I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

It took a long time for the corpses of humans that had been eating people in this river to gain sentience. After cultivating for over 180 years, it finally got its chance, only to encounter this bird.

In mid-air, Bai Qingyu gripped the wooden umbrella in reverse and pierced the catfish spirit's body with a soft "plop." Then, with her bird claws, she forcefully grabbed the catfish spirit's skin and tore it outwards.

As mentioned on the shore, the catfish demon should spare these children; if any of them die, the demon should be skinned, its tendons pulled out, and its heart eaten raw.

Bai Qingyu didn't know if the catfish spirit was dead. She tore off piece after piece of fish skin, which was covered in dark red blood, and threw it into the river.

In reality, the catfish spirit was not dead yet. Its thick skin and flesh meant it wouldn't die immediately. The agony of being slowly sliced ​​to death had just passed, but now it was time for the pain of being skinned and having its tendons pulled out. It wanted to beg for mercy, but its mouth was nailed shut and it couldn't open its mouth. Its attempts to please Bai Qingyu with its demonic power were completely ineffective, as its demonic power would be intercepted by Bai Qingyu's demonic power halfway through.

At this moment, the catfish spirit even felt some hatred, hating Bai Qingyu for disregarding the fact that they were all demons and trying to kill it.

Even after it had submitted, it still tried to kill them. In reality, it never considered that the children who had fallen into the water the night before were also crying and begging it not to eat them. But it not only ate them, it ate them raw. Those children felt their legs being bitten off even before they died. How desperate they must have felt.

On the shore, after a full eight minutes, there was finally some movement.

With a splash, water sprayed everywhere, and a figure leaped out of the river.

The surrounding refugees were overjoyed, instinctively thinking that the river god had descended. But upon closer inspection, they realized that it was not their river god leaping out of the water, but the white-clad demoness!

Bai Qingyu was soaked to the bone, holding a wooden umbrella in one hand and a dark red heart in the other. This heart was incredibly fresh and even seemed to be alive; it was the heart of the River God.

She was in human form at this moment, with indifferent eyes and bloodless cherry lips. The hundred or so refugees were so frightened that their blood almost turned cold. The bird demon not only came out but also seemed to have killed the river god and ripped out the river god's heart.

Thump, someone fell to their knees.

This guy had previously suggested that everyone throw the children Bai Qingyu rescued back into the river.

Bai Qingyu grabbed the River God's heart, slowly opened her mouth, and bit down hard on the heart, causing blood to splatter all over her face.

The river god's heart is a highly nourishing substance; consuming it will significantly enhance one's demonic power.

Having swallowed the entire heart, Bai Qingyu, her face covered in blood, walked up to the man with an umbrella. The man immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, but the soaked umbrella still fell to the ground.

"Bird Immortal, have mercy! It's all that river god's fault..."

Before he could finish speaking, the head exploded like a watermelon with a "plop," splattering red and yellow fragments all over the ground. The headless corpse collapsed limply, and the refugees behind it were so frightened that their legs went weak.

Bai Qingyu heard everything those hundred or so refugees said while he was in the river.

Without a doubt, killing these people will incur a great deal of negative karma. Cannibalism incurs the most negative karma, but the negative karma from this scale of slaughter will not be small at all.

Bai Qingyu raised the umbrella, her icy gaze sending chills down one's spine.

With her strength, dealing with these people was a piece of cake. She smashed one by one with her umbrella, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten corpses fell to the ground.

If a cultivator were to come and learn the truth, he would surely say that these people did not deserve to die. However, in Bai Qingyu's opinion, these people deserved to die. They snatched other people's children to sacrifice. You should know that the riverbed is densely covered with the bones of young children. There are at least thirty to fifty children who died in the mouth of the catfish demon.

The remaining refugees were terrified and fled for their lives, but they were no match for Bai Qingyu's speed.

Those running ahead saw rows and rows of people falling behind them, their heads smashed or their legs broken, their ears filled with cries of agony.

Li Guanren stood at a distance, staring blankly at the hellish scene before him.

He had seen the bird demon's personality firsthand, but he never expected that she would use such cruel methods to slaughter all these refugees.

His legs trembled uncontrollably, and warm liquid flowed from his crotch.

If the bird demon finds out he's the mastermind...

