Chapter 143 Cultivation of Immortals and Whoring, Yandere (15)

“Please,” Ye Xuan stood in front of Xie Yan. This was the first time she showed such weakness, “please let me go.”

At that moment, the look on Xie Yan’s face even made Ye Xuan think he was crying.It was an emotion that Ye Xuan could not describe. The calm was suppressed with madness, and the collapse was hidden with panic. But in fact, he just stood there expressionless.After a long time, Ye Xuan heard his low and hoarse voice.

“I promised you that I would never kill anyone again.” He said suddenly. Ye Xuan thought that he was going to beg her like he did before, making various promises to retain her, but he said nothing more, neither hysterical nor pleading.It was like the straw that broke the camel’s back, and he finally accepted the outcome he had expected.

The palace door slowly closed in front of Ye Xuan, Xie Yan turned around, and his black back slowly fell into the darkness, like a stone sculpture, calmly and desperately welcoming the moment when the light disappeared.

Waking up from her sleep, Ye Xuan sat on the bed and began to be in a daze again.

It has been more than two months since she returned to Canglan Sect, and she still dreams about that scene every night.Her physical condition became very poor due to her experience in captivity, and she had to rely on a lot of sleep and meditation to recover.But no matter she was awake or asleep, that desperate figure always lingered in her mind, day and night, inseparable.

She sighed, casually picked up the cloak and put it on her shoulders, and walked out of the house.The sun was shining brightly outside the house. It was early summer, and the air was filled with the refreshing scent of rich green. Standing in the shade of the tree, Ye Xuan felt that the sunshine was dazzling.Wei Wanwan walked into this quiet courtyard and saw Ye Xuan raising her hand to cover her forehead. The golden light was falling down, making the delicate hand that was so fair and frail that it was almost transparent. The beauty with disheveled black hair was like a delicate porcelain doll, so thin that it seemed that it would break if the wind blew.Such Ye Xuan still has the carefree and wanton demeanor of before.

Wei Wanwan couldn’t help feeling sad, but she still managed to pull herself together and walked over: “Uncle, Senior Brother Chen is awake and he wants to see you.”

Chen Feng suffered extremely serious injuries. After Ye Xuan took him back to the Canglan Sect, he had been in a coma and did not wake up until last night.He has been lurking in the Tianyan Sect for hundreds of years. Before Xie Yan could join the Tianyan Sect, he had already been inserted into it by Dao Lord Mingwei.In fact, Xie Yan should not have let him go at all. He knew too many secrets about the Tianyan Sect. Once these secrets were used by the Taoist sect, it would definitely cause a huge blow to the Tianyan Sect.But at that time, Xie Yan didn’t care about Chen Feng.

He must have been desperate to the extreme. Thinking of this, Ye Xuan’s heart began to feel dull pain again, as if there was a knife. The knife was not sharp, but it was just slowly cutting her flesh and blood. Each knife cut continuously, which made her feel pain all the time.

When Chen Feng saw Ye Xuan coming, he was leaning weakly on the pillow, and quickly wanted to sit up to greet her.Ye Xuan reached out to stop him and signaled Wei Wanwan to close the door.Since Chen Feng wanted to see her by name, he must have something important to say.

“Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude,” Chen Feng smiled. Although he was seriously injured because of Ye Xuan, if it weren’t for Ye Xuan, his fearful career as a craftsman would have lasted for who knows how long. Chen Feng was very grateful to Ye Xuan in his heart. After he woke up, he tossed about for most of the night, determined to tell Ye Xuan something about Xie Yan.”Master Dao, do you know why every leader of the Tianyan Sect kills innocent people indiscriminately.” He didn’t shy away from it and got straight to the point.

Ye Xuan was stunned: “In the devil’s way, whoever is not cruel is easy to kill.”

Chen Feng shook his head: “Taojun, think about it carefully, are all the fifty-seven heads of Tianyan Sect like to kill by nature?”

As the head of the demon sect, Tianyan Sect has a lot of anecdotes about its successive leaders. Ye Xuan thought about it carefully and found that many of them were not particularly cruel in character, but without exception, the blood debts they committed were countless.Exterminating families, massacring cities, refining Yin soldiers… From the founder of the sect to the Blood Demon Lord, there are countless innocent souls under his command, and only Xie Yanshang has not yet done such a cruel thing as massacring the city.

“Taojun, think about it again. Among them, the higher the cultivation level, the more people will be killed?”

“This…” Ye Xuan’s heart moved, and she somewhat understood what Chen Feng meant, “You mean…”

“This matter is a secret of Tianyan Sect. Only the previous leaders and a few elders know about it. I only found out by chance.” Chen Feng’s face showed a look of fear mixed with disgust. “You also know, Daojun, that Tianyan Sect has three fundamental laws., ordinary disciples can choose to practice two of them, and only the master is qualified to read the third part.This third part is the most mysterious one.Not only outsiders, but also the disciples of Tianyan Sect have not known the true nature of this method.”

As Chen Feng said, as the mortal enemy of Tianyan Sect, Canglan Sect has always wanted to understand this mysterious Taoism.Not only because this Taoist law is closely related to the successive heads of Tianyan Sect, but also because this Taoist law is infinitely powerful and mysterious.You can only practice this Taoist method after becoming a master. Once you start practicing, it usually only takes about ten years for your cultivation to improve rapidly.Take Xie Yan for example. Xie Yan’s qualifications are not outstanding, but in just over a hundred years since he became the leader of Tianyan Sect, his cultivation has become the best in Dongyang Continent. If he fights alone, no one can rival him.

