Chapter 503 - 302: Deducing the Eight Desolates Divine Fist, Fairy Ci Hang’s Fear, Suppressing the Karmic Fire

Lu Mingyuan shook his head. "Your actions, your mannerisms, and your tone of voice were all meant to be identical to Sui Yuqing’s. It was a good imitation, right down to how you discuss things, but you couldn’t mimic her demeanor or her spiritual aura."

"If I’m not mistaken, you’re her Heart Demon, aren’t you?"

"I never thought a mere Heart Demon could become so powerful. Who has been helping you in secret?"

At these words, Sui Yuqing’s eyes turned cold. She was clearly displeased.

"What Heart Demon? I have a name."

"She’s the one who was so weak. How can you blame me?"

Lu Mingyuan frowned. "So you admit it? It seems you truly have taken over her Flesh Body."

"’Taken over?’ Must you be so crude? If she hadn’t been too afraid to face her true self, abandoning all her passions and desires to practice the Supreme Forgetting Emotions, how would I have even been born?"

Sui Yuqing licked her rosy lips, pushed out her ample chest, and gave a wicked smile. "Besides, with a body this beautiful... don’t you want a taste?"

"To let prey that’s delivered right to your lips escape... are you even a man?"

Lu Mingyuan was unfazed by her words, saying flatly, "Go back where you came from. Let her out."

Hearing this, Sui Yuqing sighed. "Saying that really breaks my heart."

Her tone was filled with indescribable disappointment.

"What’s so great about her? She pays you no mind. If it weren’t for me, she never would have helped you this much."

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingyuan said, his eyes narrowing.

Sui Yuqing’s lips curled. "You don’t really think she made all those correct decisions on her own, do you? I was the one who made it happen from the shadows!"

"Nonsense!"

Lu Mingyuan snorted coldly. Done wasting words, he struck out with his palm, intending to seize and restrain her Flesh Body.

This Heart Demon was truly skilled at bewitching people’s minds.

With just a few words, she had almost drawn him into her verbal trap.

Everything she said was a lie; he couldn’t afford to dwell on it.

Sui Yuqing reacted quickly to Lu Mingyuan’s attack. She clenched a fair hand, and black Karmic Fire began to burn around her, forcing Lu Mingyuan to keep his distance. He had to hold back, afraid of harming the vessel.

This Karmic Fire was a spiritual attack, capable of directly bypassing the Divine Soul to ignite the Sea of Consciousness.

In a mild case, it would turn a Cultivator into a drooling fool; in a severe case, they would fall from grace and become a demon.

In response, Lu Mingyuan thrust out his palm, a torrent of air gathering in its center. The resplendent totem of a golden Divine Dragon appeared behind him. He had no choice but to use the power of Dragon Fortune to neutralize the Karmic Fire.

The endless flow of Dragon Fortune formed into ropes, binding and suppressing her in an instant.

Lu Mingyuan said coldly, "So stubborn. I will ensure you vanish from this world."

A cry of indignation escaped Sui Yuqing’s lips. "Why are you doing this to me!"

"If you want me dead, then she isn’t leaving here alive!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingyuan’s expression grew grim.

He focused his gaze and saw a phantom image appear behind Sui Yuqing.

The figure stood there, sublime and beautiful like a fairy. Her eyes were closed, her long black hair flowed down, and she had an air of serene composure. Her temperament was one of natural elegance, like a lotus rising from clear water, free of adornment—as if she were the purest woman in the world.

And at this moment, that figure was being swallowed by the Karmic Fire!

Only then did Lu Mingyuan understand.

The Heart Demon planned to let the Karmic Fire defile and destroy Sui Yuqing’s true soul along with its own, dragging them both into ruin.

"You wish!"

Lu Mingyuan had no time to consider the consequences.

He unleashed the Destiny in his body without reservation, attempting to extinguish all the Karmic Fire.

But it was too slow. His efforts couldn’t keep up with the rate the Karmic Fire was surging.

"Damn it!"

Lu Mingyuan clenched his fists.

In an instant, the clothes on his upper body burst apart, revealing a fit and powerful torso. He sat cross-legged on the bed, formed a hand seal, and circulated his Primordial Qi, drawing the Destiny from the Underground Dragon Vein and feeding it back into his own Flesh Body.

Then, heedless of the danger to himself, he threw himself toward Sui Yuqing.

In that moment, the white gauze curtains fell shut, obscuring the view.

The bed curtains began to sway gently, and the motion continued for a long, long time.