At this moment, Li Guanren was still comforting himself, thinking that since all the refugees were dead, no one would expose him. Then he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

His men kidnapped the bird demon's son and daughter...

With a thud, Mr. Li sat down on the ground, his eyes filled with despair.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Bai Qingyu turned her head and looked over, her blood-dripping umbrella frozen in mid-air.

On horseback, Dongqing had already fainted, obviously from falling from the tree, while Changsheng was still awake.

Their eyes met, and Bai Qingyu was surrounded by mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

Sorry for the late update. I had dinner at a friend's house yesterday, and when I got back, I found that the community was under lockdown. I had no choice but to stay at my friend's house for the night. Fortunately, I was finally able to leave tonight.

Then, God sent down a heavy rain, and to make matters worse, my little electric scooter ran out of power halfway there, so I had to push it through the pouring rain.

I finally got home, took a shower, and rushed to update. Sorry!

Also, please vote for me, sob sob sob.

Volume 1: Chapter 23 A Peck and a Drink: Bai Qingyu's Retribution

Blood dripped from the tip of the umbrella. Bai Qingyu was surrounded by mountains and seas of corpses. The dark red blood stained the land and gathered together to form a stream of human blood that flowed down the riverbank into the turbid river, staining a large area of ​​the river red.

She had killed too many people. When she came to her senses, she realized how many corpses were around her. Wisps of black mist, invisible to the naked eye, surged into Bai Qingyu's body. This was the legendary karmic retribution, the punishment for her sins of killing.

The merits she had accumulated were insignificant in the face of such a great deal of karmic obstacles, and were quickly washed away. Although the amount of karmic obstacles was not enough to cause her to be enveloped in black mist, it greatly changed her temperament. She was already aloof and proud, but with the karmic obstacles, she gave off a chilling aura.

This entire scene was witnessed by Liu Changsheng, who was only seven and a half years old.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing was real.

My aunt killed many people.

Corpses were everywhere around her, her white dress was almost stained red, and blood dripped from the wooden umbrella in her hand. This umbrella had taken countless lives.

In Liu Changsheng's eyes, his aunt was sometimes strict, but most of the time she was gentle and kind. She was by no means a ruthless demon, much less an evil demon.

Despite the shock of the scene before him, and the trust he had placed in his aunt over the years, Liu Changsheng couldn't help but think that there must be a reason why his aunt had killed so many people. He had never seen her so angry before. These people must have deserved to be killed, but for some reason, he felt a tightness in his chest.

The aunt standing before him amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood was truly unfamiliar. Just now, when she looked at him with those icy eyes, he felt as if he could hardly breathe, as if a sharp blade was pressed against his throat.

Bai Qingyu suddenly lowered her head, looking at her long dress stained with blood and her two wings, and then at the wooden umbrella in her hand that had just taken away countless lives.

"Long...long life..."

With slightly unsteady steps, he trudged through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, walking step by step toward the horse that was trembling with fear, constantly raising its hooves and neighing.

Bai Qingyu's aura at this moment was truly terrifying, far beyond what an ordinary horse could withstand. The horse raised its front hooves and threw off the servant on its back. It turned around and tried to run away with the two foals tied to its back, but Bai Qingyu raised his hand and used his demonic power to restrain its hooves.

As he walked over step by step, just as he was about to stand up, his obese body suddenly went limp, his legs buckling like noodles, and he couldn't stand up at all. The unpleasant smell from his crotch grew stronger and stronger.

He felt nothing but regret; that damned catfish demon had done him a terrible disservice.

If he had known earlier, he certainly wouldn't have done it.

"Immortality..."

Before the horse, Bai Qingyu slowly raised her hand, her wings gently caressing Changsheng's face, her voice soft, "Changsheng, be good, close your eyes."

Liu Changsheng stared blankly at the blood-clad demoness before him. Upon hearing this, he closed his eyes tightly, clenched his small hands, and two tears slid down his cheeks.

With a soft sigh, Bai Qingyu drew his longsword.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the longsword pierced Li Guanren's forehead with pinpoint accuracy, pinning him to the ground where he died without uttering a sound.

There was no elixir, but there was a precious sword. Bai Qingyu wasn't stupid. Li Guanren was maneuvering around and even had her child kidnapped. His intentions were despicable.

