On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

Within the chaotic space.

Ye Fan was preparing to break through to the next level!

Suddenly, a violent wave of dizziness struck!

A bloody scene inexplicably appeared before his eyes, as if he had been pulled into another dimension. Everything around him was incredibly real, and he could even smell a faint stench of blood in his mouth and nose!

The walls of the Great Xia capital city have collapsed!

A million-strong army surged in from three directions, blotting out the sky!

The Prince of Zhenbei's mansion was engulfed in flames!

Hua Nongyu lay in a pool of blood, still holding a bowl of bird's nest porridge that she hadn't yet delivered!

Hua Nongyue was stabbed through the heart and collapsed on the threshold!

Tang Miaoyi, clutching her cannon blueprints, her face streaked with tears, was taken away by the remnants of the Tang Clan!

Shen Murong was covered in blood, had lost an arm, and was surrounded and killed by five Martial Grandmasters!

Consort Xiao Rong and Consort Xiao Ya died standing up, with seven or eight knives in their bodies!

A strange man sat on Li Youruo's dragon throne. She was chained to a pillar, and her dragon robe was torn to shreds!

"No!!!"

Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes!

He spat out a mouthful of blood!

His chest churned violently, his eight martial meridians trembled uncontrollably, and the internal energy within them began to become disordered: "What's going on?"

The voice of the Chaos Cauldron resounded: "Master! This is the inner demon of a martial artist!"

"Inner demons?"

Ye Fan was still shaken!

This was the first time in his life that he encountered his inner demons while practicing martial arts!

Those scenes were so realistic! Every detail is etched into my mind and I can't forget them!

"Something's not right... Calm down... Calm down!"

Ye Fan bit his tongue, and the intense pain briefly brought him back to his senses!

But those illusions surged back, even more violently than before!

The scene of the massacre in the Great Xia Dragon Capital overlapped with my memories from my past life!

In that lifetime, he also watched helplessly as the people around him died one by one!

There's nothing we can do!

Nothing can be changed!

The tragedy repeated itself in the memories of both lifetimes, completely overwhelming Ye Fan's consciousness!

"puff--!"

Another mouthful of blood!

Ye Fan knelt on one knee, his eyes bloodshot!

Just then.

In the deepest part of the chaotic space, one of the 108 stone tablets flickers with a faint light!

An aged voice rang out, tinged with weariness and nonchalance!

"Drug use has created inner demons? Young people are just so impatient!"

Ye Fan suddenly looked up: "Senior Ye Shitian!"

The inscription on the stone tablet lit up for a moment, and a wisp of remnant soul floated out, its illusory outline appearing and disappearing in the chaotic space!

It was Ye Shitian!

The soul, which had been dormant for many days, has awakened once again!

"Essence can accelerate cultivation, but if the foundation is unstable and the mind cannot keep up, inner demons will naturally arise!"

Ye Shitian's voice was calm: "What did you see?"

"The Prince's mansion was destroyed... everyone is dead..." Ye Fan clenched his fists.

Ye Shitian laughed: "Are you scared?"

Ye Fan shook his head: "It's not fear! It's resentment!"

"good!"

Ye Shitian exclaimed in admiration, "I have a method that can eradicate the scourge of inner demons!"

Ye Fan looked up: "Please enlighten me, senior!"

"The Way of Slaughter!"

As soon as those four words were spoken, the temperature in the chaotic space plummeted!

Ye Shitian solemnly declared, "Once you embark on the path of slaughter, you will have only one thought in your mind! Whoever touches the people I must protect will die!"

"No hesitation! No wavering! No fear!"

"The inner demon attacks your heart's soft spot—your fear of loss, your fear of not being able to protect it—and that's how it manages to sneak in!"

"The way of killing is not about indiscriminately slaughtering the innocent, but about severing all distracting thoughts that shake your resolve!"

Ye Fan murmured, "The Way of Slaughter..."

"Senior, if I follow this path, will I end up as a serial killer?"

Ye Shitian burst into laughter!

Laughter echoed through the chaotic space: "Boy! The Dao is dead, but man is alive!"

"With a knife in hand and a ruler in heart! Kill those who deserve to die, protect those who deserve to be protected!"

