Chapter 144: Sword's Memory (5,000 Words) (Part 3)
"Ascension, or... falling into the Hongmeng Broken Boundary, never to be reborn."
Upon hearing this, the divine soul of the woman in black paused for a moment, then with reddened rims, said, "I just don't understand you, girl! What's wrong with ascension? Pursuing a higher realm of life, free from worldly disputes!"
"If it's really not possible—"
"You should just fall into the boundary forever, completely erased, and we die together, putting an end to everything! That's far better than worrying about this and that now!"
"To be honest, it doesn't matter to us sisters who lives or dies between the righteous and the demonic! All causality operates by heavenly law, let it be, wouldn't that be better?"
It seemed that emotions accumulated over the years exploded completely, as the woman in black spoke hysterically, illusory tears gushing forth!
"Oh sister, you and I are twins at heart, with souls closer than any sisters in this world, but..."
"Why don't you understand me?"
Mu Xinlan shook her head, her expression extremely sorrowful, her eyes slightly reddened.
However, unlike the woman in black whom she referred to as "sister."
Her demeanor gradually shifted from melancholy to resilience, preventing the tears from falling in the end.
"Sister, at this point, I don't expect you to understand what I'm doing anymore."
"You only need to know one thing!"
"If we can't uproot all Devil Cultivators, eradicate them, and wipe out those evil, filthy, violent, sinister deviant paths and Gu Techniques from the human world, and restore tranquility and peace to the world."
"I, Mu Xinlan, even if I ascend and become the Fairy Empress of the upper realm, will not be happy!"
"The nature of the Demon Path is evil, it is wrong! The end of the Righteous Path is perpetual good, it is right!"
"This is an eternal principle of the world! Therefore, everything I do is to carry out the will of the heavenly law!"
"So..."
"Make a decision today, sister."
Under the moonlight, the Dao Sect Mysterious Lady raised a perfectly beautiful face of tragic beauty and lifted the azure sword once again, with an expression of utter resolve:
"Will you withdraw peacefully, witnessing me eliminating the Current Demon Emperor of the Eastern Continent, thus building merit for the people, or..."
"Join me in visiting the underworld, completely eradicated?"
"Mu Xinlan! You're insolent! You... you... are you threatening me?"
The woman in black said angrily, "Mu Xinlan! Don't forget! Just earlier, you disregarded my advice and forced yourself into that 'Slaughter Immortal Seven Absolute Formation'. If it wasn't for the power of my Life Magic Sword assisting you in shattering the formation's key to escape, you would have been completely erased by now!"
"Haven't you recognized yourself yet?"
"Even though you're a prodigy, Mu Xinlan! Your talents might even... even be a bit superior to mine!"
"However!"
"Without the assistance of my Demon Sword, your strength would drop by at least thirty to forty percent! You are hardly worthy of the position of Taoist School's leader!"
Upon hearing this.
The woman in white was first stunned for a few seconds.
Then.
Her serenely tranquil face, as beautiful as a Saint, for the first time showed intense fluctuations!
This was—
Enough to awe all beings and demonic heroes—the wrath of the Dao Sect Mysterious lady!
As a result, at this moment…
Even though it's merely a memory image, the demonic heroes observing this memory couldn't help but take a deep breath!
"Mu Xinyin! Listen well!"
"Without this sword, I, Mu Xinlan, can still slay the Demon Path!"
"Withdraw, now!"
The woman in white furrowed her brows, her beautiful eyes cold and stern, exuding an aura of overwhelming dominance, like a Goddess in fury!
The very next moment!
Swoosh!
She raised her hand and decisively threw the sword in her hand off the cliff!
Presently, whether it was the impact of the scene or it was too intense.
This act of Mu Xinlan throwing the sword caused most people present to shiver internally, instinctively taking a step back!
Upon listening closely.
They could even hear, beneath the sky, the faint echo of the demon sword's spirit wailing!
At that moment when everyone's minds were in disarray.
An unexpected scene appeared atop the heavenly dome!
The demon sword fell but a few yards.
A nimble figure, as if waiting for long, leaped up from the cliffs below, catching the azure demon sword firmly in his hand!
