Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes speechlessly, "It's not like you're the ones suffering, why are you crying?"

The two of them turned around at the same time and glared at him fiercely.

Li Xiaoyao wanted to say more, but Jing Tian pulled him aside and persuaded him to shut up.

Chu Yang interrupted Aunt Ma with a cupped hand and asked, "May I ask, shopkeeper, did a girl dressed in purple come here yesterday?"

Aunt Ma, who had been all smiles just moments before, suddenly turned serious. She glanced at Chu Yang with indifferent eyes and shook her head, saying, "There is no girl in purple here!"

"My inn rarely sees guests, let alone girls. You can't even see ghosts. If you're not staying here, please excuse me."

Chu Yang said loudly, "Chu Yang, a disciple of Shu Mountain, requests that the descendant of Nuwa come out to meet me. This concerns the life of my senior brother, and I hope the young lady will forgive my abruptness."

Aunt Ma got angry and yelled, "You inconsiderate junior! I already said there's nothing here..."

Before the words were finished, a clear, ethereal voice came from the innermost part of the second floor of the inn, instantly invigorating everyone.

"Aunt Ma, it's alright, they're one of us."

The door opened, and a fragrant breeze wafted in, its unique scent attracting everyone's attention.

The fragrance contains the scents of many flowers, such as lavender, lily, and jasmine. The aroma is complex yet exceptionally harmonious.

Even Chu Yang couldn't help but be distracted when he smelled this aroma.

As the group was momentarily stunned, a woman dressed in a purple gauze dress walked out of the room. The moment Li Xiaoyao saw her, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The woman in front of him looked seven or eight parts similar to Zhao Ling'er. No one would believe they weren't related!

"Hey Li, this woman looks so much like Ling'er! Could she be her long-lost sister?"

"No, she has gray hair at her temples, so she must be an aunt or something."

Lin Yueru whispered in Li Xiaoyao's ear.

Li Xiaoyao suddenly looked at Chu Yang. He had just heard Chu Yang say "descendant of Nuwa," which proved that the woman in front of him was indeed a relative of Zhao Ling'er.

"I'll explain the whole story to you later. Right now, it's important to confirm Senior Brother's condition."

Chu Yang strode towards the second floor of the inn, while Zi Xuan was looking at Li Xiaoyao with a complicated expression.

"Senior Zixuan, how is my senior brother?"

"Come in with me, and you'll see for yourself."

Zi Xuan led Chu Yang and the others into the room. Following her directions, Chu Yang saw Xu Changqing on the bed.

Xu Changqing was in a coma, radiating a peaceful golden light, while a black aura lingered on his face, with good and evil constantly battling within him.

The black aura was formed from evil thoughts; it was obvious without even thinking that it was the work of the Evil Sword Immortal.

I wonder what the golden light on Xu Changqing's body is.

Li Xiaoyao stepped forward to touch Xu Changqing's body, but Zixuan stopped him, shaking her head and saying, "He's not in good condition right now, so it's best not to touch him."

Li Xiaoyao asked anxiously, "What exactly happened to Brother Xu?"

Upon hearing Li Xiaoyao call Xu Changqing "brother," Zi Xuan's brows furrowed subconsciously, only returning to normal after a few breaths.

She didn't answer Li Xiaoyao's question immediately, but turned to look at Chu Yang and said, "How did you know Xu Changqing was here? And how did you know my identity?"

Chu Yang replied, "My senior brother and I went down the mountain together to cultivate in the mortal world. Before we left, the sect leader reminded me that he might encounter a difficult love affair, so he told me about my senior brother's three lifetimes of love."

Zixuan remained silent for a while, then sighed, "I never expected that Daoist Qingwei would trust you so much."

Chu Yang glanced at the unconscious Xu Changqing and couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "Senior settled in Fengdu in order to find your senior brother's reincarnation through the Ghost Realm. Such dedication is admirable, but also pitiful. You have given up too much for this."

“Poor thing…” Zixuan was somewhat lost in thought, a bitter look flashing in her eyes.

Tang Xuejian was baffled by their incomprehensible conversation and jumped out in a panic, shouting, "Can you speak in a way I can understand? What's wrong with Master Xu?"

Distracted by her words, Zi Xuan regained her composure and calmly explained, "I met Xu Changqing by chance near Leizhou. He was fighting against a wicked spirit who called himself the Evil Sword Immortal."

“The Evil Sword Immortal is very powerful. He is only one step away from transforming into an extraterrestrial demon and transcending the Six Realms. Xu Changqing is no match for him, and I am no match for him either. I can only use the Holy Spirit Pearl to temporarily force back that evil thought.”

"I took advantage of the Evil Sword Immortal's inattention and escaped with Xu Changqing. We hid all the way here and only after we settled down did I discover that his body was parasitized by some evil thoughts, and he almost fell into the demonic path."

“Those evil thoughts are very special. Conventional exorcism spells are completely ineffective. I can only use the Holy Spirit Pearl to suppress the evil thoughts in his body and keep him in his current state.”

Zi Xuan's explanation was similar to Chu Yang's previous guess; it was indeed the Evil Sword Immortal who had intervened and caused things to turn out this way.

Chu Yang smiled and said, "Senior Zixuan, you can take back the Holy Spirit Pearl now. Leave the rest to me."

Zixuan did not immediately comply, but solemnly emphasized, "As I just said, ordinary exorcism spells are useless, even if you use some Shu Mountain secret technique. Those evil thoughts originated from Daoist Qingwei and the others, so using Shu Mountain spells is useless."

Chu Yang calmly replied, "I know what I'm doing, please do as I say, senior."

Zi Xuan gave Chu Yang a deep look, then silently withdrew the Holy Spirit Pearl from Xu Changqing's body.

