shuyue would kill Qingyue. Even though she didn't say anything at the time, she felt that Shuyue had some unspeakable reason.
Asagiri pointed the Wujiu Sword at the evil spirit, saying, "The one who deserves to die the most is you."
The evil spirit laughed indifferently, "You remember everything now? Good, it'll save you from dying without knowing why."
Xuanwu, on the other hand, staggered back two steps when he saw Chaowu's face clearly. The person holding the Wujiu Sword left by the Mother Goddess was, no matter how he looked at it, the Chaowu who he found disgusting.
He looked utterly incredulous. "How could it be you? How could it possibly be you?"
Even the aura surrounding her was that of Shuyue.
But her face was clearly like morning mist.
