After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 265 Leaving a Whole Corpse

Liu San stood in the prison cell.

The demon's prison is no different from the prison in the mortal world.

It was just as shabby, dark, and damp.

The only difference is that the cells here are surrounded by a demonic barrier, making it extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to escape.

Even for extraordinary cultivators, it's not that easy.

For example, the two people currently in the prison cell—Tang Ling and Song Nan, who are in a coma.

Of course, these two people couldn't be locked up together.

Liu San tied the two men up and placed a huge alchemy furnace in front of them.

Although it wasn't the right time yet, his second sister's death almost broke him.

If he could, he would put them in the alchemy furnace right now and refine them for days and nights.

Regardless of whether the bone-changing procedure succeeds or not, only by reducing the two of them to ashes can he quell the hatred in his heart.

However, reason stopped him.

After witnessing his second sister's corpse at the age of six, he became taciturn and lost his former liveliness.

The thought of how much his second sister had silently endured in places he didn't know filled him with excruciating pain and shame.

This shame made him feel unworthy of a good life.

In addition, he lacked the aptitude for cultivation.

So he began to practice the arts of the Dan Sect, specializing in the research and development of poisons, and tested them on himself.

They lived a life that was neither human nor ghost.

And now, my second sister has died once again.

This time, my second sister will never come back.

Thinking of this, Liu San clenched his fists and looked coldly at Song Nan, who had been tortured to the point of fainting several times.

From the moment he was captured, Liu San used various instruments of torture on him.

Without a doubt, Song Nan's skeleton was the most suitable material for alchemy.

Tang Ling's body was the most suitable material for testing whether the bone replacement was successful.

Therefore, these two are the best combination for alchemy.

They cannot die yet.

Liu San tightly suppressed the urge to kill the two men.

Tang Ling woke up before Song Nan.

She glanced around, her eyes still somewhat lost.

But when he saw Song Nan, who was covered in blood, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Senior brother! Senior brother!"

At Tang Ling's call, Song Nan's eyes shifted slightly.

Both of them woke up.

That's good, both of them are awake, which makes interrogation easier.

This is the result Liu San wanted to see.

Tang Ling turned her gaze to Liu San, "What did you do to him?"

"Finger torture, caning, flogging, branding iron..."

Liu San spoke expressionlessly, each word distinct, and Tang Ling's heart slowly grew colder until she felt a chill run through her entire body.

When she woke up, she used her divine sense to examine Song Nan's body and found that his body was no different from that of an ordinary person.

It must have been Liu San who administered some kind of drug to him, causing him to lose all his spiritual power.

In other words, Song Nan endured these handcuffing tortures without any protection, and eventually even fainted from the pain!
As they were talking, Song Nan slowly woke up.

"Senior brother, how are you feeling?" Tang Ling asked hurriedly.

Song Nan didn't speak, but just shook his head, as if he had lost all his strength.

"You've probably already guessed my identity," Liu San said first, then paused, his gaze shifting to the enormous alchemy furnace beside him. "As for your fate, you should have already anticipated it."

"You are the third brother of the evil child." Tang Ling ignored his threats and said, "In the beginning, you took me as your disciple, taught me alchemy, and made me soak in medicinal baths all the time, just to use my physique to refine the Bone Transformation Technique for Lu Qingfeng!"

Liu San listened to her with his head down, remained silent for a long time, then suddenly grinned and looked up at her.

"You're right."

Tang Ling was already utterly disappointed.

In just one day, the two masters she once trusted and respected have become her enemies!

Liu San, who had taught her alchemy and various other matters at the Lingxian Sect, had even been in contact with her for longer than Song Nan had!
"You are not worthy of being a pill refiner for what you have done!" Tang Ling said. "You have killed so many cultivators, and now you are helping the demons invade the human realm, causing so many people to be displaced and lose their loved ones. How is this any different from the person who caused you and your siblings to become homeless!"

Liu San smiled.

