On that quiet night, moonlight streamed through the window and into the peaceful room, elongating the figures of Su Xinli and the swordsman.
Su Xinli still held onto the swordsman tightly, while the inner demon of the demon clan within her was quietly awakening. Its voice, like a whisper from a distant dark abyss, seeped into Su Xinli's consciousness.
"Xinli, I've been waiting for this moment. I will make you belong to the demon clan from now on. Those who cultivate immortality must avoid breaking their precepts and bodies before becoming immortals. Today, I will make sure you can never return to Immortal, Sky Walker."
Inner demon possessed Su Xinli at this moment. Her eyes were searching and bewildered as she looked at the hero. She grabbed the hero's hand and hugged him.
Su Xinli's eyes revealed confusion and pain, as she struggled internally. On one hand, she felt a deep attachment to Immortal, Sky Walker, while on the other hand, she felt the call of her demonic bloodline.
She knew that once she fully succumbed to the temptation of her inner demon, she would never be able to return to the immortal path. She would forever lose her family and fellow disciples in the immortal sect.
At that moment, the knight held her tightly, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He felt a pang of sadness at not being able to replace Immortal, Sky Walker in Su Xinli's heart, and at the same time, a hint of jealousy.
Under the control of Inner demon, Su Xinli was unable to free herself. Her eyes were filled with struggle, and her inner self was screaming, "Knight, don't, let go of me, that's not me." But her body was not under her control, responding to the knight's embrace.
The gentle night breeze brushed by, and the moonlight outside the window dappled into the room, casting onto the entwined figures of the two people, creating a haunting yet desolate scene.
Everything in the room seemed to be frozen in this moment, and the air was filled with an indescribable tension and oppression.
At this critical moment, a gentle yet firm voice resonated in Su Xinli's consciousness, it was the voice of her master, the Immortal, Sky Walker: "Xinli, do not give up. There is light in your heart, and that light can dispel all darkness."
Upon hearing this familiar yet distant voice, Su Xinli's spirit seemed to be moved by some kind of power, and she began to struggle, trying to break free from the control of her inner demon.
At this critical moment, her only wish is to maintain her sense of self and not be consumed by the darkness.
Her clothing is no longer intact, with only a thin bralette remaining. While this may appear extremely fragile to outsiders, in her eyes, it is her final stronghold in the battle against her inner demon.
The knight seemed to have lost his rational and calm demeanor at this moment. The confusion in his eyes seemed to be driven by some indescribable emotion as he reached out to Su Xinli, attempting to pull her into his embrace.
Su Xinli was filled with conflicting emotions, both feeling sorry for the person in front of her and being extremely afraid of being controlled by him.
In the room, the atmosphere was unusually tense. The decorations around were simple and quaint, and the moonlight from outside cast into the room, shining in harmony with the candlelight inside, casting mottled shadows, creating a quiet and eerie atmosphere. In this ancient setting, the battle of the soul appeared particularly intense.
Su Xinli tried to remain calm, exerting all her strength to free herself from the control of the Inner demon, and forcefully pushed the swordsman away. Her voice carried a firm and unquestionable strength: "Swordsman, please wake up!"
The knight's eyes seemed to clear at this moment, his hand paused in mid-air, trembling as if engaged in a fierce struggle with some force deep within his heart.
At that moment, a sudden gust of cold wind extinguished the candlelight in the room, plunging the entire room into darkness.
Immediately, Su Xinli felt a powerful force surging from deep within her heart, a combination of celestial power and the power of the demon race that she had never felt before—the power of the Nine Heavens Profound Rainbow Sword.
She took a deep breath, concentrating all her strength, and waved the void sword in her hand in the darkness. Brilliant rays of light flashed in the darkness, illuminating the entire room and the astonished yet complex gaze of the knight.
"Look carefully, knight. This is the power of me, Su Xinli. I am not just a disciple of the immortal clan, nor a pure descendant of the demon race. I am a warrior who has integrated the essence of both, walking my own unique path." Su Xinli's voice was firm and powerful, the sword light weaving magnificent patterns in the darkness, as if telling of her determination and courage.
Under this dazzling light and shadow, the knight finally regained his clarity. The light of justice and the unwavering belief in protecting the weak once again shone in his eyes. He looked deeply at Su Xinli, his eyes revealing complex emotions. "Xinli, I was wrong. I should not have been blinded by greed and desire."
Su Xinli stopped the sword in her hand and walked towards the knight, gently holding his hand: "We are all learning, learning how to become better versions of ourselves, how to find our place in this intricate and complex world. Your protection makes me feel warm, but I also hope you understand that some feelings cannot be forced."
The knight nodded and responded affectionately, "Xinli, I understand. From now on, we will be comrades fighting side by side."
Under this profound understanding and commitment, the relationship between Su Xinli and the knight became stronger. They supported each other, grew together, and were no longer just about one-sided protection, but true partners.
As time passed, with the knight's help, Su Xinli gradually gained control over the complex inner demon power within her. Her skills with the Nine Heavens Profound Rainbow Sword and the technique of the Ten Thousand Demons and Souls Immortal Protection became increasingly exquisite, and her physical condition also improved day by day.
As Su Xinli's condition gradually improved, the experiences she shared with the knight left a deep imprint in her heart, like a long epic story.
This journey was not only a healing process for her body, but also a tempering of her heart and spirit. However, just as she was fully recovered, the knight suddenly proposed to part ways.
That day, the candlelight gently swayed in the room, casting the shadows of the two figures. The knight's tone carried a hint of helplessness and determination: "It's time, our paths end here. We may meet again, Xinli, go find your master and save him."
Su Xinli was taken aback by these words, then deeply touched and grateful. She knew the difficult and reluctant decision behind the knight's actions, which showed respect for her growth and recognition of her strength.
"Knight, I..." Su Xinli began to speak, but found her words to be powerless at that moment.
She approached the knight and looked at him affectionately, "I respect your decision. But please remember, no matter when or where, we are each other's strongest support. I will find the master and wake him up. Perhaps one day in the future, we will meet again."
The knight smiled slightly, it was an expectation for the future, and also a relief for the present, "Xinli, I believe in you. You are the most special person, with the power to change the world. Go, fulfill your mission. I will continue my journey elsewhere."
Two people embraced and parted ways. On this quiet night, the moonlight shone like water, illuminating Su Xinli's journey back to Chen Yue Palace.
She held the Nine Heavens Profound Sword in her hand, her heart filled with a longing for peace and deep affection for her master. This time, she was no longer the vulnerable woman in need of protection, but a warrior with formidable strength.
