Chapter 833: Stop Fighting!

Chapter 833: Stop Fighting!

The two were locked in a fierce battle when suddenly a bald head appeared.

No, it wasn’t just any bald head. It was the Villain!

Actually, he wasn’t new to the scene; he had been observing in the shadows and had predicted this situation would arise, opting not to flee and instead following Liu Shuqin’s group.

Sure enough, Ling Meng was also present, and chaos ensued as both sides fought ruthlessly.

If Liu Shuqin didn’t manage to unleash Ling Meng’s explosive power, Ling Meng wouldn’t be able to kill Liu Shuqin. After all, that Demon Spirit wouldn’t just sit back and watch Liu Shuqin get killed. If the host died, the Demon Spirit would be forced to register for rebirth in the Underworld.

Oh wait, if that happened, it would be directly reduced to ashes, with no rebirth in sight.

In any case, these two girls weren’t going anywhere; Master Lin Nuo’s calculations assured that.

Let the Demon Power circulate for a while; no rush.

These two ladies were really going at it, the battlefield a complete wreck, their fight resembling a catastrophic event.

To separate them, shouting “Stop! Don’t fight anymore!” wouldn’t cut it; tough measures were necessary.

Fortunately, he had jumped into the Magic Spring and regained some of his powers, enough to act as the peacemaker; otherwise, he would have been buried alive.

Luckily, the Demon Wall he summoned was strong enough to separate the two.

In fact, he had also affixed a Demon Fu to it—just to be safe, a little extra props help, or else he might get blasted along with them, incurring heavy losses.

Even if one enters the demon state, there’s still an adaptation period; they’d gradually return to peak demon cultivation.

Of course, he had to make a grand entrance, intimidating the two with his aura; his strength needed no elaboration—overwhelming was the norm.

As they were in the thick of their fight, suddenly someone arrived, using a Demon Wall more powerful than either of theirs to divide the battlefield.

When the two noticed, their hearts sank—it was none other than Lin Nuo, the object of their admiration.

This guy always appeared and disappeared like a ghost, impossible to track down, yet showed up at the most unexpected times, stunning them both.

“Master!”

“Junior Martial Brother!”

After being pushed back, they were shocked to find it was Lin Nuo, and they exclaimed in unison.

A cold wind howled, swirling dust around. Lin Nuo waved his hand and retracted the Demon Wall.

Of course, he also pulled back the Demon Fu on his arm; couldn’t let them see that he relied on it—how embarrassing would that be?

He was just out for stability; perhaps in the future, people would sing praises: “This Villain is just so reliable.”

With their battle interrupted, the group of Demon Practitioners and Demon Beasts were still dazed.

Who am I? Where am I? What just happened? Wasn’t there a big black rat that just scurried by?

That Demon Wall… looks pretty impressive.

It was Lin Nuo, the Supreme Demon Lord, making his entrance!

Now both Liu Shuqin and Ling Meng rushed toward Lin Nuo, having missed him dearly after such a short separation—they just had to cling to him.

“Stop! Don’t come any closer.”

Lin Nuo worried they’d start fighting again, and yelled for them to halt. As if that wasn’t enough, he raised the Demon Wall again to intercept them.

These two were like fire and water, ready to clash at the slightest disagreement. Here was a glorious Villain Alliance that hadn’t even expanded outward yet, and they were already fighting within.

“I told you all to be civil with each other, no infighting. What’s this? Is this a vendetta against a father?”

Lin Nuo said with irritation, feeling more like a concerned dad, his heart practically breaking.

“Master! That Liu Shuqin just healed the injured cultivators and then let them go!”

Ling Meng quickly accused Liu Shuqin.

“Hmm, I saw that. And so?” Lin Nuo countered.

“That means she doesn’t have malicious intent! Even if she’s a Demon Practitioner now, her heart is still that of a cultivator. We Demon Practitioners should treat cultivators as enemies, and eradicate them. If she has ulterior motives, she shouldn’t be among us. Otherwise, she’ll become a disaster! I’m doing this for Master! To keep this woman in check, and make her listen to you!”

Ling Meng proclaimed earnestly, warped by the twisted teachings of the Refining Demon Sect, with her values all skewed.

Wait a minute, why was he, as a Villain, getting caught up in values?

What a ridiculous thought!

Technically, Demon Practitioners should be cutting down these cultivators without hesitation.

But does that mean if they don’t attack, you can just attack them?

You really call that controlling? Well, I guess if you kill Liu Shuqin, she would be controlled… physically, at least.

“I have my plans. What she did does indeed contradict the Demon Practitioners’ principles. But she has just turned demon; it’s normal for her to have such thoughts. We can’t completely dismiss her desire to embrace the demon path.”

“But, Master…”

“Alright, enough. Let this issue end here. And don’t worry about her being a hidden danger. If she really helps the Xuanyun Sect or any other Celestial Sect against us, I’ll be the one to kill her, even those sect cultivators.”

Lin Nuo said coldly; if he wanted to kill Liu Shuqin, it would be as easy as pie.

He wasn’t even afraid of the Demon Spirit inside Liu Shuqin, let alone anyone else.

But, even saying that, he probably wouldn’t actually do it.

How many times had he saved her now? If he killed her now, all those efforts would have been for naught.

If someone else took advantage of his absence and killed her, there would be nothing he could do, and he’d feel a bit better about it.

If he killed her, that would be just senseless boredom—one moment saving her, the next killing her.

Though, to be fair, he sometimes really had nothing better to do.

“Alright, you two act like nothing happened. Don’t fight amongst yourselves; go your separate ways. If you don’t follow my orders, that’s rebellion. I won’t tolerate disloyalty.”

“Yes… Master…”

Ling Meng replied quietly, begrudgingly. She was doing everything for her Master’s sake, yet couldn’t earn his favor, feeling quite wronged.

Was this Master really charmed by this woman? Why was he so biased toward her?

“Junior Martial Brother, I’m sorry. I saw the two fellow disciples injured, and I couldn’t bear it, so…”

“Forget it. With your character, if I asked you to act now, it’d be no better than sending a pig up a tree. Return to your place; spend more time adapting to the demon life. You’ll be able to take them down soon enough. Even if you don’t strike first, they’ll come after you. Being too kind is just cruel to yourself.”

Lin Nuo said, retracting the Demon Wall,

“I’m leaving for now. Just remember, I’ll be watching you always.”

Then, like the wind, he departed with a whoosh.

He came quickly and left quickly, not taking a single cloud with him.

……

In Zifeng Valley, a celestial mountain.

Now that the incident of the Demon Star had happened, Ruo’er had lost her motivation to cultivate; what was the point if she couldn’t show anything to Young Master?

If the Young Master really turned demon…

Then wouldn’t she have to oppose him?

Actually, she wasn’t worried about Lin Nuo turning demon; she was worried that if he turned demon and she ascended to become immortal, they would find themselves on opposite ends.

She didn’t want to be his enemy.

She wanted to follow him; if he turned demon, she would go right along with him, serving him always.

Her values of right and wrong were entirely influenced by Lin Nuo; as long as she was with him, everything would be fine.

“Ruo’er.”

At that moment, Dong Xiyan approached her.

“Dong Xiyan.” Ruo’er greeted courteously.

“Ruo’er, can I ask you something? Have you thought about your biological parents?”
