CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 143: MEMORY PLAYBACK! I LOVE MU XINYIN, NOT YOU!

"Does this mean, the Dark Queen was just joking with the younger generation earlier?"

Ji Taimei excitedly took over the conversation, with an expression of lingering fear, "Oh dear, you really scared the younger generation."

"No, no, no."

Xiao Qingmiao said with a half-smile, "The pure and sacred power from the Ethereal Cloud Palace, beneath the Ice Lake, others might not feel it, but don’t forget."

"For thousands of years, it has been me fighting Mu Xinlan and stopping her plot to destroy the Eastern Continent, so—"

"No one understands Mu Xinlan better than I do."

Upon hearing this, a flash of despair crossed Ji Taimei’s eyes, and then she clenched her teeth and harshly said:

"Alright then!"

"Since you put it this way! I, Ji Taimei, will lay my cards on the table!"

"I have a little... collaboration with Mu Saint!"

"However, I made this decision as a way to save the country!"

"The last two righteous demon wars, His Majesty the Demon Emperor hid in the Demon Emperor’s Palace, unaware, but you! You truly participated! That Mu Xinlan! Even under the siege of elite forces from the Eight Great Demon Sects, he came and went freely, causing rivers of blood and despair!"

"After the second righteous demon war, the Eight Great Demon Sects seemed to each strive for self-improvement, sharpening their weapons to prepare for the next war, but in reality—"

"Everyone knows in their hearts!"

"The demon cannot defeat the righteous!"

"As long as Mu Xinlan does not ascend and continues to carry the flag for the righteous path, the fall of our Eastern Continent is just a matter of time! Isn’t it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qingmiao’s pretty face, which had been cold and proud the whole time, was also covered with a layer of gloom, mumbling, "Blame me, if I were stronger and defeated that woman, you little chick... perhaps you should have been a young talent second only to Qingling, a great aid to the rise of Eastern Continent."

She sighed softly and then said, "So, you directly colluded with the enemy? Can you live up to the cultivation of the elders in the Hehuan Sect?"

"No!"

Ji Taimei looked coldly at her and waved her hand dismissively, "Precisely because I, Ji Taimei, have received great kindness from the elders, lifting me, an orphan without a background, to the position of Sect Master!"

"Therefore! As the Sect Master, I must repay them even more!"

At this point, his expression was resolute like iron, shedding blood and tears, and he actually exuded a somewhat heroic aura: "Since the third righteous demon war is destined to happen! In order to prevent the Hehuan Sect, and even the entire Eastern Continent from being devastated, I can only sacrifice my reputation and infiltrate the enemy!"

"Mu Xinlan promised me!"

"As long as I become the Eastern Continent’s alliance leader, open Hongmeng Pass at the border of Eastern Continent, and allow righteous cultivators to enter, she will not start a massacre and will only kill some notorious demon path villains as a warning!"

"Not only that, she will also assist me in creating an entirely new...."

"New - Demon - Path!"

At the end of his speech, as if the vision of the future was right in front of him, the young Sect Master of Hehuan Sect wept tearfully and shouted vehemently.

For this day.

He sacrificed too much!

Ruined his reputation, submitted to the enemy, and was treated like a pig or dog by that spoiled Ninth Princess.

Moreover!

As a tough iron-blooded man, he even submitted under the hideous dwarf, the Demon Emperor!

He is the true savior of the demon path!

After a wave of self-moving reflection.

He looked again at the complex expressions of the woman in front of him, his voice trembling:

"Dark Queen, what I said, does it not shock you at all?"

"Ji Taimei, back to our previous topic." Xiao Qingmiao said seriously: "Do you know why I would set up this barrier instead of exposing your traitorous identity in front of the heroes of Eastern Continent?"

"I...."

Ji Taimei hesitated upon hearing it, looking defeated, "I truly don’t know...."

"Alright, let me tell you."

