Ling Youtang was reborn.
The Heavenly Dao had fallen into ruin, and demons were running rampant.
She died in the battle when the demon realm besieged the cultivation sects.
The first snowflake of winter fell on her eyelashes. In her daze, she seemed to see the Great Demon King, the one her martial uncles called cruel and tyrannical, kneeling beside her corpse.
The madness, burning pain, and love in his eyes left Ling Youtang completely baffled.
-
When Ling Youtang opened her eyes again, she found herself a hundred years in the past.
At that time, the cultivation world was still peaceful, and the Tianyan Sect was recruiting disciples in large numbers.
Ling Youtang volunteered to oversee the disciple selection, never expecting to see a familiar figure in the crowd.
A hundred years later, he would become a dark, bloodthirsty demon lord. Now, his ragged clothes were stained red with blood.
Rain washed over the earth, carrying the red blood past Ling Youtang's pure white shoes.
The cruelty in the boy's eyes was already beginning to show.
Moved by a moment of compassion, Ling Youtang saved him.
-
Ye Xiao's life was dark and hopeless. Abandoned by everyone, he had been steeped in the world's coldness.
Ling Youtang was the one who pulled him out of the abyss.
She taught him cultivation techniques, showed him how to distinguish good from evil, and cleansed the wicked bones throughout his body.
It turned out that even an abandoned, wretched creature of darkness could become a spirited young immortal lord.
-
Ling Youtang had taught Ye Xiao well. The calamity that had struck a hundred years later would surely never happen again.
So she left Ye Xiao a letter and prepared to seek out her senior brother, who was traveling far away in the human realm.
But before she could even descend the mountain, Ye Xiao blocked her way.
The sky was dim, and cold winds rose.
Moonlight outlined the boy's slender figure.
His face was familiar, yet the person before her seemed utterly strange to Ling Youtang.
"Senior Sister, where are you going?" Ye Xiao's voice was low, his dark eyes filled with obsessive madness. "Are you planning to abandon me?"
