Chapter 1519 567: The Final Battle (Part 4)_2

The news spread, causing an uproar across the country.

Under the fear of impending doom, the citizens who once adored and respected the Holy Daughter began to publicly petition:

"Please, Holy Daughter, save us!"

"Please, Holy Daughter, sacrifice for Yu Country!"

"This is your mission!"

"…"

Xiao Jiangye found it hard to believe how quickly the people's attitude could change.

Even the Emperor knelt on the ground: "Holy Daughter, save Yu Country..."

At the altar's edge, Xiao Jiangye looked at the citizens she had saved countless times, yet now she saw eyes scorched by fear and hope.

On the day of sacrifice, dark clouds loomed overhead.

In the square of the once-sacred temple, a huge pile of wood was stacked in the center.

The Holy Daughter was adorned in her most luxurious attire, yet bound by an invisible force, step by step moving towards the pile.

…

In this lifetime, Xiao Jiangye was pushed onto the altar by the citizens she once loved most!

Chen Sansi did not linger, continuing to search through one bubble after another for the location of Xiao Jiangye's primordial spirit, witnessing firsthand the tragic experiences life after life.

Family, friendship, love and more...

All things that should have been beautiful.

In Xiao Jiangye's experiences, they turned dark, heavy, brutal, and bloody!

Her reincarnations were countless!

Even though the memory is erased with each rebirth, it is still the same primordial spirit, experiencing repeated torture, ultimately undergoing changes bit by bit.

As time went on, Xiao Jiangye became indifferent to those close to her.

This was uncontrollable, subconscious!

In one life, even her biological father took her to a black market, triggering the reincarnation memory of "Eaten by the Child," directly using a dagger to kill her father.

But she later realized.

Her father just wanted to seek medicine to cure her.

This caused Xiao Jiangye to collapse more than any previous lifetime.

Thus repeats the cycle.

Xiao Jiangye's personality in each reincarnation became increasingly cold, guarded, ruthless, even cruel!

Chen Sansi felt the terrifying nature of Ding Xiu's ruthless methods once again.

The poison of the human heart could be no worse than this!

"Boom——"

The turbulent space became increasingly violent.

Chen Sansi could feel the Ent outside absorbing an immense vitality.

This evil aura, formed from previous cruel experiences, was accumulated through time.

It also signified the Ent had begun sacrificing all life, things were grim outside, his time was running out.

Chen Sansi began to traverse memory bubbles faster.

After accompanying Xiao Jiangye through countless reincarnations, he finally discovered a completely different bubble.

This world lacked a complete cycle and continually developed, extending into the future.

Which means…

Within it wasn't a memory.

Rather something Xiao Jiangye was experiencing!

Heart Demon!

Chen Sansi realized.

This was Xiao Jiangye's Heart Demon!

If he could bring her out, perhaps then he could control the Ent, with means to deal with Ding Xiu!

"Buzz——"

Chen Sansi didn't hesitate, immediately flew into the Heart Demon Domain, just entering the bubble he felt a terrifying power strike, engulfing him completely, depriving his senses, mana, even memory…

Damn!

This domain.

Would reincarnate him into Xiao Jiangye's Heart Demon.

Darn it!

How could he bring her out without his memory?!

However, the situation was dire.

He had no other choice but to unlock Xiao Jiangye's Heart Demon, relaxing his body, letting this terrifying power devour him.

…

Da Yong Dynasty, Tianbao year twenty-six, with chaos of war, people could not survive.

The two Jianghu sects, Canglang Sect and Xiyun Villa, also got involved in the local conflict, their centuries of legacy destroyed in the flames of war.

"Xiao Ye sister!"

A seven or eight-year-old boy ran wildly through the forest, finally finding the dusty, miserable little girl: "Xiao Ye sister, I finally found you!"

"Chen Shitou."

Little Xiao Jiangye spoke with vigilance tinged with impatience: "What are you here for?!"

"Of course to protect you!"

Chen Shitou's eyes were filled with unshed tears, bloodshot, yet he tried to keep his tone gentle and powerful when speaking to the girl.

"Protect me?" Little Xiao Jiangye snorted.

"Exactly."

Chen Shitou patted his chest, "I promised Master's wife, I would protect you well!"

"Not necessary!"

Little Xiao Jiangye huffed, turned her back, heading toward the deep, darkened forest.

"Xiao Ye sister, where are you going?"

Chen Shitou closely followed behind: "The sect is gone, both Master and Master's wife... Xiao Ye sister, you should follow me, I brought some silver, we can find a place to settle."

"Go our separate ways, stop following me!"

Little Xiao Jiangye continued ignoring him.

Chen Shitou had grown accustomed.

His junior sister, since childhood, showed unusual precocity, a "cold" precocity, naturally having an invisible barrier with people, guarding against all things.

Even against her father and mother.

Master's wife said.

Xiao Ye sister must have suffered too much in her past life to reincarnate with this personality.

Now, both Master and Master's wife are dead.

Without a Master, Chen Sansi couldn't have survived until today, being grateful, he had to take responsibility to care for his junior sister.

"Xiao Ye sister!"

He ran up again, though young, patiently persuading: "You better come with me, otherwise..."

However…

No matter how high Chen Shitou spoke.

Little Xiao Jiangye was unmoved, adamant on parting ways.

At this moment, noisy footsteps suddenly echoed ahead.

A group of men in black emerged from the darkness.

Upon seeing the two children before them, they were slightly taken aback.

"Why are there two brats here?"

"Isn't it obvious? They're from Xiyun Villa!"

"Boss, what should we do?"

The leader spoke solemnly: "Kill them all, cut the grass and root, to eliminate future troubles!"

"Understood!"

"Clang——"

A man in black drew his long blade, casually advancing towards the children, ready to easily dispose of them.

"Xiao Ye sister, hide behind me!"

Only seven-year-old Chen Shitou retrieved a sword case from his back, took out a Treasure Sword taller than himself, stood defensively in front of his junior sister, faced the approaching man in black, ready and alert.

This scene.

Caused the men in black to glance at each other, then laughed in unison.

"Kid!"

The man with the blade mocked: "At your age, you're just starting to learn swordplay, can you hold it steady?!"

Chen Shitou remained silent, his slender arms just lifted the Rainbow Sword, eyes red, like a little beast ready to erupt anytime.

"Quickly finish it, don't make extra trouble!"

The leader urged.

The men in black stopped delaying, casually swung the blade intending to cut the sword-wielding child in half.

After this swing.

He reflexively wanted to withdraw the blade.

But the expected scent of blood did not come.

Focusing his gaze, he was surprised to find the little swordsman had already appeared more than a yard away, smoothly dodging the blade.

"Sss~"

He clicked his tongue, immediately swung the second blade.

But the result was the same.

The little swordsman flashed, agilely avoiding the attack.

"Huh?"

The man in black was incredulous.

The other comrades started mocking him.

"Can't you even kill a child?!"

"Indeed!"

"That's embarrassing."

"Don't follow us anymore."

"…"

"Shut up!"

The man in black frowned, finally got serious, combining waist and horse, the blade whistled out.

Then the bizarre situation unfolded.

The little swordsman, like a nimble monkey, effortlessly avoided his attacks.

At such a young age, how could he possess such a remarkable movement technique?

"Damn it!"

The man in black cursed silently.

Today.

If he couldn't even kill a child, he really would have no place among them anymore.

Thinking this way.

His moves became increasingly violent.
