Chapter 1268: The Sinful Demon Woman

“Hmm?”

Lin Nuo detected something unusual. Although Ling Meng previously claimed to have no clue about another personality, perhaps her subconscious still harbored some information.

Of course, Lin Nuo remained tight-lipped, having promised the other personality confidentiality, and to prevent Ling Meng from overthinking.

“I don’t know who you’re talking about. You might be too anxious, leading to hallucinations. If possible, I would let you rest a bit longer. But we need to leave now.”

Lin Nuo’s hand rested on Ling Meng’s head, soothing her anxiety.

With Lin Nuo’s reassurance, Ling Meng’s mood stabilized somewhat, as she had always obeyed him. However, this time, Lin Nuo’s words couldn’t entirely dispel her worries.

A strong feeling existed, even if she kept psychologically suggesting it was an illusion, it couldn’t eliminate her concerns.

“Hmm… Maybe you’re right… I’m sorry for making Master worry.”

“Let’s go.”

As Lin Nuo prepared to lead Ling Meng away, other magic realm generals rushed in to block their path.

“Warrior, we trust you are innocent. However, logically, you cannot all leave. At least let her stay; if we find the truth, we will sincerely apologize to you.”

A magic general wielding a large sword pointed at Ling Meng, insisting she stay behind until they reached a conclusion.

“Are you teaching me how to do things? I am taking her with me today—let’s see who dares to stop me.”

Lin Nuo had no time for further discussion. Giving them too much leeway, they dared to negotiate in front of him! The powerful aura erupting from his body sent a group of demons flying, though the magic general remained steady, not falling from his mount.

“She is suspicious and cannot leave—that’s our rule here.”

Suddenly, a wave of intense rage engulfed the magic general, enhancing both him and his horse, his eyes glowing red in terrifying fury.

The other demons were startled; this was no ordinary enhancement—it felt like he was about to lose control! If they didn’t retreat, they might get hurt too!

The warriors quickly backed off, some even in a panic trying to flee as the magic general expanded in size, resembling a mutated creature.

“He’s lost it; this is not the typical strength of a magic realm general.”

Mu Yiting sensed something was wrong and quickly advised Lin Nuo.

“Lin Nuo, I don’t think we should fight him; he’s too abnormal.”

“I can see it. This kind of short-term rage is consuming his life force early. Normally, a demon wouldn’t resort to this unless they were in a desperate situation. Once he exhausts all his strength in fury, he’ll die.”

Lin Nuo recognized immediately that something was off with this magic general. He had gone from calm to reckless in mere minutes, disregarding his life.

There wasn’t enough hatred for him to unleash himself like this!

Suddenly, that enraged magic general swung his colossal blade down with an earth-shattering force, creating a massive chasm, not caring about the lives of his own men. The gap spread swiftly; fortunately, Lin Nuo reacted quickly, wrapping an arm around Ling Meng to dodge out of the way.

At that moment, Qin Shili quickly summoned ice magic to bind the general’s attack, but in front of the enraged magic general, it was in vain.

“Retreat.”

Lin Nuo conjured a whirlwind, stirring up clouds of dust to obscure their view, swiftly taking Ling Meng away.

However, the magic general wasn’t finished; in his fury, he couldn’t control himself, and although he didn’t chase Lin Nuo and the others, he unleashed havoc on the other demons.

Crying filled the air; it was a scene of carnage.

“He’s killing his own people… It’s so sudden…”

Mu Yiting was astonished, thinking it was just about Lin Nuo, only to find he was killing his own.

“Caught in it, there may be more of these crazed demons to come.”

Lin Nuo grew serious; it seemed the Handa Alliance was getting ruthless. Initially, they only aimed to dominate the demon realm and force all demons into submission. Now, it seemed they aimed to annihilate the defiant demons.

“Could it be like Liang Zhao, causing loss of sanity? Like my past self?”

Qin Shili recalled dark memories, nearly losing control back then.

“Perhaps worse. Anyway, they haven’t pursued us.”

Lin Nuo looked back; indeed, there were no pursuers. The path behind was a vast wasteland, filled with corpses, as if someone had laid waste to it.

“This place is doomed. I wonder what kind of horrific weapons they’ve developed. I suspect some fell victim to their own rage.”

Lin Nuo squatted to examine the bodies, realizing they all bore the same fate—having drained their Demon Soul Power completely.

If someone truly induced their rage, and that many magic generals had gone berserk, it meant a large number of demon masters must have initiated a demon array, but he saw no signs of a demon array anywhere.

That was peculiar.

Lin Nuo searched around for clues, and soon, another batch of demons approached.

Upon seeing Ling Meng, they reacted similarly:

“It’s her! The sinful demon woman!”

“Monster! Monster!”

“Run! Run!”

Seeing Ling Meng was like encountering a plague, each one frantically panicked, leaving Lin Nuo bewildered.

Ling Meng was right there with him; what had she done?

Was someone impersonating her?

“Stay here and don’t wander. I’ll be right back.”

As Lin Nuo finished speaking, he dashed like the wind, catching hold of a small soldier, who appeared utterly terrified, nearly losing his senses, trembling as he spoke:

“Please, please, don’t kill me… I beg you…”

“If I don’t kill you, then tell me why you’re so afraid of her?”

Lin Nuo pointed towards Ling Meng, but the small soldier only dared to glance at her and looked even more terrified than when facing Lin Nuo.

“She… She killed our companions, and many of our generals were controlled by her—they went berserk! Then, we… ended up killing each other…”

“Are you sure it was her?”

“Yes, yes, it was her… I recognized her…”

“When did you see her?”

“About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn…”

“Alright, I see.”

About the time it took to burn an incense stick, he could have been with Ling Meng then; could she have conjured a doppelgänger?

Surprisingly, that was indeed possible.

Because Ling Meng subconsciously felt her other personality was gone, and coincidentally, another person resembling her appeared.

Could it be another personality?

No, personalities can’t separate like that. At most, it’s a soul or spirit; could they have found a host?

After asking a few more details, Lin Nuo let the small soldier go.

It was confirmed that there was someone who looked like Ling Meng causing chaos, and they were extremely ruthless, far surpassing Liang Zhao’s witchcraft, directly driving other magic generals mad.

Boom!

As Lin Nuo contemplated, the demons that had fled didn’t get far before being obliterated.

“It seems your death was destined; maybe you’ll be reborn into a better life next time.”

Lin Nuo mumbled, sensing a strong killing intent approaching.

“Here already? Hmm, well, that’s good.”

Lin Nuo didn’t retreat, casually shrugging and shaking his head to warm up.

Soon, amidst the smoke and chaos, a familiar figure emerged.

If he hadn’t looked closely, he might have thought it was Ling Meng.

But it wasn’t; it was merely a crude imitation.
