Chapter 234: Ye Xuan Has Probably Fallen into the Demonic Path
Ye Xuan’s sins were finally about to be revealed to the world.
‘Phew... Wu Simai’s death would certainly drive someone as emotional as Ye Xuan to seek revenge in his anger.’
At this moment, Mo Qingshang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Ye Xuan was the villain. He was supposed to be the one with endless glory, exposing the villain’s crimes.
But now, he had been watching Ye Xuan’s emotional drama with the people of this world for so long? Just thinking about it made him angry–!!! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even though Ye Xuan’s story always started sweet and ended bitter, for Mo Qingshang, every time Ye Xuan had various entanglements with those beauties, it only made him more envious.
Once Ye Xuan’s crimes are finally revealed, it would be the moment for Mo Qingshang to lead everyone to condemn Ye Xuan. Then, he could rise to power, wield the Divine Emperor Sword, and control this world.
The thought of such a future made him happy.
At this moment, many people believed they had figured everything out. In their view, Wu Simai’s death must have been the trigger for Ye Xuan to ignite the underground spring and destroy Nanzhao.
Although Ye Xuan was indeed pitiful, it was not a reason to destroy the Nanzhao Kingdom. If Ye Xuan destroyed an entire Nanzhao Kingdom just because of this, not only the people of Nanzhao but also the righteous cultivators of the world would not forgive him.
As long as Ye Xuan was condemned with a crime, he was doomed to die. Thinking of this, Mo Qingshang glanced at Ye Xuan and sneered secretly.
This is just the beginning. After all, he was the protagonist, and the climax of condemning Ye Xuan was his role to play. Otherwise, even if he got the Divine Emperor Sword, the world might not accept him.
At this moment, everyone was quietly watching the scene, wanting to see how Ye Xuan would retaliate against Nanzhao.
————
At this moment, Wu Simai’s remnant soul was quietly standing behind Ye Xuan, knowing he must be very angry now. She had never seen Ye Xuan clench his fists so tightly, forcibly suppressing his anger.
“Brother Xuan... I violated the clan rules, this is my deserved punishment. Please don’t vent your anger on Nanzhao,” she said to Ye Xuan’s back. “Even in death, reduced to a remnant soul, I will always stay by your side...”
At this moment, Ye Xuan just stood there quietly, holding his face with his hand, his tightly bitten lips showing his inner turmoil. Even the most determined person would inevitably show sorrow at this moment.
Seeing his loved one return only as a remnant soul, anyone would feel angry. Those who hurt Wu Simai, Ye Xuan naturally did not want to forgive. However, at this moment, Ye Xuan’s expression was not just anger and sorrow but also a hint of... strangeness.
For eternity, destined for desolation, lovelessness, kinlessness. Scenes of being punished by the Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Realm seemed to flash in his mind.
“The ones you love will always leave you, the ones you trust will always betray you. This is your destiny–!”
Zhugu’s reminder at Buzhou Mountain seemed to resurface at this moment.
“In ancient times... the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar... the Dragon Princess... Shuang’er...”
He tightly grasped his face as if trying to stop the endless painful memories flooding his mind.
However, no matter what he did, those memories kept surfacing in his mind uncontrollably. Even the remnant soul of Wu Simai behind him could no longer catch his attention.
————
“Hiss...”
“It seems Ye Xuan... is recalling past events.”
“It must be. He is destined for lovelessness and kinlessness for eternity. This life, he has already tasted the despair of losing a loved one. His memories should have returned.”
“From ancient times to now, countless lifetimes, how many times has Ye Xuan experienced the loss of loved ones...”
“These memories flood his mind life after life, each life intensifying his pain.”
“I can imagine how much pain and despair Ye Xuan is feeling right now.”
Seeing Ye Xuan immersed in past memories and falling into confusion, everyone knew that Ye Xuan’s situation was dire.
“With hatred accumulated over lifetimes, unable to find someone to take revenge on, Ye Xuan will surely vent all his resentment on Nanzhao–!!”
The surrounding people discussed, while the Dragon Princess noticed only the deep-seated despair and pain in Ye Xuan’s eyes when he mentioned her name. No matter how much time had passed, Ye Xuan’s love for her would surely not disappear.
