[Dark, Unhinged Demon Lord Gong × Long-Suffering, Self-Destructive Master Shou]
“In my past life, you gouged out my spiritual core and cast me out of the sect... How dare you claim you'll protect me with your life in this one?”
Xie Feng was reborn on the eve of killing his master, only to discover that...
his most hated master held a secret powerful enough to overturn the Five Realms.
He once made him kneel in the snow all night as punishment... never knowing that buried beneath the snow was a thousand-year-old warm jade that suppressed his inner demon.
He sealed his cultivation with Immortal-Binding Cords... never telling him that the chains were soaked in phoenix blood that could shield him from heavenly tribulations.
He gouged out his spiritual core with his own hands... but after Xie Feng's soul was scattered, he sacrificed his immortal bones to reverse time and space.
Only when Xie Feng shattered the Mirror of Retracing Time, and black iron chains pierced the man's pipa bones,
did he see the pale face of the Immortal Venerable reflected in the cold pool, with curse marks winding like snakes around his wrists.
It was the life-bonding pact his master had placed on him a hundred years ago.
“You want peace for all under heaven? I'll give you clear rivers and calm seas.”
“You want freedom? I'll give you a soul scattered to the winds.”
“But if what you want is...”
The chains clinked softly. The Immortal Venerable, his hair white as snow, looked up, his voice hoarse.
“A Feng, come here.”
In this soft, mortal world, your master will walk beside you.
[Two male leads, xianxia cultivation, younger disciple and older master. A tragic ending in the past life, mutual devotion in this one. The story of an unhinged gong finally learning how to reform.]
It's a bit messy and takes a lot of brain work.
