The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 440 Marriage Contract, Rival in Love [Part Six]

[5. Twelve years]

And so, following Feng Ling's advice, the junior sister escaped the White Lotus Sect's dark dungeon and cave palace—a place of trouble—with a group of evil spirit masters.

In the following half month, the White Lotus Sect leader, who had stubbornly resisted, was wiped out by the righteous alliance at the White Lotus Sect headquarters. More than ten underground strongholds that trained evil spirit masters were also uprooted, leaving behind widespread devastation.

In particular, many little girls are still alive in the dungeons of more than ten White Lotus Sect strongholds.

The arrival of the righteous alliance was like a ray of light in the darkness, shining on their tender faces and causing their last psychological defenses to crumble. They threw down their weapons and cried for help, embracing each other and sobbing uncontrollably.

"What are you all standing there for? These little devils will cause endless trouble in the future. Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

The cries attracted a high-ranking member of the righteous alliance. Upon discovering their presence, he immediately sentenced them to death with a ferocious expression.

"..." Just like that, the crying stopped abruptly. Countless innocent little girls were branded as little witches and executed on the spot, their eyes wide open in death.

Crimson blood splattered on their faces. The executioners coldly licked their faces with their tongues before hurrying off to search for and exterminate the remaining members of the White Lotus Cult, leaving behind a trail of blood that permeated the entire dungeon.

As for the junior sister, she was lucky enough to escape the dungeon, but during her escape, she witnessed the various brutal acts of righteous people.

This had a huge impact on her young mind. Fortunately, Feng Ling patiently guided her and prevented her heart from being filled with psychological trauma.

At the same time, Feng Ling also encouraged her to be decisive in dealing with enemies, saying, "I will not attack unless attacked; if attacked, I will kill!"
This has nothing to do with good or evil!

Whether they are upright individuals or members of evil cults, as long as they dare to harbor ulterior motives and take action against me, I will kill them with a single sword strike, and I will not feel guilty or burdened afterward.

It was a dark and windy night.

Inside a branch stronghold of an evil organization.

"Hey, Junior Sister, I hope you can live a good life. Even if the ideas I instilled in you aren't entirely correct, it's still better than you dying because of your kindness!"

Feng Ling used his divine sense to perceive the peaceful face of the sleeping little girl, and his heart softened.

No wonder he went to such lengths!

Theoretically speaking, when the power of the Demon Jade is exhausted, Feng Ling will leave this dream space-time. He must make thorough preparations before then.

"crunch..."

Suddenly, the door to the cubicle opened gently, and a burly man in his forties, carrying a quilt, tiptoed over the little girl.

"Achoo!" He immediately tightened his collar and carefully retreated into the cubicle.

There, a group of evil spirits lay sleeping haphazardly, some snoring loudly, others muttering incoherently.

"Hey, you old codger, you won't rest even in death. How am I supposed to bear this?"

Witnessing this scene, Feng Ling felt a pang of loss, lamenting that time is like a knife, making it difficult to recognize the faces of old friends.

This burly evil spirit master was none other than the leader of the evil spirit masters who descended upon the dungeon that day, and was also Blackwater Butcher in his prime!
After observing for half a month, Feng Ling discovered that Hei Shui Tu did not seem to be lying. He really did have a disciple who died in the chaos of the Sulfur Fire Sect, and he secretly treated Hei Yan as a disciple, taking good care of him.

Why secretly?

As a minor leader on the periphery of the evil organization, he dared not reveal his true feelings, lest his enemies seize upon this as leverage to cause trouble.

However, it is worth mentioning that:
The reason why Blackwater Butcher's current cultivation level is only at the sixth level is because he forcibly used a forbidden technique in order to survive the chaos of the Sulfurfire Sect, which resulted in a backlash and caused him to suffer from hidden illnesses.

Otherwise, why would he have gone to such lengths?

……

Time flies.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two years, in order to repair his hidden injuries and restore his cultivation as soon as possible, Blackwater Butcher reluctantly participated in the evil spirit organization's plot to slaughter the sect.

The Slaughtering Clan Plan was devised by the high-ranking members of the evil spirit organization to rapidly acquire ghost spirits and resources by persecuting small and medium-sized forces.

The plan first involves a multi-dimensional strength assessment of all medium and small forces belonging to the same region, using a breakdown of tasks and regions.

Then, following the principle of proximity, tasks are assigned periodically to evil spirit master teams hiding near small and medium-sized forces, ordering them to complete the harvest.

Now, in the eastern part of the Ghost Spirit Continent, there is a small to medium-sized force called the Black Water Gate.

Its leader, Blackwater Butcher, has a fiery temper and has made countless enemies since founding the Blackwater Sect two years ago.

Furthermore, the disciples of the Blackwater Gate often clashed with surrounding forces over minor frictions or verbal disputes, eventually leading to a life-or-death struggle.

However, what is surprising is:
The friendly neighboring forces were destroyed one after another; on the contrary, the unpopular Blackwater Gate remained standing.

As a result, ten years later, no one dared to establish a new faction around Blackwater Gate, except for the two old forces, the Withered Leaf Sect and the Mighty Cloud Sect, who were still negotiating with it.

……

Time flies like an arrow; the past twelfth year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Years ago, the little girl who escaped from the White Lotus Demon Sect's dungeon with a group of evil spirit masters has grown into a beautiful and graceful young woman after experiencing the trials and tribulations of life.

After a fresh rain in the empty mountains, she is like a plum blossom standing proudly on a branch, spreading her fragrance all by herself.

