She Would Leave Her Name for All Time and Become a Divine Maiden Revered by the World

[Here was what happened. During the Immortal-Demon War a thousand years ago, the Sect's elders and Sect Master had been hotheaded young men who had only recently joined. The Medicine Maniac and the current Sect Master had become the former Sect Master's Direct Disciples because of their exceptional talent, and both had to follow their Master into battle against the Devil Race. Young and full of fire, they even wagered that whoever killed more devils would become the senior disciple.]

Li Zi was spellbound by the story of those days.

The disciples' chatter died away too. They listened intently as the system recounted the past.

Li Zi asked excitedly, [And then? Did they kill a lot of devils? Anyone who survived that war must have been incredibly strong.]

The system's electrical crackle grew unsteady.

[The Medicine Maniac never took part in that battle. The night before it began, his childhood friend lured him into the Sect's Forbidden Grounds and drugged him unconscious. The Medicine Maniac had never been the least bit wary of him. When he woke, he was bound hand and foot beside the wall of an ancient structure. Two Devil Race horns had sprouted from his friend's head.]

Everyone held their breath.

[It turned out that after a devil struck his friend, Demonic Aura had lingered inside him and fused with his flesh, causing his body to mutate. He planned to use a secret art passed down through his family to devour the Medicine Maniac's Dantian and cure himself. Once the art was used, the Medicine Maniac's Cultivation would stagnate, even declining year after year.]

So that was why!

The rumors from back then had been true!

It was just that the Medicine Maniac had been attacked before he could join the war!

"No wonder..."
