Then, no matter how Xi Xingxue tried to resist with her spiritual energy, the demonic energy ignored her and flowed continuously into Yin Yue's body.
The demonic energy seeped into Yin Yue's body, rushing into his dantian. Intense pain instantly spread throughout his limbs and bones, and Yin Yue let out a painful groan.
He looked up and saw his master trying helplessly to stop the demonic energy, while the people around him took a step back in fear.
He hurriedly tried to suppress them with the spiritual energy within his body, forcing them to retreat, but when the demonic energy encountered the spiritual energy, it instead became frantically entangled with it, refusing to retreat an inch.
"What...what's going on? Sect Master Bai Ye, give us an explanation!"
The elders looked at Sect Master Bai Ye in surprise.
Because this demonic energy comes from the water mirror.
Sect Master Bai Ye's expression was extremely solemn. He made an expression of disbelief, swayed twice, and then let out a sharp cry.
"Yin Yue is a demon! Seize him!"
Wenren Ling's eyes flashed with hostility as he drew his sword: "How can you prove it? This water mirror is yours, this is utterly absurd!"
Sect Master Bai Ye said sternly, "I was careful. This is no ordinary water mirror, but a Demon-Seeing Mirror! If he is a demon, the demonic energy inside the mirror will surge into his body!"
After saying that, Sect Master Bai Ye raised his hand, and the water mirror in the air condensed into a palm-sized black mirror, which fell into his hand.
Many people recognized this mirror; it was the Demon-Seeking Mirror, listed on the Immortal Artifact Ranking in the cultivation world. Now, everyone was speechless.
Although Sect Master Bai Ye's unauthorized actions were despicable, the Demon-Seeing Mirror proved to be effective.
The Jade Maiden Sect Master sighed in disbelief, "I've heard that the purer the bloodline of a demon, the better their aptitude. When they don't cultivate demonic energy, they look no different from cultivators. Yin Yue... is probably one of those."
Many disciples were puzzled: "But the demon race disappeared a thousand years ago, so how was Yin Yue born?"
An older cultivator explained, "During the ancient demon war a thousand years ago, many unhatched demons were left behind. There must have been one or two that escaped and were not destroyed by the cultivators."
"Yin Yue... is he truly a demon!"
Shocked discussions rose and fell, cutting into Yin Yue's ears like knives.
But Yin Yue was not afraid of pain or the world's condemnation; he only cared about Xi Xingxue.
She looked up at him, a pale, faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
"Master, will you hate me?"
Xi Xingxue's pupils suddenly contracted.
It turns out... Yin Yue already knew his identity.
Looking at the expressions of the people around me, I saw shock, disbelief, fear, and dread.
Even if he had a thousand mouths, he could no longer turn black into white.
But is Yin Yue really black?
Xi Xingxue did not directly answer Yin Yue's question, but proved everything with her attitude.
His gaze was like needles, piercing everyone. "You all said it yourself, Yin Yue was born in recent years, and he cultivates immortality, not demonism! His bloodline is demonic, but he does everything just like us immortal cultivators!"
Sect Master Bai Ye glared at him angrily: "But demons are born violent, cruel and ruthless, and who can be sure that Yin Yue is not disguised? His bloodline is so pure. If he summons the vengeful ghosts of the underworld demons, and the demons make a comeback in the future, our cultivation world will be in great danger!"
Having said that, Sect Master Bai Ye flicked his sleeve fiercely, drawing his long sword: "Xi Xingxue, you should know that protecting demons means being treated as one of their own! Killing Yin Yue is the only right choice!"
Having said that, Sect Master Bai Ye, eager to eliminate the demon, gripped his sword and thrust it at Yin Yue.
Before Xi Xingxue could stop him, Wenren Ling blocked Bai Ye's attack, and the two swords clashed with a loud clang.
Sect Master Bai Ye stared at Wenren Ling in disbelief: "Sect Master Wenren, are you also going to protect the Demon Clan like Xi Xingxue?"
Wenren Ling shook his head: "It's only natural that we didn't protect Yin Yue. Sect Master Bai Ye, you were too impatient."
Having said that, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a still pool reflecting all the expressions on Sect Master Bai Ye's face.
Sect Master Bai Ye felt a slight unease, but he couldn't back down an inch in front of so many people.
At this moment, several sect leaders from the other six major sects, having heard what had happened, rushed to the scene.
After hearing the whole story, they were all filled with passionate indignation:
"Back then, the demon race slaughtered tens of millions of people in our cultivation world. They wanted to leave no one alive, so how could we spare their lives? We killed them!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone saw that a man dressed in white was standing in front of the so-called demon.
He had a graceful figure, a cool expression, and a determined glint in his eyes.
Can.
When the whole world stands against Yin Yue, then those around Yin Yue will also become public enemies.
Wenren Ling, rubbing his aching forehead, looked at Xi Xingxue with difficulty and whispered, "Come back, Old Xi. Yin Yue is a demon. You are destined not to be his master anymore. You still have us, and you still have two disciples."
Xi Xingxue replied telepathically, "Not a single one of my disciples can be missing."
Sect Master Bai Ye said coldly, "Xi Xingxue, even now you are still standing in front of the demons. Fine, then we have no choice but to act on behalf of Heaven and kill both of you."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The Jade Maiden Sect Master said with some reluctance, "Fellow Daoist Xi is only bound by the bond between master and disciple. No matter the situation, it is he who will be hurt. Everyone should just persuade him. It is impossible to deal with Fellow Daoist Xi."
The scene suddenly became deadlocked. Some people said that they should kill Yin Yue and then persuade the stubborn Xi Xingxue. Others said that as someone who had nurtured the demon race for more than ten years, Xi Xingxue was very likely the spy.
Regardless, Yin Yue was afraid that everyone would point the finger at Xi Xingxue.
He whispered, "Give up on me, Master. In the next life, I will not be a demon. Please come to the mortal world to find me and take me as your disciple, okay?"
Xi Xingxue turned around.
The boy's eyes were full of tears, which flowed uncontrollably, forming a continuous river.
His pale face was etched with loneliness, sorrow, and deep reluctance.
Still unwilling to accept it, he murmured in a hoarse voice, "In the next life, will you only have me as your disciple?"
Even at a time like this, he still acted possessively and didn't want to share his master with the other disciples.
Xi Xingxue didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He was moved by Yin Yue's desperate words. He wanted to tell him not to be afraid, that he could save him, but how could the emotions in his eyes express all the feelings in his heart?
She could only whisper in reply, "Fool, don't say anything, Master already knows."
Yin Yue gave a faint smile, his eyes fixed on him.
That's wonderful, Master is becoming more and more gentle with him.
But he was so regretful and unwilling. He was about to die. He hadn't even competed with his fellow disciples for the master, and he hadn't even heard his master say that he liked him.
