At this moment, the demonized Qin Yushou was depressed. He had just killed Ye Xuan and was proudly leaving the Taihua Grand Hall.
But the next moment, time actually reversed, and he found himself back to the moment right before he successfully killed Ye Xuan.
That’s not all–!!!
What depressed him the most was that, although time had reversed, everyone’s memories seemed not to have reversed. Everyone clearly remembered what he had just done...
In an instant, he was surrounded by the masters of Taihua. Qin Zhenren, Elder Qingxue, the other six Sword Saints of Taihua, and even Hu Lan, the female immortal from the Jade Fox Palace who was visiting, were all glaring at him menacingly.
The space around him was completely sealed off. In such a situation, even the most powerful being would find it impossible to tear through space and escape.
“Heart demon, show your true self–!” Looking at Qin Yushou in front of him, Qin Zhenren spoke calmly, “Today, you will not leave Taihua.”
Although she did not understand what was happening, just now... time seemed to have reversed.
The events that were to happen shortly were known to her very clearly. This Taihua disciple had already been possessed by the heart demon.
Faced with Daoqin Zhenren, the heart demon became even more depressed. Not being able to kill Ye Xuan was not a big deal for him, but now, surrounded by the high masters of Taihua, even if he wanted to run, he could not.
Even the weakest demon requires a very powerful immortal to contend with, and the heart demon, being among the elite of demons, had combat power close to the top immortals after successful possession...
However, facing the current lineup of Taihua Sect, not to mention one heart demon, even ten more would probably not be able to escape.
“Sect Master... What are you talking about, I don’t quite understand?”
At this time, facing the encirclement of the Taihua masters, the heart demon did not choose to openly admit his identity but instead started to argue, looking for an opportunity to escape.
Sitting and waiting for death is not the style of this race.
“Hmph–!”At that moment, Qingxue had already drawn her Profound Sword, pointing the tip at the heart demon Qin Yushou.
“Do not argue, accept your death–!!!” She had already heard about Qin Yushou’s deeds from Yu Ling’er and Ye Xuan.
Although Qingxue did not speak it aloud, a murderous intent had already risen in her heart. It was just that she never had the chance to act before.
Now that Qin Yushou had been possessed by the heart demon, Qingxue naturally did not hesitate to want to kill him. Moreover, this guy had just killed Ye Xuan in front of her again.
Although it seemed to be something that happened in the future, the pain she felt in that instant was real. She had sworn never to let anyone hurt Ye Xuan again.
But Qin Yushou made her violate this oath once more, tasting the pain of Ye Xuan dying before her eyes.
This time, even if Qin Zhenren tried to stop her, she would kill Qin Yushou–!!!
Seeing that Qingxue seemed especially hateful towards Qin Yushou, not giving him any chance to argue and about to strike to kill him, Qin Zhenren was somewhat surprised.
However, she did not intervene. In her view, this was definitely Qingxue’s method of forcing the heart demon to reveal himself, not some personal vendetta.
She was the head of Taihua, seeing her disciple bewitched by the heart demon, she naturally couldn’t directly kill him. This was not the way of the righteous path.
She couldn’t act herself, but there was no need to stop others from acting, right? She did not believe that under Qingxue’s deadly move, the heart demon could resist not fighting back.
Once he fights back, he would definitely be exposed. Not only Qin Zhenren thought this way, but many of the surrounding Taihua elders also thought the same.
In their view, Qingxue definitely wanted to use this method to force the heart demon to show himself. Elder Qingxue would naturally measure her actions; she wouldn’t really give no chance and directly kill Qin Yushou.
Thus, they did not intend to stop Qingxue as this is not the way of righteousness.
They don’t believe that under Qingxue’s deadly move, the heart demon could resist not fighting back. As soon as he retaliates, he will definitely be exposed.
And the heart demon naturally doesn’t know what grudge Qingxue holds against Qin Yushou. In his view, as a Taihua elder, Qingxue surely wouldn’t just kill a disciple who might be possessed by the heart demon at first sight, right?
So, Qingxue would surely hold back at the last moment. At this time, he cannot resist; if he resists, he will definitely be exposed, and then he really won’t be able to escape.
But by not resisting, he still has a chance to argue.
Thinking this, the heart demon suppressed the urge to resist Qingxue’s attack. He even pretentiously used Taihua techniques from Qin Yushou’s body to defend against Qingxue’s attacks.
At the same time, he called out to his master, Elder Qingguang, “Master, save me–!”
“...”
Elder Qingguang frowned slightly and showed no intention of intervening. He believed that Qingxue would surely measure her actions.
Everyone believed that Qingxue would measure her actions, including the heart demon Qin Yushou. So outwardly he appeared panicked, but internally he was calm.
