“Is that so? Then I should thank you for your magnanimity!” Qi Huang said gratefully, then stated, “Actually, it’s fine to let it go, but I want to know what your plans are after awakening?”
“Plans?”
The source of Yin energy touched her red lips with a jade finger and said, “Of course, it’s to get revenge on the Immortal Alliance.”
“Seek revenge on the Immortal Alliance? That would be even better.”
Qi Huang’s heart moved.
But at this moment, the source of Yin energy continued, “And destroy the world while I’m at it!”
“Heh heh…”
Qi Huang smiled helplessly and asked, “I welcome your revenge on the Immortal Alliance with a hundred welcomes, but destroying the world? Is that your personal hobby?”
“Hobby? I don’t have such strange hobbies!”
The source of Yin energy sneered repeatedly, its figure quickly disappearing from its original spot, and its voice transmitted simultaneously, “If you want to hear the story, let my pet go first, you stinky sister!”
Qi Huang’s nerves had been stretched taut. Even so, her spiritual sense could only detect a faint afterimage flashing towards the white wolf she was restraining. Instinctively, she controlled her long hair to try and dodge.
“Swish…”
The afterimage’s speed was as fast as teleportation, and in the blink of an eye, it had passed between Qi Huang and Bai Yun.
Qi Huang felt a sharp pain at her scalp, and then the resisting force disappeared. When she looked again, her hair had all been severed by the other party. A great sense of powerlessness surged in her heart. After all, no matter how strong her previous opponents were, she could still paralyze them with her extremely strong spiritual sense, but this opponent was too terrifying. Even if she were acting, she couldn’t fool them.
“Your hair is quite tough, it almost didn’t break!”
The claw continued.
At this moment, Bai Yun had already fallen to the ground. It crawled beside the source of Yin energy, wagging its tail slightly and whimpering, “Miss! Bai Yun misses you so much. I thought I would never see you again just now.”
“Don’t worry, if she dares to hurt you, she will absolutely not leave the mass grave alive today!”
The source of Yin energy patted Bai Yun’s huge wolf head, then turned its head and said to Qi Huang, “Because you are indeed very beautiful, I, your sister, will grant you one last wish and tell you why I want to destroy the world!”
The source of Yin energy recalled for a moment, then began to narrate slowly, “About two thousand years ago, this Cult was filled with Four-eared Wolves, which are Bai Yun’s kin. They were stout and had keen hearing, essentially enhanced dogs, so many dignitaries tamed them as guard dogs.
Although Four-eared Wolves looked ferocious, they were gentle by nature, so many gradually integrated into human kingdoms. As generations passed, their temperament became similar to ordinary dogs, hence they were called Four-eared Dogs.”
The source of Yin energy said this, caressed Bai Yun’s large head again, and then introduced, “Bai Yun is a descendant of those Four-eared Dogs. He is gentle, well-behaved, and obedient. He was a birthday gift from my father when I turned sixteen, my best companion, and even saved me from human traffickers.”
As the source of Yin energy spoke, its expression turned cold, “Unfortunately, good times don’t last. At that time, the daughter of the Immortal Alliance Leader forcibly tamed a powerful Four-eared Wolf. Because his methods were too cruel, that Four-eared Wolf bit off two of his fingers! The Immortal Alliance Leader was furious. Not only did he kill the scarred Four-eared Wolf, but he also ordered the extermination of all Four-eared Wolves and Four-eared Dogs in the entire Cultivation World!”
Qi Huang took a deep breath. To exterminate an entire species because of two fingers of his daughter, this Immortal Alliance Leader was even more overbearing than an emperor.
“Because of his decree, the entire Cult experienced a bloody storm. Those who kept Four-eared Wolves or Four-eared Dogs tried every possible means to struggle, but none could protect their pets. Many even lost their lives! This massacre soon spread to our area. Four-eared Dogs were searched for in every street and alley. If found, they were executed on the spot. Those who resisted or harbored them were also killed.”
