With Li Qingyue's help, Shen Shuchou's injuries were relieved and he stopped bleeding, but the shocking wound could not be healed under the nourishment of true qi.

A terrifying demonic aura flowed within it, as if it were alive, churning and writhing within the flesh and blood.

The skin around his chest was now an eerie black, with demonic energy constantly emanating from it, carrying a chilling aura.

This demonic energy seemed to come from a demon in the abyss, emanating a suffocating aura, and was now constantly eroding Shen Shuchou's flesh and blood.

"Waaaaah..."

Pei Rou's small face was already streaked with tears, and she was too frightened to speak at the sight.

Amidst this bloody and bizarre scene, Shen Shuchou's face remained unusually calm, and his voice gently comforted Pei Rou, who was crying uncontrollably in his arms: "Brother will be alright, he won't die."

Those eyes were filled with worry as they looked to the other side, where Li Qingyue and the man in black were still continuously channeling their true energy into Wen Yanyu.

Compared to Shen Shuchou, Wen Yanyu's condition was even worse at this moment.

"No, my true energy can't block it at all."

Li Qingyue's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Her true energy was injected into Wen Yanyu's body, but it quickly disappeared, unable to stop the loss of life force at all; it could only provide temporary relief.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou's expression turned extremely grim. "Senior, is there really no other way?"

Li Qingyue shook her head slightly, but hesitated and said, "Unless a powerful expert with even higher cultivation intervenes, she will surely die."

Based on the conversation just now, Li Qingyue knew that the little girl in front of her was actually the younger sister of that demonic cultivator.

Despite this, Li Qingyue still tried her best to save Wen Yanyu, but unfortunately, she lacked the power to do so.

At this moment, Wen Yanyu suddenly forced herself to sit up and refused the influx of true energy from Li Qingyue and the other person.

Wen Yanyu's face was deathly pale, and she knew her current condition all too well.

The lifeline of cultivation has been severed, and the vitality of the body is flowing away at an alarming rate. Even if true energy is continuously poured in, it is only temporary and cannot completely stop the loss of vitality.

She knew she was going to die, but if her death could awaken her third sister, then it would be worth it for Wen Yanyu.

Even if she could do it all over again, she would still make the same choice. And right now, her biggest worry is Wen Muxuan, as she doesn't know where the other person is.

After leaving the Wen family, Wen Yanyu had been searching for Wen Muxuan. She had to wake her third sister from her demonic state before the sect found out.

However, her speed at the Golden Core stage was far inferior to Wen Muxuan's, but fortunately, she could accurately know the other party's location.

After chasing for three days, Wen Yanyu finally caught up with Wen Muxuan in Qingshui County.

However, upon arriving, he witnessed Wen Muxuan about to kill someone, and that person was none other than Shen Shuchou.

Wen Yanyu had not expected that her reunion with Shen Shuchou would take place in this way.

This scene shocked Wen Yanyu, but she didn't have time to think about it. Without any hesitation, she chose to stand in front of Shen Shuchou.

Wen Yanyu's gaze lingered on Shen Shuchou, her pale lips twitching slightly as if she wanted to say something.

Wen Yanyu wasn't stupid either. Wen Muxuan had said she was going to take revenge, but the person she went to in the blink of an eye was Shen Shuchou.

An unbelievable guess suddenly popped into her mind, but guesses are just guesses, and she wanted to hear it from Shen Shuchou himself.

"I didn't do it."

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou sighed inwardly, knowing what she wanted to ask, and immediately spoke.

When Wen Yanyu heard that the Wen family's tragic fate was not caused by Shen Shuchou, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't choose to doubt Shen Shuchou's words, and in Wen Yanyu's heart, she was unwilling to believe that Shen Shuchou would do such a thing.

If Shen Shuchou were truly the kind of murderer, why would he have waited three years before unleashing his killing spree, resulting in the deaths of not only the Wen family but also the entire population of Jiangyun County?

But if it wasn't Shen Shuchou who did it, then who is the real culprit?

At this moment, Shen Shuchou slowly told the Wen family everything.

When Wen Yanyu heard that the culprit was a purple-haired woman, her eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help but think of someone.

"Is her name Ye Xie?"

A fierce look appeared on Wen Yanyu's pale face as he hurriedly pressed for an answer.

