‘’Hong… Yue?’’

In the silence, the truth was made known.

It came with a chill unlike any other. The raging storm clouds above held their peace briefly as the slayer rose to her feet and stared at the demon before her long enough for her eyes to water.

‘Hong Yue!’’

‘’Hong Yue.’’

‘’Hong Yue—!’’

Then there was a dramatic pause in the wheel of her past memories as she was reminded all at once the number of times she had been familiar with that name. Then a scene in which she remembered herself peek

    Ruan Yu swung one of her twin blades at the demon whose senses of sight and touch had been taken away from him, and his response to the loss was disturbing. Inches before the karmic blade would harm him, the demon raised one of his palms, which had a similar inscription of his curse mark etched on it in dark gold and black moving lines. The karmic blade froze inches from the demon’s palm, held back by a force so strong that it stirred the broken environment around them and made the world appear darker.Ruan Yu straightened and watched as the demon calmly held back her karmic blade before destroying it into a thousand untraceable pieces. The force of his magic was so strong that Ruan Yu was thrown back a few feet with one of her arms covering her face.The demon slowly returned his arm to his side and forced himself to recover from the karmic points from within. The thought that there was a weapon strong enough to harm him and weaken his cultivation this much alarmed him. The destructi

Then a scene in which she remembered herself peeking at him from behind a cloud and she called him with so much sincerity and innocence it broke Ruan Yu’s mind completely.‘’Grand Divine Being, Hong Yue!’’Ruan Yu gasped as she pulled herself out of that suffocating pool of memories. It felt like she had been drowning for a long time and a hand had just pulled her out of that choking misery.She stared at the demon before her again with eyes wide in horror. Even the wind stilled between them as those long, unique strands of hair fell over his

    She strolled in looking different and carrying a different aura. The doctor they trusted to cure Sheng Meng’s paralysis, the one who told them her elder sister would be arriving soon for her marital blessings with her husband. She carried with her a cold and chilling presence, one that contradicted her warm and pleasant character they had met and known earlier.Maman and Ruan Yu stared at the doctor for the longest time before Maman turned to her master and said, ‘’Master. That’s not the doctor, it’s something else disguised as the doctor.’’Ruan Yu stared at her artifact and Maman nodded quickly that she was telling the truth.‘’The clinic is empty and filled with hay. I saw a well-preserved body that I suspect is the real doctor that thing must have harmed and hidden inside the clinic.’’‘’She must also have done something to Sheng Meng to make him this aggressive and hostile to his friends!’’Ruan Yu’s eyes moved to the limp body of Sheng Meng still trapped under the rubble of the

    In the still White Fox Spirit forest, a slayer had been cornered by nearly twenty puppet soldiers. They looked like oddly shaped scarecrows, except they were not made with straw or hay. Real human bones of Ji Yang’s latest victims, the remains of their junior slayers, had been used to create these mindless puppets.Ruan Yu observed their still and lifeless forms for a while, trying to predict their move. Her ankles were sore and inflamed now. Her martial skills would be hindered and she hoped it wouldn’t be the reason she would be fatally injured in this.Sen Luo was still very much unconscious. How great was that first blow from the mimic doll to have a whole senior demon slayer lying there unconscious for so long?Or was he dead?Ruan Yu tried not to think too much about it and focused.If I kill the master pulling the strings of these puppet soldiers, I should be able to save both myself and Sen Luo in time to return to the hut.But…How do you even kill a mimic doll?“Ji Yang, you

    The door of the clinic was destroyed as Maman’s body floated through the tiny pieces of wood and nails. But the living artifact got a hold of her body midair and stopped herself by placing her left foot on a tall watchpole behind her and several yards from where the fake clinic was.Dust and sand floated everywhere and settled as Maman slowly looked up at the open entrance of the clinic to see clearly who had just attacked her from behind, and she had to escape being beheaded immediately with her secret move.Her heart raced at the thought of the clinic being a lie and so many other things.'If the rotten body of the doctor was what I had just seen in there, then… then who was currently with Master and Master Sen Luo?'Maman gasped when six terrible poisonous blades moved towards her at alarming speed. The living artifact, with impressive and almost inhuman flexibility, moved and avoided each blade without a single scratch midair before slowly grounding her foot back to the soil. Slow

    It came with a lot of joss paper. Ruan Yu and Sen Luo stood up to the threat standing on a tree branch, with half of his face completely covered by a dark hood. With their eyes on the mystical joss paper that fell on them like snow from the sky, they felt a certain darkness descend upon them, accompanied by a breeze so fierce that it blew sand into their eyes when they weren’t looking. Both Ruan Yu and Sen Luo moved back a bit, holding on to each other's hand as they did. “Are you all right?” Sen Luo was the first to recover and turned to Ruan Yu with concern when she took longer to open her eyes. Ruan Yu nodded to indicate that she was all right before slowly opening her eyes. They both stood before the entity shrouded in darkness. His dark lips, visibly cracked with dryness, and the smell of death lingered around them. Ji Yang. Ruan Yu called out within herself as she readied herself for an attack. It felt as though the environment responded to the thought of that entity’s na
