Simulated Lives: The Sorrow of the Sword Maiden-Chapter 16 – The sinner stained with the blood of his elder brother

Slaughtered all the demon cultivators that invaded the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Xu Moli's heart, filled with endless despair, finally found a moment of relief.
She calmly scanned her surroundings, looking at the righteous path reinforcements who arrived late. No one dared to meet her gaze, not even the familiar faces from the Heavenly Sword Sect, who were startled and took several steps back.
What kind of gaze was that?
Anger?
Sorrow?
No, it was something more extreme, an emptiness of complete loss.
It instilled fear in others, while also raising doubts: was this girl before them really still "human"?
Describing her as a "living corpse" might be more appropriate.
Xu Moli's face was expressionless as she paid no attention to these righteous cultivators. She rode her sword into the sky, heading back towards the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Brother, what really happened three years ago?"
The girl silently mused in her heart.
She was not foolish. After avenging her brother, she keenly sensed something. If Xu Xi truly thought she was a burden, he wouldn't have coincidentally arrived in time to rescue her.
This indicated that from beginning to end, Xu Xi had been silently watching over her.
But.
If he cared so much.
Why did he act so heartlessly back then, even leaving the Heavenly Sword Sect and severing their connection?
With doubts and confusion in her heart, Xu Moli flew straight to Sen Sword Peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect. If anyone could provide answers, it would undoubtedly be their teacher, Li Wanshou.
Before long.
Xu Moli met the old man recuperating from the great battle.
She recounted everything that had happened to the old man.
Li Wanshou remained silent for a long time, finally sighing deeply, "Enough, enough, what use is there in hiding now?"
"Since he appeared before you, he must have been prepared for you to know everything."

Looking at the blood-stained wooden sword in Xu Moli's hand.
Li Wanshou stroked his beard and shook his head, revealing the full story of how Xu Xi sacrificed everything to create an External Spiritual Root to save Moli, and to prevent her from finding out, he chose to leave without a word.
Such a truth, such a fact, was far beyond Xu Moli's expectations.
She could never have imagined.
The illness that had plagued her for seven years.
Its cure came at the cost of her brother's everything.
Burning his life, burning his cultivation, burning his spiritual root, living in such agony, it was unimaginable what mindset her brother had to endure each day.
Even on the last day of his life, he dragged his broken body to save his sister's life.
"I..."
Xu Moli's pupils trembled violently.
The tragic scene of her brother's death replayed endlessly before her eyes, deepening her despair and intensifying the pain in her heart.
It hurt so much.
Her whole body was wracked with intense pain.
Especially her stomach, it hurt so much it was convulsing.
Her eyes were sore, as if they wanted to shed tears, but the tears had long dried up, making the pain even worse, so much so that she couldn't see her own hands clearly.
Looking down at her hands and feet, she felt they were covered in sinful blood.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"
If it weren't for her, her brother could have lived well, basking in the admiration of others as the number one prodigy.
Instead of ending up like this.
With no remains left.
Yes, it was all her fault, she was a burden, a sinner stained with her brother's blood.
"Brother..."
Knowing the whole truth, the girl left the top of Sen Sword Peak in a daze, returning to the cave abode where the siblings had lived together for 12 years, frantically searching every corner.
After searching for a long time, she found a small storage ring.
It contained a large amount of cultivation resources.
Left behind by Xu Xi.
The girl didn't care about the quantity of resources; what mattered to her was that these were among the few items her brother left in the world, and they held special significance as a gift.
In the days that followed.
The girl locked herself in the cave abode, neither cultivating nor responding to the sect's summons.
She just sat quietly in the deepest room of the cave abode.
Opening the storage ring, she poured out all the items inside, letting these objects imbued with Xu Xi's aura completely engulf her.
As if by doing so.
She could create the atmosphere that Xu Xi was still by her side.
But as she poured them out, Xu Moli suddenly discovered an unusual item among the many things she had taken out. It was neither a cultivation resource nor an extremely rare treasure.
It was a jar of candy.
A jar filled to the brim with candy.
"This is..."
Xu Moli's previously lifeless eyes regained a hint of light. Her arm, slightly stiff, picked up the jar and took a piece of hard candy, placing it in her mouth.
The taste was familiar.
But something was off.
Perhaps it was because it had been stored for too long.
It was no longer edible.
No, that's not right, it wasn't that it had been stored too long, but that she had discovered it too late.
The girl's tears fell silently once more. If she had found this jar of candy in the first year after Xu Xi left, she could have savored it when it was at its best.
But she hadn't.
She was so useless, useless to the point of self-loathing.
"I must atone... I must, I must... bring my brother back to life..."
"No matter... what the cost..."
Her voice, breaking down mentally, was filled with sobs and determination.
The next day.
Xu Moli's figure vanished from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Without any announcement, without leaving any words, she disappeared without a trace.
It's said that someone once unexpectedly saw Xu Moli in a mortal city called Blackstone City, where she used great magic to move a wooden house, tears of blood streaming down her face as if she were weeping.
Later, Xu Moli was seen in an Inheritance Cave Abode.
Her cultivation had reached the Elemental Infant Stage.
She acted with dominance, slaying a Divine Transformation Cultivator.
Her name as the "Killer of Immortals" shocked the entire Cultivation World.
Killing, endless killing, until the entire Demonic Path was nearly wiped out.
She seemed to have an irreconcilable hatred with demonic cultivators, single-handedly bringing the Demonic Path to near extinction, prompting a Tribulation Stage demonic giant to take action, yet she still managed to escape.
Not only that.
When Xu Moli appeared again, she had also broken through to the Tribulation Stage.
With one sword, she annihilated the Tribulation Stage demon cultivator, along with the top demonic sect behind him, using her supreme magical powers to erase them from the world.
After that, the cultivators knew nothing more.
Xu Moli's talent was too monstrous, defying the heavens.
The lower realm could no longer contain her.
She disdained remaining in the Cultivation World, as if there was nothing here she wanted, so she opened the Heavenly Gate with her sword, and before her cultivation reached the requirement for ascension, she used unparalleled offensive divine powers to open the path to ascension, entering the Immortal Realm alone.
"How dare you, mortal being, to intrude upon the Immortal Realm!"
"Failing to bow to an immortal, your name shall be on the Monument of Passing!"
"Mere mortal, seeing me is like a frog gazing at the moon from a well. You, having entered the immortal path, should regard this Emperor as an ephemeral creature peering at the heavens."
Killing all the way, breaking through her cultivation all the way.
Facing countless formidable foes.
But with just a wooden sword, Xu Moli killed until no one in the Immortal Realm dared to boast.
The once infamous name of the "Killer of Immortals" in the lower realm spread just as widely in the Immortal Realm, and in the end, even the exalted Immortal Emperor could not escape that heaven-slaying sword.
