"How could this be Xiao Ye? He actually saved the War Goddess and the others!"
"He's so gentle with the little girl. Could it be that he hadn't turned bad yet during this period?"
"If he's a good person, then why did these monsters appear?"
As countless people gossiped, the expressions of the War Goddess and her companions also changed.
Ye Qingrou, tears streaming down her face, said, "So, back then, Brother Xiao already saved me."
"This is definitely not something Xiao Ye would do. How could he have saved us?"
The War Goddess and the others were all shocked.
Back then, they had considered themselves lucky to have survived and been brought back.
The scenes continued to play out.
The crowd suddenly noticed something was wrong with the little girl.
A dark aura surrounded her.
"This little girl has been infected by monsters!!"
Humans who were infected were no different from monsters.
They deserved to be killed.
But, to their astonishment, Xiao Ye did not kill the little girl.
Instead, he gently picked her up.
"What? Xiao Ye is using his own power... to help her?"
This was a monster infection; one wrong step, and the soul would be corrupted.
Everyone on Blue Star was stunned that he would risk himself to save the little girl.
The elders could not believe it. "Xiao Ye is actually protecting humans?"
"What a joke! This great demon was a good person during this time?"
They witnessed firsthand Xiao Ye helping the little girl to purify herself.
The dark aura suddenly transferred to Xiao Ye.
He was infected.
The Blue Star masses were filled with sighs.
At this moment, no one dared to criticize Xiao Ye.
They saw the little girl timidly ask, "Brother, did you kill all those monsters?"
Xiao Ye, unfazed by his infection, simply told the little girl, "Yes, little one, I'll take you home."
The consequence of a monster infecting a human.
Humans would become demonized, turning into beings similar to monsters.
They finally understood.
How Xiao Ye had become the bloodthirsty great demon!
The judgment platform.
The system curiously asked Xiao Ye, [Host, the little girl you saved back then must have grown up by now...]
Xiao Ye's eyes flickered.
[Yes, she's grown up. Xiao Xi is a lovely girl.]
When he was editing these memories, he had just realized his encounter with Xiao Xi.
Xiao Ye had included her in the edit.
The system saw that the host's sense of madness had significantly weakened.
It seemed that Xiao Xi was not a simple character either.
[Does she know you were executed by Blue Star? If she knew, why didn't she come to help you?]
Xiao Ye said calmly, [Because I told her not to come.]
The system was stunned.
The host had intended to die willingly!
[Host, please don't give up. We need to have a proper attitude towards clearing your name, and then...]
Xiao Ye interjected, [And then be a villain and sacrifice the protagonist to the heavens!]
The system was horrified. [No, no, no, Host, calm down! Can we go out and steal the protagonist's role?]
Killing the protagonist would cause the world to collapse.
They would both be finished.
[Put down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha...]
Xiao Ye didn't want to waste time arguing with the system. He just wanted to kill Hao Duoyu.
He had suffered so much over the years, and now he would get it all back, with interest.
Xiao Ye placed the latter half of the memories into the playback frame.
The scene shifted.
An elderly man lay dead in a pool of blood.
He was lying outside the house, with Xiao Ye standing before him, his expression unreadable.
"Teacher!!"
Suddenly, the voices of the War Goddess and the others arrived, rushing towards the old man in grief.
"Xiao Ye, you sinner! You actually killed our teacher!"
When Xiao Ye saw them, the demonic energy behind him was still shifting unpredictably.
Outside the memory projection.
"We all graduated from the same school. Xiao Ye was quite a talented student back then."
The War Goddess and the others' faces were filled with nostalgia, and they sighed, "Teacher really liked Xiao Ye. Even though he didn't like to cultivate, he never gave up on him. But we never expected that one day he would kill our teacher."
"Even if he was infected by monsters, killing our teacher is unforgivable."
Upon hearing the words of the War Goddess and the others, the crowd's faces turned furious.
Hao Duoyu felt a surge of satisfaction. He looked at Ye Qingrou, "Qingrou, do you see what kind of person Xiao Ye is now? He's a rebellious demon who has already assimilated into a monster."
"Ten years ago, it wasn't just our teacher who died, but also many, many of our Blue Star powerhouses. They sacrificed their lives to stop the monsters from harming people."
"What right do we have to forgive Xiao Ye for them? He is just..."
Hao Duoyu was eloquently slandering Xiao Ye.
Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the memory footage, and he became completely unsettled.
This time, the sky was a dull gray, and anomalies appeared in countless places.
From the most terrifying spot underground, monsters surged out madly.
The crowd's eyes widened. This was the day the monster seal was broken.
Countless people were about to sacrifice themselves.
Liu Qiaoqiao said hatefully, "Xiao Ye lured all the monsters out, causing disaster to our Blue Star. Countless people died. He has completely fallen into a demon..."
"If it weren't for the sheer number of monsters this time, we wouldn't have jumped into the Samsara Pool later, and so many powerhouses wouldn't have died tragically."
"All of this is Xiao Ye's fault!"
The fiercest monsters possessed power close to being monstrous.
A terrifying S-class!!
In the projection,
Xiao Ye's figure appeared underground. He personally witnessed the most monstrous creatures emerge.
A colossal evil dragon that could crush people with a stomp.
Seeing this, he was filled with terror.
But Xiao Ye's next action was completely unexpected by everyone.
Xiao Ye's eyes were as sharp as swords. He charged into battle with the monsters alone.
"What is going on?"
The crowd saw Xiao Ye fighting the monsters, exerting all his strength, as if trying to prevent the monsters from rushing towards Blue Star.
"Is Xiao Ye acting?"
If the monsters were released by Xiao Ye, why was he fighting them?
As everyone was confused, Hao Duoyu's figure appeared in the scene.
Upon seeing himself appearing underground, Hao Duoyu, who was standing beside the judgment platform, turned pale as a sheet.
It was seen that Hao Duoyu, looking at Xiao Ye fighting the monsters, moved towards him.
"Xiao Ye, die for me!!"
The Hao Duoyu in the scene was enraged.
He sneak-attacked Xiao Ye from behind, unleashing his terrifying AA-class power towards Xiao Ye.
The Blue Star crowd was dumbfounded.
Xiao Ye stopped fighting the monster dragon and looked at Hao Duoyu with cold indifference.
Seeing that Xiao Ye was so fast to react, Hao Duoyu instantly panicked. "Wait... Xiao Ye, don't hit my handsome face, damn it!"
"Bang!!"
Xiao Ye punched Hao Duoyu directly in the face, beating him until he was bruised and swollen.
Fist after fist landed with a solid thud.
The Blue Star crowd winced at the sound.
Hao Duoyu even lost two teeth from the blows.
If the War Goddess and the others hadn't rushed over to rescue Hao Duoyu from Xiao Ye...
Hao Duoyu might have been beaten into incapacitation by Xiao Ye.
However, a question arose.
Why wasn't Hao Duoyu attacking the monsters, but instead trying to kill Xiao Ye!?
