Chapter 429 Picking up a young immortal as a fiancé (25)

From the beginning to the end, the Heart Devouring Demon did not exist.

The first time the "Heart Devouring Demon" appeared was from the mouth of the Nameless Sword Immortal.

At that time, he was found to have imprisoned many young men with pure spiritual power. No one knew why he had imprisoned so many young men for so many years and killed so many of them. However, the sins he committed were too serious, and it also made people understand that this was definitely not something a decent person would do.

Facing the joint blockade of the major sects, he was covered in wounds, but suddenly he seemed to have become a different person. He kept talking about using this body to strengthen the demon clan. Thinking of Wuming's previous integrity and selflessness, he had been in danger many times for the peace of the three realms. I believe that more and more people were captured by him.

When Wuming was sober, he said that it was the Heart Devouring Demon.

This is a kind of demon that no one has ever heard of before, but as more and more people died, the appearance of the Heart-Eating Demon became an objective reality.

Later, Wuming was willing to give up his life and used himself as bait to step into the Heart-Eating Demon's lair and slaughter all the Heart-Eating Demons. Perhaps it was God's mercy that he walked out of the Heart-Eating Demon's lair with his last breath. Because of his contribution to the Three Realms, others turned a blind eye to the fact that they did not kill him but only imprisoned him.

Everyone thought that the Heart-Eating Demon had been killed, and as time passed, everyone gradually stopped mentioning it. However, eighteen years later, the Heart-Eating Demon appeared again in Wuyou City.

But how could the Heart-Eating Demon appear?

That was just a lie that Wuming made up in order to survive. The so-called Heart Devourer Demon did not exist.

You Bing, the lord of Wuyou City, was troubled by illness many years ago. When he was very old, Wuming appeared in front of him and gave him a piece of flesh and blood. Not only did he rejuvenate You Bing, but he also extended his lifespan and was able to stay young forever.

And for so many years, You Bing has been working for Wuming.

Using the name of the Heart Devourer Demon's chaos, Wen Xing was lured to Wuyou City. According to the plan, Wen Xing should have died in Wuyou City, but the real "Heart Devourer Demon" appeared. This was something that caught Wuming and You Bing off guard.

Wuming had to leave his home in the bamboo forest and come to Wuyou City in person. The development of things was very different from his plan.

For example, Bai Yao should not appear in Wuyou City.

For example, when Wen Xing saw that "innocent" people such as Bao Longtao were about to lose their lives in front of the false Heart Devouring Demon, he should have remembered that he could not let down his father who sacrificed his life for justice and took the initiative to sacrifice himself.

For another example, the jade pendant on Qin Yan's waist should not have been broken.

A part of Wuming's soul resided in the jade pendant. The dissipation of this soul directly caused Wuming to suffer irreversible damage, so that he can't even hold the sword steadily now.

Things shouldn't develop like this.

Wen Xing should "sacrifice", the old man in the jade pendant will let Qin Yan inherit all of Wen Xing's spiritual power and cultivation, and the "Heart-Eating Demon" will be "eliminated" by Qin Yan, and Qin Yan will become the next famous sword fairy.

Bao Longtao was confused, "What do you mean? What do you mean the Heart-Eating Demon never existed? That means the Heart-Eating Demon is fake. The masked man, no, it's the Nameless Sword Immortal, he lied to me! He lied to me about the existence of the Heart-Eating Demon, why?"

Bai Yao said, "I was wondering before, why did you keep mentioning the Heart-Eating Demon after we were pulled into the dark space by the mist, as if to tell all of us that we were facing an enemy we couldn't defeat. It turns out that you were instructed by him to let us believe in the existence of the Heart-Eating Demon under that circumstance."

Bao Longtao's face changed, he couldn't refute, because Bai Yao was telling the truth.

A few months ago, Bao Longtao was approached by Wuming, who tempted him with a spiritual medicine that could increase his cultivation. As long as he went to Wuyou City and talked about the existence of the Heart Devouring Demon according to the plan, he would be rewarded generously when the matter was over.

Bao Longtao said incomprehensibly: "But the Heart Devouring Demon is real! You all saw that the Heart Devouring Demon imitated Jia Yi. Later, he could even predict what Jia Yi would say next. Doesn't this prove that he is replacing Jia Yi!"

"Only Wuming is allowed to be deceitful, but others are not allowed to treat him in the same way he treats them?" Bai Yao's eyes narrowed, she raised her face and looked at the boy she liked, her eyes sparkling, "My Wen Xing is amazing! The smartest person in the world is my Wen Xing!"

Wen Xing couldn't stand Bai Yao's compliments when he was thirteen years old. Now that he has grown up, he still can't stand it. His heart is excited and his face is hot, just like a child who has received a long-awaited reward. He can't suppress the corners of his lips that are raised, and finally he shyly avoids her passionate gaze.

Bao Longtao: "W-what do you mean?"

Not only him, but everyone else hasn't figured it out yet.

Ming Nuannuan couldn't understand why Bai Yao seemed to know everything. Did Wen Xing tell her in advance what he was planning behind the scenes?

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to pretend.

Wuming calmed down his crazy state and his face darkened a little. "Jia Yi is your man."

Wen Xing smiled and said, "It's just that he was lured by the benefits. He is not my man."

Jia Yi was met by Wen Xing half a year ago. At that time, Wen Xing was earning rewards by killing demons and buying the latest jewelry in Qianjin Pavilion for Bai Yao. He happened to find Jia Yi practicing evil ways by making corpse oil in an abandoned house.

Jia Yi is a disciple of a famous and upright sect. If his master knew about it, he would definitely be expelled from the sect.

Wen Xing used this as a threat, and promised Jia Yi that he would help him practice, so that Jia Yi and the "Heart Devouring Demon" transformed by the scales played a duet.

When they knew that the "Heart Devouring Demon" appeared, no one dared to speak, for fear that he would learn their thoughts and take them away, but Jia Yi still had a strong conversation with the "Heart Devouring Demon" at that time, which was of course not only because of his reckless personality. Jia Yi

thought he could leave after playing a duet, but he didn't expect to die under Bao Longtao's sword. This was what he couldn't believe at the time.

Wuming smiled and said, "What a good trick. Wen Xing, what I can't understand is, when did you realize that something was wrong?"

Wen Xing lowered his eyes and smiled, "Father, you have left behind so many good names. Everyone says that you are the first person in the Three Realms who sacrificed your life for justice. And those books and teachings you left for me... These resources are all teaching me to walk towards death and sacrifice for all living beings in the Three Realms. It seems that this is the path I should take. I used to think so too. Maybe it's just as you think. If I see others about to be killed by the so-called Heart-Eating Demon today, I will choose to sacrifice myself like you and die with the Heart-Eating Demon."

Wuming paved a path for Wen Xing to "sacrifice", but the magic of fate is that there are often unexpected surprises.
