Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 66 The Transformation Elixir, Fate Broken!
Instead of answering Lan Yin'er's question, Xu Ru asked:
"You're not human, are you?"

Based on their previous encounters, Xu Ru could tell that Lan Yin'er's strength was definitely at the Nascent Soul level.

However, even though the opponent was clearly at a disadvantage, he was unwilling to reveal his true form, which made Xu Ru suspicious of Lan Yin'er's identity.

A cultivator's appearance can reveal a lot, such as parts of their personality and their identity.

Although the Dharma forms of human cultivators vary, they are ultimately manifestations of their original forms. As the saying goes, all methods are based on the same principle, and the Dharma forms of demonic beasts are no different.

Now that Lan Yin'er dares not reveal her true form, Xu Ru strongly suspects that Lan Yin'er is a transformed demon beast.

In fact, Xu Ru was half right. Lan Yin'er was indeed not human, but she was not a transformed demon beast either, but a transformed elixir!

It is extremely rare for a spiritual herb to develop sentience, let alone for it to take human form.

Therefore, Xu Ru did not immediately consider Lan Yin'er as a potential candidate for a transformation elixir.

"You transformed demon beast, if you don't want to be enemies with my Joyful Union Sect, then get out of my way!"

Jiang Mengzhu knew that Lan Yin'er hadn't gone all out, so she brought up the name of the Hehuan Sect to intimidate her, hoping that she would be more sensible.

Hand over Tang Shang honestly, and let your fellow disciples kill him.

"Fellow Daoists, I also do not wish to be enemies with the Joyful Union Sect, but Tang Shang is my son!"

Lan Yin'er naturally knew the power of these top sects in the Hehuan Sect, after all, she had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Beast Soul Sect, one of the top sects.

She had survived countless near-death experiences to escape from the powerful Beast Soul Sect.

It was during her time of hardship that she met Tang Shang's father and subsequently gave birth to Tang Shang.

The injuries inflicted on her by the powerful Beast Soul Sect members were too severe. Even after two or three decades of recuperation, her strength has only recovered to 20%.

If Tang Shang weren't Lan Yin'er's son, she wouldn't have made an enemy of the Hehuan Sect, one of the top sects.

Seeing that Lan Yin'er was ungrateful, Jiang Mengzhu swung her spiritual weapon, the Phoenix Nirvana Spear. With a phoenix cry, the weapon unleashed a raging phoenix flame that attacked Lan Yin'er.

Lan Yin'er took out a fourth-grade top-quality spirit sword and slashed out a moon wheel to defend against Jiang Mengzhu's attack.

Just then, Xu Ru's purple-gold dragon whip transformed into a phantom dragon and pounced on Lan Yin'er, attempting to ambush her.

Lan Yin'er formed a hand seal, and a vine appeared out of thin air, entangled with the purple-gold dragon whip.

The two sides fought back and forth for over two or three hundred rounds.

A somewhat disheveled Lan Yin'er shouted at Xu Ru and Jiang Mengzhu:
"Although I don't know what grudge my son has with your Hehuan Sect, you have already destroyed the Tang family."

Now that only Xiao Shang remains of the Tang family, how about we wipe the slate clean of all past grievances?

Lan Yin'er knew she couldn't fight any longer; if she continued, she would have no choice but to manifest her Dharma form.

However, once he reveals his true form, his identity as a elixir of transformation will be exposed.

Once the identity of the Transformation Elixir is exposed, there will be only one fate: to be hunted down by all cultivators of both the righteous and demonic paths, as well as the demon race.

Therefore, Lan Yin'er wanted to resolve the grievances with the Hehuan Sect without revealing her identity.

Xu Ru and Jiang Mengzhu were unwilling to accept this. In fact, the moment they suspected that Lan Yin'er was a demon beast, they had already used the communication jade talisman to call for help.

If they can just hold off Lan Yin'er, someone will come and kill her.

