I suddenly remembered my master's words.
He said that demons and gods are born to be opposites.
Only one side can survive.
At that time, I did not understand the meaning of this statement.
Until I met Lou Wang and Xian Yao.
Two extreme individuals, two opposing stances.
I never wanted to believe my master's words.
It is only now that I realize my master was right.
In fact, I had been keeping a secret from them.
During my years wandering in the human realm, I took in many homeless Little Demons.
I settled them in the back mountain.
Internal conflicts often erupted within the demon clan.
Many weak demons had to leave their homes for self-preservation.
Most of these Little Demons had low cultivation and lacked the ability to protect themselves.
As a result, they were generally unwelcome among the demon clan.
I worried that Lou Wang would discover the demons in the back mountain.
Therefore, I shamelessly pleaded with Xian Yao, "Xian Yao, as long as you spare them, I can give you my inner core."
Xian Yao laughed wildly, "Sister, why do you need to beg me?"
"You killed those demons with your own hands."
What?
I stared at her in shock.
Memories surged uncontrollably into my mind.
A sound like shattering echoed in my ears.
A tearing force pulled at my soul.
I clutched my head in pain and fell to the ground.
I couldn't remember.
I couldn't remember anything.
Xian Yao stood at the door, backlit: "Sister, this is the Healing Bone Injury Medicine that Brother Lou Wang gave you."
"If you take it every day, it can alleviate the pain of Exorcise Bone."
"But you must remember, you cannot leave the palace even a step."
"Otherwise, you will die."
Memories flooded back once more.
Xian Yao's face twisted into a grotesque expression.
She continued to smile: "Liu Xia, do you remember the massacre you committed in the city?"
"Hahaha, at that time, you were surrounded by the demon clan, and everyone in the divine realm suspected you of colluding with them."
"Thus, they slandered you as a monster."
"But you clearly did nothing."
"That city is the one at the foot of our mountain!"
I shuddered all over.
This memory had been locked away for far too long.
So long that my mind had automatically ignored it.
But now, as I recalled it,
It felt like something was on the verge of surfacing.
Back then, the demon army suddenly besieged the city at the foot of the mountain.
The people of the Celestial Realm thought I was being attacked because of my past with Demon Lord Wu You.
They dared not act rashly and could only slander me with accusations of collusion.
But I knew very well that Wu You would not besiege a city without reason.
Unless he had a compelling motive to do so.
I worried he would mobilize forces to exterminate the demons of the mountain.
Even more so, I feared for my parents who were in that city.
Thus, I wanted to descend to the mortal realm to assess the situation.
But before I could speak, Lou Wang ordered an attack.
His unquestionable attitude filled me with dread.
Was he really going to kill the demons of the mountain?
"Are my parents still alive?"
Lou Wang said, "The Ascend of Xian Yao is imminent; you must not cause trouble."
"How about this? You will guard that city and protect the people within it."
"You are a demon; it is no harm for you to bear some bloodshed."
"But you must remember, do not harm the citizens of the city."
I clenched my fists, my nails digging deep into my palms.
It turned out he had never cared for my life or death.
He only cared whether Xian Yao could successfully Ascend.
I looked at her and asked slowly, "If I die there, would you be sad?"
Lou Wang's expression darkened. "Liu Xia, you need to understand your position."
"You are a demon; you should not foolishly hope for the love of the divine."
"Moreover, you nearly caused the death of Xian Yao; you must atone for your sins."
