Chapter 702: Ye Lin's Terrifying Inner Demon

"Damn!"

Ye Lin was dumbfounded.

Although the face in the well water was not his own, he was extremely familiar with it.

This face belonged to Zhuge Qianxing!

Had he become Zhuge Qianxing?

Then, if he were to seek out Miss Zhuge Yi for a night of passion at this moment, wouldn't that be...

"Miss Zhuge Yi, do you choose me, where the soul is mine but the body is your father's? Or do you choose the one where the soul is your father's but the body is mine?"

After a moment of panic, Ye Lin quickly calmed down.

Zhuge Qianxing was already dead, and he had personally destroyed the body; there could be no mistake about that.

Now that he had turned into Zhuge Qianxing, there was only one possibility: this Cycle-Breaking Love-Severing Well was playing tricks!

When did he get caught in the trap? Was it when he jumped into the well?

"What's wrong, Ye Lin? Are you not happy to see your master?"

Just as Ye Lin was puzzled, the Zhuge Qianxing in the well water suddenly spoke, a sinister smile hanging on his face.

Ye Lin ignored him; it was obviously just a fake, nothing more than a counterfeit wearing the same face.

"The Cycle-Breaking Love-Severing Well is related to inner demons. In other words, Zhuge Qianxing has become my inner demon and has occupied my body?"

Ye Lin formed a bold hypothesis.

This would explain why he had suddenly transformed into the likeness of Zhuge Qianxing.

This Cycle-Breaking Love-Severing Well was truly worthy of being a forbidden area of the Joyous Union Sect; it was indeed not simple. He had underestimated this well just now.

If Ye Lin guessed correctly, the Cycle-Breaking Love-Severing Well was likely the place where the many cultivators of the Joyous Union Sect went to sever their inner demons.

If one's strength was insufficient, the inner demon would not be severed after its birth, and instead, one would be dragged down and backlashed by the inner demon.

This was also the reason why Elder Xi had warned him earlier not to come to the Cycle-Breaking Love-Severing Well.

The inner demon within Ye Lin's body had clearly already formed a self-consciousness.

"This place is indeed eerie; I was actually invaded by an inner demon without even noticing."

Ye Lin took a deep breath, calming the emotional fluctuations caused by the recent fright.

There was no helping it; it was just like when you are on a plane preparing for takeoff and your homeroom teacher's face suddenly appears on the computer screen—would you be scared?

Realizing that both the Zhuge Qianxing in the well water and his own transformation into Zhuge Qianxing were merely the work of an inner demon, Ye Lin's mindset immediately relaxed.

"It's just a mere body; if the inner demon wants it, let it take it."

Ye Lin directly let go of his conscious defenses, allowing the inner demon to take control of his body.

As Ye Lin's consciousness sank into darkness, his body slowly returned to its original appearance, only now the person controlling Ye Lin's body was his inner demon.

Ye Lin's inner demon was stunned on the spot.

What was going on?

Was there anyone who would voluntarily hand over their body to an inner demon? Were they crazy?

At this moment, the Zhuge Qianxing in the well water also crawled out; there were actually two inner demons produced by Ye Lin!

The two inner demons looked at each other, clearly both somewhat bewildered.

"What's going on?" the first inner demon couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know!" the second inner demon spread his hands.

The act of handing one's body directly to an inner demon was so abstract that even the inner demons felt it was extremely abstract.

"I want to see what kind of trick he's playing. Let me see what this kid fears the most!"

The first inner demon, who had already occupied Ye Lin's body, sank into Ye Lin's world of consciousness.

A moment later, Ye Lin's body suddenly sat down cross-legged.

He began to automatically circulate the top-tier cultivation technique taught by the Immortal Cloud Sect, the Heavenly Heart Returning to Ruins Art!

Although this technique was top-tier, because its cultivation speed could not compare to directly devouring people, Ye Lin rarely practiced this Heavenly Heart Returning to Ruins Art.

Seeing Ye Lin suddenly start to practice, the second inner demon was dumbfounded.

"Hey? Brother, what's your situation? Say something!"

He shook Ye Lin's body, but the first inner demon ignored him entirely.

The second inner demon had no choice but to dive directly into Ye Lin's body.

As Ye Lin's inner demon, in a sense, he was a part of Ye Lin, only he had developed self-consciousness.

After sneaking into Ye Lin's body, the second inner demon saw the first inner demon sitting cross-legged at Ye Lin's dantian, doing his utmost to help Ye Lin practice the Heavenly Heart Returning to Ruins Art.

The second inner demon: "?"

That face of the second inner demon, identical to Zhuge Qianxing's, was full of question marks.

First, there was a host who handed his body to an inner demon, and now an inner demon was actively helping the host practice?

Had this world gone mad?

Was this reasonable?

"No, buddy, what are you doing? Why the hell are you helping him practice? Aren't you supposed to be exploring the deepest fears in his heart?"

The second inner demon couldn't help but question the first inner demon.

The first inner demon did not speak, only mindlessly circulating the Heavenly Heart Returning to Ruins Art.

"No, say something!" the second inner demon grew anxious.

"He won't pay attention to you. He is currently doing the thing I fear most in my heart, and the thing I fear most happens to be practicing the Heavenly Heart Returning to Ruins Art," Ye Lin's playful voice suddenly rang out from the side.

The second inner demon was stunned; could one even play like this?

"Bullshit! How could anyone fear this?"

The second inner demon hurriedly went to pull the first inner demon.

"Brother, don't be fooled, he's playing you!"

Ye Lin sighed faintly.

"How can I be considered to be fooling him? Have you ever heard of the Way of Sitting and Forgetting?"

"When a lie is something even I completely believe, then it is no longer a lie."

The second inner demon felt his scalp tingle.

Who exactly was the inner demon here?

Why was there a living person so wicked to this extent?

"Come, tell me, what do you want me to fear? I can fear practicing the Blood God Eternal Refining, or I can fear practicing the No-Thought No-Emotion Record, or I can fear studying arrays; you pick one?"

Ye Lin smiled, listing the things he knew one by one.

The second inner demon collapsed and couldn't help but roar.

"I won't pick anything! I won't become a tool for your cultivation!"

The second inner demon rolled his eyes, and then a fierce and vicious smile appeared on his face.

"I will take control of your body, slaughter thousands of living beings, let you be condemned by everyone, and let you bear the infamy of eternity! Let the rest of your life be lived in pain and guilt!"

Facing the inner demon's threat, Ye Lin nodded calmly.

"Oh, not bad. Slaughtering thousands of living beings in a day—that's about three hundred thousand in a month. You're very motivated."

The second inner demon: "?"

"By the way, after you finish slaughtering the living beings, remember to store their souls in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. I've refined nine of them; that should be enough for you to use for a while," Ye Lin continued.

"You the hell refined nine Ten Thousand Soul Banners?!" the second inner demon was shocked.

"Don't make a fuss. By the way, since you're so motivated, let me set a small performance target for you. Inner demons don't get tired and don't need rest, right?"

"Three months. I'll give you three months to kill one million living beings, store all their souls into the Ten Thousand Soul Banners, extract their blood with the Blood God Eternal Refining, and refine their corpses with Endless Devouring."

"Remember, you must kill one million living beings in three months. For every soul short, I will burn you with Nether Ghost Fire for ten days and ten nights to see if an inner demon can develop an inner demon."