For such a mysterious Taoist method, the price that practitioners have to pay is also huge.

“You mean, a soul?” Ye Xuan asked in disbelief.

“That’s right,” Chen Feng nodded, “The name of that method is called the Soul Refining Book. Ordinary Taoist methods are guided by spiritual energy, but the Soul Refining Book is different, but based on living souls. The more living souls gathered, the faster the cultivation speed, and the cultivation level will naturally increase rapidly.” Where do so many living souls come from?Naturally, there is only mass slaughter.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan already understood the meaning of Chen Feng’s previous words.The successive leaders of Tianyan Sect did not kill more people with higher cultivation level, but the more people they killed, the higher their cultivation level became.So no matter whether they like killing or not, they all take pleasure in killing like the Blood Demon King. If they want to practice, they must kill.

“Once they start killing people, they will never stop.” Chen Feng looked solemn. “The extraordinary growth rate of cultivation is originally against the will of heaven. If the process of gathering souls is stopped, the forcibly accumulated cultivation will backfire on itself, eventually leading to the death of the cultivator.”

What’s even more terrifying is that the Soul Refining Book brings not only cultivation, but also hostility and violence.The number of souls required to practice the Soul Refining Book has increased exponentially, and the massacre trajectory of almost every leader of the Tianyan Sect is the same – at first it is a small number of killings, then a small-scale annihilation of families, and in the end, it becomes an inhumane massacre of the city.And by the time they started massacring the city, they were already on the verge of madness.

“When Demon Lord Bloody Nether massacred Hengnan City, it was because his cultivation had reached a critical juncture.” Chen Feng frowned, “But that demon was originally fond of killing, and even without the Soul Refining Book, he must have done such a thing, but Demon Lord Dangtian…”

Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard him mention Xie Yan.She thought of what Xie Yan said before she left – “I promised you that I would never kill anyone again.”At that time, Ye Xuan thought he was trying to save her, so she said that, but what he actually meant was…

“If you don’t kill someone, you will definitely die?” Ye Xuan asked softly, trying her best to suppress the tremor in her voice.

“Spirit Bone Demon Lord, you must have heard of Dao Lord,” Chen Feng sighed. “He was the master of the Blood Nether Demon Lord. He died suddenly when he was in charge. The outside world said that the Blood Nether Demon Lord killed him, but it was not true. At that time, he originally set up a soul refining formation in a cultivation city, intending to gather souls, but something unexpected happened and he was a step too late. The soul refining book backfired and his body exploded and died.”

So this is actually the cruel fate of the successive leaders of Tianyan Sect. They can only survive by killing people constantly, but no matter how many people they kill, they will still die miserably in the end.Either they were backlashed by their cultivation like the Spirit Bone Demon Lord, or they were killed by their successors like the Blood Nether Demon Lord, or even more, they died miserably under the siege of their enemies.

This fate was doomed from the beginning. If you want to be the leader, you must practice the Soul Refining Book.Even if they discover the truth about the Soul Refining Book in the future, the facts are irreversible and they can only go further and further down the road of madness.

“I know that you have a close relationship with Demon Lord Dangtian,” Chen Feng’s words were very euphemistic, but Ye Xuan understood what he meant. “He promised that you would not kill anyone again. I don’t know whether it is true or not. Anyway, I think you should know about it.”

After bidding farewell to Chen Feng, Ye Xuan walked alone under the quiet wooden corridor, her mind was so messed up that she didn’t even know what she was thinking.If you don’t kill, you will die… If you don’t kill, you will die…

Ye Xuan knew that Xie Yan would definitely do what he said.She doesn’t like Xie Yan killing people, so Xie Yan will follow her wishes and doesn’t care whether the Soul Refining Book will backfire on him.And the promise she made before she left was more like a farewell made out of desperation – since you are no longer with me, there is no meaning in living.

Ye Xuan suddenly understood why Xie Yan tried every means to imprison herself instead of leaving Tianyan Sect and living in seclusion with her.Because it was impossible for him to escape from that devil’s cave and his fate of becoming a vicious and evil demon.

But what can Ye Xuan do? In order to keep Xie Yan alive, encourage him to massacre the city?Or just watch him die like this.She may be selfish, but not cruel enough.

“Uncle,” Wei Wanwan had been standing guard outside the courtyard. When she saw Ye Xuan coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, “How is it? What did Senior Brother Chen say?” Ye Xuan didn’t answer. Wei Wanwan noticed that her face was getting paler, and she couldn’t help but worry and urged her several times, “Uncle, uncle…what happened?”

“Wanwan,” Ye Xuan said softly, “after I leave, please apologize to my senior brother for me.”

“What?!” Wei Wanwan hurriedly tried to grab Ye Xuan’s sleeve, “Uncle, what are you going to do?!” But Ye Xuan threw her away.

“I want to go to the Tianyan Sect… to the Tianyan Sect…” She murmured in a low voice, ignoring Wei Wanwan’s obstruction, and in an instant she set up the escape light and disappeared into the sky.
