Chapter 226 No matter who you put yourself in, it feels disgusting...
Xuanwu turned his head and saw "Shuyue" walking towards him. Before his smile could even appear, "Shuyue" came over, took his hand, and said apologetically, "Awu, I'm sorry, Chaowu is the true Goddess Shuyue, I..."
"Ah Yue, what nonsense are you spouting? Aren't you Shu Yue?"
"That's not it. I... I'm just a flower spirit transformed from the aura of the goddess Shuyue. I'm not the real Shuyue. It was that evil spirit who made me stay by your side. I never expected to develop feelings for you. Awu, I'm sorry, I deceived you."
"You must be lying to me, right? Yue, you must be lying to me. I know, you're testing my sincerity. You still resent me for not helping you back then, don't you?"
"No, no, what I said is true. I lied to you. My name is Lingxi, and I am not the Goddess Shuyue." Lingxi kept shaking her head, trying to make Xuanwu believe her.
Xuanwu pulled Lingxi into his arms, saying, "Ayue, you are my Ayue, I won't mistake you for someone else."
“She is not Shuyue, Chaowu is the real Shuyue.” Lord Liujing could no longer bear to look at Xuanwu’s self-deceiving appearance.
"Back then, Chen Yi and I tried to secretly save Shuyue, but you suddenly attacked, using the strand of your hair that Shuyue carried to tear away her soul, almost causing her to be completely destroyed. Xuanwu, you are a god-king, can't you really see what Shuyue's true form looks like?"
Liu Jing Shenjun's words struck Xuan Wu's heart like a heavy blow.
How could he not recognize her? He simply sensed Shuyue's aura on Lingxi, so he told himself that Shuyue had just happened to be reincarnated as a flower spirit in this life.
"Ah Wu, I'm sorry, actually I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xuanwu shoved Shuyue away.
Yes, they were all lying to him, even Shuyue was lying to him.
He still didn't believe that Asagiri was the real Sogetsu.
“Shuyue loves me so much. If she comes back, she will definitely come to find me. She was willing to die for me. How could she be like Chaowu? Don’t try to fool me.”
Asagiri looked at Gengo and said, "Shuyue has never loved you. Her relentless pursuit of you, her various expressions of affection for you, including collecting strands of your hair and hiding them in her bosom, were all because she was under a spell cast by an evil spirit. She was only controlled by the spell to like you; she herself never loved you."
If she hadn't been controlled, how could Shuyue have fallen in love with Xuanwu after just one glance, and even been willing to die for him because of that one look?
Even now that Asagiri has fully regained her memories, she finds such feelings incomprehensible.
Xuanwu, his eyes bloodshot, glared at everyone present. “Lies! You’re lying! You’re all lying to me! Shuyue has no way of cultivating. How could she be that useless Shuyue? How could she make the Wujiu Sword willingly acknowledge her as its master? That sword was clearly given to me by the Mother Goddess. It’s my sword.”
Asagiri looked at him, "Do you truly love Sogetsu? So much so that you'd be willing to destroy the Three Realms for her?"
“Yes, I love her.” Xuanwu pulled Lingxi, who was standing next to him, over.
"No, you don't love her at all. You just enjoy having a good-for-nothing you look down on chasing after you, refusing to leave no matter how you try to drive her away, and even doing all sorts of embarrassing things for you. In the end, you didn't love Shuyue when she was alive, but after she died, you pretended to be deeply in love. Your love was just lip service. You did all sorts of foolish things for your so-called love. Is that really love?"
"This is love!" Xuanwu retorted, unconvinced.
Looking at Xuanwu's appearance, the evil spirit suddenly laughed and whispered, "Not enough, still not enough! Be even angrier!"
Immortal Lord Chenyi looked at the evil spirit beside him and immediately said, "Xuanwu, calm down and don't fall into the evil spirit's trap. Chaowu, don't provoke him, or the evil spirit will exploit his weakness."
Asagiri looked at Gengo and sighed, "Gengo, you..."
"Hahahaha, Xuanwu, you are such a pathetic wretch! You are clearly the bloodline of the Father God and Mother God, yet the Wujiu Sword left by the Mother God doesn't acknowledge you. Don't you hate it? Even the woman you love is a fake. You have every right to hate!" The evil spirit suddenly spoke, interrupting Chaowu's words.
"Xuanwu, calm down!" Chen Yi said again.
