Chapter 117: Sacrifice You Alone (Second Update)

Lu Ye???

What kind of system is this dog system?

What strange things is she up to again?

The Vermilion Bird was currently hesitating.

She was now completely confused. The aliens had invaded the wilderness, and through the eyes of the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor, she had seen too much cruelty.

Although she was a demon, she still couldn't accept it.

Actually, she wasn't a demon; she belonged to the divine beasts, but since her bloodline had been sealed since childhood, she was raised by demons.

Does Lu Ye have the means to extract the parasitic Heavenly Demon?

Most likely not.

If he could, Lu Ye wouldn't have struggled so much when fighting the parasitic Heavenly Demon in the Seventh Heaven.

But at that time, Lu Ye had not yet become an emperor or a Celestial Lord. Later, when Lu Ye became an emperor and a Celestial Lord, perhaps there was a solution.

What she was pondering was how she should face Lu Ye now?

"Brother Lu Ye, Brother Lu Ye..."

A sobbing voice reached the ears of the Vermilion Bird.

Vermilion Bird???

Lu Ye... brother?

Probably not the same person.

Then she saw a ragged woman flying towards her, accompanied by the smell of blood.

InfantBreaking Realm?

The Vermilion Bird did not hide her form. Watching the woman gradually approach, the moment she saw her face, the Vermilion Bird couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

Because this woman was too beautiful.

Even with bloodstains and dishevelment, her stunning beauty could not be concealed.

Instead, it added a touch of pitiful charm.

Such a beautiful woman, and she was calling "Brother Lu Ye," so the Lu Ye she mentioned was most likely the real Lu Ye.

In the subconscious of the Vermilion Bird, it was absolutely reasonable for such a woman to know Lu Ye.

"Demon!"

Shen Xitong saw the Vermilion Bird, first showing deep fear in her eyes, then her eyes turned red, and she shouted in anger.

"Demon, give me back my family's lives!"

Shen Xitong charged towards the Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird's current strength had reached the Refining Void Realm. Facing Shen Xitong's attack, she easily subdued her.

"Return my family's lives, you demons, damned demons! My family, my village, my country, all were slaughtered by you. How could you be so cruel? Won't you demons ever face retribution?"

Vermilion Bird...

Through the perspective of the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor, she naturally witnessed countless slaughters.

Now, the victim stood before her.

"Do you know Lu Ye?" Vermilion Bird asked.

"Of course, I know Brother Lu Ye. I came here to find him, to have him kill all the demons, every single one of them!"

Vermilion Bird...

"Demons, there are good ones and bad ones. If you seek revenge, why not go after the demons who killed your kin, instead of wanting to exterminate all demons? As the saying goes, grievances have their heads, debts their owners."

"Who do my kin have grievances with, who do they owe debts to? Why were they slaughtered by demons for no reason?" Shen Xitong said fiercely.

Vermilion Bird remained silent.

"Brother Lu Ye loves me deeply and possesses immense power. If he knew of my plight, he would surely kill all the demons, eradicating them from the roots!"

"Don't pretend to be merciful here. The murder of my kin is an unforgivable enmity. You're a demon too, aren't you? My kin's deaths are also on your hands!"

"Just wait, as long as I live, I will make Brother Lu Ye kill all the demons, not a single one will survive!"

"Kill them all!"

In the distance, Lu Ye watched the system's hysterical display, utterly astonished.

Damn, this dog system actually has acting skills?

Where does Vermilion Bird's pain lie?

It's because she is kind!

Perhaps not just kind, but a saint.

Because in the previous life, Lu Ye had killed far too many, especially the first time he brought shock to Vermilion Bird by slaying the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor, slaughtering the entire demon race.

Too many demons died under the stone sword.

At that time, the seed of dissatisfaction had already been planted in Vermilion Bird. She truly couldn't understand why Lu Ye had to kill so many beings.

Many of these beings did not deserve death.

They were innocent too.

The more Lu Ye killed, the more dissatisfied Vermilion Bird became. Her dissatisfaction grew incessantly, and in the end, she couldn't hold back and chose to act against Lu Ye.

She never expected that they could live again.

Just after being reborn, she resolved to cultivate diligently, to personally slay the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor, to protect the peace of the demon race.

If humans and demons could coexist, that would be even better.

As a result, before she could grow up, the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor had already confronted Lu Ye.

Now, the war has been initiated even earlier.

The most brutal confrontations have unfolded.

However, in the previous life, the human race and the Allied Races were evenly matched, and the conflict lasted for a long time until Lu Ye completely rose to power and secured victory.

The price of the human race's victory, of course, was the doom of the Allied Races.

And in this life, the Allied Races have advanced unimpeded, wiping out three top human forces in one go, directly turning the human race into a living hell.

"You can't go to Lu Ye!"

Vermilion Bird still doesn't want the conflict to escalate to an uncontrollable level.

If this person is Lu Ye's new woman, given Lu Ye's particularly good nature towards women, he would definitely not show any mercy towards demons.

He really would, like this woman, kill all the demons, exterminate them completely!

No!

She absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.

"If you have the guts, kill me! As long as you don't kill me, I will definitely make Lu Ye kill all of you!"

Shen Xitong began to struggle violently.

Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, and the power of Vermilion Bird reinforced the seal on Shen Xitong.

"Hahaha, what a fine line between good and bad demons! Is your current behavior that of a good demon or a bad one?" Shen Xitong let out a shrill laugh.

Vermilion Bird's expression slightly froze.

"I just want to prevent things from getting worse."

"My current situation is already as bad as it can get!"

Vermilion Bird remained silent.

It actually wanted to say, you are just one person.

And among demons and monsters, there are thousands upon thousands of good ones.

"Let me go!"

"No, I can't let you go!"

"Why?"

"Why can't you let me go? What have I done wrong?"

Vermilion Bird remained silent.

"Hahaha, you are all birds of a feather, birds of a feather!"

"Revenge is hopeless, father! Mother! So many innocent people, I have failed you!"

"I won't let you off even if I die!"

"I won't let you off!"

Shen Xitong's body began to swell, the energy within her turning wild.

Vermilion Bird's expression changed.

Was she going to self-destruct?

Now, there were only two choices left before her.

First, release Shen Xitong and let her go to complain.

Second, let Shen Xitong self-destruct.

If she dies alone, perhaps thousands of others can live.

How to choose?

Vermilion Bird...

Chose the second option.

"Boom!"

Shen Xitong completed her self-destruction, turning directly into a sky full of light spots.

Vermilion Bird watched this scene, her eyes filled with helplessness.

She let out a deep sigh.

Don't blame me, I also did it to let more living beings survive...
