As the first disciple of Elder Suyang of the Jingyun Sect, Yi Qinglan was sent down the mountain by her sect to exterminate demons. But on the way, she accidentally inhaled a fox demon's enchanted incense and passed out, tumbling into the room of a strange woman.
The woman wore a black robe and was shrouded in mystery, aloof and beautiful as a black lotus in a secluded valley. With a wave of her hand, she dealt with the troublesome demon, then helped Yi Qinglan recover from her injuries and gave her a token.
Yi Qinglan couldn't stop thinking about the woman. Then, on another trip down the mountain, she met her again.
The woman fought alongside her on the demon-hunting mission and protected her at every turn. When it was over, she warmly invited Yi Qinglan to visit her home.
Without realizing it, Yi Qinglan had already fallen for her.
It wasn't until the treasure they'd won by slaying demons was stolen, and she and her fellow disciples were kidnapped and taken to the Demon Realm, that Yi Qinglan finally understood:
The woman was the legendary Demon Venerable, renowned for her ruthless coldness, overwhelming power, and bitter enmity toward the cultivation sects.
The Demon Venerable was always proud and cold, scornful of everything, except when it came to her.
Three hundred years ago, a twist of fate had cost her the life of her beloved. Unable to overcome her grief, the Demon Venerable swore to avenge her wife.
But when they finally met again, her dead wife had become a cultivator, one of the people she hated most, and had forgotten her completely.
The Demon Venerable was troubled, so for now she hid her identity. She taught Yi Qinglan spells, gave her treasures, and used herself as bait.
One day, she'd have to make her remember.
Rumor had it that Yi Qinglan, the Jingyun Sect's first disciple, had fallen in with the demons, betrayed her principles, and committed every kind of evil. She had become the sect's greatest traitor, a disgrace to the immortal sects.
Surrounded by familiar faces from the immortal sects, denounced and besieged, Yi Qinglan only sneered. With a sweep of her hand, she cut down the whole pack of hypocrites with her sword.
"I'd rather betray the whole world than let the whole world betray her."

Advance Preview: Failed to Fake Her Death, So the Ancestor of the Hehuan Sect Weeps as She Pays Her Debts
Chu Daoqing, the ancestor of the Hehuan Sect, faked her death for a hundred years. Then one day, she sat up in her coffin and came back from the dead.
A hundred years ago, Chu Daoqing was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world. She'd been carefree, bold, and romantic. Now she was pale and delicate, with less than a tenth of her former power.
The Heavenly Dao appeared to her in a dream and told her that because she had toyed with and abandoned too many beauties in her lifetime, she had to repay the emotional debts she had left behind before she could regain her full power. Otherwise, she would be reduced to ashes.
Debt one: Look after the pet belonging to a beautiful creditor who's traveling the world.
A cultivator should never suffer humiliation, but the ancestor gritted her teeth and did all the dirty, exhausting work.
Debt two: Listen to a beautiful descendant of hers pour out her heart over a failed romance.
From the third watch until the fifth, from spring all the way into summer. The ancestor grew drowsy and her ears nearly sprouted calluses.
Debt three...
The ancestor, who couldn't take any more, slammed the table. What was all this supposed to mean?!
After exhausting herself repaying several debts, she checked the progress bar for her emotional debts. She still had 99 percent left to pay.
The ancestor fainted.
Chu Daoqing, who loved taking the easy way out, came up with another plan.
Shen Yang, the Judicial Immortal who had brought her to the Sword Sect without asking, wore flowing white robes. She was expressionless and stern all day, and made Chu Daoqing copy three thousand sect rules for no reason.
She was warm and kind to her disciples, but cold and sharp with Chu Daoqing.
Shen Yang must hate me, Chu Daoqing thought.
One day, Chu Daoqing happened to make Shen Yang smile, and her emotional-debt repayment progress suddenly shot up by 5 percent!
Who would have thought Shen Yang was one of her creditors too?
Chu Daoqing racked her brains but couldn't remember what emotional debt she owed Shen Yang in her previous life.
They'd barely even met a few times.
But whatever the facts might be, Shen Yang's repayment progress was moving fast. Chu Daoqing decided to keep her secret identity under wraps, find the right treatment, and come up with the lowest-cost repayment plan tailored to Shen Yang.
One day, Shen Yang caught Chu Daoqing when she returned from going out to repay a debt.
"You remembered to come back?"
Shen Yang blocked the entrance to the Sword Sect and wouldn't let her in.
"Immortal Lord~" Chu Daoqing's face was as lovely as a peach blossom. Shamelessly, she bared one fragrant shoulder. "Please let me in. Have a heart and take pity on me! I don't even have anywhere to stay."
"You never change! Why do you insist on going out to find those women?" Shen Yang's face remained cold, though her eyes reddened at the corners. She held up her scabbard to keep Chu Daoqing three feet away.
"Please, my darling, forgive me~" Chu Daoqing pretended to cry, then seized her chance to press close. "I had my reasons."
"You... What are you trying to do?" The usually composed and proper Immortal Lord panicked.
"Just like that night a hundred years ago."
Note:
In her previous life, Chu Daoqing hadn't truly toyed with anyone and abandoned them.
Theme: Stay true to yourself and face difficulties without fear.
Oh my god, is this all over in one shot? It's so awesome [Spread flowers]
Go ahead, these people are so shameless, it's just a matter of time and effort. It works quite well, facing forward when using people, and facing backward when not using people.
Relying on others, but also coercing others. Why are you so shameless?
Let me go, why are these people so mean?
These disciples are so shameless
Why are you coercing us, Xiao Yi, who used to join us in shouting and killing, turning her back and denying anyone, but now she comes to please her and forces her to lead them to rebel together, why?
OMG, I'm so naive, so powerless. Why are you still so stubborn? Can you set up a game for the other side? Stop being so passive. Can you listen to other people's advice?
Ning Zhenzhen is a good girl. Although she went astray before, she has now changed her ways and become a good person.
What did these junior sisters do before? This Lin was always causing trouble before, and he almost broke up with the two of them. None of the remaining junior sisters believed in the senior sister. She was so beautiful, right?
Why is this so? So desperate, why? Why don't you go see her and die in your arms, explain things clearly, it's better than dying outside without knowing why? Why are both of them so boring and don't tell the other side about things?
