Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 31. Lu Changyuan's Sword

Luan Rumeng did not hesitate at all.

She never intended to live, so she will unleash all her lifespan and magic power to kill her junior brother today.

Su Wuxiang understood this as well, and began to writhe and twist wildly, his long tentacles waving wildly, as if he were reaching out his arms to Luan Rumeng, begging for an embrace.

Luan Rumeng shook her head, and a glint of cold light shot directly into the demon's body.

A muffled rumble of thunder echoed in the sky.

The Heavenly Tribulation could not tolerate those invaded by lustful demons remaining in the world, so it unleashed divine punishment. Black rain mixed with brilliant gold struck down, and the carved pavilion by the Lake of Lingering Love exploded. Thunderous intent flowed across the blue tiles, and finally, it was shattered into pieces in the flames.

The pervasive heavenly fire ignited everything that could be ignited, demonstrating the wrath of Heaven.

Under the terrifying thunder, Su Wuxiang's demonic body was riddled with holes, and a small, jade-like crystal core appeared in his disgusting flesh.

Luan Rumeng's sword has arrived; as long as this crystal core is shattered, everything will be over.

In an instant, she burned all the remaining lifespan of her body and concentrated it into this sword strike.

"Sister."

A sudden, dazed feeling washed over her, as if it were the same sound she often heard a thousand years ago when she was still cultivating Taoism. Suddenly, a phantom image appeared before Luan Rumeng's eyes.

He was a short-haired boy with a simple, honest smile on his face.

"Senior sister, I want to eat your pear candy again. Can you make some for me?"

The wind carried memories and longings from a thousand years ago, but Luan Rumeng did not linger.

This is just a phantom summoned by the Great Demon who doesn't want to die.

She pierced the phantom with her sword, but the next moment, another phantom appeared.

That was an even younger boy, also named Su Wuxiang, but eight years old.

"Senior sister, I promise I'll marry you when I grow up, so, can you hug me?"

Luan Rumeng once again shattered the illusion with a single sword strike.

With the six realms open to the light, the heart is as firm as iron, and the way follows nature.

but.

Another phantom appeared. This time, the phantom had a resolute and strong face. The boy who had been clamoring for candy had grown up and was cultivating rapidly.

He said, "Senior sister, let's run away together, okay?"

Luan Rumeng's sword came too late.

If she had agreed on this moonless night, Su Wuxiang wouldn't have risked cultivating demonic arts, and all the subsequent tragedies wouldn't have happened.

The illusory figure stretched out its hand: "I'll take Senior Sister away."

Luan Rumeng was somewhat dazed. She remembered the boy's embrace, warm and strong, as if all the burdens of the world could be lifted up as soon as she entered.

Therefore, her sword was too late.

"me."

For a fleeting moment, Luan Ru dreamed of her wedding night, when her phoenix-embroidered red veil was gently lifted, and her junior brother flickered in the candlelight before her—everything was so beautiful.

In that moment of distraction, the tentacles on her back suddenly pushed her into the center of the demon core.

The delicate figure was completely swallowed up.

Su Wuxiang couldn't see through it, so he became a demon; she also couldn't see through it, so she ultimately failed to slay the demon.

The Demon Kingdom still exists, and all living beings suffer. The towering waves at the bottom of the lake seem to surge even more violently because Luan Rumeng was swallowed up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Someone crawled out of the lake, soaking wet, with crimson blood trickling from the corner of their mouth. "Young Palace Master, the sword is in hand, it's time to go back."

Xueyanlu coughed up blood: "Let's go!"

His condition was not good. Some of the shock from the seal at the bottom of the lake was reflected back onto them, not to mention that they faced Su Wuxiang's demonic voice, a voice that could make people completely lose their minds and fall into the mortal world.

They were lucky; the great demon was born and ignored them. Now that they had the sword and their goal was achieved, it was all worthwhile.

Duan Nian suddenly trembled, as if it wanted to break free and head to the sky to continue suppressing the demon.

Xueyanluo exerted all her strength and finally managed to calm Jianming down.

Ripples appeared in the air, indicating that someone had been waiting for them there all along.

Someone said, "Leave the sword behind, and you may leave for the Jade Capital."

Wearing a lotus crown, a blue and white Taoist robe, and with long silver hair, the girl's lotus-shaped shoes seemed to float in mid-air.

Xueyan Luo narrowed her eyes: "Third Princess, you want to seize the sword?"

Su Youwan, holding an oil-paper umbrella, walked step by step to the two of them and softly said, "Mmm."

She didn't seem to take the two of them seriously.

The town elder spoke up: "This is simply too unreasonable."

“You came to my house, made a mess of it, turned my brothers against each other, and made my people live in fear. You have never been reasonable during this time.”

Su Youwan said in a very reasonable manner, "I can't interfere in the infighting among family members, nor can I interfere in the fighting among guests. But if a guest tries to steal something, I have to intervene."

Xueyanluo wanted to say something, but he sensed a gentle breeze, a very small breeze, yet it carried an inescapable premonition of death, as if his fate was already sealed.

I will die here today.

Xue Yanluo stared at Su Youwan in disbelief: "Destiny is set in the heavens!?"

Su Youwan smiled almost imperceptibly, and a slender embroidery needle appeared between her two fingers without her noticing: "Now, can you give me the sword?"

Xue Yanluo stared at the needle with a solemn expression: "How is that possible? Aren't you afraid of the backlash from Heaven? Those who cultivate their destiny to determine Heaven's will surely die in calamity."

"No need for you to trouble yourself, young master."

A thin thread emerged from Su Youwan's hand, coiled around Duan Nian, and slowly pulled back.

The town elder did not take any action.

He has been nailed to death.

He was about to enter the Dao at the fifth level, but a young girl who had not yet entered the Dao used an embroidery needle to embroider a fate where moving would lead to death.

Su Youwan carefully held the sword in her hand, then gently stroked the blade: "Broken Heart, Broken Heart, does Young Master Xue know whose sword this is?"

Xueyanluo learned about the sword from the Blood Demon Lord, who in turn learned about it from Granny Mian. However, Granny Mian did not reveal who the sword's owner was, so Xueyanluo naturally did not know who the sword's owner was.

He had always found it strange that such a fine sword had never been mentioned in the world before, nor had there been any news about its owner.

Su Youwan's voice was clear and melodious, like the tinkling of a spring. She said, "Years ago, Su Wuxiang traveled to the Black Domain and met a man and a woman. The woman later founded the Sun and Moon Palace, while the man returned to the White Domain with Su Wuxiang. On the night Su Wuxiang fell into demonic possession, the man was right beside him and witnessed his friend being possessed by the lust demon, becoming like a monster."

This junior master of Cihang Palace seems to be quite clear about this history.

"That night, the man fought a fierce battle with the demon-possessed Su Wuxiang for a day and a night, destroying half of Shangyujing and even the city gates. Because the man was only at the sixth realm at that time, he could not kill Su Wuxiang. So in the end, the man suppressed Su Wuxiang at the bottom of Liuqing Lake. And this sword is the man's sword."

Su Youwan chuckled for some reason: "The Sun and Moon Palace later became the largest demonic sect in the Black Domain. The Sun and Moon Palace has left and right protectors. The left protector is Su Wuxiang, and this sword belongs to the right protector."

Cutting off all thoughts is the sword that leads to a long and arduous journey.
