On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, I was executed and became Yang Jian's brother-in-law.

The video continues.

Deep in the river, a giant python carried the unconscious girl and swam a very, very far distance.

When the girl awoke again, she found herself lying in a cave. Her shoulder wound had healed, and although she was still weak, she was at least alive.

Beside her, the giant python coiled up, its cold, vertical pupils silently watching her.

The girl paused for a moment, then tears streamed down her face again.

"Thank you so much... for saving my life, senior..."

She thanked them, her voice choked with emotion, but there was no desire to live in her eyes.

A few days later, the girl's condition was completely stable.

The giant python looked at her, its meaning clear—you can leave now.

But the girl stood still, motionless.

She looked up, her tearful eyes resembling those of an abandoned puppy, so pitiful.

"Senior..." the girl's voice trembled, "Since...since you want to send me away now, why did you save me in the first place?"

She spoke slowly, each word seeming to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart.

"I'm...homeless...nowhere to go..."

"My parents are dead, my brothers are dead... I'm all alone in the whole world..."

"I don't want to live anymore... I really don't want to live anymore..."

"But you insisted on saving me... you insisted on letting me live..."

"Now you want to kick me out again..."

"Senior, where...are you asking me to go?"

As the girl spoke, she started crying again.

The giant python remained silent for a long time.

Looking at the broken girl before it, it suddenly felt a little irritated.

Damn it!

I shouldn't have meddled in other people's business in the first place!

But now, seeing the girl's desperate eyes, it finally softened.

The giant python sighed, transformed into a streak of blue light, and then took on a human form.

He was a young man dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome face, but his brows held a hint of ferocity.

"Alright, alright, stop crying!" Su Bai said impatiently, "You can stay for now!"

"But let's be clear from the start, I'm only taking you in temporarily. Once you're able to live independently, you'll have to leave!"

He spoke with a tough tone, but the girl could tell that this senior was not as cold as he appeared.

"Thank you so much, senior!" The girl smiled through her tears.

However, neither she nor Su Bai expected that this "temporary" period would last for many years.

Because the Heavenly Court has not given up searching for Yang Chan.

The Jade Emperor decreed that this escaped "bastard child" must be brought back!

Thus, Su Bai had no choice but to embark on a long escape with Yang Chan...

Time flew by in the water mirror, presenting scene after scene of escape.

It was in a desolate, wild place.

The heavenly soldiers pursued them, celestial light tore through the sky, and all sorts of spells rained down!

The giant python protected the girl, its scales torn and bleeding profusely. Yet it remained steadfastly in front of her, protecting her from any harm!

"You beast! Today is your death day!"

"Hand over Yao Ji's daughter, and I'll spare your life!"

"Stubborn resistance will only lead to a more miserable death!"

The heavenly soldiers roared and launched continuous attacks.

But the giant python is no longer the weak snake demon it once was. Years of fleeing and fighting have caused its cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds!

It opened its blood-red maw and unleashed a divine lightning bolt of water, instantly blasting three heavenly soldiers into dust!

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

The remaining heavenly soldiers finally became afraid and fled in panic.

Once it was certain the heavenly soldiers were far away, the giant python breathed a sigh of relief, but its injuries were already extremely severe. It struggled back to the cave, transformed into human form, and collapsed to the ground.

"senior!"

Yang Chan exclaimed in surprise and rushed over, tears streaming down her face.

She hurriedly took out herbs from her bosom and carefully cleaned Su Bai's wounds. The girl's movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of hurting him.

"It's alright..." Su Bai said weakly, "I won't die..."

"Senior, please don't speak!" Yang Chan's tears fell in a steady stream. "It's all Chan'er's fault... it's all because of Chan'er that you suffered such serious injuries..."

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Su Bai closed his eyes, "I knew it would turn out like this..."

Moonlight streamed in through the cave entrance.

Yang Chan stayed by Su Bai's side all night without sleeping. She just watched him quietly, her eyes filled with worry and guilt.

The scene then changes.

It was a snowy night.

Inside the cave, Yang Chan huddled up, shivering from the cold. She was only dressed in thin clothes, which offered no protection against the chill.

Upon seeing this, the giant python sighed and wrapped its massive body around her. The demon's high body temperature quickly dispelled the chill emanating from the girl.

Yang Chan paused for a moment, then carefully leaned against the giant python's scales and closed her eyes.

"Senior..." she said softly, "Thank you..."

The giant python did not answer, but simply guarded her silently.

There was one more time.

Su Bai was teaching Yang Chan the methods of cultivation.

"You have good talent, far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators," Su Bai instructed. "Although this 'Profound Yin Body Forging Technique' is rudimentary, its strength lies in its solid foundation. If you practice diligently, you will surely achieve great things in the future."

Yang Chan listened attentively and then practiced repeatedly.

She was very hardworking and talented. In just a few months, she mastered this technique to the point of minor success!

"Senior, did I do a good job practicing?" The girl's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Hmm, not bad." Su Bai rarely showed a smile.

Over the North Sea.

Yang Jian's eyes reddened as he looked at these images.

He had no idea that his third sister had spent those years being lost like this...

They fled constantly, enduring hardship and displacement, with the constant threat of losing their lives...

And that python demon—no, it was Su Bai—had always protected her, taught her cultivation, and given her a glimmer of hope for survival in this chaotic world...

"Third sister..." Yang Jian murmured to himself, his voice full of heartache.

on the screen.

As time went on, the aura emanating from Su Bai became increasingly strange.

That's malevolent energy!

The malevolent energy was so intense that it almost materialized!

Over the years, in order to protect Yang Chan and to evade the Heavenly Court's pursuit, Su Bai has killed countless heavenly soldiers and generals! Some kill as few as three or five, others as many as a dozen!

Every act of killing leaves behind karmic debt of bloodshed on him!

As this karma accumulated, it began to erode his mind, making him increasingly violent and bloodthirsty!

The Lingxiao Palace.

The immortals shook their heads and sighed as they looked at the dense malevolent aura emanating from Su Bai in the scene.

"What a pity... This demon originally cultivated the righteous path, and if he had continued step by step, he would surely have had the chance to become an immortal in the future..."

"But now the sins he has committed are too great, and he is burdened by karmic debt; he may be on the verge of becoming a demon!"

"The path of slaughter is most likely to lead to the loss of one's true nature. Though this demon is powerful, it will ultimately be unable to escape the torment of its inner demons!"

Venus sighed, "What a pity. This demon has extraordinary talent; if he had been born elsewhere, he might have achieved great things. But he just had to get involved in this case..."

The immortals had complex expressions.

Ultimately, this matter is related to the Jade Emperor's family!

If the Heavenly Court hadn't been chasing Yang Chan, why would this python demon have killed so many heavenly soldiers? And why would it have been entangled in malevolent energy and turned to the demonic path?

But now that the Jade Emperor has accepted Yang Jian and Yang Chan as his wives, how to handle this matter is quite delicate!

The Yang Jian of today is no longer the down-on-his-luck youth he once was.

He was the most outstanding disciple among the three generations of the Chan Sect!

He is a general highly regarded by the Heavenly Court!

He is Erlang Shen Zhenjun, who made great contributions in the battle to capture the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!

Would the Jade Emperor dare to offend such a person easily?

But if Su Bai is not punished, where will the Heavenly Court's reputation be?

The immortals whispered among themselves, all waiting to see how the Jade Emperor would decide.
