Chapter 111: The Protagonist’s Destiny Song Qingshi sincerely thanked Lady Nian for the gift and said that he would work hard to answer the problems and live up to the lady’s expectations. Lady Nian was dazed upon hearing it. She turned her head and saw shenjun holding back a smile. She realized that the revenge she’d been preparing for for a millenia was nothing but folly. She felt even more deeply that beautiful men were all inhuman. Her heart felt all stifled. Later, she was going to grab a few more little white faces and lock them up in the dark room to vent her anger. Xian Ling Island’s female cultivators and the disciples of Heaven Martial Sect cooperated tacitly. After an hour, all the formations were set up and in place. Lady Nian initiated the tracking formation. The god traced all the Foul Demons within the formation and used the Blood King Vines to destroy them all. Heaven Martial Sect lost more than thirty people in the Demon Tide, with many more who had injuries of various severity. However, compared to past Demon Tide calamities, this could be regarded as an overwhelming victory. Everyone cried tears of joy as they embraced each other. The Luminous Dragon slipped back in. He’d been storing up tears of grievance. Just when he opened his mouth to call out ‘mommy’, Yue Wuhuan immediately silenced his voice and threw him out to guard the door. Yuwen Yan hurried over. He thanked the god for his help and asked, “Where is my son?” Song Qingshi was a little puzzled, “Aren’t he and Jincheng with you?” He hadn’t seen Song Jincheng in Xun Xian Peak. He assumed that that bear kid had secretly gone to look for Yuwen Yu to play and Yuwen Yu spent most of his time cultivating with his father…He presumed that when the Demon Tide came, Yuwen Yan must have protected his son, right? Unexpectedly, Yuwen Yan also thought that Yuwen Yu had gone to Song Jincheng to play. He presumed that the two of them were safe under the protection of the god. But it turns out that neither side had them? The Demon Tide had receded, but they were missing. This wasn’t good news.
Yuwen Yan was nearly hopping about in anxiety. Song Qingshi was also very worried. He urged Yue Wuhuan to look for them. Yue Wuhuan had Lady Nian change her tracking formation. He released his mental probe on a large scale, carefully looking through every tree and blade of grass in Heaven Martial Sect. Finally, eight hundred li away, at the foot of Yu Xiu Peak, he found traces of the both of them. The situation didn’t seem good. Everyone got on board Lady Nian’s ship and hurried away. At the side of a brook on Yu Xiu Peak, there were traces of a fierce fight. The chopped up remains of five Foul Demons were scattered everywhere. Yuwen Yu’s sword had long been broken off. He was holding onto Song Jincheng, who was covered in blood, his left hand broken, and a hole torn into his abdomen. He tried to press Song Jincheng’s intestines back in. He tried so hard that blood got everywhere, but no matter what, he simply couldn’t get it to stay. He was a young boy who’d enjoyed success, high-spirited and vigorous; he has never encountered such a terrible thing before. Yuwen Yu’s mind went blank. He kept feeling for Song Jincheng’s breath, crying and begging, “Hold on. Just hold on. Someone will come to save us…” Song Jincheng spit out a thin stream of blood and gradually stopped breathing. “Father! Elder Wang! Where are you?!” Yuwen Yu couldn’t stop his tears. He cried frantically, “Anyone! Hurry! Save Jincheng! Save us!” We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts. He and Song Jincheng had snuck out, secretly riding on a spirit horse, heading out to play in the city. On the way, they suddenly encountered five powerful Foul Demons. They descended from the sky and attacked, cutting off the spirit horse’s head. The two rolled off the cliff and suffered a lot of injuries. Ktf Mbei Gfwbcr jaf atf rqlgla tbgrf jcv mjwf ibbxlcu obg atfw, obiibklcu atf rmfca bo yibbv.

The Chubu Pill slowed down the movement of the demon. Yuwen Yu grabbed that opportunity to take out his sword and giving it all he had, killed the Foul Demons. However, Song Jincheng’s injury was too serious. He had exhausted all the hemostatic pills but he couldn’t slow down the rate at which he was passing away. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I’m so useless.” Yuwen Yu cried desperately, “Jincheng, don’t die. We’re going to eat buns from Rong Gui Lane and drink the wine from Tai Bai Pavilion. We’re going to go to Twelve Lane and watch flower ladies dance. We’re going to go to Nan Yue City’s Ghost Lantern Festival. Don’t leave me alone. Someone’s going to come save us…” He cried and cried and begged and begged. …… Suddenly, a violent wind swirled up the fallen leaves. Yuwen Yu raised his head and was surprised to see a resplendent magic ship appear in the sky. Song Qingshi already knew the condition of their injuries. He was in a hurry to land, so he jumped out of the magic ship and flew over on the Red Lotus Fire. He pushed away Yuwen Yu who was crying like a fool, stuffing him into his father’s arms. He then applied all the golden needles, performing emergency measures such as resuscitating the patient’s lungs and heart.
