Chapter 1 The Demonic Intent

Hu!

Gu Shan and Xu Jingming appeared in mid-air, not far from the inn where Xu Jingming was staying.

"This time, the heavenly demon has the strength of an eighth-realm demon subduer," Gu Shan said. "This is the first time, Junior Brother, that you're refining a heavenly demon's obsession, and it happens to be a heavenly demon of this strength. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

Xu Jingming smiled slightly. "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I've consulted a lot of information and know the dangers of refining a heavenly demon's obsession."

"Remember, guard your heart," Gu Shan reminded again. "I'll go back first."

The two martial brothers parted ways.

Gu Shan drifted away, while Xu Jingming transformed into a ray of starlight and landed in the courtyard of the inn.

"Seventh Uncle hasn't returned yet?" Xu Jingming looked at Seventh Uncle's room. They had both gone out early in the morning to stroll around this city, collecting a large amount of information about 'demons'.

Xu Jingming entered his room, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed to begin cultivating his Visualization Method.

Visualize the Primordial Star!

After years of studying "Light Ray Chapter," coupled with the accumulation of a large amount of scientific knowledge, the 'Primordial Star' that Xu Jingming visualized was becoming more vast and terrifying, and his mental power was also growing stronger.

Three hours later, it was already late at night, and Seventh Uncle had returned early to rest.

Xu Jingming, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes and stopped cultivating the Visualization Method.

"My mental state is at its best." Xu Jingming took out a black jade bottle from his bosom, looking forward to it. "After being in the Demon Subduing World for so many years, this is the first time I've refined a heavenly demon's obsession."

"Come on, even the eighth-order limits are going crazy for it. I want to see what's so special about the heavenly demon's obsession."

Xu Jingming unplugged the bottle, and his demon-subduing magic power immediately wrapped the wisp of natal demonic aura in the bottle and flew it directly into his mouth.

"Boom." His brain roared…

Powerful memories impacted Xu Jingming's consciousness.

"I am Yu Xin, no… I am Xu Jingming!" Xu Jingming was…

The impact of the memories made him lose his identity for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and began receiving the memory filled with fervent beliefs.

Everything was as if Xu Jingming had personally experienced it, experiencing the life of 'Yu Xin'.

Yu Xin came from a low-level family in the city. After his father died of illness, Yu Xin went out to work at the age of twelve to subsidize the family and support his younger siblings.

Without a father to shield him from the wind and rain, the twelve-year-old boy suffered a lot when he went out to work.

He loved practicing martial arts, but he didn't have the money to go to a martial arts gym. He could only save money and grit his teeth to buy a sword manual for half a tael of silver. Only after finishing a hard day's work could he squeeze out some time at night to practice his swordsmanship. Only when he was practicing the sword was he happiest in the day.

Finally, his younger sister married out, and his younger brother also took a wife.

Only then did he, as the eldest brother, feel a little more relaxed. This year, he was already twenty-five years old, but he was already decadent and old, looking like he was in his thirties.

Later, he was appreciated by Head Constable Li, and with his decent swordsmanship, Yu Xin was able to enter the yamen and become an ordinary yamen runner. Only in the yamen did he truly come into contact with complete martial arts cultivation.

This was the first time in his life that he had such an opportunity, and he was eager and earnestly practiced.

In the year he turned twenty-six, Yu Xin entered the martial dao and officially became…

…a constable! His hair turned black, and he looked a lot younger. His married-out sister and his younger brother finally respected him, the eldest brother.

Yu Xin was cautious in his work, because when he was a teenager, he had been forced by gang members, and in a frenzy, he killed the gang member.

Although the matter was not leaked, he also knew the danger of life-and-death combat. After becoming a constable, he was also careful. He cherished the life of being a constable, with food and drink, and the work was easy, much happier than the days before.

Head Constable Li admired him very much and intended to marry his daughter to 'Yu Xin'.

Head Constable Li's daughter had also practiced martial arts since she was a child, and although she was not a beauty, she could be considered to have a good appearance.

The young men and women got along well, and they both had feelings for each other.

Yu Xin only felt that life was getting better and better, and he cherished such days. Head Constable Li also imparted his martial arts to him without reservation.

Finally, Yu Xin got married!

Because his strength had improved further, coupled with Head Constable Li's connections, Yu Xin finally became a head constable.

He lived a down-to-earth life and was very good to his wife. 'Yu Xin', who had been wandering in the lower echelons of society for many years, was very clear about the survival rules of the lower echelons. He was also very clear that in a place like the city, he, a head constable, was just a nobody.

He led a group of constables around him, avoiding danger and earning benefits, and was deeply trusted by the constables.

However, on that day, he returned home after a busy day and was chatting with his wife about the affairs of the yamen.

He encountered a demon subduer fighting a demon.

The commotion of the fight affected all directions, and it also affected his home.

The surroundings became a pile of rubble, with countless deaths and injuries, and his home was among them.

When Yu Xin died, he was protecting his wife, doing his best to resist the purple light that was coming. But it was useless; his strength could not withstand the impact of the demon subduer and the demon.

He was full of unwillingness when he died.

"I've suffered since I was a child."

