Chapter 1255: Chapter 77: Wind Poison, Sudden Onset_3 Chapter 1255: Chapter 77: Wind Poison, Sudden Onset_3 “!!!” Wan Li found himself speechless and agog.
“That mont, I almost released the formation’s core and threw myself at it.”
Dong Pingtian looked at Wan Li and said, “What about you? You struggled so hard yesterday you almost killed yourself. What did you see?”
Wan Li remained silent.
After a long while, he finally showed a hint of desolation at the corner of his mouth, “Much like you, that demon always evokes the people and things we most care about in our hearts. Its thods are fundantally the sa, not much difference.”
“Oh? Do tell, do tell? I just shared with you…”
Dong Pingtian said.
“Better left unsaid.”
“Still, you should share it. Once you do, we’ll both know each other’s weaknesses. If anything happens, we can help each other stay alert and add an extra layer of protection against enchantnt.”
“That’s true… Ah, speaking of which, you’re much luckier than I am.”
Wan Li gave a bitter chuckle, “Back then, I and my senior sister were cultivating the Cloud Peak Demonic Sword under our master’s guidance, while another junior uncle was cultivating the Ruthless Heavenly Sword… My senior sister and I loved each other, vowed to be together in this life and the next.”
“But there was a junior sister from my junior uncle’s sect who suddenly took a liking to and started clinging to , even though I was firm in my heart. Still, it’s undeniable that being pursued gave a sense of satisfaction and fed my vanity.”
Wan Li said indifferently, “Probably because I didn’t refuse her directly, giving her an opportunity. When she asked out once, I didn’t turn her down, and she really went through with it and drugged … That led to a marriage. After coming back, my senior sister naturally grew distant from … Later, when my senior sister went down the mountain for experience, she was ambushed and eventually died.”
“As for that junior sister… Later, we ended up married, given the circumstances. A man has to take responsibility, but after we got married, she changed completely, her previous gentleness swept away, and we fought daily. Eventually, we took separate paths, and she also managed to master the Ruthless Heavenly Sword; at first, I was unaware, I just thought everyone has their destiny, but later when I gained achievents in cultivation, I realized she was using as a cauldron for her cultivation, first entering into affection, then breaking it off, and finally cutting it entirely, mastering her sword.”
“And by the last step of her cultivation, she was supposed to kill because only with my death could her Heavenly Sword truly be complete.”
“Afterward, for the sake of our sect’s comradeship and our marriage, I avoided and dodged her as much as possible to minimize our encounters, but another chance occurrence made discover that she was behind the death of my senior sister… So I stopped avoiding her, and killed her myself. After killing her, my Cloud Peak Demonic Sword was instantly perfected!
In that mont, my cultivation surged, and I understood clearly; we both originated from the sa source, she was using as a cauldron, and she herself was also my cauldron. Moreover, she could have killed , but she hesitated at the final mont. That ti, I, misled by her intention and for the sake of my senior sister, didn’t hesitate. The complexities of affection, so hard to articulate, to explain, or to be questioned!”
Wan Li’s voice was soft yet filled with a sense of deathly stillness.
Dong Pingtian was startled.
He had never expected such a cruel and twisting narrative.
This Wan Li’s experiences, though briefly ntioned, could evoke countless heart-wrenching stories as an old hand in the martial world.
“Yesterday, the Abyss Master not only mimicked my senior sister but also my junior sister…”
Wan Li smiled miserably, “I knew in my heart that it was the Abyss Master’s illusion, but still, I hoped… it could happen once more.”
He chuckled, yet his face was full of reminiscence, “They say in cultivation there is no distinction of days and months, ti matters little, mories will fade, decades should make one forget everything. So why, after thousands of years, are my mories still so vivid? It turns out that being deeply etched in one’s heart isn’t just a taphor; it truly penetrates deep into the heart, unforgettable for a lifeti!”
“In ancient tis, there were many won of deep affection, and no lack of faithless n.”
Dong Pingtian sighed softly, “It’s not mories that are enduring, but rather guilt and regret; those are the true inner demons!”
“Everyone talks about ending affection, and whether one can let go… Ha, throughout history, how many people can genuinely let go?”
“Letting go, how difficult it is.”
He sighed and said, “It seems both of us have been ntally shaken and are no longer suited to guard here anymore. We should switch out quickly.”
The two simultaneously smiled bitterly.
Who would have thought that such old demons as themselves could still be ntally disturbed?
If it were the young disciples who ca, how could they possibly withstand it?
“You said that Sister Feng Ying, how did she manage to suppress this place for fifty years?”
Wan Li asked sowhat amazed.
“That… I do not know.”
That night, the two withdrew.
Lan Dan and Green Shadow, a couple, then took turns to guard.
But after Wan Li and Dong Pingtian withdrew, they still felt emotional turbulence, unable to control themselves.
They even felt an urgent desire to rush into Zichen Lake to find the Abyss Master and recreate the beautiful dream.
Both were greatly shocked; even the Ice Heart Technique could not calm their minds.
Helpless, they had no choice but to agree to go into seclusion.
They took turns keeping each other alert.
