CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 303: KIND-HEARTED YOUNG MASTER CHU, STRIVING FOR THE DAO

Peach Blossom Shore.

The features of the two women were extremely delicate, their figures tall, their skin as smooth as cream. Like looking into a mirror, they sized each other up.

One was a Female Knight in tight attire, the other a cold Immortal Daoist.

"You say I am your reincarnation?"

Ji Xuexin hesitated and said, "There are countless spells in the world. How can I believe you are truly my former life?"

"And what’s your thousand-year plan? What exactly are you scheming? Has the world turned like this due to your involvement?"

She asked consecutively, her mana surging, her black hair fluttering. Her delicate hand pointed upwards, gathering countless peach blossoms into a flower-adorned long blade.

The blade gleamed fiercely, like a rising moon, its tip aimed at the Immortal Daoist, as she coldly said, "Answer me."

The Immortal Daoist cast her a glance, a slight smirk on her lips. She took a sip of her wine and mocked, "Without that man, you’ve certainly found yourself."

"I’ve been watching all along. I actually thought you were enjoying it, perfectly willing to be a bed-warming concubine, serving a man."

"That night, exploring the Divine Acupoint, you almost lost your body. You’ve truly disgraced my name as ’Celestial Slayer Demon Immortal.’"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuexin’s delicate body trembled. Her cheeks flushed, and her black hair turned to a shade of snowy silver as she coldly said, "Young Master Chu Yi and I are mutually in love. What concern is it of yours?"

"You..."

"Who are you, really?"

The cold Immortal Daoist did not reply. She raised her jade neck, lifting the wine pot high, pouring out the clear brew and drinking heartily, her spirit soaring.

The wine slid past her tender red lips, down her fragrant skin, into the hollow of her elegant clavicle, wetting her clothes and highlighting her proud, prominent figure.

SPLASH...

She waved the wine pot, and the wine cast shadows, forming a flickering image.

Ji Xuexin, cautiously wary of the Immortal Daoist’s sneak attacks, focused on the image, her beautiful eyes widening suddenly.

The Young Master Chu, with whom she claimed to be mutually in love, was seated on a throne made of skulls, with blood-red tendrils writhing around it. He held a gorgeous maiden in his arms, her clothes half-removed, her jade-like form undulating as she cultivated a profound spell.

Through the blazing firelight, Ji Xuexin saw the maiden’s flawless white back, her delicate waist twisting like a white snake. Her jade neck was raised, revealing a youthful face, her petite cherry lips emitting melodious moans.

Beside them lay an unconscious girl.

It was herself!

Ji Xuexin was petrified on the spot.

The scent of peaches was pervasive. Tender peach blossoms flew wildly, and a few twigs, complete with leaves, landed on the Female Knight’s shoulder, seeming to mock her predicament.

Facing the Immortal Daoist’s scornful gaze, Ji Xuexin’s mind went blank. Young Master Chu is an ethereal being, beyond all comparison; having multiple wives is perfectly normal, she thought hotly. As his primary wife, I allow him to take concubines and expand the Chu Family.

After saying this, Ji Xuexin’s face instantly flushed red. What foolishness am I spouting?

The Immortal Daoist, on the other hand, was suddenly taken aback, momentarily at a loss.

She pointed at the flustered Female Knight, then at the lewd scene unfolding live before them, her lips curving into a sarcastic smile. Are you fucking kidding me?

Ji Xuexin bit her lip lightly. Caught in an intractable situation, she decided to brazen it out and said coldly, "Young Master Chu is a benevolent person, a hero who saved my life in heavy snow. You, on the contrary, sneaking around and spying, are clearly no good person."

The Immortal Daoist ignored her. With a flick of her sleeve, the image presented by the wine changed, and sound came through.

BOOM!

Dark clouds churned. From the thick layers, crimson tentacles and sky-covering bone claws extruded, densely flooding the entire sky and grabbing at the fleeing Ghost Immortals.

"HEHEHE, little darlings, where are you escaping to?"

