Bone-stripping and tendon-pulling? The reborn senior sister becomes the number one cultivator in the

Chapter 299 Previous Life

Three years later.

"Wait a minute, I haven't gone out yet!"

The exit from the secret realm is closed.

To protect the sect disciples, Si Jinchuan single-handedly held off the demonic beasts' attack. As a result, the disciples abandoned him, leaving him behind in the secret realm.

The monster hissed and bit at Si Jinchuan's shoulder. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and he slashed at the shoulder, cleaving the monster in two. At the same time, his shoulder was also wounded.

He merely frowned slightly, his hands continuing their movements as if he felt no pain.

The surrounding demonic beasts howled, and Si Jinchuan was surrounded by demonic energy, it was hard to tell whether it was his own demonic energy or the demonic energy of the demonic beasts.

After a day and a night, Si Jinchuan crawled out from the pile of monster corpses.

His body was covered in blood, which dripped down his arms. In the silent night, he looked like a demon crawling out of hell, devoid of any life.

The secret realm is closed, and more monsters will likely emerge tomorrow. Will he still be able to survive?

Si Jinchuan gave a bitter smile.

Was he living to act as a shield for those ungrateful bastards in the sect? That wasn't the meaning of his becoming a cultivator.

He became a monk to protect Wan Ning.

However, Wan Ning no longer recognized him. He couldn't disturb Wan Ning's life.

Under the moonlight, the leaves rustled, and Si Jinchuan's solitary figure seemed all too lonely.

Climbing the mountain path, Si Jinchuan reached the summit step by step.

Looking down at the mountains, the cold wind blew through his hair, making his heart even colder.

The cliff ahead looked incredibly deep.

He could be free if he just jumped.

His sect didn't like him, the entire cultivation world couldn't tolerate him, and even Wan Ning didn't want to see him anymore.

Si Jinchuan smiled wryly, put on the blindfold, and walked forward step by step.

If you can't see it, you won't have fear or hesitation.

Suddenly, his footing gave way, and pebbles tumbled down the cliff edge with him. All he could hear was the howling wind and the rapid pounding of his own heart. His body plummeted like a heavy stone.

"go with!"

Si Jinchuan suddenly felt his collar being pulled, and the next moment, he was thrown onto the solid ground.

"Are you crazy! What could be more important than your life? You just jumped down like that, did you even think about the consequences?" Xie Wanning grabbed Si Jinchuan's collar and roared.

"Wan Ning?" Si Jinchuan said blankly.

Xie Wanning's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, "You know me?"

"Yes." Si Jinchuan nodded, a faint smile appearing on his face. "I am Mo..."

He paused, then changed his wording.

"I am Si Jinchuan, the eldest disciple of the Yunxiao Sect."

"Oh, it's you!" Xie Wanning slapped her forehead, her eyes flashing with joy. "What are you doing here? Why didn't you go back with the others?"

Si Jinchuan felt a pang of sadness and asked, "Why is Junior Sister Xie still in the secret realm?"

Xie Wanning turned her head uncomfortably, thinking about how Song Huai'an and Jiang Ci had rushed to take Ye Qianqian back to heal her after she was injured, while she had been left in the secret realm to cover the retreat of the Qingyun Sect disciples.

"It's nothing. I was just careless and accidentally fell behind the other disciples."

Si Jinchuan remained silent, vaguely guessing Xie Wanning's predicament—she had likely been ostracized by the Qingyun Sect disciples.

"Then why is Junior Sister Xie here?" Si Jinchuan asked.

"Just wandering around, just wandering around..." Xie Wanning's voice grew softer and softer as she looked at the unfathomable cliff. She couldn't even fool herself anymore.

Si Jinchuan sensed the guilt in Xie Wanning's tone, and he unconsciously frowned. Such a high mountain, such a treacherous cliff—who would come to a cliff to relax? One wrong step and they'd fall. Therefore, Wanning's presence here couldn't be an accident.

Xie Wanning shook her head violently, dismissing the thought from her mind.

"Enough about me. Were you about to jump off the cliff? Are you crazy? You're the senior disciple of the Cloud Soaring Sect. If you jump, your junior brothers, sisters, and master will be heartbroken," Xie Wanning advised.

“They won’t be sad, absolutely not.” Si Jinchuan gave a self-deprecating smile, his tone very firm.

Xie Wanning's words trailed off as she looked at Si Jinchuan's dejected expression, and a thought suddenly occurred to her.

He and she are very similar; they are the same kind of people.

Thinking of this, a feeling of sympathy welled up within me.

"Si Jinchuan, why don't we cooperate and leave the secret realm together? There will be even more magical beasts appearing tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with them alone," Xie Wanning said sincerely, holding Si Jinchuan's hand.

"Okay, thank you, Junior Sister." Si Jinchuan's face flushed slightly.

"No need to be so formal, just call me Wan Ning," Xie Wan Ning said casually, and began to consider how to deal with the magical beast.

Si Jinchuan's face instantly turned red. He lowered his head, at a loss, and hesitantly called out, "...Wan Ning."

