A world without glitz
As soon as the three of them left the Demon Sect's territory, they received a message from Chen Ye asking for help. "Madam, Ye Ye sent me a message. She is trapped in the cave behind Taixu Sect."
"Meimei, go and blow up the Qingshui Palace. Xiaoxiang, Desolate Mountain is handed over to you. Today is the day for the Immortal Sect and the Demon Sect to be unified." Wu Yu had already been unable to suppress her ambition after leaving the Demon Sect's territory. Although her voice was low and calm, the excitement in her eyes, mixed with a hint of anger, had already turned into a whirlwind that swept around, and she went to Taixu Sect first.
In a matter of moments, the stars shifted, and Wu Yu was back in her childhood hometown. "It's been so long since I last saw Taixu Sect! This stone tablet is great, I'll use it as a footwashing stone when I get home." Wu Yu surveyed the stone tablet. The densely packed inscriptions on it all mentioned the names of its donors, though she didn't recognize any of them.
However, there were many others who had arrived earlier than him. The one trapped in the Demon Sect had indeed not given up. He had already informed his disciples. Wu Yu had not even set foot inside the Taixu Sect, but was blocked outside by the two sect masters.
"Aunt, you have come here without informing us in advance. As the younger generations, Xuhua and I should at least do our part as hosts and express our gratitude." Tanhua was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed to the front and said with a flattering face.
Xuhua, seeing this, naturally did not want to be outdone, and quickly agreed: "Yes, aunt, you haven't been here for a long time! I can take you around and see the changes here." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Epiphyllum out of the corner of his eye, and secretly sighed in his heart: This Epiphyllum is really a flatterer, but then again, his sweet words are no less than hers.
"You really think you're the master of this place. I'm here today to merge the Taixu Sect and the Demon Sect." Wu Yu ignored the two juniors' tricks to delay time and instead searched for Chen Ye in the mountains behind the Taixu Sect. "Found him! He's on Yuheng Peak."
"Aunt, how can the magic cultivation and spiritual cultivation be combined?" Xuhua and Tanhua did not dare to act rashly, but the rebuttal came out first.
"Surrender or fight? With all your wisdom and wisdom, the net is still set." Even after thousands of years in the Demon Sect, Wu Yu still couldn't shake her arrogance. Few knew she was even more powerful than her brother, the Three Void Divine Lord. Perhaps it was for this reason that she was imprisoned in the Demon Sect's territory by her own brother. However, this time was a good opportunity. Xiaoxiang and Meimei were on her side, making it the perfect opportunity to escape.
By the time Tanhua and Xuhua reacted, they were already trapped. "Didn't Master say that it's best not to act rashly? But he didn't say that Senior is so unethical that he set up this trap as soon as he arrived." Tanhua weakly slapped the invisible barrier, but nothing happened except the sound of bells.
"Useless Sword!" Xuhua gave an order, and the palace-guarding sword, Wuyong, which was a hundred miles away, felt a strong call and cut through the sky at the same time as the clouds, and came to its master, but the man and the sword were facing each other through the golden bell cover.
"Break the formation!" Xu Hua saw the sword at his side, but he had no sword in his hand. The sound of the sword colliding with the Golden Bell Cover announced his incompetence to everyone in the Taixu Sect. "You are truly a useless sword!"
"It's because of senior brother's self-righteousness that our Taixu Sect's disciples are dying out. No one informed us when someone attacked." Epiphyllum had already sat on the ground in the trap. After all, there was no trace of the senior's receding figure.
"You didn't concentrate on your cultivation, and now you have no ability to resist when disaster strikes. You are really good at shirking responsibility." Although Xuhua was educating his junior sister Tanhua, his eyes were full of regret for the useless sword.
"I don't know who is the leader of kendo, but it's definitely not me. How come I'm useless without my sword?" People who grow flowers can always entertain themselves. This is like knocking the golden bell cover like a chime one by one. It's a typical way of finding joy in suffering.
"Can you name the second person in this Wuhua world who can use a sword? If I'm not the best, who is?" Xuhua has a clear understanding of his own abilities, but for the sake of the sect's reputation and as Qi Yiwen's junior brother, his abilities have long been rumored to be miraculous. In fact, he and Tanhua are just on par with each other.
"It's all thanks to my senior brother."
Qi Yiwen struggled, but with no progress, her hands were tangled in the cumbersome sash. He had no choice but to casually drape an emerald green robe over her shoulders. Chen Ye expressed his confusion over this maneuver. Was this a typical case of having the desire but not the courage?
