Rising From the Ashes of Betrayal のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

In the middle of the night, I dragged my body to my father’s quarters and saw that the light in his room was still on.Julian’s voice came from inside.“Although Queenie’s cultivation is gone, Wendy’s current strength is still far from enough to inherit the sect. Since Queenie is disabled now, her golden core is useless anyway. I plan to extract it and use it as a catalyst to enhance Wendy’s spiritual energy.”My father’s expression changed. He was struggling to believe what he heard. “What did you say? Extracting Queenie’s golden core? You can’t do that. If you do that, she’ll never be able to use her spiritual energy again, and her lifespan will be drastically reduced.”However, Julian looked determined. “Queenie was incredibly powerful. Her core will greatly improve Wendy’s cultivation. I have to do this for Wendy. Queenie still has me. I’m her fiancé. I won’t abandon her just because she has no spiritual energy. However, things are different for Wendy. She has nothing left.”“

As soon as Wendy finished speaking, a surge of spiritual energy burst from around her, surrounding me.I could feel it tearing at my meridians, trying to cripple me.However, the demonic energy within me was far beyond anything Wendy could control.Sure enough, after only a moment, blood seeped from the corner of her lips. A powerful force hurled her backward, sending her crashing to the ground.She stared at me in disbelief. “Impossible! Didn’t you lose all your cultivation? What is this energy?”I scoffed, crouched in front of her, and lifted her chin, forcing her to meet my eyes.“I’ll repay everything you’ve done to me and then some!”Overwhelmed by my aura, Wendy froze on the spot.Hearing the commotion, Julian rushed into the room and saw the scene before him.Fury flashed across his face. He shoved me aside and hurried to pick Wendy up.“Wendy, are you alright? Are you hurt?”Eyes reddened, she threw herself into his arms, looking utterly aggrieved. “I’m sorry. It’s a

My father’s face turned pale instantly. He stared at me, engulfed in demonic energy, and cried out in disbelief, “Queenie! H-how did you become like this?”Julian was shocked. His whole body trembled uncontrollably as he reached out towards me with a shaking hand, trying to tap into what he thought was my last shred of reason.“Queenie, you must be under the Demon Lord’s control. Don’t be afraid. Come over here. Let me help you remove the demonic energy, all right?”I looked at him coldly, my crimson lips parting slightly. “I chose this path for myself. Isn’t this exactly what you wanted?”Julian looked as if he had fallen into an icy abyss. Whether it was the overwhelming aura of demonic energy or something else, he seemed unable to breathe from the pain.“Queenie, I know losing your cultivation and your inheritance has thrown you off balance, but we can start over. I’ll stay by your side. Don’t let a moment of anger lead you into a mistake you can’t undo.“Look around you. Thes

Julian was nowhere near as composed as my father had been.He had already exhausted all his cultivation to block the earlier attack.He knew that a mere flick of my finger would be enough to kill him.With a thud, he dropped to his knees before me, looking up with pitiful, pleading eyes.“Queenie, I’m sorry. I was blinded for a moment and hurt you. I realize my mistake.”I looked down at the man I once loved more than anything in this world. Now, it was like looking at trash. “If a small apology could make up for everything you did to me, then wouldn’t all my suffering have been for nothing?”A strand of demonic energy lifted him off the ground by his legs.He struggled, gasping for air, yet he still used the last of his strength to beg.“I’m sorry, Queenie. I’m really sorry. I truly loved you. Ahh! Ahh!”A blood-soaked arm fell to the ground.I had no interest in listening to him any longer.“Didn’t you say your arm was gone? It looks perfectly intact to me.”As soon as
