Chapter 151 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

In the previous life, no such thing had happened, just like the recent rumors circulating in the capital. Why did things turn out this way? She didn’t have time to think further, as the discovered lost demon had already made a move. A black figure swiftly transformed, taking on the appearance of Bai Lian! This was the typical trick of the lost demon; it could transform into the person deepest in the host's memories and evoke the host's emotions, trapping them in past memories and eventually draining them of all emotions. Clearly, nothing was more important to Xiao Wei Yang than Bai Lian. The moment she saw Bai Lian, she couldn't help but shout out. "Teacher!" Then, she showed a look of hatred, with fury raging in her eyes. "How dare you—how dare you take on the appearance of my teacher!" "How dare you take on his likeness in front of me!" She yelled, wanting to rush forward and fight the lost demon to the death. But she was no longer the empress who carried the fate of a nation and approached the level of the Qianyuan Realm as she was in her past life; she was now just an ordinary person without any weapons. If it weren't for Bai Lian's presence making the lost demon wary, Xiao Wei Yang would have had absolutely no way to resist it, despite her early-stage Tengyun strength. Obviously, this was the lost demon's goal in turning into Bai Lian—stirring up Xiao Wei Yang's rage, making her leave Bai Lian's protective range voluntarily. Before, it didn’t attack Xiao Wei Yang, only trying to generate more high-quality negative emotions from her. Now that its presence had been discovered, there was no need for it to hold back anymore. Although it was still a distance away from transforming into a vengeful demon, as long as it killed Xiao Wei Yang, absorbed the resentment she emitted before dying, and killed several more cultivators, it would be able to completely evolve into a vengeful demon. By then, it could hide among the crowds and be as free as a bird! How could Bai Lian not see this? She looked at Xiao Wei Yang, nearly losing her composure due to the lost demon's influence, and couldn't help but sigh softly. She had thought about how important the image of her former self would be in Xiao Wei Yang’s mind. But she hadn't thought it would be important enough for just a mere shadow to make Xiao Wei Yang lose her wits. But in her heart, was Xiao Wei Yang even that important? There were too many important people, to the point where their love seemed especially cheap. Bai Lian, oh Bai Lian, you're truly despicable. You must treat Wei Yang well in the future. She thought, wanting to stop Xiao Wei Yang, who was walking towards her death. But the next moment, she stopped in her tracks. She saw a golden-red light enveloping Xiao Wei Yang, who was charging toward the lost demon, and a faint phoenix shadow appearing on her back. Subsequently, a majestic surge of phoenix power gushed out from the center of her brow, transforming into a golden-red spear that thrust towards the lost demon. Seeing this scene, Bai Lian was somewhat taken aback. Phoenix True Intention? Isn’t that the power Xiao Wei Yang awakened when she was on the brink of death a few years later? Why does she have it now? Right, Phoenix True Intention comes from the soul and is the supreme power of the divine soul that only kings can possess. Although Xiao Wei Yang has been reborn, her soul remains the same, so it's entirely normal for her to possess Phoenix True Intention. She hadn’t noticed earlier, clearly because Xiao Wei Yang had deliberately concealed her own strength. This girl, how could she still play dumb in front of her? Bai Lian was helpless. She hadn't expected Xiao Wei Yang, who had always been so open with her, to have played her. Who knows if in the future, she might become like a certain Mu Xinghe, playing with her and making her count money... But upon seeing the Phoenix True Intention, she felt somewhat reassured. With Phoenix True Intention, even if she wasn’t around, the lost demon couldn’t truly harm Xiao Wei Yang. Probably it would just absorb Wei Yang's negative emotions until it triggers the Phoenix True Intention, then it would be incinerated by the True Fire of the Phoenix. In a sense, the lost demon was a parasite of the host, making it difficult for the host to notice and difficult to eliminate its influence. However, as the Phoenix True Intention implies, its greatest skill is self-destruction. Just like how the immune system of a person who has been infected with a virus then triggered a fever, the person's survival wasn’t important at all, but the virus would definitely perish. At that time, as a parasite, the lost demon wouldn’t stand a chance against the True Fire of the Phoenix. Moreover, Xiao Wei Yang’s act of playing dumb had actually succeeded. Apparently, even the lost demon hadn’t anticipated that Xiao Wei Yang, who appeared utterly powerless, would suddenly unleash such incredible power. Although Xiao Wei Yang had lost her composure, her combat instincts accumulated from her past life hadn’t disappeared. It was she who triggered the Phoenix True Intention when she charged toward the lost demon, so when the spear materialized, the lost demon, who had underestimated her, was already unable to react in time. She, transformed into the appearance of Bai Lian, raised her hand in panic, attempting to resist the thrust of the spear, but melted like butter under the extreme heat. The next moment, the spear pierced through "Bai Lian's" arm and pierced through her chest. "“Bai Lian” instantly displayed a pained expression on her face, screaming with bitterness. "Xiao Wei Yang! You've killed me again, you've killed me twice!" "I've devoted myself to teaching you, and this is how you repay me?!" The lost demon could feel the host’s memories, which is why it would become the person most deeply entrenched in the host's obsession in order to influence the host's emotions. Clearly, the lost demon only knew that Xiao Wei Yang had a teacher named Bai Lian and that Xiao Wei Yang had killed her teacher. However, knowing just this was sufficient. Xiao Wei Yang, who was previously unstoppable, suddenly paused. Her pupils contracted and she looked at "Bai Lian," who she had pierced in the chest, with a shaking hand grasping the spear. "I..." She wanted to explain, but she couldn't say a word. It was an indisputable fact that she had killed her teacher. What else could she explain? She was just a scum who betrayed her teacher and annihilated her ancestors! Seeing Xiao Wei Yang’s movement come to a halt, "Bai Lian" suddenly had a look of delight on her face. A glint of malice flashed in her eyes, as she prepared to absorb Xiao Wei Yang’s vitality and then escape while Xiao Wei Yang was engulfed in regret. Killing Xiao Wei Yang was out of the question now. Although she now possessed only the strength of early-stage Tengyun, as a parasite in the presence of the host who possessed the Phoenix True Intention, she was nothing more than a piece of butter. However, as she was about to make a move, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of impending death. Beside her, it seemed as if a white lotus had blossomed, enveloping her in a time of lingering dread. Her pupils contracted, and regardless of the pain in her chest, she retreated in an instant, her face showing fear as she looked at Bai Lian, who had appeared suddenly by Xiao Wei Yang's side. This woman—clearly she had only the strength of the early-stage Tengyun, so why did she make her feel as though death was imminent?! Bai Lian gently held Xiao Wei Yang’s wrist, and the Tai Xuan Heart Sutra revolved, intercepting the lost demon's attempt to absorb vitality. Then, she coldly looked at the lost demon, who had taken on her former appearance, with a storm brewing in her eyes. "Using my appearance and reputation to deceive my student." "You truly are... seeking death."