The source of Yin energy’s smile disappeared as it spoke, “I really don’t understand. Bai Yun has been well-behaved and sensible since he was young and has never harmed anyone. Why should he be killed for no reason? Even if a criminal commits an unforgivable crime, at most his entire clan is implicated. There’s no such thing as exterminating a species! Unfortunately, no one would listen to my plea. They only obeyed the Immortal Alliance’s orders!”
“My father also knew my relationship with Bai Yun, so he declared him dead to the public and had servants like Wang Jun take us away to escape. During this time, I met many people who were also fleeing with Four-eared Dogs. We quickly formed a large family, supporting each other. Over time, they all called me ‘Miss.’ Although the escape was very difficult, I was content as long as Bai Yun was safe.”
The source of Yin energy’s eyes suddenly erupted with Yin energy, and it gritted its teeth, “I thought I would live like this forever, but unfortunately, good times never last. The townspeople didn’t believe my father’s words at all. They had been monitoring our house, and soon found evidence of me secretly contacting my family. They provided it to the court, and the court immediately arrested my parents and spread the word that they would be publicly hanged to force me to appear.
I had no choice, so I entrusted Bai Yun to Wang Jun and the others, and went to see my parents alone. As a result, I naturally also went to the gallows! My parents were heartbroken and asked me why I was seeking death. What could I say? As a child, could I just watch my parents be dragged down by me and remain indifferent? All I could do was accompany them on their way!”
The source of Yin energy’s beautiful features began to contort as it spoke, “To be honest, I wasn’t afraid of death, but what I couldn’t understand was the attitude of those townspeople. Our family had helped them quite a bit before. Providing porridge on the streets was a common occurrence, and many people barely survived thanks to our family’s relief! Yet, outside the execution ground, they madly threw dirt and spat at us. They hit my family of three until we were bleeding, as if we had committed some heinous crime!”
“Why?”
Qi Huang frowned as she listened.
“I don’t know why, so I asked my father on the spot. Guess what he said? Those people were simply jealous of the rich and kicked us when we were down. At that moment, I truly understood the ugliness of human nature!”
The source of Yin energy’s body surged with Yin energy.
“Damn it!”
Qi Huang also trembled with anger.
“I thought I could die peacefully with my parents. To my surprise, during the execution, those servants and friends of mine came to rescue me. Unfortunately, they were unarmed and couldn’t change anything, and they ended up sacrificing their lives in vain. The imperial guards raised their swords and hacked wantonly, while the onlookers deliberately blocked their way. They cried helplessly like livestock in a pen, begging loudly, but in the end, no one escaped their clutches.”
The source of Yin energy calmed down a bit as it spoke, then continued, “After we died, the court dragged all our bodies to this Ping Mountain and discarded them here. Thus, this place became a mass grave! Fortunately, heaven has eyes, and I managed to see the light of day again. Tell me, should I take revenge on the Immortal Alliance? And should I destroy this world of ugly human nature?”
“You should! But I still want to make one point: not everyone in this world is ugly. I have never persecuted you, nor have my relatives and friends, nor their ancestors. Therefore, I will not stand by and watch you harm everyone unless you can guarantee that you will only kill those who deserve to die, or step over my dead body.”
Qi Huang stated solemnly.
“After thousands of years, where can I find those enemies? What I want to do is take revenge on their descendants. No matter how widespread their dirty bloodline is, as long as I destroy the world, there will be no fish that slip through the net!”
The source of Yin energy said forcefully.
“In that case, there’s nothing to discuss. If you want to destroy the world, first ask if I agree!”
With a thought, a wooden box appeared out of thin air. Qi Huang knew that with her own strength, she definitely couldn’t defeat this terrifying opponent. Now, she could only rely on this thing.
“Just you? You deserve to die a hundred times over just for hurting Bai Yun. Now you dare to block my path, so let me become the first stepping stone on my path of revenge!”
Fierce light flashed in the source of Yin energy’s eyes, and its figure suddenly disappeared from its original spot.
