Jianghai Hotel.
Mo Tianyun, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, was lying on a sofa, receiving treatment from his subordinates for his injuries.
"Ah... it hurts so much!!!"
"This is absolutely humiliating!"
"That young master of the Gu Family actually beat me up in front of so many people!"
"Without the Gu Family, what kind of person would he even be?!"
Mo Tianyun's eyes burned with rage as he clenched his teeth and roared.
Elder Mo, standing nearby, also felt that the Gu Family had disrespected them too much. However, this was their territory.
Not to mention, the Gu Family had the backing of the Su Family and the Shangguan Family.
Thus, he could only console him, "Young Master, please calm down. This is Jianghai, and the Gu Family holds absolute power here as the local authority."
"On top of that, they have Su Murong from the Su Family supporting them. Our Heavenly Demon Sect... we simply can't touch them!"
Hearing this, Mo Tianyun's face darkened with resentment. He clenched his fists in frustration.
"Get out of here! All of you, stop bothering me!"
He irritably shouted at the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples who were tending to his wounds.
Why is everyone so timid and cautious?
Even his master, back in the day, had participated in the siege against the Night Organization but had let the Leng Family go out of pity. Mo Tianyun found this utterly ridiculous.
What kind of demonic sect are we if we're trying to whitewash ourselves and go legit?
What a joke. Hah, it's all because my master has grown old and indecisive.
And Elder Mo, too. He's supposed to be my protector, but he's completely useless.
His strength is only at the peak of the Xiantian realm. Why didn't my master assign me an expert at the Grandmaster level?
Besides, even if Elder Mo can't defeat a Grandmaster, can't he at least take on that young master of the Gu Family?
As the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect and a rising star of the demonic path, Mo Tianyun naturally couldn't swallow this insult.
With a cold glare, he turned to Elder Mo and said, "Elder Mo, I refuse to believe that the young master of the Gu Family will stay in Jianghai forever!"
"Once he leaves Jianghai, we'll kill him and return to the ancient martial world!"
"That's where our Heavenly Demon Sect truly dominates!"
Elder Mo hesitated, but seeing the icy determination in his young master's eyes, he thought of the future when Mo Tianyun would ascend to the position of sect leader.
Reluctantly, Elder Mo agreed to pacify him for now. "Understood, Young Master."
Hearing this, Mo Tianyun finally smiled with satisfaction. He nodded and said, "Elder Mo, don't worry. The position of sect leader will be mine."
"When the time comes, I'll promote you to be my right-hand man. You won't have to be some useless protector anymore."
Elder Mo's heart stirred at these words. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Young Mast—"
Before he could finish, the world seemed to freeze for a brief moment before snapping back into motion.
Boom!!!!
Splatter!!!
A warm sensation spread across Mo Tianyun's face.
"Huh...?"
His pupils contracted as he let out a confused sound.
In front of him, Elder Mo's head exploded like a watermelon, blood and flesh splattering across the room.
Thud!
The lifeless body collapsed at Mo Tianyun's feet.
"Ah!!! Elder Mo is dead!!"
"Help!!"
The disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect screamed in terror.
Mo Tianyun ignored the panicked cries of his subordinates. His mind was in chaos.
Wha... what just happened?
What's going on?
Thud! Thud!
Mo Tianyun's face turned pale as he stared at the scene before him. His breathing became rapid, and his heart pounded as if it might stop at any moment.
Why did Elder Mo just die in front of me?
Hey! What's happening?
A chilling dread crept into Mo Tianyun's heart. He felt his limbs grow stiff with fear.
The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly eerie and oppressive.
Clenching his teeth, he shouted in a trembling voice, "G-guards!"
As soon as the words left his mouth—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Young Master! Ahhh!"
"Young Master, save us!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, the heads of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples exploded, blood and mist filling the room.
Only then did Mo Tianyun realize—he was under attack!!
Who was it?!
Who could it be?!
Mo Tianyun's face was ashen. The carnage around him shattered any will to resist.
Even Elder Mo had been killed without a fight. Could the enemy be a Grandmaster?!
"Who are you?! Who the hell are you?!"
"Show yourself!"
"Can someone tell me what's going on?!"
Mo Tianyun collapsed onto the sofa, trembling uncontrollably as he screamed at the empty room.
The next second, a timid yet excited voice whispered behind him.
At the same time, a scalpel pressed against his throat from behind.
"U-um... please stop shouting... it makes me nervous..."
"My superior... my superior said to let you catch your breath first..."
"But you're so loud... hehe... what if I accidentally cut you here... would you scream even louder...?"
Thud! Thud!
Mo Tianyun's heart felt like it was being squeezed as he listened to this voice, which sounded like the whisper of death itself.
When did they get behind me? What kind of power is this? Why have I never heard of it before?
Superior? Who is this superior?
This bizarre ability... could it be... is it possibly...?!
Just as this thought crossed his mind—
Tap, tap, tap.
The sound of footsteps treading through blood slowly approached Mo Tianyun.
The eerie black scalpel pressed against his throat, leaving him too terrified to move.
Even if he wanted to, he was too paralyzed with fear to do anything.
The next moment, a figure appeared in Mo Tianyun's line of sight.
The person wore a long black trench coat, its hem dragging through the pool of blood, leaving a trail as if they had emerged from the depths of hell.
A black hood obscured their face, making it impossible for Mo Tianyun to see their features.
They were tall and imposing, exuding an overwhelming aura of malice and oppression that sent shivers down Mo Tianyun's spine.
As he looked at this figure, his mind instantly recalled the description of the Night King that his master had once told him about.
Coupled with the rumors that the Night King had returned for revenge, Mo Tianyun broke down and begged for mercy.
"Wait! You're the Night King, aren't you?!"
"Please! I beg you, don't kill me! I'll leave right now! I'll quit the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
"I swear I'll never have anything to do with them again!"
At this moment, Mo Tianyun had no will to resist. All he wanted was to survive.
In response, Gu Yan looked down at Mo Tianyun with disdain and spoke softly, "How pathetic and laughable."
"You know..."
Gu Yan reached out toward him. Buzz!
A sharp claw materialized at his fingertips, and he slowly pressed it against Mo Tianyun's forehead.
With a chilling smile, he uttered the last words Mo Tianyun would ever hear: "I much preferred the arrogant version of you from before."
With that—
Boom!!!
Mo Tianyun's mind went blank. The meaning of those words hit him like a thunderbolt.
He trembled violently, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Gu Yan.
They had all been deceived!!
Because... the Night King... was none other than... Gu Yan, the young master of the Gu Family!!!
It's over... everything is over...
Crunch! Crunch!
The claws swiftly consumed Mo Tianyun, devouring his consciousness along with his body.
In the next moment—
Swish! Swish!
Countless claw-like cells spread throughout the room.
Like a cleanup crew, they devoured every trace of flesh, blood, and even microorganisms, leaving the room spotless and odorless.
All evidence had vanished without a trace.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