Shen Shuchou was slightly taken aback. He did not know the name of the purple-haired woman, but he seemed to have a guess in his mind after seeing Wen Yanyu's actions.

Shen Shuchou didn't say anything more. Instead, he handed the letter in his arms to Wen Yanyu, as if it held the answer she was looking for.

With trembling hands, Wen Yanyu struggled to prop up her weak body, her gaze slowly shifting to the letter in her hand.

But as her gaze gradually fell upon the contents of the letter, glistening tears, like pearls from a broken string, slid down her cheeks and streamed down her face.

Wen Yanyu's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she was unable to make a sound.

The tears seemed to be endless sorrow and pain, gradually flooding her eyes and her heart.

At this moment, Wen Yanyu's world seemed to consist only of this letter and the sorrow in her heart.

Her body trembled slightly, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if she might collapse at any moment.

But Wen Yanyu still held on, refusing to let herself completely break down.

The letter contained very simple information: Wen Ming had no intention of surviving even after the destruction of the Wen family.

Similarly, in order not to become a burden to the two women, he decisively chose to end his life.

The letter also mentioned a name, the culprit behind the destruction of the Wen family, Ye Xie, whose name quietly appeared in Wen Yanyu's eyes.

"It was that bitch! She's my sister's senior in school. My sister met her once before she left."

Wen Yanyu now fully understood.

When Shen Shuchou heard that Ye Xie was Wen Muxuan's senior sister, he understood as well.

No wonder Wen Muxuan misunderstood him; it turns out it all stemmed from this person.

"I'm going to kill her, you slut."

Wen Yanyu's face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.

Wen Yanyu now wished she could tear Ye Xie to pieces immediately.

She hated Ye Xie for being utterly inhuman, for slaughtering the entire Jiangyun County, and for killing all her relatives at his hands.

She hated Ye Xie for turning her sister into a demonic state.

She hated that her third sister was still kept in the dark.

She regretted not being able to personally avenge her father and mother, the entire Wen family, and the entire Jiangyun County.

Because at this moment, she was becoming increasingly listless, like a candle flickering in the wind, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment.

After hearing the whole story, Li Qingyue's expression, hidden behind her veil, was somewhat complicated, with a hint of pity in her eyes.

It turned out that she had misunderstood the woman from before; the woman was merely a pawn of the person behind the scenes.

The real demonic cultivators had been hiding within the Hidden Moon Sword Sect all along, but why hadn't the Hidden Moon Sword Sect noticed anything? Li Qingyue was slightly puzzled.

At the same time, I felt deep sympathy for the two sisters. One of them fell into demonic possession because of hatred, and it is probably unlikely that she will have another chance to wake up.

The other person was also seriously injured and about to die. Li Qingyue felt sorry for him but was powerless to help at the moment.

With great difficulty, Wen Yanyu raised her eyes to take one last look at Shen Shuchou. At this moment, her eyes were filled with gray, and her pale lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she was too weak to make a sound.

Those tearful eyes reflected a mixture of sorrow and hatred.

Sorrow, like the deep darkness of night, enveloped her soul, making it hard for her to breathe.

Hatred, on the other hand, burns like a raging flame in a gray world, intense and resolute.

Seeing Wen Yanyu like this, Shen Shuchou felt a pang of heartache.

Deep down, he was extremely unwilling to see the Wen family become like this, nor did he want the two Wen family daughters to fall into such a state.

Whether it's Wen Muxuan, who considers him a friend, or Wen Yanyu, whom he once saved, it doesn't matter.

In fact, it wasn't just them; even the people around Shen Shuchou in his previous two lives suffered the same fate.

Shen Shuchou didn't know if this was something they were supposed to experience, or if it was due to system intervention.

But no matter what, all of this seems to be inextricably linked to Shen Shuchou.

At this moment, Shen Shuchou was somewhat dazed. He suddenly felt that the Ninth World was a world shrouded in sorrow.

Everyone is a victim of fate, not just the Wen sisters, but also the heroine Pei Rou in her arms.

In the end, wasn't Shen Shuchou the same way?

His adoptive parents died in a demonic calamity, and he himself could not escape the pursuit of fate, dying on an ordinary night.

But fate gave him another chance. He had to help these female protagonists quickly become villains in nine lifetimes in order to return to Earth. Right now, he was only in his third lifetime.

Perhaps, just as Shen Shuchou said before, this is the path he must take, a path he must persevere on despite his tragic fate.

