The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"Su Yao!!! No, Su Yao!!" Ye Xingchen screamed like a madman as he looked at the dismembered corpse in front of him.

"Who! Who dares to ambush me from the shadows! I will turn you into a demonic puppet, condemning you to eternal damnation!!!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for making a large-scale change to the plot of the chosen one Ye Xingchen. Rewards: 66666 Destiny Points, 1 True Immortal Wisdom Stone, 1 "Wild Wind Sword Technique", 1 Ink Sac Fish, 10 random high-level talismans, and 66 lottery draws!"

"Well, the food is alright, I won't complain about it this time."

"Who are you, you scoundrel? Show yourself!" With a furious shout, Ye Xingchen's figure appeared in front of Chen Xuan like a ghost.

"Long time no see, Xingchen." Chen Xuan looked at Ye Xingchen calmly.

"You... Elder Chen Xuan? How come you're here? Su Yao was...?" Ye Xingchen stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him, his face full of disbelief.

Upon seeing Chen Xuan, his mind went completely blank; he couldn't understand why he would see Elder Chen Xuan here.

You must understand, within the entire Flying Immortal Sect, Chen Xuan has always been the only good person he truly believes in. The other so-called fellow disciples and elders are either selfish and scheming, or cold-hearted and indifferent, refusing to help those in distress—they are all heartless scum.

However, now that he had killed Su Yao, the person standing in front of him was Elder Chen Xuan, which shocked and confused Ye Xingchen.

"That's right. Actually, I've been here for a while now. Before this, I had already asked the Dongli Sect Master to release you. I was thinking of coming to visit you after my seclusion ended. But as soon as I arrived at Qingfeng Mountain, I learned that you had been imprisoned in the Black Prison by these beasts again!"

"Yes, I've always been so good to them, but I never expected that they would all...!"

"I know, I know you're a good kid, Xingchen. When I learned that your cultivation had been crippled and you were imprisoned in the Black Prison, I was so angry that my head was spinning. So I thought about avenging you, Xingchen!"

After all, in a hellish place like the Black Prison, losing your cultivation is practically a death sentence. How could I not be angry?!

"Elder Chen Xuan, you really understand me the most!" Ye Xingchen was so moved that he almost cried. He never expected that when the whole world abandoned him, only Chen Xuan would stand firmly on his side!

But... he felt that something was not quite right.

"But Su Yao..." Ye Xingchen murmured in pain, but the words seemed to be blocked by something, making it difficult to continue.

"Her? She deserves to die!"

"Without any concrete evidence, she indiscriminately crippled your cultivation and even tried to kill you. What use is there in keeping such a ruthless and incorrigible villain alive? Are we just going to let her continue to do evil?"

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Ye Xingchen slowly nodded and replied, "Yes, she really should..."

Although he knew deep down that Chen Xuan's words made perfect sense, for some reason, an indescribable pain surged into his heart like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The feeling was as if a large piece of my heart had suddenly been missing, leaving it empty and cold winds howling inside.

But what exactly was lost? Was it the trust and reliance on Su Yao? Or the deep-seated feelings? Or something else important?

Ye Xingchen was at a loss, just standing there blankly, letting the pain continue to erode his soul.

"And another thing, you should also know about Ji Youruo, who's always been near you, right? Hmph, that heartless witch, she's up to no good either!" Chen Xuan suddenly said, his face filled with resentment.

"What?! What... what exactly did she do?" Upon hearing this, Ye Xingchen was immediately anxious and asked with wide eyes.

"Hmph, she actually tried to take my life! Fortunately, the Sect Master of Dongli was right beside me and stopped her in time. After a battle, the witch was no match for the Sect Master of Dongli. She not only lost but also had all her cultivation destroyed. In the end, I was left to deal with this witch."

"What happened after that? What was the outcome?"

"And then... hehe, of course I won't let her off easily. I used all sorts of methods to torture her, and now she's completely out of her mind, lost herself, and become a complete...!" After saying that, Chen Xuan revealed a smug smile.

"Elder Chen, you actually...!" Ye Xingchen looked at the person in front of him in astonishment and disbelief.

“Xingchen! I know you are kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and you can’t bear to see such cruelty. But think about it carefully, if I don’t treat her this way, one day in the future, I might be the one who dies at her hands! When that time comes, perhaps you will have to sweep my grave and pay your respects!” Chen Xuan said earnestly.

Ye Xingchen bit his lip tightly, his fists trembling slightly, a trickle of blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth. After a moment of silence, he said fiercely, "That's right, a villain like her who has committed so many evil deeds... truly deserves such punishment!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have prevented the chosen one from receiving the enemy's remorse, and your mindset has plummeted due to the injury to your beloved. You are rewarded with 10000 Destiny Points and 10 lottery draws. Ye Xingchen has also entered the kill threshold!"

"Sigh..." A long sigh escaped Chen Xuan's lips.

"Elder Chen Xuan, why are you sighing again?" Ye Xingchen couldn't help but ask when he saw Chen Xuan sighing.

"It's nothing, Xingchen, you've always been a good child."

"Thank you for your praise, Elder. I will definitely work harder in my cultivation in the future and live up to your expectations. However... from now on, I'm afraid I will have no choice but to embark on the path of demonic cultivation." Xingchen's voice became somewhat low as he said this.

"This is not your fault. If those shameless people hadn't framed you, how could you have been driven to this state!"

Upon hearing this, Xingchen silently lowered his head. He felt a tightness in his chest, and the blood he had just vomited upon learning of Ji Youruo's whereabouts seemed to have taken away all his strength and courage. At this moment, he was no longer as strong as before, and even had thoughts of dying.

Seeing Xingchen so dejected, Chen Xuan walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, cheer up! You have a long road ahead of you, and many unknown challenges await you to conquer."

"Yes! Thank you for your guidance, Elder. If Elder Chen has no other instructions, then I will take my leave now!"

However, just as Xingchen turned to leave, Chen Xuan suddenly called out to him:

"Wait, don't go yet. I have a rare treasure that I want to give you. This treasure has magical power. As long as you keep it with you, it will definitely help you have a smooth journey on your cultivation path and make great progress. It may even be able to give you a new life."
