A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

In Wu Xian's view, the various methods used by the Ascension Sect were simply monstrous.

In comparison, although the allied cultivators are stronger, they may not be able to defeat the evil cultivation methods of the Ascension Cult Master.

As a direct participant, Ye Yun did not hide anything from her and frankly recounted the story.

"Well, it all started with the letters you sent afterward..."

In the time that followed, Ye Yun gave a brief account of the normal battle, from beginning to end.

Of course, he glossed over some of the things that should have been kept secret by giving different reasons.

For example, there's the issue of Nangong Jiutian's identity.

According to his account, the other party was simply a senior who had been kind to him.

After listening, Wu Xian's face showed a look of emotion.

"I see. I never imagined that Elder Ye had gone through so much."

Ye Yun nodded in response.

"Indeed, there were times when we almost lost, but the result was good."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wuxian and smiled.

"Furthermore, Miss Wuxian, you deserve the greatest credit for this effort to wipe out the Ascension Sect."

These words were not flattery based on her current situation.

But Wu Xian felt he was not up to the task.

She shook her head and said calmly.

"No, the reason we were able to win is because Elder Ye and the other seniors are strong enough."

"As for me, I am merely someone who was used by the Ascension Cult Leader, and I have no merit to speak of."

It was fortunate that Ye Yun's side was strong enough; otherwise, if the Ascension Cult Master had followed his plan, the allied forces would probably have been completely wiped out.

At that time, she was probably one of the culprits.

She was just lucky that Ye Yun's allied forces won, so how could she take credit for it?

Of course, that's what she thought, but Ye Yun didn't.

He smiled and shook his head at Wu Xian's rebuttal.

"That's not entirely true. If it weren't for Miss Wuxian's initial clue..."

"What follows will probably not go so smoothly."

"So... you can rest assured and accept this credit; no one will object."

On this point, Yue Rushuang also gave an affirmative answer.

"He's right, so just accept it without hesitation."

Looking at Wuxian, she vaguely understood what had happened.

To end up like this in order to obtain intelligence is undoubtedly a huge sacrifice.

Just then, Ye Yun smiled at Wu Xian and said.

"Even Ru Shuang says so, so you should be relieved, right?"

Before this, Wuxian had also been in contact with Yue Rushuang and knew her identity.

In the past, they would have been considered half enemies.

Right now, she feels a little lost in the way he is taking care of her.

"Well... okay."

In the end, Wuxian respectfully accepted the credit that Ye Yun had offered.

After that, she was released from prison.

Having regained his freedom, Wuxian looked around at the prisoners who had not yet been harmed and couldn't help but remark something.

"Elder Ye, could we send all these people back later?"

As someone who witnessed the cruelty inflicted upon so many people here, Wuxian felt genuine pity for them.

Ye Yun nodded without hesitation.

"Of course, we will definitely send them home when the time comes to clean up the mess."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, glanced at those who had been turned into demons, and added a sentence.

"But these guys, we just have to get rid of them."

At this moment, they have all been reduced to blood-red monsters that only know how to fight and kill.

Even if we let them out, it will only cause huge trouble.

Wu Xian didn't say anything about this.

"Well... that's the only way."

After she finished speaking, she remembered something and asked Ye Yun a question.

"By the way, before me... have you ever seen anyone who could remain conscious after transforming into a demon?"

This question really intrigued Ye Yun.

He fell into deep thought, recalling all the monsters he had encountered.

After a while, Ye Yun shook his head and said.

"To be honest, it seems like that's not the case."

"Is that so..."

Wu Xian sighed softly, as if sensing endless loneliness and sadness.

"So, I'm the only one who's turned into this inhuman, freakish state?"

Although those around her had also turned into monsters like her, they had lost their self-awareness.

In a sense, they have completely become demons.

But I am different; I have the appearance of a demon, but I possess a clear self.

Without a doubt, this is both a good thing and a tragedy...

"That's not entirely true."

Ye Yun looked at her and said seriously.

"The most important thing in distinguishing between humans and demons is the heart and the self, and you undoubtedly still have both."

This explanation seemed to have touched Wu Xian.

She looked up at Ye Yun and asked.

"Really?"

"Of course, I promise."

Ye Yun nodded without hesitation.

Although before this, Wuxian had carried some sins due to his background.

But after this incident and her current situation, it's fair to say she owes nothing.

At this point, Wuxian seemed to have chosen to accept it as well.

"Hmm...I understand."

After that, Ye Yun looked at her and, remembering what had happened before, couldn't help but ask.

"Speaking of which, Miss Wuxian, what exactly happened to you?"

"Why did you suddenly lose contact with me last time?"

We were so busy exchanging pleasantries that we forgot to ask about this.