Bathed in moonlight, his appearance was barely illuminated!
He was unmistakably a—
A beautiful youth with tattered clothes, pale skin, yet stunning features!
Seeing events take such a dramatic turn.
Inside the Blissful Sky Palace, everyone couldn't help but exclaim again in unison:
"Oh my God! Who is this young man again?!"
"This person has obtained Mu Xinlan's Life Magic Sword, the future fortunes will be extraordinary!"
"Indeed! As this memory playback progresses, a second person has appeared! It's possible... this young man might actually be the owner of this memory!"
As everyone was still speculating.
Someone cried out:
"I recognize him! It's him! It's that man! It can't be wrong! The young Demon Lord who is absent today—"
"Bail Qingling!"
......
In the VIP seats of the first hall.
Upon once again seeing the Godfather from his youth, Ye Hongyi, who had been sitting obediently in the Cangming Sect's main seat, could no longer contain herself and approached her aunt and the Dark Queen at the front.
She happened to meet them while they were in conversation.
"You can't imagine, can you?"
Xiao Qingmiao looked at Han Jinniang's shocked face with a sigh: "The man you like... cough cough."
She quickly held her tongue and changed her words: "Actually, even I didn't expect this, this little Qingling, tsk tsk."
As she had just spoken.
Suddenly, an unexpected sweet and pleasant voice came from behind her:
"Master!"
Wait!
This voice is....
Xiao Qingmiao was greatly shocked, and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
She saw a round-faced beauty with a high and voluptuous figure, wearing a white ruqun with her hair in a bun, approaching her with a joyful face!
It's Yuerong!
My long-missed obedient disciple Yuerong!
Xiao Qingmiao was overjoyed and was about to spread her arms to welcome her.
Then suddenly thought of something!
Her expression suddenly stiffened.
"Wuwuwuwu!"
"Yuerong! Master failed you!"
......
......
Meanwhile.
Inside the Four Symbols Extreme Palace.
Sitting cross-legged with a carefree expression, Bai Feng glanced sidelong at the Dao Sect Mysterious lady's Divine Soul with a dejected look on her face at the top of the dome, "Mu Xinlan, is this the result you wanted? For all the heroes of the Eastern Continent to know you are of twin souls? For everyone to know that Mu Xinlan is about to fall, her life is short? Tsk tsk, you ah you ah....."
"You are really quite nice, aren't you!"
"Bail Qingling you......"
"The memory preserved on that Demonic Sword, was it not yours?"
Mu Xinlan gritted her teeth, resentfully glaring at the evil and charming handsome rival who had troubled her all her life.
At this moment, her heart was extremely filled with regret, feeling that she had never been so defeated in her life!
"No, within the Demonic Sword, there are my memories, but....."
"That part of the memory is carried by the sword spirit, so next...."
As he said this, the triumphant look on Bai Feng's face gradually faded, and his expression became solemn:
"You will also see some images that will shock and overthrow your understanding."
"Mu Xinlan, you think you know me, you think you've mastered me, however—"
"There are many things you don't know."
At this, the Qingling Demon Sovereign sighed softly, a touch of inextinguishable melancholy showing in his handsome eyes!

PS:
This chapter has been cut and reduced for a long time, Snow Leopard tossed around for a day and discovered that the climax plot of this Demon Path conference closure simply can't be completed in one chapter.
Even after Snow Leopard deleted a lot of the backstory with Mu Xinlan, it's still impossible.
Because there are many detailed interactions between the protagonist and Mu Xinlan sisters.
So, Snow Leopard simply decided to let go, I will write each part according to my original plot outline, even if people call it filler, and many brothers abandon the book, it doesn't matter!!!
The performance of this book is already such that no matter how bad it gets, how much worse can it possibly be?
Since I can't make much money, Snow Leopard must give respect to the self who originally conceived this story.
After this chapter is uploaded, I will continue more updates at midnight. If you stay up late to read, you'll be able to see them.
If you want to abandon the book, it doesn't matter, just don't leave comments for Snow Leopard to see, it's quite hurtful T_T
