No one expected Yin Xuezhuo to be so courageous, to show up his demeanor in such a grand manner. 

Shao Bai had caused a notorious reputation before and had already spooked the snakes so he had no patience to stay in the city any longer. So these days he had been preparing to go to the Kunning Sect forbidden area to look for Yin Miaorou, so for the time being, no one paid any attention to Yin Xuezhuo again.

It was well known, Kunning Sect has two forbidden places.

One was the canyon under the cliff, and the other was the Refining Abyss.

Almost the entire cultivating world knows where Refining Abyss was. It’s just that since Yin Xuezhuo rushed out from under Refining Abyss that year, he destroyed it into a mess, and the demonic beasts under Refining Abyss wandered around the barrier. 

So the Kunning Sect widened the boundaries of the forbidden area a lot, and strictly forbid all disciples from approaching it, so as not to be fooled by some demonic beasts and be trapped forever.

Almost none of the disciples who had been near the Refining Abyss survived.

Death was the best outcome, but it was a forbidden fruit for most people. They could only watch their bodies being swallowed by countless demons, their souls being torn apart until they become neither human nor ghost, and finally, their souls fly away.

It was one of the hell place, but they imprisoned Yin Xuezhuo there for so long.

The next day.

Before the sky could brighten, everyone got up and prepared to set off for searching. After getting ready, they started to walk up the mountain to the Kunning Sect. Following behind, Ji Yan had a hard time holding her skirt and walking forward. After walking for some distance, she felt Yin Xuezhuo was missing. Looking back, she found him near the Refining Abyss. As long as he took a step forward, he could touch the invisible magic circle.

She was so frightened that she carried her skirt and rushed towards him, regardless. Feeling her breath, he turned around and she just happen to slam her head into his chest and nearly fell down only to be held up by him.

“You…” her cheeks flushed. Before she could say anything, he smiled a little sarcastically, “Thought I cannot think straight?”

Ji Yan frantically nodded her head, like a chicken pecking at rice, he placed his hand on the top of her hair, and said lightly while looking at her: “Of course I won’t.”

“I’ve been down there myself, and I know how scary it is, so why I have to drag you down.”

He closed his eyes, and by the time he opened them again, his expression returned to normal, bypassing her, slowly keeping up with the crowds that had gone so far in front of him. Ji Yan glanced at Refining Abyss then ran to catch up with him. “Why didn’t you completely destroy it before?”

“Why destroy it?” As he shuttled between the flowers and trees, a faint fragrance stained his hair, and the scenery and the fragrance at the moment were soothing to everyone, but his tone was unexpectedly cold. “Wouldn’t it be more fun if I abandoned them myself and threw them into the abyss?”

The chaotic aura of the Refined Abyss might have awakened a bit of bloodthirsty madness in him. His eyes were faintly red, and she couldn’t tell whether it was the reflected flower shadow or the paranoid madness in his bones.

His long hair fluttered behind him and a trace of wickedness could be seen on his untroubled face. It was clearly a very serious disciple’s suit, but it also made him wear a bit of evil.

As he looked at the backs of Shao Bai and Kong Yu ahead, his eyes getting darker and darker.

It was them.

Who brought him to this point, impaled him with a cold chain, cut off his scales, and threw him into the Refining Abyss, laying a net of heaven and earth, making him unable to break free.

This was the Kun Ning Sect, the place where he grew up.

It was also his nightmare.

The deepest darkness in his heart crawled out of the abyss like a poisonous snake, hissing and spitting red letters, and those lowly and unsavory things that were hidden under the skin were turned over to his eyes in blood.

He suddenly laughed and said to Ji Yan beside him: “Do you know why Wan Qiujian wants to kill me so much?”

“Why?” Ji Yan was a little curious to know why he suddenly brought up this topic.

“It was originally born from the same lineage as me, and was not hostile to me, and when I was defeated and captured back then, they were here.” He pointed to the place where he had just stood before, laughing wildly, his eyes flushed, “They took Wan Qiu Jian, and cut off my scales one by one.”

“…” Ji Yan followed his words and looked there, shivering for no reason.

He was smiling very happily, as if he was reminiscing about something very happy, but Ji Yan heard the deep madness in his words, “Wan Qiu Jian after eating my flesh and blood, its cultivation base has greatly increased. Since it has tasted the benefits of symbiotic mutilation, it certainly wants to kill me, absorb my strength, and swallow me completely.”

He was betrayed time and time again.

He saved Yin Miaorou with his life, but only to be regarded as a wicked evildoer by her, and was forced to the brink of extinction by her.

Co-existed with Wan Qiu Jian, relying on each other in the past, but now Wan Qiu Jian wanted to swallow him.

Ji Yan felt a little uncomfortable, she reached out and pulled the corner of his coat, “Alright, don’t say it.”

Looking at him, she suddenly stood on tiptoe, plucking a begonia from a tree on one side and tucking it in her hair, asking him, “Yin Xuezhuo, does it look good?”

With a smile, she lifted the hem of her skirt and twirled it in front of him.

She thought of the words to make him happy, but before she could say them aloud, she was pinched hard by her chin and pinned on a tree to the side.

Her eyes widened due to sudden action, looking at the backlit man, his eyes were so cold now it was looking strictly at her.

The Begonia on top of her head swayed and fell on his shoulder, falling full of fragrance.

He squeezed her chin, the bottom of his eyes rolled over with stormy emotions, and he warned in a hoarse voice: “If you ever thought of betraying me, I will throw you into the Refining…”

Before the words were finished, she hugged him, followed him obediently, and said: “I will never betray you.”

“I love Zhuo Zhuo, and I am willing to be with Zhuo Zhuo forever.”

His expression lurched, his hand holding her chin relaxed a little, his cold nostrils intertwined with hers. She raised her hand and touched his face, feeling a little distressed in her heart.

He was always so insecure, no matter how many times had she said it, she still couldn’t convince him completely that she liked him.

“Cough, cough.” Kong Yu slowly fell behind, coughing in no uncertain terms, separating the two intimate people immediately.

Ji Yan’s cheeks flushed, and she glanced at Kong Yu with a bit of embarrassment, and Kong Yu snorted in his heart.

As he walked, he felt that two people were missing. When he turned his head, his soul almost left him. He didn’t expect these two people to be so courageous to stand under the tree and kiss each other, which shocked him.

What are you doing? In broad daylight, you two are so big-hearted that you are not afraid of being exposed, but what if he is exposed!

Kong Yu hurriedly reminded them, then glared at Ji Yan, and before Yin Xuezhuo could lost his temper, he quickly caught up with Shao Bai in front of him.
