Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 562 Giving You a Chance to Kill the Demon God

As the saying goes: Never let any wolf king out of your sight, or misfortune will follow.

This was said by Xue Tong, who saw Xue Lan being dragged away by Ji Jinjin.

The girl's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke to Ji Jinjin.

"Is she about to be executed? Would you allow me to say a few words to the prisoner?"

Before Ji Jinjin could respond, Xue Lan, the "prisoner," spoke first, her tone tinged with reproach:

"How can you talk like that? This is just a minor squabble between fellow disciples. Kids shouldn't spout nonsense!"

Xue Tong looked at Xue Lan's somewhat tattered robe, the charred holes still bearing traces of the lingering power of lightning.

Xue Tong looked into Xue Lan's eyes and transmitted her voice:

"I never imagined in my entire life that she would strike you with her own lightning."

The girl spoke to Xue Lan in an icy tone:

You must have made her very angry.

Xue Lan could not refute, and fell into a long silence with her head down.

Ji Jinjin couldn't help but chuckle softly, releasing Xue Lan's wrist and bowing to Master Shen Suan together with Zhu He:

"Disciple greets Uncle Master."

The shrewd old man also noticed Xue Lan's disheveled appearance, and with a slight smile, he asked Ji Jinjin:

"What did your senior sister do to offend you?"

Ji Jinjin glanced at Xue Lan and spoke coldly:

"Senior sister did nothing to displease auntie; she was only trying to do what was best for auntie."

Xue Lan dared not speak, and Zhu He inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.

"You, you."

Shen Suanzhen stepped forward and touched Xue Lan's forehead.

"If you don't keep an eye on them for a moment, they'll start causing trouble."

Xue Lan lowered her head with some guilt.

Xue Tong nodded in agreement and gave Shen Suan Zhenren a thumbs up.

He truly deserves to be one of the few people who can suppress Xue Lan.

After criticizing Xue Lan, Shen Suanzhen looked at Ji Jinjin again: "Where are you taking her now?"

Ji Jinjin glanced at Xue Lan and answered truthfully:

"I'm worried that something might be wrong with my senior sister's health, so I'm planning to take her to see Master Xuanji. Oh, and Uncle-Master..."

The woman's phoenix eyes were filled with anticipation:

"Did my senior sister take the normal route this time?"

At first, Shen Suan Zhenren didn't understand Ji Jinjin's meaning. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and spoke:

"Of course, your sect leader and master both know that..."

Shen Suanzhen turned his head slightly and saw Xue Lan winking at him.

They seem to have a strong will to survive.

Then Master Shen Suan coughed lightly and said to Ji Jinjin, "I just checked and Lanlan's health seems to be fine, so I won't trouble Uncle Xuanji."

Xue Lan was overjoyed and almost kowtowed to her senior uncle on the spot, but before her knees could buckle, she heard the malicious voice of the Calculating Master:

"She said the other day that she has been thinking about her Grandmaster Qingyin. Why don't you take her to see her?"

Xue Lan's face turned deathly pale. The woman looked at Shen Suan Zhenren with disbelief on her face.

When did her senior uncle become like this?

When Ji Jinjin dragged her into the secret realm below Qingshuitai, Xue Lan saw the bright smiling faces of Shen Suan Zhenren and Xue Tong.

Xue Lan: I hate you all!

Unfortunately, Lord Wolf's hatred was short-lived, lasting only a few breaths.

It abruptly ended when they met Qingyin Daojun.

Currently, only Daoist Qingyin and Daoist Zhuyun are present in the secret realm below Qingshui Terrace. Ji Jinjin, carrying Xue Lan, stepped forward and greeted them with a smile:

"Disciple greets Grandmaster and Senior Uncle."

“My senior sister said she missed you two very much and insisted that I bring you over.”

Daoist Qingyin, wearing a crimson lotus crown, smiled faintly at the person hiding behind Ji Jinjin:

"Did she really come of her own volition?"

Ji Jinjin reached out and pulled Xue Lan out from behind her:

"Definitely."

Xue Lan gave Qingyin Daojun a strange, stiff smile:

"I truly miss my master..."

"How about I sing you a song?"

The entire secret realm fell silent. Daoist Zhuyun looked at Xue Lan and spoke speechlessly:

"J."

Xue Lan quickly replied, "Okay!"

Qingyin Daojun looked at Xue Lan. Although she still had the same joking and teasing demeanor, and called her "Grandmaster" with a smile, the chaotic aura around her no longer contained the Daoist aura of the Xuanhuang Sect.

The white-robed Daoist slowly rose and walked to Xue Lan, raising his hand and pointing a finger at Xue Lan's brow. Wisps of spiritual energy circulated through Xue Lan's meridians.

"You reached the Nascent Soul stage rather quickly."

