but as a measure to keep her in control, she wasn't trained in any kind of cultivation.

and she was watched all the time.

for forty years, she couldn't break free

finally, she was charged with a made-up crime and was sent to the bottommost of the tower she lived in.

In the night before her execution, ironically she found a demonic spell on the so righteous sect's tower of sanctity.

Yu Yan read it and laughed. Laughed with unrestrained joy and happiness in her voice.

'give your soul away, and live again in the flesh.'

"to live again, one needs to become a demon? Ha! After living a lifetime as the weak, being trampled when they wanted to trample, being touched when they wanted to touch, living dependant on another's whim. no one will ever bind me again."

Yu Yan got ahold of her dagger, and plunged into her heart and screamed in madness

"TODAY I DIE AS A LAMB, TO LIVE AGAIN AS A DEMON!"
