After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

That's not right either—

The gossip and trends across the land are actually not in the hands of the woman in front of you.

Following the tavern owner's gaze, Shi Hongjian looked toward "Starry Sky Square".

On "Starry Sky Plaza", Shi Yan still maintained the posture of pointing his sword to the sky. The sharp edge of the sword swept up the frost, the sword intent was solitary and the sword momentum was powerful, yet it was like mountains and rivers hanging upside down.

Shi Hongjian knew the truth perfectly well.

The woman in front of him had come for Shi Yan.

Even though she had initially been impressed by Shi Yan, and even though she had a thousand or ten thousand thoughts of wanting to chop Shi Yan to pieces, she ultimately suppressed them all because of a few words from the woman in front of her.

But... after seeing the way the tavern owner looked at Shi Yan, Shi Hongjian still felt somewhat unhappy.

It's like seeing someone else coveting your treasure.

That feeling was different from when he saw Shi Yan causing trouble for Shi Wei, Shi Hongjian, or even the girls of the "Shangyue Sect", "Qinghai Demon Sect", "Taiyi Sect" and "Qinglian Sword Sect".

The latter is like your own child bullying someone else's child.

But... the woman in front of me was completely different.

The situation is completely reversed.

"I had no idea that the Pavilion Master would personally come... I am so sorry for not greeting you properly..."

Shi Hongjian wanted to attract the attention of the tavern owner.

For so many years, she had never seen this person leave the tavern, but today he broke his rule.

"Just came to take a look..."

After Shi Yan withdrew his sword, the tavern owner also turned her gaze away.

“That sword is beautiful…” Shi Hongjian looked at the sword in Shi Yan’s hand.

She had seen that sword before.

But she had never seen Shi Yan hold that sword so seriously before.

Imagine that when the ruler of Loulan held the same sword a thousand years ago, he was just as heroic and spirited, as if he wanted to rival the heavens and the earth.

"I wonder where Shi Yan got that sword from."

"That was originally her sword." The tavern owner just looked at Shi Yan's back as if she were looking at other people through that back.

But in the end... what caught my eye was Shi Yan's restrained smile as he pushed open the wooden gate of the tavern for the first time.

"It was originally her sword..." Shi Hongjian was stunned by the tavern owner's words.

She didn't know what the tavern owner meant.

Is it that the sword was originally meant to belong to Shi Yan, and that its thousand-year history was merely waiting for its true master, or is there some other meaning behind it?

She dared not think.

Shi Hongjian looked up, only to find that there was no one in front of her.

The vendor selling melon seeds and snacks nervously bowed to him, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, "The Master of Red Paper..."

Shi Hongjian could only wave him away.

At "Starry Sky Square", Shi Yan released his grip on the hand of Fine Snow Dance.

The dance of fine snow should have ended there, and everything should have come to a close.

But... it had been far too long since the Dance of Fine Snow had embraced Shi Yan like this, so the frost-blue immortal sword simply hung upside down behind Shi Yan.

A phantom female figure embraced Shi Yan from behind.

What do you mean by that?!

"What do you mean by this?!" Shang Yuelan, who was already in a state of madness, raised the crescent moon wheel in her hand and pointed it at Shi Yan.

"I haven't lost yet, not yet!"

"Hold your sword firmly."

Shi Yan simply looked at him indifferently, "You've already lost."

The crescent moon, which once seemed to eclipse the sun and moon, now has cracks like tortoise shells, from which tiny fragments of light fall.

Even beneath Shang Yuelan's mask, blood was gushing out.

He has already lost.

Shi Yan's ninth-level Jade Palace Realm was already no less powerful than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. In addition, it was the [Absolute Sword] inherited from the Lord of Loulan. How could Shang Yuelan possibly accept it so easily?

"I haven't lost yet..."

"not yet!!!"

"Yes--"

"You haven't lost yet."

A voice echoed in Shangyue Lan's heart.

Outside the venue, Shi Hongjian's brows furrowed as she looked at "Starry Sky Plaza".

"He's just a mere Nascent Soul cultivator!!!"

"How could you possibly defeat me?"

Although Shang Yuelan was wearing a mask, Shi Yan could sense that the face beneath the mask was like that of a demon.

"—I am a demon of the wilderness."

Blood energy surged and boiled as Shang Yuelan lunged at Shi Yan once more.

"Die!"

"Teacher's words."

Part 412 The Desolate Demon? I am the greatest demon in the world! [First update, 4K words]

Blood swirls and boils, and even the half-black, half-white mask of crying and laughing is stained with mottled blood droplets.

【I am a demon of the wilderness】.

That was a legitimate demonic sect technique.

Moreover, it's a technique that even demonic sects like the "Love Sea Demon Sect" and the "Futian Sect" have abandoned.

But... now it has appeared on a disciple of a prestigious sect.

In a dark corner outside "Starry Sky Plaza", Shin Uezuki sat cross-legged on the ground, with an old chessboard in front of him.

He held the black piece and then placed it down.

It doesn't matter if one of Uezuki Arashi dies.

If losing Shang Yuelan is enough to replace Shi Yan, then it's already a huge win.

If it can't be replaced...

"It's your turn." Uezuki Shin looked at the opposite side of the chessboard, which was empty, but Uezuki Shin picked up a white piece himself.

"It's my turn."

【I am a demon】?

An uproar erupted at "Starry Sky Square".

Seeing the blood-red aura surrounding Shang Yuelan, the onlookers were shocked, but their hearts were filled with worry for Shi Yan.

Pretty girls always have special privileges.

Shang Yuelan was surrounded by blood energy, which swirled around him like chains.

However... his cultivation level did not surge; instead, it plummeted.

Nascent Soul Realm... Spiritual Body Realm... Golden Core Realm...

Just moments ago, Shang Yuelan was a powerful figure who could move mountains and fill seas with a wave of his hand, whose twin crescent moon wheels could cleave the sun and moon and sever rivers and seas. In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level had plummeted to the first level of the Body Tempering Realm.

And then... he lost all his cultivation.

In contrast—

It was his aura.

The more dramatic the drop in her cultivation level, the more terrifying the aura that Shang Yuelan unleashed at this moment became.

This is [I am a demon].

The only demonic art hidden within the "Shangyue Sect".

He burned away all his cultivation, realm, and even his Dao body, offering it all to the Desolate Demon to drink. He burned away everything at the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm; in that single sword strike and thought, the killing intent unleashed by Shang Yuelan was enough to repel even those undergoing tribulation.

Shi Yan looked at Shang Yuelan, who was bursting with boundless killing intent, and seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Off-field —

On the stands of the "Azure Lotus Sword Sect," Qin Suhuai and Xiaolin disappeared almost simultaneously.

Only after the two figures disappeared did the terrifying aura of sword intent resound.

The two people moved so fast that the streaks of light were not even visible.

But... compared to burning everything in an instant to slash at Shang Yuelan, it was ultimately a bit too slow.

Last month, Lan got too close to Shi Yan.

It was only a few steps away.

The blade of the crescent moon wheel was breathing rapidly.

In this situation... perhaps only a few cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm would be able to withstand this attack.

But... outside "Starry Sky Plaza", the white piece was placed and embedded in the chessboard.

The letter from last month was the right one.

Today... none of those Enlightenment Realm cultivators are here.
