Chapter 675: Hatred born out of love, Su Qingge’s calculation
“Tell me, who are you? Or are you just a pawn used by the true inheritor of demonic arts to deceive others? Even if you survived the catastrophe, you can’t be my opponent now. You were able to escape back then, but today won’t be that lucky.”
In the quiet courtyard, Lan Yifei stood with his hands behind his back, and spoke lightly, as if there were endless rays of light surging all over his body. He was extremely confident and he didn’t turn his head, but he had a calm smile on his face as if he knew that the person would not be his opponent.
As someone with the True Body of Dao, an extremely mysterious physique that had never appeared in the Upper Realm since ancient times, he did have such confidence.
This kind of physique was naturally compatible with the Dao. Even at the time of birth, the true essence of the Dao would be born in the body, which would absorb the power of all things in the world.
As long as the soul was intact, the spiritual energy would be unceasing, it could be termed as inexhaustible, innately invincible. Even in the face of an opponent who was far stronger than him, he still had the means to protect himself and escape, so he was not worried about falling.
Before, without knowing what was going on, the news that he possessed the True Body of Dao had accidentally leaked out. Then, when he was out on a trip, he was attacked by the inheritor of the demonic arts.
Originally, due to many rumors, Lan Yifei was extremely afraid of the inheritors of demonic arts and knew that his own origin was very rare and precious. If his identity was leaked, his origin would definitely be coveted by the inheritors of demonic arts.
So that time when he encountered the attack of the inheritor of demonic arts, he was ready to fight to the death. But he never expected to have greatly overestimated the strength of the inheritor of the demonic art who had come with the intention to attack and kill him. The strength of the other party’s cultivation was even much lower than his.
Facing such an opponent, Lan Yifei didn’t dare to relax too much, after all, he was the descendant of a famous family. Among the younger generation in the Upper Realm, who would not be afraid to face the inheritors of demonic arts?
But in the ensuing battle, he discovered that this so-called inheritor of demonic arts was not as scary as the rumors.
Although the opponent’s methods were tricky and weird, making it hard to guard against, they had not reached the point where they could easily sweep away the younger generation.
From Lan Yifei’s point of view, the inheritor of demonic arts was the only one who had escaped many times from Gu Changge. How could such a character be so simple? In the huge Upper Realm, who was sure that they could escape from Gu Changge and even preserve his life?
But the inheritors of demonic arts were the only ones capable of doing it. Just thinking about it could make one’s scalp tingle and one’s hair stands on end. However, he who had such an idea at the time soon realized that he was wrong again.
The inheritor of demonic arts who dared to attack him finally seemed to realize that something was wrong, and began to retreat, intending to flee far away.
Lan Yifei understood that it was because he was too low-key and had never shown his great strength to the outside world, which caused this inheritor of demonic arts to carelessly underestimate the enemy.
Therefore, he chased after him without hesitation, and what happened next was no surprise. After some fighting, this inheritor of demonic arts who stirred up the situation in the Upper Realm was not his opponent. He fled all the way and was almost killed by him.
In the end, he fled outside the territory where the Demonic Mountain was located. He was afraid of the mighty Red Demon there, so he gave up.
With that, Lan Yifei returned to the sect, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He felt that the inheritor of demonic arts who attacked him might be just a counterfeit or a substitute, not the true deal.
If he was the real inheritor of demonic arts, he would have been killed long ago. After all, in front of the true inheritors of demonic arts, no matter what their physique was, they were all prey.
Since ancient times, there had been no so-called prey that could escape the hands of the hunter. Although Lan Yifei was confident in his own strength, it did not mean that he was blindly arrogant.
It was also because of this that he had been low-key in these years and had not gained a great reputation in the outside world. Thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more that he must have accidentally uncovered a shocking secret.
He didn’t say anything about this matter, even his elders and master didn’t know. To this day, the inheritor of demonic arts, which he considered a counterfeit, unexpectedly reappeared and planned to take revenge on him. .