At that moment, a powerful aura suddenly descended, instantly pulling Shen Shuchou back from his thoughts.

Li Qingyue's expression changed instantly, as a white-robed old man suddenly appeared in her line of sight.

The powerful aura immediately immobilized the group, but fortunately, the old man did not reveal any dangerous aura.

Wen Yanyu also sensed a figure in front of her, but she was too weak; she could barely open her eyes.

But the next moment, a surge of true energy several times stronger than Li Qingyue's instantly flowed into Wen Yanyu's body.

In the eyes of Shen Shuchou and the others, Wen Yanyu's body, which was on the verge of death, was now like a blazing bonfire, full of vibrant life.

Wen Yanyu gradually opened her slightly closed eyes. When she saw the old man in front of her, she was immediately taken aback. For a moment, she did not know whether to be happy or worried.

"master."

Wen Yanyu called out softly.

Her master was named Taiyue Zhenren, one of the three Supreme Elders of the Yanyue Sect, and also a powerful figure standing at the top of the cultivation world, whose cultivation at the Mahayana Realm was astonishing.

The arrival of her master means that she will not die, and she has a chance to take revenge on Ye Xie.

But what follows is the fact that Third Sister has fallen into demonic possession, which will probably be difficult to hide from Master and the sect.

"What happened?"

Master Taiyue's expression was unreadable, revealing neither joy nor anger, but rather a chilling aura.

He deliberately left a trace of his aura on Wen Yanyu so that he could sense her presence immediately should she encounter any danger.

This is a natural-born swordsman, a natural talent for sword cultivation. He is a prodigy who can reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm in just three years, even while cultivating casually. Naturally, Master Taiyue regards Wen Yanyu as a precious gem in his palm.

But today, while he was in seclusion, he suddenly discovered that the aura he had left on Wen Yanyu was disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

This discovery immediately shocked and angered Master Taiyue.

What was shocking was that the disappearance of breath meant Wen Yanyu's death.

What angered him was that someone actually dared to touch his disciple, Master Taiyue.

Master Taiyue disregarded his seclusion and rushed over immediately, eager to see which fool dared to harm his disciple.

However, upon arriving here, they found the atmosphere somewhat strange. On one side were two juniors at the Nascent Soul stage, and on the other side were two mortals.

Wen Yanyu lowered her head and remained silent, clearly not wanting to talk about Wen Muxuan.

Even though Wen Muxuan was led astray by Ye Xie, the Hidden Moon Sword Sect wouldn't care about such things.

Out of consideration for the reputation of righteous sects, they would only ruthlessly kill Wen Muxuan.

Seeing that Wen Yanyu remained silent, Master Taiyue frowned slightly but did not press the matter further.

Instead, he turned to Li Qingyue and the other woman and said, "You two tell me."

Wen Yanyu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Li Qingyue with a nervous expression.

Li Qingyue seemed oblivious to Wen Yanyu's gaze, and lowered her head slightly, speaking respectfully to the unfathomable old man before her: "In reply to Senior, I have only just arrived here, so I am unaware of what is happening here."

Li Qingyue felt deep sympathy for the sisters' plight, so she did not reveal the truth, even though the person in front of her was an unfathomable powerhouse.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yanyu's tense heart immediately relaxed. She hadn't expected that Li Qingyue would keep this matter a secret for her.

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Taiyue snorted coldly. How could he not see that Li Qingyue was trying to trap him with those words?

He felt a surge of dissatisfaction; how dare a mere Nascent Soul cultivator lie to him?

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body and enveloped Li Qingyue.

Under this terrifying, mountain-like pressure, Li Qingyue swayed precariously, but she gritted her teeth and held on.

"Please forgive me, senior. I am a disciple of the Qin Jian Sect."

Upon seeing this, the man in black immediately added.

Upon hearing that the disciple was from the Qin Jian Sect, Master Taiyue pondered for a moment before withdrawing his imposing aura.

"snort!"

"Return to the clan."

Master Taiyue let out another cold snort; he did not choose to force himself to know what had happened here.

He then waved his hand, and a surge of true energy enveloped Wen Yanyu, lifting her up.

At this moment, Wen Yanyu looked at Shen Shuchou, as if she wanted to talk to her about something.

But Master Taiyue did not give her that chance, and the two of them disappeared from the spot in an instant.
