You and I Are Both Accomplices
The entire island was searching for the female cultivator named Zi Xun. You Su and Ji Xueruo, on their way, also encountered many cultivators with the same goal.
Many of them were eager for quick success and instant benefits, and directly attacked Ji Xueruo. Regardless of whether it was Zi Xun or not, they decided to subdue him first.
On one occasion, Ji Xueruo even witnessed a murder scene. The female cultivator had repeatedly pleaded and denied being the Fairy Zi Xun, and had even produced numerous tokens to prove her innocence, yet she was still murdered by greedy cultivators.
Their reasoning was that Zi Xun would certainly not admit to being Zi Xun, and might even have killed other female cultivators to disguise his identity.
So they stripped the female cultivator's corpse naked, some even going so far as to search her insides. In the blink of an eye, the solitary female cultivator was reduced to a blurry mass of flesh and blood. They didn't stop until they were absolutely certain that she had no inherited items on her body.
Even if they have no idea what the inherited item is or what it looks like.
When Ji Xueruo witnessed it, the female cultivator was no longer human; she deduced this from their curses.
She trembled with rage, feeling that someone on this island had gone mad. If the inheritance truly fell into the hands of such a beast, what future would the Five Continents have?
She even harbored resentment towards that True Immortal Zhengyang. This infighting and hellish situation was all because of his inheritance, yet he didn't do anything about it. What kind of successor was he looking for?
While she was filled with indignation, this group of people also set their sights on her, and only stopped trying to kill her after they discovered that she was Demon Race.
They were simply forcing her and You Su to tear off the talisman and leave the island. Like many others on the island, they were using their power to force others to withdraw from the competition for the inheritance, as if by driving away all the competitors, the final inheritance would fall into their hands.
Based on their threats, it can be inferred that such people have become quite popular on the island and have formed a sizable organization.
Ji Xueruo, of course, would not agree; she gritted her teeth in hatred.
This enraged the group. Someone suddenly said that the identity of the Demon Race might also be a disguise. As a result, they found a reason to commit violence and surrounded the group, even though it was a consensus among cultivators that human cultivators could not possess Demon Core.
Many of them had burning eyes that revealed their lust for Ji Xueruo's stunning beauty. Such is human nature; once the bottom line is breached, the hidden evil will surge forth like a burst dam. And this peaceful fairy island, where no one would condemn her, was a natural paradise for these wolves.
Ji Xueruo had never been so angry. Her aversion to male cultivators, which had lessened because of You Su, intensified again at this moment. Before she could make a move, You Su had already drawn his ink sword, and a deathly black line streaked across the sky, turning some people in the crowd into dust.
Neither of them held back; eager for a swift victory, they unleashed their full power in an instant.
Those who can enter the island all possess extraordinary abilities, but even among geniuses, there are differences. You Su and Ji Xueruo are geniuses among geniuses. Even without You Su's cultivation sharing, Ji Xueruo, who is all-around proficient in the path of Technique Method, will surely have her own day to shine across the five continents.
This group of people, used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, were terrified. They had never imagined that two cultivators at the Water Condensing Lower Realm would be so violent. The two were like witches and demons crawling out of hell, their cooperation seamless. When they remembered to tear off the talisman and leave the island, they discovered that a white snake in spirit form had been lurking on their bodies all along, snatching away their last hope.
In their despair, they discovered they hadn't died immediately; the boy wearing the strange magical Law Artifact had fed them his blood.
Such a battle was undoubtedly extremely taxing, especially for the two who had not yet recovered to their peak condition. They were eager to find Zi Xun and could not possibly drag their weakened bodies along, but they had offended Ji Xueruo, who in You Su's eyes was a certain death sentence.
So You Su turned them into flesh companions, drained their cultivation, and even gave a portion of it to Ji Xueruo, allowing the two to recover to their peak strength in a short time.
Ji Xueruo was quite surprised by her own condition; the Mystic Qi within her Demon Core was not only full, but had even slightly improved.
Could it be that his rapid progress is all because of this method?
You Su quickly disposed of the body, Ji Xueruo stood to the side, pursing her thin lips.
"You... do this often?"
"I used this to deal with those Evil Cultivator deeds before. This is the first time I've used it against someone who isn't Evil Cultivator."
You Su pretended to be calm and patted the dust off his clothes, but he was a little uneasy inside.
Absorbing someone's vital energy is by no means a righteous method, but he was forced to do so at this moment. By doing so, he was undoubtedly exposing his most terrifying side to Ji Xueruo Ruo.
Ji Xueruo remained silent for a moment, then took a step forward. Her voice was calm, and she did not ask any further questions.
"They are no different from Evil Cultivator."
Upon hearing this, You Su quickly followed. Ji Xueruo's calm demeanor made him uneasy. After a moment's hesitation, he explained:
"I feel the same way... Although Qu Zhaixing is also guilty, I didn't touch him in the slightest. These people are truly unforgivable, which is why I did this..."
To everyone's surprise, Ji Xueruo turned around, frowned, and asked, "Why are you explaining so much? Are you afraid I'll think you're a monster?"
You Su was stunned, then fell silent.
"In any case, I have benefited from your blessings and have no right to blame you."
Hearing this, You Su felt that the girl was only not blaming him out of necessity, and that it was not an endorsement of him at all, so he felt even more guilty.
Ji Xueruo looked at You Su's worried face, then pursed her lips and asked:
"You're not lying to me? This only happens when you're punishing evildoers?"
You Su nodded emphatically.
"So you'll do the same in the future? You'll never abuse this method?"
You Su nodded emphatically.
Ji Xueruo reached out and tapped You Su's forehead with her finger, as if trying to wake the fool:
"Isn't that settled then? This action is indeed Evil Demon, but I know your heart is not Evil Demon. Good deeds should be rewarded, and evil deeds should be punished, except that their punishment is for you. If you are a monster, then I am a relative of monsters."
Upon hearing this, You Su's initial unease transformed into boundless warmth. What he cared about most was the opinion of those he cherished. Ji Xueruo's understanding and trust dispelled his guilt, and feeling relieved, he couldn't help but pull the girl into his arms, embracing her tightly and whispering sweet nothings in her ear:
"Thanks."
Ji Xueruo blushed and quickly broke free from You Su's clingy embrace, protesting, "The relatives I was referring to were my aunt and brother-in-law!"
You Su smiled dismissively, "Anyway, you're already an accomplice, you can't escape responsibility."
"I was forced to do this!"
"Even if you're forced, you're still an accomplice. In short, you're tied to me for life."
You Su continued his shameless antics, arguing with Ji Xueruo to relax his mind and body, leaving behind the heaviness and unease of absorbing someone's essence.
"Roll!"
Ji Xueruo was furious and pushed away You Su, who was shamelessly trying to get close to her.
What Ji Xueruo didn't say was that after comparing so many people, she realized how precious someone like You Su truly was.
He is by no means a saint, but he would never be a bad person either.
If most people on this island possessed such a heaven-defying method, they would probably have long since become humanoid Evil God walking on the continent.
It is truly remarkable that You Su can adhere to the bottom line of only targeting evil people.
High in the sky, two suns watched over all of this.
But they are not the real sun; they are a person's eyes.
The workload is too light, I get off work too late, and the overtime during the National Day holiday is too severe.