This made Lan Yifei feel very ridiculous. However, he wanted to know more about the identity of the person and also if there was really a true inheritor of demonic arts hidden behind the other party.
If yes, then who was the real inheritor of demonic arts?
“You are so confident that you think I can’t kill you this time? Or do you believe I can’t take your origin?” The indifferent and calm voice sounded. It was indistinguishable from male to female, but only revealed a murderous intent, which made people shudder.
In the courtyard, it was extremely quiet with gurgling small bridges, rockery, and pavilions that were well arranged; if not for the astonishing murderous intent, this place would look extraordinarily elegant.
After returning to his thoughts, Lan Yifei turned around calmly and looked toward the source of the sound.
“Then you can give it a try. I really want to know how much you have improved after these few months. However, I want to know more about who you are,” Lan Yifei said calmly, looking very natural.
This place had already been engraved with a net of heaven and earth by him, and the heaven and earth were connected with the divine formation, linking the laws and order, sealing the sky and the earth.
Not even a fly could escape. The other party was so bold and confident to break in like this, it really made him feel ridiculous and stupid.
“It doesn’t matter who I am, what matters is that today you are going to die.” The voice in the dark was still indifferent as if it contained no emotion.
After that, a terrifying black wind swept across along with bursts of runes and attacked Lan Yifei from the front. This was a shocking murderous intent, containing the terrifying sound of the Great Dao, which was enough to shatter the soul of a cultivator and annihilate all tangible things. However, Lan Yifei seemed to have sensed this murderous intent long ago, and raised his eyebrows.
Then the brilliance of the sky rushed out from under his feet, and a thick mountain of runes was condensed to block this shocking murderous intent.
As the True Body of Dao was born with the unity of Dao, standing under Heaven and Earth, he was the darling of this world, with inexhaustible divine power, enough to suppress everything. He could feel the opponent’s strength, compared to a few months ago, his opponent had indeed made great progress, it was likely that they were instructed by an expert during the time of injury. But if his opponent wanted to defeat him, then using this attack was still too naive.
“You are not my opponent. If you tell me who the real inheritor of demonic arts is, I may consider letting you leave and save your life,” Lan Yifei said lightly.
Su Qingge, who had never shown up, frowned when she heard this, feeling that things were still very difficult. She thought that during this period of time in the Demonic Mountain, after being taught by the Red Demon Chan Hong Yi, the ancestor of the demonic arts, her cultivation base was much more advanced, and she could devour the origin of Lan Yifei, in order to repay the debt of being chased and resolve her hatred.
But Lan Yifei’s strength was still very strong, it seemed that she was not the only one who was making progress.
In the current Upper Realm, almost every young generation was trying every means to catch up in that person’s footsteps.
“The true inheritor of demonic arts? Even you think I’m a fake?” Su Qingge spoke indifferently, thinking that she had been fooled and deceived by Gu Changge all this time, and was being controlled by him without knowing it.
A bit of hostility and hatred emerged in her eyes. She knew that she would hate Gu Changge, more or less because of the influence of Chan Hong Yi. If Chan Hong Yi didn’t tell her, she might have been kept in the dark by Gu Changge until today, thinking that she was the true inheritor of demonic arts.
And he was the leader of the righteous way, the current leader of the Upper Realm, with celestial splendor, like the sun in the sky. His brilliance alone would overwhelm the ages. The deeper the love at the beginning, the deeper the hatred after knowing the truth.
After she left the Demonic Mountain, she once thought about finding Gu Changge and asking him about everything. But Su Qingge was even more afraid of seeing Gu Changge’s cold and heartless eyes after tearing off the warm disguise underneath.
He was the one who brought her up from the Lower Realm at the beginning, allowing her to gradually understand the world. She even bluntly uttered that without Gu Changge, she would not be where she was now. It was Gu Changge who single-handedly shaped her into who she was today.
The person who once gave her infinite hope and warmth, after removing that layer of hypocrisy, was left with only endless indifference and cruelty.