With a loud bang, Chen Ye was dragged and lifted into the air by Qi Yiwen before he could react. The cave where he had once been able to hide was instantly razed to the ground by some unknown attack. The two of them were surrounded by rubble and ash, which was choking. After the bungee jumping operation, everything exposed was reduced to ash, including clothes and faces.
Chen Ye couldn't stop coughing even though someone was holding his waist. He waited for the ashes to dissipate, and finally saw the mother described in the PDF. However, the woman in front of him was dressed in dark purple. If Meimei's secret code was connected from the fingers to the neck, then Wuyu's secret code was densely packed. These secret codes connected to her meridians, inch by inch, surging with her breathing.
"Mother, save me!" Chen Ye acted as if she was being held hostage and desperately calling for help. No, she was actually being held hostage and was not pretending.
"What are you doing, my dear nephew and my daughter?" Wu Yu looked at this sullen and strange guy who looked like him, and felt a million regrets in his heart. Why didn't he kill him when he just joined the sect, so that he wouldn't be the only one to be harmed in the end?
"Aunt, this Yuheng Peak should be the place where you were imprisoned. Don't you feel familiar with it?" Qi Yiwen politely reminisced about the past with her senior while forcibly pinching Chen Ye's chin, forcing her to look at her. "I feel very familiar with your daughter too. You should stay with me for a while longer. Aunt, do you also want to stay in this Yuheng Peak for a few hundred more years?" Chen Ye really felt that this male protagonist was the one who was most disconnected from his personality. If he was not a person who traveled through the book, there was only one possibility, that is, he was an awakened person.
"System, don't you need to deal with people like this?" Chen Ye said helplessly. In her heart, she still hoped to ease the relationship with the system. After all, it was not good for her if the system kept pretending to be dead.
However, Wu Yu didn't seem to appreciate it. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile, and said, "Why, nephew, are you no longer willing to pretend to be a virtuous person? You're even willing to do something like stealing someone's daughter?"
Although Wu Yu's tone seemed nonchalant, she had already secretly unleashed the Demon-Subduing Palm while hiding her right hand behind her back. In an instant, her palm twisted with lightning speed, and the Demon-Subduing Palm took shape.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Yu suddenly appeared in front of Qi Yiwen like a ghost. The palm containing powerful demonic energy rushed straight towards Qi Yiwen's chest like a cannonball.
This palm was incredibly powerful. As long as a trace of demonic energy invaded Qi Yiwen's body, the spiritual power in his body would instantly reverse, which was exactly what Wu Yu wanted.
Wu Yu was no ordinary warrior; she was a veteran with thousands of battles under her belt. Against a cultivator of Qi Yiwen's strength, the key to victory was the element of surprise. Furthermore, Wu Yu, a man well-versed in various techniques, knew that the simplest and most direct attack methods were often the most effective.
"Aunt, you probably don't care about your daughter's life at all." Qi Yiwen didn't choose to dodge, but simply gently stepped away from Chen Ye, who was holding her hostage. She was forced to take the blow firmly. After that, her mother, whom she had only just seen in a PDF, passed through her body. Her eyes only focused on Qi Yiwen, and her daughter meant nothing to her. But the story clearly didn't read that way. It was ridiculous that a child born from two lovers didn't receive a mother's love.
If the demonic fire was the pain of a raging fire, then this palm was the nothingness that dug out the heart. Chen Ye only felt that his whole body was floating lightly in the air.
"Useless!" Qi Yiwen held the Useless Sword in his hand. As the two men clashed, there was a flash of fire between their palms and the sword. The evil energy wrapped around the sword and approached Qi Yiwen step by step, and soon surrounded Qi Yiwen. He was surrounded by black fog, and layer by layer it was impossible to see if there was anyone inside.
"What's the point of just talking about how deep your spiritual power is and never taking action?" Wu Yu watched this self-proclaimed intelligent genius fall before his eyes, and he finally regained some of the original feeling in his heart, the feeling of being the only one in the world.
I thought the demonic energy had devoured that person, and that person would cease to exist. Chen Ye, supported by his mother, barely stood in mid-air, but both of them were well aware of the separation they had just experienced. "It's okay, Chen Ye, you've seen mothers like this a lot, haven't you?" Chen Ye could only comfort himself. At least they heard his message and came anyway, and it was a good thing he wasn't stuck in that orphanage where he couldn't make it.
