After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 289

Inside the lord’s mansion, an awe-inspiring silence prevailed.

Everyone glared angrily, except for the city lord Meng Lang, who cowered in the corner like a ball while shivering.

“Clashes among the younger generation with casualties and injuries are inevitable. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s your Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion and Buddha Temple whose disciples were inferior in skill!” Chen Sheng snorted coldly.

“Indeed, it’s said that Jiang Chen’s massacre was triggered by your sect’s chosen ones who ambushed him first. Those who attacked brought it upon themselves,” Su E nodded in agreement without stopping.

“This statement is correct!”

“That makes sense!”

The two Old Ancestors from the Myriad Dao Demon Sect nodded incessantly.

“Humph. That Jiang Chen is a Human Sacred Body, so how can ordinary people compare to him? His combat strength is so great because he relies on the power of the sacred body,” the Seven Luminaries Old Ancestor retorted coldly.

“Since you know that our young master is a Human Sacred Body, why would you still foolishly attempt to kill him?” Chen Sheng countered.

“The Human Sacred Body is born for the human race. In my opinion, not only should you not be enemies with our young master, but you should also be venerating him!”

“Amitabha, donor Chen’s words are not quite right,” the Buddha Old Ancestor said with one hand raised in a salute.

“As long as the human race does not perish, the sacred body will not cease! It’s true that there can only be one Human Sacred Body at a time in the world, but if the person with the sacred body falls, another will emerge.”

“Hehe,” upon hearing this, Su E sneered repeatedly.

“It seems to me that you’re not so much interested in punishing the wicked and removing evil but rather worried that this Human Sacred Body Jiang Chen will grow strong and become a threat to the righteous path?”

“People of the demonic path are not worthy of having a Human Sacred Body!” the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor blurted out.

This statement was tantamount to admitting what Su E had said.

“The Jiang family will not let you off!” Chen Sheng changed his tone, issuing a direct threat.

“The Jiang family is not invincible in this world,” the Buddha Old Ancestor retorted.

A conversation that doesn’t flow needs no extra words.

Realizing that the Buddha Old Ancestor and the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor were determined to act against Jiang Chen, Chen Sheng was already brimming with murderous intent.

“Humph. A mere Divine Passage realm junior dares to harbor killing intent against me? Kneel down!” The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes, his voice like a thunderous chant piercing directly into Chen Sheng’s mind.

Upon hearing this, a severe ringing erupted in Chen Sheng’s head, and his knees buckled uncontrollably.

He bit the tip of his tongue just in time to barely suppress the urge to kneel.

Seeing this, the two Old Ancestors from the Myriad Dao Demon Sect immediately became furious.

They were brothers born of the same mother as Chen Sheng; how could they sit by and watch an outsider bully their youngest brother?

“Seeking death!!”

The Myriad Dao Old Ancestor roared, his cultivation aura surged like a mountainous wave, rolling forth.

The second ancestor of the Myriad Dao was also ready to take action, with a strangely shaped ring-shaped spiritual weapon appearing in his hand.

Seeing signs of another outbreak of a major battle, Meng Lang, who was cowering in the corner, shuddered and once again urged:

“Everyone, please calm down!”

“If you start fighting, not only will this city be destroyed in an instant, but the surrounding area for tens or even hundreds of li will be affected!”

“In my opinion, this matter may not be as it seems.”

“After all, there were more than a dozen prodigies who entered the secret realm this time. Even if Jiang Chen is strong, he couldn’t have killed them all, right?”

“There must be some exaggeration!”

As he finished speaking and saw that they remained unmoved, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, “If you really start fighting and destroy this Azure Cloud City! Then I will have no choice but to report this matter to the Imperial Pavilion!”

The Imperial Pavilion, as the Imperial Dynasty’s surveillance and suppression agency in the Central Domain, usually does not concern itself with worldly affairs, but if something like a massacre, which disregards the Imperial Dynasty, really happens, they will not turn a blind eye.

Su E led the myriad ghosts to Cold Realm City, daring only to let the ghosts capture Jiang Chen but not to kill wantonly, precisely because of this concern.

It was also due to this concern that the bigwigs who usually don’t see eye to eye have been able to coexist peacefully within this small city lord’s mansion for many days.

In the past, whenever Meng Lang uttered this sentence, the big shots would ponder it in their hearts.

But overcome with anger, the bigwigs could no longer care about that.

The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor and the Buddha Old Ancestor knew that to act against Jiang Chen. They must first defeat people like Su E.

Su E and the others also understood that a great battle was inevitable to protect Jiang Chen at this time.

At worst, they would pay some price afterward.

