Who Exactly Is the Inheritor of the Soul-Devouring Demon Art

Su Bailian is the inheritor of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Art?

How is that possible?!

"Chu Yu!! Have you lost your mind?!"

Wang Yan and the Devouring Sky Spirit Ox were the first to react. Without hesitation, both charged toward Chu Yu.

"Chu Yu!! Stop this at once!!"

Wang Yan roared, his body erupting with earthen-yellow light, resembling a war god descending from the heavens. His broadsword, infused with immense force, slashed straight at Chu Yu.

Not to be outdone, the Devouring Sky Spirit Ox surged with azure energy, its hooves kicking up dust as it barreled toward Chu Yu with a furious bellow, "Moo!!"

Chu Yu, frantic, sidestepped the ox's charge and raised her sword to block Wang Yan's strike.

A deafening clang rang out as sparks flew from the clash of metal.

The battle reached a stalemate.

Su Bailian, trembling, quickly hid behind the two, whimpering, "Brother Wang Yan, Ox Ox, save me! Sister Chu Yu must have misunderstood me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Yu's expression darkened. Gnashing her teeth, she snapped, "Shut your mouth, you witch!"

"Stop pretending!"

"Eek—!" Su Bailian paled in fright.

Chu Yu finally understood.

This had to be the truth.

Why had everyone in her past life sided with Su Bailian?

Was it because she was cute?

No!

That was completely wrong!

If it came to charm or cuteness,

how could she, Chu Yu, lose to some lowly wench from the mortal world?

There was only one answer—

Su Bailian... was the inheritor of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Art, capable of bewitching minds!!!

With this realization, she glared at Wang Yan and shouted, "Second Brother, step aside!"

"Su Bailian is the inheritor of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Art! She’s already killed three disciples of the Qingyan Sect! If you keep protecting her, you’re siding with a demonic cultivator!"

Wang Yan frowned deeply but didn’t relent. Glancing back at the pitiful Su Bailian, he couldn’t bring himself to believe Chu Yu’s words.

"Chu Yu," he said gravely, "you can’t take a life based on your word alone. This is too reckless!"

"Today, we will protect Su Bailian!"

The Devouring Sky Spirit Ox stomped its hoof in agreement: "Moo!!"

Chu Yu’s heart turned to ice.

After Su Bailian’s arrival, even her own sworn brother no longer trusted her.

As she fended off Wang Yan and the ox’s attacks, she yelled, "I saw it with my own eyes! How could it be false?"

"In the stone chamber, Su Bailian drained the spiritual energy of two Qingyan Sect disciples right in front of me and another masked man!"

"Ye Qun and another Qingyan Sect disciple are also missing!"

"This is clearly the work of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Art!"

The Devouring Sky Spirit Ox snorted and suddenly lunged, its massive horns aimed at Chu Yu: "Moo!!"

Chu Yu’s eyes flashed with irritation.

Elder Gong’s spirit ox was a tough opponent. With both Wang Yan and the ox under Su Bailian’s spell, killing the witch would be difficult.

Her heart sank, but her movements remained agile. Dodging like a swallow, she brandished her gleaming sword. "You fools! Once she drains your spiritual energy, it’ll be too late for regrets!"

The three clashed fiercely, their battle growing more intense. The surrounding air seemed to ignite from the violent spiritual fluctuations, and the ground was littered with craters from their exchanges.

The onlookers watched in shock.

Su Bailian, a demonic inheritor?

Wasn’t that too outrageous?

After all... she looked like such a delicate girl.

Meanwhile, Su Bailian swallowed hard and suddenly realized what to do.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she cried out, "Stop! Please stop fighting!"

"I don’t know anything about this demonic art Sister Chu Yu is talking about!"

"I got separated from Brother Ye Qun and the others at the left passage and ended up outside!"

"So I have no idea what happened!"

"Sister Chu Yu—"

"Shut up!"

Before she could finish, Chu Yu cut her off. "Don’t you dare make excuses!"

Seizing an opening, she slashed a sword beam toward Su Bailian. "Today, you die!"

"!!!"

Su Bailian’s face drained of color. What the hell? Why is she still trying to kill me?!

You’re so unreasonable!

Crap!

Wang Yan’s eyes widened in alarm as he tried to shield Su Bailian, but he was too slow to intercept the attack.

The Devouring Sky Spirit Ox let out a furious roar: "Moo!!"

In the next instant, a talisman on Su Bailian—given to her by Elder Gong—flared with light. The ox vanished from its spot and reappeared in front of the talisman.

Squelch!!

"Moo!"

Chu Yu’s sword beam sliced off the ox’s thick tail.

Thud!

The spirit ox collapsed.

Su Bailian’s eyes reddened as she threw herself onto the ox, wailing, "Ox Ox!!"

"Don’t die!!"

The Devouring Sky Spirit Ox gave her a reassuring look. "Moo..."

Wang Yan sighed in relief.

The ox’s body was resilient—even a severed tail could regrow.

Just as Chu Yu gritted her teeth and prepared to strike again—

Another scream echoed from afar.

"Help!! Someone help!!"

"The inheritor of the Soul-Devouring Demonic Art!! He’s here!!"

Another inheritor?!

Chu Yu froze.

Everyone turned toward the source.

A disheveled man, limping and covered in dirt, stumbled toward them in terror. "Save me!!"

"Our elders and senior brothers... they’re all dead!!"

"I’m the only one who escaped!"

Wang Yan frowned and turned to Chu Yu. "Chu Yu, are you sure the inheritor you saw..."

He pointed at the tearful Su Bailian. "...is her?"

Chu Yu’s brow furrowed as she fell silent.

Logically, there should only be one inheritor.

So what was this new development?

Whoosh!

The Sword Immortal and Zen Master, still unable to break the formation, floated over.

They addressed the newcomer, "Young friend, is the inheritor you speak of..."

They gestured at Su Bailian. "...this one?"

The man turned and shook his head frantically, clutching his head in fear. "No!"

"It was a man with frostbite-like scars on his face!"

"He... he called himself Ye Qun!!"

Ye Qun!!

Boom!

Chu Yu’s mind blanked.

How was Ye Qun involved now?

Then who was the one she saw?

Just as she was puzzling over this—

"Fellow Daoist Chu."

A voice called out to her.

Chu Yu turned.

The masked man—who had claimed to be injured and stayed behind instead of joining her pursuit—approached.

In his hand was a glowing luminous stone and a Qingyan Sect token.

He looked at her gravely. "I checked the left passage Ye Qun mentioned."

"But there were two branching paths there."

"At one of the forks in the path, I found Li Yue's token and Ye Qun's luminescent stone."

"There were two pools of black blood."

!!!!!

Chu Yu froze.

What in the world... was going on?
