The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

"My Lady Dragon Girl, I beg you, Xiao Yu, to forgive my father. He just loves my mother too much."

"Xiao Yu is willing to pay with his life."

"Please..."

As if a thousand words were stuck in her heart, the moment Xiao Yu finished speaking, his body suddenly became transparent, like mist blown away by the wind. Ye Wanqing subconsciously reached out to grab him, but her fingertips only touched a cold void.

In the end, it turned into a streak of indigo light, fell into her palm, and disappeared.

Suddenly, her heart ached sharply.

That obsession actually entered her dragon bones.

Ye Wanqing looked up and saw that the middle-aged man not far away was sitting on the ground, lifeless and devoid of any demonic aura. He was now just a dejected old man.

Xiao Yuan stared blankly at Ye Wanqing's palm, the place where his son had last disappeared. So this was karma and retribution.

When he went astray and cultivated demonic energy, all his spiritual power disappeared. Now, without demonic energy, he had no power or support.

He staggered to his feet, stared at the longsword on the ground, and rushed forward to commit suicide, when a sharp force instantly knocked the sword away.

Xiao Yuan's expression froze for a moment.

"Xiao Yu said, 'I want you to live.'"

He traded his life for his father's life.

She owes Xiao Yu a debt of karma that she must repay, but similarly, Xiao Yuan owes everyone a debt of karma that he must also repay.

Ye Wanqing stepped forward, her brows revealing a chilling aura as if tempered with ice. "I will repay the karma I owe Xiao Yu, and I will spare your life. But you must repay the karma you owe to everyone else."

Suddenly, her expression turned cold. "I will make you suffer the tribulations of lightning and fire in the Demon Realm and Demon Prison for ten years, nourished by divine rain every day. You will live, but you will suffer."

The tribulations and fiery punishments of the Demon Prison are comparable to purgatory. Enduring them every day while simultaneously recovering from their injuries is worse than death, yet it is also a new rebirth.

Xiao Yuan, who had been listless, was now focused on Ye Wanqing's previous sentence, and his eyes gradually became excited. Repaying karma? Would the Heavenly Dragon Maiden's repayment of karma be as he imagined?

"You...you mean?!"

Ye Wanqing no longer looked at Xiao Yuan, but instead looked up at the setting sun, her expression indifferent and calm. At this moment, only she herself knew how turbulent her heart might be.

"As I said, I will repay the debt of karma."

“Paying for karma…” Xiao Yuan murmured these four words, and his dry eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

He then slowly knelt down in front of Ye Wanqing, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, which had been filled with despair. "The sinner Xiao Yuan is willing to be executed."

Ye Wanqing closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, her eyes regaining their previous indifference and coldness. She picked up the jade hairpin from her hair and with a single, gentle stroke, the barrier leading to the Demon Prison opened. Xiao Yuan slowly stood up, gazing at the realm that seemed to be scorched by raging fire, his expression showing no hesitation.

Her expression was somewhat dazed, and she didn't know how much time had passed. Her gaze fell on the army of medicine men not far away, which was restrained by the barrier. The familiar, ferocious faces unconsciously transformed in her mind into figures who were determined to protect her with their lives.

The human wall that was once formed with lives has now turned into countless hideous faces.

She approached slowly.

"Little sister, you..."

Huaijin stopped Jingheng and shook her head at him. In fact, they both understood that they had just stopped Ye Wanqing from going to save her former close friends and relatives, and perhaps she resented them a little.

But since it concerns Wan'er's life, even if they had to do it all over again, they would still make the same choice.

Looking at the array barrier, Ye Wanqing gently stroked it with her fair and slender hand. She didn't know what kind of gaze she met, but her heart suddenly trembled. With a wave of her hand, she trapped the army of tens of thousands of medicine men into the space. The next moment, her gaze turned indifferent and cold again, as if the fluctuations and flowing light from before had never appeared.

"Wan'er..."

Ye Wanqing's lips curled up, revealing a hint of a smile, but Huai Jin inexplicably felt that there was a chill hidden in that smile. "Brother, I'll leave the matter of the Turing clan in Luoshan Village to you to handle first. I'll just take a walk around by myself."

"Little sister..."

Jingheng watched Ye Wanqing's departing figure, hesitant to speak, exchanged a glance with Huaijin, but ultimately said nothing.

Luoshan Village

Ye Wanqing left the battlefield, but her eyes inadvertently searched around. From beginning to end, she had never forgotten what Zhou Muye had told her.

She never doubted the truthfulness of his words.

"Go to Luoshan Village. There you will find the answers you need."

The answer she wanted was none other than Di Siheng.

In fact, there had been no abnormalities in her heart and the jade bracelet on her wrist recently, but the truth is that Di Siheng had really disappeared for a long time, and this was for one reason.

He deliberately severed the connection between his main soul and the demonic artifact, and instead, his soul consciousness, that is, Zhou Muye who had been reincarnated as a human, took the lead.

Just then, a wild rabbit darted out and, almost instinctively, came to Ye Wanqing's feet, behaving very affectionately.

Sensing something about the rabbit, Ye Wanqing's eyes sharpened. She picked up the rabbit and gently stroked it. "A mere ordinary rabbit that hasn't yet developed sentience actually possesses a hint of magic?"

Ye Wanqing's divine power gradually flowed into the rabbit's entire body. The rabbit seemed to sense this, jumped off her embrace, and followed the babbling water towards the bottom of the cliff.

At the bottom of the cliff, the water flowed normally, the rabbits hopped around normally, and she could enter normally, but Ye Wanqing still sensed something was amiss.

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, she raised her right hand and fused the magic within the jade bracelet with her own divine power to form a lotus. The powerful pressure and familiar aura directly shattered the alternate dimension.

It turns out that this place has been set up as a two-dimensional space.

A separate dimension that was carved out on its own.

The moment the alternate dimension was shattered, Ye Wanqing felt a constant pain emanating from Linglong's heart, a pain she shared with the original owner of the body. At the same time, the jade bracelet on her wrist was burning hot.

Ye Wanqing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pain in her heart, and slowly stepped forward. However, just as she was about to step in, her body trembled, and she was only able to avoid stumbling and falling because Yinghua, who came out of the space in time, supported her.

she knows.

She is afraid.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept Di Siheng's scars.

She feared that she would not be able to repay the debt she owed to Di Siheng.

Yinghua's eyes showed some worry. "Master, I sensed an extremely strong aura of the Great Dao inside. It's possible that the Heavenly Dao itself has come here."

How could she not know? She was more familiar with the aura of the Heavenly Dao than anyone else; it belonged to her master.

The master's father was present, and he was also related to Emperor Siheng.

Aside from his forceful suppression of his own strength and strengthening of the Three Realms Barrier, she couldn't think of any other reason.

Strengthening the Three Realms is her responsibility and destiny.

Forcibly changing the responsibility.

She had no idea how much Di Siheng had silently endured behind the scenes, without her knowledge.

Burning with heavenly fire, struck by lightning, subjected to the chilling iron of punishment, and even more...

The soul shattered.
