“Anyway, since that day, our Peach Blossom Island has stopped receiving any foreign guests for a very long time, in fear of such a thing happening again.”

The disciples who were responsible for the guests didn’t have deep cultivation and were rather young too. When Wu Xingxue was rampaging through the world, he was probably still too young to remember anything. Yet still, while narrating the story, his face was still pale as paper. It was evident that this event had left a deep shadow, with retellings passing along from person to person.

At the time, the person who was hit the hardest was Mr. Yi Wusheng, as well as our Sect Leader. After all, the people who tragically died under that vicious devil’s hand were all their own relatives, “said the disciple.” Mr. Yi Wusheng was distraught and devastated and almost lost his mind. Ever since, his body has become much weaker. It’s just like the saying goes, doctors can’t cure themselves. He needs to enter seclusion for a period every year to adjust his body, and only then can he continue on his road of cultivation. “

As for the Sect Leader, he also admitted that he was almost driven insane at that time as well.”

During those few years, Hua Zhaoting has been extremely apprehensive, thinking that everyone could be suspicious. There were over a thousand people on Peach Blossom Island, and he thought that all of them could be possessed by devils. They would pretend to be normal and harmless, waiting for an opportunity to devour others on the island.

The place Hua Zhaoting lived in was called Jiahua Hall.

Before, the sect leader would personally train twelve sword-practicing disciples in his hall, and there would be many other disciples responsible for cleaning and other tasks as well. But ever since the Wu Xingxue incident, the entire Jianhua Hall has been emptied.

All the disciples were moved back to the Disciples’ Hall; not a single one was allowed to stay.

Ever since, the Sect Leader has developed a habit of living alone. As for all the daily tasks that needed to be done in Jianhua Hall, he would do them himself.

That happened and remains to this day.

“After that, our Peach Blossom Island went from three halls to four. A punishment hall was added, “said the disciple.

“Punishment Hall? What do they do?” asked Wu Xingxue.

“Check for the devils,” explained the disciple. “All of us disciples have to get up early and report to the Punishment Hall first thing in the morning. The Punishment Hall’s elders will check our souls. Once the soul-checking talisman is stuck onto your wrist, they’ll know whether you’re a devil or whether you are possessed. “

“Every day?” Wu Xingxue asked in shock.

“Yes, every day,” then the disciple added, “In fact, twice every day; both morning and night. After we finish our daily assignments, we’ll return to the Punishment Hall again. Especially the disciples who were on patrol duty. They’re the most dangerous. “

“……”

The psychological shadow was quite large.

Then it must be quite rough on your punishment hall’s elder. Every day, from morning to night, he must repeat the same motion countless times.In stories, such a person would have either rebelled or gone crazy. “

“…

“He might want to check his own soul sometimes too.” Wu Xingxue added:

“He does,” said the disciple.

Wu Xingxue thought about it, gave a “mm,” then said, “So you had to say all that just to make it easier to ask?”

“?”
