Yu Yi casually lowered her hand.
The Whale That Devours the Heavens plummeted straight from the sky and exploded with a deafening roar.
The surging tide it unleashed instantly crushed the surrounding mountains.
In the blink of an eye, all the Orthodox Martial Artists except for Yu Yi and her two disciples beside her were submerged.
Collapsed rocks and shattered trees kept falling, crashing into the water.
Some skilled Orthodox Martial Artists managed to grab onto floating branches, but before they could catch their breath, another massive wave swept them back into the depths.
Most were swallowed by the raging torrent from the very start.
Even those who cultivated could barely resist the force of nature.
It was only after the land at the foot of the mountain turned into a mighty river that the rampaging waters finally calmed.
“Is this… the power Master gained after breaking through?”
Blue Ling’er and Huang Doudou stood at the mountaintop, watching everything with their own eyes, and spoke in a low voice.
They tried to imagine what would have happened to them if they had been among the people at the bottom of the mountain.
Just the thought made their hair stand on end and their legs go weak.
“Ling’er, Doudou.”
Yu Yi called out to them.
“Disciple present!”
The two immediately half-knelt, awaiting instructions.
“Go bring Chi Ming back and clean up the battlefield while you’re at it.”
Yu Yi said calmly.
“Yes, Master!”
The two replied in unison and quickly disappeared, flying down the mountain.
Blue Ling’er and Huang Doudou worked efficiently.
Yu Yi didn’t have to wait long before they returned, carrying the soaking-wet and barely breathing Chi Ming on their backs.
“Master, we’ve checked. Little Junior Sister is unharmed. But… what should we do about her?”
“Although Little Junior Sister didn’t fight, she betrayed the Sect and even participated in the attack against Master. That’s the crime of Betrayal of the Master and Ancestry—she deserves severe punishment!”
“Master, I think Second Senior Sister is right!”
Blue Ling’er and Huang Doudou echoed each other.
Yu Yi, however, let out a faint sigh.
“If you two want to speak on Chi Ming’s behalf, just say so. No need to force yourselves to argue the opposite.”
Yu Yi could tell at once—their tone was just too fake, clearly not heartfelt.
The two hadn’t expected their intentions to be seen through so quickly.
Their faces turned red, and they lowered their heads, not daring to say more.
Blue Ling’er and Huang Doudou wanted to protect Chi Ming, and the original host had been reluctant to harm her own disciples.
If the Sect was so harmonious, why did so many disciples choose to betray?
Was it just because the original host was a Demoness?
The reason behind it probably wasn’t so simple.
“As for how to deal with Chi Ming, your Master will decide.”
Yu Yi said after a moment of contemplation.
Her expression remained calm, but she felt a headache rising inside.
She had actually overheard the conversation of the Ten Great Experts earlier.
She didn’t care for the actions of the other nine Orthodox experts for now, but Chi Ming had come this time prepared to die.
What could have happened between the original host and Chi Ming to make her resolve so deeply?
“Sigh, looks like it’ll take a lot of effort to discipline this little disciple from now on.”
Yu Yi sighed inwardly.
She could have been ruthless and killed Chi Ming to eliminate future trouble.
But she didn’t do it—not only because she had inherited part of the original host’s memories and formed a unique bond with these disciples, but more importantly—
Chi Ming was a beautiful girl.
And good-looking.
“Master, you asked me to check the battlefield, but Second Senior Sister and I didn’t find a single corpse along the way. They probably all sank to the bottom. Those six Wang and three Grandmasters are also missing—what if…”
Huang Doudou continued her report to Yu Yi, a hint of concern in her voice.
“There is no ‘what if.'”
Yu Yi replied casually.
“Those nine were hit by the first wave— even immortals couldn’t save them.”
The Whale That Devours the Heavens fell from the sky and struck the nine experts directly. Even if each had ten lives, it wouldn’t have been enough.
“Oh…”
Huang Doudou answered softly, then squirmed and asked Yu Yi,
“Master, is there nothing else you want to say?”
Yu Yi glanced at Huang Doudou, her eyes narrowing.
This girl… was she expecting something?
After thinking for a moment, Yu Yi spoke.
“Mm, you worked hard.”
Huang Doudou froze.
“Not hard at all! Not at all! But since your disciple didn’t find anything, isn’t Master disappointed?”
She poked her index fingers together, pouting.
Now Yu Yi finally understood.
This Huang Doudou was definitely a masochist.
She felt that failing to complete her task would disappoint Master, leading to punishment.
And that’s exactly what she wanted!
Yu Yi looked Huang Doudou up and down.
This fluffy-haired little one was ranked fifth in the Sect, but was actually younger than Chi Ming, the Little Junior Sister.
With her chubby baby face, she looked like a cute, delicate doll—irresistibly tempting to tease.
But Yu Yi chose to restrain herself and reminded herself inwardly—
Not legal yet. Not legal yet…
Yu Yi cleared her throat.
“With the move I used earlier, it’s only normal you couldn’t find any corpses. It was well within my expectations.”
“Oh…”
Huang Doudou replied listlessly, disappointed that there would be no punishment.
“Clean up. We’re heading back.”
Yu Yi turned to look at the Broken Temple, her voice calm.
This was where Yu Yi possessed the body and became the Demoness, but there was nothing worth commemorating here.
Since she had come to this world, she had to move forward and keep living.
“Going back?”
Blue Ling’er and Huang Doudou were stunned for a moment.
Then they exchanged glances, excitement flashing in their eyes.
“Great! We can finally make those scumbags who looted us pay the price!!”
Yu Yi, hearing this, was completely confused.
Scumbags who looted them?
Who?
She had no memories of this, and didn’t want to ask directly.
So she tried a roundabout approach.
“Doudou, you’re best at gathering information. Do you know what their current situation is?”
“Reporting to Master, as far as I know, the First Seat of Ghost Shadow Sect, ‘Broken Shadow Demon Lord,’ will leave seclusion in the coming days. Currently, Among the Colorful Clouds is managed by the Second Seat, Fragmented Shadow.”
“The Servants who once served us switched to the Ghost Shadow Sect to survive, but were all executed by Fragmented Shadow—not a single one was spared…”
Hearing this, Yu Yi concluded their home had been stolen.
Perhaps due to the original host’s injury, the Ghost Shadow Sect took the opportunity to seize Among the Colorful Clouds, killing all the Servants loyal to it as well.
From the reactions of Blue Ling’er and Huang Doudou, they must have tried to take back Among the Colorful Clouds but were forced to go into hiding with the original host after losing.
A miserable period.
“Since I have returned…”
Yu Yi narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing within.
“Their good days are over.”
