In the forbidden land of the demon world.
Xu Jinyi looked at the prophecy on the wall in horror.
From the mural of her first time accepting Mo Ze as her disciple in the sect, to their retreat and cultivation together, to the mural of Mo Ze stealing a kiss from her for the first time in the inn during the Ghost Festival.
Then Mo Ze lost control and attacked Zi Xi Daojun, and then returned to the demon world.
Each mural depicts something that actually happened.
The mural behind made Xu Jinyi's heart tremble.
In the painting, she took the dagger in the space that could cut through iron like mud and stabbed it into Mo Ze's chest with her own hands.
There was blood all over the bed, and the scene was horrifying.
Looking back, Xu Jinyi's eyes froze.
When she came out of the forbidden area with the help of Xiao Qi, her expression had returned to normal and nothing could be seen.
Mo Ze was not disappointed when he learned that he didn't find anything inside that could deal with the demon.
Instead, he comforted Xu Jinyi: "It's okay, Master, don't worry, isn't he fine now?"
"If one day I can't control him anymore, Master, you must stay away from me. Otherwise, don't hold back and kill me."
Xu Jinyi covered his mouth: "There must be a way."
Mo Ze took her hand and kissed it gently: "Actually, I should have died three hundred years ago. Meeting Master is already a stolen time for me."
"I'm not afraid of death, I just can't bear to leave you. I really can't bear to leave you."
"The years are so long, but we have only been in love for such a short time, not even a mortal's lifetime."
"If I could choose, I would rather be an ordinary person."
Xu Jinyi's eyes were filled with tears as she hugged him and listened to his steady heartbeat.
She gently placed her hand on his heart and whispered, "Does it hurt?"
Mo Ze was startled for a moment, then smiled: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
He knew in his heart that Xu Jinyi had not explored his memory, but what happened three hundred years ago was not a secret, so it was not surprising that his master knew about it.
Xu Jinyi blinked, thinking of the heart-wrenching expression on his face when his heart was being torn out, and she burst into tears with heartache.
When he thought about the pain he would have to endure again, he couldn't stop crying.
"Master, don't cry. It really doesn't hurt anymore." Mo Ze gently kissed away the tears on her face.
Xu Jinyi's hand remained on Mo Ze's chest: "Master will not let any of those who hurt you go. Let's go and take revenge."
Mo Ze looked up at her and touched her hair: "Don't let those people dirty your hands. When you enter the forbidden area, I have arranged for people to take action."
"The Xiaoyao Sect, the Kunlun Sect, those independent cultivators, and that ancient family, none of them will be spared." Mo Ze half-narrowed his eyes, with a sinister and murderous look in his eyes.
Xu Jinyi nodded, but suddenly noticed that the Soul Eater was moving unusually, and his eyes became fierce.
"Mo Ze, can you tell me what happened on the day you were nailed to the pillar?"
Mo Ze's face instantly turned ugly and his body tensed up.
After a long moment, he finally spoke, his tone bitter: "Actually, I am a monster born from the union of a human and a demon. I was tricked and captured three hundred years ago because of my brother."
Brother?!
Xu Jinyi suddenly thought of that ancient family and the man in the cloak on the mural who cut Mo Zexin with his own hands.
"Although we are born from the same mother, we are completely different. I was born with demonic bones and was a demon by nature, but he is just an ordinary person."
"I've always envied his ordinary life, growing up under his mother's care. Little did I know that while I was envious of him, he was also jealous of me for possessing such powerful strength and eternal life."
"I took control of the entire demon clan when I was thirteen, and I haven't seen my brother since then."
"I always thought he was like an ordinary mortal, and his lifespan had long since come to an end. I didn't realize he had harbored resentment towards me for decades."
"I don't know where he learned some unorthodox methods to survive, but his face has become neither human nor ghost."
"Even though he lost his looks, he didn't give up on eternal life."
"So he teamed up with those righteous people to tear out your heart, just to stay alive." Xu Jinyi said.
Mo Ze kissed her cheek and laughed at himself: "When I was happy that there was still a brother in this world who was related to me by blood."
"He has long hated me to the core. He yearns for eternal life, but he doesn't know that I have long hated this world."
"Actually, if he wants eternal life and wants my position, he can just say it directly."
"After ripping my heart out, he didn't want me to die so quickly, so he used a secret technique to keep me alive, torturing me with the Demonic Blade every day."
"He used a blunt knife to cut my flesh. He wanted me to die in agony, but he didn't expect me to escape."
Xu Jinyi hugged him and patted his back gently: "You will have me in the future."
A touch of warmth flashed through Mo Ze's heart: "I no longer expect family affection or anything like that. Having you is enough for me."
Xu Jinyi nodded.
But I was thinking in my heart, Mo Ze, even if you die, I will be with you and will not let you be alone.
Mo Ze continued, "I entered the ruins of the great war between gods and demons, thinking I would die there. I never imagined that I would open my eyes one day."
"After waking up, I found that my lost heart had returned, but it was severely injured and most of my cultivation had been lost."
"I didn't suspect anything at the time. It wasn't until a few years ago when a voice appeared in my head that I learned of the existence of the demon."
Xu Jinyi's nose felt sore. "It was at the site of the ruins of the great war between gods and demons. That was when the demon took possession of you."
"And the carrier—"
Mo Ze's expression suddenly changed, and he sneered, "Hahaha, you're quite capable to guess it was me."
Xu Jinyi's face was filled with shock. He took a half step back, made defensive movements, and stared seriously at Mo Ze, whose aura had changed.
"Demon God?!"
"Heh—how long do you think you can trap me? If you had discovered it earlier, you might have been able to save him. What a pity—"
Xu Jinyi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, her gaze filled with murderous intent: "With me here, your conspiracy will not succeed. I will never let you occupy Mo Ze's body."
The Demon God laughed arrogantly: "Do you think there is anyone in this world who can stop me now? The Demon God's return is just around the corner, hahahaha——"
Xu Jinyi snorted coldly: "You won't succeed. As long as your carrier is destroyed before you succeed, you will disappear forever in the world."
"You want to destroy the world, impossible?"
The demon god was shocked and looked at Xu Jinyi: "Who are you? How did you know I wanted to destroy the world? Even Mo Ze doesn't know my true purpose. Who are you?"
"Are you not dead?! Have you been reincarnated?"
The demon's tone became flustered and filled with fear.
This also confirmed Xu Jinyi's guess that only by digging out Mo Ze's heart would the demon be completely destroyed.
