Chapter 1171: What a Coincidence
“Everyone has been killed? Then where is he now?!”
The elder who followed was furious, regretting not completely eliminating Lin Nuo back then, leaving trouble for the future.
Who would have thought that the useless Lin Nuo, who had no ambitions back then, would become a villain today, even resorting to killing his fellow disciples and employing all kinds of despicable tactics that were truly outrageous?
The greater the change in a person, the more it seemed that Lin Nuo was originally involved with the demonic path, just hiding it well and fooling everyone in the sect. Now that he had left the Xuanyun Sect, his true nature was fully revealed.
He must have been eyeing this Demon Star, and now many Demon Practitioners have come too. This is a great disaster, a future catastrophe for the world.
“I don’t know… After we found the bodies of our disciples, we didn’t discover Lin Nuo’s whereabouts.”
“He might have gone into the mountains. Everyone wants to get closer to that Demon Star. We can’t let him succeed.”
The elder said angrily, unable to hold back anymore, he directly quickened his pace, not caring whether Han Fairy and the others kept up, rushing forward at full speed.
“This…”
Su Kexin listened to their conversation, slowly coming to grips with the past truth.
“Master, what has happened?”
Su Kexin turned to Han Fairy and asked, feeling utterly confused, not knowing what had transpired.
All she knew was that her Senior Brother killed fellow disciples and then vanished.
In her impression, Lin Nuo had gone with Liu Shuqin to jump into the Magic Spring and then fell into demonic ways, so was this another timeline? Was Liu Shuqin still around?
“Master, Big Senior Sister, did she follow Senior Brother?”
“Kexin, what are you talking about? Your Big Senior Sister passed away a year ago.”
Han Fairy was somewhat surprised, never expecting Su Kexin to ask such a question.
“Oh, she passed away… never mind, Master, just forget I said that. I just didn’t rest well and my head’s a bit fuzzy. So what about Senior Brother now? Has he killed someone?” Su Kexin scratched her head, awkwardly laughing.
“Ever since he escaped Tianling Mountain, he has been missing. We later heard that he was going in and out of the Black Market and had dealings with the Refining Demon Sect. Recently, some disciples discovered his trail, intending to capture him alive, but were unexpectedly killed by him. Now he’s completely beyond redemption. Even though he was once my disciple, I won’t show any mercy. Kexin, you must be cautious. He is no different from a treacherous Demon Disciple now.”
Han Fairy spoke of mercy, yet she had never felt much for Lin Nuo.
When Lin Nuo was still in the Xuanyun Sect, she didn’t have high hopes for him. Even when he was wronged and slandered, she didn’t step in to help.
This was also why Su Kexin grew to dislike her Master more and more.
So calculating.
“Senior Brother killed other disciples? …That means he must have fallen into demonic ways…”
Su Kexin murmured, making deductions. It seemed Lin Nuo would successfully fall into demonic paths, but whether he would still care about the world like the Lin Nuo she knew was uncertain.
“Kexin, there are many Demon Disciples here. I can’t tend to you. Stay away from the Demon Star, fight alongside the other disciples on the outskirts. We will handle Lin Nuo’s matter.”
Han Fairy instructed Su Kexin, then quickly hurried to catch up with the elders.
“Hmm…”
Su Kexin didn’t follow. She couldn’t keep up; with her current strength, how could she catch up to them?
She needed to see Lin Nuo, wanting to ask him directly why he was doing this.
But where should she go? How would she know where Lin Nuo would show up?
Charging in recklessly would undoubtedly be a death wish. With so many Demon Practitioners fighting for the fortunes brought by the Demon Star, she would surely get killed if she approached.
And it wouldn’t be just that; she might explode with power and become that person she despised.
She didn’t want to use this kind of power anymore; she wanted to solve things with her own strength.
Where would Senior Brother go?
It was difficult to bump into him running like this. Even if she did, he definitely wouldn’t have time to discuss things with her, as countless people would be coming to hunt him down.
Hopefully, she could get lucky; after all, he would need to deal with so many practitioners and elders, and it wasn’t easy. Awakening to this demonic power, he’d need to recuperate.
Let’s just take a chance; I hope there’s still a bit of fate between us.
Su Kexin randomly picked a spot, attempting to track Lin Nuo. Although the hope was slim, she had to try.
At this moment, Lin Nuo had already completed the jump into the Spring and awakened his demonic roots, gaining demonic power.
Just then, Lin Nuo, within his dream, also shifted to this role.
He quickly realized his current situation.
He had fallen into demonic ways, taking the first step down the path of a villain.
At this moment, he should lay low, escape, and slowly develop.
Since he was back in this time, there was no shame in being a great villain; it was time to wage war against all sects.
In this timeline, Su Kexin wouldn’t fall in love with him, nor would anyone else, so they were all enemies.
Although it was somewhat regrettable that there was no love in this timeline, since he was here, there was no holding back; it was time to fully embrace his villainous ideals.
First, survive and get out. He would follow his previous memories and escape as he had done before; he wouldn’t be caught.
Everything was going smoothly. He successfully escaped, dodging those pursuing him, just repeating the tactics from the previous two lifetimes; it wasn’t a big problem.
However…
“Wait, what…???”
Lin Nuo stopped in shock. This was impossible! Had he really run into Su Kexin?!
This was unscientific, completely unscientific! How could he bump into her here?
Didn’t he not have this experience? Wasn’t Su Kexin just lazing around at this moment?
Did he take a wrong turn and end up meeting Su Kexin?
Damn it, just as he got back here, he was about to kick the bucket?
No, as long as he didn’t expose her power, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Could she explode right there?
A mere Su Kexin would not be able to stop him. He could just throw a few shoulder throws and take her down first.
But…
Even though he thought that, he still couldn’t bring himself to act.
It was simple; his feelings for Su Kexin had already changed. They had shared a bed, and he’d even said they might end up together.
In the end, he was moved.
But in this timeline, Su Kexin wouldn’t fall for him; she would only see him as an enemy.
Let’s go, for now, don’t mind her.
“Senior Brother! What a coincidence! It seems we really are destined to meet!”
Su Kexin saw Lin Nuo and shouted excitedly, but Lin Nuo had no intention to acknowledge her. She could shout all she wanted; he would run his own way.
Su Kexin hurriedly ran to intercept him, not beating around the bush, fearing Lin Nuo would escape, and urgently stated her intentions:
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother! I’m not here to fight you! I came from another timeline; I just want to have a good talk! I want to understand your past!”