But there was a deep chill in that smile. "Otherwise what? Do you think I have a choice?"

"If my second sister hadn't died and become a demon back then, my eldest brother and I would be two skeletons by now! If she hadn't become a demon, we wouldn't be who we are today!"

As he spoke, Liu San became agitated, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Tang Ling had never seen him like this before.

"Once she becomes a demon, she has to work for the demon race! Do you think the cultivation world is any more upright these days? They're all hypocrites. In comparison, demon cultivators are much more genuine!"

"The winner takes all, the loser is condemned—what difference does it make who rules the world? It's all the same, isn't it?"

Tang Ling fell silent.

She wasn't a child who knew nothing; having seen so many people's memories, it was as if she had lived through their lives.

She understood that there was a reason behind what he said.

but……

"What about the Forgotten Village?"

Tang Ling suddenly said, her voice filled with a chilling coldness.

"Lu Qingfeng said he wanted to create a world where people could forget their troubles, be carefree, and have no desires—but the people living there lost their self-awareness and became your test subjects! Now they've become puppets, manipulated by you to fight on the battlefield! What kind of bullshit Forgotten Village is this?! Simply escaping and forgetting won't solve anything. Everything you three siblings have done is selfish and self-serving. Why deceive yourselves by pretending to be saviors and pitiful people?! It's ridiculous!"

Liu San fell silent again.

Because he was looking down, Tang Ling couldn't see his expression and therefore had no way of knowing what he was thinking.

“This was my elder brother’s idea.” Liu San kept his head down, his voice somewhat somber. “My elder brother had always wanted to create an army like the Mirage Demons, but he failed. He subtly told Nangong Yue about these ideas, but unexpectedly, Nangong Yue later used mechanical arts to create several mechanisms of the Four Great Demonic Beasts in the mechanical city beneath the Nangong family’s territory.”

Liu San seemed to have returned to his former taciturn self at the Lingxian Sect. Back then, when they were gathering herbs together on the Ninth Peak, he always protected her silently, enabling her to gradually walk on the Ninth Peak as if it were flat ground, no longer afraid of the ferocious beasts and poisonous herbs there.

Thinking back on the past, Tang Ling was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking, "Master—this should be the last time I call you Master. If you stop now, out of consideration for our past master-disciple relationship, I can leave you with a whole corpse."

Liu San paused for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked up abruptly, "Who... told you all this?"

These thoughts about her elder brother should not have been shared with Tang Ling by anyone.

How did she know that?

Tang Ling smiled. "Do you believe in reincarnation?"

"Or rather, do you believe that there are actually many parallel universes in this world?"

"Nonsense!" Looking at Tang Ling's smile, Liu San felt a strange sense of irritation.

"I'll throw you all into the alchemy furnace right now, and then we'll see if your mouth will still be so sharp!"

"It seems you're not going to agree." Tang Ling's smile faded, and she suddenly gave Song Nan a deep look.

Unfortunately, Song Nan seemed to have fainted again. But the moment Tang Ling looked over, he seemed to sense something, and his handcuffed fingers curled slightly, but that was all he could do.

Tang Ling's heart clenched along with his fingers, but she immediately looked away. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she closed her eyes.

What Liu San didn't notice was that just as she closed her eyes, a cold halo suddenly emanated from behind her, spreading out layer by layer towards the ground.

The ground where the halo spread suddenly trembled violently, and screams of terror echoed from the cells.

"What is it?!" Liu San looked at Tang Ling in astonishment, just in time to see her eyes suddenly open.

However, those were not the eyes of Tang Ling that had just spoken to him.

Those were eyes that Liu San had never seen before—desolate, indifferent, and if you looked into them for too long, they seemed to draw you in like an abyss.

When Liu San looked over, the owner of those eyes suddenly tilted his head, looking at Liu San as if he were looking at a dead object, without any emotional fluctuation.

For some reason, a layer of fine goosebumps suddenly broke out all over Liu San's body.
