Invincible Soul Emperor

"Master, why did we come here?" Ah San looked at Xue Wei heading in the direction pointed by the Thousand-Year Elder Gui, feeling puzzled.

Xue Wei smiled slightly: "Didn’t you hear what that old guy said earlier? He said Xiao Xiao now has Demonic Qi on her, she might undergo demonic cultivation. It’s essential to check what’s happening, we can’t miss such a good opportunity!"

Ah San scratched his head involuntarily: "But Master, isn’t Xue Feng with her as well? If we go and watch the spectacle now, it’d be awkward if he discovers us."

Xue Wei stopped and looked at him: "If the two are together, you’ll need to divert Xue Feng. Enough questions, it seems we’re almost there."

Not far away, they soon encountered the huge pit that the old guy mentioned.

The two walked slowly to the edge of the pit, Xue Wei glanced down: "Ah San, I sense only one person inside, looks like you won’t need to divert him. But as I go down, I need you to guard here, alert me if anything’s amiss."

Ah San nodded quickly.

Xue Wei jumped into the pit without hesitation.

It didn’t take long for Xue Wei to find the cave emitting Demonic Qi.

"Haha, I never thought this little girl would have such pure Demonic Qi, this is precious stuff!"

Xue Wei smiled playfully, he stretched out his hand and the Demonic Qi rushed towards him like a child attracted to a toy.

Soon, a very satisfied smile appeared on Xue Wei’s face.

"I really found a treasure, but this girl won’t admit she has Demonic Qi when she wakes up. Therefore, I need to proceed gradually."

Xue Wei muttered to himself, in the Illusory Realm, Xiao Xiao’s gaze gradually cleared as part of the Demonic Qi was drawn away.

"It’s not right! This situation is definitely wrong! I shouldn’t waste time with this Phantom here! This place seems to be my Illusory Realm, and the guy before me is nothing more than an imagined enemy. If I continue fighting him, I fear I’ll never escape!"

Upon regaining her senses, Xiao Xiao looked at the Fake Ye Qingchen before her with no emotion in her eyes.

The Fake Ye Qingchen continued with a sarcastic air: "What’s wrong? Xiao Xiao? Aren’t you seeking revenge for your master? Why stop now, are you scared? Haha, I knew someone like you couldn’t protect your master!"

However, Xiao Xiao’s gaze gradually sharpened, and the words of the Fake Ye Qingchen did not immediately anger her.

"You’re just an imaginary enemy, do you really think your words can upset me? My master would never think that way of me. Even if I can’t protect him, he would never blame me!"

Xiao Xiao shouted resolutely.

Her determined voice instantly unsettled the Fake Ye Qingchen.

"Impossible, absolutely not! Why would you think that way? You absolutely cannot! You killed Ye Qingchen! It’s all because of you! Because of your Demonic Qi you attracted me, you caused Ye Qingchen’s death!"

The Fake Ye Qingchen’s shrill voice roared continuously.

Xiao Xiao covered her ears involuntarily: "A mere Phantom is nothing to me! Let this all end!"

Speaking to herself, Xiao Xiao picked up the Longsword and plunged it into her chest.

The Fake Ye Qingchen’s eyes widened immediately upon seeing this: "No! No! You can’t just leave like this!"

In the next instant, the light around Xiao Xiao flashed brightly, and the Fake Ye Qingchen quickly dissipated into the air like shattered fragments.

After a while, Xiao Xiao finally opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was Xue Wei standing in front of her.

"Xue Wei, why are you here?" Xiao Xiao rubbed her aching forehead.

That was indeed her Illusory Realm earlier, if she had continued to engage with him, she would have never found a way out. Fortunately, much of the Demonic Qi on her somehow dissipated.

This allowed Xiao Xiao to regain her rationality and escape the Illusory Realm.

Xue Wei smiled and helped Xiao Xiao up from the ground: "You were in such a dire situation, I had to come and check."

Xue Wei looked at Xiao Xiao with concern.

Hearing his words, Xiao Xiao rubbed her temples and looked at him: "Did you pull me out from the Illusory Realm just now?"

Xue Wei gently sat beside her: "Of course, I didn’t pull you out, your escape was entirely your doing, I merely assisted."

Finding it truly was Xue Wei, Xiao Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

If it really was Xue Wei, did he see the Demonic Qi on her? If he did see it, would he tell others?

If her master learned of it, he would surely worry about her, a worry she didn’t want him to have.

Growing more anxious inside, Xiao Xiao stared blankly at Xue Wei.

"Xiao Xiao, if you have any questions, just ask directly." Xue Wei said with a kind expression.

"Um, when you helped me, did you see anything unusual on me?" Xiao Xiao finally asked what she wanted to.

Xue Wei understood silently, his face still calm.

"Xiao Xiao, are you referring to the Demonic Qi on you?" Xue Wei asked.

Xiao Xiao nodded, he truly saw the Demonic Qi on her, but how should she ask him not to disclose it?

Xue Wei seemed to notice her dilemma: "Little Girl Xiaoxiao, I know all this isn’t intentional on your part, rest assured, I will keep this a secret."

These words made Xiao Xiao feel immensely relieved, yet reminded her of what Xue Feng said earlier.

Xue Feng said that Xue Wei was definitely not a good person, his kindness was merely an act.

But at the moment, Xiao Xiao found it hard not to trust Xue Wei. After all, he helped her escape from the Illusory Realm, without him, she might never have found a way out.

She owed Xue Wei her life yet again, not knowing how to repay him.

"Xue Wei, I really must thank you, every critical moment it’s you who saves me, I don’t even know what I can do to repay you."