Whether or not you become a serial killer is your own choice, and has nothing to do with morality!

Ye Fan closed his eyes.

Those images flashed through my mind again!

Hua Nongyu, Hua Nongyue, Tang Miaoyi, Eighth Sister, Consort Rong, Consort Ya...

Every face is someone he would risk his life to protect!

"Senior, I understand!"

Ye Fan knelt down and kowtowed nine times!

"Master, your disciple Ye Fan begs for your teachings!"

Ye Shitian's remnant soul trembled slightly!

There was a hint of emotion on that illusory face!

"Good disciple! Get up!"

Ye Shitian raised his hand, and a golden light separated from the remnant soul and entered Ye Fan's brow!

The essence of the Way of Slaughter instantly flooded into Ye Fan's mind!

Those illusions created by inner demons crumbled like paper before this power!

Instead, there is an unprecedented clarity!

Ye Fan opened his eyes!

His gaze was calm, but now held a murderous aura!

Suddenly, Ye Fan noticed that Ye Shitian's remnant soul was even dimmer than before!

The face, which was originally quite clear, is now so blurry that the features are almost impossible to make out!

"Master! Your soul..."

Ye Shitian waved his hand: "Don't make a fuss!"

"you……"

"My soul can't hold on much longer!"

Ye Shitian's voice was calm and composed: "It was bound to happen sooner or later. Passing on my skills to you before I die doesn't mean the lineage has been severed!"

"I protected the wrong person back then, you better not repeat my mistakes..."

As the last word fell, Ye Shitian's soul fell into a deep sleep!

Ye Fan stood in front of the stone tablet, lost in thought!

Master said he was protecting the wrong person. Could it be the Star Moon Saintess he mentioned before?

……

Exit the chaotic space!

As soon as Ye Fan's consciousness returned to his body, it was already dark outside!

"Nongyu!"

"Young master, I'm here."

Hua Nongyu came running over, carrying a food box in her hand: "Young master, you must be hungry!"

"You were in seclusion for three days and three nights. I saw you meditating the whole time, so I didn't dare to disturb you."

Ye Fan then realized that he was hungry!

"What happened in these past three days?"

Hua Nongyu opened the food box, handing over a bowl of rice that had been prepared beforehand, along with several dishes: "Wang Danian sent word back that they have arrived in the East China Sea!"

"Miss Ninth and Miss Ten have been in seclusion! Miss Tang is also in seclusion! Everything at the auction house is operating normally!"

"Oh, right, His Majesty came by, but left without saying anything when he saw you were in seclusion!"

Ye Fan quickly shoveled down a few mouthfuls of rice!

"By the way, Miss Sai sent over a communication talisman, saying that you should contact her." Hua Nongyu then took out another communication talisman.

Ye Fan put down his chopsticks and frowned. "Sai Luoli? What does she want with me?"

Think for a few seconds!

Ye Fan channeled his inner energy, injecting it into the Thousand-Mile Transmission Talisman!

Less than ten breaths later, a grave voice came from the other end: "Ye Fan! What are you doing? I gave you the communication talisman two days ago! Why are you only contacting me now?"

"Are you angry because I gave you the wrong price for Geng metal? You're such a petty man!"

There was even a hint of sarcasm in his voice!

Ye Fan said calmly, "I've been in seclusion for the past few days. What's the matter?"

Sai Luoli was taken aback and immediately said, "You still have the mood for seclusion? I've heard about what happened in the Great Xia Dragon Capital!"

"Don't you know? The Purple Gold Flower family is using their connections to find out whether Ye Shitian is alive or dead!"

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow!

He didn't say anything!

Cyril continued:

"They've hired people from the Star Moon Holy Land, and they're incredibly generous! Furthermore, in the past few days, the Purple Gold Flower family has already allied with the Fusang Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Once they confirm that there is no Ye Shitian at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Two million troops are pressing in! At that time, your entire Great Xia Dragon Kingdom will be reduced to scorched earth!"

Upon hearing this, the image of the inner demon from before flashed before Ye Fan's eyes once again!

next second.

"hehe!"

Ye Fan sneered, "There is absolutely no way I will repeat the mistakes of my past life!"

"If they dare to come, I'll kill them all!"
