Chapter 176: I Remember Everything Now

“It’s truly incredible... A righteous cultivator not only can practice the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique, which supposedly only the old witch Bixia could master, but now he can also easily hold the Demonic Origin Sword in his hand...”

Watching the scene gradually fade away on the screen, the members of the Evil Sky Sect were all visibly shocked.

The elder, Gu Li, looked incredulous and then avarice appeared in his eyes, “If we could capture him and study him thoroughly, perhaps we could discover some unique traits that we have never seen before.”

“He must have a unique physique, bones, or spiritual charm.”

Xue Po also spoke up, “If he can control the Demonic Origin Sword, then, could he also control other evil swords that our Evil Sky Sect plans to forge?”

As they spoke, everyone’s gaze turned towards the leader of the Evil Sky Sect. The leader of the sect glanced at them coldly, sending a chill down their spines.

Then, he said, “This Ye Xuan must not be left alive. If you see him outside in the future, take the opportunity to kill him.”

“Yes–!” Upon hearing this, everyone respectfully agreed.

However, the shock in their hearts had not subsided. Thinking back to how Ye Xuan had easily grasped the Demonic Origin Sword, they were somewhat worried.

If all the righteous cultivators could control the Demonic Origin Sword as easily as Ye Xuan, then their so-called trump card, the Evil Sky Sect, would become a joke.

Thus, if given the chance, Ye Xuan must be eliminated. Such a unique talent like Ye Xuan posed a greater threat to the Evil Sky Sect than even Qin Zhenren.

...

Naturally, Ye Xuan was unaware that he had been marked as the greatest threat by the people of the Evil Sky Sect.

At this moment, he was about to return to the Taihua Immortal Sect with Qingxue and Yu Ling’er.

After all, holding such a dangerous item as the Demonic Origin Sword, he felt uneasy not rushing it back to the Taihua Sect.

“Is that so...” Hearing this, Hu Lan frowned slightly.

“Could it be that you like Ye Xuan because of your guilt? What do you really feel about Ye Xuan?”

“I... I like him, not just out of guilt. But... I’m a little scared. Without those memories of Hu Qian’er, I don’t know how to get along with Ye Xuan... I’m afraid that being with him will hurt him.”

“After all... as Wan Yuxin said, maybe Hu Qian’er never really liked Ye Xuan. Otherwise, how could she so easily give up the memories she had with Ye Xuan?”

“So, for now, I dare not meet him. I feel very guilty... Maybe, I need some time to calm down and think about my past with him.” Hu Qianzao replied.

“Memory is also part of a person’s soul. Since Hu Qian’er has already given up her memories, you won’t remember them no matter what you do.”

Hu Lan shook her head and said, “If you force yourself to remember, it will only drive you crazy.”

“Must I really live with this guilt towards Ye Xuan forever?” Hu Qianzao asked unwillingly, “Without Hu Qian’er’s memories... I always feel uneasy.”

“Let the past stay in the past.” Hu Lan said, “Ye Xuan doesn’t mind, so why should you care so much?”

“Yes...” Hearing this, Hu Qianzao responded softly, but her expression betrayed her feelings. Without those memories, she felt too disconnected.

She knew she should love Ye Xuan and that she owed him, but she couldn’t remember those things. She even sometimes wondered if those past events she saw really happened.

Without the foundation of those memories, the things Ye Xuan did for her, though touching and guilt-inducing, also felt somewhat unreal.

If she could remember her time as Hu Qian’er, perhaps she wouldn’t feel this way. While Hu Qianzao was thinking this, suddenly, it felt as if a flash of light burst in her mind, and countless memories began to emerge.

All the moments she had spent with Ye Xuan, their past love, all resurfaced. At this moment, Hu Qianzao’s tears flowed like a spring.

She hadn’t willingly given up on Ye Xuan. It was Wan Yuxin that took her memories away–!!! She had not wronged Ye Xuan, but she had hurt him.

“I... I remember, I remember... Senior Hu Lan, I remember–!!!” Unable to stop her tears, she turned to Hu Lan and said, “I remember my past.”

“You... remember everything?!” Hearing this, Hu Lan was shocked.