"Let’s play a game. I’ll give you ten seconds to run."

"Three... two... one! HEHEHE, just kidding."

"Don’t come near me!!"

At the center of the sea of clouds, the supposedly benevolent Chu Yi was holding a crimson Ten Thousand Souls Banner, bloodlight surging around him, stirring the Underworld as he laughed wantonly.

With a wave of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he unleashed a terrifying hurricane, like a strike powerful enough to pierce the stars. It crashed onto a majestic ghost city. The vast host of ghosts didn’t even have time to show fear before being caught in the hurricane and smashed to pieces, their souls shattered!

Paired with that arrogant tone, he clearly appeared as a Demon Path Giant: dark-hearted and cruel. He dragged captured Ghost Immortals into the dark clouds, and a CRUNCHING, RUSTLING sound echoed as he devoured them alive.

Ji Xuexin: "..."

Her tender face stung faintly, as if reality itself had slapped her.

Yet she stubbornly said, "The Underworld is a nest of evil heretics. Whatever Young Master Chu does to eliminate such a lawless place, he does it with immeasurable virtue."

The Immortal Daoist was speechless. With a wave of her hand, the image turned strange and surreal, revealing the latest scene.

A young man stood in the void, his Profound Robe billowing. He transformed into a huge mass of flesh that swelled rapidly, spewing out endless souls. These coalesced under the function of "law" into a massive, ink-colored fog pillar reaching a thousand feet tall.

The soul solidified, stepping out as a giant leg, like a towering mountain. It smashed the ghost city in a single step. The land collapsed instantly, splitting into a vast chasm stretching dozens of miles—a true earthquake.

The sweeping airwave turned into a hurricane, sending sand and stones flying.

Yet, this giant leg was covered in flesh bulges of various sizes. Tiny flesh buds sprouted from them, wriggling madly and turning into segments of fleshy pink tentacles covered with sharp teeth. These tentacles also sprouted numerous scarlet vertical eyes and wafted a faint, bloody wind, reminiscent of a slaughterhouse.

Pulsating growths, red as blood, covered it.

The other leg also fully formed. It was built from the countless skeletal remains of various races, towering like a pillar that reached the sky. Crimson seeped through it, and exposed skulls rolled down, immediately scurrying around like living creatures. Pale in color, it had transformed into bone claws, horrifying and terrifying.

Ji Xuexin: "..."

The Immortal Daoist: "..."

Witnessing this scene, both women were stunned.

Even the Immortal Daoist, usually composed and knowledgeable, was awestruck.

This... This is the Heaven and Earth Technique!? Is this fucking Daoism’s top technique for subduing demons, the Heaven and Earth Technique?

As for Ji Xuexin, her face stung even more.

She brandished her blade and, wrapped in a fragrant breeze of blade light, slashed towards the Immortal Daoist, shouting angrily, "Vile Demoness, don’t think you can deceive me!"

BANG!

The Immortal Daoist struck out with a single palm. A lotus flower bloomed on the water’s surface, then burst into several water arrows, knocking Ji Xuexin away.

The Immortal Daoist’s face, a mirror image of Ji Xuexin’s, showed a flicker of anger. "I still wanted to explain the thousand-year plan to you, but since you debase yourself like this, there’s no need for this contest for the Dao!"

Wrapped in peach blossoms, the two engaged in a magical duel, causing a large section of the peach wood to twist into demonic shapes.

「Half a day later.」

The two women sat on the ground. The surrounding peach wood had suffered terribly, now a field of debris.

"I hail from the Dao Sect, one of the three great sects of Daoism, and I am skilled in the art of Divination."

"The ancestors of my sect deduced that a great immortal opportunity, a fairy fate, would appear a thousand years hence. For the sake of achieving immortality, I conspired with elders within the sect, rebelled, and fled, earning the name ’Celestial Slayer Demon Immortal.’"

The Immortal Daoist recounted calmly, her hand pinching a pink peach blossom, her gaze revealing a hint of reminiscence.
