Chapter 269: The Yandere Demon Lord 23

 The instant the Scarlet Flame Sword flew toward him, Lin Tongyin instinctively reached out his right hand.

The next moment—

He froze in shock.

The Scarlet Flame Sword had actually flown obediently into his grasp without showing the slightest resistance.

This…

Lin Tongyin’s heart shook violently.

Why was this happening?

The Scarlet Flame Sword, which should’ve belonged solely to the legendary Demon Lord—

Was now willingly submitting to him?

Before he could even process the situation, a sudden burning pain erupted from the hand gripping the sword.

Lin Tongyin immediately tried to throw the Scarlet Flame Sword away.

But at that same instant—

A violent force suddenly exploded within his dantian, as though something hidden deep inside his body was desperately trying to awaken.

At the same time, endless memories flooded frantically into his mind.

“Ahhh!”

Lin Tongyin instantly dropped the sword and clutched his head while collapsing onto the ground in agony.

Seeing this, Heifeng hurried over anxiously, repeatedly licking his face with its tongue.

“Master…”

…

Roughly half an hour later—

The motionless Lin Tongyin finally stirred again.

Then—

One golden eye and one black eye slowly opened simultaneously.

Cold, indifferent light flashed across them.

Seeing Heifeng looming over him, Lin Tongyin impatiently slapped the python’s massive head aside before rubbing his temples and slowly standing up.

He truly hadn’t expected that after the final battle between immortals and demons—

Not only had his body regressed into that of a child…

He had even somehow entered the immortal sect and become a disciple there.

And on top of that—

One of his eyes had been gouged out.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Lin Tongyin slowly raised a hand toward his restored left eye.

The next second—

The corners of his lips gradually curved upward into an eerie, dangerous smile.

Then a low chuckle escaped his throat.

“Tang Wan…”

“Heh…”

If his memories hadn’t awakened, he likely never would’ve realized—

The current Tang Wan was no longer the original Tang Wan.

Five hundred years ago, he had personally encountered the real Tang Wan before.

On the surface, she appeared gentle and elegant.

But underneath—

She had been vicious and ruthless, even crueler than many members of the Demon Race.

For someone like that, discovering the hidden power within his body and digging out his eye to force out secrets was entirely believable.

But the current Tang Wan…

Was different.

She believed she had concealed herself perfectly.

Yet in reality, her behavior was full of flaws.

And the biggest flaw of all—

Was restoring his eye.

That was something the original Tang Wan would absolutely never have done.

Still…

This new Tang Wan…

Was truly fascinating.

No matter who she actually was…

Or how she had taken over this body…

Since she had been his master for even one day—

Then for the rest of her life…

She would belong to Tong Yin.

Even if she was a righteous cultivator.

…

At that moment, Heifeng cautiously leaned closer again.

“Master… what are you laughing about?”

It suddenly felt strangely terrified.

Hearing this, Lin Tongyin merely glanced at it indifferently.

“Guard the entrance.”

“This deity will enter seclusion for several days.”

Now that his memories had awakened, the immense power inside his body still needed time to fully stabilize.

“Yes, Master!”

Heifeng immediately slithered obediently toward the cave entrance.

Meanwhile, Lin Tongyin sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.

…

Seven days later, Lin Tongyin finally opened his eyes once more.

It was time to leave.

But before departing, he suddenly looked toward Heifeng and said calmly:

“Attack this deity immediately.”

“Do not hold back.”

Heifeng instantly froze.

Master…

Had his brain broken?

Seeing Heifeng remain motionless, Lin Tongyin frowned coldly.

“Do you require this deity to repeat himself a second time?”

Heifeng immediately nodded frantically.

The next second, its massive tail slammed directly toward Lin Tongyin.

Originally, it assumed Lin Tongyin would dodge.

Unexpectedly—

He took the attack head-on.

Bang!

Lin Tongyin’s body smashed violently against the cave wall before crashing heavily onto the ground.

“Master!”

Heifeng instantly panicked.

“Why didn’t you dodge?!”

Hearing this, Lin Tongyin merely wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and gave a soft laugh.

“It’s fine.”

“You did well.”

After all—

If he didn’t get injured…

How else was he supposed to make Master feel heartache for him?
