Chapter 2243: Hong Ye’s Wish
The pain of being deceived and her sect being annihilated boiled Hong Ye’s desire for revenge. She wanted to resist, but Qi Yi was stronger than she thought. Finally, his sword pierced her heart.
Before Hong Ye died, she tightly grabbed Qi Yi’s hem, vomiting blood, and asked, “Why did you lie to me?”
Qi Yi looked at Hong Ye with disdain and said contemptuously, “You’re just a demonic temptress.”
He then waved his sword and cut off Hong Ye’s hand which had been holding onto his clothes.
The Sacred Demonic Cult was annihilated.
Hong Ye coughed out blood and died.
Hong Ye’s wish: To not be deceived by Qi Yi, kill Qi Yi, take revenge on the righteous sects who came to exterminate the sect, and revitalize the Sacred Demonic Cult.
After Ning Shu digested the plot, her mouth couldn’t help but twitch. This kind of mess was the most annoying.
People usually hated those who deceive themselves, but the reason why lies could be successful was that some people were willing to indulge in such lies and deception.
A lie was just poison coated with sugar.
Hong Ye had picked a bad stance. She had turned her back on her beliefs and the Sacred Demonic Cult that could protect her.
She was a member of a demonic sect, and this label could not be washed away in this life. People must stick to their position and principles. Otherwise, both parties would be unhappy.
For the sake of love, people would often use almost begging behavior to please the one they liked, hoping to get the charity of love.
This task though, did this mean she had to kill all the righteous sect members?
History was written by the winners, after all.
Ning Shu felt a headache coming on. Forget it, she would just take it one step at a time. She preferred seeking revenge without shedding blood.
She felt that she was so cute.
When Hong Ye died, she was still under 16 years old. She was still a naive and pure girl.
Pure!?
“Hong Ye has offered up the entirety of her soul for this task.” 2333’s voice rang in Ning Shu’s mind.
Ning Shu was taken aback. All of it!?
Hong Ye gave her soul not for herself but for the Sacred Demonic Cult, her elder brother, who had severed his meridians, and Mei Wu, who died for her.
It was her way of repenting for her sins.
A maid walked in and said to Ning Shu, “Miss, Qi Yi is waiting for you outside.”
Ning Shu nodded and put on her flaming-red clothes. There was a string of delicate bells hanging around her waist, which would make a crisp sound as she walked around.
Ning Shu looked at her reflection in the mirror. She liked this dress. This was more like a temptress from a demonic sect.
So, this time, she was a temptress who killed people as her heart desired?
Speaking of which, the original host really hadn’t killed anyone before. In fact, she was raised like a sheltered lady from a wealthy family. Ye Hua’s attitude towards this sister of his was not bad.
Ning Shu took a rope as thin as a steel wire and tucked it into her pocket before stepping out of the stone room. She saw Mei Wu standing in front of the door.
Ning Shu stared at Mei Wu, who was about seventeen years old. He looked rather dull and had no outstanding features. However, he had been following Hong Ye to protect her since she was a child.
Putting Hong Ye first in everything and thinking on her behalf in everything, Mei Wu was truly a peerless loyal servant. His ideology was: if you want to kill, I will hand you the knife and help you bury the body. No matter whether you are good or vicious, I will stay by your side.
However, Hong Ye never recognized and acknowledged his service.
“Miss.” Mei Wu called Ning Shu, “Do you want this subordinate to follow?”
Usually, when Hong Ye went to see Qi Yi, she wouldn’t let Mei Wu follow her. But Ning Shu had a plan this time. She said, “Come with me.”
Mei Wu was a little surprised, but he still obediently followed Ning Shu.
The base camp of the Sacred Demonic Cult was on a mountain. It tunneled through the entire mountain and had various rooms inside.
The terrain inside was extremely complex, with numerous twists and turns. This place was easy to defend and difficult to attack; hence, the Sacred Demonic Cult was very safe.
The renowned righteous sects laughed that the Sacred Demonic Cult was like a mouse, only knowing to burrow holes.
