In Li Shuang's perception, the malice from the person before her grew increasingly intense.
At that instant.
The spiritual energy light cluster she had reclaimed from Ye Zhaozhao subtly fluctuated.
Li Shuang's expression remained calm.
There was no mistake.
This woman before her must be Ye Zhaozhao!
Although there were methods of borrowing a corpse to revive a soul in this world, for an ordinary cultivator to revive, they first needed a top-tier secret art.
This step alone blocked 99% of cultivators.
After truly reviving, because the body was not their own, the soul and body would naturally not be compatible. Not only would cultivation growth become slow, but the soul body would also become quite unstable.
Moreover, the entire cultivation world regarded borrowing a corpse to revive a soul as an evil art. If anyone practiced this technique, they would be rejected by the entire righteous path.
But this demonic seed's methods were astonishing.
Ye Zhaozhao's current revival was surprisingly perfect. She had directly inherited the cultivation realm of the original person, and her soul body also appeared very stable. If Li Shuang hadn't been on guard beforehand, it might not have been so easy to discover!
"Parasitism complete. Host: Li Shuang. Please, host, stimulate Li Shuang's negative emotions and plunder Li Shuang's cultivation and luck." The system's voice rang out.
A subtle smile appeared on Ye Zhaozhao's lips.
It worked!
She had once again successfully parasitized the system onto Li Shuang.
In the hearts of the Sword Sect disciples, she should have already died once.
Now.
No one would have expected her to return so quickly.
And.
This time.
Her starting point was higher than last time, and her identity was more manipulable than last time!
She would definitely avenge the Sword Sect disciples for killing her once.
Her revenge plan would begin with these people before her.
"This must be Fellow Daoist Luo," Ye Zhaozhao said with an expression of admiration. "If you hadn't intervened in time, I might have made a grave mistake this time."
Luo Mingyue nodded perfunctorily. She had no particular like or dislike for this suddenly appearing Fang Qingyu; they were simply strangers with nothing much to say to each other.
Ye Zhaozhao was about to say something more.
Sheng Yuan suddenly said coldly, "Senior Sister Luo, you saw it yourself. Even if you hadn't acted, Fellow Daoist Fang was nearby. We only needed to hold on for another moment, and she would have arrived. The three of us working together might not have been unable to defeat these wolf demons. This is mine and Second Junior Brother's mission, and the mission spoils should rightfully belong to us."
Sheng Yuan's expression was stubborn, his gaze fixed on Li Shuang.
At this moment.
He didn't even know if he was saying these things for the three demon cores or for Li Shuang's attention.
Luo Mingyue sneered, "I killed the demons, and I took the demon cores. If you're unhappy, go to the Enforcement Hall. I'd like to see who would listen to your nonsense!"
Ye Zhaozhao's eyes flickered. She glanced at Sheng Yuan: "Fellow Daoist Sheng, you might be overestimating me a bit. Although I have a wind spirit root, I am a rogue cultivator, and I'm usually only good at escaping, not attacking. Even if I had come, I would never have been a match for these wolf demons."
Shen Yue quickly said, "Senior Brother, this mission was completed thanks to Senior Sister Luo's help. Please don't say such things anymore."
With that, Shen Yue sincerely thanked Luo Mingyue.
Sheng Yuan pursed his lips.
He knew Shen Yue was right, but an inexplicable anger lingered in his heart, an anger that made him unwilling to back down no matter what.
"You finally said something sensible," Luo Mingyue glanced at Shen Yue.
It seemed that among the few people from Lingxu Peak, Shen Yue was relatively normal.
Luo Mingyue was too lazy to bother with these people anymore. After packing up, the Wuxing Peak disciples left on their swords.
Ye Zhaozhao watched them leave, but she wasn't in a hurry at all.
The system had successfully parasitized Li Shuang, and even if Li Shuang left, she could still vaguely sense her location.
But if she was alone, she had no legitimate reason to follow Li Shuang and the others.
Ye Zhaozhao looked at Sheng Yuan and Shen Yue.
She put on a righteous expression: "Fellow Daoist Sheng, Fellow Daoist Shen. Fellow Daoist Luo and the others seemed to be in a hurry; they must be on a sect mission, right?"
Shen Yue nodded: "Probably."
And this mission must be quite difficult.
Otherwise, even Luo Mingyue wouldn't have personally gone.
"Fellow Daoist Luo eliminated the wolf demons, helped you complete your mission, and brought peace to the surrounding common folk," Ye Zhaozhao coaxed. "Now, they also have a mission to complete. Shouldn't we also help them a little?"
"How do they need our help?" Sheng Yuan said stiffly.
Ye Zhaozhao quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, I can tell that there seems to be some misunderstanding between you and them. If you can help them complete their mission this time, perhaps they will change their opinion of you, and the past misunderstandings will vanish?"
"There's no misunderstanding!" Sheng Yuan said, craning his neck.
However, his expression involuntarily softened a little.
The past misunderstandings vanishing?
Could his relationship with Senior Sister Li also return to how it was before?
Ye Zhaozhao glanced at Sheng Yuan, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
Heh.
She had poured her heart out to these people for ten years.
Now.
"Ye Zhaozhao" was dead, and not one of them showed any sadness.
Instead, they were all eager to curry favor with Li Shuang!
Who couldn't see Sheng Yuan's attitude?
If Li Shuang gave him a kind look, he would probably lie down and wag his tail!
Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Ye Zhaozhao said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, what do you say?"
Shen Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior Brother. Why don't we follow them and see?"
Sheng Yuan said expressionlessly, "Since you insist, then let's go and see! They helped us once, and we'll help them once. From now on, we'll be even. Lest they return to the sect and claim to be our saviors."
"Most Sword Sect disciples' missions are to slay demons and monsters and protect the common folk! If you go, I wish to go with you," Ye Zhaozhao quickly said.
"Fellow Daoist Fang also has a chivalrous heart, so let's go together," Sheng Yuan agreed.
A smile finally appeared on Ye Zhaozhao's face.
Even starting over.
Indeed, the most foolish ones were still these few people from Lingxu Peak.
This time.
She would use these two as stepping stones to get close to Li Shuang again.
Only this time.
Her goal was not to curry favor with these useless people from Lingxu Peak.
Her previous failures had taught her that these useless people from Lingxu Peak could no longer stir Li Shuang's emotions.
If she couldn't provoke Li Shuang's negative emotions, she couldn't plunder her cultivation and luck.
Now, Li Shuang cared about someone else.
She and these people from Wuxing Peak seemed to get along very well, didn't they?
She had once cast her into an abyss; what harm was there in casting her down again?
Li Shuang had devoted herself to those people from Lingxu Peak for so long, and she had still easily snatched them all away.
She could still snatch away those people from Wuxing Peak.
When she falls into the abyss again, who will save Li Shuang this time?
A smile appeared on Ye Zhaozhao's face, and she said softly, "In that case, let's hurry and follow them."
Sheng Yuan and Shen Yue both agreed.