Xue Lan looked up at Daoist Qingyin and gave him a gentle smile: "After all, I am now the head of the Wan Gong Fang. It is a bit unreasonable for my cultivation to remain so low."

After Qingyin Daojun's spiritual energy circulated through Xue Lan's body and found no problems, he slowly spoke:

"I knew your cultivation level was not low, so why has it stagnated?"

"It turns out he's been hiding his true abilities all along."

"No, no!" Xue Lan waved her hand at Qingyin Daojun;

"I'm just a coward."

After all, he had offended many people in his previous life, so he had no choice but to keep a low profile.

If Xue Tong knew what she was thinking, she would definitely poke the Wolf King's forehead and loudly question him: "You have the nerve to say that, 'Keep your tail between your legs'!"

Daoist Qingyin shared the same thought, and as he withdrew his hand, he gently flicked Xue Lan's brow.

"nonsense."

The white-robed Daoist turned and walked back to his seat, then looked at Xue Lan and spoke:

"Dao Xuan has already told me the purpose of your trip to the desolate region."

Xue Lan touched her brow, then smiled and asked, "Does Grandmaster agree?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Qingyin smiled gently and spoke softly:

"Didn't you and your master tell you to go? When did it become my place to speak?"

Xue Lan could tell from the woman's expression that Daoist Qingyin had already guessed she was talking nonsense, so Lord Wolf spoke honestly:

"The story about Wei and Master was made up to deceive Master Uncle."

Qingyin Daojun smiled without saying a word, while Ji Jinjin, who was following behind Xue Lan, pinched the soft flesh on the man's waist:

"You've really got guts, daring to even deceive the headmaster?"

Xue Lan winced in pain, but secretly reached out and grabbed Ji Jinjin's wrist, smiling brightly:

"Not only that, I dare to deceive Heaven!"

Upon hearing Xue Lan's words, Qingyin Daojun, who was sitting above, couldn't help but smile gently:

If everything really goes according to Xue Lan's plan, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's deceiving the heavens.

The woman looked at Xue Lan and spoke gently, a rare occurrence for her:

"I heard you have a demon at the Nascent Soul stage. Why didn't you bring it with you?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Jinjin's pupils shrank sharply, and the woman looked at Xue Lan with disbelief in her eyes.

The woman transmitted her voice to Xue Lan: "So it really is your inner demon?"

Xue Lan did not answer Ji Jinjin's question, but looked at Qingyin Daojun and spoke:

"They stayed in front of Duanshui Pass to kill the demons."

"Kill demons?"

Daoist Qingyin asked with some curiosity:

"Your inner demon actually kills demons?"

Xue Lan thought to herself, "What's wrong with killing demons? They still listen to me."

However, Xue Lan only thought these words in her heart; outwardly, she still bowed respectfully and replied:

“The disciple’s inner demons are born from obsessions, and they can be slain.”

"I'm a little curious about what your obsession is?" Qingyin Daojun slowly spoke.

Xue Lan met her gentle and calm eyes, enunciating each word clearly and deliberately:

"Kill the Demon God."

The inner demon that was always at odds with her and seemed somewhat insane was born with the obsession of killing demons.

Kill the demon god before all the spirits of the grottoes in Jinyue Lake are sacrificed.

Or perhaps we could kill the demon god a thousand years from now.

Her hatred was as deep as Xue Lan's, hidden beneath the unpredictable and rampant exterior of her inner demons, known only to Xue Lan.

Xue Lan thought to herself that perhaps she needed to give an answer to her inner demons, and also to the part of herself filled with hatred.

"That's a good obsession." Daoist Qingyin nodded slightly, then asked again;

"You couldn't have come all this way to Duanshui Pass just to see me, could you?"

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Grandmaster." Xue Lan smiled and took out a sandalwood box from her sleeve:

"I came to Duanshui Pass this time for two reasons. First, I brought some blueprints for defensive magical artifacts to reinforce the pass. Second, I wanted to take Zhuhe to the East Sea."

"Taking my senior brother to the East Sea?"

Qingyin Daojun remained silent, but Ji Jinjin, who had already walked to Xue Lan's side, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right!” Xue Lan nodded slightly to Ji Jinjin, then bowed again to Daoist Qingyin.

"Xue Lan wants to take Zhu He to the East Sea and use the Golden Crow Fire to completely solve Zhu He's hidden spiritual root problem."

"It's good to be able to solve the problem of hidden spiritual roots, but Zhu He is still under the supervision of that Min family girl from the Jiangyun Sect. If you want to take him to the East Sea, you'll probably have to get past this first."

Xue Lan smiled and said, "I will handle this matter myself."

Given her relationship with Min Shang, taking Zhu He to the East China Sea would be no problem at all.

After all, she wasn't taking Zhu He to a crowded place. Not to mention that Zhu He wasn't that easy to blow up, even if he were, it would be within the territory of the demons.