"What's wrong? Are you sure you want to cooperate, Si Jinchuan?" Xie Wanning smiled and stared intently at Si Jinchuan.

"Of course," Si Jinchuan readily agreed.

Xie Wanning suddenly leaned closer, looking at Si Jinchuan curiously: "Your eyes are covered, can you still see?"

Si Jinchuan immediately lowered his head and explained, "I can't see them. But I can determine the enemy's location by sensing spiritual energy and hearing. Wan Ning, this will absolutely not affect our cooperation."

Xie Wanning raised her hand and waved it in front of Si Jinchuan's eyes, a sly glint in her eyes.

"Senior Brother Si, since it's a collaboration, why not be more frank?"

As she spoke, Xie Wanning personally lifted Si Jinchuan's chin and slowly extended it towards the blindfold.

"No..." Si Jinchuan struggled to turn his head away.

Xie Wanning grabbed Si Jinchuan's chin and laughed, "Too late."

Her fingers touched the soft gauze, and with a gentle lift, the blindfold slipped off. Si Jinchuan's eyelashes trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes. A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes at first, but when he saw Xie Wanning, his eyes filled with panic, and tears welled up in his eyes.

His eyes were no different from those of demonic cultivators and magical beasts; no one would accept such eyes.

"It's so beautiful, as dazzling as the sun," Xie Wanning said with a light laugh, her tone very sincere.

It was the beginning of dawn, the rising sun illuminating Si Jinchuan's eyes.

All was quiet, and the only sound in the world seemed to be the heartbeats of the two people.

"Cough cough!" Xie Wanning suddenly stood up and said awkwardly, "It's so cold! Let's go down the mountain first."

"Oh... okay!" Si Jinchuan's mind went blank, and he responded blankly.

Next, the two worked together to open the exit from the secret realm.

"Bye-bye, I'm heading back to Qingyun Sect now. See you next time." Xie Wanning waved goodbye.

"Wait a minute." Si Jinchuan suddenly called out to Xie Wanning, saying worriedly, "If you need my help, you can contact me through the communication token."

Xie Wanning didn't turn around, paused, and chuckled softly, "You should take care of yourself first!"

Over the next four years, Si Jinchuan and Xie Wanning ventured into secret realms together and fought against enemies side by side, developing an increasingly strong rapport.

Until Xie Wanning was identified by the Qingyun Sect as a spy for the Demon Clan.

Faced with false accusations and insults, as well as the condemnation from the entire sect, Xie Wanning seized the opportunity to escape.

Where else can she go?

The Cloud Soaring Sect came to Xie Wanning's mind.

Who to look for?

Si Jinchuan.

Xie Wanning rushed to Yunxiao Sect without stopping and found Si Jinchuan.

In that instant, all the stress and fear of the past few days vanished, and she rushed towards Si Jinchuan as if nothing had happened.

Si Jinchuan hugged her, just like usual.

"Pfft!" Xie Wanning spat out a mouthful of blood, raised her eyes, and looked at Si Jinchuan in disbelief.

Si Jinchuan's knife, however, remained steady, piercing Xie Wanning's abdomen with unwavering force.

"Junior Sister Xie, return to the sect and confess your sins," Si Jinchuan said sternly.

Xie Wanning covered her wound, her eyes fixed on Si Jinchuan.

The disbelief in his eyes was gradually overwhelmed by utter despair.

The person she loved most actually hurt her.

Xie Wanning knelt down on the ground, offering no further resistance, and closed her eyes, falling into a coma.

Later, Xie Wanning was taken back to Qingyun Sect, where her master and fellow disciples stripped her of her bones and tendons, and she died in the Netherworld Prison.

In less than a year, the entire cultivation world was severely weakened, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons opened, cultivators died in battle, and civilians were slaughtered.

Si Jinchuan walked step by step toward Bamboo Forest Mountain, where Xie Wanning's body was buried. It was the body that Si Jinchuan had taken from Qingyun Sect after killing Yan Ze.

He knew that Wan Ning disliked Qingyun Sect, and he couldn't let her be buried there.

"thump!"

Si Jinchuan knelt on the ground, his right sleeve empty. After killing Yan Ze, he severed his own right hand, and it was this hand that had harmed Wan Ning.

"Wan Ning, I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Si Jinchuan said, sobbing.

Si Jinchuan had no memory of the day he hurt Wan Ning. He only knew that he had lost control of his body and hurt Wan Ning.

However, this is not an excuse.

He truly hurt Wan Ning, causing her death. Si Jinchuan will not evade responsibility; this is his fault.

With the knife held to his neck, Si Jinchuan slashed down fiercely.

Si Jinchuan died, yet a golden light surrounded him.

When he woke up again, he looked at the disciples below the stage and heard voices in his ears.

"Isn't he a demon?"

"Yes! Look at his eyes, they're really scary!"

"The Cloud Soaring Sect does not welcome demons."

……

Si Jinchuan looked around in disbelief, and an idea popped into his head.

He is reborn!
