Upon seeing my appearance, Ruoxi was taken aback, her face changing as she stammered, "You, when did you arrive?"
I looked at Ruoxi calmly, as if I hadn't heard her words, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ruoxi's expression seemed a bit off; she couldn't meet my gaze and buried her face down.
Seeing Ruoxi like this made my heart ache a little, so I said to her, "What's wrong? Don't you have anything to tell me?"
At my words, Ruoxi trembled slightly and said, "Wang Jun, you..."
I noticed the fear in Ruoxi's eyes and encouraged her, "Go ahead and speak."
Her face turned pale instantly as she forced a bitter smile. "You heard our conversation, didn't you? Are you stalking me?"
I shook my head and replied, "I'm not stalking you. I wanted to go to the Heavenly Realm to ask you something, but when I saw your troubled expression, I followed you."
Ruoxi's body stiffened as she looked at me and said, "You..."
I gazed at Ruoxi, feeling quite conflicted about whether to call her Ruoxi or A Yao.
Upon hearing my words, Ruoxi lost her composure completely. She stood up and exclaimed, "You... I..."
I maintained a calm expression and said, "I just want to know the truth. Can you tell me?"
"I didn't mean to. I have my own reasons. Can you forgive me? What that woman said is not true; what you heard is also not true," pain appeared on Ruoxi's face.
This made my mood plummet. I fell silent, not saying a word. Seeing my expression, Ruoxi sighed and said, "I am both A Yao and Ruoxi."
"What do you mean?" I stood up directly and stared at Ruoxi.
I knew that A Yao was not the same as before, but this statement was even harder for me to comprehend.
Ruoxi sighed again and explained, "Before you arrived at the Madness Realm, Ruoxi was attacked by demons. In a moment of carelessness, she was struck and was on the verge of death. I happened to pass by at that moment and helped her fend off the demon's attack. However, that did not save Ruoxi from the demon's grasp because the demon's poisonous blood had seeped into her body. If I didn't kill Ruoxi, she would become something like the demon. At that time, Ruoxi begged me to end her life. Seeing her in such pain, I killed Ruoxi and entered her body, becoming Ruoxi while inheriting all of her fates."
After Ruoxi finished speaking, the expression on her face became one of deep pain.
Seeing Ruoxi like this made my heart ache fiercely. For a moment, I couldn't tell who it was that I truly loved.
After a while, Ruoxi lifted her head to look at me and said, "Wang Jun, please say something. Don't be like this; it scares me."
I looked at Ruoxi and thought of that woman, so I asked her, "What is your relationship with that woman?"
Ruoxi sighed and replied, "Her name is Hong Chen. She is the leader of the Red Clan, a very mysterious group that exists in the Madness Realm and that world."
"At that time, I was also a member of the Red Clan and trained alongside Hong Chen. We were rivals during the selection process. When Hong Chen learned that I had entered Ruoxi's body, she found me immediately and proposed a deal. I didn't want to agree to her terms, but she threatened that if I refused, she would expose my identity to the heavens. I was terrified—not because of my identity being revealed, but because I feared that your fate would change because of me. You needed to have Ruoxi by your side."
When Ruoxi reached this point, I couldn't help but interrupt her. "Are you talking about the fate I've encountered before?"
Ruoxi nodded in response to my question. "Yes."
I urged Ruoxi to continue. She glanced at me and continued, "So I made a deal with that woman and agreed to her demands while secretly helping her. However, one day I inadvertently discovered that this woman had a very malicious heart; she directly killed an elder of the Red Clan and took over as leader. Not only that, but she also murdered several others. One time, I confronted her to ask why she was doing this, but she refused to let me interfere and even set her sights on you. She knew you would face a calamity brought by the heavens into the Madness Realm, so she waited for you at the entrance. When I found out, I fought her and used Divine Power to send her into the Dark Abyss. Recently, I've felt uneasy as if something terrible is about to happen, which worries me greatly. So I went to check on the Dark Abyss and found that its gates had been opened. This frightened me deeply, but there was nothing I could do."
After saying this, Ruoxi fell silent with a sigh, her eyes filled with helplessness.
Seeing this, I stepped forward and embraced Ruoxi. Surprised by my gesture, she said, "Wang Jun, does this mean you've forgiven me?"
I nodded and replied, "There's nothing to forgive; you've done so much for me without my knowing. Thank you, Ruoxi—no, I should call you A Yao now."
Upon hearing my words, Ruoxi blushed slightly and smiled as she said, "I still prefer you calling me Ruoxi."
"Alright, whatever you like to be called is fine with me. But there's one thing: if you ever encounter any trouble in the future, you must tell me. You can't keep it from me," I said while ruffling Ruoxi's hair.
After hearing what I said, Ruoxi nodded in agreement. Then something came to my mind, and I asked her, "Why did that woman come here? It seems she's involved in something significant."
"What's going on?" Ruoxi looked at me with confusion.