……

Under the protection of several half-step Nascent Soul elders, Cao Meng and An Yingji chased for most of the day before finally arriving at the battlefield.

The group did not approach the battlefield, but instead observed from a distance. After all, a battle at the Nascent Soul level was beyond their ability to participate; all they could do was watch the show.

Watching Lan Yin'er fight Xu Ru and Jiang Mengzhu while protecting Tang Shang on the battlefield, Cao Meng couldn't help but sigh:
"Is this the Dog of Destiny? It's really hard to kill!"

Cao Meng now regrets it; he feels he should have dragged the female demon Duanmu Fei and the great vixen Xia Yulan over from the beginning.

If you bring these two over, I guarantee you'll reduce Tang Shang to ashes.

The female demon and the great fairy should have received his telepathic message to call for reinforcements by now. I wonder when they will arrive!

At this critical moment, the system came online and issued a notification:
"Ding, a friendly reminder: It is recommended that the host use the previously obtained reward item—the Absolute Misfortune Talisman—to deal with the chosen one, the native Tang Shang!"

The system was speechless. At such a critical moment, Cao Meng actually expected to use local natives to deal with the native chosen ones. It was truly ridiculous!

To deal with the local inhabitants, you can't rely on the inhabitants themselves; you have to rely on someone else!

"Absolutely doomed talisman!"

Following the system's prompt, Cao Meng immediately took out the Absolute Misfortune Talisman and unleashed it at Tang Shang. The Absolute Misfortune Talisman then transformed into a black light and fled towards him.

Even Lan Yin'er, a Nascent Soul level being, didn't have time to react.

"puff!"

As the Absolute Misfortune Talisman struck Tang Shang, he spat out his essence blood, his breath became weak and feeble, and he lost half of his life in an instant!
What Tang Shang spat out was not only his essence and blood, but also his destiny as the chosen one.

Now, this chosen one has had his power broken by the Absolute Misfortune Talisman, and his luck is gradually fading away.

From the moment he was entangled by misfortune, his time had begun to count down. When his luck ran out, that would be the time of his demise.

Seeing that Tang Shang had been inexplicably and severely injured, Lan Yin'er no longer concealed her injuries.

She manifested her Dharma form, which was a blue silver grass several hundred feet tall, no, it was a mutated blue silver grass—the Blue Silver Emperor!

After Lan Yin'er revealed her Dharma form, her strength soared. Using the power of her Dharma form, she released two vine whips to restrain Xu Ru and Jiang Mengzhu. Then, she fiercely questioned Cao Meng in the distance:

"What did you do to my son, Tang Shang?"

Lan Yin'er had noticed Cao Meng's group before, but she thought they were just ants and didn't pay them much attention.

But she never expected that this carelessness of hers would lead to some ants severely injuring her son, Tang Shang.

"You old grass spirit, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Upon learning that Lan Yin'er was Tang Shang's mother, Cao Meng was filled with murderous intent.

In his past life, Tang Shang killed him. Now that he has been reborn, he must exterminate Tang Shang's entire family.

With murderous intent rising, Cao Meng immediately took out the trump card given to him by his female demon master, and unleashed a mid-grade fifth-level attack talisman.

This level 5 mid-grade attack talisman is the Three Thousand Flames Talisman.

As soon as the Three Thousand Flames Talisman was unleashed, it transformed into a sky full of divine fire that attacked Lan Yin'er.

Lan Yin'er sensed the danger and immediately tried to hide.

As fate would have it, no matter how she tried to dodge, every single divine fire seemed to be positioned to target her.

The Three Thousand Flame Talisman lacks the ability to locate and lock onto targets, but her eldest son, Tang Shang, in her arms became the focal point of attack under the influence of the Absolute Misfortune Talisman!

Lan Yin'er, holding Tang Shang, the unlucky fellow and the focus of all fire, thought it was absolutely impossible to escape the divine flames that filled the sky!
