Transmigrated As The Villain's Sword (GL) - Chapter 25
The Demon Realm had always had a bad reputation, a large part of which was due to their unrestrained violence, cruel actions, and utter lack of reason when they went mad. This was an undeniable fact.
As demons, it was difficult for them to maintain rationality like ordinary cultivators. More often than not, they were chaotic and irrational. Heaven had given the Demon Realm powerful bodies and rapid cultivation speed, but it also prevented them from becoming normal beings.
This situation finally improved five hundred years ago during the Old Demon Emperor’s generation. The Old Demon Emperor obtained a divine orb from an unknown source. This orb could cleanse them of their innate cruelty and bloodlust, while also absorbing their distracting thoughts and chaos. Thus, from that time on, the demons began to have reason, and everything slowly got back on track.
However, strangely, after the Old Demon Emperor brought back the Demon Orb, the Old Madam disappeared without a trace, and the Old Demon Emperor, from that time on, was no longer as youthful and vigorous as before.
He raised his daughter, acting as both a strict father and a loving mother. Under his careful nurturing, Guan Luowei’s mother, Guan Jingjing, gradually grew into a healthy little Demon Clan princess.
Later, when the little princess went out to train, she met a disciple of the cultivation world.
When Guan Luowei said this, a mocking curve suddenly appeared at the corner of her lips.
That cultivation disciple was Guan Luowei’s father, Fu Qingshi. Fu Qingshi at that time claimed to be a rogue cultivator. He was aloof and cold, but when facing Guan Jingjing, he was gentle and reserved.
The young Guan Jingjing fell in love with this rogue cultivator without hesitation, wanting to spend the rest of her life with him. She brought the rogue cultivator back to the Demon Realm, but unexpectedly, her father, the Old Demon Emperor, did not agree.
The young Guan Jingjing couldn’t see it, but the Old Demon Emperor’s eyes were incredibly sharp. How could he not see that this rogue cultivator’s techniques were actually moves from various sects?
Fu Qingshi was full of lies and was so eager towards her. How could the Old Demon Emperor entrust his daughter to such a person with an unknown background?
Father and daughter had a big argument, and one night, Guan Jingjing and Fu Qingshi eloped. The Old Demon Emperor was furious at the time and ordered everyone in the Demon Realm not to look for Guan Jingjing, letting her fend for herself outside.
In the Old Demon Emperor’s eyes, Guan Jingjing would eventually return. As for that young man, he didn’t care much, just considering it a lesson for Guan Jingjing.
However, what he didn’t expect was that Guan Jingjing’s departure lasted for two years.
During those two years, the Old Demon Emperor had no news of her.
When they met again, Guan Jingjing had a rosy complexion and had gained some weight. She leaned happily in Fu Qingshi’s arms. It seemed that Fu Qingshi was indeed very good to her.
Two years had passed, and the resentment in the Old Demon Emperor’s heart was no longer as strong. In addition, seeing his daughter so happy, he thought that no matter how capable Fu Qingshi was, as long as he stayed in the Demon City, he wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble. So, he turned a blind eye and agreed to their marriage.
After the grand wedding, the Demon Emperor intended to train Guan Jingjing, so he passed the throne to her and taught her about clan affairs every day. And Fu Qingshi surprisingly stayed peacefully in the Demon Realm every day, sometimes going to the Demon Forest to catch demon beasts to cook for Guan Jingjing, and sometimes tinkering with weapons and pills for Guan Jingjing’s self-defense.
Life passed by slowly and steadily for a year. During this year, many people in the Demon Realm got to know this “Demon Empress” and became friends with her. After all, Fu Qingshi was very generous, giving away pills and treasures as if they were worthless.
And the Old Demon Emperor also slowly let go of his initial vigilance.
The incident happened when Fu Qingshi had been in the Demon Realm for a year and a half. Guan Jingjing was pregnant. At that time, he and Guan Jingjing had been together for four years and had never had children. It wasn’t until Guan Jingjing felt unwell and had a demon physicians check her pulse that she discovered she was pregnant.
She decided to give Fu Qingshi a surprise, but what she didn’t expect was that Fu Qingshi gave her a “surprise” first.
