Chapter 133: Washing Away Memories, a Heart Shattered by Love

A rainstorm washes away so much dust and takes away countless floating particles.
A gust of wind blows down many petals and carries away numerous white clouds.
A sword stains itself with so much blood and claims countless lives.
A heart bears deep love etched within it, yet brings endless sorrow.
A book records countless stories and sparks deep reflection…
“How about it? Have you made up your mind? I could easily kill him—just because you’re my daughter. Don’t say I haven’t thought of you.” Ao Tian said, looking at Liu Yi lying on the ground while reminding July.
July still couldn’t quite believe it and asked, “Really? Will you really just take his memories?”
Ao Tian smiled. “I’ve already sworn an oath to true magic. Don’t you trust what I say?”
July stared at Liu Yi on the ground. Though she had already begun to regret agreeing to Ao Tian’s scheme, seeing that familiar figure now filled her heart with countless longings…
In fact, what Ao Tian was doing was already the least he could do. As the supreme leader of the demon clan, under normal circumstances, he would have eliminated any potential threat. July just didn’t understand why her usually ruthless father was showing mercy today—was it really to fulfill her wishes?
Ao Tian looked at July, seemingly impatient, and said, “This is already the minimum I’ll do. If you disagree, I’ll have to hand him over to the Four Guardians to deal with.”
July understood—of course she did. If Liu Yi’s life was handed over to those four guardians, it would be the same as killing him outright…
Panicked, July didn’t know what to do. In her haste, she nodded and said, “Then let’s begin.”
Ao Tian smiled. “This is my good daughter. From now on, you can take him and travel far away. Your father won’t demand anything more from you.”
With that, he hurriedly stepped in front of Liu Yi, raised his hands swiftly, and his powerful true energy quickly formed an unimaginable force. Green light emanated from his hands and gradually spread around his body. Liu Yi’s body slowly floated upward and, under Ao Tian’s green energy, began to stand upright…
As Liu Yi’s body straightened, Ao Tian’s hands slowly moved toward the sides of Liu Yi’s temples. Eventually, his hands rested on both temples. As his hands made contact with Liu Yi’s temples, green light rapidly penetrated into his brain. When the two streams of green light met inside Liu Yi’s brain, white light emerged. That white light slowly rose and flowed back into Ao Tian’s hands…
Watching the white light flow back into Ao Tian’s hands from Liu Yi’s brain, July was shocked. She rushed forward and shouted, “No! That’s not the ‘Soul Transference’ technique!” But the protective energy around Ao Tian instantly pushed her back.
Ao Tian turned his attention to the four men in black and said, “Seize her.”

Two guardians suddenly rushed forward and swiftly grabbed July’s arms. No matter how hard July struggled, she couldn’t break free from their grasp. As time passed, July was filled with regret. She shouldn’t have trusted her lustful father; she shouldn’t have hoped for his affection. It was her own desires that led her to make such regrettable choices. But what could she do now? She had no way to undo this mistake.

Time went by slowly. The white light in Liu Yi’s mind gradually faded, and he fell into Aotian’s arms. Gradually, Liu Yi’s body collapsed again. As he fell, the soul mask slowly slipped off and landed on the ground. A flash of black light appeared, and then it disappeared… A clearly carved face appeared before everyone—it was a strange face they had never seen before, not even July. This face was unfamiliar to her as well. Perhaps over the past ten years, the “Lanerfina Qing” cultivation method had had a profound impact on Liu Yi. If not observed closely, it would be hard for July to tell whether the master of Eternal City was the same scholar who had caused trouble everywhere ten years ago.

Aotian took a moment to recover, opened his eyes, and suddenly burst into loud laughter. Turning around, he said, “My good daughter, I’ve erased all of his memories from this life. From today onward, he belongs to you.”

July struggled and cried out, “What else have you done to him? That wasn’t just a simple memory wipe.”

Aotian smiled and said, “As expected of my daughter—you really understand your father well! To prevent him from posing a threat to me, I merely disabled his martial skills.” Then he laughed heartily and continued, “Daughter, I’m doing this for your own good. Now that this boy has no memories and no martial skills, he’ll be safe by your side, and I’ll be at ease too.”

“Haha, let’s go.” Aotian no longer cared about his daughter’s life or what might happen here, because his scheme had succeeded. He had not only erased Liu Yi’s memories and disabled his martial skills but also obtained the twelfth-level “Lanerfina Qing” from those buried memories.

The four of them released July and followed Aotian into the darkness…

“Demon Lord, I’m still worried about that man,” said one of the guardians behind Aotian.

Aotian walked on, smiling, and said, “Worried about what? He has no martial skills and no memories. He’s just an ordinary person now. Haha, and… I’ve already obtained his supreme cultivation method, the twelfth-level ‘Lanerfina Qing’. Even if he still had martial skills and memories, at best we’d be even. But… how could the strength of his Eternal City compare to ours, the demonic path? From today onward, I, Aotian, will rewrite the legends of the martial world. I will unify the three realms. I will confront Leng Jian…”

With the twelfth-level “Lanerfina Qing” in his possession and his biggest threat eliminated, Aotian’s arrogance surged once again. Indeed, with the strength of the demonic path behind him, he now had the ability to compete with even the most powerful forces of the human righteous path.

As that arrogant voice faded away, Aotian gradually disappeared into the darkness. As he vanished, a voice reached July’s ears: “Daughter, I not only erased his memories but also altered them. You will surely be grateful to me.” July stared at the figure disappearing into the darkness—the father who had no right to be her father. Driven by his wild desires, he cared nothing about her life or death. Once he got what he wanted, he would simply walk away… July gently sat in front of Liu Yi, looking at his clear face. That face had appeared in her dreams so many times, causing her heartache. Now, she didn’t know whether to be happy or regretful. She had him, but she had also deeply hurt him. Now, he was just an ordinary person without any memories. Would he really live his future life with her?
