“In that case, if I were you, I would seek revenge in the future.”

"Wu wu wu... Senior Sister, are you telling the truth... or are you just deceiving Yue'er..."

"That demon is so terrifying. It's been ten years... How could he have ever been as gentle as you say he was... Wu wu wu..."

In the room, a young girl with delicate and exquisite features, wearing a white gauzy dress and white stockings, sobbed as she spoke. Her long silver hair cascaded down, and despite being only 1.6 meters tall, she had a remarkably developed figure. This petite girl with an explosive figure was Liu Wanyue, Gu Yu's fourth disciple. Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, and a trace of blood was visible at the corner of her mouth. Her white dress was also stained with several spots of bright red.

At this moment, she was being held by a petite woman with purple hair and purple eyes, who also had delicate and beautiful features. The woman, wearing a black dress and bare white legs, was weeping as well. She was Gu Yu's first disciple, Qing Ying.

Hearing Liu Wanyue's words, Qing Ying felt a deep sorrow.

"I... I don't know what happened... That demon was once such a gentle person."

"But then he changed... and the change was so drastic..."

"He became an evil cultivator..."

As Qing Ying spoke, her eyes became hollow. She couldn't understand why the once gentle master, Gu Yu, had suddenly turned into such a terrifying demon, tormenting them every day. The little sister in her arms had just been slapped by their master and thrown against a wall, which was why there were bloodstains on her lips and dress.

If Qing Ying hadn't found her little sister and stood in front of her, the demon would have severely beaten her. Instead, Qing Ying took the beating, suffering significant injuries herself. But as the senior sister, it was her duty to protect her younger sisters. Besides, her cultivation level was higher than her three younger sisters': the third and fourth sisters were at the early Foundation Establishment stage, while the second sister was at the mid Foundation Establishment stage. As someone at the late Foundation Establishment stage, she could take more hits without much issue.

That demon, despite the severe beatings, would always heal them just enough to keep them alive. It was infuriating—he wouldn't let them die, just to continue their torment. Running away was futile; no matter where they fled, he would always find them and bring them back for more torture.

One time, she had led her three younger sisters to the imperial capital of the Xinghe Empire, ten thousand miles away from the Qingyang Sect. They had even received protection from the Empress of Xinghe. The Qingyang Sect was in a remote area of the Xinghe Empire's territory. They thought they had escaped and enjoyed a decent life for half a month, but then the youngest sister disappeared. Three days later, the third sister disappeared, followed by the second sister. Finally, Qing Ying herself was caught and brought back to Qingyang Sect.

It turned out their master, the demon Gu Yu, had captured them, no matter the distance. This crushed any hope of escape they had. After being caught, Qing Ying, who had led the escape, was relatively unharmed, but her three younger sisters were whipped until their flesh was torn and blood flowed, right before her eyes. She nearly collapsed from the sight.

The more she thought about it, the more sorrowful Qing Ying felt. She tightened her embrace around the unconscious Liu Wanyue. She couldn't understand why Gu Yu had turned into such a terrifying figure. She had been a wanderer since she was five and joined Gu Yu's sect at nine, initially living comfortably for two years. She had thought her life would be bright and promising. But after those two years, when Gu Yu took in the other three disciples, he changed. He became cruel, bloodthirsty, evil, and terrifying.

And so, ten years had passed. These ten years were the darkest of her life. Even if she became a powerful Immortal Sovereign or even an Immortal Emperor and ascended to the Immortal Realm in the future, she would never forget these ten years.

At that moment, Liu Wanyue heard the sound of the door opening. The noise startled Qing Ying, and she quickly turned her head, looking towards the door with a face full of anger. She held Liu Wanyue tightly, knowing that the only person who could enter this room was the demon. This was the demon's room, after all.

Sure enough, after the door opened, Gu Yu stepped inside. He looked calm, wearing a black robe. His nearly 1.8-meter frame appeared somewhat slender in the black robe. He exuded a cold, ascetic charm. If other women saw him, combined with his handsome face, they would undoubtedly be smitten.

But to Qing Ying, this handsome and charming Gu Yu only filled her with disgust and fear. This man, who looked so noble and attractive on the outside, had tormented her and her three sisters for ten years. She didn't even know how she had survived those ten years.

"Ugh! Demon! What are you here for now? Are you here to hit us again? Come on, hit me! If you have the guts, kill me! Hmph!!"

"As long as I don't die, I will seek revenge! I will cut your body into pieces! Tear your soul apart!"

Qing Ying shouted defiantly at Gu Yu. Despite her fear, she had to do this to protect the unconscious Liu Wanyue. By provoking the demon, she hoped to draw his attention away from her little sister. Every time she did this, Gu Yu would be enraged and focus his wrath on her, leaving her sisters unharmed. As the senior sister, it was her duty to protect her younger sisters.

However, to Qing Ying's surprise, Gu Yu didn't get angry. Instead, he shook his head slightly.

"Hmm... well said. If I were you, I would seek revenge too."
