Tang Ya's Breakdown

The words had barely left her mouth when Tang Ya suddenly realized something was wrong.

[Blue Silver Saintess: Wait, Ah Yin. Could you be the mother of Ancestor Tang San, Ah Yin?]

[Ah Yin: Don't talk nonsense. Even if I have a good temper, I can still get angry.]

[Blue Silver Saintess: Could what he said be true?]

[Ah Yin: I am a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor who underwent Humanoid Transformation.]

Those words completely shattered Tang Ya's defenses.

No matter how unwilling she was to believe it, she could no longer deceive herself.

For a moment, she felt that her entire family's deaths had been utterly meaningless.

Just as her mind sank into despair, the Devouring Soul Power within her Soul Power, which had originally been nothing more than a tiny trace—

—began to rapidly multiply, swiftly devouring and converting other Soul Power.

Inside the carriage, Tang Ya, who had been lively just moments ago, suddenly became despondent.

Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao were both confused. She had clearly been fine just now, yet she had suddenly become like this.

Before either of them could say anything, a dense evil aura spread out.

Bei Bei's eyes narrowed. What was going on? Why did Xiaoya look so much like an Evil Spirit Master?

"Xiaoya, what's wrong?" Bei Bei reached out, trying to wake Tang Ya.

Before his hand could touch Tang Ya, several black Blue Silver Grass vines suddenly shot out, stabbing toward Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei.

Seeing the pitch-black Blue Silver Grass, Bei Bei felt an intense threat. He had no time to touch Tang Ya. With one hand, he grabbed Huo Yuhao and leaped out of the carriage.

The moment they left the carriage, there was a boom, and the carriage compartment instantly shattered into pieces.

The horse, which possessed a trace of Soul Beast bloodline, was so startled that it had not even had time to flee.

Several Blue Silver Grass vines bound it tightly. In just a few moments, before Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei's eyes, the entire horse was reduced to skin and bones.

"Evil Spirit Master." Bei Bei's heart sank. Tang Ya's actions now were unmistakably those of an Evil Spirit Master.

Huo Yuhao swallowed hard. If Senior Brother Bei Bei had not pulled him away, he would likely have ended up no better than that horse.

After absorbing the blood, traces of crimson appeared in Tang Ya's darkened eyes.

It was the bloodthirsty desire completely stirred awake after she absorbed blood.

As Tang Ya stared greedily at them with blood-red eyes, an inexplicable fear rose in Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao's hearts.

Bei Bei wanted to wake Tang Ya with words. He softly called, "Xiaoya, wake up."

But his attempt to awaken Tang Ya not only had no effect, it instead stirred her desire to kill.

Several strands of Devouring Blue Silver Grass extended from her side and lunged at Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao.

With a rumble, thunder exploded and destroyed all the Devouring Blue Silver Grass.

One of Bei Bei's hands transformed into a Dragon Claw, and his eyes became vertical pupils. Three Soul Rings hovered around his body.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao activated his martial soul and granted Bei Bei Mental Detection Sharing.

A trace of solemnity flashed through Bei Bei's eyes. Given the current situation, the only option was to knock Tang Ya unconscious and forcibly bring her back to Shrek, then ask his great-grandfather to save Xiaoya.

I'm sorry, Xiaoya.

With that thought in mind, thunder burst from Bei Bei's body. He lightly pushed off the ground and shot toward Tang Ya like a cannonball.

Although Tang Ya had fallen into a demonic state, she still sensed the threat.

A large amount of Blue Silver Grass rushed toward Bei Bei, trying to entangle him.

Bei Bei's first and second Soul Rings lit up, and the might of his lightning became even fiercer. With a casual swipe of his claw, he destroyed all the Devouring Blue Silver Grass winding toward him.

In an instant, he arrived before Tang Ya. His Dragon Claw reached out, intending to knock her unconscious.

At that moment, a streak of white light transformed into a human hand and grabbed Bei Bei's Dragon Claw.

Under Bei Bei's astonished gaze, the white light rapidly condensed, and a handsome youth slowly appeared.

With a casual flick, the youth sent Bei Bei flying into the air. In the blink of an eye, he was hurled back beside Huo Yuhao.

Then, with a mere stretch of his hand, Tang Ya vanished without a trace before Bei Bei's startled eyes.

"Brother, we are students of Shrek Academy, not bad people. That girl merely encountered a problem in her cultivation. She is not an Evil Spirit Master. Please let her go."

Seeing this, Bei Bei was frantic, but without knowing the youth's true strength, he did not dare push too hard.

He could only hope that Shrek's reputation would make the youth hesitate.

The youth was Wu Xian. He had originally been chatting away in the Chat Group.

But the Chat Group suddenly sent a message: Blue Silver Saintess has fallen into a demonic state ahead of time, greatly altering her fate. You have received fifty thousand points.

Even Ah Yin had received twenty thousand points.

Seeing this, Wu Xian realized that those few words of his had actually broken Tang Ya's defenses.

Wu Xian was somewhat speechless. Tang Ya's mental resilience was poor enough, yet she had still been stubborn.

Well, now she had gone and made herself collapse.

After all, she was a member of the Chat Group. He could not just watch Tang Ya fall into the demonic path and continue down it to the bitter end.

So, he immediately exchanged for a World-Crossing Talisman and rushed to this world.

As for how to save Tang Ya, that was simple. He only needed to take Tang Ya to Parallel World One.

Qian Daoliu would not even need to act. Qian Xunji alone could easily pull Tang Ya back from her demonic state.

It could not be helped. The sacred attribute was simply too effective against the evil attribute.

Especially against a novice Evil Spirit Master like this, who had only just fallen into a demonic state and whose evil aura had yet to invade her mind.

Looking at Bei Bei, who was acting as if facing a formidable enemy, Wu Xian suddenly wanted to test him.

"You say she isn't, so she isn't? Are you trying to tell me that the horse on the ground starved itself to death? Or are you trying to tell me that the dense black light around that girl is actually holy light?"

"Wait, you just said she is a member of your Shrek Academy. Oh, I understand. No wonder there are more and more Evil Spirit Masters on the continent despite all the purges. So Shrek, the force responsible for exterminating Evil Spirit Masters, is actually nurturing bandits to justify its own existence."

"No, that's not..." Bei Bei's expression changed drastically at those words. He wanted to say something, but after stammering for a long time, he did not know how to begin.

If he admitted it, Shrek's reputation would be utterly ruined.

If he denied it, what would happen to Xiaoya?

"She is not a member of Shrek. She is merely an ordinary Evil Spirit Master." Just as Bei Bei hesitated, an imposing voice rang out. A Soul Douluo suddenly appeared in the open space between Bei Bei and Wu Xian.

His tone was calm, as though he were merely discussing what he had eaten that day.

Staring at the Soul Douluo before him, Bei Bei lowered his head, pressed his lips together, and could not say a word.

"Tsk." Wu Xian curled his lips. With this Soul Douluo here, it seemed he would have no chance to draw anything out of Bei Bei.

He turned to leave, but a burst of Soul Power exploded beside him.

Shrek's Soul Douluo looked at Wu Xian and said in an unquestionable tone, "Boy, hand over the Evil Spirit Master. We will deal with her properly."

In the Shrek Soul Douluo's mind, not only did Tang Ya need to be dealt with, but Wu Xian had to be dealt with as well.

Otherwise, if Wu Xian went around spreading rumors, Shrek's ten-thousand-year reputation would face collapse.

Therefore, he would never allow Wu Xian to leave with Tang Ya.