Bai Qingyu didn't know why Li Guanren would do this. Normally, such cunning people would be most afraid of their lives. The common people might really believe in the river god, but he would never do that. So there must be some purpose that made him risk his life to try it.

Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore. Let's just leave this place.

With her mind fogged up, Bai Qingyu felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Unbeknownst to her, as the blood of the corpses on the bank flowed into the river, a longsword sealed by chains at the bottom of the river stirred restlessly, struggling as if it were alive. Blood flowed into the sword, and this black longsword, forged like a spine, suddenly broke free of its chains and flew upwards, breaking through the water flow, after absorbing the last drop of blood from the catfish demon.

Bai Qingyu turned around instantly and saw that the previously calm river water had suddenly formed a whirlpool. Something seemed to emerge from beneath it, splitting the river water in two and creating a vacuum zone of more than one meter in diameter. The silt and skeletons at the bottom of the water were clearly visible.

A black streak of light suddenly shot towards them, and Bai Qingyu's pupils contracted as she instantly pushed aside the horse beside her.

puff!

The black longsword pierced Bai Qingyu's abdomen, and Bai Qingyu gritted his teeth and gripped the trembling hilt.

She never expected that what flew out would be a sword; all she knew was that it was aimed at Changsheng on horseback.

"Aunt!" Changsheng was furious at the sight and struggled desperately. The ropes binding him were not very tight, and he broke free from the ropes after falling off the horse a few times. He rushed towards Bai Qingyu with all his might.

Bai Qingyu was about to speak, but it was too late; Changsheng grabbed the end of the sword hilt.

Bai Qingyu was already on the verge of being caught, but they could still stall for time. However, under Changsheng's attack, the strange black longsword went out of control, suddenly piercing through Bai Qingyu's abdomen and then changing direction in mid-air to pierce straight into Liu Changsheng's heart.

The child's blood splattered onto Bai Qingyu's body as she watched helplessly as the child was pierced through by the sword.

Ignoring her own injuries, Bai Qingyu subconsciously reached out, but froze in place.

In her vision, Changsheng was actually merging with the black longsword. The longsword was faintly forming a kind of fluctuation, gradually becoming the same as Changsheng's heartbeat. Even their life force was gradually resonating. Her intuition told her that Changsheng would not die, but Changsheng was in a very bad state, bound by one chain after another, his expression ferocious and painful.

Bai Qingyu was flustered and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, this state of immortality did not last long. After the chains were removed, Changsheng landed from mid-air. His chest was not exposed, as if everything just now was an illusion. However, the hideous and terrifying black longsword was still firmly gripped in Changsheng's hand.

Judging from both its appearance and its aura, it was clear that this longsword was definitely not a good thing. Bai Qingyu instinctively thought of two words.

The Demon Sword.

This confirms the old Taoist's words; he truly has a great opportunity to achieve immortality.

Upon waking, Changsheng's first sight was of Bai Qingyu. "Auntie, your injuries..."

Covering the wound on her stomach with her hand, Bai Qingyu hesitated before finally shaking her head, "I'm fine, let's go home."

"this......"

Despite the severe injury to her abdomen, she endured the pain and the loss of her life force to send the children she had rescued from the shore back to Peach Blossom Town. Then, she used her demonic power to burn all the corpses on the shore. With the unconscious Dongqing in her left arm and Changsheng in her right arm, she returned to the valley where she lived.

Having killed so many people, Bai Qingyu had finally received her retribution. She knew that if she hadn't killed so many people, the blood wouldn't have flowed into the river, the demonic sword wouldn't have awakened, she wouldn't have been seriously injured by the demonic sword, and Changsheng wouldn't have been on the verge of death, almost being drained dry by the demonic sword.

Every bite and every sip is a consequence of cause and effect.

Actually, these weren't what Bai Qingyu was truly worried about. What she was worried about was being seen by Changsheng after she had killed so many people.

What Bai Qingyu didn't know was that shortly after she left, a cultivator riding a flying sword arrived.

The corpse was burned, but the blood was difficult to dispose of. Sensing the strong demonic aura, the female cultivator, unaware of the truth, turned her head to look at the mountain forest.

Her clear eyes were filled with rage; how dare this demon commit such a massacre?

"Let's go back to our master and let her handle it."

Please vote for me, sob sob sob.

I did a split for everyone!
