C8 The Truth of the Headless Drowned Body

Qingwei glanced at the Demon Subduing Tower again, then lowered her head to look at her feet. She was silent for a while, then slowly opened her mouth and said, "Actually, I am really a small koi fish cultivating in the Celestial Jade Mountain. Our clan borrows the celestial aura of the Celestial Jade Mountain to cultivate, but in the past tens of thousands of years, only a few people have ascended to become immortals, and their status in the Heaven Realm is also very low."

The dark blue light of the Demon Subduing Tower shone on Qingwei's pale face, and it was a little strange. She continued, "Originally, our clan lived in seclusion here, and our lives were very peaceful. However, suddenly, four thousand years ago, an immortal came to our clan and said that there was a way to increase the chances of us ascending. From then on, everyone started to fight for the very small chance. Everyone was no longer brothers and sisters."

Yuli sneered, "An immortal?"

Qingwei nodded, "Yes, it was an immortal. At that time, I was still very young, but I clearly remember that it was a female immortal. She had a mask on her face, but even with a mask on her face, one could see that she was very beautiful from her eyes and brows."

Yuli muttered, "A female immortal?" Then, Yuli hesitated for a moment and continued, "If she really was a goddess, why did she start the internal strife of your clan?"

Speaking up to this point, Qingwei smiled helplessly, and then continued, "This, I don't know." Qingwei sighed softly and said, "The once peaceful and quiet place no longer exists. In the thousands of years that I grew up, I saw with my own eyes that my father and brother died in the hands of my clansmen. It's just because their innate talent was slightly higher than the other clansmen."

Speaking up to this point, Qingwei's eyes flashed with tears. She looked up at the sky, probably not wanting her tears to fall from her eyes. After a moment of silence, Qingwei continued, "Actually, I came down the mountain to chase after that female immortal. One day, I heard someone calling my name in my dreams. At first, I only felt that I was dreaming, so I didn't think too much about it. Later, I opened my eyes and what appeared in front of me was a thick fog. I couldn't see where I was, so I started to panic and searched around."

"You must be very scared." Qingwei raised her head and saw Yun Yan slowly walking towards her. Yuli slightly turned her head and looked at Yun Yan. Yun Yan stopped beside Yuli and repeated, "You must be very scared. I had a dream like this before, and it scared me so much that I didn't dare to close my eyes and sleep for several nights."

Qing Hui nodded slightly and said, "Mm, I'm very scared."

Yuli raised her hand and gently touched Yun Yan's head, and said gently, "If you're scared, then there's still me."

Yun Yan smiled and nodded to his master.

Qingwei continued, "Actually, it wasn't me dreaming that time, but reality. I saw that female immortal again. She held my hand and told me that as long as I did as she said, I would become an immortal."

Yuli squinted her eyes and looked at Qingwei, "Then what did she say to you?"

Qingwei said, "She said there were a lot of strange people at the foot of the mountain. As long as I ate a part of their bodies, I would be able to become an immortal."

Yuli sighed and said, "And then? Then you would find an opportunity in the water to kill those who were near the river and eat their heads?"

Qingwei shook her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's like this, but not like this. I turned back into my original form in the river, and it was like what you saw, a red carp."

Yun Yan added, "It's a red glowing carp. I have seen the only living thing that can emit light, which is a firefly. At first, I thought that I saw a firefly, and when I got closer, I realized that there was a glowing carp in the grass."

Qingwei said, "My original body was like this. Those people were also attracted by my glowing body, but they were not good people. They all wanted to capture me and then kill me."

Yun Yan said angrily, "Then you shouldn't have killed them. They are no different from you, and they are also living lives."

Qingwei said, "Living lives? Aren't the chickens, ducks, and fish that you eat everyday a life? Do you think of us like this?"

Yun Yan said anxiously, "But these animals were born to be eaten by us."

Qingwei sneered, "I am a carp. Every day you go down the river to catch fish, and then those fish become your meal. When are you going to think that they also want to live?"

Seeing that he was in the wrong, Yun Yan said forcefully, "Don't distort the facts. You killed people, living people."

Qingwei said angrily, "I killed people. If they did not have any intention to kill me, how could I kill them? I wanted to ascend to become an immortal, so I dragged them into the water first. After they drowned, I ate their heads one by one. So what? I will repay them one by one. I have also taken revenge for my clansmen. "

Hearing Qingwei's words, Yuli did not know how to continue. Indeed, the food chain in the world was a chain. Humans ate small animals, but large animals could also eat humans. Why did humans eat animals, but they ate humans instead? This, how should he do it?

Yuli only felt a headache. This was the first time he was at a loss in such a situation. What Qingwei said was right, but they were also wrong to be eaten. So, was this headless corpse a retribution for humans?

Ever since he was born, Yuli had always lived in the high and mighty Ninth Layer of Heaven, worshipped and revered by the people. He felt that the things that the people did for immortals were right. And today, this logic was said by a small carp that was still a spirit. He instantly felt that what she said was right. In terms of right or wrong, it was just that everyone stood on different sides.

Perhaps, he was born in another world and had to worry about cultivation and survival since birth, so his view on this matter might be very different.

With his hands behind his back, Yu Li walked in the courtyard for a long time, and he was silent for a long time. In the end, he waved his sleeves and locked Qingwei into the Demon Subduing Tower.

Yun Yan looked at her master who was hesitant, but also seemed to be very decisive. She felt sorry for Qingwei, but she could not do anything.

Yun Yan looked at Yu Li and said in a low voice, "Master, are you really going to lock her in the Demon Subduing Tower?"

Yu Li sighed and said, "I haven't thought about how to deal with her yet. I'll lock her here for now."

Yun Yan looked up at the Demon Subduing Tower that was still emitting a faint blue light. It was quiet inside, and Yun Yan said, "Master, are there really so many demons and monsters in here?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "We only locked in some small demons that were not enough to be afraid of, but I really don't know what Qiyue locked in."

Yun Yan looked worried and said, "Then, is she still alive?"

Yu Li said, "Don't worry. When I locked her in, I set a barrier on her body. Ordinary demons can't hurt her."

Yun Yan looked at the Demon Subduing Tower, then looked at his master. He thought to himself, "Qingwei, don't worry. I will find a chance to save you."
