Chapter 776 Liu Yan'er's True Identity Revealed
The blazing sun in the sect square seemed intimidated by the chill emanating from Yun Yao, its light dimming slightly. She stood atop the martial arts stage, the aura of a Void Realm expert lingering around her. Her gaze, sharp as a torch, swept over the chattering crowd below. To her, the voices of doubt and abuse were but the cacophony of cicadas, unworthy of a single murmur.
Yun Yao raised her hand, and a pitch-black "Chaos Demon Seed," its surface covered in strange patterns, hovered in her palm, slowly spinning. As she poured her spiritual energy into it, ripples appeared on its surface, like an unfathomable quagmire, swallowing up all the surrounding light. "Everyone, today, I will show you what kind of evil spirit hides among us!" Her voice was cold and firm, echoing throughout the square, piercing everyone's eardrums.
The audience instantly fell silent, their breath held, their gaze fixed on the demon seed. Yun Yao flicked her finger, and a stream of golden spiritual energy sank into the demon seed. Instantly, the demon seed trembled violently, cracks appearing on its surface, and wisps of black mist emanated from it. The black mist swirled and surged in the air, gradually converging into a series of images.
In the image, dozens of disciples, bound by iron chains, stood emaciated in a dark, damp chamber. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair. Standing before them was Liu Yan'er! A cruel smile played on her lips, and in her hand, she wielded a pitch-black staff, injecting strands of black energy into the disciples. The disciples struggled and screamed in agony, their voices so shrill and terrifying they sent shudders down their spines.
"This...how is this possible!"
"How could Senior Sister Liu do such a thing!"
The audience erupted in shock, their faces filled with hushed whispers and discussions. Some close to the missing disciples had tears welling up in their eyes, their faces filled with anger and grief.
Yun Yao didn't stop. She summoned her spiritual energy once more, and the scene shifted to the young apprentice she had saved when she first joined the sect. Back then, the young apprentice had a youthful face, full of hope for the future. However, in another scene, the young apprentice was trapped in a spiked iron cage, Liu Yan'er using her magic to extract his soul. The young apprentice's screams pierced everyone's hearts like swords.
"No! Impossible!" A woman rushed out from the crowd. She was the younger junior brother's sister and was already in tears at this moment. "Liu Yan'er, you devil, give my brother back his life!" She wanted to rush to the martial arts arena, but was held back by the people next to her.
Just as everyone was immersed in shock and anger, Liu Yan'er's puppet form suddenly appeared at the side of the martial arts stage. She was still dressed in her plain white dress, but now, her eyes were filled with madness and resentment, no longer the gentleness of the past. "Yun Yao, you think you can defeat me like this? How naive!" Her sharp laughter was chilling. "Yes, I killed those people. Their souls have become the nourishment of my power! And you, too, will eventually follow in their footsteps!"
Before Liu Yan'er finished her words, she brandished the magic sword in her hand and charged towards Yun Yao. Wherever the magic sword passed, the air shrieked, leaving behind a trail of black afterimages. However, Yun Yao remained motionless, a flicker of disdain in her eyes. Just as the magic sword was about to pierce her, Yun Yao gently raised her hand, and a golden light shield instantly appeared, blocking the magic sword. The powerful impact caused Liu Yan'er to retreat repeatedly, her face pale.
"Do you think you're still the same person you used to be? Now you're nothing more than a running dog of the Chaos Demon Sect!" Yun Yao said coldly, her voice filled with sarcasm. With a flick of her finger, another stream of spiritual energy shot towards Liu Yan'er. The spiritual energy transformed into a golden chain in mid-air, instantly entangling Liu Yan'er's body.
Liu Yan'er struggled desperately, emitting powerful demonic energy as she tried to break free from the chains. However, Yun Yao's strength far surpassed hers, and the chains tightened, causing her to groan in pain. "Impossible... How could I lose to you..." Liu Yan'er's eyes widened, her face filled with resentment and disbelief.
At that moment, the Chaos Demon Seed in Yun Yao's hand suddenly vibrated violently, erupting with dazzling light. A hazy figure slowly emerged from the light, shrouded in black mist, its face indistinct. "Liu Yan'er, you're just a pawn in my hand. I didn't expect you to be so incapable of handling such a trivial matter!" The voice within the mist was cold and eerie, as if emanating from the Netherworld.
The audience was once again shocked. They hadn't expected such a powerful being to be behind Liu Yan'er. Yun Yao's eyes flashed. She had long suspected someone behind Liu Yan'er's actions, but she hadn't expected them to reveal themselves at this moment. She quickly channeled her spiritual energy, tightening her grip on Liu Yan'er while keeping a vigilant eye on the figure in the black mist.
