1. Patient Care
In the valley, the calm and silence of the woman in white initially made Lin Ye feel a sense of detachment. However, as time passed, he gradually began to feel her patience and attention to detail. Whenever Lin Ye’s injuries worsened, she would immediately prepare medicine for him or provide whatever support was necessary. She did not rush to impose any pressure on him but instead quietly watched over him, allowing him to recover his strength at his own pace. Her words were few but carefully measured, and the care she gave Lin Ye was silent and subtle.
This made Lin Ye begin to lower his guard. Though doubts still lingered in his mind, he realized that her actions carried no hostility. In fact, there was a certain subtle care in them. Perhaps, this mysterious woman was not a simple enemy; at least, she was not trying to harm him.
In the tranquility of the valley, Lin Ye began to slowly recover. His inner fear and confusion gradually diminished, and his trust in the woman also grew as he began to let go of his caution.
2. Revealing Her Identity
One day, unable to hold back any longer, Lin Ye asked, “Who exactly are you? Why did you save me?”
This time, the woman in white finally broke her silence and softly replied, “My name is Xue Yao, and I am a disciple of the ‘Sword Immortal Pavilion.’”
Lin Ye frowned slightly. He had heard of the “Sword Immortal Pavilion,” a secluded sect known for its strong swordsmanship legacy. It was rumored that the disciples of the Sword Immortal Pavilion possessed exceptional swordsmanship talents and their strength far exceeded that of other sects of the same age.
“Sword Immortal Pavilion?” Lin Ye murmured to himself, his eyes showing a hint of shock. Although the sect was not as well-known as the Tianyuan Sect, it was powerful and had a solid background.
Xue Yao did not offer further explanation. She simply stared at Lin Ye, seemingly waiting for him to respond.
“I saved you, not out of kindness, but because of the special bloodline power within you,” Xue Yao said coldly, as if stating a fact. “The reverse-scale bloodline within you holds great potential, but it is also highly susceptible to corruption by evil forces.”
Lin Ye was taken aback. He had never realized that the bloodline within him held such terrifying power. The reverse-scale bloodline was known for its world-destroying power, and he had always thought it was just a part of his strength. He had never truly investigated its origins or the danger it posed.
3. The Source of the Evil Force
Xue Yao continued, “Your demonic transformation is the result of absorbing too much evil power. The reverse-scale bloodline within you is difficult to control, and with the corruption from the evil forces, it has caused you to lose control. If you continue absorbing such evil power, your bloodline will become further corrupted, and eventually, you will fall completely into the demonic path, becoming an irreversible evil being.”
Lin Ye felt a heavy weight in his heart. He had never imagined that everything he had been through was so closely tied to the power of the bloodline within him. He had tried to control it, but had never fully understood its origins or limitations. Each time he lost control and felt pain, it seemed like the demonic power was in control, and he was just a vessel consumed by it.
“Will you help me?” Lin Ye finally asked, unable to suppress his desire for a solution. He could feel the power radiating from Xue Yao. Her aura matched her words, and as a disciple of the Sword Immortal Pavilion, she was clearly extraordinary. If she could help him, perhaps he could find a way to deal with the demonic force within him.
Xue Yao was silent for a moment before replying, “I will help you control the demonic force within you, but it will require time and great patience. You need to cultivate the sword path. Only the pure power of the sword can suppress the evil forces within you and prevent them from having a fatal impact on you.”
Lin Ye nodded. He knew that, at this point, he had no other choice. If Xue Yao, as a disciple of the Sword Immortal Pavilion, was willing to help, then the sword path might truly be the only way to suppress the demonic force within him.
4. Conclusion
Lin Ye’s heart was filled with complex emotions. Despite the mystery surrounding Xue Yao’s identity, she was undoubtedly the only person who could help him. Moreover, the powerful sect, Sword Immortal Pavilion, seemed to be opening a new door for him. Perhaps this was his only chance to survive.
From now on, he would follow Xue Yao and practice the sword path to suppress the demonic force within him. However, would this path be as simple as it seemed? What secrets did his bloodline carry? The challenges ahead would surely unfold, and perhaps, with Xue Yao’s guidance, the answers would slowly emerge.
