In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

"It's...it's the Moon Fairy!"

"Heavens! The Moon Fairy has actually come!"

"Wasn't she in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? How come she's here?"

Amidst gasps of surprise, Sect Master Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Martial Aunt Yuehua."

Moonflower Fairy, one of the three Supreme Elders of the Azure Cloud Sect, an unparalleled expert at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and one of the most likely people in the Eastern Region to break through to the Divine Transformation stage.

Moonflower Fairy ignored Sect Master Yunlan and simply looked at Su Han quietly, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

"After three years, you've indeed ended up on this path," she said softly, her voice cold and unreadable.

Su Han—or rather, the Demon Seed—rose from the ground, his purple eyes fixed on Fairy Moonlight, a low roar escaping his lips: "Who...are...you..."

"You don't remember me?" A trace of sadness flashed in Fairy Moon's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Very well, since you have fallen into demonic ways, then I will end all of this with my own hands."

She raised her hand, and a bright, clear moon appeared in her palm.

As the bright moon rose, its cool light shone down upon Su Han. The moonlight seemed to possess the power to purify all evil spirits; wherever it passed, the demonic energy on Su Han melted away like ice and snow, the demonic markings under his skin faded rapidly, and the horn on his forehead began to soften and disappear.

"No...no..." The demonic seed let out a shrill roar and struggled desperately, but under the moonlight, its power melted away as quickly as snow under the sun.

"Senior Sister...is that you..." The purple light in Su Han's eyes gradually faded, and a trace of clarity returned. He looked at Fairy Moonflower, his eyes filled with longing and pain.

"Go to sleep, junior brother." Fairy Yuehua's voice softened. "You'll feel better when you wake up."

The moonlight grew even brighter, completely enveloping Su Han.

The last glimmer of clarity in Su Han's eyes faded, and she slowly closed them, falling into the deepest sleep.

The Moon Fairy withdrew her hand, and the moonlight dissipated. She walked to Su Han's side, knelt down, and gently stroked his cheek, her eyes filled with pity.

"Uncle-Master, Su Han, he..." Sect Master Yunlan asked cautiously.

“The demonic seed has fused with the power of chaos, becoming a chaotic demonic seed that cannot be eradicated by ordinary methods.” Fairy Yuehua stood up, regaining her composure. “I will take him back to the Qingyun Sect and suppress him with the ‘Nine Heavens Bright Moon Formation’ to slowly purify him.”

"That grand competition..."

"Let the championship go to Qin Mu," Fairy Yuehua said calmly. "As for Su Han, from today onwards, announce to the public that he has fallen into demonic possession and will be executed on the spot."

"This..." Sect Master Yunlan was stunned.

"Do as I say." Fairy Yuehua's tone left no room for argument.

"Yes," the Yunlan Sect Master replied with a bow.

The Moon Fairy picked up the unconscious Su Han, transformed into a ray of moonlight, and disappeared into the world.

Only complete silence remained, along with countless incredulous gazes. "Su Han... has fallen into demonic possession?"

"Killed by the Moon Fairy herself?"

"What...what exactly is going on?"

Amidst the murmurs, no one noticed that in the corner of the arena, beneath an inconspicuous pebble, a faint gray light flickered briefly before disappearing.

On the other side, Fairy Moonlight moved with incredible speed, transforming into a streak of bright light that streaked across the sky, returning to the depths of the Azure Cloud Sect in less than half a day. Without alerting anyone, she flew straight to the forbidden area behind the mountain—Bright Moon Peak.

This is where Fairy Yuehua secluded herself for cultivation, and it is also the core of the Qingyun Sect's protective array, the "Nine Heavens Bright Moon Array." The entire mountain is shrouded in moonlight year-round, cold and desolate, and ordinary disciples are not allowed to approach it.

The Moon Fairy, carrying Su Han, landed before an ancient stone hall. The hall, constructed of white jade and intricately carved with moon patterns, gleamed warmly in the moonlight. The hall doors slid open silently, and she stepped inside, gently placing Su Han on a jade platform in the center.

The jade platform was completely transparent, and intricate array patterns could be vaguely seen beneath it, connecting it to the spiritual veins of the entire mountain. Fairy Moonlight stood before the platform, gazing at Su Han's pale face. Her usually clear and bright eyes were now tightly closed, and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she were struggling against something even in her dreams.

“Junior brother…” Fairy Yuehua sighed softly, raising her delicate hand to form a complex hand seal.

As she moved, the moon patterns on the four walls of the stone hall lit up one by one, and soft moonlight gathered from all directions, pouring into the array beneath the jade platform. The jade platform slowly rose, hovering in mid-air, and layers of sealing runes appeared on its surface, enveloping Su Han within it.

"The bright moon of the nine heavens purifies all evil." Fairy Moonlight chanted softly, and the moonlight became more and more solid, gradually forming a cocoon of light around Su Han.

Within the cocoon of light, the chaotic vortex on Su Han's chest trembled slightly, seemingly repelling the moonlight. The hazy light and the bright moonlight clashed and eroded each other, emitting a faint hissing sound. The power of the demonic seed was temporarily dormant under the suppression of the moonlight, but it still lurked within Su Han's body like a venomous snake, waiting for its chance to strike.

The Moon Fairy frowned slightly. The situation was more troublesome than she had anticipated. The power of chaos had completely fused with the demonic seed, forming an unprecedented "chaotic demonic seed." Unlike ordinary demonic seeds, which are purely yin and evil, it was a bizarre existence mixed with chaotic attributes—capable of devouring everything and evolving all things, making it extremely difficult to eradicate.

“Even with the purifying power of the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Array, it will take at least ten years to completely purify the demonic seed,” Fairy Moonlight calculated in her heart. “But during these ten years, he must be under the suppression of the array at all times. Once he leaves, the demonic seed will immediately retaliate.”

She gazed at Su Han, who was sleeping in the cocoon of light, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Three years ago, when she last saw this junior brother, he was still a spirited young man who had made a name for himself in the sect competition, defeating several late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators with his early Foundation Establishment cultivation and winning third place in the inner sect competition. At that time, his eyes shone with light, and his smile was radiant. He said to her, "Senior sister, I will definitely catch up with you."

Who could have imagined that three years later, their reunion would be like this?

"Ye Lingxiao is right, you have truly embarked on an unprecedented path," Fairy Yuehua murmured. "But this path is far too dangerous."

She turned and walked deeper into the stone hall. There was a futon there, her usual place for cultivation. She sat cross-legged on the futon, but did not immediately enter a meditative state. Instead, she took out a moon-white jade pendant from her sleeve.

The jade pendant was warm and smooth, with a crescent moon engraved on the front and the character "寒" (cold) on the back. It was a birthday gift Su Han gave her years ago, saying it was the result of his first attempt at crafting a weapon. Although it was rough, it was the thought that counted.

"Senior sister, once I become a master weapon refiner, I will definitely forge an unparalleled magic weapon for you!" The boy's hearty laughter seemed to still echo in my ears.

The Moon Fairy gripped the jade pendant tightly and closed her eyes.

Three days later, the results of the Eastern Region Grand Competition spread throughout all factions.

Qin Mu of the Xuantian Sect deservedly won the championship. However, the biggest news was that Su Han, the genius disciple of the Qingyun Sect, suddenly succumbed to demonic possession during the finals and was "killed" on the spot by Fairy Yuehua. (End of Chapter)
