Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 33 33. Breaking the Illusion
"At first, I really liked Jian Guyang's sword because it was fierce and could cut down all enemies in the world."

Suddenly, Lu Changyuan remembered that rainy night when they were being chased. They stumbled into a cave, where there were two skeletons. Next to the skeletons was a small futon with two martial arts manuals on it.

A book called "Sixteen Bright Moon Flower Needles"

The other one is this one, "A Sword Comes from the West".

"As fierce as the sun, it strikes out with absolute dominance."

Darkness is a pitch-black sea, with surging, monstrous waves crashing against the fragile shore, causing earth-shattering shocks.

Some people heard the tsunami.

Some people also heard the sound of Buddhist chants.

But more often, all that was heard was a calm "Disperse."

That sword light shattered the darkness of the Demon Kingdom; the pitch-black night and the parched fire vanished under that single strike.

The light rose and set at the place where the sun set, traversing the entire city, and finally hanging high in the sky, as if it had become a second sunset. The enormous demonic body was annihilated inch by inch, as if it had never existed in this world.

The entire sky began to shatter with a single point of fragility, eventually peeling away like an eggshell. The black rain, containing a maddening demonic power, was ultimately cleansed by this sword. And after that came the dazzling flames that burst forth after being suppressed to the extreme, and the sun that threatened to scorch people.

"But later, I gradually felt that this sword had too many drawbacks. This sword was too fierce, indiscriminate between friend and foe, and between immortals and mortals."

Lu Changyuan's voice drifted on the breeze, seemingly addressed to no one in particular: "But it is most suitable for vanquishing demons."

Xia Lianxue tilted her head back, pursed her lips, and the scorching breath stung her skin just by looking at it. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cherry-colored lips opened and closed several times, but in the end, she did not say a word.

Li Qingcao, suppressing the shuriken in his hand, asked casually, "Is it too late to become sworn brothers with Brother Lu and have him teach me this sword technique?"

No one answered him.

The blindfolded girl finally said, "It's not up to me at all."

The entire Liuqing Lake was completely submerged by a huge white light.

~~~~~~~~~~~
"haven't seen you for a long time."

In the blink of an eye, Lu Changyuan found himself in a pure white place with a square table in front of him. Sitting in the chair directly opposite Lu Changyuan was a short-haired man wearing a black robe and a gold-carved crown.

This is Su Wuxiang.

Beside Su Wuxiang, Luan Rumeng, with her hair styled in an elegant updo and dressed in a light gold phoenix robe, said, "Brother Lu is here. Thank you so much. Please have a seat."

Lu Changyuan remained silent for a long time, then sighed, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Long time no see, Wuxiang."

Su Wuxiang waved his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? This is my last thought. I have been rid of the demon of desire. I have been corrupted for too long and can no longer live. This is the last time I will see you."

Lu Changyuan remained silent, but there was a hint of unreadable emotion in his eyes.

Su Wuxiang said, "Don't cry. I finally managed to see you while I was sober. Let's not get sentimental. Come on, it's been a long time since we drank together."

A jar of wine appeared on the table. Su Wuxiang waved his hand, and two more glass wine cups appeared. He frowned and said, "We brothers shouldn't use these things."

Then the jade and glass wine cup disappeared, and two large bowls appeared in front of us.

Luan Rumeng stood up and poured wine for Su Wuxiang and Lu Changyuan. Su Wuxiang grabbed the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then laughed heartily: "It's been almost a thousand years since we last toasted together."

"Yes." Lu Changyuan also picked up his wine bowl and drank the wine in one gulp.

Su Wuxiang shook his head with a smile: "I can't find the taste of drinking with you back then. You and I chased the demonic cultivator for three thousand miles with swords and horses, and finally cut off his head. We drank that strong liquor at a nearby mortal tavern. That was the most delicious liquor I've ever tasted in my life. I haven't drunk it since."

Lu Changyuan seemed to recall the burning taste of that cheap liquor, but he didn't laugh along. He simply said, "If you hadn't injured his leg, we might not have been able to catch up."

Su Wuxiang also recalled that day, laughed heartily, and said, "What about our Sun and Moon Palace? We agreed to be a demonic path that devours demonic paths."

Lu Changyuan said, "No one in the Black Domain dares to provoke us."

It was once promised to be the best in the world.

The sword swept away the demons, who did not turn back.

The three members of the Sun and Moon Palace once swore to kill all the demonic cultivators in the world, thus becoming demons who slay demons. Even though the Sun and Moon Palace later disappeared with time, this demonic palace was once established on the earth.

"That's good, that's good. Never mind, you and I are both the type who don't care about the household."

Lu Changyuan suddenly slammed his hand on the table: "Can't you speak more politely?! Am I more irresponsible than you towards your family?"

Su Wuxiang laughed heartily: "I'm married now, I have a family, so I can disregard my family, unlike some people who aren't even married yet."

"Su Wuxiang, do you believe I'll personally dig up your grave someday?!"

"Oh dear, I'm so scared. What a pity, I don't have a grave! As for the imperial tomb, you can dig it up if you want."

The founding emperor of the Liuli Dynasty, dressed in imperial robes, jumped up like a child and then made a face.

Luan Rumeng patted her junior brother's shoulder and said softly, "Alright, stop acting like a child. Didn't you say you had something to give Brother Lu?"

“Oh yeah.” Su Wuxiang patted the dust off his clothes. “I was wondering how you ended up like this. Without my support, you’ve fallen on hard times. Look at your body, you have nothing, you look like you’ve been struck by lightning.”

Lu Changyuan finally couldn't hold back and smashed the bowl in his hand into Su Wuxiang's face.

"Hey, senior sister, look, someone's getting anxious."

Just as Lu Changyuan was gritting his teeth, Su Wufan turned his wrist and suddenly a fragrant pill appeared in his hand.

The nine-colored pattern has a restrained brilliance, and one can only smell the fragrance of grass and trees.

"Look, what is this?"

Lu Changyuan asked, "Where did you get the Heaven-Mending Pill?"

In this world, the Drunken Red Phoenix isn't the only rare item that can repair Lu Changyuan's five deficiencies; the Heaven-Mending Pill has the same effect.

Su Wuxiang staggered to Lu Changyuan's side and patted Lu Changyuan's shoulder: "Fifteen hundred years ago, my demonic body consumed human resentment and spirits, and also gathered the medicinal energy of some spiritual plants in the national treasury to create this pill."

Lu Changyuan reached out to take the pill, but Su Wuxiang quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Lu Changyuan with a sly smile.

"Su Wuxiang!"

"Hey, I'm getting anxious, I'm getting anxious!"

Su Wuxiang casually tossed the precious pill into the air, and it landed precisely in Lu Changyuan's hand.

He turned around, burying his dejected face: "I will bear all the sins that led to the formation of this pill for you. Eat it quickly. I need to see you well before I can leave without regrets."
