As Yu Xi grabbed the bell string, Yue Bai's demonic energy burned and covered her entire body. Wherever she touched, demonic fire emanated, burning through the boundary between memory and reality, and she stepped out of the burning ashes out of thin air.

Chu Xiao saw Yu Xi suddenly appear, and he was not a human yet. After a brief shock, greed immediately appeared in his eyes:

"Half-demon?"

Yu Xi moved her eyes, one red and one white, and looked at him quietly.

She let out a long, slow breath, and in the instant that time seemed to have stopped, the entire tower was suddenly ignited, with a roaring demonic fire burning.

"roll."

she said.

As her voice fell, Chu Xiao was suddenly set on fire like a paper man, with flames all over his body.

He screamed and tried to put out the fire on his body, but the fire grew stronger instead of weaker. He wanted to attack Yu Xi, but as soon as he raised his hand, his entire hand was burned.

Qingxin watched in horror as Yu Xi acted so recklessly in the Huixin Secret Realm, not understanding how she did it.

But Yu Xi could act recklessly in the Huixin Secret Realm, but she couldn't. She couldn't extinguish the fire in Chu Xiao and could only watch her mentor wailing as he burned to death in front of her.

"Yu Xi!"

She roared and wanted to attack Yu Xi, but was bounced back before she could get close to Yu Xi. Then she saw fire on Qingzheng Qinglian's body.

Qingxin once again watched his fellow apprentices die tragically in front of him. Not to mention how devastated he was, Yu Xi had already focused all his attention on Zhong Xian.

Zhong Xian had no reaction to anything in the outside world.

Even though she held Zhong Xian's hand tightly, even though fire was burning all around him, Zhong Xian still leaned against the window, immersed in his own consciousness.

In order to let him witness the sea of ​​blood in Qiuluo City, Chu Xiao "kindly" used medicine to recast his eyes so that he could take a good look at what Qiuluo City looks like now.

But he could not see anything at this moment. A foggy darkness shrouded his consciousness, and the scene of him raising a knife and hurting people kept replaying in his mind.

He knew every person who was killed by the knife.

There are the mermaids who warmly entertain him, there is the butcher Lao Liu who has been slaughtering pigs for generations at the city entrance, there is the child who just learned to speak and can sweetly call him "Lord City Lord", and there is...

"You didn't kill that person!"

Someone's voice suddenly came.

Zhong Xian then realized that his hands were being squeezed so tightly that they were painful and burning.

He moved his eyes and vaguely saw a little girl sitting in front of him. She had long and thick fox ears, which were very cute.

"monster?"

He murmured hesitantly.

Suddenly, both sides of his face were slapped hard. With a crisp sound, he saw the little girl approaching him, holding his face with both hands and saying:

"What a monster! Are you awake now? I'm Yu Xi, Xiao Xi'er, your sister!"

Xiao Xier?

Zhong Xian's eyelids trembled twice quickly, and the darkness in his vision slowly faded away, but he still could not see Yu Xi's appearance clearly.

"...Xiao Xi'er."

He had obviously never heard of this name, but he felt it was extremely familiar.

Seeing that Zhong Xian was finally able to respond, Yu Xi could not care about anything else and said quickly:

"Brother, you didn't kill him. You have been deceived all along! The Immortal Sect took advantage of the fact that you are a mortal and cannot detect the spells, and created false memories for you. I will show you the truth!"

Yu Xi gets angry when talking about this.

Chu Xiao is a cultivator in the Spirit Severing Realm. He created false memories for a mortal and still had the nerve to act so high and mighty. He did all kinds of dirty and despicable things and did not have the virtues of an immortal at all!

As she spoke, Yu Xi's white eyes were filled with demonic power. She closed her eyes, pressed her forehead against Zhong Xian's, and showed him all the memories she had seen.

False memories collapse, and the real past emerges.

Zhong Xian opened his eyes slightly. The obsession and hatred towards himself that had been suppressed for hundreds of years, as well as the inferiority complex that was engraved deep in his soul and made him feel unworthy of being a human being, finally began to crack.

The light from the sky slanted down from the cracks, and he saw Yu Xi clearly in the firelight.

The vision is clear with Yu Xi as the center.

"Xiao Xi'er."

He called out, and the mist began to thicken in front of his eyes again.

Without waiting for Yu Xi to speak, he slowly reached out, tightened his arms little by little, and hugged Yu Xi tightly with all his strength.

"It turns out that I didn't kill him. It turns out that I didn't betray Qiu Luocheng until the end."

He choked up and said, "It was me who failed to protect them. I was useless. I finally saw the truth now, but I still thought they hated me..."

If it weren't for Xiao Xier, he might never see the truth until his death.

Zhong Xian never hated the people of Qiuluo City, he only hated himself. He killed the people he was supposed to protect. He didn't deserve to live, and this had become his obsession.

If Qingxin and the others had not falsified their memories and directly killed Qiu Luocheng's people, he would be filled with hatred and would do his best to survive and seek revenge.

But asking him to kill everyone would directly cause his faith to collapse.

To a certain extent, Qingxin and others can be said to have insight into people's hearts.

Now that we know that he has not harmed the people of Qiuluo City, the Secret Realm of the Heart will naturally not be able to trap him this time.

Yu Xi was a little breathless in Zhong Xian's embrace. She tried to stick her head out, hugged Zhong Xian back, patted him and said, "This is not your fault, brother. You have tried your best."

Zhong Xian shook his head. As the lord of Qiuluo City, he was responsible for not being able to protect the people of Qiuluo City.

But at this moment, the people who should be hated the most are Chu Xiao and his ilk!

Zhong Xian gritted his teeth and said, "They died too easily!"

If he had known this earlier, he would have tortured Qingzheng and Qinglian severely and made them suffer eternal damnation!

Fortunately, Chu Xiao's soul was still imprisoned by him, so he had plenty of opportunities to torture him.

Zhong Xian thought viciously.

After all, he is no longer the soft-hearted Zhong Wenyu of the past.

He can't live without Xiao Xier's bell strings now.

At the same time, the Huixin Secret Realm was disappearing little by little, and a passage to leave appeared in the pure white.

Zhong Xian picked up Yu Xi and was about to leave, but a barrier suddenly appeared in front of the passage, and Qingxin appeared behind the barrier.

Qingxin hated Yu Xi very much.

She looked crazy, staring at Yu Xi's white pupils, and said sharply:

"Even if your soul has taken away Hui Xin Yan, the Hui Xin Yan in my body has not been taken away! As long as I am here, you will never leave! Under the thunder tribulation, we will die together!"

She pronounced the last few words with particular pride.

Zhong Xian frowned and was about to take action, but Yu Xi stopped him and said first:

"Qingxin, you claim to be a righteous person and believe that you will never lose. But a hundred years ago, you lost to your brother who was still a mortal, to the ordinary people of Qiuluo City, to the demon tribe, and to the conservative monks. Do you still have the nerve to use the Eye of Return?"

Qingxin's face twisted for a moment, and he immediately hit back:

"So what? We are the ones who survived in the end! Everyone else died, and their deaths were meaningless. We are the winners!"

"Winner?"

Yu Xi sneered: “No, you are the losers because they succeeded.

“They are no longer with us from hundreds of years ago, but they planted the seeds. Hundreds of years later, the seeds took root and sprouted. In this secret place, they finally rescued the people they wanted to save. They succeeded.”
