Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

In her final moments, countless painful memories belonging to Jiang Yuetian flashed before her eyes.

Perhaps it was because she couldn't resist her true feelings... In that instant, she barely thought about it, nor did she consider whether she would be implicated. She simply saw the arm within reach, and in that instant, her body made its own decision.

She would absolutely not let Jiang Yuetian leave.

That's it.

……

The surrounding air was cold, yet it possessed a spiritual quality.

Beneath my feet was excessively soft soil, completely different from the prickly fragments of memory.

The familiar hand I was holding felt warmer than ever before.

Feeling all of this, seeing all of this.

Jiang Yuetian suddenly laughed and cried, meeting those pure and clear eyes.

"You're back..."

"Mmm." Lin Yuan wiped away her tears with her other hand, a naive and joyful smile blooming on her face like a sunflower: "Welcome back, Senior Brother Jiang~"

This scene was truly touching in the eyes of Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen.

As their disciples, they already had very deep feelings for the two of them, especially after what happened. Jiang Yuetian and Lin Yuan were practically their only source of emotional support.

Now Jiang Yuetian has escaped from the abyss of that paradise of life, and Lin Yuan, who saved him, has paid a price for her courage and has been rewarded.

That's right.

It's a happy ending for everyone.

"Although the scene of the senior and junior disciples reuniting was indeed beautiful—"

Just as Lin Yuan and Jiang Yuetian were looking at each other and smiling, a dissenting voice suddenly rang out.

Those were also from Yuntian Academy.

The white-haired youth's eyes were filled with immeasurable killing intent and coldness as he looked ahead and said in a cold voice, "But now we may be facing some big trouble."

"Big trouble...?"

Jiang Yuetian and Lin Yuan turned around at the same time and saw the crowd bathed in the black rainstorm.

A group of immortal cultivators.

And that blond youth with his left eye tightly closed, a fierce look on his face, and a sinister grin as he looked at Yun Ping and the others—Zuo He, the leader of the Eighteen Immortal Saints of Xiandu.

The atmosphere is off.

Yes.

Everyone could notice it.

Unlike the peaceful and serene cultivators of the Immortal Capital I had seen before, their eyes now gleamed with indescribable resentment and hatred—their target was naturally Yun Ping and his group.

If eyes truly possessed lethality, they would surely unleash an endless array of sharp blades and magical weapons, striking with overwhelming force.

The torrential black rain seemed endless.

The cultivators of the Immortal Capital, bathed in the rain, all had furrowed brows, their undisguised hostility evident.

It seems that they fled the lakeside city just as the abyss of the paradise of life was about to erupt, and then witnessed the entire process of the lake water soaring into the sky from the outside.

"You've finally come out."

Seeing that Yunping and his men had not suffered any casualties, Zuo He seemed disappointed, his tone filled with displeasure.

Staring at Zuo He's sour face, Ye Yuchan curled her lips and said in a sarcastic tone, "Yeah, I'm really sorry to disappoint you."

"Heh, I wouldn't say I'm disappointed."

"However, I hope you can provide a reasonable explanation."

"An explanation?" Ye Yuchan felt a chill run down her spine, a bad premonition rising in her heart: "What explanation?"

"hehe."

Zuo He sneered, then revealed a sinister expression like that of a cheetah about to hunt.

With a flick of his left hand, a figure was flung out like trash.

The man was covered in blood, all his bones were shattered, his once beautiful face was now deathly pale, and his chest was completely still—his physical body was dead, and even his soul had dissipated.

The corpse was none other than the former city lord of Lake Heart City, the young Heavenly City Saint Immortal.

At the same time, the middle-aged man who had met Yunping and the others once before, and who had a very imposing aura, also stood beside Zuo Heshengxian with a face full of anger, his tone extremely cold.

"Shouldn't you explain why the city lord died here? And why Lake City has become like this?"

……

Celestial City Holy Immortal...

Looking at the Heavenly City Saint Immortal who had been dead for a long time, Yun Ping raised an eyebrow slightly and immediately understood Zuo He's intention.

So that's what they were planning.

He glanced coldly at Zuo He, who was smiling, and narrowed his eyes.

At the same time, Zhang Ruoxue, unable to contain her impatience, spoke up to explain: "Don't overthink it. When we entered, this Heavenly City Saint Immortal was already dead. The one who appeared before us was your Zuo He Saint Immortal."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately gasped: "So, according to you, it was Immortal Zuo He who killed our city lord?"

Zhang Ruoxue nodded: "That's right."

