Chapter 150 The Corpse Demon's Confusion

If the Black Fox wasn't sad, why seek revenge?

Wasn't the girl in front of me the one who killed Yu Hao's family?

Could it be that Zero and I were wrong about something somewhere?

I asked calmly, "Why does your master want to see me?"

"She just wants to!" The girl spread her hands. "Master always does things on a whim. So, I never ask her why! Got it?"

"Got it!" I said, but I was even more confused.

The Snow Mountain Corpse Demon, the calamity of the Ao Xue Sect, could it really be such a scattered existence?

I followed the girl deeper and deeper into the secret passage. The corner of my eye caught a glimpse of messy writing on the wall.

"What have I forgotten?"

"What exactly have I forgotten?"

"I should kill someone, but who?"

"I seem to be waiting for someone too, who am I waiting for?"

The words on the wall, like those at the entrance of the Wind and Snow Eye, were written by the same person—a Corpse Demon who had forgotten everything. But why was she so fixated on the Ao Xue Sect? It didn't seem to make sense.

The girl in front seemed to know I was looking at the writing. "Those are all written by Master! Don't worry about them. You'll understand when you see her."

"Oh!" I casually replied, but my heart sank. I saw a sentence written in the corner of the wall: "Why can't I remember anything when I get here!"

That short sentence was full of desolation and helplessness.

What really frightened me was the content of that sentence—it meant that the Corpse Demon had never left the tomb. She couldn't remember anything when she got here. She had no purpose. What would she do if she left the tomb?

A Corpse Demon who had never left the tomb had threatened the Ao Xue Sect for hundreds of years?

Could there be two Corpse Demons on the Snow Mountain?

The other one is at the Ao Xue Sect!

Cold sweat poured down my forehead!

Ye Yang had taken Feng Ruoxing to the Ao Xue Sect. Wouldn't they run right into that Corpse Demon?

When I was at the Ao Xue Sect, Ye Yang had pulled me back. At the time, his signal was: there's someone nearby.

At that time, I didn't sense anything around me.

Later, Huang Tiangong and the others said they had seen a woman in a white dress. That's when I realized that Ye Yang had seen her before I did.

I had been calmly pushing forward with the mission ever since I left the Ao Xue Sect, because I felt there was something strange about the Ao Xue Sect's Tianguan (Heavenly Gate).

Later, on the way to the Wind and Snow Eye, Ye Yang kept tapping the hilt of his sword. That was also a signal to me. He was telling me that he wanted to find a chance to return to the Ao Xue Sect.

Ye Yang always felt that the real Corpse Demon was in the Ao Xue Sect, and he had to go back and take a look.

But, these words must not be revealed to Shen Qingbai. Because, none of us knew what role the Ao Xue Sect disciples were playing in this tribulation.

My entering the coffin and Ye Yang's breakout were plans we decided on the spot.

If Ye Yang and I were right, and Zero's plan was proceeding smoothly, then everything was fine.

But now everything was starting to reverse.

The Corpse Demon, who had always been regarded as the calamity of the Ao Xue Sect, had never left the tomb. So who was threatening the Ao Xue Sect's calamity?

I followed the girl for a short distance before a starlight like a sky full of stars appeared before me.

I looked up and saw a starry sky formed by countless beads of all sizes. Below the starry sky was a waterside village like those in Jiangnan.

I knew I was standing in a tomb, but I couldn't feel the gloom of the tomb. All I could feel was the coldness and loneliness.

The girl bowed slightly towards the small house. "Master, I've brought the guest you wanted to see."

"Please come in!" A gentle voice said, "May I ask, what is the honorable name of this gentleman?"

"Sorcerer, Li Po!" I stood outside the door. "I won't go into the house. I'm just a mortal. If I were to enter the painting rashly, I'm afraid I would disturb the fairy."

That person laughed softly, "You know, I am neither a fairy nor a human, so how can there be any talk of disturbing? Since you don't want to see me, then I will come out to see you!"

I felt a blur before my eyes, and a face of unparalleled beauty appeared in front of the house.

Corpse Demon!

The Corpse Demon, rumored to be capable of toppling all living beings, was indeed well-deserved of the name.

If the Yin-Yang Dual Blades at my waist weren't trembling slightly, I would have been lost in her beauty.

The Corpse Demon said directly, "Mr. Li, what do you think of my dwelling?"

I was silent for a moment before answering, "Starry sky, small bridge, houses, small dwelling, it should be as beautiful as a painting."

"But there is no one in the painting, the painting is empty; there is no emotion in the poem, the poem has no soul. There should be someone in the painting, but there isn't; there should be emotion in the poem, but there isn't. That's why it is so cold and lonely here."

The Corpse Demon nodded. "You're right! I've been waiting for someone and I want to do something."

"But I don't know who I'm waiting for? Or what I want to do?"

"Every time I get to the edge of the tomb passage, I come back, because I don't know what I want to do? What should I do?"