It was the third day after she learned she was pregnant. She endured and endured, but still couldn’t help wanting to tell Fu Qingshi about it. But when she arrived at the Demon Palace, she found that Fu Qingshi was gone.
His figure was nowhere to be found in the entire Demon Realm.
Following this was the news of the Demon Orb being stolen and the demons’ mental state beginning to become chaotic.
The Old Demon Emperor was thunderously furious, but Guan Jingjing felt that the disappearance of the Demon Orb had nothing to do with Fu Qingshi. She begged the Old Demon Emperor to give her time to find Fu Qingshi, and she would definitely be able to prove that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Later, Fu Qingshi was not found, but she discovered something that made her collapse.
That day, the demon physician came to check her pulse as usual but found that her pregnancy showed signs of miscarriage. After a strict investigation, they discovered that the candied fruit Guan Jingjing had been eating contained abortifacient juice.
And those candied fruits were personally fed to her by Fu Qingshi after every intimate encounter.
Three months passed, and Fu Qingshi still hadn’t been found. The mental state of the Demon Realm could no longer hold on. Many young demons had returned to the previous chaotic and irrational state, and internal strife occurred almost daily.
What was worse, some demons, in the process of searching for Fu Qingshi, couldn’t control their bloodlust and killed many cultivation disciples. The most notorious incident was the massacre of the Mu family, a prominent cultivation family, and the perpetrators of the massacre were the very demons sent out to search.
Finally, this action by the Demon Realm provoked public outrage. On that day, all the renowned sects in the cultivation world arrived before the Demon Realm, wanting to uphold justice and exterminate the Demon Realm people who had indiscriminately killed the innocent and committed countless evils.
And on that day, Guan Jingjing saw a familiar face among those righteous sects—Fu Qingshi.
Later, the Demon Realm suffered heavy losses in the great war, and the people of the cultivation world did not gain any advantage either. The Demon Realm was inherently extremely powerful. If they wanted to completely eliminate it, the cultivation world would also have to pay a great price. Moreover, the cultivation world was not only facing the Demon Realm; the covetous Demon Clan was also happy to see the two races fight each other.
In the end, the two sides revised a peace agreement that had lasted for nearly a thousand years. The Demon Realm paid a large sum of money and signed an agreement not to leave their realm for three hundred years, and only then did this matter pass.
After the great war, the Empress had gone mad, and almost all the high-level cultivators in the Demon Realm had been wiped out. The Old Demon Emperor had no choice but to ascend the throne again, imprisoning Guan Jingjing in the Demon Prison to reflect and rebuild the Demon Realm.
Later, Guan Luowei’s birth brought some sanity back to Guan Jingjing. She walked out of the Demon Prison and saw the Demon Realm citizens suffering mental torment every day, saw many infants who had lost both parents not long after birth, and endless guilt and remorse tormented her.
In the end, she chose to contribute her last bit of strength to the Demon Realm.
Although she, Guan Jingjing, had been foolish in love, she had always been clear-headed in other aspects. For example, the Demon Orb was never naturally born. She had seen in the Demon Realm’s forbidden techniques that the Demon Orb was formed by someone with an extremely pure heart actively sacrificing themselves.
The person making the sacrifice needed to have their body burned by true fire until it completely collapsed and turned into ashes, then their soul would be roasted by soul fire to remove impurities and various evil thoughts. After that, the remaining scattered soul would need to be forcibly torn apart and integrated into an absorption array before it could finally become the “Demon Orb” that absorbed chaos and evil thoughts.
After that, the Demon Realm’s vitality slowly recovered, but Guan Luowei never saw her mother again.
In her previous life, when Guan Luowei learned about the events behind this from the Old Demon Emperor, she had taken it as a warning. But what she hadn’t expected was that she would eventually follow the same path as her mother, being deceived by a man and leading to the destruction of her clan.
A self-deprecating smile appeared in Guan Luowei’s eyes, and then she raised her eyes to slowly look at the silver sword.
She saw the entire silver sword trembling, and it said angrily, “Scumbag, what a scumbag! All dog men should die! Madam even broke with her father for him, but what about him? He was simply inhuman, just like that Mu guy!”
