Chapter 293: The Yandere Demon Lord 47

“I understand. Take him to the back mountain immediately,” Tang Wan said at once.

Lin Tongyin looked at her.

“We’re not inviting the other disciples to observe the Nascent Soul formation?”

“No.” Tang Wan shook her head decisively. “There’s no time. Forget the ceremony.”

“Alright.”

Afterward, the two immediately brought Li Yan to the back mountain to guard him during his breakthrough.

…

Just as Li Yan entered the critical stage of forming his Nascent Soul—

A deafening dragon roar suddenly exploded across the sky.

The terrifying howl shook the nearby mountains and forests so violently that waves of trees swayed wildly.

Seeing this, Tang Wan immediately turned toward Lin Tongyin.

“Tongtong, quickly set up a soundproof barrier!”

“Mm!” Lin Tongyin nodded rapidly.

The dragon’s roar carried far too much spiritual pressure.

If Li Yan were disturbed during such a critical moment, his Nascent Soul formation could fail completely.

…

At the same time, the entire Changyun Sect heard the dragon’s cry from outside the mountain gates.

Then a cold voice amplified by spiritual energy echoed through the sky.

“Shuiyue—come out.”

“I’m back.”

It was Su Muyan.

Ten years.

The deeper her love for that man once was…

The deeper her hatred had become now.

The moment Su Muyan’s voice rang out, the elders of the Changyun Sect immediately rushed out one after another.

Meanwhile, inside his cultivation hall, Shuiyue Shangxian slowly opened his eyes.

Then he rose expressionlessly and walked outside.

Soon, his white figure appeared high in the sky opposite Su Muyan.

“You’ve returned,” Shuiyue Shangxian said calmly.

“I was always worried you might fall into demonic deviation.”

“Now that I see you are safe, I’m relieved.”

Hearing this, Su Muyan sneered coldly.

“Relieved?”

“I’m afraid you were hoping I’d go mad instead!”

“That way, you and the Changyun Sect would finally have a righteous excuse to eliminate me completely and cover up the scandal of the lofty Shuiyue Shangxian developing feelings for his own disciple!”

Her eyes were icy with hatred.

The next moment, she drew her sword.

“Enough hypocritical nonsense.”

“Today, either you die or I die.”

“And if I survive…”

“I’ll massacre the entire Changyun Sect!”

As soon as the words fell, Su Muyan’s figure shot forward like lightning straight toward Shuiyue Shangxian.

Seeing this, Shuiyue Shangxian raised his sword calmly to meet her attack.

Clang!

The sharp collision of blades rang through the air.

Then the two separated instantly.

Su Muyan looked at him coldly.

“Shuiyue, use your full strength.”

“If this is all you’re capable of…”

“Then you’re definitely dying today.”

“Because I won’t show mercy to you anymore.”

Hearing this, Shuiyue Shangxian stared at her silently for a moment.

Then, slowly, he summoned his child sword with his left hand as well.

“You’ve improved tremendously,” he said calmly.

“Out of respect for you, I should naturally fight with my full strength.”

Now, Su Muyan had already become an opponent capable of standing equally against him.

If he still held back, that would instead be disrespectful to her.

…

“Respect?” Su Muyan laughed mockingly.

Perhaps in his eyes now, only someone strong enough to stand beside him deserved his attention.

How ridiculous.

The next moment, she flicked her sword lightly.

“Then let’s begin.”

Soon, the two figures clashed fiercely in midair.

Seeing this scene, the Changyun Sect elders all wore grave expressions.

None of them had expected Su Muyan to grow to such a terrifying level in only ten years.

Her cultivation speed had already surpassed every recorded genius in the history of the Changyun Sect.

…

Meanwhile, Tang Wan was secretly watching the live broadcast of the battle between the male and female leads through Little Cutie.

Seeing Su Muyan completely suppress the disadvantage against Shuiyue Shangxian, she couldn’t help looking stunned.

“The heroine’s combat power skyrocketed after darkening…”

“How the hell did she manage that?”

Little Cutie immediately explained:

“There’s a purgatory inside the Mirage Ruins filled with evil spirits and battle puppets.”

“After obtaining the inheritance there, Su Muyan spent ten straight years training through self-destructive cultivation.”
