I Just Wanted To Live but I Somehow Became Better Than the Protagonist

“Since the matter of the Lord of Destruction has been exposed, you must have guessed the reason for the disappearance of the Dan Bird Clan.” Yang Wei looked at Dan Yu’s youthful and vibrant face, her eyes filled with killing intent reflecting an old, ugly, lifeless face. He trembled and slowly knelt down: “I don’t ask for forgiveness for all the Xuan Sheep Clan, just for the innocent children.”

“Why didn’t you spare the children back then?” Dan Yu’s voice was icy: “Not to mention the Dan Bird Clan did nothing wrong, they simply suffered an undeserved calamity.”

Yang Wei did not respond, nor did he have the right to respond. He just silently kowtowed a few times.

Ye Yong would not interfere with what Dan Yu decided to do. The enmity of extermination is not something that can be forgiven just because you look pitiful after losing a battle. As the saying goes, a debt of blood must be paid in blood. Sooner or later, those who cause trouble will have to pay for it. Moreover, the Dan Bird Clan was not the only one harmed by the Xuan Sheep Clan.

Chu Moyan had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the situation. He gave Ye Yong a look, signaling him to talk aside.

“What is the identity of that female demon emperor?”

Ye Yong briefly mentioned the encounter at Shilin City and Dan Yu’s responsibilities.

Chu Moyan nodded, maintaining a calm exterior, but he actually noticed some doubts. First, he could feel a significant sense of oppression from Dan Yu, indicating that Dan Yu far surpassed the average sixth-level demon emperor. Such a potential threat had not been ‘cleared’ by the three semi-saints at the time, which was unreasonable. Even if Dan Yu was a benevolent demon, the saints would have turned a blind eye to her. How did those big cities and families with only third or fourth-level demon emperors have the courage to unite and attack Shilin City, which had a sixth-level powerhouse guarding it? Was it because they were bewitched by demon lackeys?

Fine, if they were really bewitched and became cannon fodder, would the demon lackeys themselves joke with their own lives? Before Chu Moyan rushed over, he had made serious preparations, but the result was bullying a dying old demon. There was no doubt that the opponent had already been injured by Dan Yu. Even if not injured by Dan Yu, they would not have gained any advantage from her.

This meant that the attackers had severely underestimated Dan Yu’s cultivation. So, there were only two possibilities. Either Dan Yu had hidden her strength too deeply, or she had undergone a significant transformation in a short period.

Finally, and most crucially, the Nine Tribulations Thunder Punishment, although only one strike, Chu Moyan could not be mistaken, because his master had fallen under the Thunder Punishment. Even from thousands of miles away, he could still feel the most terrifying killing intent between heaven and earth. The Nine Tribulations Thunder Punishment would not appear out of thin air. There should be no tribulation-transcending beings in the Xuande Realm.

Several doubts made Chu Moyan’s gaze linger on Ye Yong: “I heard you became the Holy Word here?”

“Just lucky.” Ye Yong had no idea that his sect master had thought so much in just a few seconds, thinking he was simply trying to confirm the rumors.

“Not bad.” Chu Moyan only said two words and then fell silent, looking into the distance, lost in thought.

“Young Master Ye, Yang Wei’s lifespan has ended, but the evil force within him has not dissipated. What do you think…” Dan Yu walked over at this moment.

Ye Yong was startled, forgetting to remind Dan Yu. A sixth-level demon emperor, with cultivation higher than his own sect master, addressing him with respect, how was he supposed to explain this?

But strangely, Ye Yong found that Chu Moyan had no reaction at all, as if he hadn’t heard, still gazing into the distance.

Following Chu Moyan’s line of sight, it was the retreating allied forces.

So much time had passed, and there had been a battle between the Great Ascension Demon Emperors in the meantime. The allied forces had long since awakened from the shock of the heavenly thunder, knowing that the situation was hopeless, they discarded their helmets and armor, and hurriedly fled.

During the exchange, the more than ten Demon Emperors had learned of Dan Yu’s terrifying cultivation that was insurmountable, and they deeply regretted their actions, not daring to linger at all, and left at full speed.

They were already prepared to bleed profusely, planning to proactively apologize later, and shift the blame, claiming they were misled and bewitched, to avoid being held accountable in the future.

No longer paying attention to the allied forces, Ye Yong knew that with the hearing of a Great Ascension cultivator, Chu Moyan could definitely hear what Dan Yu was saying. Chu Moyan’s lack of reaction definitely meant he had guessed something… Of course, no reaction was the best reaction, a form of tacit approval and non-interference.

Ye Yong unlocked the tool that shielded the demons: “Demons have strong vitality, directly destroy the host body, force it to reveal itself, and then annihilate it.”

Dan Yu nodded, raised his hand, and an attack turned Yang Wei’s dilapidated corpse into ashes. A black gas immediately floated out, without any contours or features. If it weren’t for the sword formation still in effect, it would have dissipated like smoke without attracting any attention.

“Human boy, you are interesting.” The black gas emitted an ethereal voice, seeming both distant and near.

“Lord Dan Yu, it’s up to you.” Ye Yong knew the nature of demons, didn’t bother to talk to it, and directly let Dan Yu take action.

“Wait!” The demon never expected Ye Yong to act out of the ordinary. It was a spiritual body, having left its host and weakened by the thunder punishment, it had no resistance at all. Words were its only chance to survive.

Dan Yu didn’t care what it wanted to say, if Young Master Ye wanted it dead, it would die.

A blazing flame, the black aura completely dissipated.

“The battle of the Demon Emperor, terrifying as it is… and that thunder punishment, what exactly is it…” Still on the top floor balcony of the Red Reverse Horse Tavern, still Lin Junran, but compared to the previous indifferent expression, Lin Junran’s face was now undoubtedly full of awe.

The world-shocking thunder, intimidating all things. The battle of the Demon Emperor, mountains crumbling and earth shattering. The most direct impact was that two-thirds of the eastern district of Shilin City had become ruins, just a few blocks away from the Red Reverse Horse Tavern. For the first time, Lin Junran felt how small and weak he was, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Not to mention him, a half-step Nascent Soul, even the nearby powerful Dongxu cultivator Lin Feng, had slightly trembling hands and rapid breathing.

“Who won this battle?” Lin Qiuya, although she did not witness the thunder falling with her own eyes, the overwhelming momentum still shook her soul. It took her a long time to recover a bit, her face pale.

“Shilin City.” Lin Feng saw the allied soldiers who had attacked Shilin City fleeing frantically, it was not difficult to guess the result: “That deputy city lord hid too deeply. If there was no external aid, that pressure of the sixth level of the Demon Emperor must have come from her. Fortunately, Young Master Junran had foresight, we stood on the side of Shilin City, no matter what, we contributed, and we should be able to get a reward when we go to see her later.”

As he spoke, he saw a sword cultivator slowly flying with his sword above the ruins, and beside him, a small magic carpet flying together, with four shadows sitting on it.

Exerting his eyesight, Lin Feng was surprised to find that the sword cultivator was actually the sect master of the Tianluo Sect of the Eastern Continent, Chu Moyan. And on the small magic carpet, there were three familiar faces.

The deputy city lord Dan, who had obviously become much younger, the flower demon who claimed to be the maid of the Ye family, and the boy from the Ye family. Plus a strange wood demon.

What is going on?

As they flew closer and closer, Lin Junran and Lin Qiuya also saw the people above, their expressions involuntarily froze.
