I Will Kill You with My Own Hands

After everyone left.

The main hall was so quiet that only Chu Yuan's own breathing could be heard.

He sat on the high platform, motionless.

He had originally intended to give Yun Zhongling a helping hand.

Never mind, we'll talk about it later.

Chu Yuan rubbed his temples, preparing to get up and go to the back hall to rest for a while, when suddenly his fingers paused.

Chu Yuan leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his gaze fixed on the shadows, his tone casual:

"Since you haven't left yet, come out."

The words fell.

The main hall was deathly silent.

No response.

Chu Yuan wasn't in a hurry. He just kept tapping the armrest, one tap at a time, with a very steady rhythm.

Three breaths.

Five breaths.

Ten breaths.

A soft laugh suddenly came from the shadows.

"As expected of the Demon Lord!"

A slender figure slowly emerged from the shadows, as if walking out of the water, without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Yun Qingyao.

Chu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, she no longer possessed any of the innocent and carefree demeanor she had before.

She just stood there, her aura as peaceful as a deep pool of water, its depths unfathomable, and no oppressive force felt.

But it was precisely this lack of feeling that made Chu Yuan most uneasy.

He had only ever seen this feeling in the original owner's memories.

Chu Yuan's mind stirred slightly, and he activated the True Eye of Illusion.

The next second, his pupils contracted slightly.

[Target: Yun Qingyao]

[Cultivation Level: ???]

[Fate's trajectory: ? ...

[Fortune: ???]

Line after line of question marks, like gibberish, twisted into an indescribable chaos.

The Eye of Truth has failed for the first time.

Chu Yuan's mind went blank for a moment.

This thing has never had any problems since he transmigrated here.

Youyue, who is in the Tribulation Transcending stage, Qianji, who hides his cultivation, and Yin Jiuqi, whose fate is strange, can all be read to some extent.

But now, faced with this girl, it simply gave up.

What's going on?

Chu Yuan's mind was filled with alarm bells, but his face remained calm and composed.

This aura... belongs to the Heavenly Dao Sect...

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers continuing to tap on the armrest:

"Is your master a Daoist master?"

Yun Qingyao nodded, her gaze somewhat complicated:

"Exactly."

Chu Yuan smiled.

He was right.

The righteous path truly brings good fortune.

Although Chu Yuan couldn't understand Yun Qingyao's aura at the moment, he felt that she was close to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Let's chat about everyday things!

"How have you been lately, Daoist Master? That fight back then was quite enjoyable."

These are the original owner's memories.

Although that Daoist master fought to the death with the original body, the two never used underhanded tricks when they fought, and they could still sit down and discuss the Dao after the fight.

If we hadn't had different stances, we might have become friends.

Chu Yuan's words sounded quite sincere.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qingyao's expression changed.

The initial confusion and hesitation were instantly replaced by a chill.

Those eyes were fixed on Chu Yuan, as if he were looking at an enemy.

Chu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

What did I say wrong?

Yun Qingyao pursed her lips, took a deep breath, as if she was forcibly suppressing something.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

Open your mouth again, then swallow it back down.

Chu Yuan just watched, his heart pounding with anxiety.

What exactly is this girl trying to do?

After a long pause, Yun Qingyao finally spoke, her voice calm:

"I came here simply to see you."

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

See me?

Yun Qingyao ignored him and continued speaking to herself:

"You are good, and very strong. In my eyes, you can even bring about a kind of peace between the demonic and righteous paths."

She paused, her gaze fixed intently on Chu Yuan:

"You were one of the few people in the world who could discuss the Dao with your master, even though he was a demon..."

Chu Yuan's lips twitched.

Why does this sound like an insult?

"Perhaps you truly can bring peace to the Cangxuan Realm..."

Yun Qingyao didn't give him a chance to reply, her tone suddenly turning cold:

"but......"

She said, word by word:

"Before I die, I will personally take your life."

After saying that, she turned and left.

The figure blended into the shadows and vanished without a trace.

The hall fell silent again.

Chu Yuan sat there, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.

What does that mean?

What does "before death" mean?

What exactly is this girl trying to do?

Before he could figure it out, three figures flashed in from outside the hall.

Youyue was the first to rush to the front of the platform, her face flushed with anger beneath her veil:

"Master! Why won't you let us make a move?!"

Li Tu also shouted:

"Who is that woman?! How dare she cause trouble on our turf?! Boss, just say the word, and I'll go and get her right now!"

Qianji didn't speak, but his eyes, hidden beneath the black robe, held a hint of doubt.

Chu Yuan waved his hand, his tone solemn:

"If she makes a move, even the three of you combined might not be able to stop her."

The three of them were stunned at the same time.

Youyue's eyes widened:

"How is that possible?! The three of us working together could fight even a peak Tribulation Transcending cultivator!"

Chu Yuan glanced at her:

"She's probably at the peak of her tribulation."

The three people: "???"

Li Tu opened his mouth wide:

"That...that silly-looking little girl?!"

Qianji seemed to be deep in thought:

"Yun Qingyao...a disciple of the Daoist Master..."

Youyue frowned:

"No wonder the Daoist Master's disciple is so arrogant!"

Li Tu scratched his head:

"Master, why don't we just start a war against the righteous sects?"

"Qianji, do you know why she came here to see me?"

Qianji said in a deep voice:

"I don't know. I've been thinking about it all. What does that mean before I die?"

After these words were spoken, all three fell silent.

Could it be...?

Qianji suddenly spoke:

"Master, if I may be so bold as to ask, did the Daoist Master suffer a fatal wound in your battle back then?"

Chu Yuan was taken aback.

The original owner's memories of that battle were indeed somewhat vague.

As far as I remember, although the fight was fierce and chaotic, both of them made it back alive in the end.

He shook his head:

"no."

Qianji frowned even more deeply:

"Why has the Daoist master been in seclusion for three years and has not emerged yet?"

Chu Yuan was stunned.

Yes.

The Daoist master has been in seclusion for three years and has not emerged since.

Although both sides were seriously injured, it was by no means a fatal injury.

Moreover, the original owner belonged to a demonic sect and practiced secret techniques in order to recover quickly.

However, the Daoist Master is a follower of the righteous path.

Countless people were protecting her.

How could he possibly die?

This is illogical.

A thought suddenly popped into Chu Yuan's mind.

Could it be...?

The Daoist Master has been framed!

He looked in the direction where Yun Qingyao had disappeared, his expression turning serious.

"Don't make this public yet."

He stood up:

"Just go about your business as usual, and pretend nothing happened."

Youyue hesitated and said:

"Master, what if she..."

"rest assured."

Chu Yuan waved his hand, his tone tinged with helplessness:

"She said she would kill me, but not now."

"When?"

"She said, before she died."

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chu Yuan didn't explain further and turned to walk towards the back hall.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Youyue:

"Oh, by the way, send that female puppet over to me later."

Youyue was taken aback: "Master, didn't you say it wasn't necessary?"

Chu Yuan remained expressionless:

"Don't ask! Don't pry into adults' affairs!"

What if one day I need to cross-dress and run away?