When this matter was mentioned, Wu Xian's expression changed slightly.

Judging from this, it seems to have touched on something she doesn't want to remember.

Seeing this, Ye Yun spoke first.

"Of course, it's fine if Miss Wuxian doesn't want to talk about it."

Given the current situation, even if the other party doesn't say anything, he can roughly guess what's going on.

Wu Xian remained silent for a moment in response.

Finally, she took a deep breath and said.

"It's alright, there's nothing I can't say..."

Wu Xian recounted in detail how he was captured and what Qing Shi did to him afterwards.

After listening, Ye Yun and Yue Rushuang remained silent for a long time.

Finally, they sighed silently.

"That was truly an unfortunate encounter."

Ye Yun looked at her with a hint of sadness and said something.

"But don't worry, it's all over now."

Since things had come to this point, this was the only way he could indirectly comfort the other party.

Wu Xian didn't react much, but paused for a moment and asked.

"Elder Ye, I'd like to go up there and take a look."

Her sudden request made Ye Yun hesitate for a moment.

Then he nodded.

"No problem, I'll take you there."

Although the Nine Netherworld Holy Land is in a terrible state right now, having been completely razed to the ground.

But the other party will eventually see it; it's something that can't be avoided.

Instead of hiding it, it's better to let the other person know sooner so they can accept reality sooner.

"Thank you, Elder Ye."

Wu Xian bowed to him.

I wonder if all of this has caused such a dramatic change in her personality.

When interacting with Ye Yun, there was a sense of distance between them.

Although he had some suspicions, Ye Yun didn't think too much about it.

"It's alright, let's go."

Just as they were about to leave, Wuxian seemed to remember something and asked a question.

"By the way, could I borrow a larger size of clothing?"

This sudden question startled Ye Yun.

He looked the other person up and down, and asked, puzzled.

"What are you doing...?"

There was still one piece of clothing on the other person.

It's not particularly beautiful, but it's still pretty good.

Upon hearing this, Wuxian stretched out his hand, revealing half of his arm that had become a demon.

"I just don't want to appear like this to people."

"Besides, if I go out like this, I'm afraid it will cause you some trouble, won't it?"

If it's only the latter, Ye Yun could try to persuade the other party.

Although it may be a bit troublesome, it can all be resolved.

The problem is, there's also the former.

It's understandable, really. Anyone would probably not want to be seen as a monster.

Moreover, Wuxian is a young female cultivator.

Becoming like this must have been a huge blow to her.

After thinking it over, Ye Yun reached out and removed a mask from his face.

Then, it was placed on Wuxian's face.

Consider this a thank you gift for what you've done for me.

Wu Xian gently touched the mask on his face and asked in confusion.

"Elder Ye, what is this?"

"A magical artifact that can change its appearance at will is something even an Emperor-level expert wouldn't be able to detect."

Ye Yun smiled and gave him a detailed introduction.

"I have already separated them; you can use them once you acknowledge the Lord."

Just by listening to his description, Wuxian could sense the preciousness of this magical artifact.

She looked at Ye Yun and couldn't help but say something.

"Elder Ye, this magic weapon must be very valuable, right?"

Ye Yun waved his hand and smiled faintly.

"It's fine, it's basically useless to me."

Ultimately, these kinds of magical artifacts are mostly used to help users gain special abilities when their cultivation level is low.

As his cultivation level increases, he will be able to use his own abilities to disguise himself.

Moreover, once one becomes stronger, the need to hide one's identity and disguise oneself as others diminishes.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have so easily given the Thousand Illusions Mask to Wuxian.

"Alright then, thank you Elder Ye."

Wu Xian didn't stand on ceremony any longer and bowed respectfully.

After that, she extended a finger and infused a drop of her blood essence into the Thousand Illusions Mask.

As a faint red light emanates from the mask, the recognition of its master is considered successful.

Immediately afterwards, Wuxian's appearance began to change.

From being half-human and half-demon, back to being a normal human.

"This... how could they have done this?"

Wu Xian was taken aback and was amazed by the illusionary effect.

It's not just a simple change in appearance.

Even in person, they seem like ordinary people.

It even gave her the illusion that nothing had happened.

Ye Yun smiled at her surprise.

"Yes, that's how I infiltrated Fengbo City back then."

"this……"

Mentioning her experiences in Fengbo City stirred a few ripples in Wuxian's heart, and a blush appeared on her face.

She clearly remembered the time when she mistook the other person for a woman and did that kind of thing.

As for Yue Rushuang, she watched the two of them suspiciously from the side.

If there weren't other people around, she would have asked if there was something going on between the two of them.

Yue Rushuang was all too familiar with the look that Wuxian gave Ye Yun.
