I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]

Chapter 840 - 840 14.116 Last Violet Star - (Past) Running out of time.

The great elder and the Sect Master in his soul form had made the decision to remain in the living room while Yun Xiajie carried Bai Wuan to their room as soon as they had all reached this peak.

The Great Elder began asking his elder brother about what had happened to the second Young master Yun as soon as he had left.

“Brother, what happened to you, and why was your body suddenly taken by the Devil?” Yun Xiayu questioned.

“This... It’s a lengthy story. He first showed up a few days after my wife passed away. At first, I believed he was just my inner demon that was born after the death of my beloved since when he first showed up, he utilized my wife’s look.”

“Why didn’t you inform me immediately?”

Sect Master Yun responded, “I’ve always assumed it’s my inner demons. Since it’s like that, why would I tell you about it? To make the elders worried and have the rest of the sect realize that their Sect Master is afflicted with mental demons? Do you want to ruin our sect!?”

Yun Xiayu could relate to his older brother’s concerns and the reasons behind his belief that the devil lives inside of him. He adores his sister-in-law dearly, thus this is how things turned out.

“But since Xie Gui came to attack our Sect, things have gone awry,” said Sect Master Yun. “They forced me to give up my vessel or they would destroy the Lan Zhuayan Sect like what happened to the Bai Lengshui Sect. So I gave up what they wanted in exchange that Xie Gui is no longer permitted to step into the Lan Zhuayan Sect in this lifetime,” he said.

.....

“He took Huaxia and the Heir of Bai Lengshui Sect with him because he wanted A’Wuan to reveal himself, or perhaps that insane man’s inner demons were produced by A’Wuan, which is why he is searching everywhere for him,” said the Great Elder of the Lan Zhuayun Sect.

“Must be... They had used the entire Lan Zhuayan Sect to pressure me into giving in to the Devil. I tried my best to stop him from gaining control of my body at the last minute, and thankfully you had placed me inside the formation prison, or else he would have still destroyed the sect afterward. A’Wuan’s return was the greatest coincidence as he was able to completely restrain that devil. I’ve never expected him to be a reincarnated immortal with the memories of his previous life,” said Sect Master Yun.

The Great Elder remembered what the demon had said just now and related it to his brother, saying, “Actually, it looks like Jieye is also a reborn immortal but unlike A’Wuan he doesn’t remember his former experiences.”

Sect Master Yun murmured, “So it’s simply that Xiao Jie can’t recall who A’Wuan is while the latter remembers everything. Just what are their real identities...?”

Yun Xiajie walked into the living room and started conversing with them. He struggled to contain his emotions as he sat in front of his father’s soul, his eyes bloodshot.

“Father, I... I shouldn’t have... left the Sect maybe... maybe I would have stopped these things from happening,” said the Second Young Master Yun.

The Great Elder rebuked the rebellious disciple, saying, “Don’t say that! Why are you blaming yourself!? The fault is that we are weak and the madman had come over himself, plus there is a traitor who pointed out the weakness of our defensive formation. Just thinking about the rebellious disciple, I couldn’t hold back my temper at all.”

“Don’t let A’Wuan hear your statements,” Sect Master Yun said, “He could hate himself for allowing you to follow him. After all, he was meant to not bring you with him.”

Yun Xiajie apologized after realizing that his remarks weren’t nice to hear; fortunately, his beloved is still asleep.

Sect Master Yun asked. “Xiao Jie, actually I don’t feel at ease now that things have gone this way. Now that the devil race is involved then... Immortals had to do their duties. According to your uncle the devil in that body of mine says that you and A’Wuan are both reincarnated immortals. Are you sure you don’t know anything about this?”

“Jing’er claims that we originated from the same place and that the reason why he has his memories is that he altered his own soul prior to being reincarnated. I also don’t know the details, but I think I know so many things that aren’t found in this world,” stated Yun Xiajie.

Yun Xiayu questioned. “Why didn’t you do the same thing about your memories?”

Yun Xiajie replied, “That... I don’t know or maybe it’s against the rules. It’s just that Jing’er says that the restraints in my soul are much stronger than what he has, and that... My soul is incomplete which leads to my current state of not remembering anything, and he also said I need a few more years before I can recall who I really am.”

“It is fairly hard to remain in the soul form until you become a ghost cultivator, therefore I wanted to ask Father whether you were feeling alright in that shape.”

Sect Master Yun said, “Actually... I feel not different from being alive except that I can’t touch you, people, everything else is normal. So this is how it feels to become a ghost. Maybe it’s because of the golden blood drop from A’Wuan that I haven’t been called to the Underworld yet.”

“Golden blood... He exploited the essence of his blood!”

“Blood essence? What is that?” asked the two elders.

“I will explain everything later. I need to check on Jing’er first. Please excuse me, father, uncle,” Yun Xiajie hurriedly jumped up and said to his father and uncle before departing with a frightened expression on his face.

The Sect Master responded, “Go right ahead.”

When Yun Xiajie heard this, he was compelled to return to the room where his beloved was sleeping. Blood essence was a concept he understood. That is the blood of God to immortals. Extraction of divinity would send Bai Wuan’s soul into chaos because he is still a mortal in his physical form.

The sound of coughing and the smell of blood struck his nose as soon as he entered the room, as was to be anticipated. When Yun Xiajie opened the door, he observed Bai Wuan covering his blood-stained mouth while a little puddle of blood was dying on the blanket.

Cough. cough. Cough!!!

Bai Wuan’s breathing was so labored that it appeared as though he was having trouble breathing, and he mumbled, “Ah, I’m running out of time.”

