185: Chapter 185 A Realm of Despair, Where Demonic Thoughts Arise!

Yun Feiyang opened his eyes.

The back of his head felt like it had been hammered all night, and his head was heavy and groggy.

"Last night..."

He rubbed his temples, and his memories pieced themselves back together, fragment by fragment.

Xingwan called him Brother Yun, poured him wine, and talked to him.

He drank the wine, and then...

Yun Feiyang's hand stopped abruptly.

What did he say?

All the information about the Secret Realm...

He had said it all.

"That's not right."

He was a Cultivator in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Unless he voluntarily withdrew his protective Spiritual Qi, it would be impossible for him to get drunk to this state.

"Xingwan?"

He stood up and called out toward the inner room.

There was no response.

"Xingwan!"

Still no sound.

Yun Feiyang walked around the table and pushed open the door to the inner room.

"Brother Yun, you've finally woken up..."

A mocking voice suddenly rang out.

In that instant, every hair on Yun Feiyang's body stood on end.

Because there was a person standing on the open ground outside the house.

Dressed in moon-white brocade robes, with sword-like eyebrows reaching his temples, he stood with his hands behind his back.

Gu Changsheng.

Yun Feiyang's hand gripping the Qingming Dao Sword stiffened.

A chill surged from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head.

"How did you..."

He took half a step back, his spine pressing against the doorframe behind him.

"How did you find this place?"

He had specifically chosen the most remote Qingxi Kingdom in the Eastern Region and hidden in a valley that wasn't even marked on the map.

The area for a hundred miles was uninhabited; even a bird flying over could be detected by his Divine Sense.

More importantly, when he rescued Ruan Xingwan from Changsheng Peak, he had checked her thoroughly, inside and out.

There were no tracking marks, no Divine Soul imprints, nothing at all.

"I checked when I rescued Xingwan," Yun Feiyang stared at Gu Changsheng, his voice hoarse.

"There are no marks of yours on her."

Gu Changsheng looked at him and smiled, not answering his question directly.

Instead, he looked over the wooden house and the surrounding area, finally praising it.

"Brother Yun, you certainly have refined taste; this place can be considered a location of peerless scenery."

"As for how I found you?"

"Naturally, Xingwan told me."

These words hit his ears, and Yun Feiyang's mind went blank.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

"You... what did you call her?"

Gu Changsheng ignored this.

He tilted his head and glanced toward the wooden house.

"Come out."

Footsteps came from behind him.

Yun Feiyang turned his head abruptly.

Ruan Xingwan walked out from the side door of the wooden house.

She had changed her clothes, wearing a plain white long dress, her hair tied behind her head, her expression calm.

"Xingwan! Come over! Get behind me!"

Yun Feiyang held his sword horizontally in front of him, reaching out toward her with his free hand.

"Gu Changsheng is here; hide behind me first, I will risk my life to get you out of here!"

Ruan Xingwan stood at the doorway of the wooden house and looked at him.

In that look, there was no panic, no anxiety, not even a ripple of emotion.

She withdrew her gaze, lifted her skirt, walked around Yun Feiyang, and went to Gu Changsheng's side.

Then she turned, faced Gu Changsheng, and bowed slightly.

"Master."

Two words.

Yet they hit Yun Feiyang like a heavy blow, his eyes tearing with rage.

The heartache was like a knife cutting into him!

He never expected such a situation; the woman he loved most actually called his greatest enemy 'Master'!

"Xingwan... what did you say?"

Ruan Xingwan did not reply; she lowered her eyes and stood half a step to the right of Gu Changsheng.

Respectfully.

"What did you do to her?!"

Yun Feiyang glared at Gu Changsheng.

He had been with Ruan Xingwan since childhood and naturally knew her personality; she was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and definitely not someone who feared death.

It must be that this Gu Changsheng used some despicable method.

Gu Changsheng reached out to brush his cuffs, his tone casual.

"Heart-Control Spiritual Pact."

"An evil item that has long been lost. Once this pact is implanted, the mind completely obeys the caster."

"Her consciousness is still there, her memories are still there, she understands everything."

Gu Changsheng turned his head and glanced at Ruan Xingwan.

"It's just that she doesn't listen to herself anymore."

Upon hearing this, Yun Feiyang was enraged, his expression wild, and he shouted angrily.

"You are a dignified Saint of Dao Xuan! The number one person of the younger generation in the Eastern Region! To use such a thing on a young woman?!"

"Are you even human?!"

Gu Changsheng put his hands behind his back as if he had heard a joke.

"If I didn't use this, how would I obtain those secrets in Brother Yun's head?"

Yun Feiyang's body swayed.

He finally understood everything.

From beginning to end, every step was within Gu Changsheng's calculations.

The grand wedding was bait, the lax guards were bait, the empty side hall was bait.

Ruan Xingwan herself was the biggest bait.

She had been implanted with the Heart-Control Spiritual Pact at Changsheng Peak.

But that thing couldn't be checked or detected.

He rescued her, took her to escape, and gave her his whole heart.

And then, when he was drunk, he extracted all his secrets.

And then told Gu Changsheng his location.

"Xingwan! Wake up!"

Yun Feiyang rushed forward two steps and shouted at Ruan Xingwan.

"Look at who is standing next to you!"

"He killed your father! He destroyed Xingluo Valley!"

"He is your sworn enemy who killed your father!"

Ruan Xingwan raised her head.

Her eyes met Yun Feiyang's gaze.

There was everything in those eyes.

There was clarity, there were memories, and even pain.

But there was no response.

Gu Changsheng stood to the side, his lips curling into that smile that made one's whole body feel cold.

On the screen in his eyes, a line of golden text flickered.

[Ding! Child of Luck Yun Feiyang has suffered a major setback, his emotional Foundation is shaken, and his faith has shattered! Depriving him of 150,000 luck value!]

[Current remaining luck value of target: 20,000]

[Reminder: The target's luck value has dropped below the execution threshold; the host may choose an opportune moment to execute.]

Seeing this, Yun Feiyang's Dao Heart completely collapsed.

His face turned deathly pale, his heart ached as if it were tearing apart, a wave of dull pain surged, and even his breathing stalled!

"Gu... Chang... Sheng!!"

Yun Feiyang roared wildly, his expression twisted and distorted, his eyes blood-red as he stared at Gu Changsheng, his eyes burning with monstrous killing intent!

Two lifetimes.

In his previous life, Gu Changsheng stole his Opportunity, snatched his Dao Companion, and forced his master's sect to their deaths.

In this life, he thought he could change everything.

But from beginning to end, he was just like a clown, played in the palm of someone's hand.

Even the woman he loved most had been refined into a Puppet.

This hatred and resentment went into his bones and marrow!

There is only...

Kill!!!!

The Spiritual Qi around his body surged chaotically, and every strand of his hair stood on end.

Thin lines of blood seeped from the corners of his eyes, and as his Divine Soul churned, there were already faint signs of him falling into the demonic path.

"Today, even if I have to shatter the Nine Serenities, burn the Azure Heavens, and stir up the Yellow Springs! I will make you, Gu Changsheng..."

"Pay for your blood debts with blood!!!"
