Chapter 170: Over My Dead Body!

Due to the changes that occurred in the storyline, many things were meant to alter. That means. Even a few arcs would be skipped. For example, the part where the male lead would have gone out to search for a cure for his eldest disciple wouldn't happen anymore since Tyler and Feng Chao became dual partners.

The second thing was that in the original storyline, no one knew that the soul could be kicked out by using the dual cultivation technique. Both Tyler and the male lead were fortunate in this aspect.

So that was why the original Master Feng had embarked on a journey with the female lead. But now, neither did his eldest disciple fall unconscious nor was there any trace of a demonic soul. So the entire arc where both the male and the female leads in the original storyline went out and faced demonic cultivators' wrath would be skipped directly to the next best thing—spreading rumors.

For some reason, the rumors about how Cheng Xiu had been a demonic cultivator spread throughout the place, making the female lead anxious.

She didn't even do anything, but why were people saying that she was a demon?! She felt so depressed that she didn't even want to come out of her room anymore. Her master would handle everything, and she trusted him very much.

What she didn't know was that his master was the person who had spread such rumors about his young disciple to the entire world. This was something Shen Qiu wanted the demonic soul to do to mislead Tyler and the male lead.

And they were very successful.

At this time, both Tyler and the male lead were sitting in their pavilion with furrowed brows. They both reached the same conclusion that, for some reason, the demonic entity had entered the female lead. But Tyler still felt something was off about this whole situation.

Suddenly, someone's fingers touched the bridge of his nose and traced the eyebrows. "Don't frown too much, Tyler. You'll age faster."

Tyler rolled his eyes and slapped away the male lead's hand. "I still feel that there's something off about this whole situation. We didn't forget something, did we?"

"It doesn't matter. We will be together, won't we?"

Tyler pursed his lips. But just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, he heard someone's voice calling out from behind.

It was a servant who had been running toward them suddenly paused and glanced at the pair of master and disciple with a pale face. "Cheng Xiu disappeared."

Tyler raised his brows. It seemed like the female lead took over the role of the villain in this world too. But he suddenly felt unhappy about this. That girl was one of the people who liked to see him and his senior together. But now that she turned into a villain, would she carry out her role just as mentioned in the storyline?

They instantly went to see the sect master while thinking about the storyline. In the future arcs, the male lead was supposed to be banished and punished by everyone for teaching the eldest disciple demonic cultivation. And the original Feng Chao was supposed to be given a death sentence while the villain would have come and taken him away, attacking the female lead simultaneously.

But now that the female lead had become the villain this time, they knew that the authority of Kong Bao was higher. So no one could give him a death sentence. This would also disrupt the future arcs.

But Tyler wasn't worried about it. He just wanted to ignore the storyline and find a secluded place to live with his senior for a hundred years!

When they reached the sect master's pavilion, they found that everyone had been staring at them, especially at Tyler with darkened eyes.

This expression on everyone's faces made Tyler pause his steps, and he frowned. For some reason, he felt that there might be something wrong with the atmosphere.

That was when he noticed many other sect leaders in this place, who were also glaring at Tyler. Fang Guozhi was especially angry when he stared at Master Feng's eldest disciple's face.

Meanwhile, Feng Chao's hands tightened around his lover's wrist. He knew that something terrible was about to happen here, and things were already out of his hand. Then he looked at Kong Bao, who also averted his eyes and didn't dare to meet Feng Chao's eyes.

The male lead's expression darkened. There was definitely something wrong!

"Now that everyone has appeared, I want to make an announcement. After my youngest disciple disappeared this morning, I arranged for a heavy investigation in the sect and found crucial evidence." Tyler's heart lurched in his chest as he continued to stare at the sect master's face. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Then, Kong Bao looked at the pair of master and disciple holding hands intimately and felt guilty, but he steeled his heart to do this! He was pointing fingers at his junior martial brother and his disciple for the sake of his lover's life! Gritting his teeth, he added. "As most of you already know, Chang Hong is the person who taught my disciple the demonic cultivation arts. So we have made a collective decision after observing all the evidence we found."

After that, he placed many scrolls and jade slips on the table that had Tyler's handwriting. The latter was shocked after seeing this. He clearly hadn't done this, but why was Feng Chao pointing his finger at him?

It wouldn't be possible unless….

A terrible thought flashed in his mind. What if the demonic soul was in Kong Bao's body instead of Cheng Xiu?! If that was the case, then everything makes sense!

But unfortunately, he realized this too late. He heard the following sentence he heard from the sect master. "Chang Hong will be given a death sentence, and other sect masters and I urge everyone to act immediately!"

Before Tyler could react, the male lead pushed him behind and said in an icy voice that frightened half of the cultivators in the pavilion. "Want to lay a hand on him?! Hah, over my dead body!"
