After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

This earth-shattering battle was like a bolt of lightning, instantly shattering the tranquility of the cultivation world.

However, the battle ended just as quickly, as if everything vanished in an instant, leaving only silence.

However, this brief battle caused a huge uproar in the cultivation world.

The cultivators were shocked by the intensity of the battle and discussed whether some old monster in the Mahayana realm had come out of the mountains. Otherwise, who in the entire cultivation world could sever Li Jianxin's arm?

Inside the Hidden Moon Sword Sect.

Li Jianxin sat on the palace with a gloomy expression, his face twitching slightly as if he were enduring some kind of pain.

Three months have passed since the battle with Shen Shuchou.

After three months of seclusion to heal his injuries, Li Jianxin has basically recovered completely.

But the severed arm could not be reattached no matter what methods Li Jianxin used, and he was unable to restore it.

Even though she used expensive celestial-grade pills to try to regenerate her severed arm, her flesh and blood could not break free of the cocoon.

At the site of her severed arm, a strange aura of blood swirled around her like a demon, constantly eroding her body.

Every moment, the blood seemed to come alive, greedily devouring her skin and bone marrow.

Intense pain surged like a tidal wave, tormenting her body and mind.

The pain was like thousands of tiny needles piercing her body at the same time, leaving Li Jianxin with no way to escape.

But the eerie blood energy showed no mercy, relentlessly eroding her as if it wanted to devour her completely.

Each time, Li Jianxin needed to expend a lot of true energy to slightly stop the pain from intensifying.

Moreover, these days, Li Jianxin couldn't help but think of that little girl in red.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

A fleeting glance in the past, now a reunion, the floodgates of memory slowly open.

That face, like the dissipation of mist, gradually became clear.

Although the girl's features are not the same as before, time has not left too many marks on her.

Now Li Jianxin is absolutely certain that the little girl in red was the one who was abducted by that blood shadow a hundred years ago, and she is Fang Jingyun's daughter.

However, what surprised Li Jianxin the most was that the girl in red seemed to have become the spirit of that sword.

This appearance immediately made Li Jianxin feel deeply uneasy.

Especially the terrifying power it exuded; a mere mortal could severely injure him.

If she falls into the hands of the Demon Blade Master, wouldn't it be incredibly easy for him to kill me?

"No, this absolutely cannot happen."

A hint of panic appeared on Li Jianxin's face.

Mortals fear death, but cultivators fear it even more, especially a high-ranking and powerful cultivator like her who cherishes her life even more.

"Master."

At that moment, a voice reached Li Jianxin's ears.

She looked up abruptly and saw Ye Xie's figure appear below the palace at some unknown time.

"Who let you in?"

Upon seeing Ye Xie, Li Jianxin felt inexplicably irritated.

Ye Xie, who was reprimanded by Li Jianxin, was not angry at all; instead, he sneered inwardly.

She walked in so openly that Li Jianxin didn't even notice.

This would explain why Li Jianxin's mind has been somewhat disordered these past few days.

The aura of the Blood Nether Pearl she left in his body had been lurking and dormant for a long time, and in recent months, it had slowly begun to reveal a secret from the depths of Li Jianxin's heart.

Although it was still very blurry, Ye Xie was not in a hurry. There was still a long time ahead, and one day Li Jianxin would slowly fall down.

"The elders sent their disciples to check on their master's condition."

Ye Xie lowered his head and said.

"Go back and tell them that I am fine now, but I need to go into seclusion to recuperate in the coming days."

Li Jianxin said coldly.

Ye Xie did not leave, but continued, "Recently, there have been some Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivators coming to challenge Master. The elders hope that Master can step in and resolve this."

As soon as Ye Xie finished speaking, he felt a powerful chill rush towards him.

"court death."

Li Jianxin stood up from his chair, glaring angrily.

Since she took the seat of the leader of the Hidden Moon Sword Sect, no one has ever dared to challenge her.

Now that news of her serious injury has spread, people have immediately come to her door threatening to challenge her.

This behavior directly angered Li Jianxin, but he eventually sat back down.

With her arm now severed and her sword broken, she can only unleash about 60% of her peak fighting power.

Going out to fight means that the undefeated record can no longer be maintained.

Although it is unknown who the challengers are, they all aim to take advantage of the situation and seize the title of the number one cultivator in the Transcending Tribulation Realm.

"I will make a decision on this matter myself."

Li Jianxin suppressed his anger and said.

Ye Xie's lips curled into a cold smile, but he didn't say anything before turning and leaving.

In an instant, only Li Jianxin remained in the empty palace.

"Fang Jingyun, I can kill you once, and I can also kill your offspring once."

Li Jianxin's eyes flashed with coldness as he murmured to himself.

Given her current condition, she still needs to recover. She remembers the demonic blade and the little girl Li Jianxin who was with Shen Shuchou.

She could easily use her current position to get the Hidden Moon Sword Sect to find the whereabouts of that sword, but Li Jianxin didn't want to do that.