Yue Wuhuan was used to serving as his assistant. He stepped forward to help sew up the wound on Song Jincheng’s abdomen. He then pressed it back and wrapped it tightly with a bandage. He found his tattered left hand in the mouth of a Foul Demon. Song Jincheng began to breathe again. “Six-body Huiyang Pill, Qi Nourishing Powder dissolved in eight parts spirit liquid. Nine Revolution Blood Lotus Pill or a Yang Condensation Body Pill?” Song Qingshi saw that the first aid was successful and had Yue Wuhuan take out the blood-supplementing and life saving pills. Once they were diluted and a bit was poured into the patient’s mouth, his vital signs finally stabilized. Yue Wuhuan used the Blood King Vine to make a simple stretcher, steadily lifting him up onto the magic ship which then returned them to Heaven Martial Sect. Song Qingshi immediately performed abdomen and hand surgery on Song Jincheng at Heaven Martial Sect. He then made a long list of all sorts of precious medicines to regenerate limbs and restore the body so that Yue Wuhuan could have them sent over. Song Qingshi went without sleep or rest for two whole days. Finally, he managed to drag this bear child back from death’s door. Song Jincheng woke up and after listening to the situation, he looked at the bandages on his body and his temporarily immobile left hand. After thinking about it for a long time, he cautiously concluded, “Since I’m injured like this, my parents won’t hit me for failing my exams and running away from home, right?” Song Qingshi: “???” …… Yuwen Yu suffered some external wounds but nothing that would prove to be a major hindrance.
He was given a ferocious whipping by his father and was made to kneel at the ancestral hall for three days. After his self-reflection, he ran to Song Jincheng, pouring him tea and water, acceding to every request, waiting upon him very attentively.
After Yuwen Yan knew the whole story, he was not too embarrassed to stop him again. So, with one eye open and the other closed, he put up with his son continuing to have dealings with this unpleasant boy. So long as he doesn’t go too far… Song Jincheng was very capable when it came to ordering somebody about. The pears needed to be sliced and cut into flowers, and the grapes needed to be de-seeded and peeled. After lying down for three days, he bellowed out his grievances, complaining about how his entire body felt unwell. He wanted to read the latest novel, so Yuwen Yu immediately rode his spirit beast down the mountain that very night and knocked on the door of the bookstore to buy it for him. Before daybreak, it was already by his bedside. Song Qingshi finished his business at hand and came across Yuwen Yu who had traveled by night. He suddenly found that his blinding protagonist’s halo had disappeared. Song Qingshi thought he must have seen wrong, so he pulled Yuwen Yu to somewhere brighter to have a careful look. After confirming he was correct, he became a little puzzled. He pondered for a long time, but couldn’t understand it, so he told Yue Wuhuan. Yue Wuhuan was constantly swamped with numerous affairs. He had never read junk reading like novels. He thought for a moment, “From the information I got from Zhao Ye, every protagonist who needs saving has been arranged with a botched story. I think this time the Demon Tide must have been the key. If the Inextinguishable Peak had not intervened, Heaven Martial Sect would have been destroyed. Maybe… it would have brought about Yuwen Yu’s tragic fate. But he’s already a Core Formation cultivator, how would they have made him miserable?” Both of them seldom read novels. They talked about it from the perspective of science students for a long time but to no avail. Song Qingshi suddenly had an idea. He thought of Song Jincheng, an expert who never went anywhere without a novel in hand. He dragged along Yue Wuhuan to Song Jincheng’s sickbed. Then, leaving out the beginning and the end, changing the details while keeping the essence, keeping it all hypothetical, he set up a protagonist similar to Yuwen Yu and let Song Jincheng guess what kind of novel it would be. “Of course, it’s a revenge story! A very good one,” Song Jincheng took out the “Swordsman’s Revenge” from his pile of novels without the slightest hesitation. Recommending it, “The one I have on hand is very similar. A sunny and kind-hearted male protagonist suffered the tragedy of having his entire sect annihilated. Not only did both his parents die but his fiancée also died to save him…He was filled with hatred and was determined to take revenge. Along the way, he encountered all kinds of opportunities and fortuitous encounters. He obtained the treasures of heaven and earth, magical artifacts and inheritances, spirit beasts and magical pets. And when he was gravely injured, there was even a beautiful medical immortal who threw herself into his arms…Finally, he became a mighty power in the immortal realm and defeated the evil villain.” Yue Wuhuan was silent, not saying anything. This sort of development went beyond the scope of his logic. Song Qingshi’s mouth twitched, he wanted to know what the hell was ‘a beautiful medical immortal who threw herself into his arms’?