Conflicts among cultivators are unavoidable, and they believe that as long as the price is sufficient, the Imperial Dynasty would turn a blind eye.

“Are you threatening me?”

Su E’s eyes turned cold, and with a slap through the air, he struck Meng Lang until stars appeared in his eyes.

“How dare you use the Imperial Pavilion to pressure me?”

“Such audacity!”

The two Old Ancestors from the Myriad Dao Demon Sect simultaneously snorted coldly, causing Meng Lang to spit out blood.

Although the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor and the Buddha Old Ancestor did not speak, their suddenly cold gazes were enough to make Meng Lang feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

At this moment, Meng Lang was utterly desperate.

He had wanted to escape without caring about the consequences, but suddenly, he saw a figure in red appear at the doorway.

“Everyone, please calm down! Have you forgotten, this person is Jiang Chen’s master! Perhaps she can give you an explanation!” Meng Lang came up with the idea in desperation.

Upon hearing this, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor and the Buddha Old Ancestor both cast unfriendly glances.

The owner of the figure was none other than Xiao Hongyi.

Since arriving in Azure Cloud City, Xiao Hongyi had not participated in the disputes among the bigwigs, simply staring blankly in the direction of the Mysterious Ice Realm’s exit every day.

Her arrival this time was also due to the news of “Jiang Chen slaughtering numerous prodigies.”

To this, Xiao Hongyi felt it was only natural.

She understood Jiang Chen.

She knew that even if Jiang Chen wanted to be a villain in this life, he would not have gone on such a killing spree unless it was unavoidable.

And she was very aware that Nangong Jiuxi was also in that secret realm.

Although she didn’t know exactly what had happened, she guessed that all of this must be related to Nangong Jiuxi.

After all, such things had happened too often in the cycles of nine reincarnations.

Her purpose for coming here was only one.

Whoever wanted to harm Jiang Chen would have to step over her dead body!

She was very clear about this.

Even though she had gone to the Red Flame Sea of Fire and, with the help of the charred phoenix tree, had made progress in her cultivation, reaching the late stage of the Divine Passage realm, such cultivation was still no match for Nirvana realm cultivators.

But even so, she still came.

Because she was Jiang Chen’s master!

In the cycles of nine reincarnations, she was not by Jiang Chen side every time he suffered.

But in this life, she would accompany Jiang Chen in life and in death!

Xiao Hongyi stepped in from outside.

She looked around coldly, and finally, her gaze settled on the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor and the Buddha Old Ancestor.

“No one can touch My disciple!” Her voice was icy cold, and as she spoke, the phoenix fire burst forth from within her body.

“The Innate Phoenix Body…”

The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor narrowed his eyes, a hint of caution flashing within.

Although the Buddha Old Ancestor did not speak, the exposed skin was already covered with a golden glow.

Such was the might of the phoenix fire.

Even Nirvana realm cultivators did not want to face its power directly!

But in front of the Seven Luminaries Old Ancestor and the Buddha Old Ancestor, Xiao Hongyi’s cultivation was ultimately too weak.

“Well then, if the disciple is not taught properly, it is the teacher’s fault!” the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor said solemnly.

“Considering that you are the direct descendant of Jiuyan Old Ancestor, I may spare Jiang Chen’s life if you commit suicide!”

“Commit suicide?”

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Xiao Hongyi scoffed.

She was well aware.

If the Seven Luminaries Old Ancestor and Buddha Old Ancestor were determined to kill Jiang Chen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although Jiang Chen could counter them by contacting the Jiang family, doing so would push the Jiang family onto the path of destruction.

Whether Jiang Chen died or the Jiang family perished, neither outcome was what Xiao Hongyi wanted to see.

She thought that if her death could truly save Jiang Chen, it might not be a bad solution.

But she did not believe that the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor would keep his promise!

Although he was a righteous Old Ancestor, how could he give up such a perfect opportunity to kill Jiang Chen just because she committed suicide?

Even if the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor spared Jiang Chen this time, what about next time? And the time after that?

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Xiao Hongyi flatly refused.

The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor did not reply but instead prepared to take action.

But before he could move, a loud “boom” sounded.

A jade coffin broke through the defensive array of Azure Cloud City, smashed through the roof of the city lord’s mansion, and landed precisely on the face of the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor.

Instantly, the Seven Luminaries Old Ancestor’s cheek caved in, and he was sent flying several zhang, breaking through several walls before barely stopping.

At the same time, an etheral figure appeared in the city lord’s hall.

“Asking my Xiao family’s direct daughter to commit suicide? Are you two old immortals worthy?!”