He was certain that Qingxue would hold back at the last moment. Until, he saw... the moment Ye Xuan was watching him with an amused look.
He suddenly realized–!!! This Qingxue, she’s in league with Ye Xuan–!!!
Although he didn’t know why Ye Xuan harbored murderous intentions towards Qin Yushou, he had been possessing Qin Yushou for a long time and was certain that Ye Xuan originally had murderous intentions towards Qin Yushou.
If Qingxue was with Ye Xuan, then she would definitely take this opportunity to kill Qin Yushou.
Damn–!!! What is this Taihua elder doing, as an elder of the righteous immortal sect, actually seizing the opportunity to pursue personal vendettas and killing a fellow sect member on behalf of her disciple?!
When he thought of this, the heart demon panicked. He didn’t hesitate and immediately stimulated his demonic energy.
Instantly, a powerful demonic aura burst forth from Qin Yushou, and a demonic mark appeared on Qin Yushou’s forehead.
Under the brilliant demonic light, a powerful shield of demonic energy formed in front of the demonized Qin Yushou.
Clang–!!!
The Profound Sword, carrying the might of the Nine Heavens Mysterious technique, struck the shield of demonic energy, only breaking it but not harming the demonized Qin Yushou.
However, the demonized Qin Yushou became even more panicked at this time.
He would have been better off not moving, but this movement confirmed to Qin Zhenren and others that the events of the future were indeed true, and that Qin Yushou had been possessed by the heart demon.
At this time, they did not hesitate to make their move. Although they knew that Qin Yushou was possessed by the heart demon, their intention in striking was only to restrain him, to help expel the heart demon from him.
But, Qingxue really intended to kill the demonized Qin Yushou.
In the moment that Qin Zhenren and others joined forces to restrain the heart demon, Qingxue, with cold murderous intent in her eyes, did not hesitate and pierced through the demonized Qin Yushou with a sword.
“Ah–!!!” Qin Yushou couldn’t help but scream as the heart demon inside him tried to escape.
But, very quickly, the heart demon realized something terrifying.
“This is an immortal sword, no–!!!”
Demon bodies are naturally different from humans; ordinary weapons can’t hurt demons. The weapons of cultivators also have limited lethality against demons.
But, if it’s an immortal sword, its power is naturally incomparable to ordinary swords. Even though the heart demon itself was the type of demon adept at escaping, being pierced by the Profound Sword at this moment, it was forcibly pinned inside Qin Yushou’s body, unable to separate from the host.
At this moment, everyone inside the Taihua Grand Hall was shocked by the scene before them. Elder Qingxue actually pierced through Qin Yushou? Was she trying to kill him?!
“Hahahaha, the so-called righteous path of Taihua, is just like this...” At this time, the heart demon knew he could no longer escape.
And, being pierced by the immortal sword, his life force was extinguished, but before dying, he didn’t want to let Qingxue have an easy time.
So, he provocatively said, “You only needed to expel me to save him, yet you did not hesitate to kill him, do you have some hatred towards him? Hahaha–!”
Upon hearing this, Elder Qingguang’s expression suddenly turned ugly.
However, the heart demon then deliberately retracted his demonic energy, using Qin Yushou’s face, he spoke to Elder Qingguang.
“Master... Master... save me... I... I’ve been possessed by the heart demon... I never intended to do any evil... I really didn’t... Elder Qingxue... she’s being too harsh on this disciple...”
“Elder Qingxue, what is going on?” At this moment, Elder Qingguang could not hold back anymore and confronted Qingxue.
Qingxue, without hesitation, swept her Profound Sword, the sword intent bursting forth, furiously draining the life force of the demonized Qin Yushou.
“Ladies and gentlemen, let me explain.” At this time, Ye Xuan stepped forward, facing the still astonished crowd of Taihua, and he said.
“”You all must have felt it just now, that time seemed to have reversed, and you saw events that are to happen in the future, right?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded, “That’s right... just now, we seemed to have seen future events, as if time had reversed for a moment.”
Elder Qingguang looked at the demonized Qin Yushou, pierced by Qingxue’s sword, and snorted coldly, then asked Ye Xuan, “What does this have to do with Elder Qingxue striking down my disciple with such severity?”
“Of course, it’s related.” Ye Xuan answered, “Didn’t you see what he was going to do in the future?”
“What he was going to do in the future was merely under the deception of the heart demon, hardly a crime deserving death,” said Elder Qingguang.
Although he wanted to intervene and save his disciple right now, in front of Qingxue, he had no real power to act.
After all, Qingxue is one of the Sword Saint Elder of Taihua, while Elder Qingguang is merely a regular teaching elder.