Daoist Qingyin could tell from Xue Lan's expression that this person was up to no good again; her eyes were narrowed like a small animal's. The woman smiled and waved her hand:

"Alright, it's clear you didn't really come to see me. Go and do your own thing."

"what?"

Xue Lan chuckled awkwardly and asked, "Grandmaster, you really won't listen to me sing?"

Xue Lan and Ji Jinjin were eventually kicked out by Daoist Zhuyun.

Xue Lan patted the dust off her clothes, her tone tinged with grievance:

"Junior sister, do you think it's possible that no one likes me in my entire life?"

Ji Jinjin comforted Xue Lan: "No, no, Le Xiu will like you."

"What if I sing?" Xue Lan's eyes were full of anticipation.

"You'd get beaten to death."

Xue Lan could no longer laugh; the woman wore a bitter expression, looking utterly hopeless.

"Could you go and settle my master and the others in for me? I'm going to find the craftsmen at Duanshui Pass now and give them the blueprints."

Ji Jinjin smiled and agreed, watching Xue Lan walk with her head down towards the weapon-refining cave behind the Clear Water Platform.

Just as Xue Lan was about to reach the weapon-refining cave, she suddenly heard the voice of her inner demon, who seemed to have a headache:

"Xue Tong is asking me what you did, and whether I should embellish it?"

"Tell the truth, and embellish it a bit." Xue Lan's tone was full of sarcasm:

"Do you understand how you've beautified it?"

"Good, good, good!" The inner demon gritted his teeth and said "good" three times in a row, then quickly spoke to Xue Tong, who was dressed in a green dress:

"She just got beaten up by Ji Jinjin while pretending to be a demon."

"what?"

Xue Tong's head was full of question marks, and his tone was quite puzzled:

"When did she develop this hobby?"

"Why?"

Xue Lan had a bad feeling, and sure enough, the next moment she heard the sinister voice of her inner demon:

“She was afraid that I would control her later, and Ji Jinjin couldn’t bear to do that…”

"Alright, shut up! I have something to say to you!"

Lord Wolf King interrupted the inner demon's truth with a scream, his voice trembling:

"Could you tell me about my difficulties and struggles?"

"You said you wouldn't beautify it, but I don't understand how to beautify it!"

The inner demon laughed gleefully, then spoke softly:

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Kill the Demon God!"

Xue Lan's firm and solemn voice rang in the mind of the inner demon.

The inner demon narrowed its icy blue almond-shaped eyes slightly and lay down directly on the light cloud:

"What's wrong? Is your grandmaster a demon god?"

"Can you beat them by yourself? Do you need my help?"

The Wolf King, who had previously been quick to retort, didn't rush to reply this time. The inner demon heard her inhale and felt inexplicably uneasy.

"What's wrong? It really is a demon!"

"I'll give you a chance." Xue Lan's voice was steady and calm:

"I'm giving you a chance to settle your hatred: go and kill the demon god yourself."

The inner demon's pupils suddenly contracted.

The woman suddenly stood up from the light cloud and gestured for Xue Tong beside her to be quiet:

"Are you crazy? If you're being held hostage, just blink."

However, Xue Lan was neither kidnapped nor went mad.

On the contrary, she was more lucid than at any other time before.

"Isn't this your obsession?"

"Born at the time of the destruction of Jin Yue Lake," Xue Lan said softly, as if lifting a thin veil that had long been covered in dust.

"A determination to complete even if it costs me everything, even if it means turning to ashes and becoming disconnected from the entire Yuanming Realm."

The inner demon's breathing became somewhat heavy. The woman transformed into a streak of light and flew over two hundred miles away before continuing her conversation with Xue Lan:

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You don't know?" Xue Lan asked with a smile.

"You always discourage me from making too many changes or interfering too much, and you scoff at my plan to rebuild the Yuanming Realm. Isn't that because of my past failure to intervene at Jinyue Lake?"

"I'll cut to the chase and give you that chance now!"

"When the Yuanming Realm is rebuilt, I will give you a chance to kill the Demon God."

Xue Lan spoke to her inner demon with a firmness she had never heard before:

"I will help you eliminate your obsessions and slay the evil spirits."

"You helped me forge the boundary into a vessel, and ascend to the realm of the Lord."

Xue Lan's offer was very tempting, but the inner demon still couldn't quite believe it. The woman looked at the gloomy sky in the distance and sighed as she spoke:

"What did your grandmaster say that made you suddenly realize you want me to do what I want to do?"

"Because I've figured it out!" Xue Lan smiled gently, took a few steps forward, and knocked on the door of the weapon-refining cave.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"I need to give an explanation to that vengeful version of myself."

The brand-new Yuanming Realm is left to the widows, and the demon god's wretched life is sacrificed to the souls that never return.

Not one can be missing.
