The nights of the next few days were very quiet, and Xia Feng practiced with peace of mind. He had not used up all the treasures he had taken from the Demon Cult's treasure house, so he took this opportunity to practice more, and his progress was rapid.
But someone came to visit again that night, and the visitor went straight into the house. Xia Feng looked at the visitor, who was wearing a familiar red dress and mask.
She just stood in front of the window, with her sword on her back, quietly looking at Xia Feng. Xia Feng raised his eyes and met hers. At this moment, she saw expressions of relief, pride, jealousy, etc.
If it weren't for her warning and her sudden stop during the battle, they would have been fighting by now.
"What brings you here?"
"Come and see what everyone is talking about, the martial artists whose behavior is comparable to that of the devil." The woman in red laughed.
"It's not in vain. Why don't you answer me why you told me those things?" Xia Feng stood up and walked to her side, looking at her at eye level, only to find that the woman in red was about the same height as her.
"Can't I be a good person and be kind?" The woman in red had a smile in her eyes.
Seeing that Xia Feng didn't believe it, he continued.
"In that case, I will tell you another secret."
"Do you know why there are so many people in the Demonic Church?"
"Because many of them are martial artists."
Xia Feng frowned, and the woman in red continued to explain.
"Some of them were apparently exterminated by the Demon Cult, but were actually secretly captured by the Demon Cult. After being manipulated, they had no choice but to surrender to the Demon Cult."
"Some were seemingly exterminated, but in reality, they had already joined the Demonic Cult. These were people who had secretly joined the Demonic Cult long ago."
"As for those corpses, they are the bodies of ordinary people, used to deceive people."
Xia Feng frowned even more tightly, "Is it because of the new leader of the Demon Cult?"
The red-dressed woman glanced at Xia Feng with admiration, "Ever since this new Demon Lord took the throne, the strength of the Demon Cult has undergone earth-shaking changes. He planned all of this beforehand, and he started stirring up trouble as soon as he took the throne."
"Who is this new leader of the evil cult?" Xia Feng was very curious.
The woman in red shook her head. "I've never seen the face of this new leader. I guess even some of the elders haven't seen him before."
Xia Feng originally wanted to ask whether the new leader could convince the people, but then he thought about the Demon Cult's style of doing things, which was to convince the people with fists, plus the people he brought with him.
"Then the previous Demon Lord died easily?" Xia Feng still wanted to find out more about the Demon Cult.
The woman in red looked out the window. The bright moonlight shone on the mask, making it look even more vibrant red.
"Actually, I'm also quite curious. The previous Demon Lord was easily defeated by the current one, and he even cut off a head in public. However, the previous Demon Lord's power was not low, yet he was defeated so easily. It's really suspicious."
"Has the current Demon Lord broken through to become a peerless master?" Xia Feng asked calmly.
The red-dressed woman shook her head again, "I once had the good fortune to meet a peerless master, but the current leader doesn't have that kind of aura.
The previous Demon Lord was also a top-tier expert, so the outcome between the two shouldn't be so easy to determine."
"Since the gap isn't that big, then he was ambushed, or the previous Demon Lord deliberately gave himself up and didn't want to live."
The woman in red smiled but said nothing.
"Since I'm here, I've brought a gift."
After saying that, he took out the sword behind him, looked at it with nostalgia, and then handed the sword to Xia Feng. Xia Feng recognized it at a glance as the Red Fire Sword.
Xia Feng was also stunned when she saw the sword. She really wanted to know the identity of the woman in red.
"Who are you?"
The woman in red looked at Xia Feng's face, trying to curl the corners of her mouth but finding it difficult, and she couldn't help but laugh at herself in her eyes.
"Just a nobody."
The disappointment in her words was obvious. She handed the sword in her hand back to Xia Feng. Xia Feng looked down at the sword, but was suddenly stunned by the two red wing marks on the wrist of the woman in red.
Suddenly, Xia Feng felt a sharp pain in her head, so painful that her stomach was churning. This was not a sudden pain caused by Xia Feng, but was caused by the original owner.
Xia Feng stared blankly at the mark under the moonlight and couldn't help shouting out those two words.
"elder sister."
Said in a trembling voice.
"sorry."
This is the original owner's instinct.
A memory that was sealed in the original owner's childhood was awakened, and this mark belonged to the original owner's biological sister Zhu Zi.
When the original owner saw the little red wings on his sister's wrist, he said that his sister would definitely be the phoenix of the Zhu family. This was God's arrangement.
The elder sister is three years older than the original owner. When the original owner was three years old, she went out to play with her elder sister and her father. Because they were playing and dragging their elder sister around, they were separated from their father by the crowd in the busy city.
Afterwards, he was kidnapped by a thief who was dressed in black as a member of the current Demon Cult.
When Zhu's father arrived, the man in black had hung the two sisters over the turbulent river.
The man in black smiled and asked Zhu's father to make a choice. He could only save one of his two daughters, and the other would have to watch helplessly as she fell into the fast-flowing river.
In the end, after a painful decision, Zhu's father chose the original owner. He watched his sister Zhu Zi being cut off the rope by the men in black and falling into the river. He only left with a sneer and strode away.
After that, no matter how hard Zhu's father searched in the river, he could not find his sister's body. The original owner also had a high fever because of this incident and kept muttering her sister Zhu Zi's name.
Zhu's father had no choice but to seal the original owner's memory. No other people in the Zhu family dared to mention his sister anymore. Gradually, there was no trace of his sister Zhu Zi in the house. The original owner also recovered, and this memory was completely sealed.
The woman in red, no, it was Zhu Zi, her eyes were red under the mask.
"I lived with hatred for thirteen years, just waiting for the day when he would know that his choice was wrong.
But I was thinking, what would you do if he chose me? "
"I lived with torment for thirteen years, wanting to ask him in person why, but he's dead. He's dead, and I no longer have an answer."
Zhu Zi's words were full of sadness and a hint of hatred. He couldn't help but close his eyes as he spoke. When he opened them again, hatred was in his eyes.
"When the Zhu family was in trouble, I was in seclusion cultivating. This was a secret order from the new Demon Lord. When I came out, the matter was already coming to an end. In the end, I only managed to capture the Scarlet Flame Sword."
"At first I wanted to sacrifice Luo Jian to the sword, but I ended up meeting you."
As the tone changed, the look he gave Xia Feng became complicated.
"I recognized you the first time I met you. I'm glad you're still alive, but I'm also a little jealous that you can live happily with your parents for so many years."
"That's why I couldn't control myself and attacked you."
Xia Feng didn't say anything, but just listened to Zhu Zi quietly.
"At the beginning, I thought that you were just a little girl who couldn't even beat me with one hand, and it was a foolish dream to think of revenge.
It would be better if I could cripple your martial arts and let you live a good life somewhere where no one knows you."
“But when your swordsmanship broke through, I felt that this little girl had something special, so I let you go for now.
Using your help to get rid of Luo Jian is also a good option."
"Then, when I saw you making rapid progress time and time again, even I couldn't catch up, I knew that my father's choice was right."