Xuanwu couldn't listen to anything at this moment. His gaze swept over everyone, and when he saw the Wujiu Sword in Chaowu's hand, he felt nothing but endless rage.
Wujiu Sword chose to acknowledge someone else as its master, even Shuyue was a fake.
Everything was fake; these people were all lying to him.
Xuanwu barely retained a sliver of reason. He pointed at Chaowu and said, "You must have used some tricks to steal Shuyue's things to deceive me, and even tricked Wujiu Sword into acknowledging you as its master! That must be it! Don't even think about fooling me. I will not be deceived by you. Absolutely not!"
"Even now, you're still deceiving yourself, Xuanwu. Wake up! You've mistaken the woman you love. You're so useless that even the Wujiu Sword won't acknowledge you as its master. Nobody here will take you seriously," the evil spirit continued to provoke.
"No! That's not how it is."
"That's it. You clearly know it in your heart, but you just can't believe you've mistaken someone for someone else. Even the Wujiu Sword, which you cherish as your own, has chosen a piece of trash that you despise from the bottom of your heart. Xuanwu, are you really willing to accept this?"
Looking at Xuanwu's crazed state, the evil spirit spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Do you hate it? You were clearly the one who should have become the ruler of the Three Realms, but the Mother Goddess left you with this test. Now that sword has chosen to recognize another as its master; it has abandoned you, which is equivalent to the Mother Goddess abandoning you as well."
"Shut up! Shut up! Don't say anymore," Xuanwu said, clutching his head in pain.
“I know you don’t want to hear this, but Xuanwu, I can help you. As long as you lend me your body, I can help you take revenge and retrieve the Wujiu Sword. I will help you become the ruler of the Three Realms and keep Shuyue by your side forever, so that she can only have you.”
Xuanwu looked up at the evil spirit, as if asking, "Is what you said true?"
Asagiri sensed something was wrong and swung the Wujiu Sword at the evil spirit. However, the evil spirit instantly transformed into a beam of light and entered Xuanwu's body through his forehead.
"No good, stop him quickly!" Immortal Lord Chenyi tried to capture the evil spirit, but Xuanwu struck him on the shoulder with a palm strike.
"Chen Yi." Divine Lord Liu Jing stepped forward to support Immortal Lord Chen Yi, preventing him from falling to the ground.
For a fleeting moment, Immortal Lord Chenyi's physical body began to disintegrate, and his once black hair instantly turned white.
"Chen Ge, you still want to run away?" Immortal Lord Chen Yi disregarded everything else and forced himself to step forward to stop the evil spirit that wanted to escape.
But it was too late. Xuanwu's expression changed instantly. He looked at Chenyi and laughed, then looked at his own hands, his smile becoming even more pronounced.
“Chen Yi, it’s too late. His body is more suitable for me. He truly deserves to be the child of the Father God and Mother God. As long as he is willing to offer his soul to me, I will rule the Three Realms.”
"Xuanwu, wake up! You are the God of War of the God Realm. Your duty is to protect the peace of the God Realm. How could you stoop so low as to associate with evil spirits?"
As Immortal Lord Chenyi spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Don't waste your energy, he can't hear you. His heart is filled with hatred, he hates everything in the world. Chen Yi, I think your time is running out, so enjoy your last moments."
A sword aura slashed through the air, almost hitting Xuanwu. When the evil spirit manipulated Xuanwu's body to dodge, he was in a somewhat disheveled state.
"What? Do you want to kill your former lover?"
"Enough talk, get out of his body." Asagiri pointed her sword at Gengo.
"Is this a case of lingering feelings for an old flame?"
Asagiri didn't waste any words with the evil spirits and directly attacked with the Wujiu Sword. The benefit of breaking the seal was that she no longer had to worry about her spiritual power disappearing inexplicably.
Even the Wujiu Sword contains unparalleled spiritual power.
“Although the evil spirit has entered Xuanwu’s body, they have not yet truly merged together. As long as we take this opportunity to force the evil spirit out, Xuanwu can still be saved,” Chen Yi said from the side.
His hair had turned completely white, and he couldn't even stand up straight before collapsing to the ground.
Liu Jing Shenjun hugged him. Although he didn't say what had happened, looking at his hair and his weak, almost uncontrollable breath, he could guess that Chen Yi's body had reached its limit.
