1101 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

Title: I Became the Villainess and Am Entangled by Beautiful Girls - Chapter 1101: Sharing Our Burden Tang Xin walked alone into the domain of the world-destroying power, leaving Xiao Zhou and the System Lady outside. The two had no way of approaching the cursed blade and could only watch helplessly. When Tang Xin reached out and touched the "black hole," an energy barrier descended, and they could see nothing. "As a divine weapon," Xiao Zhou clenched her fist, "it's frustrating not being able to help my master when she needs it most... It appears I am still not strong enough." However, strength was not really the issue; even someone as powerful as the System Lady couldn't provide much assistance. Without Tang Xin, the two of them could do nothing but gaze at each other. "Perhaps we should find something to do," Xiao Zhou suggested. "Are we really just going to sit here?" "What do you have in mind?" asked the System Lady. "I don't know..." Xiao Zhou felt restless, simply waiting around without being able to help, eager to find a way to vent her frustration. "There's not much we can do right now," the System Lady explained. "If she fails the trial of the cursed blade, all may be lost." "True to an extent..." Xiao Zhou said, scratching her head in thought, and suddenly an idea came to her. "Why don't we check the situation outside? Speaking of, since Tang Xin and I entered the Void Realm, how has the war between the Nine Provinces Alliance and the Blood Sovereign Palace developed? Do you have the capability to find that out?" Xiao Zhou knew a little about the System's powers. The white-haired witch had grown to a level threatening even the Creator God over the years. Even after having been reduced to a partial form, and being heavily weakened, the entity known as the "System" remained an immensely powerful existence. "To be frank, your birth was actually an accident," the System Lady said as she projected a light screen. "In the original destiny, there was no artifact as unique as you. You were a product of the influence of both me and Tang Xin." "First you're my mom, now you want to be my dad too?" Xiao Zhou quipped. The System Lady chuckled, disregarding the comment, and they both turned their attention to the images on the screen. ... In the Void: Tang Xin wielded her sword, cleaving through the world's restricted zone, making the Blood Sovereign Palace's army feel as if the end was near. "Retreat!" The vice sovereigns scrambled out from within the restricted zone, hastily commanding their troops to withdraw. Meanwhile, the Nine Provinces Alliance also dared not pursue further. The combat limit in the middle stage of the tribulation temporarily disappeared, and a host of familiar yet unfamiliar figures appeared before everyone, much like the "Xuanling Patriarch." In terms of high-level combat strength, the Nine Provinces Alliance was finally no longer deficient. However, it wasn't just them; their enemies had also elevated their level. "Three middle-stage tribulation vice sovereigns represent only a fraction of the Blood Sovereign Palace's power," a returning mid-stage tribulation senior explained. "Their main forces are divided into two types: those enhanced by external forces through the altar and those who joined them with significant innate strength." "We are now facing the threat of these two forces combined." With the emergence of the "sword," the void was no longer a contested zone, and for safety, the Nine Provinces Alliance's forces gradually retreated to the Nine Provinces Mainland. In the vast world upheld by the will of heaven, even middle-stage tribulation practitioners dared not act recklessly. Even if the Blood Sovereign Palace dared to wage an all-out attack, they had a good chance of defending successfully. However, the sudden return of so many mid-stage tribulation practicers also prompted a reaction from heaven's will. Boom! Boom! Boom! "It seems the Nine Provinces' heaven's will isn't very hospitable to us?" "Naturally, individuals of our cultivation level are seen as nuisances that heaven's will dreams of eliminating." "Heaven's will seems particularly irritable today..." Their return posed another problem: could the Alliance Leader maintain her position? Previously, Yu Ling Zi managed to hold onto the position because she was a practitioner in the early stage of overcoming the three calamities, nearly unrivaled at that level. But now with the emergence of mid-stage tribulation practitioners, the situation had drastically changed. Moreover, in terms of seniority, she was expected to address these returning figures as seniors, which made her position precarious. Certain individuals with an interest in this matter purposely approached the Alliance Leader with this issue, only to receive: "I'm already stressed enough! Do you really want me to give you two punches?" The Alliance Leader was in an exceptionally foul mood. The emergence of the sword and the enemy's subtle activities were only part of it. At the core of her concerns was the fact that her most dependable subordinates seemed drained and slumped, utterly lacking energy. "I want Tang Xin... I want my senior sister..." "What's the point in yelling?" Yu Ling Zi couldn’t help but smack each of them. "Didn't I ask you to go find her? Can’t you try a bit harder?" "Where should we search? The entire area is crawling with Blood Sovereign's people... By the way, is it true that Tang Xin is the anomalous cultivator code-named 'White-Haired Witch · Snow'? I still find it hard to believe." "She's already transformed right before your eyes, what is there to doubt?" Yu Ling Zi sighed. "Based on eyewitness descriptions, when you piece everything together, that's pretty much the conclusion." The young sect master was indeed surprised by this revelation. The girl she had watched grow up under her very nose concealed such a secret, it was hard to swallow... Even if Tang Xin had privately brought home an illegitimate child, the shock would be no less. Yet as surprising as it was, Yu Ling Zi felt greater concern for Tang Xin's current predicament. No matter how many secrets she held, or how formidable she became, there would inevitably be moments when she couldn't handle everything alone. Foolish girl, if only she had shared her burdens so everyone could face them together, after living together for so many years, were they really still worried about implicating each other? It wasn't like she had ever minded her large bust... Numerous individuals had already gone out searching for her, but given the vastness of the world, if one truly wished to hide, they were difficult to find. Accumulating concerns left Yu Ling Zi uninterested in matters such as whether she could maintain her position as Alliance Leader. While she was admonishing her depleted subordinates and contemplating ways to find Tang Xin, an unexpected turn of events presented itself. "My Lady Alliance Leader... We've been surrounded by demon cultivators!" Demon cultivators, surrounding? What was happening? Could someone really dare challenge the Nine Provinces Alliance on the mainland, especially after the return of mid-stage tribulation seniors? Yu Ling Zi quickly gathered people to investigate and discovered a large group of demon cultivators had indeed surrounded the Xuanling Sect, each exuding notable auras, with some even astonishing her. "You all..." The young sect master furrowed her brows, cautiously reacting. "We've come to help. In the face of greater events, both orthodox and unorthodox must join hands," a glowing, holy-looking girl appeared before her, smiling. "Besides, I know how to find Tang Xin..."
