Chapter 403 Xue Lan and Her Inner Demon
"Xue Lan!"
Watching the girl disappear before his eyes, the inner demon, radiating dark demonic energy, turned to look at Xue Lan, who was standing in the turbulent flow of time and space, and gritted his teeth.
The Sun-Tracing Mirror, which had been shining brightly beneath Xue Lan's feet, had dimmed and now looked like a thin, ethereal shadow.
Xue Lan lowered her head, her round almond-shaped eyes filled with a mocking smile:
"I thought you were going to devour me completely before you found out!" Xue Lan's voice was a little hoarse, and the white frost on her body had spread to the woman's slender neck.
"Cough cough cough!" Xue Lan coughed twice, clutching her chest. Pale blue veins could even be seen on the side of her pale neck.
"Do you think you know a lot about... cough ah!"
Before Xue Lan could finish her sarcastic remark, a ball of dark demonic energy pressed her down onto the magic seal beneath her.
Xue Lan had already nipped the budding attempts of the ancestral tablets in the Thousand Crafts Workshop in the bud, and now the inner demons were no longer pretending.
The demonic energy kept changing, and Xue Lan saw the twisted and terrifying face of the inner demon.
The inner demon exerted tremendous force in its hand, looking as if it were about to crush Xue Lan's neck bones.
Xue Lan's eardrums were congested, and in her hazy state, she seemed to hear the sound of her bones cracking.
Just when Xue Lan thought she was about to be strangled to death by her inner demons in this time-space turbulence, the hand on her neck slowly loosened its grip.
The inner demon chuckled hoarsely, its voice strained and strained:
"Xue Lan, is this meaningful?"
Even if you send her away, even if you let her take most of the Sun-Tracing Mirror with her.
The inner demon laughed obsessively, appearing utterly deranged.
"Your demonic soul is now consumed by obsession; once I devour you..."
Xue Lan didn't want to ruin her body here, so she raised her hand to pry open the hand that the inner demon was using to choke her neck.
"so what?"
"Without the Sun-Tracing Mirror to reverse my cultivation back to its peak... cough cough..."
"Your cultivation level is at most at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"
Xue Lan gripped the inner demon's wrists with both hands, her tone relaxed:
"The Xuanhuang Sect has soul lamps. I lit mine with a demon soul back then... Hiss!"
The hand on her neck suddenly tightened its grip, and Xue Lan heard a "click" sound as bright red blood trickled from the corner of her lips.
The inner demon seemed to want nothing more than to perish together with Xue Lan right here.
Xue Lan, pinned to the ground, avoided looking into her irrational eyes and slowly closed them, appearing as if she were asleep.
The inner demon's fingers trembled, but in the end he still didn't strangle Xue Lan.
The inner demon's voice was deathly still, as if it had lost all hope:
"You knew all along..."
Just now, in order to lower the inner demon's guard, Xue Lan let the inner demon bite a few times into her demon soul. At this moment, the intense pain on the demon soul made her consciousness somewhat blurred.
I feel sleepy as soon as I close my eyes.
Listening to the voice of my inner demons made me even sleepier.
The inner demon grabbed Xue Lan by the collar: "You've been plotting against me all along!"
"You knew all along that you might lose control because of the Jin Yue Lake incident!"
The inner demon chuckled hoarsely, his tone tinged with sympathy.
"Xue Lan, you not only schemed against me, you even schemed against yourself!"
Xue Lan slowly opened her eyes, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible:
"Don't waste your energy."
"If you don't have the guts to go back to your original form at Jinguang's place, then just lie down next to me and wait for Xiaotong to come back."
The inner demon has other ways to restore its cultivation, one of which is to go to Chuan Jinguang in the Northern Region to retrieve its demonic body.
However, the inner demon isn't stupid, and it's highly likely that Ember will kill her.
The inner demon sat down next to Xue Lan, watching the person beside him panting like a dead fish.
"Why don't you just throw this broken body away?"
Xue Lan was no longer able to speak, so she softly transmitted her voice to her inner demon:
"What do you mean by a broken body? You were born with both metal and fire spiritual roots, a rare cultivation genius in the lower realms. And you call that a broken body?"
The inner demon's voice was indifferent: "To you, it's practically just a broken body."
Xue Lan smiled gently:
"Thank you for the compliment."
"If Xue Tong doesn't come back, are you just planning to die here with me?" the inner demon asked, looking at the turbulent spacetime around them.
The two are currently standing on this small section of the Sun-Tracing Mirror beneath their feet, and it won't last much longer.
"If we die here, what's the point of all the people who died before?"
Xue Lan gently opened her eyes and looked at her inner demon:
"I'll tell you a secret, but you're not allowed to pinch me."
Hearing the laughter in Xue Lan's tone, the inner demon instinctively felt that what Xue Lan was talking about was probably not a good secret.
But she still agreed to Xue Lan's request:
"Tell me, I won't pinch you!"
Xue Lan struggled to raise her hand to protect her neck.
"Have you always wanted to ask me why I'm so indulgent towards Xue Tong?"
"Because I made a deal with the forces behind her."
Xue Lan looked into the eyes of the inner demon:
"I'm responsible for repairing her soul and then sending her back. Someone behind her promised me..."
"Using my soul as a medium, I will turn back time to the day she and I were bound together..."
The inner demon was truly stunned this time, so much so that he forgot to reach out and grab Xue Lan's neck.
"Three days later... cough cough... if Xue Tong hasn't come back to save me by three days later!"
"I will return to more than ten years ago, when you were still sealed within my sea of consciousness..."
"When I die... you'll never be able to get out!"
The spacetime turbulence was extremely quiet, so quiet that only Xue Lan's voice could be heard.
His voice was hoarse, like that of a dying bird whose wings had been torn off and whose throat had been choked.
Every word was sung with heartbreaking sorrow as the final song was sung.
The inner demon dislikes Xue Lan, and Xue Lan dislikes the inner demon.
The two people disliked each other, but they couldn't separate completely.
Like yin and yang in the Bagua, the two can sometimes understand what the other does, but they can't quite empathize with each other.
This kind of overly familiar rivalry and struggle seems to have no end.
Like the real body under the sunlight and its shadow on the ground.
The inner demon's voice was also hoarse, like a wild cat pinning birds to the ground:
"Even if you use your soul as a medium, you won't live for more than three months after you go back!"
"Actually, I didn't suffer too much of a loss!"
Xue Lan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Her throat was injured, and when she laughed, her voice trembled as if she were breathing.
First one person was laughing, then two people were laughing.
In the endless darkness around them, their laughter was hoarse.
Having laughed enough, Xue Lan gently asked the inner demon:
"Did you order everyone at Jinyue Lake to self-immolate?"
The inner demon shook its head: "No..."
"Is that me?"
"It's not..."
Xue Lan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief...
The seal of the Sun-Tracing Mirror continued to descend, and there was no sound around.
