Chapter 819: Chapter 838: Meeting Chang’e Again

“Can’t you forget Da Yi’s death? Or are you worried about Ye Xuan’s whereabouts?” Yu Niang said softly, having followed her mistress for so many years, she naturally understood what was in Chang’e’s heart.

“Da Yi died because of me. This is an unrelenting guilt in my heart. As for Ye Xuan being taken by the Western Two Saints, I fear there will never be another day for us to meet in this life.”

Guanghan Fairy bitterly smiled and murmured to herself. She slowly turned her head to look at Yu Niang, her eyes somewhat vacant as she said, “Yu Niang, why do you think I should live?”

“This…?”

Looking at Chang’e’s mournful expression, Yu Niang was silent and stunned, not knowing how to answer this question.

“It seems you can’t answer this question either.” Guanghan Fairy self-mockingly smiled. She stood under the laurel tree, her whole demeanor becoming increasingly desolate.

“Everyone lives for someone else, though no one is willing to admit it, yet this is the truth.”

Suddenly, a gentle voice echoed at the mountain’s peak, causing Guanghan Fairy to be stunned on the spot, while Yu Niang’s expression drastically changed as she searched for the source of the voice, exclaiming in warning.

“Bold! This is the residence of the Witch Clan’s Holy Daughter, who dares to trespass…!”

Suddenly, Yu Niang’s words came to an abrupt halt because she saw a familiar figure, someone who terrified her even unto death.

“Ye… Ye Xuan?”

Yu Niang retreated in horror because in the distance at the mountain’s peak, Ye Xuan was strolling towards them. He wore black, his gray-white hair streaming behind him, with a faint smile on his face as he looked at Guanghan Fairy.

“Ye… Ye Xuan… what… what are you going to do?” Yu Niang suddenly turned alert, blocking Ye Xuan’s path, yet her trembling figure betrayed her panic-stricken heart.

For Yu Niang had never forgotten how Ye Xuan killed many of the Witch Clan back then, and even personally slew Da Yi, utterly ignoring Guanghan Fairy’s pleas for mercy.

Moreover, what terrified Yu Niang the most was that after the battle of the two Heavenly Courts, Ye Xuan was taken away by the Western Two Saints, yet now he appeared within the Witch Clan’s Ancestral Land. If Ye Xuan truly commenced a massacre, it would certainly bring disastrous damage to the Witch Clan, even if the six Ancestor Witches were present, they might not stop him.

“Yu Niang, long time no see.” Ye Xuan smiled slightly, nodding kindly to Yu Niang.

“Ye Xuan, you should leave quickly. If the Ancestor Witches find out you’ve come to our Witch Clan, they will surely not let it rest.” Yu Niang said with a pale face.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan seemed not to hear Yu Niang’s advice. Instead, he raised his eyes to look at Guanghan Fairy under the laurel tree, a smile appearing on his face.

“You’ve come.”

Guanghan Fairy bit her lips slightly, staring blankly at Ye Xuan, her eyes brimming with mist, her gaze extremely complex, even her aura becoming extremely chaotic.

“I’ve come.”

Ye Xuan said softly, then walked towards Guanghan Fairy until he reached beside her, cupping her face, observing her closely.

“After so many years, you’re still as beautiful as ever.” Ye Xuan sighed lightly.

“You’ve aged, and your white hair has increased.” Guanghan Fairy bit her lips slightly, stroking Ye Xuan’s gray-white hair, murmuring softly.

“Roaming green hills never grows old, only longing knows no end.” Ye Xuan bitterly smiled, muttering to himself as he looked at the Guanghan Fairy before him. He no longer restrained his emotions, finally expressing his longing.

“Do you love me?”

Guanghan Fairy stared blankly at Ye Xuan, finally asking the question she always wanted to ask.

“Love!”

Ye Xuan answered without hesitation. He could feel his heart, giving Guanghan Fairy a firm answer.

“Because I love you, I’ve come to see you.” Ye Xuan smiled bitterly, his eyes somewhat unfocused, quietly cherishing the warmth with Chang’e, as if this was what he longed for years ago, now truly possessing it.

“But… but… if you truly love me… why… why did you kill Da Yi… why did you kill so many of the Witch Clan… Ye Xuan… tell me… why all of this?”

Guanghan Fairy bit her lips tightly. Ever since Ye Xuan killed Da Yi and so many members of the Witch Clan, Guanghan Fairy felt a deep sense of guilt. If not for her, the Witch Clan would not have suffered Ye Xuan’s massacre, which is something she could never let go of.

Seeing Guanghan Fairy’s mournful expression, Ye Xuan looked up silently, his eyes somewhat unfocused, a self-deprecating smile curving at the corners of his mouth.

“If I don’t kill, people will kill me, so I kill all those who want to kill me. Only this way can I stand in this chaotic Heaven and Earth.”

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze from the sky, then quietly observed Guanghan Fairy saying, “In this world, there is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness.”

“If I had been killed by Da Yi back then, if the Witch Clan had wiped out the Heavenly Court’s Daoist, how could there be today’s conversation between you and me?” Ye Xuan spoke calmly.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Guanghan Fairy’s face was mournful, shaking her head slowly saying, “You could have changed; you really could have changed. If you truly love me, can’t you change for me?”

“I can’t!”

Resolute and cold, Ye Xuan uttered the words, his mind flashing with Liu Baiyi’s smile and Sun Wukong transforming into the Five-Colored Divine Stone. His gaze became increasingly cold.

“Then why did you come to find me?” Guanghan Fairy spoke mournfully, asking Ye Xuan with a forlorn gaze.

“Crossing tribulation, crossing the second tribulation of the Heavenly Dao.” Ye Xuan said calmly, quietly watching the woman he loved, though a trace of sadness seeped through.

“Crossing tribulation?”

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Guanghan Fairy was stunned, for she couldn’t understand what Ye Xuan meant, only that a sour feeling emerged in her heart.

“Among Heaven and Earth, there are three methods of attaining sainthood. One is sainthood by merit, two is sainthood by cutting three corpses, and three is sainthood by proving Dao with power. I follow the path of proving Dao with power.” Ye Xuan said calmly.

“Proving Dao with power?” Guanghan Fairy murmured, then suddenly looked at Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with immense astonishment.

“Ye Xuan, are you mad? Proving Dao with power is merely a legend. In the Witch Clan’s ancient texts, detailed records state that all who embark on the path of proving Dao with power ultimately end in complete annihilation.”

Guanghan Fairy spoke anxiously, finally understanding why Ye Xuan’s cultivation was always terrifying compared to others. Even the two Great Demon Emperors were defeated by him, for he was indeed walking the path of proving Dao with power.

“Stepping into the Quasi-Saint, the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, I’ve already crossed the first tribulation. Meeting with you now is to cross the second tribulation, which is the emotional tribulation that I’ve feared to face!”

A self-mocking smile curved at Ye Xuan’s lips. His voice seemed calm, but if you listened carefully, you would find a slight tremble in his tone, proving that Ye Xuan’s heart was not at peace.