The black-clothed youth said calmly in Xu Jingming's consciousness, "When I was a teenager, I went out to work. The child without a father was bullied by the owner, bullied by adults, and bullied by gang members. Only my mother felt sorry for me; she knew my suffering." "I endured it; I had to endure everything. Later, my mother died of illness. Only me, a half-grown child, was taking care of my younger siblings. How many times did I feel that this life was so meaningless, that I came into this world to suffer?"

"Once, I picked up a brocade pouch, and inside it was actually a ten-tael silver ingot and some loose silver."

"I was at home, holding that ten-tael silver ingot, and didn't sleep all night. That was the most exciting and happiest night of my life." The black-clothed youth said, "You've also experienced the feeling of holding ten taels of silver in my memory, isn't it wonderful?"

Xu Jingming listened.

In the memory, the young Yu Xin held the ten taels of silver and went crazy with excitement all night.

"After working hard for more than ten years, my younger siblings all have their own families, and I can be considered worthy of my parents." "Later, my master led me into the yamen, and my life truly got better."

"My master was as kind as a mountain to me, and he also married his daughter to me. I promised my master that I would protect my junior sister with my life." The black-clothed youth looked at Xu Jingming. "She is the best person to me in this world, better than my younger siblings, but what was the result?"

The black-clothed youth had tears in his eyes and said softly, "Do you think that it was the demon subduer and the demon fighting that affected the surroundings?"

"When a demon's obsession is first born, it is protected by the heavens and earth before it condenses into a demonic body. The demon subduer cannot detect my existence." The black-clothed youth said, "So my obsession also discovered the truth. That demon subduer named Fan Mu did it on purpose, intentionally affecting the surroundings and slaughtering thousands of lives."

Xu Jingming was stunned.

"Intentionally affecting ordinary people is to give birth to more demons." The black-clothed youth's eyes seemed to have flames. "When I heard this secret, I went crazy! My home was destroyed for this reason."

"I only had one thought at the time!" The black-clothed youth stared at Xu Jingming. "Demon subduers, deserve to die!!!"

Xu Jingming listened silently, without refuting.

"I went crazy, but my obsession became even stronger. I was already at the limit of the Earth Demon when I first condensed my demonic body." The black-clothed youth gritted his teeth and said, "I couldn't suppress my anger. After condensing my demonic body, I searched for a full half month without resting for a moment! I finally found that demon subduer, Fan Mu." "I captured him alive, crippled him, and didn't let him commit suicide." The black-clothed youth said in a low voice, "I tortured him for three full days."

"He told me that the value of countless ordinary people's existence is to give birth to demons." The black-clothed youth sneered, "He didn't think he was wrong at all. He also said… there are many, many demon subduers who do this. He gave out 73 names at the time."

Xu Jingming was silent.

There were such demon subduers.

He had fallen out with the high-realm demon subduer Zhang Ke because he discovered that Zhang Ke was actually disguising himself as a heavenly demon and intentionally slaughtering ordinary people.

After Xu Jingming discovered this, he was naturally furious, feeling that Zhang Ke was a madman.

Zhang Ke, however, felt…

…that this was a virtual world, and demons were the resources for the path of evolution. He also said that Xu Jingming couldn't distinguish between 'reality and virtuality'. Xu Jingming also refuted him, and the two sides fought a great battle. Zhang Ke was no match and fled in a sorry state.

"I was just wondering." The black-clothed youth looked at Xu Jingming. "You demon subduers, why do you want demon obsessions so much? For the sake of demon obsessions, you would repeatedly slaughter living beings? You are creating demons, even more terrifying than demons!" "There are such demon subduers, but only a very few." Xu Jingming said, "Just like you can't sentence everyone to death because there is one murderer." "A very few?"

The black-clothed youth sneered, "Demon subduer Wu Ming, I know your reputation; I've heard that you've helped many ordinary people. But… you also deserve to die."

"Why?" Xu Jingming looked at him.

"The demon subduers who slaughter living beings, because there are members of the Holy Light Sect, Mi Jia wants to protect them. And you, you saved Mi Jia. In the end, that old man came to help you again, killed me, and gave my obsession to you!" The black-clothed youth looked at Xu Jingming. "You demon subduers, help each other! You are a group, a group that protects each other!"

"You are high and mighty, willing to save if you want to save, wanting to slaughter if you want to slaughter, everything depends on your preferences."

The black-clothed youth stared at Xu Jingming, "But we countless ordinary people also have feelings, and we also get angry! I know that facing countless demon subduers, we demons are just a joke."

"But, we demons will not hesitate to give our lives, we will not hesitate to let you demon subduers know!"

"Those who slaughter living beings will also be slaughtered."

The black-clothed youth's eyes turned red, "Only by deterring with slaughter can those demon subduers know that it is a sin to slaughter ordinary people!"

"Every word and action has its cause and effect."

"The demon subduers started the cause, and we demons are the effect!"

The black-clothed youth became even more frantic.

Xu Jingming could sense his powerful belief.

Xu Jingming could refute some of Yu Xin's ideas, but, in his heart, Xu Jingming felt that… Yu Xin was not wrong to do so! Some demon subduers should know that the virtual world also has its backlash!

Countless planetary lives live in this virtual world for decades, and this is a part of their lives that cannot be trampled on!

"How should I refine Yu Xin's heavenly demon obsession and let his obsession dissipate?" Xu Jingming looked at Yu Xin in front of him. Yu Xin's obsession was as firm as a rock, making it too difficult for him to dissipate.