The being in the black fog laughed wildly: "Yun Yao, do you think you can sit back and relax after exposing Liu Yan'er's true identity? That's ridiculous! How can you stop the Chaos Demon Sect's plan!" Before he finished speaking, a black beam of light shot out from his hand and went straight for Yun Yao.
Yun Yao didn't dare to be careless. She formed hand seals with her hands, and the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk hovered above her head, emitting a dazzling light. This light collided with the black beam, unleashing a powerful energy wave. The martial arts arena shook violently, and everyone retreated, fearing the aftermath.
During the fierce confrontation, Yun Yao suddenly realized that the being in the black fog seemed to be deliberately hiding something. With a sudden inspiration, she activated the causal power of the Void Realm, attempting to uncover the other party's true identity. However, the other party seemed to sense her intentions and increased the intensity of the attack, making it difficult for her to concentrate.
Just as Yun Yao was locked in a stalemate with the being in the black fog, Chu Mochen suddenly appeared beside her. His body burned with the flames of the Candle Dragon's bloodline, and he exuded an imposing aura. "Yao'er, I'm here to help you!" He shouted, condensing a halberd burning with karmic fire in his hand and hurling it at the being in the black fog.
The halberd pierced the sky, carrying a devastating force as it plunged straight into the black fog. The being within the fog hadn't anticipated Chu Mochen's sudden attack, and, unable to dodge, was struck by the halberd. He roared, his body swaying violently, and the black fog began to dissipate.
As the black fog gradually dissipated, everyone finally saw his true face. However, the scene before them left everyone speechless with shock—it was actually an elder from their sect! This elder was usually highly respected and respected by everyone, but who would have thought that he was actually a member of the Chaos Demon Sect!
"No... This is impossible! How could Elder Li be..."
"It's unbelievable that we were kept in the dark this whole time!"
The audience erupted in fury, unable to accept this fact. Elder Li's face was now savage, his eyes filled with madness and resentment. "Yes, it's me! You fools will all become stepping stones for the rise of the Chaos Demon Sect!" He roared, radiating powerful demonic energy as he made a final stand.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously. Yun Yao activated the Heaven-Defying Fate Disc, unleashing a powerful force of karma to lock onto Elder Li's trajectory; Chu Mochen, activating his Candle Dragon bloodline and brandishing his halberd, launched a fierce attack on Elder Li. With their combined strength, Elder Li gradually fell into a disadvantage, his body covered in wounds.
"I won't accept this! I won't accept this!" Elder Li roared furiously. He suddenly placed his hand on his chest, a flicker of determination in his eyes. "If that's the case, then let's be buried together!" He actually planned to self-destruct, perishing with everyone else.
Yun Yao's expression changed drastically. She knew the sheer power of Elder Li's self-detonation at the Void Realm, and how it would destroy the entire sect. She acted decisively, pouring all her spiritual energy into the Heaven-Defying Fate Disk. The Heaven-Defying Fate Disk shone brightly, forming a massive golden barrier in the air, enveloping Elder Li.
"Boom!" With a resounding bang, Elder Li exploded. Powerful energy raged through the golden barrier, causing it to shake violently, as if it would shatter at any moment. Yun Yao gritted her teeth, maintaining the barrier with all her might. Sweat beaded her forehead, and her face turned pale as paper. Chu Mochen, on the side, continuously channeled spiritual energy into her, helping her stabilize the barrier.
After an unknown amount of time, the aftermath of the explosion finally subsided. The golden barrier slowly dissipated. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood there exhausted, covered in dust. Elder Li had already vanished without a trace.
"Huh...it's finally over." Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She turned and looked at the crowd below. "Everyone, the truth has been revealed. The Chaos Demon Sect is attempting to subvert the world of cultivation. We cannot sit idly by. From today on, we must unite as one and fight against the Chaos Demon Sect together!"
Everyone in the audience nodded. The confusion and fear in their eyes had long since vanished, replaced by firm belief and determination. "That's right, fight against the Chaos Demon Sect!"
"We must not let them succeed!"
Unwavering and resolute shouts echoed across the square for a long time. Liu Yan'er's puppet body completely collapsed in the aftermath of Elder Li's self-detonation, dissipating into a wisp of black mist. But Yun Yao knew this was just the tip of the Chaos Demon Sect's iceberg; even greater challenges lay ahead for her and Chu Mochen.
