So, Ning Yunmiao asked directly, "Sir, did you really kill him because he lied?"
Song Yan shook his head.
Ning Yunmiao said curiously, "Then why did you say so?"
Song Yan replied, "I planned to say it when he was alive to intimidate him, but I found he was actually listening to me, so I attacked him directly.
After he died, I told him these words again, that’s all.
Sister, am I very despicable, very shameless?
But...
Evil demons deserve to be exterminated by everyone, so why do we need to obey rules with such demons?"
As he spoke, he transformed the Butcher Cultivator into an Outer Body Incarnation.
Ning Yunmiao felt a bit troubled, she was no longer a young girl after all, she could tell whether her junior was despicable or not, but she was really in a difficult position, wondering what she should say.
At this moment, Song Yan sincerely said, "Sister, I was wrong."
Ning Yunmiao looked up and met his sincere eyes, sighed and said, "Don’t do it again, or... don’t touch me anymore."
Then, she added, "I know the false Song Yan made you a bit sad, but that Song Yan is exactly the image the sect wants to establish for you.
He slays demons and defends the righteous path, his conduct and deeds are exemplary.
I hope one day you’ll return to the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace, reclaim your name, and not tarnish that name."
Song Yan nodded and then raised his hand to point at the Outer Body Incarnation, projecting some images related to him outside.
Immediately...
Scenes began to emerge.
In the scenes, Song Yan, the prodigy of the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace, publicly declared, "The great Celestial Demon is the mastermind behind the destruction of many sects in the Western Nether Realm, capable of taking anyone’s mind and transforming into any form, committing countless evil deeds, unspeakable wickedness, most fond of assuming my form, hoping all sects remain vigilant,"...
The scenes also showed a righteous sect named Celestial Sound Sect issuing a bounty, placing this "great Celestial Demon" on the Evil Demon List, offering a Ruins Treasure and a favor as the cost, placing the "great Celestial Demon" among the top hundred on the list.
It’s worth noting that this "Evil Demon List" targets the entire Great Thousand Worlds, and making it to the top hundred is already quite famous, recognized by cultivators in any Cultivation Profound Land.
As for the Butcher Cultivator, he hailed from the Demon Mountain Star Realm, a fifth-level Cultivation Profound Land — Three-Headed Blood Domain.
In short, Three-Headed Domain.
The Butcher was an elder from a major sect named "Three-Headed Corpse Sect," his name was Tu Jue.
Tu Jue recognized Song Yan as the "great Celestial Demon" immediately because of his face...
His face was exactly that of Song Yan, the prodigy of the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace.
The prodigy Song Yan had already stated clearly, and Tu Jue seeing his dark aura, how could he not recognize it?
Ning Yunmiao was a bit stunned after watching these scenes.
Song Yan glanced at her and didn’t say anything like "Does Sister still want me to learn from such a Song Yan?"
Those who could pursue him were likely people from the Blood River Sect.
In other words, even if the false Song Yan wasn’t from the Blood River Sect, he was closely connected, and Ning Lao didn’t suppress this matter, showing that Ning Lao’s faction was either on the losing side or still investigating secretly.
Soon, the cultivator on the ground was captured.
This cultivator turned out to be a righteous cultivator from a sixth-level Cultivation Profound Land called Nine Yang Domain, named Zhang Lingfeng.
Song Yan also directly turned him into an Outer Body Incarnation.
He carefully avoided the Imprint of Impermanence, allowing it and Cause and Effect to be inherited by his Outer Body Incarnation.
Then, he released these two cultivators, as his Outer Body Incarnation, to gather information outside.
...
...
After Tu Jue and Zhang Lingfeng completely left, Ning Yunmiao sat silently next to Song Yan and said softly, "I really don’t know who can be trusted anymore."
Song Yan asked, "Who is the false Song Yan?"
Ning Yunmiao replied, "Arranged by the Palace Master, I don’t know his true identity, only that he always does things openly and beautifully, coupled with rapid cultivation progress, he’s now becoming a leader among the new generation."
Song Yan drew Sister into his arms.
The two swayed slightly, leaning against each other.
Song Yan gazed thoughtfully at the deep whirlpool of the Sea of Suffering, then took out a map resembling a stone slab, changing the subject, "The map of Purple Cloud Heaven, the first heaven of the Nine Heavens, there’s still lingering Divine Sense breath on it. Whether it’s a trap or not, the marked place is a great fortune."