“Oh, it seems that you didn’t realize that you are a fake inheritor of demonic arts until now? So, you have been taking the blame for this person all this time?” Lan Yifei seemed to find this extremely funny, and there was undisguised mockery and sneer in his eyes.
Su Qingge said coldly in his eyes, “It doesn’t make any difference even if you say more, I will definitely devour your origin today.”
Seeing that Su Qingge, who was hiding in the dark, wanted to continue to attack, Lan Yifei’s expression also turned cold as he replied, “You can’t differentiate between good and bad. You really think that this level of strength is really comparable to a true inheritor of demonic arts, and you want to kill me? Just relying on you?”
Being hit by his words, Su Qingge’s face became colder and colder, her bare hands clenched tightly as a terrifying hostility lingered. She understood that after she fused another soul, her mood was no longer as calm and peaceful as before. Many things would trigger an unimaginable murderous aura and ferocity in her heart.
“It seems that you are just a poor pawn, and you don’t know who the true inheritor of demonic arts is.” Lan Yifei shook his head and sneered.
Su Qingge fell suddenly silent, it was hard to refute this, although it was too late for her to understand now, what Lan Yifei said was an indisputable fact.
In Gu Changge’s eyes, she might be such a pawn.
“I know who that person is.” Su Qingge’s expression returned to calm and indifferent, and she still hid in the dark and spoke.
“You know?” Lan Yifei was stunned for a moment, then he seemed a little unbelievable, and asked in a deep voice, “How can I trust you?”
It was not just him, probably, everyone in the Upper Realm wanted to know who the true inheritor of demonic arts was. There was an unconcealable excitement in his heart for a moment, maybe after seeing Su Qingge’s methods, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.
“From being unknown for twenty years, once born in the world, knows the world. If this real inheritor of demonic arts is exposed by my hands, then my low-profile and forbearing all these years will not have been for nought.” Lan Yifei’s eyes were bright, his heart was quite excited, and he thought of many things at once.
“Of course, I know, as far as I am concerned, he is my enemy,” Su Qingge said lightly, and put forward her own request, “I know you also want to discover his identity, so we can make a deal, I will tell you everything you want to know, and you, as the Daoist of the Dao Immortal Alliance, will collect origins for me.”
Hearing this, Lan Yifei sneered, appearing quite disdainful, “You really have nothing to fear. Since I want to know this, then wouldn’t it be enough for me to search your soul after killing you. Do I still need to make a deal with you?”
He was not stupid, once the matter of him collecting origins was exposed, Dao Immortal Alliance would not be able to keep him at that time.
“Since I dare to show up here, I am not worried that you can kill me. If you don’t agree, then I will add one more condition, I will tell you about the Immortal Swallowing Demonic Art that I know.” Su Qingge seemed not surprised by Lan Yifei’s reaction, a sneer was drawn at the corner of her mouth as she continued to speak calmly.
Since Gu Changge used her as a pawn, why couldn’t she learn from Gu Changge and use others as pawns? Hearing this, even with Lan Yifei’s state of mind, he suddenly became silent at this moment, his brows were wrinkled, and he seemed to be struggling.
Although the forces of all parties in the Upper Realm were Dao Systems, they hated the inheritors of demonic arts and wished to wipe them out completely. But if the inheritance of demonic arts fell into his own hands, who could really not be moved?
Seeing his expression, Su Qingge wasn’t surprised and didn’t speak.
In the courtyard, there was dead silence for a moment, and Lan Yifei’s expression finally recovered after being silent for a whole stick of incense.
“Okay, I promise you.” He agreed, deep in his eyes, something like wildfire was burning and spreading as it soon fell silent, calm, and confident.
Seeing his appearance, Su Qingge laughed in her heart like an idiot, but her face did not change. Even if Lan Yifei knew that Gu Changge was the true inheritor of demonic arts, what use would it be?
Did he dare to question, or investigate? 𝘳.𝑐ℴ
The ending after that was nothing more than practicing demonic arts, attracting Gu Changge’s attention, and then becoming the new culprit.
