"If that time comes," An Ling suddenly burst out with murderous intent, "then I will have to strike first."

Such a strong murderous intent made Aimu slightly stunned. She seemed to have seen some shadows of the Seven Killing Sect in An Ling just now, but how was it possible? The Seven Killing Sect never recruited disciples from outside, and their entire sect had disappeared among the six major immortal sects for a long time. Its presence was even lower than that of the Canglan Sword Sect. If Aimu had not had dealings with a disciple of the Seven Killing Sect before, she might not even recognize her.

Ayimu was still staring at An Ling thoughtfully. Suddenly, An Ling's expression froze, and she turned her gaze towards her and asked coldly, "So, you want to kill me too?"

"How is that possible?" Aimu smiled. "We are so close, of course I will side with my dear An Ling~"

An Ling snorted coldly and ignored her. She continued to stand with the sword in her hand, guarding the door of the machinery workshop.

Aimu's beautiful eyes moved, and she suddenly asked: "An Ling, do you still remember the bet between us about the 'transparent bird'?"

An Ling didn't expect Ayimu to bring up the bet on her own initiative. She nodded and said, "Of course." Apart from the inexplicable loss of her memory about Ayimu, An Ling dared not forget the content of the bet at all times. She still remembered that Ayimu used Jiang Ning's "Human Pill" to bet with her on whether she could find the transparent bird within a month.

As soon as An Ling arrived in Jiangning, she was drawn into the matter between the Ouyang siblings and the fragments of "Desire Realm of Separation and Eternal Heaven". She had no time to look for the "transparent bird". She silently began to build up her sword power. If Ayimu insisted on taking the "human pill" or directly said it was a "blood sacrifice to Jiangning", then she would definitely stop Ayimu from doing so. Even if she could not beat her, she would definitely fight her.

Ayimu waved her hands and begged for mercy, "Oh, my dear An Ling, please don't think about killing me again, I'm very scared~" As she spoke, she was about to walk towards An Ling.

An Ling pointed the sword at Ayimu and shouted, "Don't come over here! If you come over again, I will attack you!"

Ayimu narrowed her eyes like a fox that had stolen some fish, and stood a few steps away from An Ling. She didn't move forward. She looked at An Ling, who was on the verge of a fight, and said with a smile: "An Ling, I haven't even told you what the outcome of the bet is, why are you so anxious to kill me? You won this bet~"

What? I won?

An Ling couldn't believe it. She had never seen any transparent bird. Could it be that the conditions of this bet were made up by Aimu from the beginning?

"Transparent Bird, what on earth is that?!"

Upon hearing this, Aimu just nodded in the direction of the underground passage of the machinery workshop. Finally, he threw a coquettish glance at An Ling, and left with his followers.

An Ling looked up and saw Aimu sitting high on the yellow strange beast with a very high spirit. She suddenly felt a little envious.

"An Ling, we will see each other again soon, don't miss me too much~" Ayimu said goodbye to An Ling for the last time. When he was leaving, he was still so frivolous. An Ling felt uncomfortable with the veins on her forehead throbbing.

……

The fragment of "Desire Realm of Eternal Heaven" that was parasitic on Ouyang Qian's soul was broken by An Ling in Lin Du's body, and disappeared from the world as Lin Du fell.

As the fragments disappeared, the objects and people attached to it lost their "divine power". The prototype of "Desire Realm Red Dust" that had been running non-stop for who knows how many days and months finally stopped, and together with the so-called "replicators" around Jiangning, it became a pile of useless scrap metal.

The extremely destructive "acid rain" that had been hanging over Jiangning finally stopped after destroying nearly one-third of the roofs in Jiangning. When everything settled, it was already the early morning of the next day. The dark clouds had dispersed, and the sun was shining brightly. The gentle sunlight shone above the buildings that looked like ruins, which was quite ironic.

An Ling waited in the machinery workshop for about an hour, and the group of adults finally came out, supporting each other. Each of them looked pale and wet, as if they had just suffered a serious illness. Each of them glanced at An Ling implicitly when passing by her, but none of them said anything, and just walked their own way silently. When they saw them come out, the subordinates who had been waiting outside all night swarmed up and asked the adults about their well-being.

Seeing that there was nothing for An Ling to do, she returned to Shanhai Academy in a few leaps without even saying goodbye.

Seeing An Ling like this, the headmaster Li Mo, who was surrounded by everyone, sighed deeply, pushed away the people who wanted to support him, and walked back to the academy step by step with the help of a cane. His already hunched figure became even more listless, like a dead tree walking dead.

……

Shanhai Academy was still the same tragic sight with blood flowing everywhere, but after the acid rain stopped, the students and teachers spontaneously moved their murdered colleagues back indoors to be buried.

An Ling walked slowly into the hall with a heavy heart. As soon as she walked in, a foul odor hit her in the face. However, she did not even frown. She walked around the corpses lined up in a row with an expressionless face and came in front of the people in the academy.

"An Ling...are you okay? Why are your clothes torn..." Xia Wanrou said.

An Ling just shook her head and did not answer the questions about herself. She didn't know whether she should tell them the secret. In response, she simply explained: "The matter has been resolved, Jiang Ning, it's safe." After that, she ignored the crowd who were in an uproar, walked back to the room alone, closed the door and locked it.

She pointed her finger at the bathtub in the room and whispered, "Bring some water."

Water flowed from her fingertips, and all the spiritual energy in her body was transformed into a clear stream by magic and poured into the bathtub.

An Ling took off all her clothes expressionlessly and stepped into the bathtub. She slowly squatted down and let the water soak her head.

She soaked her whole body in clean water, as if this could wash away the blood of the same kind that had stained her in the past few days.

She had killed ghosts, subdued monsters, and fought against the so-called "Heavenly Way", but three of her kind who had had interactions with her died under her sword. Ouyang Qian and Lin Du were also killed by her in an extremely cruel way.

Before, An Ling was practicing the mental method taught by Xie Kuorong. When she killed people, she didn't feel anything. "Reason" took over her will. She felt that these people should be killed in this way. She was right and there was nothing wrong with her. But when her "emotions" returned and she thought about what she had done again, she couldn't help nauseating.

The scene of flying flesh and blood, the temperature of the hot blood splashing on the face, the eyes of several people who were either unwilling or relieved before they died... An Ling felt that she would never be able to forget such a feeling in her life, and she would never be able to wash away the blood on her hands.

She suddenly remembered Xie Kurong's message in the inheritance: "When you hold the sword for the first time, be prepared to have your hands stained with blood for the rest of your life!"

But unfortunately, she always thought that this "blood" referred to enemies such as demons and monsters, but ignored the possibility of swinging the sword at her own kind.

Third Master, the blood you mentioned is so hot...

An Ling hid in the water, her tears and clean water mixed together, unable to be distinguished, just like human blood and demon blood, once they were dissolved in the water at the same time, they could no longer be distinguished.
