Yuan Biyao suddenly frowned and asked, “What did you say just now? You said that you changed Li Ying’s constitution. What did you mean by that?”

“I helped him enter the devil path and turned him into the master of the Devil World.”

“Then can you help him turn back from a devil?” Yuan Biyao asked instantly.

Ling Youren nodded. “I can try!”

Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t help but size up Ling Youren once more. The power in her body was completely linked to the Devil World, so wasn’t the reason why Li Ying had put her inside the world tree was so that others wouldn’t discover her secret?

If all the people of the Devil World were turned back from being devils, wouldn’t Li Ying become the lone devil within the Devil World? Wouldn’t he be very lonely at that time?

But regardless of which supreme expert it was, wouldn’t they all become unrivaled in the end? When they reached the peak, they could look down on others and no one would be able to stand by their side anymore. They would even start to thirst for a worthy rival.

Li Yunmu couldn’t help but think of the system’s words. Perhaps once he reached the peak, he might also experience those emotions?

Two waves of dark energy appeared in Ling Youren’s hand, which constantly revolved around Li Yunmu while she kept chanting some incantation which appeared similar to the original ancient secret method.

At that moment, there were two ancient secret methods in Li Yunmu’s hand. One of them was from the Primordial God World while the other from the Devil World, so the two women could be considered twins.

Ling Youren looked somewhat vicious while Yuan Biyao was like a clean and spotless jade.

Li Yunmu slowly closed his eyes, allowing the two waves of dark energy to enter and circulate in his body. They seemed to be destroying and eliminating the impure energy in his body.

“Help me... I haven’t accumulated strength for a long time so my power has been exhausted.”

Ling Youren’s words startled Yuan Biyao, who forgot about her jealousy and immediately began to help her. After all, she was the only hope for Li Yunmu to recover his reason.

She didn’t want to see Li Yunmu falling further onto the devil path and transforming into a ruthless devil like Li Ying, who murdered anyone without blinking.

She hoped that Li Yunmu could return to his original state, when he was an extremely warm and kind youth. It was the real Li Yunmu and not the one right then who would do anything to obtain power.

When Yuan Biyao poured her power into Ling Youren’s body, she was startled, but she soon used the power flowing into her body in a steady stream to continue eliminating the devil energy in Li Yunmu’s body bit by bit.

Yuan Biyao could see the black smoke coming out from Li Yunmu’s body. It was most likely representing that Li Yunmu was turning back into a human, which caused her eyes to shine and joy fill her body.

“Li Yunmu, are you alright?”

Li Yunmu stayed with his eyes closed and his brow knitted. He didn’t reply.

“It hasn’t been dispersed completely. You mustn’t relx or all the previous efforts will be wasted,” Ling Youren said gloomily.

After hearing Ling Youren’s words, Yuan Biyao sent even more power into her body. She decided to go for broke to make sure that Li Yunmu recovered his original state.

On the contrary, Li Yunmu was feeling rather peaceful with the two incarnations of the ancient secret methods by his side while they kept glittering in his chest as if trying to outshine each other.

After an hour, both Ling Youren and Yuan Biyao were forced to retreat because of the smoke of impure energy coming out of Li Yunmu’s body.

The two women toppled to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood, while the black energy in Li Yunmu’s surroundings kept revolving around him.

Ling Youren smiled bitterly. “I... have done my best. Now whether the corrosion of demonic presence is thoroughly removed or not completely depends upon him.”

Yuan Biyao nervously looked at Li Yunmu and emotionally said, “Li Yunmu, you cannot continue stubbornly push on with the wrong path, quickly return to your original appearance! I beg you! I really don’t want you to stay on the devil path. You are my man!”

Yuan Biyao’s words seemed to have given hope to Li Yunmu. He fiercely opened his eyes, and the black energy surrounding him was completely dispersed by the burst of a golden light from his body.

Yuan Biyao’s eyes filled with pleasant surprise. She could see the pure and clear expression in Li Yunmu’s eyes, which was unlike before, when his pupils were pitch black.

“He has recovered! He has recovered!”

Yuan Biyao began to jump excitedly, but Ling Youren, who was by her side, looked at Li Yunmu and asked with some doubt, “What did you call him just now?”

“Li Yunmu!”

“He isn’t Li Ying?” Ling Youren’s eyes were full of despair, and she spoke to herself, unwilling to accept it. “No, this is impossible, I can sense that he is Li Ying!”

Yuan Biyao curled her lips and said, “Li Ying is already—”

When Li Yunmu saw that Yuan Biyao was about to tell Li Ying’s true whereabouts to Ling Youren, he promptly cut her off.

“Li Ying has already recovered his reason and presently enjoys being called Li Yunmu.”

Li Yunmu’s word allowed Ling Youren to breathe a sigh of relief, and she jumped into his embrace.

“It doesn’t matter that you’ve changed your name! I will still accompany you for eternity! In the past thousand years, you protected me, but I won’t let you get lonely anymore. Now that you have woken up again, I won’t let you leave easily.”

“You!”

Yuan Biyao ruthlessly looked at Li Yunmu and Ling Youren.

“However, I have already married your sister whom I found when I was in the Primordial God World,” he said indifferently. “Now, you two sisters should acknowledge each other, right?”

Ling Youren was slightly startled and looked at the gloomy and depressed Yuan Biyao before saying, “You said, she is my sister?”

Li Yunmu took out the two ancient secret methods before continuing to speak. “These are two identical methods, and you both can see it, right? This is your original appearance, before you cultivated for a thousand years and condensed your spirits.”

Ling Youren nodded and suddenly turned to Yuan Biyao to greet her. “Elder sister! Younger sister was blind just a moment ago and couldn’t recognize you. But younger sister really loves Li Ying and have been discourteous towards you.”

Li Yunmu once more interrupted Yuan Biyao. “She has a little bit of a temper, but I am already used to it. Youren, since you woke up, I won’t forget our previous agreement. We will get wed in the Devil World, then leave this place. I am no longer the same Li Ying, so staying here isn’t necessary anymore.”
