"Hey, hey, have you heard? The Lingyun Sect was massacred overnight! All the disciples, elders, and the sect leader are dead, not a single one survived."

"What?!"

"Wasn't Lingyun Sect supposed to be the number one sect for cultivating immortality? How could they have been massacred?"

"Who did this?"

"have no idea."

"However, some people guess it was Jiang Zuiqian, saying it was for revenge."

"Jiang Zui?! That Nascent Soul stage cultivator? It can't be, right?"

"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense. I heard it was the new Demon Lord who did it."

"It's strange, the Demon Lord had only been dead for a few days when a new Demon Lord was born."

I've heard that the new Demon Lord is more powerful than the previous one.

After taking power, he shouted that he was challenging the four major sects and wanted to fight them to the death.

He wants to slaughter all cultivators in the cultivation world, and make the entire cultivation world respect him and worship him as their master.

Alas, I fear a war between immortals and demons is inevitable; only the outcome remains to be seen.

After Meng Zhe and Yu Miao's wedding ceremony, Jiang Zui took Ji Qiyin on a journey.

Because the last task issued by the system—the war between immortals and demons—has not yet begun.

Jiang Zui originally wanted to find the source and cut it off directly.

After searching for a long time, Jiang Zui found a few demons who looked like they could instigate a war between immortals and demons, and dealt with them casually.

However, the system did not display a success message.

Until he remembered that most of the major events, such as the war between immortals and demons, were related to the protagonist.

He then took Ji Qiyin back to the small town at the foot of Lingyun Sect Mountain.

I never expected to hear these words.

Jiang Zui and Ji Qiyin looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes.

Jiang Zui did not ask the villagers, but instead took Ji Qiyin directly to Lingyun Sect.

Jiang Zui frowned when he saw that the Lingyun Sect's mountain gate was empty and unguarded.

The deeper Jiang Zui went, the more uneasy he felt. It wasn't until he used his divine sense to investigate the entire Lingyun Sect that he finally learned the truth.

Just as the villagers said, Lingyun Sect was completely wiped out.

Just as Jiang Zui was about to speak, a dirty-looking man suddenly emerged from the woods.

The man's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Zui. Ignoring the mud on his face, he rushed over and said excitedly, "Second Senior Brother, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

This person was Yu Miao. After escaping, he discovered that the entire Lingyun Sect had met with misfortune. Fearing that Meng Zhe would not let him go, he secretly went into hiding.

Only now, after sensing Jiang Zui's presence, did he dare to show himself.

Jiang Zui was startled by the sudden accident, but fortunately, Ji Qiyin had heard Yu Miao's voice and remembered it.

Just as Yu Miao was about to pounce on Jiang Zui, Ji Qiyin reacted quickly and pulled her away.

Yu Miao was furious when Ji Qiyin prevented her from getting close to Jiang Zui.

He still thought Jiang Zui was the doting and caring second senior brother who used to spoil him, but little did he know that the person had long since changed.

"Yu Miao?" Jiang Zui asked uncertainly.

"It's me, Second Senior Brother." Yu Miao's eyes welled up with tears as if she had found a relative, and she spoke with a tone full of longing.

Jiang Zui, oblivious to Yu Miao's tone, asked to himself, "What happened at Lingyun Sect? Why are all the people gone overnight? And... where is Meng Zhe?"

Upon hearing Jiang Zui mention Meng Zhe, Yu Miao shuddered violently, then angrily reported to Jiang Zui:

"Second senior brother, all the fellow disciples... are all dead. Meng Zhe suddenly became a demon for some reason, and his cultivation level has increased a lot. Even the elders and my father combined were no match for him, and they all perished."

If I hadn't secretly hidden myself, I might be dead too.

Yu Miao did not tell Jiang Zui about killing Yu Zhengming and gaining a chance to live, because he was worried that Jiang Zui would think he was unfilial.

"Becoming a demon?" Ji Qiyin asked.

Yu Miao rolled her eyes at Ji Qiyin and ignored him.

Hmph! She's just a tool Jiang Zui uses to make him jealous; she's not worthy to talk to him.

Jiang Zui observed Yu Miao's behavior and said coldly, "A Yin is asking you a question, speak up."

Under the threatening gaze of Jiang Zui, Yu Miao said with dissatisfaction, "Well, I don't know what Meng Zhe did, but he became possessed by a demon and launched a sneak attack on Lingyun Sect in the middle of the night when they were not paying attention."

"Oh no!" Upon hearing this, an unfortunate consequence flashed through Ji Qiyin's mind. "Jiang Zui, go to the Demon Soul Cave."

Jiang Zui immediately had an idea.

Not really.

How could it possibly be related to the Demon Soul Cave?

This scene was not in the original script.

The original script's war between immortals and demons was caused by the Demon Lord.

But the Demon Lord was clearly killed by him... Where did this Demon Lord come from?

Jiang Zui and Ji Qiyin ignored Yu Miao and headed straight for the Demon Soul Cave.

Upon arriving at the Demon Soul Cave, Ji Qiyin was deathly pale. He said, "Jiang Zui, the most powerful demon in the Demon Soul Cave is gone."

"What?!"

"That demon is named Anming, and he is... the former Demon Lord of the Demon Clan."

"what!"

Damn, the plot even has its own self-supplementation.

After killing one demon lord, another demon lord's grandfather appeared.

never mind!

No matter how many demon lords there are, kill them one by one, or two by two.

Ji Qiyin's expression was solemn, and he said with a worried tone, "Jiang Zui, Anming has no physical body. I suspect that Anming lured Meng Zhe and secretly released Anming while I was away."

But... I just heard Yu Miao mention that Meng Zhe has fallen into demonic possession. Perhaps... Meng Zhe is already dead, and the one currently occupying Meng Zhe's body is An Ming.

Jiang Zui asked with some doubt, "A Yin, didn't you leave behind a part of your true form before you left? How was An Ming able to escape?"

"Anming's cultivation level is very high. I can suppress him with a part of my true body, but... but only if there is no outside help."

"You once told me of the Demon Soul Cave's infamous name; I never thought anyone would dare to come here."

Ji Qiyin looked remorseful, which made Jiang Zui feel sorry for him. "Qiyin, don't blame yourself."

"It's not your fault, and you never expected this to happen."

"Jiang Zui, actually... I feel that An Ming doesn't seem to be a member of the Tu Lingyun Sect."

I know a bit about Anming; I know he's not interested in killing.

"Alright, stop overthinking," Jiang Zui reassured him. "We'll find out once we meet that Demon Lord."

A hint of ferocity flashed in Jiang Zui's eyes. Now, there were two possibilities.

First, Anming possessed Meng Zhe's body, ascended to the position of Demon Lord, and ordered an attack on the four major sects.

But according to Ji Xiyin, perhaps the person who did all this was Meng Zhe.

The thought of this possibility made Jiang Zui shout in his heart:

The protagonist has turned into the villain leader.

And the original official couple has become enemies.

This ending... is truly heartening.
