The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 981 Great Revenge Achieved
It was almost a familiar process.

Once evil thoughts are stirred up by evil influences, it's only a matter of time before the soul loses control.

Therefore, Song Wanning's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.

Xuan Yan was surrounded by demonic energy, which drove more evil energy to devour Ji Yunfeng's soul.

After a short while, Ji Yunfeng couldn't hold on any longer and began to let out low growls.

But unlike the others, he did not resign himself to his fate; instead, he began to fight back desperately.

At this moment, his mind was filled with endless evil thoughts, and he had no rationality whatsoever, so he attacked even more frantically.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Once entangled by evil spirits, it's difficult to break free.

This is also why Song Wanning wanted Xuan Yan to conquer the evil spirit.

Only in this way can he truly possess his own power.

……

The roars grew fainter and fainter.

Despite his immense success, Ji Yunfeng was gradually consumed by evil energy.

His soul had struggled repeatedly, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.

In the end, he could only be unwillingly and completely devoured by endless evil thoughts.

Once the soul is extinguished, the body falls from mid-air.

And the phantom sword suddenly lost control.

With its original owner gone, the Phantom Sword was greatly affected.

Not only was his aura disordered, but the sword spirit was also severely injured by the backlash.

The Phantom Sword wobbled in mid-air but didn't leave, as if it wanted to avenge its master.

Xuan Yan stood in mid-air, looking at the Phantom Sword's appearance, not knowing why.

I felt a strange pang of sadness in my heart.

It also felt ridiculous.

All his misfortunes stemmed from this phantom sword.

But in the end, it came to avenge its enemies.

It's so ridiculous.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Xuan Yan laughed loudly, but his voice was full of melancholy.

He laughed for a while before finally suppressing his inner turmoil.

Staring at the phantom sword, a complex emotion flashed through his mind, but it quickly turned into an unwavering resolve.

He then rushed toward the Phantom Sword and personally devoured its sword spirit.

The sword fell to the ground with a thud, striking everyone's hearts.

Even the unlucky guy sensed something was wrong and stood silently to the side.

Without its spirit, the Phantom Sword is nothing but an empty shell.

Xuan Yan landed expressionlessly, looking at the Phantom Sword lying alone on the ground, discarded like a worn-out shoe, and the depression in his heart finally dissipated.

This was something that plagued him his entire life, a demon he could never escape.

Now, he has finally settled this score himself.

From now on, he will no longer have to worry about this.

He can finally face everything...

Xuan Yan felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders; he had already decided on a home for the Phantom Sword.

"Could you give me a little time?"

He asked Song Wanning.

Song Wanning nodded.

"Do as you please."

Xuan Yan nodded slightly, then took the Phantom Sword and entered the cave.

He then obtained a set of weapon-forging tools from Song Wanning and began forging weapons again after many years.

This time, however, it was to melt the Phantom Sword.

It also melts away his past.

Song Wanning looked at him, already guessing what was going on, and remained silent.

She simply waited silently outside, then put away the array she had set up. Things were progressing much more smoothly than she had imagined; Xuan Yan was able to take his revenge largely thanks to his continuous absorption of evil energy.

He actually managed to fuse with the evil energy in such a short time; he deserved it...

……

The sounds of clattering and knocking echoed continuously from the cave, creating a pleasant melody that reverberated throughout the forest.

Song Wanning listened carefully with her eyes closed, and couldn't help but admire Xuan Yan's skill in weapon crafting.

If he hadn't been held back all these years, his achievements would be unimaginable...

Even top-tier immortal artifacts or divine artifacts have a chance of being successfully crafted.

What a pity.

Song Wanning felt sorry for Xuan Yan, and wondered if he would continue to study weapon crafting in the future.

It's such a waste to have such great talent.

More than ten days later, the sounds from the cave finally stopped.

A short while later, Xuan Yan came out and handed a pile of illegible materials to Song Wanning.

"You can add these materials when you're crafting magical artifacts in the future; they might be of some use."

These materials are all growth-type materials, and even in the Immortal Realm, they are very precious.

He didn't want to use these things anymore, so giving them to Song Wanning was the most suitable option.

If Song Wanning doesn't need it, she can give it away if she wants.

He casually handed the items to Song Wanning, and his mood brightened.

Xuan Yan's soul now exudes a sense of clarity. Even though he is a demon, he doesn't seem gloomy or evil. Instead, he seems very down-to-earth.

Seeing the change in Xuan Yan, Song Wanning smiled.

Indeed, revenge is the only way to resolve this inner conflict.

In this world, there has never been anything like repaying evil with good, nor should there be.

"Thank you!"

She put the materials away and accepted Xuan Yan's kind gesture.

"Now you are free!"

Song Wanning suddenly spoke, instantly freezing the otherwise warm atmosphere.

The unlucky guy stared wide-eyed at Song Wanning in surprise.

Xuan Yan is a great help now, does Master want to let him go?
Xuan Yan was also taken aback.

He didn't even think in that direction.

From the moment he made the contract with Song Wanning, he had already decided to follow her.

Having avenged his great enemy, his thoughts were not on leaving Song Wanning, but on helping her to deal with that damned Wood Sculpture Industry in the future.

Now Song Wanning has taken the initiative to offer him his freedom...

A strange feeling welled up in Xuan Yan's heart.

He didn't feel happy at all.

Logically, he should be very happy to have regained his freedom.

Xuan Yan suppressed his feelings and looked at Song Wanning with a serious expression.

"You don't need me anymore?"

An indescribable feeling rapidly spread through my heart.

Xuan Yan's lips were taut, but he didn't want to reveal his true feelings at all.

"It's not that I don't need you anymore, but that you don't need to hide anymore."

"From now on, you can embrace the sun again and face a new life."

Song Wanning answered with a smile.

The two had been friends ever since Xuan Yan agreed to cooperate with her.

Now that her friend has finally avenged his family, she naturally won't keep people confined to her side anymore.

As she spoke, she directly terminated the contract between the two of them.

That wondrous connection, originating from the depths of one's soul, simply vanished.

Xuan Yan's expression turned somewhat cold, but another emotion surged even more intensely within him.

He stared intently at Song Wanning, his admiration and affection for her growing stronger.

This is what a truly confident person is like.

She doesn't care about any help she receives; she only cares about her own strength!