Remembering everything now, that deep love turned into endless despair and hatred. In such circumstances, it was not impossible for Ye Xuan to become a Shura.
For an ordinary person, destroying a country would naturally be difficult, but Ye Xuan, having experienced countless reincarnations since primordial times, probably knew every secret of the world.
No one knew what means Ye Xuan had mastered after awakening his memories. Perhaps this was why Ye Xuan, with his power alone, left the entire cultivation world helpless later on.
————-
Finally, Ye Xuan removed his hand from his face, his eyes showing a trace of evil. He turned to look at Wu Simai, his eyes strange.
“Brother Xuan, what... what are you going to do?!!” Facing Ye Xuan’s gaze, Wu Simai couldn’t help but feel terrified. She had never seen such a frightening expression on Ye Xuan’s face.
“Heh.” Ye Xuan sneered and said, “What am I going to do? What else can I do? What I lost, since I can never get it back, I can only make those who took it from me pay the price–!!!”
“Brother Xuan, do you intend to become an enemy of Nanzhao?!!” Wu Simai asked Ye Xuan.
“Now that you’re dead, Nanzhao’s matters have nothing to do with you,” Ye Xuan said. “From now on, stay by my side and witness everything I am going to do–!”
“Brother Xuan, please, don’t–!!” Wu Simai blocked Ye Xuan’s way, trying to stop him.
However, Ye Xuan just raised his hand and collected Wu Simai’s remnant soul. Then, Ye Xuan’s gaze turned towards the direction of Nanzhao, his eyes filled with an ancient evil never seen before.
————
Even the people outside the scene, seeing Ye Xuan’s gaze in the image, were startled. The once innocent youth had probably fallen into the demonic path after endless torment.
“No wonder... my husband can even control his inner demons.”
Yu Ling’er’s eyes showed some pity as she looked at Ye Xuan. No matter who it was, after suffering for countless eons, their mindset would probably no longer be something others could control.
Even the inner demons were no exception. Others feared Ye Xuan, but she only pitied him. If he hadn’t experienced unimaginable pain, how could Ye Xuan have become what he was now?!
For eternity, loveless and kinless... Such a punishment was too heavy for Ye Xuan. This was not Ye Xuan’s fault–!!!
Moreover, even if it were Ye Xuan’s fault, Yu Ling’er had already decided she would stay with Ye Xuan through thick and thin. No matter what excessive things Ye Xuan did, she would stand by his side, living and dying with him.
Qingxue also understood Ye Xuan’s situation. She didn’t know when Ye Xuan had regained his memories after meeting her, but she understood that Ye Xuan had always been sincere with her from the beginning.
That was enough. Fate was cruel, arranging for Ye Xuan to be betrayed. Even if the world sought revenge against Ye Xuan, she would steadfastly protect him until the end.
Hu Qianzao secretly ordered Hu Lan, “Senior Hu Lan, no matter what choices you make in the future, I want you to stand by Ye Xuan’s side now. Even if I die, Ye Xuan must not die.”
“Yes.” Hu Lan nodded. Her gaze turned to her future self, showing some hesitation.
Did her future self misunderstand Ye Xuan, or was she about to make a decision she would regret in the future?! Unlike other women who blindly believed in Ye Xuan, she had no emotional bond with him.
Although she believed Ye Xuan was sincere, the thought of Ye Xuan reincarnating countless times since primordial times, enduring torment, regaining his memories each time, made her heart feel fearful.
No matter what kind of person Ye Xuan originally was, after regaining his memories, he was someone who had been tormented for eons. Who could guarantee that he could still maintain his original heart?
“Dragon Princess, I hope you discern right from wrong,” Mo Qingshang reminded the Dragon Princess, “Otherwise, the Donghai Dragon King might still die at Ye Xuan’s hands.”
“You don’t want the tragedy to repeat, do you? No matter how deep your bond with Ye Xuan was in the past, he is no longer the Ye Xuan of the past.”
“Hmph, no need for your reminder.” The Dragon Princess snorted coldly.
The depth of her past feelings for Ye Xuan was evident, even to the point of life and death. But now, in her mind, she constantly remembered that Ye Xuan would kill the Donghai Dragon King.