Yu Wenyu came in with midnight snacks just in time to hear him. He angrily cursed, “His fiancée died to save him. He has failed to be faithful to her memory. He should diligently cultivate. He still has the audacity to flirt with other beauties? This sword cultivator has corrupt morals. He’s bad news!” He set down the midnight snacks and seeing Yue Wuhuan, sincerely apologized, “I originally misunderstood the Inextinguishable Peak, but now… I am really ashamed. Shenjun’s kindness will be engraved in my heart. In the future, I will practice hard and I will never again listen to those messy rumors. My father has also said should the Inextinguishable Peak have any orders for us, Heaven Martial Peak shall accomplish it at all costs.” Song Qingshi was puzzled, “What do you mean by messy rumors?” Yuwen Yu said, feeling abashed, “Many people think that the Foul Demons were created by the Inextinguishable Peak. I… I too once believed in these kinds of rumors. It was utterly foolish. I swear, whoever dares to say this sort of nonsense in front of me in the future, I shall cut him down!” When the Demon Tide struck, shenjun killed all the Foul Demons and guarded everyone in Heaven Martial Sect. How could such a good person have anything to do with the Foul Demons? ! Even those dark rumors before must probably be false! Yuwen Yu was moved to tears. He decided he was going to place his faith in the Inextinguishable Peak all his life. He was going to repay this kindness. Anyone who dared to say anything bad about shenjun was no good! Heartless Song Jincheng thought the rice porridge, his midnight snack, was too hot. He kicked up a fuss and refused to eat it. All other thoughts were driven from Yuwen Yu’s mind and he quickly blew on the rice porridge to cool it off. Song Qingshi took the opportunity to drag Yue Wuhuan with him to take their leave… By now, they probably sorted out the destiny arranged for Yuwen Yu by the system: Song Jincheng played truant and went to Heaven Martial Sect to find Yuwen Yu to play. When the Demon Tide came, Heaven Martial Sect was destroyed, Yuwen Yu escaped by chance, but lost his parents and close friend. His heart was filled with hatred for the Inextinguishable Peak and he embarked on the road of revenge. The hidden hand behind the scenes has always hated Yue Wuhuan. It would definitely create various opportunities for Yu Wenyu to help cultivate smoothly and reach the top.
Song Qingshi’s mission was probably to use pills and his medical skills to help Yuwen Yu defeat Yue Wuhuan… However, after the system was made to explode and the original information was destroyed, it was left unable to interfere with the progression of the mission. Song Qingshi once again ignored the mission and Yue Wuhuan ran to find him. The two of them took Song Jincheng to Heaven Martial Sect. This was completely unexpected and the plot was thrown off track. Now, Yuwen Yu has become a fan of the Inextinguishable Peak, the first to draw his sword against anyone who dared to cause trouble for Yue Wuhuan… And so, Yuwen Yu lost the protagonist’s destiny. The hidden hand could no longer use this chess piece for its succeeding plans… But, it would never give up. Song Qingshi was deep in thought when he suddenly felt the ground shake again. He quickly asked, “Is there another earthquake?” “No,” Yue Wuhuan closed his eyes lightly, “It’s An Long. He’s gone mad. I’ll send my avatar go and take a look.” …… In the endless abyss, the monster bound in the seal struggled frantically. He let out a roar like a dragon. Foul black demonic energy radiated all over his body. Pained, he whipped his tail, thrashing against the stone wall. Huge fragments of the wall fell. The seal was on the verge of collapse. Yue Wuhuan slashed at his head with a double edged sword made of condensed fire.
The monster roared and the wound quickly regenerated. Over the years, Yue Wuhuan has tried various means to kill An Long. He has tried burning him, using the Nirvana Butterflies, strangling him, He has also tried curses, freezing, poison, corrosion, piercing his heart with countless weapons, etc. Some of the damage couldn’t penetrate through his body’s defense. Some could deal damage but he would quickly regenerate. He had even, at one time, after discussing it with An Long, placed this monster body into the Phoenix flames and burned it for three months. However, no matter what he did, he couldn’t completely burn it to ashes. After the burning stopped, his body was made even more twisted by the fire and tempered to be stronger. An Long’s madness became even more serious, leading to the need to add more and more layers to the seal. Now, he could only use countless Blood King Vines to tightly bind the violent monster, subduing him. Yue Wuhuan then bore down on the seals to make him fall asleep. The monster had already lost his reason, and the time he spent asleep was getting shorter and shorter. All it thought about was rushing out of the endless abyss and start killing. This was not a good turn of events… He needed to work with Song Qingshi to find a solution as soon as possible.
