The Heartless Demonic Cultivator Returns in the Sixth Year of the Pursuit-and-Regret Arc

Huai Zhen let down her wife.

She admitted she had been forced into it.

She couldn’t bring herself to kill someone to prove her Dao.

But she did it anyway.

There was no clearing her name.

Fortunately, the world of immortal heroes had a rebirth trope.

Huai Zhen found her dead wife’s soul and made a deal with the King of Hell so they could reunite.

On the day they met again,

the woman she loved wanted to sever all ties with her. “We’re even.”

Huai Zhen’s heart, not given to strong feelings, felt as though it had been dissected as she watched her leave.

She regretted it deeply and chased after her wife for five hundred years.

In the end, she lost her.

For the rest of her life, Huai Zhen passed away and ascended on the mountain where they had married.

A disturbance in the flow of time sent her back to the sixth year of her pursuit.

At that moment, Ren Yuanqi represented the immortal sects in their campaign against the demonic cultivators. “Why don’t you try being offered up to Heaven for a change?”

Huai Zhen gave up all resistance. “As you wish.”

The strongest demonic cultivator died at the hands of the immortal sect’s leader.

Years later, the sect leader held a grand wedding.

They say the one who bowed with her before Heaven and Earth was a substitute for the demonic cultivator.

It seems Sect Leader Ren still couldn’t let go of her ex-wife.

.

Ren Yuanqi broke the rules of the immortal sects and married a demonic cultivator.

In return, she was killed and offered up to Heaven.

She hated all demonic cultivators with every fiber of her being.

On the day she was reborn, she wanted to kill Huai Zhen.

Huai Zhen had always been cold and heartless, yet suddenly she seemed like a different person. “I found the Su Ling Herb you wanted on North Desolate Mountain.”

Ren Yuanqi tossed it aside and destroyed Huai Zhen’s spiritual meridians with a blow. “Get lost!”

Huai Zhen lay motionless on the ground, looking so miserable that Ren Yuanqi wondered if she had misunderstood her.

Later, before Huai Zhen came to offer herself up to be killed, Ren Yuanqi hated that her heart was too soft and she couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.

She took Huai Zhen, still barely alive, back to the immortal sect and went into seclusion.

One day, Huai Zhen disappeared right under her nose.

At the place where they had married, she took out a marriage contract Huai Zhen had written in demonic blood. “Can I still trust you this time?”
