Chapter 1147: Just Kill Them All

Chapter 1147: Just Kill Them All

“Wouldn’t it have been better to realize this sooner? What are you stalling for?”

Lin Nuo wanted to send them a yellow bean sweat expression; here I am, a big villain, doing nothing serious, and instead coming here to help you reunite—this is a bit too wide for business expansion.

At this rate, when I get back to the 21st-century modern life, I could even open a shop and act as a mediator to solve love disputes, reaching a small goal.

Su Kexin was stunned for a moment. Although she had just had expectations, upon the other party’s acknowledgment, she found it hard to believe.

Despite feeling a certain familiarity and her senior martial brother hinting at it, she still felt it was surreal and not real.

This scene surprised Lin Nuo a bit; logically, Su Kexin should have rushed out for a deep embrace and then broken into tears, performing a grand reunion act.

But no, she just looked completely dazed.

Wait, that’s not your character.

“Why are you reacting this way?”

Lin Nuo turned to Su Kexin.

“Ah? I… I feel… this seems, a bit unreal…”

Su Kexin expressed her thoughts honestly.

“What’s unreal about it? Do you think you’re still dreaming?”

Lin Nuo tapped her head, but she didn’t react, still staring blankly.

Are you possessed? Did something scare you?

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward; isn’t this just embarrassing for the old man?

It’s like those guys getting ignored when confessing to a girl—how awkward.

Seems like he is one of them.

Ignored by Qin Shili back in the day.

But if he were Qin Shili, he’d probably ignore such a weakling too.

“No, no, it’s nothing, Senior Brother…”

Su Kexin gently shook her head, lightly slapping her face to wake herself up a bit.

She turned back to the old man and said:

“Um, Senior… no, it should be, Grandpa. Ah, suddenly I don’t know what to say. I haven’t seen my grandpa since childhood, and now seeing him feels unreal; please don’t mind me, Grandpa.”

“It’s fine, this is normal. After all, I also find it hard to believe my granddaughter is back here. To be honest, I’m only technically your grandpa by blood, but I’ve never been there to watch you grow. So I feel guilty towards you. Su Kexin, such a lovely name. You must have suffered a lot, right?”

The old man wanted to step closer to Su Kexin to pat her head but hesitated, worried about transferring his Demon Qi to her.

“Grandma and the others have suffered a lot; because of them, I haven’t had to suffer much. You must be lonely here, facing those vicious demon beasts and the shrieks of Demon Souls. Grandpa, why are you staying here? Tell us, Senior Brother can surely help you.”

“This goes back several decades. Back then, I was still young and left your grandma to travel. I just wanted to do some business to improve our home and help Su Family Village escape poverty. But I discovered that without strength in this world you’re like a lamb to be slaughtered. I’ve seen many people die tragically; my business partners were killed by Demon Practitioners, and eventually, I turned to martial arts myself.”

“Yeah… Dad told me since I was little that without strength in this world, one will eventually be slaughtered, so he urged me to practice martial arts,” Su Kexin sighed.

“Yes, Ling Jiang was also influenced by my teachings. Later, I met some cultivators and Taoists, and I followed them to cultivate, slaying demons and protecting the weak. Then, we encountered the wolf king Nos and this demon master, along with his demonic army, and I got tainted by the demonic path while dealing with them. We needed to seal them, and that required someone to come in contact with the demonic path before being sealed together, and that person was me. I’ve guarded this place and acted from within to successfully seal them; I’ve been here all these years.”

The old man recounted his experiences, then sighed deeply:

“You might complain about me. Why did I have to be that person? Why couldn’t others do it? Actually, others have tried before, but they got tainted by the demonic path and lost their nature, dying tragically in the end. I wasn’t the first to try, but I was the luckiest; I didn’t die tragically.”

“Um… I won’t complain about you, Grandpa. I know if you hadn’t done this, many would have been killed by them, and people could live peacefully because of your great contribution.”

“That’s not really contribution; I’ve also killed many innocent people, I’m merely atoning. A few years ago, the sealing space grew weaker, and those demon beasts and demons wanted to break free, and they happened to find you. I had begun to lose control here, but you guys managed to kill the wolf king and demon master, surprising me.”

“That’s just my Senior Brother’s merit.”

“You all contributed. But your merit is the greatest, child. I don’t know what you’ve been through; how do you possess such strength? Does your father know about this?”

“He knows now.”

“He didn’t know before?”

“Uh…”

Su Kexin stammered, and the old man sensed the issue.

“This person, what kind of father is he? His daughter has such abilities, and he’s been kept in the dark. This is not good for you because the you back then became quite frightening.”

“Yes, Grandpa. Inside me, there’s another personality that comes out when I use my abilities. Dad said she would corrode my current personality, so I worry that one day I might just disappear from this world…”

As Su Kexin spoke, her head drooped, already dreading the worst scenarios.

Lin Nuo secretly laughed; corrosion was impossible, according to the script; she would control this ability—it was just that she had changed.

Of course, now it must align with her—just don’t use the corrosion anymore.

“Um…?”

Suddenly, the altar began to shake again; the old man tightened his grip on the spirit staff, frowning.

“Grandpa, what’s happening now?”

“Actually, there are several layers in this altar. The bottom layer seals a terrible demon. Even though you killed the wolf king before, I had the strength to stabilize this place, but as the years passed, I’m increasingly powerless. With your arrival, you’ve caused quite a stir here. I’m afraid he’s beginning to climb up from the bottom layer; you should leave. As long as I’m here, he can’t break free and won’t kill me, because if I die, he’ll die too.”

“We’re not leaving, Grandpa; if we go, we go together.”

“I told you, if I leave, this place will unseal, and the remaining demon beasts and demons will be released. Although they will be significantly weakened, and some may have already died, they will still be a headache.”

The old man said, turning back to the altar, wanting to suppress the demon who was trying to climb up.

“I don’t know what you’re worried about; if we just kill them all, there’s nothing to worry about—so simple.”

Lin Nuo summoned the spirit sword, already filled with the intent to kill.