A hint of starlight already clung to the demonic energy, gradually growing brighter. "As Auntie said, demonic cultivation and spiritual cultivation share the same origin, so naturally, this demonic energy can be used by me as well. You've been through countless battles, yet you don't even understand this principle, mistakenly believing others are just as foolish as you, and will become possessed by demonic cultivation." Qi Yiwen emerged from the black fog. Chen Ye observed him, thankfully Meimei wasn't there, otherwise he would have been trapped in a love cycle sooner or later. The male protagonist whose face glowed—was this the modeler's preference?
"You can't win, so why don't you run away? Aunt? This is not like you. A thousand years ago, didn't you beg your master to take you to the Demon Sect to hide?" Qi Yiwen's words were full of sarcasm and disdain. His cheetah-like eyes stared at Chen Ye, as if he wanted to see through her.
"You are not expecting those two to blow up the Qingshui Palace, are you? Do you think your defeated subordinates are trash? After hundreds of years of arrogance, haven't you faced the reality? Do you think you can still fight against a thousand people alone like you did a thousand years ago?" Qi Yiwen's voice became sharper and sharper, his words were like knives, piercing Wu Yu's heart.
Chen Ye watched the scene in front of her and sighed inwardly. She really didn't notice when the male protagonist became so venomous. Could it be that because they had been together for so long, he was influenced by her personality?
Just as Chen Ye was lost in thought, a system notification suddenly rang out in his mind: "Host, the data in this world has become disordered. The male and female protagonists have both experienced varying degrees of OOC. Host, please evacuate immediately!"
Chen Ye's heart tightened, but how could she escape? Her mother had already abandoned her and fled.
"How do you say we should evacuate? My mother is about to abandon me and run away." Chen Ye said to the system anxiously.
The system was silent for a moment, then replied, "Push the story progress to 100%."
"Ye Ye, you and this guy are quite a good match. Why don't you get to know each other first? I'll come pick you up after I've practiced for a few more years." Wu Yu had already pushed Chen Ye to Qi Yiwen as she spoke. The emptiness in Chen Ye's chest, coupled with her mother's distance, deeply hurt her. "Please don't give me a scenario like being abandoned by my parents again, okay?"
The weak are pushed around like objects. Perhaps Chen Ye misremembered the name; the phrase "loved by both parents" on the PDF might have simply referred to her father. She watched Qi Yiwen stretch out her arms, trying to catch her. But Chen Ye, not a character in the play, certainly wouldn't give up. While she lacked support, she clearly relied on herself to advance the plot.
As she grasped the crushed Xiangyu in her right palm, her unique demonic energy continued to surge out, gathering in her right hand and transforming into a demon-controlling palm. It struck Qi Yiwen again, this time even closer, only a layer of clothing between them. "You two, mother and daughter, are truly unyielding? Yeye, don't you have a clear understanding of your own strength?" Qi Yiwen still had a hint of doting at this moment, treating it like a playful couple's playful banter. This was called playfulness, as Yeye had taught her.
Qi Yiwen held her ground with her left hand, as if playing a joke with Chen Ye, still in a stalemate. "Still waiting? Go ahead, Meimei!" Chen Ye would always remember that red dress. From the moment he first saw her until now, it was always in front of her. The fluttering dress mixed with the blood gushing from Qi Yiwen's chest ended Qi Yiwen's life.
"Why?" Qi Yiwen knelt on one knee, staring at the magic sword that pierced through her body. In a trance, she saw the figure of Chen Ye. That was the Chen Ye in her previous life, because her eyes were full of love, not the Chen Ye in this life, she was cold.
"People should never forget the mission of their birth. The sect leader probably doesn't know that the Three Void God was jealous of his disciple's talent and thus developed evil thoughts and became a demon cultivator. But that evil thought was blessed with spiritual power day and night, which led to my birth. I was born to fulfill the master's wish. I have let Taixu go, and the next thing is your life. You have been a human for too long, and you really thought of yourself as the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect. You also accepted the identity compiled for me by the master, and you really regarded me as your savior." Meimei still held the magic sword in her hand, swinging it back and forth, stirring the flesh and blood of the kneeling man.
Chen Ye lamented that the heroine he'd been betting on since the beginning had finally awakened, and that the hero, who was able to kill her opponent with Meimei's own hands, had finally grown up. As expected, the only taboo in a duel is underestimating the enemy. He hadn't anticipated Meimei's actions, leading to the blow. However, the hero's death was still somewhat sloppy.
"The Immortal Sect has fallen, and the Demon Sect has risen. The story is 100% complete. If he doesn't die, you will have to stay in this world and serve as Bai Yueguang's substitute."
"It's a good death. Thank you, Master System, for saving me." Chen Ye was really thankful to God. Returning to this data world, he felt a sense of familiarity that he hadn't felt in a long time.
