The story of Qingqiu Lingsi and Feng Luoshu is not complicated, at least as narrated by Qingqiu Mingli.

During a mission organized by Lonely Moon Valley to scout a Secret Realm, the disciples encountered an accident with heavy casualties, and the leading pair, Qingqiu Lingsi and Feng Luoshu, were no match for the ancient monstrous beasts within.

Just as they faced the complete annihilation of Lonely Moon Valley's younger generation, the calm and unhurried Feng Luoshu decided to step forward.

Alone he was no match for the enemy, but with the help of Blood Demon powers, he effortlessly eliminated all threats, protecting the lives of his fellow disciples.

It's just that his methods were extremely bloody.

Among the many disciples, there were those with extensive knowledge, and after Feng Luoshu activated the Blood Demon's power, the signs in his physical condition were too obvious.

Qingqiu Lingsi, however, seemed completely unaware and treated Feng Luoshu as usual.

Although the disciples who were just saved did not raise the issue at the time, once they returned to the sect, this matter still leaked out despite attempts to conceal it.

But when the elders were ready to swiftly suppress Feng Luoshu, they discovered that their Chief had long fled with others, infuriating the elders of Lonely Moon Valley.

"Damn you, thief! We Lonely Moon Valley painstakingly cultivated you for a hundred years, and not only did you conceal your Blood Demon identity, but you also abducted the next potential Sect Leader of Lonely Moon Valley.

This is not just intolerable to me, but to everyone's grandmother as well!"

Although Qingqiu Mingli herself felt that there were still many questionable points in this incident, and she wanted to find Feng Luoshu for clarification, her disciple's actions made it difficult to clarify the matter.

Moreover, a major consensus had already formed within the sect, and even she couldn't openly protect a Blood Demon.

Before Feng Luoshu exposed his identity, the only well-known Blood Demon across the continent was the Slaughter God from the First Epoch, who indifferently slew both friend and foe, leaving a profound psychological shadow on everyone.

While the emergence of a Blood Demon might not greatly impact the Cultivator World, for the mortals, it was an utterly devastating blow.

Because Blood Demons don't discriminate in their killing, anyone they can overpower is a target, so those numerous and defenseless mortals are inevitably their victims.

Once this news got out, it would be a fatal blow to Lonely Moon Valley.

Fortunately, the disciples who knew of this were controlled at the earliest opportunity, and both Qingqiu Lingsi and Feng Luoshu were never going to reveal their identities.

Although both were outstanding among the younger generation, when facing an entire Super Force like theirs, even these yet to fully mature figures were easily found.

Listening to this part of the story, both Su Youyi and Yue Bai's hearts clenched involuntarily, their hands tightly gripped with worry for the couple.

Liang Yi, however, was not emotionally perturbed, knowing that the development of the story might be quite different from what they imagined.

Qingqiu Mingli did not elaborate on what happened after the two were found, but simply glossed over it before jumping to the part about bringing them back to the sect for trial.

"I am not a pedantic person; what does it matter if a disciple is possessed by a Blood Demon? Since Luo Shu risked exposing his identity to protect the other disciples' lives, how could I commit such an act of ingratitude?"

Qingqiu Mingli's tone was resolute and forceful, and even after countless years, she had no regrets about the decision she made at the time.

Liu Rouxin, who had been listening intently to the story, looked up sharply upon hearing this, her gaze turning towards the young woman with a spirited face, involuntarily superimposing her master's silhouette onto her.

Thinking of her old man's care and concern from her youth to the present, Liu Rouxin's eyes softened considerably, her feelings different from the mentor-disciple affection of Qingqiu Mingli, for her master had always shown her more of a familial love.

Although neither of them had spoken openly about it, both she and Xu Yi had quietly acknowledged their feelings for each other in their hearts. Rather than facing another Blood Demon finding its kin, he would prefer to call Xu Yi "father" if given the chance.

"It was at that time that I had the chance to have a serious conversation with Luo Shu and learned about the Blood Demon situation within him."

At this point, Qingqiu Mingli looked at the Blood Demon's cute and cuddly phantom behind her with a somewhat amused expression. It hovered in the air like a pink jellyfish consisting only of a head.

Now, within a short while, the Blood Demon seemed to be on the verge of falling asleep again.

No one expected the Blood Demon within Feng Luoshu to be inherently lazy, and to such an extent at that.

Even Feng Luoshu himself, throughout the ten-plus years since he truly embarked on the path of Cultivation, did not realize he was a vessel for a Blood Demon.

Only when he entered Lonely Moon Valley and started to practice drawing upon Spiritual Power with his very first Cultivation Technique did a ray of bloodlight burst forth from the depths of his Divine Soul, passing on to him a plethora of slaughter-based techniques to gain power, and all sorts of Laws and Conceptions waiting for him to realize once his cultivation improved.

This gave Feng Luoshu quite a fright. He had always been a good kid; how could he get involved in such matters?

But after stuffing all that knowledge into him, the bloodlight disappeared, and despite all of Feng Luoshu's Investigation, it was nowhere to be found. Having no other choice, he suppressed the panic and doubts in his heart and went searching for answers in the Scripture Pavilion of Lonely Moon Valley.

Fortunately, records about Blood Demons were not rare. After some research, Feng Luoshu confirmed that he was likely the legendary vessel for a Blood Demon.

The cause of his condition was inseparably linked to the warfare he'd experienced as a child.

The more Feng Luoshu thought about it, the more afraid he became, but having no home to return to and nothing to his name, he had nowhere to go.

Therefore, he concealed his identity, exerted his inherently inconspicuous talent to the utmost, and began his Cultivation journey in Lonely Moon Valley.

Initially, Feng Luoshu worried about the Blood Demon coming out to bewitch him, but after two or three years without incident, he grew a little relieved despite his confusion.

Using the profound Cultivation knowledge in his mind, even though Feng Luoshu himself had no intention of embarking on the Slaughter Dao, it was definitely alright to refer to the Cultivation insights.

After nearly a hundred years of diligent Cultivation, Feng Luoshu had already become the True Inheritor of Lonely Moon Valley until Qingqiu Ling thought came along.

"Later, we discussed and realized that the Blood Demon inside Luo Shu probably feared that he would die unnaturally on his Cultivation path, but too lazy to deal with troubles, it simply crammed everything into him and went back to sleep," said Qingqiu Mingli, rubbing her temples. She had never seen such a lethargic master before.

Liang Yi clicked his tongue, my goodness, why does Feng Luoshu's experience sound so familiar? It was almost 80% similar to those "Grandpa-in-the-pocket" genre novels he read when he was bored in his previous life.

As for the dissimilar points, who would have their grandpa figure appear in the first chapter, dump a heap of things on the protagonist, and then not be seen again until the end of the book?

Looking at the Blood Demon not far away, drowsy and oblivious, Liang Yi felt the laid-back energy emanating from it begin to spread toward them.

After spending so much time with this creature, it's no wonder Feng Luoshu chose to remain an ordinary True Inheritor despite such a fortuitous encounter. Turns out he'd been influenced by its salted fish attitude.

"However, just when we were planning to execute the Blood Demon and restrict Qingqiu Ling's power, an unforeseen event completely spiraled the situation out of control!"

Qingqiu Mingli squatted down, her ethereal green jade fingers lightly touching the reddish-brown soil, her expression sorrowful.

"What happened?"

Yue Bai couldn't help but ask.

"The Abyss Gate opened in Lonely Moon Valley!"
