1056 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

# Chapter 1056: Feeling Old and Useless In the cryptic and terrifying Blood Sovereign Hall, the Altar of Saints stands, an object whose aura even transcending heavenly tribulations cannot resist. Sitting upon its throne grants one unparalleled power. As soon as Fei Yao spoke, Yu Ling Zi and the others became acutely aware of a grave danger. Without hesitation, they launched their fiercest attacks on the altar. However, regardless of their methods of assault, none managed to land on the dais, all repelled by an invisible barrier. The blood-red throne emitted an eerie glow, enveloping all tribulation-transcending cultivators within the Blood Sovereign Hall, significantly enhancing their powers. Mo Yin and Meng Dao also basked in this amplification, their auras momentarily breaking through the pinnacle of early tribulation-transcending levels, seemingly ascending to another realm. “It’s time to prove your loyalty!” Mo Yin declared. “Those belonging to the Blood Sovereign Hall, seize that great door for me!” “Yes, sir!” Under the blessing of the altar, ordinary Blood Sovereign Hall cultivators gained the strength reaching the pinnacle of early tribulation transference, rivaling even the vice hall leaders, except they couldn’t utilize the sovereign’s might. This sudden turn of events caught the allied forces completely off guard. “Is this possible?” Ling Hua exclaimed, slicing through several tribulation-transcending opponents with one strike. “An instant collective upgrade?” “Did you think you’re the only one with trump cards?” The initial advantage in numbers of higher-level cultivators shifted entirely. Facing opponents of equal numbers, the Nine Provinces Alliance no longer held any superiority. “Protect yourselves,” Yu Ling Zi directed her gaze toward the two vice hall leaders guarding the altar, speaking to her senior sister, “Ling Hua, let’s take care of those two.” “Onward!” The two formidable warriors charged headfirst into the Blood Sovereign Hall’s forces. “I never thought there’d come a day when I’d feel left behind,” Fei Yao remarked, watching her two junior sisters with a wry smile. “Feeling old now…” “Yu Ling Zi and the rest might not be able to hold the Blood Sovereign Hall,” Tang Xin pondered. “Our forthright strength is visible, yet who knows how many cards the Blood Sovereign Hall holds?” “With the altar deployed, they may not have many more tricks,” Fei Yao replied. “What do you have in mind?” “I want to go in once more,” her senior sister proposed. “Seal the access of Unit One, ensuring it can’t assist the Blood Sovereign Hall.” “Alright, I’ll go with you!” The two broke away from the battle, sprinting through the golden door into the restricted area’s interior. Unit One, “Standard Entity Version,” seemed to have anticipated their arrival, waiting quietly there. “Highest authority, remove all permissions of the restricted area’s manager, Unit One. Forbid its activities,” Tang Xin commanded directly. Unit One remained silent. Around them, no devices showed any reaction. The senior sister scrutinized it for a moment, suddenly dawning on her. “You’ve detached from the restricted area’s devices?” As long as Unit One’s body remained connected to the restricted zone, it shouldn’t escape jurisdiction. On the contrary, without the main body’s limitations, it would be unaffected. The creators likely wouldn’t design such an obvious flaw, suggesting that Unit One had obtained this ability from elsewhere. “Could you please leave?” Unit One spoke up. “I have no intention of causing harm.” “But you intend to help the Blood Sovereign Hall,” Tang Xin rebutted. Unit One sighed, its superior entity aura unrestrained, compelling the senior sister to step back several paces. “Tang Xin, you are a remarkable—” Bang! Before the entity could finish, Fei Yao thrust her hand through its chest. “As an intelligent being carrying out its mission,” Fei Yao whispered coolly, “you talked too much.” Fei Yao withdrew her hand, ignoring the bloodstains, and turned to face the entities and spirit servants converging from every direction. During Tang Xin’s infiltration of the central area, this being seemed to have unearthed formidable combat tools. Having severed from the main body of the restricted zone, Unit One directly altered its permissions, allowing the spirit servants and entities to attack her, the bearer of the highest authority. “How can we eliminate Unit One?” Fei Yao questioned. “Destroy everything we see?” “Be cautious,” Tang Xin nodded. “She's the one who understands this restricted area best and could employ unknown methods.” Although Fei Yao could not partake in the battle on par with mid-stage tribulation-transcenders outside, she easily handled the high-level entities before her. Entities at the peak of integration and even tribulation-transcending periods barely withstood more than three moves from her. “Speaking of which,” Small Broom whispered into Tang Xin’s ear, “should we consider the possibility of Fei Yao betraying us?” “We’ve considered it long ago,” the senior sister responded while swatting away an advancing spirit servant. “There’s no issue. The alliance’s methods in this aspect are equally matched to those of the Blood Sovereign Hall.” The Nine Provinces Alliance has always been diligent in counter-intelligence, showing no signs of infiltration since the war began. Being fooled once is an accident, twice is incompetence, but being fooled repeatedly is merely inviting disaster. With Fei Yao’s assistance, they quickly dismantled Unit One’s offensive, leaving behind a heap of debris. “Tang Xin,” yet still, Unit One’s voice echoed in the space, “you have a connection with this place, so I prefer not to harm you.” “But if you insist on this path, I must continue using my means to protect my will.” “Enough talk,” Tang Xin shouted, “bring it on! Can you defeat the former Blood Sovereign Hall’s Seventh Hall Master beside me?” Boom! A stream of light struck, bloodthirsty forces of the Blood Sovereign Hall rushing at them. “Watch out for yourself!” Fei Yao exclaimed, turning to engage the Blood Sovereign Hall's fighters. “...” Was their reinforcement arriving suspiciously on time? “I’ve sensed where she’s hidden the core!” Small Broom alerted. “Alright then,” Tang Xin wielded the broom, channeling her powers to the utmost, “let’s finish her!” Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Dozens of entities fired beams, thwarting the senior sister’s advance, but all were deflected by the spinning broom. “Go, Small Broom, use Broom Boomerang!” Tang Xin cried, flinging the broom with force. “Could you fight in less embarrassing ways...” the maid grumbled, reluctantly following the broom, targeting the foes, and swiftly eliminating most with a spin. These entities and spirit servants, generally not of high rank, posed little challenge even without Fei Yao’s aid. With obstacles cleared, an entity composed of half-human, half-machine sitting serenely in the back nodded towards them. From her chest emanated a beautiful jade green gemstone, radiating gorgeous light. “I’ve always admired your carefree, optimistic nature.” Unit One slowly stood, seizing two swords nearby, immense energy surging from her semi-mechanical form. “If only you could live in a world filled with hope…”