Time had passed, and Guan Luowei had slowly let go of this matter in her heart, even being able to talk about it calmly with the silver sword. But looking at the silver sword’s appearance, which was even angrier than she was, a warmth rose in her heart after all.
“Master, don’t worry,” the silver sword patted its chest, making a loud “dong dong” sound, “I will absolutely never betray you!”
Guan Luowei gazed at the sword before her and said softly, “I know.”
Because in her previous life, Yin Ye had stayed by her side until the very last moment, even sacrificing itself to buy her a chance to escape.
She knew all of this.
“Mm!” After expressing its loyalty, the silver sword carefully looked at her expression again and said, “Then are you still sad?”
Guan Luowei blinked, “Hmm?”
“I mean, if you’re still sad, I’ll perform my special skill for you,” Ling Chenyan said.
“What special skill?”
“Can I break a big rock on my chest?”
“Pfft,” Guan Luowei couldn’t help but chuckle, a sly light flashing in her eyes as she replied, “Of course, but you’ll have to wait a bit.”
Ling Chenyan asked in confusion, “Wait a bit?”
Guan Luowei gave her a meaningful look and nodded, “Mm.”
Ling Chenyan didn’t quite understand what this “wait a bit” meant. Just as she was about to ask, Guan Luowei continued, “We’ll be leaving the clan in a few days.”
Ling Chenyan’s eyes lit up, “Do we have a new mission?”
“Mm,” Guan Luowei nodded with a serious expression, “To mold a physical body for you.”
“Great! Mold a physical body!” Hearing that she was going to regain human form, Ling Chenyan immediately became happy. But looking at the smile in Guan Luowei’s eyes, she instantly understood something. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said, “Ma… Master, this performance won’t have to wait until I have a physical body, will it?”
Guan Luowei raised her eyebrows, the meaning clear: that’s exactly it.
Ling Chenyan: “…” She hated this world.
••••
Five days later, Guan Luowei set off again with the silver sword.
This time, the place they were going was the Buddhist Sect’s location—Xiling City.
The Lingxiao Immortal Sect was located in the east, while the Buddhist Sect was in the opposite direction, situated in the west. The person and the sword took a teleportation array and still spent nearly a day to reach Xiling City.
Unlike Lingyun City under the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, the buildings here exuded an aura of peace and tranquility. Almost everyone in the city had a smile on their face, speaking softly when talking to others. Occasionally, you could see two or three monks walking towards you, and when their eyes met, they would give a kind smile.
There was no irritability or killing intent; everyone was friendly.
Ling Chenyan couldn’t help but click her tongue and say, “As expected of the Buddhist Sect, it’s different. In this Xiling City, I’m afraid you can’t even see a single quarrel.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a commotion came from the tavern diagonally in front of them, followed by a series of angry curses. Seeing this, the passersby couldn’t help but gather around, preparing to reprimand the people in the shop.
Being disciples of the Buddhist Sect, weren’t they afraid of creating karmic obstacles by saying such things?
Just at this moment, the cursing people came out carrying a person and then threw them hard towards the door, cursing, “Dead monk, you haven’t paid for your wine from two years ago, and now you dare to steal wine?”
The person who was thrown out landed with a “thud,” coincidentally rolling to Guan Luowei and Ling Chenyan’s feet.
Ling Chenyan jumped back, thinking that the shopkeeper was probably in trouble, looking at so many onlookers…
Damn it, why did they all leave?
The corner of Guan Luowei’s eye twitched as she watched the onlookers glance at the person on the ground and then leave without looking back. Some even said with an “oh,” “Serves him right!”
Ling Chenyan: “…”
The monk on the ground wasn’t angry at being thrown out. He fell down and then lay down, taking another gulp of wine from his wine gourd. His eyes were hazy as he looked at the two of them and said, “Is that you?”
Ling Chenyan was just about to see who this person, disliked by both humans and dogs, was. When she looked down, she saw the thin face of Master Guixu.
Ling Chenyan: “…You’re in a really miserable state.”
Master Guixu: “…”

Master Guixu: For a moment, I didn’t know if I should continue lying here.
