After a few blows, both men were covered in blood, looking utterly miserable.
But this was far from enough to quell the hatred in Qingluan Fairy's heart.
"Was it Shi Mu who forced you to kidnap me, take me back to Misty Abyss, transform me into a demon, and prevent me from leaving? Was that also at Shi Mu's behest?"
She raised her hand and grabbed Shang Qing's throat tightly, causing Shang Qing's face to turn purplish-blue instantly.
"No...no, we just want you to become stronger..."
Qingluan Fairy ignored Shang Qing's words and increased the force of her men's blows. "Was it Shi Mu who deliberately made me lose control and kill my clansmen?"
"What kind of relatives are you to me? Your blood disgusts me!"
If they hadn't interfered, she would have grown up surrounded by her people, and her people wouldn't have been in this predicament!
Ten Wings couldn't stand it any longer, and his temper flared up again. "How dare you talk to us like that! We raised you and made you stronger, is that wrong?"
"How can you be so insensitive—"
Before Shi Yi could finish speaking, he was kicked away by Chen Sangruo and vomited a mouthful of blood upon landing.
She had heard too many ungrateful words, so Fairy Qingluan no longer needed to hear them.
Moreover, Shen Daochen had genuinely raised her, while these two treated Qingluan Fairy so badly, and what right did they have to say such things to her?
The Azure Phoenix Fairy glanced at the Ten Wings, her eyes devoid of any warmth. "Thank you for what? Thank you for deliberately making me lose control when I returned to my clan?"
Ten Wings' eyes flickered, clearly feeling guilty.
She didn't suddenly lose control; rather, she lost control because of their seduction.
“We…we’re all doing this for your own good…” Shang Qing said with difficulty, “You can be stronger…you can’t let those people hold you back…”
"Only when they are dead...can you truly abandon all distractions...and join us demonic cultivators..."
"Shut up!" Qingluan Fairy tightened her grip. "What right do you have to refer to my people as 'those people'?"
"You're nothing but bandits who kidnapped me! What right do you have to claim to be my family? Stop pretending you're doing this for me, you have no right to!"
"But in the end, you still lost control and killed all your people with your own hands, didn't you?" Over there, Ten Wings struggled to get up, wincing in pain as he forced a smile. "Isn't that enough to prove that you and we are the same kind of people?"
"Qingluan, you can't go back. You killed your people back then, are you going to kill us too? If we die, you will truly have no family left in this world!"
As Shi Yi spoke, he continued to try to break down her psychological defenses.
Having spent so much time with the Azure Phoenix Fairy, they naturally knew her weakest point: the deaths of her people had always been a taboo subject for her.
"You'd better think this through. Do you dare kill us? If you do, you'll truly be a monster!"
However, Qingluan Fairy's face showed no reaction; her tone was terrifyingly calm as she spoke, word by word:
"Do you think I don't know? Did I really kill my people in a fit of rage?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Sanruo's gaze froze, and she looked at Qingluan Fairy.
Could there be more to the story than meets the eye back then?
This was something she had never considered, so she was quite surprised to hear Qingluan Fairy say this.
"Of course you lost control and killed them!" Ten Wings roared. "Who else could it be but you! Only a monster like you could do something like slaughtering your own people!"
"You're willing to shift the blame for something like this just to kill us. You're a heartless bastard!"
"Heh." Fairy Qingluan laughed.
She turned to look at Shang Qing, who was being choked and struggling to breathe, her icy gaze carrying a chilling smile.
She spoke casually, as if asking a nonchalant question, "What do you think?"
"Qingluan...it's you..."
Before Shang Qing could finish speaking, Qingluan Fairy slammed him hard onto the ground, creating a large crater in such a short distance.
This shows how much force she used.
"I didn't expect that you could still pretend so well at this point." She smiled, her voice cold.
Shen Sangruo also understood the implied meaning in Qingluan Fairy's words, and couldn't help but look at Shang Qing a few more times.
We have roughly deduced the true course of events from back then.
"Qingluan... what are you talking about... what did I pretend to be..." Shang Qing pretended to know nothing.
But Fairy Qingluan knew very well what was going on.
"You always use that gentle demeanor to feign innocence. When you're with Shi Yi, the more irritable and domineering he is, the less aggressive you seem, making others less wary of you."
"But in reality, you are the most insidious one. You imprisoned me in the Misty Abyss, transformed me into a demon, and made me out of control within the tribe. Were all of these your ideas?"
"You think that just because the Ten Wings are the ones carrying out the orders, I can't guess that it's you behind it all?"
Upon hearing these words, Shang Qing finally showed some reaction on her face, as if she had been taken aback.
The Azure Phoenix Fairy slowly walked to Shang Qing, who had collapsed to the ground, and cyan spiritual energy gathered at her toes.
Without any mercy, he kicked Shang Qing.
Shang Qing let out a muffled groan, his face contorted in pain, and he was truly unable to speak.
“I lost control at the time.” Recalling the scene, Qingluan Fairy’s voice choked up a bit, “I also remember pointing the blade at my people.”
She then completely lost control and lost consciousness. When she woke up, all she could see was bright red blood.
All signs indicate that her people died at her hands.
Even the wounds on their bodies were the result of her attacks.
Shang Qing also looked up at her, seemingly not understanding how she could tell that it was him who killed her people.
Shen Sangruo remained silent, waiting quietly for Qingluan Fairy to speak.
Qingluan Fairy took a deep breath and looked directly at Shang Qing, "But the expressions on their faces are not right."
“If I had really killed them, they wouldn’t have had that kind of expression on their faces.”
She clearly remembered the expressions on the faces of each of her people after they died.
Each of them wore a deep look of hatred on their face; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
But her people would never show her that kind of expression.
"Even if I really killed them with my own hands, their eyes would not be filled with hatred when they looked at me."
"They will only feel guilty towards me, thinking that it was their carelessness that led to my being kidnapped to the Misty Abyss and becoming like this."
Thinking of the concern her people showed her, Qingluan Fairy's voice became sore, and her body felt as if all her strength had been drained.
Her people will not blame her.
The emotions that had been suppressed for many years seemed to erupt at this moment, sweeping over her and engulfing her once again.
If Shen Sangruo hadn't expected that this was how she had come to her judgment, she could imagine how painful it would be for Qingluan Fairy to say these things herself.
For her, it was like being slowly sliced to death.
