The inhabitants of Waxing Moon Island practically have never seen Wen Xuan so panicked. For a moment, they all felt somewhat flabbergasted.
Wen Xuan didn’t bother with other’s gazes and only repeatedly emphasized that they definitely can’t let these Violet Feathers come in. He even flew towards the center of the protection array himself and increased the defense of the island several times.
He stared at those Violet Feathers outside as if facing his greatest foes, feeling cold sweats gather all over his body.
The gazes that those Violet Feathers used to look at him gained some amusement. The person in the front even smiled again: “Cultivator Wen, what do you mean by this?”
“Please return.” Wen Xuan said: “Waxing Moon Island does not welcome you guys.”
After these words were spoken, the inhabitants of the island all became somewhat upset. Although they settled overseas, they still knew the logic of not offending large Sects. For Wen Xuan to suddenly adopt this kind of unyielding attitude, it made them bewildered and nervous.
Wen Xuan couldn’t think of any words of explanation yet. The leader of those Violet Feathers outside already raised his voice and said: “Looks like Cultivator Wen is very clear about what we’re really here for, huh?”
“Like I already said, what’s the point of making things so complicated?” In the back, another Violet Feathers piped in. This clear and bright voice was actually from a girl: “You should just be direct with this kind of thing.”
Saying this, the woman walked next to the leader’s side and raised her head smiling, revealing her countenance. It was actually somewhat similar to that leader. Clearly they were brother and sister.
Moments later, these Violet Feathers all shifted positions and faintly surrounded the entire island.
Were they about to attack? Wen Xuan unconsciously increased his vigilance.
He knew that with his current strength, he probably wouldn’t win against even one of those people. The only thing he could rely on right now was the protection array over this island. However, just how effective this protection array was against these people, he wasn’t really sure and can only hope for the best.
“Everyone,” Wen Xuan said to the inhabitants of the island: “Please aid me.”
The inhabitants of the island have followed Wen Xuan for a long time. Hearing his words, they didn’t hesitate too much and all sent their strength into the magic array.
Still, it didn’t stop someone from asking: “Island leader, just what is going on?”
“After this is over,” Wen Xuan felt sweat seeping out of his palms: “I will definitely explain it properly to you guys.”
After he said these words, the inhabitants of Waxing Moon Island didn’t even have a chance to say anything, outside, the Violet Feathers already burst into a wave of laughter: “ahahaha, do you guys really believe he dares to explain this?”
Saying this, they raised their hands one by one, all taking out a bamboo flute from their sleeves.
This kind of flute was called the Beast Controlling Flute. The Cerulean Feathers and Violet Feathers had common origins. Many people could recognize this item.
Normally when they pulled out their Beast Controlling Flute, they’d let out the demonic beasts that they controlled. However, the behavior of these Violet Feathers was not ordinary. They didn’t release any demonic beast, but instead, just started blowing.
“What the heck?” The inhabitants of the island couldn’t help but become more perplexed.
“I’ve seen this kind of battle formation before. I conversed with Cerulean Feathers before.” Another person said: “They’re trying to suppress the demonic beast that they want to capture right now.”
“But Waxing Moon Island doesn’t have any demonic beasts?”
After this rather perplexing conversation, finally someone discovered that Wen Xuan’s expression was unusually unsightly.

Clenching his jaw tightly, Wen Xuan glared at the Violet Feathers outside, both eyes a vivid red. At this moment in time, probably only he knew what was happening.
Suppressing demonic beasts? Everyone all guessed wrong. These people weren’t suppressing anything right now.
On the contrary, they were currently agitating the demonic beast energy inside Wen Xuan’s body!
Wen Xuan can feel the demonic beast energy that was originally quietly trapped behind the ice block currently stirring restlessly, and frantically striking against the seal that was on the verge of breaking. Relying on his own willpower, Wen Xuan wanted to contest against the sound of these flutes. However the result was miniscule.
He was too careless. The opponent’s method was not only strength by brute force. They calculated very clearly, on this island that didn’t even have a gold core cultivator, no one would be bored enough to set up an array that could block the sound of a flute that only affected demonic beasts.
Wen Xuan’s heart felt like it had sunk into a river of ice.
He looked at the inhabitants of Waxing Moon Island and knew that some things he can no longer remain silent on. Because of his current state, he spoke very slowly, every single word requiring all of his strength: “Very sorry……I…… have something…… I’ve been concealing from you guys all this time……”
How would these people look at him after knowing the truth? How many people would still be willing to follow him? Wen Xuan could no longer deliberate over this question anymore.