Ever since witnessing the power of the Demon Blade, a hint of greed has risen in his heart; such is human nature, and Li Jianxin is no exception.

If the sect were to search for it, the demonic blade might not necessarily end up in her hands, and the secrets from a hundred years ago might even be exposed.

Li Jianxin decided to take some time to recuperate before personally taking action.

As for Ye Xie, who left, she was even less in a hurry. Although she had been searching for the whereabouts of the Demon Blade Listening to Spring Rain these days, she had found nothing.

Now that Li Jianxin is gradually under her control, even if she finds Ting Chunyu, she will eventually fall into Ye Xie's hands.

The master and apprentice each had their own agendas, but their ultimate goal remained the same.

......

......

Time flies, and the days pass like an arrow.

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ghost Cry Cliff, a desolate place perpetually shrouded in darkness.

The pale moonlight, like the gaze of a ghost, pierced through the thick darkness and cast its light upon this desolate land.

Legend has it that this place was once an ancient battlefield where countless cultivators were buried.

The wind whistled in my ears, as if restless souls were weeping softly.

The air was thick with the stench of decay and death, sending chills down one's spine.

The cliff face is steep and the rocks are jagged, resembling the face of a demon, ferocious and twisted.

In this silent darkness, eerie cries could be heard from time to time.

It was as if the wronged souls of those cultivators were telling their stories of pain and resentment.

These sounds were so mournful and chilling that they sent shivers down one's spine and filled one with dread.

This place is a forbidden area for cultivators. If you accidentally step into this place, you must leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will be bewitched by the spirits of the dead here.

At this moment, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the moon was faintly visible, as if it were being hidden.

The pale moonlight pierced through the clouds and spilled onto the cliff, illuminating a dark and gloomy scene.

Under this eerie light, the figures of two girls appeared.

Under the moonlight, the faces of the two girls gradually became clear.

Their beauty is like two dazzling stars in the night sky, shining brightly together, making it difficult to distinguish who is better.

The moonlight, like a light veil, fell upon their skin, outlining their soft contours.

Their eyes were clear and bright, as serene as autumn water, revealing a profound and captivating charm.

Her hair swayed gently in the wind, as if dancing with the moonlight.

One of the girls had a face as delicate as a flower petal, with a faint smile on her slightly upturned lips.

Her beautiful eyes, like bright gemstones, shone with a gentle light.

The other girl exuded a chilling aura, with a hint of indifference in her expression.

Their beauty is unique and complements each other, like two exquisite paintings.

"Pei Rou, it's been a long time."

One of the girls gazed silently at the aloof girl opposite her, who seemed to blend into the darkness.

How did you find me?

Pei Rou looked at the girl opposite her and said in a calm and indifferent voice.

Although her appearance had changed, Pei Rou still recognized her; it was Wen Yanyu from back then.

"I've been looking for you for seven years."

Wen Yanyu smiled slightly, seemingly having guessed that Pei Rou would ask such a question.

"Has it already been seven years?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Rou lowered her gaze and said.

"To be precise, ten years have passed."

Wen Yanyu smiled gently.

"Do you want revenge?"

Wen Yanyu then skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.

These words were like a sharp sword piercing Pei Rou's heart.

She suddenly looked up, her icy gaze appearing exceptionally chilling in the dim moonlight.

"How could I not want to?"

Pei Rou's voice was low and indifferent.

A mixture of hatred and murderous intent lingered in his words, like a chilling ghostly wind blowing across the bottom of the cliff.

She has not seen her brother since Li Qingyue took her away seven years ago.

Although Li Qingyue told her that her brother would most likely never come back, Pei Rou still refused to believe it.

It wasn't until later, when the Spring Rain Listening Blade returned to her side on its own, that she was told of Shen Shuchou's death.

This news was like a sharp sword, mercilessly piercing her heart and leaving her breathless.

At that moment, Pei Rou's mind went blank, unable to accept this cruel reality.

Shen Shuchou's departure caused her world to collapse instantly, and everything became gloomy and hopeless.

A wave of sadness washed over her, and she clutched her chest tightly, trying to calm the pain in her heart, but it was all in vain.

But when Hongyu later told her that she still had a chance to avenge her brother, a new belief in life emerged in Pei Rou's gloomy world: to kill Li Jianxin and Ye Xie.

However, the condition was that Pei Rou needed to leave this place with Ting Chunyu, and Pei Rou naturally agreed to this choice without hesitation.

After saying goodbye to Li Qingyue, she followed Ting Chunyu to a place called Ghost Cry Cliff.

Here, Pei Rou needs to receive power from Ting Chunyu every day.

Pei Rou, on the other hand, would fall into a state of chaotic consciousness, completely unaware of the flow of time in the outside world, and would only wake up occasionally.

"I can help you; I also want to kill her."

Wen Yanyu's smile faded, and her tone turned cold.