"Hahahaha—" Upon hearing this, Zuo He immediately burst into laughter, then pointed his right hand at the corpse of the Heavenly City Saint Immortal in front of him and said, "Don't you all see? The Heavenly City Saint Immortal still has some demonic energy left on his body. I am the head of the Saint Immortals in the Immortal Capital. How could I be involved with demonic energy?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Lu Yingqiu was also quite angry, and immediately pointed at Zuo He: "Isn't your left eye the so-called Eye of Tribulation?"

"The Eye of Calamity?" Zuo He looked puzzled and smiled. "I don't know what you're talking about. My Golden Radiance Tiger King Eye no longer exists because of [someone]. Why are you framing this poor one-eyed dragon?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "someone" and glared fiercely at Yunping in the distance.

At the same time, Zuo He's words were the absolute truth to the other cultivators in the Immortal Capital, so they naturally couldn't doubt him.

not to mention--

"Speaking of which, that little girl over there, you seem to be a demon, right?"

Zuo He's gaze fell on Lin Yuan.

Yuan'er's brows furrowed suddenly. Just as she was about to explain herself, she was shocked to find that the few wisps of demonic energy on the corpse of the Heavenly Immortal were rushing toward her as if they had found their master.

She was startled. She had initially thought that the Demon Queen's personality had been exposed, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that the Little Queen's personality had not been revealed at all.

Meanwhile, the demonic energy that emanated from the corpses kept circling around Yuan'er, showing her a considerable degree of affection.

—Someone is controlling these demonic entities.

Lin Yuan immediately realized what was happening and, following the extremely faint spiritual energy, looked towards a certain figure in the crowd.

"It was them, they did it!!"

The young man's voice came from the crowd.

All eyes turned in that direction, and Ye Yuchan and the others were suddenly taken aback.

Because the one who spoke was Huang Luo from the Qin School.

No, to be precise, it's Jiang Shengxuan.

Wearing Huang Luo's skin, Jiang Shengxuan cried and shouted with all his might, putting on a look of deep grief and indignation, his hand trembling as he pointed at Yun Ping and the others.

"They're the ones who killed my fourteenth uncle! I saw it! My fourteenth uncle was killed by that little girl! She's a demon! No, they're all demons!"

"Huang Yisi..." The man from Xiandu's expression gradually turned cold: "He indeed did not appear..."

"Brother Xu Ming!" Huang Luo rushed to the man and cried out, "You are the deputy city lord of Lake Heart City, and also my fourteenth uncle's good brother! You must avenge him!!"

"These people are all demons, and I'm afraid this lake... must have been caused by them too!"

"They're determined to cause trouble in your Xiandu!!"

Huang Luo's words echoed in the dark sky above the Azure Secret Realm.

And it was precisely when these words were spoken that one could clearly perceive...

The eyes of all the cultivators in the Immortal Capital were filled with terrifying killing intent.

53. You know nothing about the demonic path.

The situation is completely one-sided.

To the people of Xiandu, Huang Luo's words were tantamount to a death sentence for Yun Ping and the others.

The endless black rain fell on them, each drop containing the negative emotions they had accumulated over this period of time—despair, anger, pain, jealousy, greed, hatred... so many emotions, each drop of rain containing emotions that had been removed by the Land of Living Beings.

And now, these shadows... have returned.

Looking at the murderous cultivators of the Immortal Capital ahead, Yuan'er opened her lips, intending to explain, but when the words reached her lips, she realized something, her expression turned solemn, and she swallowed back all the words of explanation that were on the tip of her tongue.

Useless.

She knew very well that explaining was pointless.

However, the straightforward Zhang Ruoxue was completely unaware of this. Holding back her displeasure, she couldn't help but speak up: "Don't listen to that guy's nonsense. This kid isn't Huang Luo at all, but..."

"Ruoxue".

The one who interrupted Zhang Ruoxue was Ye Yuchan, who was standing next to her.

Her silver hair fell slowly down, and her dark eyes, hidden beneath her bangs, flashed with a sharp light. She stared at Zuo He, whose face was quite smug, and said in a rather indifferent tone, "No need to explain."

"But--"

"Look at the way they look."

Zhang Ruoxue swallowed her words and looked at the people in Xiandu.

The group of people showed no intention of listening to Yun Ping and the others' explanations. Their so-called composure had vanished. In the endless, seemingly unending black rain, they had become the embodiment of depravity.

Anger, hatred, and an undisguised madness.

Ye Yuchan narrowed her eyes and gasped: "It's like people who are addicted to drugs. Once they destroy those addictive substances, their emotions will explode instantly."