The black aura on Xu Changqing's face began to spread rapidly throughout his body, and he was filled with an indescribable malice. Just standing in the same room with him would make people feel uncomfortable.

Zixuan said urgently, "If you have any ideas, use them quickly! If you wait any longer, even my Holy Spirit Pearl won't be able to suppress Xu Changqing's evil thoughts, and he will fall into the demonic path!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Changqing suddenly stood up, his hair disheveled, looking like a ferocious demon. His bloodshot eyes swept over everyone present, and the cold killing intent in his eyes sent chills down people's spines.

"The look is pretty cool, it's just a pity it's not the senior brother's type. If it were me, it would be more like it."

Chu Yang chuckled and joked, and Xu Changqing, who was on the verge of succumbing to demonic possession, suddenly lunged at him, his pupils gleaming with bloodlust.

Amidst the screams of the others, Fengdu suddenly appeared in front of Chu Yang, and the Yellow Springs water gushed out, forming a cage that trapped Xu Changqing, ignoring his miserable roars.

The origins of evil thoughts and curses are conceptually very similar. If the water of the underworld can eliminate curses, then it can also be effective against evil thoughts.

Surrounded by the Yellow Springs water, Xu Changqing screamed more and more miserably. To be precise, it was the black energy within his body that was screaming, as if it were alive.

Squeak~squeak~squeak~

Just like putting a red-hot iron into snow, evil thoughts also melt away completely under the embrace of the Yellow Springs water.

Xu Changqing recovered, but the power of the Holy Spirit Pearl was also mostly consumed. When it returned to Zi Xuan's hand, its light was dim and seemed to be about to go out at any moment.

However, seeing Xu Changqing's condition improve, Zixuan showed no other emotion besides happiness. In her eyes, the so-called Holy Spirit Pearl was nothing compared to Xu Changqing's life.

"Brother Chu's sword seems to be very effective against that filthy thing. We must eliminate him next time we meet."

"The evil thoughts on my senior brother are part of the Evil Sword Immortal. While I was eliminating these evil thoughts, he probably sensed what was happening here. In the coming days, he will probably try to stay away from me."

"what a pity……"

"There's nothing to regret. Our goal from the beginning wasn't the Evil Sword Immortal, but to repair the Demon Locking Tower. As long as he doesn't interfere with us, that's the best outcome."

Xu Changqing's complexion was gradually improving, but Zixuan's complexion became very bad, and her white hair was visibly increasing.

Chu Yang stepped forward and channeled some of his life force into her, sighing, "As a member of the Nuwa clan, after giving birth to your daughter, you should have lost your demigod status and aged like a mortal, but you changed all of that with the Holy Spirit Pearl."

"Now that the power of the Holy Spirit Pearl has greatly diminished, it is difficult to help you maintain your youth. You will gradually degenerate into a mortal body."

"Senior Zixuan, do you have any regrets?"

Zixuan smiled upon hearing this, "I would never regret doing anything for him."

Chu Yang said helplessly, "Senior's obsession is the deepest I have ever seen in my life. I truly admire you. But isn't it a bit too much to sacrifice your own daughter for this?"

Zi Xuan's face suddenly turned pale, and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "That's not how it is. I stayed in Fengdu City to wait for him all year and had no idea what happened in Nanzhao Kingdom. By the time I rushed back, it was already too late."

"Qing'er turned into a stone statue to suppress the water demon beast. I wanted to fight Baiyue to the death, but the previous Holy Maiden stopped me. She knocked me unconscious and sent me out of the Nanzhao Kingdom."

She said that since I chose to give up my duties as a descendant of Nuwa, I was no longer qualified to interfere in the affairs of the Nuwa clan, nor was I qualified to return to the Nanzhao Kingdom.

“I really didn’t want this to happen. I’m so sorry to Qing’er. Not only did I seal her with the puppet soup for decades, but I also took the Holy Spirit Pearl. If she had the Holy Spirit Pearl with her, the ending might have been different…”

At this point, Zixuan covered her face and burst into tears.

Chu Yang didn't know how to comfort her. Since ancient times, the Heavenly Serpent Staff, the Holy Spirit Pearl, and the Holy Spirit Cloak have been treasures passed down through generations of the Nuwa clan.

Among them, the Holy Spirit Pearl is an unparalleled treasure nurtured by each generation of Nuwa's descendants.

As Zixuan said, if the Witch Queen had been fully equipped back then, she might not have needed to transform into a stone statue to suppress the water demon beast.

It's easy to imagine how much she must have felt guilty as a mother. How could she not regret it? She was just deceiving herself.

Li Xiaoyao also learned of Zi Xuan's identity from her confession. At that moment, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body went numb.

Ling'er's mother's mother?

Isn't that my maternal grandmother!

That Brother Xu...

Isn't that Ling'er's maternal grandfather!

what the hell!

Li Xiaoyao's legs went weak for a moment. He had been on very friendly terms with Ling'er's maternal grandfather along the way.

"What are you thinking about!"

Chu Yang flicked Li Xiaoyao's head a few times and said irritably, "I told you when we met the Demon Lord that the past is the past, but you don't remember it at all!"

"No matter what the future holds, Xu Changqing will always be Xu Changqing, and no one else."

"I said this to Xiaoyao, and also to you, Senior Zixuan."

Zi Xuan looked at Chu Yang with teary eyes.

“If you can accept the fact that Xu Changqing is just Xu Changqing and are still willing to love him, then I wholeheartedly support you being together. If you only see him as a substitute for Gu Liufang and Lin Yeping, then there is no need to torture yourself like this.”

"Let him go, and let yourself go too. While Ling'er is still here, everything can still be salvaged. If you can't be a good mother, you should at least be a good elder and fulfill your last bit of responsibility."