Just as Immortal Lord Chenyi reached out to form a hand seal, Divine Lord Liujing quickly pressed his hand down, "No!"
"Liu Jing." Immortal Lord Chen Yi simply looked at Divine Lord Liu Jing and gently shook his head at her.
Even without explicit words, a single glance is enough for a husband and wife to understand each other's meaning.
Liu Jing Shenjun closed his eyes, tears sliding down his cheeks, and released his hand from Chen Yi Xianjun's wrist.
The evil spirit that was fighting with Asagiri suddenly paused, and taking advantage of this moment, Asagiri stabbed Gengo in the chest with her sword.
Immortal Lord Chenyi coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Xuanwu, wake up! Open your eyes and look! Is this what you, as a god, want to see? Xuanwu, wake up!"
Xuanwu's expression changed slightly. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the morning mist in front of him.
"Are you willing to accept this? When you wake up, you will face the contempt of the entire Three Realms. As the child of the Father God and Mother God, as the God of War of the God Realm, you are not the one chosen by the Sword of No Blame."
The evil spirit's words echoed in his mind, and Xuanwu slowly closed his eyes again, as the evil spirit once again took over his body.
Seeing that Chen Yi was still trying to awaken Xuanwu, the evil spirit broke free from the restraints imposed by Chen Yi and sneered, "Chen Yi, don't forget, you and I are one. Even if you separate from me, if I die, you won't live either."
Immortal Lord Chenyi gathered his strength and unleashed a powerful palm strike at the evil spirit, saying, "So what if we perish together?"
"Don't you even care about Xuanwu's life? If I die inside his body, he will die too."
Upon seeing a black mark appear on Xuanwu's brow, Immortal Lord Chenyi's expression suddenly changed. "Chaowu, he's absorbing Xuanwu's soul! Stop him!"
Asagiri swung her sword again, but the evil spirit grabbed Lingxi beside her and shielded her in front of it.
"If you can bring yourself to kill Xuanwu, can you also bring yourself to kill this Hualing?"
Asagiri's sword hovered in mid-air, watching the evil spirit reveal a smug smile to her.
Ling Xi's expression suddenly changed. She looked at the Wujiu Sword, which was only an inch away from her, and said urgently, "Your Majesty, I am Ling Jin. I am loyal to you. Please don't kill me."
The evil spirit remained silent. Whether it was Ling Xi or Ling Jin, they were merely pawns he used, and now these pawns were no longer of any use to him.
Immortal Lord Chenyi muttered something under his breath, and as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, Xuanwu abruptly released Lingxi, and a surge of black energy erupted from his body.
Asagiri swung her sword and slashed, followed by a scream and a wisp of black smoke that quickly fled.
Xuanwu also fell headfirst down.
As the evil spirit disappeared, Immortal Lord Chenyi swayed and fell backward.
"Chen Yi." Lord Liu Jing quickly supported his arm. "How are you?"
"Liu Jing, I'm sorry. I made you deal with that evil spirit alone for so long. It's my fault. I'm the one who harmed Senior Brother Chong Shi and Senior Sister Ling Shuang, and I'm the one who deserves to die."
"Don't say that, don't speak. There will definitely be a way to save you, there will be."
Immortal Lord Chenyi shook his head at Divine Lord Liujing. What could be done? If he hadn't been so greedy and reckless, there wouldn't have been any evil spirits, and he wouldn't have had to resort to divination. All of this was his retribution.
The evil spirit fled, and Immortal Lord Chenyi felt his own form slowly dissipating. Morning Mist channeled some spiritual energy into him, preventing his soul from collapsing, but his body remained very weak.
Even breathing is difficult.
"Why bother?" Immortal Lord Chenyi looked at Chaowu and gave a smile.
He can't maintain even a little spiritual power for long; it's only a matter of time before his soul dissipates.
"Uncle, don't say that. It will hurt Aunt's feelings. Don't make her sad anymore."
Immortal Lord Chenyi's gaze fell on the Wujiu Sword in her hand, and he smiled weakly. "Chaowu, Mother Goddess once said that whoever can draw the Wujiu Sword will be the ruler of the Three Realms. The Three Realms are now in your hands. I am an unqualified Heavenly Emperor and cannot teach you anything. I hope you will take my experience as a warning."
"Uncle, it will be alright. I will definitely find the evil spirit and destroy it completely. You will be fine."