Yet he never imagined that the Violet Feathers outside didn’t even give him a chance to find out this answer.
The sound of the flutes abruptly stopped. The agitated demonic energy inside Wen Xuan’s body also abruptly reverberated, shocking Wen Xuan into directly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Island leader!” Even more people ran to his side, looking concerned.
Yet just at this time, someone outside laughed and said in a raised voice: “Do you guys really think he’s still your island leader?”
What did this mean? Many people who extended their hands towards Wen Xuan unconsciously halted.
“That’s a demonic beast! As for your island leader, he died a long time ago!” That woman’s sharp and crisp voice was extremely loud and clear: “He was already devoured into this demonic beast’s stomach! And then this demonic beast changed into his appearance so that it can eat all of you guys as well!”
The crowd was immediately in uproar.
Wen Xuan whipped his head up, eyes instantly becoming bloodshot: “Absolute nonsense!”
In face of this retort of his, those Violet Feathers only laughed.
Everyone all knew that the Beast Controlling Flute was only effective against demonic beasts. Wen Xuan’s current appearance already left a doubt in many people’s hearts.
However, there were still people willing to echo Wen Xuan’s words: “That’s right, absolute nonsense! Although we don’t know what exactly you guys plan to do, we’ve followed Wen-ge all these years. If he really got substituted, you think we wouldn’t know?”
This was someone who followed Wen Xuan since leaving the Water Cloud Sect. Surname Zhang. Back then, the person who led those twenty some people to chase after Wen Xuan was also this person. When he finished speaking, he reached out to support Wen Xuan by the elbow: “Let’s go, Wen-ge. I’ll take you back inside to rest. Don’t worry about this. To actually use this kind of underhanded technique. Clearly, it’s because they can’t break through the protection array.”
Saying this, he looked at the people beside him: “What are you guys all frozen for? Come help quickly.”
However, among these people, there had to be some who were convinced by the Violet Feathers’ words: “But…… the island leader…… the Beast Controlling Flute……”
“I already said it’s only their underhanded technique! Just because it looked like he was affected by the Beast Controlling Flute, does it necessarily mean he definitely got affected by the Beast Controlling Flute? Who knows what they did to Wen-ge!”
Hearing these words, those Violet Feathers outside laughed again.
The brother and sister in the front placed the Beast Controlling Flute by their lips again and started to play a sharp and intense duet.
This sharp tune traveled into Wen Xuan’s ears, like it was penetrating his eardrums. Directly stabbing into the deep part of his meridians, it rushed into the area where the demonic beast energy gathered, and ruthlessly struck at the surface of that ice block.
In that moment, Ye ShengGe’s divine memory crumbled with a loud rumble and disappeared without a trace.
“No……” Wen Xuan let out a sob.
Zhang shidi placed a hand on his shoulder, looking like he was about to comfort Wen Xuan briefly.
Yet in this split second, the block of ice that had already endured countless battering from Wen Xuan’s spirit energy, finally collapsed completely under the combined force from inside and outside.
“No!” Wen Xuan reached out and pushed away the person next to him, wanting to move him away.
But just at this moment, his originally well defined fingers actually changed into the sharp claws of a beast all of a sudden.
That Zhang shidi looked at this scene, stunned. Unable to respond, he immediately was hit in the chest by the sharp claws, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was violently thrown backwards.
No, it shouldn’t be like this! Wen Xuan wanted to say something, but what came out of his throat was already the roar of a demonic beast.
“Beast……” The people who were originally gathered beside him all backed away in shock: “Demonic beast……”
“It’s a demonic beast!”
“What those people said were correct! This really isn’t the island leader. This is a demonic beast!” Several people instantly ran far away in fear.
Moments later, some people returned with reddened eyes: “Vile creature, return Wen-ge back to us!”
Wen Xuan wanted to explain. He wanted to say that he was Wen Xuan. He wanted to tell them, although he was a demonic beast, he was still Wen Xuan. He’s always been like this. He’s never transformed before.
But it was already too late. Everything was already too late. Right now, he couldn’t express a single word. No matter what he wanted to say, he could only let out a roar from his throat.
Why would it become like this? He remembered very clearly when he saw his appearance in infancy in that illusory past, he was clearly more or less still human looking. Why did he turn completely into a beast right now?
Was it because of the growth of his demonic beast energy? Or because of something those Violet Feathers did?
