The past life of the Demon Child was nothing less than that of a Soul Demon!
Moreover, it was an exceptionally powerful Soul Demon that had already evolved into a Soul Demon King, just a hair's breadth away from evolving again into a being nearly akin to a Drought Demon, a terrifying entity!
However, this Soul Demon was quite unfortunate. Just as it was about to reach the same level as the Drought Demon, it encountered a master!
A Daoist practitioner equivalent to our Soul Demon at the Ninth Stage of Killing Intent, even Yin Shuai would kneel before him. He was an unparalleled expert with near-divine abilities!
Any Soul Demon that could grow to such formidable heights had likely taken lives. How could it expect to fare well when confronted by a master from the Taoist Sect? The outcome was predictable; this Soul Demon was inevitably subdued. However, the master was kind-hearted and did not immediately shatter its soul. Instead, he kept it by his side, teaching and guiding it day and night. After all, the Soul Demon was fundamentally different from the Drought Demon. The Drought Demon arose from corpses and wreaked havoc on lives, absorbing the essence of sun and moon to become a force that disrupted yin and yang and reversed life and death—an utterly unreasonable existence. In contrast, the Soul Demon was more like a spirit creature akin to Thousand-Eyed Tai Sui. Both were considered spiritual beasts under the protection of the Dao, and while they were both fierce, they represented two entirely different concepts.
Thus, the master chose to show mercy and did not dispose of this Soul Demon outright.
For over three hundred years, this Soul Demon dutifully followed the master around, believing that once the Taoist Sect master passed away, it would finally be free. Little did it know that the master had carefully observed it and concluded that even after three hundred years of guidance, it had not curbed its nature; it remained brutal!
To prevent this Soul Demon from causing havoc in the mortal realm after his passing, the master decided to take action!
Indeed, in the end, that master killed the Soul Demon.
When cultivators die, their souls do not return to the Underworld but go to an unfamiliar place. However, for the Soul Demon, it had to return to the Underworld because it had committed many killings in its past life. It didn't know how many lives had perished at its hands. Thus, upon its death, it was bound to face judgment and was thrown into the Yellow Springs for two thousand years of torment—almost leading to its demise. Just when it finally saw a glimmer of hope for reincarnation as a human, it ended up with Xu Zhi as its mother. Before it could even develop fully as an embryo, two Mifepristone Tablets were used against it.
How could the Soul Demon not be enraged?
Especially after coming into contact with the Taoist Sect's Descendant Talisman, its resentment surged even higher as memories of its past life flooded back!
It recounted all its experiences to Xu Zhi. Essentially, it wanted to convey that if she did not help fulfill its wishes, they would both face an inevitable confrontation!
The Soul Demon had a wish—to once again restore the Daoist Practice of its past life as the Soul Demon King. However, it needed Xu Zhi's help!
After hearing this, Xu Zhi could no longer refuse. Even to preserve her own life, she had no choice but to agree. Just as she nodded, the Demon Child lunged at her, and what happened next was inevitable.
At that moment, Xu Zhi felt a sharp pain in her scalp, as if someone was yanking her hair to tear her skin apart. When she looked in the mirror, she saw a large mouth opening on her scalp, filled with sharp fangs. Then the voice of the Demon Child echoed in her mind, instructing her to continuously feed this mouth; only then could it sustain itself. As long as she kept feeding it, Xu Zhi would be safe. But if the feeding stopped, it would mean her doom!
Hearing this made me sigh inwardly. Did this woman have any sense at all beyond her nauseating materialistic mindset? The Demon had been trapped in the Yellow Springs for two thousand years, finally waiting for a chance at reincarnation, only to have it thwarted by an abortion pill. Such hatred was a deep-seated grudge; did she really think that just because it was now a spirit it would let her off? This foolish girl actually believed it—she was already possessed and clearly being set up to lose her life, to be consumed for sustenance. How could she not see that?
Where was her common sense?
Perhaps people like her were the ones who sold themselves and even paid for it!
I shot Xu Zhi a cold glance. "So after you fed it for a while, it became unsatisfied and asked you to help harm others, right?"
Xu Zhi froze. "How did you know?"
Seeing her expression made it clear that this incident was likely tied to her. I instinctively clenched my fists, suppressing the urge to explode with anger. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I couldn't help but sneer. Was this really hard to guess? The greed of this Evil Spirit rivaled that of humans; give it something simple, and it craved something richer. Feed it once with meat, and it would want more—unless you killed it or scared it off. Trying to resolve things through compromise was nothing but a fool's dream!
Xu Zhi noticed my silence and didn’t ask further; we finally got to the details of the case.
After possessing Xu Zhi, the Demon Child feasted for nearly a week but soon grew dissatisfied with such slow progress in its Daoist Practice. It reappeared and demanded ten living sacrifices from Xu Zhi. This shocked her; she was just an ordinary person who usually lived freely but panicked when faced with matters of life and death. Deep down, she didn't dare comply. However, when the Demon Child gripped her neck with its icy claws, Xu Zhi caved in. After all, what’s a poor Daoist compared to a dead friend? That’s one of the most distinctive traits of modern people!
How would they lure ten people into this trap? That was the Demon Child's idea—using a Yokai Lantern!
Why use the Yokai Lantern? Because although the Demon Child had awakened memories from its previous life, its Daoist Practice wasn't strong enough yet to create Yin Puppets. It first needed to find someone with abundant Eerie Energy to extract their essence and restore itself!
However, everyone has Yang Qi protecting them. As long as the Yang Qi remains intact, with the Demon Child's level of Daoist Practice at that time, it was impossible to discern a person's true essence, making it difficult to determine which individual's essence would be suitable for it to collect in order to restore its Daoist Practice. Thus, the Demon Child came up with this gimmick to play with the Yokai Lantern!
First, it could attract living participants with this novel Supernatural Game. Second, during the game, participants would experience fear, causing their Yang Qi to significantly decrease. This would expose all their physical strengths and weaknesses!
It was a clever plan that achieved two goals at once!
After hearing this, Xu Zhi also found it feasible and sought out friends. Some of them were thrill-seekers who had nothing better to do and were eager for excitement. Upon hearing about Xu Zhi's "stimulating" game, they immediately began to organize it. Unfortunately, this Supernatural Game was quite terrifying; despite their efforts, they managed to gather only nine people.
The Demon Child needed at least ten participants!
In a panic for her own life, Xu Zhi started brainstorming other ideas. At that moment, she happened to hear that Chai Jingjing was short on cash, so she decided to target her. She took twenty thousand from the money given to Chai Jingjing by a Rich Handsome Guy and tricked her into joining!
With enough people gathered, the game commenced. Unfortunately, that night, the Demon Child specifically targeted Chai Jingjing because among all the girls present, she was the only one still a virgin, making her Eerie Energy particularly potent!
The subsequent events unfolded smoothly. After wreaking havoc on Qin Keke and nearly draining Chai Jingjing dry, the Demon Child finally restored its Soul Demon abilities and began to cling to the other girls who had participated in the game to claim their lives as Yin Puppets. Just as it was about to finish creating ten Yin Puppets, I showed up. The Soul Demon had already been injured by me and realized that my existence posed a threat. So it had Xu Zhi set up a scheme called Inviting the Monarch into the Jar to lure me into its home, where the Soul Demon commanded its Yin Puppets to eliminate me. If I hadn't had some tricks up my sleeve, I probably wouldn't have made it through that night!
This woman’s depravity is one thing; what she did is no different from murder!?
My anger was finally becoming too much to contain.