Feng Ling had silently protected her for twelve years, but his divine power was exhausted, and he could no longer interfere with her fate. He could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

"Black Smoke, I am already beyond saving after being devoured by the Yin Sha Blood Rain. All the brothers have been summoned to join the new hall. You should hurry up and go too, lest you delay and displease the Red Lotus Demonic Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the woman gave an irrelevant answer, staring at the other party and saying softly, "Sect Master, do you still stand by your promise to give me the antidote for the Heavenly Silkworm Heart-Controlling Gu?"

"Hey, sorry! To tell you the truth, the Heavenly Silkworm Mind Control Gu was actually purchased by the White Lotus Sect Leader from an elder in the Red Lotus Demon Sect at a high price through connections made with the evil spirit organization. How could a remnant of the White Lotus Sect like me have the antidote for such a poisonous Gu... The reason I said that back then was more to keep you calm and not want to lose you as a sharp weapon!"

"Heh, take care, Sect Master, the black smoke has dissipated!"

With a loud crash, a summons was smashed into the rocks, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Blackwater Butcher hurriedly said, "Wait! Have you thought this through? Once you defect, the evil organization will relentlessly hunt you down. Moreover, it is said that the Red Lotus Demonic Sect can use the Heavenly Silkworm Mind Control Gu to make you nowhere to hide! Why not join the Red Lotus Demonic Sect first? Firstly, it will make it easier to find the antidote for the antigen, and secondly, it will make it easier for you to find out your background!"

Upon hearing the other party mention his background, the black smoke paused and hesitated for a long time before grunting "hmm," turning back to the rock and pulling out the deformed summons.

Before leaving, she gave Blackwater Butcher a deep look, then bowed with a complex expression.

Feng Ling watched all this silently and sighed inwardly: Regardless of good or evil, Hei Shui Tu had after all shown kindness to Senior Sister. It was probably the reason why she would be hostile to Ling Wei Yun's clone in the future!
However, it was several months ago.

At the entrance of the Blackwater Gate's main hall, the scarred-faced Xu Laosan strode back, his face full of indignation.

"Sect Leader, our luck hasn't been good this time. The organization is getting impatient and wants us to wipe out the Withered Leaf Sect and the Mighty Cloud Sect as soon as possible to complete the final harvest in this area! Otherwise, they will stop supplying us with the antidote for the Heavenly Silkworm Mind Control Gu!"

As he spoke, he tossed the two harvest tokens in his hand toward the burly man at the head of the hall.

The burly man stood up, took the token, glanced at it to confirm its authenticity, and decisively said, "In that case, we can't delay any longer! Third brother, go and inform the brothers to start the operation."

Immediately after watching the other party leave, Blackwater Butcher told the woman beside him, "Black Smoke, go and remind them that no matter what the outcome, they must be prepared to run away and evacuate this area at any time!"

The Blackwater Gate was founded twelve years ago, and a group of evil spirit masters have been lying in wait for twelve years, with the aim of gradually devouring and massacring the small and medium-sized forces in the vicinity.

Originally, ten years ago, the Blackwater Sect should have received the first order to harvest the Weiyun Sect from the evil spirit master organization, but Feng Ling secretly destroyed it with the help of his junior sister.

And coincidentally, Ling Weiyun broke through to the eighth level at the age of seventy, becoming a high-level ghost spirit master, which made him famous and attracted the attention of nearby forces, disrupting the evil spirit master organization's original plan to slaughter the sect.

Therefore, Blackwater Sect was able to legitimately delay the massacre of the sect, giving Weiyun Sect, and also themselves, a chance to catch their breath.

Furthermore, due to the control of the Heavenly Silkworm Mind-Controlling Gu, no low-level evil spirit master dares to disobey the orders of the evil spirit organization unless they are tired of living.

This is because the antidote developed by the evil organization can delay the onset of the Heavenly Silkworm Heart-Controlling Gu, and long-term, timely use can ensure one's safety.

However, this antidote only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Rather than a cure, it seems more like a deliberately devised method to control people's minds.

Only the antidote to the antigen, which the Crimson Lotus Cult claims to possess, could possibly be the real antidote! Unfortunately, the antidote is like a ghost; many evil spirits have heard of it, but no one has ever seen it…

"Okay, I'll go and relay the message right away!" Upon hearing this, Black Smoke nodded in agreement and gladly accepted the order to leave.

Over the years, Black Smoke has been operating in the shadows, never participating in the planning of any conspiracy.

Blackwater Butcher naturally knew that Black Smoke did not want to harm people on her own initiative, and she was very picky about who she killed, only killings that met her own set of standards.

Therefore, as long as it doesn't touch on her bottom line or core interests, Blackwater Tu doesn't want to force her.

So much so that the part where Pan Yuanshi's heart was later dug out was actually done by Xu Laosan, who had come up with the plan, while Hei Yan was just impersonating Pan Yuanshi.

Moreover, throughout the entire harvesting operation, Xu Laosan felt that not only did the black smoke contribute little, but it also constantly hindered and contradicted him.

……

"Ah, these past twelve years have been full of ups and downs. What was bound to happen has happened, and what shouldn't have happened has all been prevented by chance, through my own hand!"

Through the perspective of the black smoke, Feng Ling relives the massacre of the Weiyun Sect. He sighs and connects the many causes and effects that preceded and follow.

……

Baojianfeng comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.

She reached the peak of the sixth level of cultivation, and with the summons, she joined the sect. The leader of the Red Lotus Sect personally bestowed upon her the name Leng Ning Shuang and accepted her as a disciple, making her one of the candidates for the Holy Maiden.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