Wen Xuan couldn’t figure out the answer. There were already weapons hitting on his body. The source was from all those followers who had once loved and respected him. The more they had loved and respected him before, the harder they struck him right now.
He opened his mouth and let out a deafening howl of fury. The demonic beast energy erupted out of his body and abruptly hit the people in the surrounding, freezing them with its coldness.
“What a strong demonic beast!” Following the alarmed cries from the inhabitants of Waxing Moon Island, someone finally opened the magic array and allowed those Violet Feathers inside.
Both eyes red, Wen Xuan looked at these Violet Feathers and discovered that he was actually having some trouble controlling himself. For example, he never thought about injuring that Zhang shidi, but he couldn’t control the strength of his action at all. For example, he didn’t want to harm these followers at all, but he couldn’t restrain the demonic beast energy flooding out of his body. And also for example, he rarely felt killing intent for anyone, but at the moment, he only wanted to slaughter everyone before him.
He can feel the demonic energy flooding his body, but there was still plenty of spiritual energy mixed in together.
The Violet Feathers stopped at the center. That brother and sister pulled out a net.
Was he going to let them prevail?
“Roar!” Wen Xuan bellowed in rage again and did one thing. Taking advantage of the fact that he could still control the spiritual energy in his body, he took that one step.
And formed a core.
“It formed a core!” Those Violet Feathers sensed this change and cried out in alarm.
Endless spiritual energy flooded into Wen Xuan’s body from the heaven and earth, but it only strengthened the demonic beast energy. When Xuan finally formed a core, he wasn’t able to become a gold core cultivator. Instead, he only became an even more terrifying demonic beast.
Wen Xuan snarled, swinging unceasingly with the sharp claws that he was still unused to. He also used the demonic beast energy that he still didn’t know how to control to attack frantically, only wanting to kill them all. The leader of those Violet Feathers was actually also a gold core. However, under Wen Xuan’s frenzy, even he was somewhat unable to handle it.
Then this person turned his head and yelled: “Still not coming to help!? Don’t you guys want to get revenge?”
Many sorrowful inhabitants of Waxing Moon Island heard these words – unaware of how terrifying Wen Xuan had become right now – and actually really started to gather and attack Wen Xuan once more.
What kind of sinister, ill-intent was this? When facing a gold core demonic beast, this group of people would only be throwing away their lives.
Just as Wen Xuan’s sharp claws were about to land on the heads of these inhabitants of Waxing Moon Island, however, he suddenly recovered his consciousness again and stopped his action with reddened eyes.
With this mere moment of hesitation, it was enough for that brother and sister from Violet Feathers to finally cast out the huge net in their hands and trap Wen Xuan inside.
This huge net was made from some unknown material that actually managed to suppress all of Wen Xuan’s demonic beast energy, pressing him down so he couldn’t move at all and leaving him to only howl.
The people from Violet Feathers relaxed. The sister from that brother sister duo whistled: “Draw up the net!”
With these words, those people started to gather in unison.
Wen Xuan struggled with all of his might. He didn’t know what kind of future awaited him once he landed in these people’s hands. He can only struggle desperately. However, this huge net suppressed his energy tremendously and made him completely helpless.
In the midst of this despair, the rest of the Violet Feathers reached out, each grabbing a corner of this huge net.
But there was one person who didn’t touch the net. Instead, they reached their hands into the huge net itself and gently stroked the fur on Wen Xuan’s sharp claws.
“Number 4!” The brother-sister leaders yelled in discontent: “What are you doing?”
This person completely ignored them. They only raised their head and looked at Wen Xuan. This person had a stranger’s face, but an extremely familiar gaze.
Pretty much within a split second, Wen Xuan was able to determine that he was looking at a face mask. And under this face mask was a person he knew exceptionally well.
Save him JY?
By the way can anyone tell me what WX’s beast form looks like???
I am getting notifications about the update but I can’t open the new chapters!!
The universe is against me reading this novel….
I don’t think it was actually ever discribed, but I always kind of imagined a beast similar to Inuyasha’s full demon form. Except, maybe more bluish, icy-ish, with a icy horn in the middle of the forehead? Probably totally wrong though
Thanks for the chapter.
this cliffhanger may actually kill me
Same
Thanks for the chapter!
I guess Jiang Yi is really the only person that knows loyalty in this book. I’m shook

Yo JY low key sinister, just to teach him a lesson, couldn’t he have stood out for him before it got this far? Or is it the will for him to be completely betrayed?
