Upon hearing the arrogance of the Ten Great Sects, the Heavenly Demon Sect not only refrained from refuting but also secretly stepped up their efforts.
Originally, they had planned to destroy just a branch location, but now they escalated it to destroying the headquarters, making it as grandiose as possible.
While they couldn't convince everyone, as long as most people believed, the Heavenly Demon Sect’s goals were achieved.
The Heavenly Demon Sect wasn't just focused on spreading propaganda. While doing so, they had already begun preparing for their plan to attack the Ten Great Sects.
A hidden turbulence brewed.
Peril was slowly drawing closer to the Ten Great Sects.
......
At the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
Su Luo got up from her recliner, stretched, and casually picked up a sword.
"Little Yu, come on, let’s spar."
Little Yu was puzzled as to why Su Luo suddenly wanted to spar with her today. In the past, no matter how much she pleaded, Su Luo would be too lazy to move.
But since the opportunity was rare, Little Yu was naturally very excited.
Su Luo was truly serious this time, so she was very strict in all aspects.
Little Yu was utterly overpowered, making her question what she had even learned before.
It severely shattered her confidence, but for Little Yu, she didn’t feel that way. She only felt joy.
The more they sparred, the more familiar she became with Su Luo’s style. This was something she had never experienced before.
Even though she was exhausted, Little Yu didn’t want to stop.
Su Luo wouldn’t let her push herself too far.
"Alright, Little Yu, that’s enough. You did great."
"Su Luo, you’re really strong."
"I’m average. It’s just the result of time and effort."
After Little Yu had a bit of a rest, Su Luo said, "Come on, let’s go for a stroll."
He thought that the days of him visiting the Seven Stars Sword Sect would be few and far between in the future.
"Alright."
Little Yu didn’t know why Su Luo suddenly wanted to wander around, but as long as they were together, it was good.
They arrived at Kaiyang Peak to witness the magnificent sight of ten thousand swords returning.
The so-called ten thousand swords returning was because Kaiyang Peak had a furnace for recycling broken swords.
Every month, on schedule, the broken swords flew together toward the furnace.
Even though the swords were broken, they still carried the honor of being used in battle. They were broken but deserved respect.
At the Yuheng Peak, they viewed the inscriptions left by the successive heads of the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
The inscriptions were filled with sword intent.
But after all, they were the sword intents of others. One could enjoy them or even learn a little, but in the end, one had to comprehend their own sword intent.
Su Luo explained this to Little Yu.
They revisited the Pure Martial Tower, and Su Luo teased Little Yu, saying those words had unexpectedly garnered him many enemies, especially from other sects.
......
In fact, these were places that weren’t particularly noteworthy, at least for Su Luo.
For Little Yu, they weren’t particularly impressive either. She wasn’t very interested in these things.
But because Su Luo was by her side, everything gained meaning.
It didn’t matter what the places were. The key was who you were with.
Little Yu stood on her tiptoes, her hands cupping Su Luo’s face, looking at him left and right, and tilting her head.
"Su Luo, you’re really strange today."
"Am I?"
"Yeah, is something bothering you?"
"I’m leaving."
Su Luo said this in the most casual tone, trying to make the situation light.
"Where? I want to go too."
"The Heavenly Demon Sect. You can’t come."
Yes, such a place wasn’t suitable for Little Yu.
"Why the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
"Part of my plan."
"Is it necessary?"
"Yes."
Su Luo looked down and saw that Little Yu was crying.
"Don’t cry, I’m not good at comforting people."
"But..."
"We’ll meet again someday."
"But we won’t get to see each other every day like this anymore."
Yes, even Su Luo felt a bit lonely at that thought.
"We’ll meet again someday."
But he could only comfort her with that.
My heart has long been as cold as a fish-gutting knife.
Even so, Su Luo still felt a twinge of sadness.
"Alright, don’t cry. Why not cherish the time we have now? I’ll agree to anything you want to do, just for now though."
"Sob... Take me with you..."
o(╥﹏╥)o
"Only that, no negotiation."
Little Yu clung to Su Luo and cried for a long time.
In the end, she made no special demands, only asking Su Luo to be by her side as always.
She was easily satisfied.
......
After accompanying Little Yu, Su Luo felt there was one more person he needed to say goodbye to.
There weren’t many people in the Seven Stars Sword Sect who treated Su Luo kindly.
"Why are you coming to find me on your own? How rare."
Li Siyi circled around Su Luo, examining him to see what was different today.
Because apart from the so-called storyline, Su Luo hadn’t initiated contact with her much.
Seeing Li Siyi, Su Luo also felt emotional reflection. This lifetime’s Li Siyi was truly different. In the past, she would have judged him as dirty by now, not chatting and laughing with him as she was now.
When did she start changing? Su Luo couldn’t remember.
"Am I? I used to find you often."
"Back then, you weren’t sincere."
"How could you say I wasn’t sincere? The whole Autumn Wind City knows I love you."
"And now?"
"Haha..." Su Luo laughed it off, trying to brush it aside.
"Tsk." Li Siyi rolled her eyes, seemingly knowing it was the truth, but didn’t pursue it. She asked, "So, what do you want?"
"Nothing, just saying goodbye in advance."
"Goodbye? Why?"
"It’s just a farewell. I’m worried you’ll want to kill me later."
Li Siyi wasn’t like Little Yu.
Li Siyi had her own worldview and values. If she knew I was joining the Heavenly Demon Sect, she’d probably be furious.
Anyone with a bit of reason would despise the actions of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"No, I won’t." Li Siyi said firmly, half-jokingly.
"You’re so sure, you’ll regret it."
"Then we’ll see if I regret it or not."
Su Luo shook his head. It was only at this moment she could be stubborn, but when the time came, she might very well want to kill him.
Su Luo didn’t dwell on this topic and continued.
"Whatever. We’ll see about regrets later. I’ll give you a compensation gift in advance. Is there anything you want me to do? Consider it my farewell gift."
"Anything? That’s rare for you to be so generous."
"Then forget it, your look of wanting to hit the jackpot scares me."
"Don’t, how about giving me your family heirloom? The Starfall Jade Bracelet."
"Why do you want this? I offered it to you before and you didn’t take it."
"That was then, now I want it."
"Too late. It was given to Little Yu by my father."
But at this moment, mentioning the Starfall Jade Bracelet, Su Luo couldn’t help but think of how Li Siyi seemed to have taken several of Lin Xuan’s fortunes away in the past.
Wait, could she possibly have the Lunar Reflection Pendant as well?
Unlikely.
"What?!" Li Siyi was astonished. "When was that?"
"In Autumn Wind City."
"Eeeeck." Li Siyi made a weird noise, almost like she wanted to cry.
She had originally wanted to have the Starfall Jade Bracelet officially passed from Su Luo to her. To receive it from Lin Xuan was completely different in meaning.
Thinking back to when the bracelet was first used as an engagement token.
But now it was in Little Yu’s possession, gifted as an heirloom, accompanied by great significance as it was given by Su Luo’s father.
No, it wouldn’t count if Su Luo harbored no such intentions.
Now that Su Luo’s focus was solely on the storyline, how could he think about this matter?
Li Siyi didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
Because in this way, her situation was similar to Little Yu’s.
Li Siyi felt so confused. Maybe she shouldn’t have asked in the first place.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
