Chapter 292 - After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Title: Ninth Reincarnation as a Villain, the Heroines Have All Turned Dark - Section 292 "Courting death!!" With an explosive shout, the aura of the Ten Thousand Dao Ancestor surged, rolling out like a crashing mountain or roaring sea. The Second Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Dao sect was equally ready to make a move, wielding a bizarrely shaped circular spiritual weapon. As battle threatened to erupt once more, Meng Lang, crouched in a corner, shuddered and tried to persuade them again: "Everyone, calm down!" "If you begin fighting, not only will this Icy Realm City be annihilated, but the surrounding tens, even hundreds of miles, will be affected!" "In my view, perhaps this situation might not be entirely true." "After all, there were dozens of elites who entered the mystical realm. No matter how strong Jiang Chen is, could he have possibly slaughtered them all?" "There might be some exaggeration!" Despite his words, seeing that the big shots remained unmoved, Meng Lang gritted his teeth and declared, "If you truly start a fight and destroy this Azure Luck City, I'll have no choice but to report this to the Imperial Pavilion!" The Imperial Pavilion, the empire's surveillance and repression institution in the central region, typically does not interfere in worldly matters. However, should a city massacre, an act of blatant disregard for the empire, occur, they would certainly not turn a blind eye. Su E led the Ghost Legion to Icy Realm City, only daring to capture Jiang Chen without causing mass slaughter due to this very concern. It was also this apprehension that kept the usually hostile big shots in the modest confines of the city lord's mansion, coexisting peacefully for days. In the past, whenever Meng Lang uttered this threat, it would weigh on the big shots' minds. But this time... Their anger was beyond control, and the big shots could no longer care about such things. The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor and the Buddha Elder knew that to target Jiang Chen, they must first defeat Su E and her group. Conversely, Su E and her group understood that avoiding a great battle to protect Jiang Chen was impossible. At the worst, they could pay a price post-battle. Conflict among cultivators is inevitable, and they believed that as long as the price was right, the empire would turn a blind eye. Thus... "You’re threatening me?" Su E’s eyes turned cold, and with a distant slap, she sent Meng Lang staggering, seeing stars. "You dare use the Imperial Pavilion to pressure me?" "Reckless fool!" The two Ancestors of the Ten Thousand Dao Demonic Sect simultaneously snorted coldly, their aura making Meng Lang cough up blood. Though the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor and the Buddha Elder remained silent, their icy stares made Meng Lang feel trapped in a chilling abyss. At this moment, Meng Lang was utterly despairing. He had thought of running away, but suddenly noticed a figure in red appearing at the doorway. "Delegates, calm down! Remember, this person is Jiang Chen's master! Let her give you an explanation!" Meng Lang said, struck with a sudden inspiration. These words caught the attention of the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor and the Buddha Elder, who cast unfriendly glances. The figure was indeed Xiaohong Yi. Since her arrival in Azure Cloud City, Xiaohong Yi never involved herself in the bickering among the big shots but spent her days staring blankly at the exit of the Mystical Ice Realm. This time too, she had come after hearing the news of "Jiang Chen slaying numerous prodigies." To her, this seemed entirely reasonable. She understood Jiang Chen. She knew that unless forced, even if Jiang Chen intended to be a villain in this lifetime, he wouldn't willingly go on a killing spree. Besides, she was aware that Nangong Jiu Xi was also in that mystical realm. Though unsure of what exactly happened, she surmised it had something to do with Nangong Jiu Xi. After all, in the nine cycles of reincarnation, such things had occurred too often. Her intent in coming was singular: anyone who wished to harm Jiang Chen would have to step over her dead body! She was well aware. While she had gone to the Searing Flame Sea and improved her cultivation through the charred phoenix tree to the late Divine Ability stage, she was still no match for a Nirvana Realm cultivator. Yet, she came nonetheless. Because she was Jiang Chen's mentor! In the cycles of nine reincarnations, each time Jiang Chen faced hardship, she wasn't there for him. But in this life, she would be there to live with Jiang Chen, to die with Jiang Chen! Xiaohong Yi walked in slowly from outside. Her cold eyes surveyed the surroundings, finally