Xiao Qingmiao’s face turned coldly stern, decisively saying, "Because the third righteous demon war is inevitable, Eastern Continent urgently needs a true demon path emperor to stand out, unite hearts, and jointly resist foreign enemies! Even—"

"To reverse the fate for the demon path, overturn heaven’s order, and plant the blood-colored King’s Flag at the peak of Ethereal Cloud Palace!"

"As long as what is done is right."

"Why can’t the demon path defeat the righteous!?"

"Therefore, today!"

"Is also the day I have looked forward to most in these millennia!"

Saying this, the first magnificent witch of Eastern Continent hopefully gazed south towards the direction of the Four Symbols Extreme Palace.

Hearing the impassioned words of the Eastern Monarch, Ji Taimei was also ignited, excitedly saying, "So! Dark Queen! This true demon path emperor you speak of... does it refer to the younger generation? If not, why would you help conceal my matters with Mu Xinlan?"

"No, Ji Taimei, you’re just a tool person."

"Next, you just need to stay put, and together with me—"

"Wait for the return of that true demon path emperor!"

As Xiao Qingmiao spoke, her well-maintained fair jade hands unconsciously rested on her abdomen, feeling the still-awake demon tattoo.

This thing, she probably will never let go in her life.

After all....

This was left by that young, handsome, world-dominating true demon path emperor for her!

"Qingling, this is all I can do for you."

"Of course, this does not mean that I like you much, all of this... is only for Yuerong’s sake!"

The Dark Queen murmured to herself, with a blush on her cheeks.

Then, at this moment.

Outside the window, a sudden wind rose violently, and the firmament changed color!

A powerful aura of the Demon Sword Jianshen silently enveloped the sky above the Holy Land of Hehuan Sect!

"This is...."

Xiao Qingmiao’s heart trembled, gazing at the skylight dome.

Simultaneously.

Feeling the celestial disturbance outside the window, everyone present also fell into panic!

Even—

More intense than when the Dark Queen and Ji Taimei confronted each other before!

In the next moment.

Under the stunned, shocking gaze of tens of thousands of devil cultivators in the Blissful Sky Palace.

High above the firmament of the venue, powerful Demon Sword vibes gradually emerged, revealing vivid scenes visible to the naked eye....

....

....

Inside the Sword Storing Room at the peak of Four Symbols Extreme Palace.

Bai Feng looked towards the black-clothed female divine soul attached to the Demon Sword Jianshen, striving to appear calm: "Mu Xinlan, what’s your intent? Hmm?"

"Bail Qingling, haven’t you felt it yet? Or... is your conscience guilty, truly forgetting all past events?"

"Fine, next, let me show you clearly! Let that foolish woman, and the whole Eastern Continent see clearly!"

"You! Bail Qingling! What a cold-hearted and ungrateful scoundrel, a traitor!"

"What Great Love Immortal, and your entanglement with that first love Qing Mei, are all deceiving lies you told the world!"

The image of the black-clothed woman gradually transformed into that of a white-clothed woman!

Although the voice and appearance are extremely similar, Bai Feng still keenly sensed...

These two women are not the same person at all!

Just as he panicked and hesitated whether to play it safe and activate the "Nine Apertures Life Shedding Cicada" and flee.

As the sword vibes in the sky completely dispersed.

A strange yet familiar memory irrigated from the crown of his head, planted deeply into the sea of his consciousness.

In a fleeting moment that felt like a long age had passed.

He finally retrieved all the memories about this demon sword!

He looked again at the divine soul of the white-clothed woman on the demon sword, his expression disdainful: "Mu Xinlan, do you think you’ve won?"

"Hmm?"

The white-clothed woman frowned slightly, her expression stalled.

"No, from beginning to end."

"I, Bail Qingling, have always loved Mu Xinyin, not you."

As Qingling Demon Sovereign’s lips curved in a pitiful yet cold smile.

The divine soul of the white-clothed woman seemed gravely wounded, showing a flicker of confusion, almost dispersing her soul!