Immortal Lord Chenyi shook his head and was speaking when Xuanwu, who was lying on the ground, woke up.
There was still some confusion in his eyes, as if he couldn't remember what had happened.
"Ah Wu, Ah Wu, you're finally awake! It's so good that you're alright." Ling Xi looked at Xuan Wu who had woken up and burst into tears of joy.
Xuanwu was stunned for a long time, and seemed to finally realize what had just happened. He ignored Lingxi and got up to walk towards Chaowu.
“Shuyue”.
"Lord Xuanwu." Chaowu nodded to the other party, her expression not changing much.
Seeing Chaowu's calm expression, Xuanwu paused for a moment before speaking, "Those words just now were not my true feelings; it was that evil spirit that bewitched me."
"Your Majesty need not concern yourself. What you think is none of my business."
"How could it have nothing to do with you, Shuyue? The only person I've ever loved is you."
[Lying? How could true love mistake someone for someone else? Besides, he's already married to someone else, and he's saying these things to another person in front of his wife. No matter who you are in his shoes, it's disgusting.]
When Asagiri saw the words drifting over and read Xiang Beisanxian's words, she suddenly felt a sense of peace.
As expected, Xiang Bei Sanxian understands her best.
His gaze fell on Lingxi, who was pale-faced behind him, and then on Xuanwu's face. He felt that all of this was really absurd.
"Xuanwu, do you know what you're doing?"
"I know I'm sorry for mistaking you for someone else. But I didn't know she wasn't you. Back then, I clearly brought your soul down to the mortal realm. That was indeed the body I chose for you. I always thought it was you, Shuyue. I truly only love you."
Asagiri stood up, walked over and slapped Gengo, asking, "Are you awake now?"
Xuanwu rubbed his cheek and laughed, "As long as you forgive me, you can hit me however you want."
[My God, he really enjoyed beating him up. I can't bear to watch, his smile is so greasy.]
"Xuanwu, you're a real scoundrel. Have you forgotten that you're married? You're saying these things to me in front of your wife. Don't you feel disgusted? I do."
Xuanwu glanced at Shuyue, who was walking over, with disgust. "She deceived me first. I don't think I've done anything wrong to her. Shuyue, you're too kind. She's the one who broke us up."
Asagiri clenched her fist and slammed it directly at Gengo.
Her magical power is now vastly different from before; that punch was truly beyond what Xuanwu could withstand.
"Since you've chosen your lover, then treat her well. Xuanwu, our past is the past. If you continue to be so shameless, don't blame me for being ruthless." Chaowu's sword was already at Xuanwu's neck.
Xuanwu gave a bitter smile. "It's understandable that you hate me. I thought she was you, so I married her. Because she has your memories and knows about our relationship, I was deceived by her."
"Enough, stop talking. Those things have nothing to do with me anymore, Xuanwu. Don't bring up the past." Chaowu rejected Xuanwu again.
Even Xiang Bei couldn't help but look at Zi Ling, "How did you come up with this thing? Look at it, it can't even understand human language, so communication is really difficult."
Zi Ling didn't speak. She opened her eyes and looked at the big screen. When her gaze fell on Xuan Wu, she frowned slightly, and then closed her eyes again.
Outside the big screen, Xuanwu was still going crazy, "Shuyue, I don't believe you really have no feelings for me at all. What you're holding is the Wujiu Sword left by the Mother Goddess. This was originally left to me by the Mother Goddess. Now that this sword recognizes you, it's the same for me. This means that the Mother Goddess also approves of you as my wife."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xuanwu flew out.
He flew away so suddenly that no one around him could react. After Lingxi came to her senses, she quickly chased after Xuanwu in the direction he had flown off.
Asagiri turned around and saw that Lord Ryukyou was looking at her in surprise. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Aunt, don't look at me like that. I didn't do it."
Xiang Bei turned to look at Zi Ling, who was sitting cross-legged there, and exchanged a glance with the system, confirming her thoughts.
She said it herself, anyone would be upset to hear that awful person say such things.
Even the Mother Goddess couldn't stand Xuanwu's confident statement; he got a beating for it.
Chaowu ignored Xuanwu, who had flown away. It wasn't her or Aunt Liujing who did it; it was probably Xiang Beisanxian who did it.
Knowing what Asagiri was thinking, Xiang Bei helplessly spread her hands, "It really wasn't me."