I nodded and said to Ruoxi, "Yes."
Then, I told her about the situation. Upon hearing it, Ruoxi's expression turned to one of surprise. After a moment, as if recalling something, she said to me, "You're right; I do know she has a sister."
"What do you mean? Are you saying the woman who died was her sister?"
Ruoxi nodded and then waved her hand in the air. In a moment, an image appeared before us.
It was a portrait of a woman.
I was immediately taken aback and exclaimed, "That's her!"
Ruoxi's face remained calm as she said, "She must be here to take revenge for her sister. That man is definitely going to die."
Her words sent a shiver down my spine. Suddenly, I remembered something and grabbed Ruoxi's hand, rushing toward the man's house.
"Ruoxi, we need to hurry; otherwise, something terrible will happen."
Ruoxi paused for a moment but then followed me to the man's house. By this time, it was already surrounded by a thick black mist, like a wall.
"Wang Jun, what's going on?" Ruoxi asked in confusion.
My expression grew serious as I tried to enter the mist but found it impossible to get through.
I frowned and said to Ruoxi, "Wait here for me."
With that, I pulled my spirit out from my body.
"Wang Jun, you need to be careful," Ruoxi said, her face filled with concern as she looked at me.
I nodded and stepped into the black mist. Before long, I heard Feng Ju's voice and immediately headed in her direction. I saw that many Undead were gathered around Feng Ju, but there was no sign of the woman.
Could it be that woman with Evil Arts?
I quickly absorbed all the Undead near Feng Ju into the Source of Darkness. Once the Undead were gone, Feng Ju took a deep breath and said, "That was close. You have no idea; as soon as you left, this place turned into this."
I glanced around; the black mist was slowly spreading. Just then, Ruoxi appeared before us.
Feng Ju looked very surprised to see Ruoxi and exclaimed, "Ruoxi, how did you end up here?"
I followed Feng Ju's lead and spoke up.
Feng Ju seemed a bit taken aback but didn't say much. It was then that I noticed the man was not by Feng Ju's side.
"What about that man?" I asked Feng Ju urgently.
Feng Ju paused for a moment before responding, "I left him in the room. But you don't need to worry; he is protected by my Spell."
A sudden sense of unease washed over me, and I rushed toward the room Feng Ju mentioned.
When we arrived, the room was completely empty.
"How could this happen? Did that woman take him?" Feng Ju looked bewildered.
I replied to Feng Ju, "Given the situation, it must be true. It's not surprising; we can't underestimate that woman's power."
Feng Ju seemed to process what I had just said before asking me, "What should we do now?"
Just as I was about to speak, Ruoxi suddenly said, "There's no need to rush; I know where she is."
Her words instantly brightened our spirits.
Ruoxi glanced at us and then said to me, "Let's go now."
I nodded and followed Ruoxi to a very strange place.
"What is this place?" I asked Ruoxi.
Ruoxi looked around and replied, "This is the Yin-Yang Cave, the most powerful form of Evil Arts from the Red Clan. Don't be fooled by the many inconspicuous little holes in front of us; there are many hidden dangers inside."
I squinted my eyes and picked up a small stone, throwing it towards the little holes. In an instant, white smoke billowed out from them, shattering the stone I had thrown.
"This place is dangerous. How do we get past it?" Feng Ju said, startled by the scene.
I thought for a moment and then used Heavenly Emperor's Light to redirect the little holes in front of us.
"Wang Jun, doing that will consume your energy," Ruoxi said, looking at me with concern.
After hearing Ruoxi's words, Feng Ju teased from the side, "Yeah, look how worried Ruoxi is for you. You need to treat her well; don't let her feel even a bit wronged. Although she isn't really Ruoxi, I think she is the best Ruoxi."
I looked at Feng Ju helplessly. Was he speaking in riddles?
"Alright, I understand. Let's go in. If we wait any longer, who knows what might happen."
We then entered the cave, but as we stepped inside, we heard the anguished cries of men.
My heart tightened immediately. I rushed in and saw men suspended in mid-air, their bodies being crushed by ghostly hands.
"That's the Hyakki Slash," Ruoxi's expression grew serious.
I paused for a moment and asked Ruoxi, "What is the Hyakki Slash?"
Ruoxi explained, "The Hyakki Slash is a type of Evil Arts. If we forcibly eliminate those Ghost Hands, that man will be in trouble."
At that moment, Feng Ju seemed to have thought of something and said to me, "Wang Jun, I have a solution."
After saying that, Feng Ju summoned many ghosts. These ghosts had no hands, and they began to wail, their cries sounding extremely tragic.
"What is going on?" I asked Feng Ju.
"This is Yokai summoning these Ghost Hands. The Ghost Hands possess ghostly traits and happen to match these ghosts perfectly."
As Feng Ju finished speaking, the Ghost Hands surrounding the man began to gather around the ghosts.
