The Blue Whisper

Princess Shunde captured a jiaoren demon and wanted to find someone to tame it. The princess has three wishes: that the demon utters human words, that the demon’s tail turns into legs, and that his heart will never be rebellious. Everyone knows that the East Demon Island, the West Demon Mountain, the South Demon Valley, and the North Demon Terrace are the only four places in the world that permit people with the ability to control demons. And the Demon Valley in the south has the strongest Demon Controlling Master in the world. She was the most powerful demon master in the Demon Valley, but her heart was enchanted by a demon.

Chapter 118: Conclusion 3

Shunde looked at Changyi and gasped in a hoarse voice, "You... you couldn't have... Why..."

He did not bother saying anything. With a wave of his hand, an ice spear pierced Shunde through the chest. And like the sword, it liquified and covered her under more layers of frost and ice.

"You shouldn't… be... this strong..."

Shunde desperately tried to summon her green aura, but Changyi called forth numerous icicles and pinned her limbs in place, restraining her from all movements. Ji Yunhe stood behind him and looked at the glowing formation on his neck.

"This is how strong I used to be," Changyi said.

"What..." Shunde bitterly grinded her teeth.

"How?"

"The jiaoren's slumber was part of the plan. Ruling, you failed to see through it after all."

Shunde froze at the sound of this voice. She looked beyond the thick smoke and saw the Grand Master dressed in his usual white robe. His expression was as cold as ever. Even in the middle of all this blood and fire, his face did not change a bit.

"Impossible... I locked you up, I..." Shunde paused. When she left the capital, she had done everything except checking in on him in the prison. She was so sure he was harmless...

But... he had come to the Northlands, and was now helping Changyi and Ji Yunhe…?

When Ji Ning fled to the north, he brought the Grand Master with him.

Changyi actually did wake up already after using the shewei, but the Grand Master had a secret discussion with them. The shewei plant was a very precious thing. It could help people repair all damages inside their bodies if used properly, including regrowing limbs and giving new life. The Grand Master was able to use the power of the shewei to help Changyi reconnect all the severed meridians in his body.

(In traditional Chinese medicine, people's bodies contain many paths through which their internal energy flows. Those paths are called meridians.)

And Ji Yunhe finally learned that when he lost his tail, he also lost half of his power. Shewei gave them back to him.

Although Shunde had the power of Qing Ji and the Grand Master, she herself had no methods in cultivation. She consumed and drained the power in her body with everything she did. When she was in the capital, she kept absorbing power from other demon masters and demons to replenish her energy.

But when she arrived at the north, no one supplied her with what she needed anymore.

The flame boundary at the border was a drain on Shunde, and so was her army of puppets. By the thunder fire lava, Shunde had to keep using magic to resist the scorching heat, so it was even more of a continuous drainage. If they could hold Shunde here long enough, the power in her body would eventually deplete. And the power of nature did not drain. Thunder Fire lava could burn for another hundred years, or a thousand years…

The only thing that surprised them was how fast Shunde came. If Changyi's awakening had been a few seconds later, their plan, perhaps, would have failed.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Shunde no longer cared about Ji Yunhe or Changyi. She only asked the Grand Master,

"Don't you want to mourn for the world? When they become my puppets, they die! I am helping you realize your wish!"

The Grand Master looked at Shunde for a while then said, "My wish now is to end the chaos that I have created."

His wish was never about destroying the world. He had just wanted to make everyone pay for the injustice against that one person.

At first, Changyi and Lin Haoqing did not trust him. But Ji Yunhe chose to believe him. Because she had spent time with the Grand Master at his residence, and she also met Ning Xiyu. She knew their story.

A hundred years of enmity started by his hands could also be destroyed by him. She had not been entirely sure if the Grand Master really wanted to help them, she took a gamble. Luckily, she won.

"Haha..." Shunde laughed hoarsely.

"You want to kill me... You think I can die like this..." She struggled and ripped her own flesh and skin against the icicles, then looked at Ji Yunhe.

"I will not die, I still have the power to change the sky. Even if my body dies, I will just turn into the wind! Scattered into the air, I will kill anyone and anything I see! You can't stop the wind and you can't stop me!"
