Chapter 960 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

Looking up, the sky was a vast expanse of white. Looking down, underfoot was a land so pure and white that no other color could be discerned. The whole space, the entire world, seemed to possess only one color: white. However, with Tang Xin's arrival, this harmonious uniformity was instantly shattered. "What is this place?" Senior Sister looked around curiously, surveying the area. She couldn't feel any movement of energy around her, as if she was in a void, yet more stable and safe than a void could ever be. "Upon you," suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out in the surroundings, "there is a very dangerous aura." "Is that so?" Tang Xin replied. "Is that the reason you do not wish to meet me?" The voice fell silent for a moment. Then, dots of white light floated up from the ground, forming the image of a woman in front of her. "That's only one reason," the woman began. "Secondly, there's an aura of hope about you, which intrigues yet frightens us." "Sorry, I don't quite understand your riddles," Tang Xin scratched her head. "Danger, hope, can you really smell that?" "To be precise, it's sensed... can't you also sense things like fate, heaven's secrets, and catastrophes?" The other explained. "I thought that was just scaring myself after overeating..." In a few words, both sides had formed opinions of each other. The Light Clan Woman thought Senior Sister was unreliable. Senior Sister thought the Light Clan had "holes in their brains." "No wonder you are a rebellious one, with ways of thinking and behaving beyond what ordinary people can predict," the woman awkwardly changed the subject. "May I ask, Divine Envoy, what brings you to our Light Clan?" "I need the Heart of Light." Tang Xin stated bluntly. Upon hearing this, the color drained from the woman's face. "The Heart of Light is the source of the Light Clan's power; there's never been a precedent for sharing or lending it to others." "Lend it or don't, that's up to you," Tang Xin folded her arms. "Didn't you just say I can sense destiny? Let me tell you clearly, if you don't lend it, and the world comes to an end, the responsibility will be on you." Senior Sister did not disclose the matter of the "demonic blade" in its entirety. Firstly, she wasn't certain whether this race was trustworthy; secondly, she was unsure of the true nature of that dark countenance. Until the whole story was clear, it was naturally better to have fewer people know about it. "This..." Tang Xin was merely bluffing, but the not-so-bright Light Clan messenger dared not ignore her words completely. After hesitating for a moment, she replied with a frown. "This matter must be discussed with the elders before a decision can be made." "Let's talk, by all means," Senior Sister shrugged her shoulders. "But is this it? Just throw me into this godforsaken place? Won't you invite me to your home for a visit?" "This is our home," the woman replied. "Keeping you here is to protect you." "What do you mean?" Senior Sister showed a puzzled expression. The woman waved her hand, and the white light of the world gradually receded, revealing the true appearance of the outside world. It was a crystalline space, made up of multi-colored crystals forming various buildings, glittering and exuding unparalleled beauty. The numerous structures formed a city, with a towering high tower in the center, especially eye-catching. "That is the Heart of Light," the woman pointed to the dazzling light atop the tower. "For humans, the power of the Heart of Light is too strong, which is why we have you stay within the protective barrier to prevent harm." Tang Xin looked around and realized they were indeed within a thin layer of a colorful light membrane, and what she had seen before was a modified view. "So, you look down on people? I've refined my body with the yin-yang divine thunder; what energy can't I endure?" She swaggered out of the protective membrane. And then... "Whoa--" A massive, unimaginably fierce energy rushed into her body. Senior Sister felt like a balloon being blown up bigger and bigger, about to burst. At the critical moment, the Heaven Extinguishing Broom spontaneously emerged from her storage bracelet, hooked the collar of its master, and dragged her back into the protective membrane. Tang Xin immediately circulated her cultivation technique, refining the excess energy in her body. "Indeed, a rebellious one," the woman commented from the side. "To emerge unscathed like that, a normal person stepping out of the protective area would've exploded..." The energy absorbed in just a few moments outside was equivalent to the years of hard work of a regular cultivator. Even with Senior Sister's physique, she nearly didn't make it. Turns out, the "Heart of Light" was a kind of super lethal weapon, huh? If taken outside for a simple exposure, no matter the army, wouldn't they all drop dead? "With such powerful energy, how come you all are fine?" Tang Xin took a deep breath, expelling the remaining energy from her body, and asked. "We have lived symbiotically with the Heart of Light for countless years," the other replied. "We have long been accustomed to its radiation, converting it into our own source of strength." Senior Sister looked the woman up and down. It was then she realized she couldn't see through her. Even when attempting to probe with her divine consciousness, all she could detect was a human-sized ball of light. Being able to counter her observation means, this person, at the least, possessed a transcending tribulation realm. In other words, if the Light Clan wanted to kill her, it probably wouldn't be difficult. "Don't worry," the woman seemed to guess Senior Sister's thoughts, and said lightly, "Our Light Clan isn't evil. Otherwise, knowing you're dangerous, we wouldn't have let you in. Please wait for a moment, I'll report to the elders." Saying this, the woman transformed into a beam of light, flying towards the direction of the high tower. "To think such an extraordinary race exists in the world..." Senior Sister had encountered many strange races, such as the Elemental Spirit Clan, the Celestial Light Clan, etc., but the Light Clan, in terms of power level and form of existence, was even more astonishing. "Hey, broom, can you absorb that thing?" Tang Xin asked, looking towards the Heart of Light on the tower. The Heaven Extinguishing Broom shook itself. "You've absorbed both business fire and heavenly thunder, so why not that?" Senior Sister scratched her head, puzzled. The broom twirled in the air, then pointed at the ground. "This item doesn't originate from the Nine States Mainland and is bound by special laws? Even a divine artifact can't deal with it?" "Correct," a young girl with twin ponytails, looking around twelve or thirteen, squeezed into the protective membrane, hands on her hips, telling her, "The Light Clan's territory is an eighth-level space. Apart from lacking a will of heaven, it's no less than the Nine States or the Void Realm. Also, your broom seems very interesting; lend it to me for a bit!"
