Chapter 401: I

"You!"

Fan Yu'an, as if struck by lightning, "Are you also the Title: Witch's dog?"

Lin Chuan: "???"

"You're the damn dog! Your whole family are dogs."

"I am your master!"

"Title: Witch, you… you and Lin Chuan know… know each other?" Fan Yu'an asked tremblingly.

"Don't know."

Mo Sangyu shook her head, her gaze falling on Lin Chuan. This man didn't look very strong, yet he was the legendary First Realm,

but gave her an extremely dangerous feeling.

"You can die."

Lin Chuan gave a slight smile, looking at Fan Yu'an, "Someone like you, a fence‑sitter, will betray sooner or later; I'll clean up waste like you for the Title: Witch."

Fan Yu'an: "???"

"What the hell is your relation to the Title: Witch? What right do you have to clean me up?"

He was just about to speak.

In a glance, Lin Chuan stepped forward, and the next instant his foot landed on the man's chest, immobilizing every part of his body.

Not only the Physical Body, the Immortal Soul was likewise immobilized.

"The person at the Extermination Meeting said it right: you must go to Di Yu."

At the moment their eyes met, Fan Yu'an's eyes burst with boundless terror; he saw a blood‑soaked world, a rolling sea of blood,

countless wandering souls, ferocious evil ghosts roaming the road.

and eerie Other Shore Flowers blooming.

This truly described the legendary Di Yu scene; that kind of fear can seep into any living being's Immortal Soul.

"You… you…"

Fan Yu'an's inner fear grew ever stronger, as if countless ghostly hands were dragging his soul into Di Yu.

No matter how he resisted, it was of no avail.

In the end he could only be utterly annihilated, his soul turning to void, his Physical Body becoming the blood food of the Cleansing World Blood Lotus.

In the vast arena, only Lin Chuan and Mo Sangyu remained.

"Who are you? What purpose brings you to find me?"

Mo Sangyu looked at the unfamiliar man before her, not old, close in age to her, yet his strength was astonishingly great.

Among peers, she had never met someone she couldn't read, whose presence felt dangerous.

This was the first.

The other had infiltrated the Extermination Meeting, spent great effort to find this place, surely had a purpose, perhaps came for the Cleansing World Blood Lotus.

"My name is Lin Chuan, a leisurely cultivator with no notable background."

Lin Chuan introduced himself, "I come here with no ill intent toward you; I've long heard the famed Red Lotus Title: Witch and wish to befriend you."

"Oh?"

Mo Sangyu sneered, "Friends with a Demon Cultivator? Your idea is rather novel."

She naturally didn't believe Lin Chuan's words.

No purpose? Impossible!

Someone who claims to have no purpose often harbors a great purpose they dare not voice; such a person is the most dangerous to guard against.

"I don't need friends; you may leave."

Mo Sangyu said coldly, murderous intent flaring, no longer concealed.

Lin Chuan sighed inwardly.

Indeed! This excuse was much like Ye Xue's; such a cold aloofness that warns strangers to stay away made him have to plot slowly.

"I'm an idle wanderer, not knowing where to go; how about I follow you to cultivate for a while, what do you think?" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"I prefer to be alone; no one is worthy of trust in my eyes." Mo Sangyu remained cold.

"You will inevitably need help someday." Lin Chuan kept his smile.

"I don't need it!"

Mo Sangyu could no longer tolerate, "If you don't leave now! Don't blame me for being impolite!"

Crimson demonic aura erupted, enveloping Mo Sangyu's entire body.

On the ferocious ghostly visage, bloodlight flickered.

If she hadn't lacked certainty, she would have killed this inexplicable man before her ten thousand times.

"Alas."

Lin Chuan sighed, "I truly came to help you; I know you've encountered a calamity, an unsolvable problem that has constantly plagued you."

Mo Sangyu was startled, her willow‑shaped brows furrowed, "What?"

"There's another personality inside your body that has been troubling you, right?" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"You! How could you claim to know?!"

Mo Sangyu's expression changed abruptly; though her mask concealed her face, her slightly trembling body already revealed everything.

When she was a child, her father intended to sell her; her mother seemed to oppose but actually wanted to haggle with the buyer for a better price.

Unintentionally learning all this, her heart turned to ash.

In the end the buyer broke the contract.

Her parents, furious, poured all their malice onto her, beating and scolding her, denying her food.

She almost died.

At that moment, another voice appeared inside her body.

That night, she killed her parents with her own hands.

Laughably, it was only now that she discovered they were not her biological parents.

Back then, his biological parents abandoned her.

This foster couple raised her only to sell her at a good price.

At that moment, her Shi Jie completely collapsed.

Later, she witnessed more evil and found that the world's people were merely ugly faces of selfishness.

They only excel at disguising, showing the good side.

Whether it's a beggar struggling at the bottom or a lofty Immortal Daoist priest, royal relatives, all are the same.

Walking in Darkness, her hands became stained with ever more blood.

At first she still blamed herself, feeling guilt inside.

Now she is already numb; killing is just killing, and her heart no longer stirs at all.

On the Path of Cultivation, it's everyone fighting each other, deceit and treachery; to continue on this road, one must be ruthless.

Once emotions arise, that is the beginning of death.

Fortunately, her other personality has been completely sealed deep within her soul; it only occasionally influences her, but will never emerge again.

Such a her is also unsuited to living in this kind of world.

She will die a terrible death.

She is too naive, too gentle, too dependent, needing salvation, yet there is no one in Shi Jie who can be her support and her redemption.

The only thing that can sustain her moving forward in Shi Jie is cold‑bloodedness.

No one in the world has ever seen her other side.

The person before me called Lin Chuan? How does he know?

"You! Who exactly are you?"

Mo Sangyu's voice grew colder, dropping to the freezing point.

The other personality is what she wants to protect, also her greatest weakness, and must never be known by the second person.

"I merely have some attainment on the soul's Dao, seeing some clues, truly without malice," Lin Chuan explained.

"Fine! I accept you!"

Mo Sangyu changed her attitude, "If you truly wish to stay by my side, then follow me, don't blame me for not warning you."

"These days, there are many righteous cultivators who want to kill me."

"As soon as my trail is truly exposed, some great powers will come to eliminate me, and those staying by my side will be considered my accomplices."

"When the time comes and I am settled, I too cannot escape death."

She agreed to let Lin Chuan stay by her side because he knows her weakness; letting such a person leave would pose a greater threat to her.

Keeping him nearby at least gives a chance to control him.

"Settlement?"

Lin Chuan smiled, "It's fine, I'm lucky; misfortune won't fall on me."