Standing in front of the open door, The Second Young Master Yun turned to face Bai Wuan while displaying astonished and concerned features. He was too focused on how his beloved looked at this moment that he didn’t hear his lover’s murmuring. His eyes were sorrowful and guilty-looking. The room was thoroughly cleaned by Bai Wuan after using the cleansing technique on him and the bed, but the stench of blood is still present.

When Yun Xiajie sought to caress Bai Wuan’s face, he did so with a quivering hand and, as was to be expected, felt a temperature as cold as a corpse.

“The stability between my soul and body has clashed since one is a divine soul and the vessel is just mortal. It cannot maintain much of my original strength when I utilized my divinity just now,” explains Bai Wuan. “Don’t worry, A’Xia. I’m alright. That blood didn’t signify much.”

Yun Xiajie inquired, “You would feel sick and weak in this realm since the body and spirit reject one another. Do you need to return to the Upper World?”

“The problem with the Xie Clan is still present, and our brothers are still in their hands. In addition, I need to ensure Father Yun’s soul enters the Underworld successfully so I can bring him back to life. His vessel, though, must return to earth after being purified.” Bai Wuan shook his head and said, “I can’t go back yet.”

“Don’t try to handle everything by yourself, Jing’er, I will assist you as promised.”

Bai Wuan grasped his lover’s hands and stared at him with anguish in his eyes.

Before uttering the next phrase...

“The only way to kill a devil is to eliminate it with the vessel he is in, but if I did that Father Yun’s body wouldn’t return to earth and he wouldn’t be able to come back to life. The only other option is to transfer the devil’s soul to a body that can be eliminated with it. I can leave the Xie Clan to you, but... the Devil must die no matter what.”

“A high-ranking demon with a vessel is as powerful as an ascended mortal; in other words, he would have the might of an immortal, therefore we can’t blindly pick a vessel without considering it strictly.”

Bai Wuan declared, “I need to place the devil’s soul in my body, and... you must kill me to end him. This is only one method to weaken the demon and assure he would be destroyed.”

After finishing what he wanted to say, Bai Wuan could see by the look on his lover’s face that he was so dumbfounded that he was unable to speak. He noticed that Yun Xiajie appeared to be about to cry but remained speechless. Only Yun Xiajie knows for sure if it was incredulity or unmistakable anguish in his heart that prevented him from speaking.

Yun Xiajie immediately fell to his knees in front of his sweetheart and sobbed quietly while clutching Bai Wuan’s hands.

“I... I cannot do it. Jing’er, I cannot do that!”

“Because this is my trial, the Heavenly Domain won’t send assistance; everything is now my responsibility. Moreover, you promised me... that you would help me with my trial. You pledged, and this is the only way. If we keep the devil in this realm, sooner or later it would escape, and once that happened, the entire human race would perish. Furthermore, I wouldn’t perish—all you would kill is one of my mortal souls—and by the time I was resurrected in the Upper Realm, I would be able to continue traveling with you for a very long time after descending once again.”

“I can’t do it.”

“A’Xia, it is our responsibility to safeguard this realm. This is the only way I can resuscitate those who would perish in the struggle against the Xie and the devil. Even if you can’t do it, Shenyuan will aid me. He would listen to my request. Temporary separation is better than the death of the world, right?”

“I... can’t do it.”

“Can you see it as I’m begging you instead, A’Xia?”

“I still don’t want to.”

“Please~ A’Xia~”

“...”

“Okay?”

“I... I... I will do it but not promise to. Only because you promise to come back to me. But I wouldn’t wait that long... If you don’t come back this world would be destroyed by me instead!” said Yun Xiajie.

Chuckling, Bai Wuan responded, “I will keep my promise no matter how long it takes.”

Bai Wuan eventually fell back asleep. He instructed his husband on how to employ a talisman for Sect Master Yun’s soul protection. It appears like Bai Wuan wants to retain Father Yun’s soul for a while. The Second Young Master of the Yun Clan had looked into the state of their brothers in the Xie Clan’s area at the request of his Dao Companion. After Bai Wuan had gotten a good rest, they made plans to rescue the two of them.

—

Meanwhile, at the Xie Clan’s Territory...

Someone informed Xie Gui that someone had appeared unexpectedly near the Bai Lengshui Sect ruins that he had instructed his followers to demolish. He had been waiting for Bai Wuan to show up but he was unable to locate him.

“Reporting to the Lord! They claim that after picking up his younger sister and brother-in-law, the young man with silver eyes briefly lingered in the Capital before traveling to the Zhuayun Sect to meet his Dao Companion. He only showed up at the ruins briefly where the former Bai Lengshui Sect is located.”

“He has a Dao Companion. Why did no one tell me about this? I think this Dao Companion of his is more important than the ones we took from that annoying righteous sect!” said Xie Gui.

“B-But sire... That man.... he is at Peak Golden Core Stage and he is a lot stronger than any of us. We cannot bring him here on our own. Those who stopped him from returning were all killed under his sword.”

“Excuses! You useless things cannot even go through something so simple! What use do I have for you!? Bring those brats to me. As long as I kill them my inner demons should disappear. Especially that bastard with silver eyes!!” said Xie Gui who was being unreasonable.

After being plagued by inner demons for too long, he had begun to lose his sense of reason. When Bai Wuan imprisoned the Devil in Sect Master Yun’s body in another dimension to stop it from fleeing, his connection with the devil had been abruptly severed. It wouldn’t take too much time for the Xie Clan Head to become completely insane.
