After Being Betrayed, The Immortal Master Ran Away With The Demon Venerable

As Mingguang Sect’s esteemed Immortal Master, Yi Ning had never experienced much heartbreak and suffering. He had always expected his life to be smooth-sailing, and was only waiting to ascend before marrying his disciple with whom he shared mutual affection. However, he had never expected that on a rainy night, his disciple brought back a childhood friend. They were close and intimate, to the point… of sharing a bed. Standing before the bed where they were entwined, Yi Ning’s heart was as cold as sunken ice. He had wanted to end it all cleanly and straightforwardly, yet had never expected that his disciple not only wanted his childhood friend, but wanted his Shizun too. His disciple shattered his spiritual core and laid down a hex, throwing him into the main hall to await nightfall to consummate their relationship. Just as he had fallen into despair and wanted to end his life, he unexpectedly discovered a strange book. The book detailed his life, and the him it described, from beginning to end, was nothing more than a tool used to satisfy his disciple’s desire to conquer, lowly and wretched as a cultivation furnace. Yi Ning’s head spun, and his heart gave birth to a strong hatred. He dragged his wrecked body to the back of the mountain and released the Demon Venerable Yan Xuan, who he had personally sealed nine years ago. In return for undoing the seal, Yan Xuan would aid him in escaping. After the man heard the reason why, he leaned against the wall and smiled with a hint of mockery. Yi Ning had thought he was going to ridicule him for having deserved it, being betrayed by an ingrate who bit the hand that fed him. Yet, what he never expected was for Yan Xuan to reach out and tug him into his embrace, and the words that left his mouth were instead: “You fool, I’ll help you take revenge.” After this, he killed all those who wronged him, and cradled him close to his heart. He wants to shatter your cultivation and mangle your limbs, to turn you into a bird in a cage, free for him to humiliate. Yet, with this lowly and dirty heart of mine, I want to pull you from the swamp and cut down the heavens for you.

## My Thoughts on After Being Betrayed, The Immortal Master Ran Away With The Demon Venerable This title alone grabbed my attention, and after diving into the user reviews, I was eager to form my own opinion. The range of scores is certainly… something, but I'm always up for a web novel that sparks debate. So, here's my take on "After Being Betrayed, The Immortal Master Ran Away With The Demon Venerable." ### First Impressions Okay, so there seems to be a bit of a divide here. Some readers jumped in and were immediately turned off by what they perceived as plot holes or inconsistencies in the early chapters, particularly around the circumstances of the MC's betrayal. Others urged readers to push past that initial hurdle, promising a rewarding story on the other side. I was definitely intrigued by the xianxia, yaoi, and romance blend. ### What Works Well Many readers who stuck with the story praised the character development, particularly the growth of the main characters and their relationship. The Demon Venerable seems to be a fan favorite, with several people highlighting his loyalty and protective nature. The focus on the MC's personal journey after being betrayed, learning to trust and love again, also resonated with many. There's a definite emphasis on the "fluff" and heartwarming moments, with some describing it as a "light read" perfect for those looking for a less heavy xianxia experience. ### Areas of Concern The biggest sticking point, as I gathered from the reviews, is the writing itself. Some found the initial plot setup difficult to swallow, citing logical inconsistencies and potential issues with translation quality. The pacing also seems to be a point of contention, with some feeling it rushes into the romance too quickly. One reviewer felt the MC was too emotional and petty, which didn’t align with their expectations of an immortal master. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, there are a few potential spoilers floating around, mainly concerning the circumstances of the betrayal and the Demon Venerable's actions. It seems the initial poisoning incident is viewed as a plot hole by some, but others argue it's explained later in the story. There are also some details about an illusion formation and alternate world scenarios. So proceed with caution if you want to go in completely blind. ### Final Verdict "After Being Betrayed, The Immortal Master Ran Away With The Demon Venerable" sounds like a novel that's either going to be right up your alley, or completely miss the mark. If you're looking for a light xianxia romance with a focus on character development and don't mind some potential inconsistencies in the early plot, it might be worth a shot. However, if you're a stickler for flawless logic and intricate world-building, this might not be the novel for you. Personally, I'm intrigued enough to give it a try, keeping in mind that it seems best enjoyed with a "read with your heart, not your brain" approach.