resting on the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor and the Buddha Elder. "My disciple is untouchable!" Her voice was icy, and as she spoke, the phoenix fire erupted from within her. "Innate Phoenix Body..." The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor squinted, a glint of caution in his eyes. The Buddha Elder remained silent, though the exposed skin on his body already shimmered with golden light. Such was the power of the phoenix fire! Even a Nirvana Realm cultivator was reluctant to confront its might directly! But! In front of the Seven Luminaries Ancestor and the Buddha Elder, Xiaohong Yi's cultivation was ultimately too weak! "So be it, a teacher fails if the student errs!" The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor spoke solemnly, "Considering you are a direct descendant of the Nine Reincarnations Ancestor, if you commit suicide, I will spare Jiang Chen!" "…" These words made Xiaohong Yi’s body tremble with some hesitation. She understood clearly. If the Seven Luminaries Ancestor and the Buddha Elder were adamant about killing Jiang Chen, the consequences would be disastrous. Though Jiang Chen could counteract by reaching out to the Jiang family, that would only pave the way for the Jiang family’s ruin. Neither Jiang Chen’s death nor the annihilation of the Jiang family was something Xiaohong Yi wanted. She thought. If her death could indeed save Jiang Chen, then it was a viable solution. And she harbored no doubts about the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor’s words. Since he had spoken, he would still have some face to save. "Fine, I'll..." After a moment of weighing in her mind, Xiaohong Yi made her decision. Yet, before she could finish speaking. A thunderous "boom" erupted! An ornate jade coffin shattered the protective array of Azure Cloud City, burst through the roof of the city lord's mansion, and landed squarely on the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor’s face! In an instant, it dented the elder’s cheek and sent him flying several yards, crashing through multiple walls before barely coming to a stop. Simultaneously, an ethereal figure appeared in the city lord's hall. “Asking my direct descendant of the Xiao clan to commit suicide? You two old fools, do you think you’re worthy?!” Chapter 290: Illusion? No, This is... In the aftermath of the jade coffin’s impact, the city lord's hall was left in shambles. The Nine Reincarnations Ancestor stood at the center, his white beard flowing, his figure seeming ethereal, with a pair of old eyes brimming with an unstoppable fury. Locking eyes with him, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor's expression was grave. He had long heard rumors of the Nine Reincarnations Ancestor’s unfathomable strength, possibly surpassing the Four Upper Realms. Initially, he was skeptical since any such powerful cultivator wouldn’t remain secluded in the central region. Yet now, the pain and swelling on his face forced him to believe! Regardless, he remained resolute in his fighting spirit! He was a sword cultivator at the late stage of Nirvana Realm. Despite the Nine Reincarnations Ancestor being a cultivator beyond the Four Upper Realms, he was merely in a soul state, greatly hindering his power! He could be challenged! "Sword, come!!" The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor's voice boomed boldly. With a sudden "zing," the Seven Luminosities Ancient Sword floating above Azure Cloud City quivered violently, trailing a stream of seven-colored light before rushing to him. But just as the ancient sword appeared in the hall, before the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor could grasp it— "You impetuous youngster!!" The Nine Reincarnations Ancestor shouted fiercely. His voice was akin to a deafening thunder, making one's ears ring. Upon hearing it— The Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor momentarily froze, and the Buddha Elder experienced intense tinnitus, while the city lord, Meng Lang, hiding in the corner, felt his blood churn instantly, spitting out a mouthful of foul blood! Seizing this moment, the Nine Reincarnations Ancestor advanced in an arrow-like dash, merely relying on his soul force to seize the Seven Luminosities Ancient Sword in his grasp! The ancient sword resisted fiercely. "Behave!" With a light flick of the Nine Reincarnations Ancestor’s fingers... The sword seemed to surrender, withdrawing its radiance and becoming remarkably submissive! Witnessing this scene, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor felt as though struck by lightning. How could the Sect’s holy treasure, the Seven Luminosities Ancient Sword, end up in the hands of an outsider? "Sword, come!!" In his urgency, the Seven Luminaries Sword Ancestor cried out once more.
