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

The Holy Dynasty, 1072!

That year, the world was in turmoil, and the heavens and earth seemed to lose their color.

The wind howled wildly like a madman, its sound seemingly tearing the sky apart.

The dark clouds rolled and surged like an ink-black sea, layer upon layer, as if they were about to swallow the entire world.

It seemed that the vast天地 (heaven and earth) were trembling with fear at the impending, massive change.

In the instant when lightning and thunder intertwined, it was as if, in a daze, one could clearly hear the low and mournful howl emanating from heaven and earth.

This year was also the year that the Holy Dynasty faced the most perilous crisis.

For many years, numerous forces led by the Void God Cult have relentlessly suppressed the Holy Dynasty.

However, Luo Tianyang has yet to show himself, which undoubtedly makes these forces even more emboldened under the shadow of the Void God Sect, and they become increasingly unrestrained and arrogant, doing whatever they want.

Even those sects that initially maintained a neutral stance were mostly unable to resist the temptation and joined the Void God Cult.

They were all driven by greed, hoping to seize the opportunity to get a share of the spoils at this critical moment when the Holy Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.

Even if they only gain a tiny, insignificant profit, it's enough to make them eat to their hearts' content, their mouths greasy with oil.

Now, under the guidance and drive of the Void God Cult, these forces are like a thick, leaden, dark cloud, pressing menacingly over the Holy Dynasty.

"Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it," the heavy sense of oppression was almost suffocating.

Inside the magnificent and resplendent Palace of the Golden Throne!

"Father! The Holy Dynasty is now in dire straits. We beg you to appear and save our dynasty from this crisis."

Led by Luo An, a group of eleven princes and princesses knelt down together in the solemn and magnificent hall.

What is truly astonishing is that even Luo Shisi, who was beheaded by Luo Shisan eight years ago, is now kneeling there completely unharmed and intact.

Now, numerous forces, along with the mysterious and unpredictable Void God Cult, have gathered in the skies above the Holy Dynasty, like a pack of vicious wolves eyeing them menacingly.

With the meager remaining strength of the Holy Dynasty, it was simply impossible to resist this overwhelming and ferocious enemy.

The only way to break this predicament is for Luo Tianyang to personally intervene, turn the tide, and save this crumbling dynasty.

Throughout these long years, these princes remained completely unaware of the unfathomable conspiracy that Luo Tianyang harbored.

Luo Tianyang has not shown his face for a long time, and even those who once shared a bed with him and were very close to him have no idea where he is.

Nowadays, rumors are circulating that Luo Tianyang may have suffered a qi deviation during cultivation and quietly perished in some unknown, secluded place.

However, the mysterious connection in their bloodline clearly told them that Luo Tianyang had not perished, but his whereabouts were unknown, as if he had vanished from the world into thin air.

Directly in front of the twelve people, the incomparably noble dragon throne, which symbolized supreme authority, was now completely empty, without a single person in sight.

Luo An's words, filled with urgency and worry, echoed softly in the empty and silent hall.

Like plunging into a bottomless abyss, there was no response for a long time, only a deathly silence that made one's heart tighten.

"Father, could it really be like what's being said outside...?"

Someone among them, in a trembling and barely audible voice, timidly muttered this sentence in a low voice.

"Shut up! In this solemn, sacred, and inviolable palace, do not utter such treasonous words."

The moment these words were spoken, they were met with Luo An's cold rebuke, filled with anger and authority. His voice echoed throughout the hall, shaking everyone to their core.

"Since Father has not shown himself yet, we must not sit here and wait to die."

Luo Jing's face was cold, and he spoke resolutely.

As he spoke, he resolutely rose from the hall, accompanied by Luo Shisi.

Eight years ago, he was brought back to life by his father's mysterious and unpredictable methods, and Luo Shisan also miraculously came back to life.

During these long eight years, Luo Shisi issued various cruel and ruthless orders to kill Luo Shisan more than once.

But every single person she sent out died at Luo Shisan's hands without exception.

Now, Luo Shisan has returned to the Holy Dynasty once again. However, unlike last time when she only had Luo Qingchuan by her side, this time many forces have come together, their momentum overwhelming.

However, even so, Luo Shisi did not show the slightest sign of panic.

Since her resurrection was achieved through Luo Tianyang's immense power, Luo Tianyang would certainly not stand idly by in the face of this crisis.

Outside, the sounds of battle cries and the clanging of weapons created a chaotic cacophony, like a raging torrent crashing against the shore, deafening and chilling.

The forces brought by the Void God Cult are engaged in a thrilling and extremely brutal battle with the Divine Martial Army of the Holy Dynasty.

In an instant, corpses littered the field, piled up haphazardly, resembling small hills.

The ground was littered with severed limbs and blood, which flowed freely and formed shocking rivers of blood.

The scene was incredibly bloody, and the nauseating stench was so strong it seemed to reach the heavens, mercilessly tainting this vast world with an aura of death and despair.

Behind the battlefield, Luo Shisan, dressed in jet-black attire, stood aloof and cold in the air.

The three-foot-long sword in her hand gleamed with a chilling light, and the killing intent emanating from her was like an invisible and violent storm raging wildly.

However, she did not participate in this bloody and cruel battle. She simply stood there quietly, like a god of death from the deepest hell, exuding a fearsome aura.

Behind him, Gu Yaohua, dressed in a Taoist robe, slowly approached. She looked at Luo Shisan with deep admiration and said, "Shisan! You truly haven't disappointed your aunt. Now that the Holy Dynasty is doomed, Luo Tianyang is doomed."

Luo Shisan's eyes remained calm, like a bottomless pool. He did not answer Gu Yaohua's question, but simply stared silently at the tragic battlefield in front of him.

Upon hearing these words, Luo Qingchuan, standing behind Gu Yaohua, instantly blazed with ambition. His breathing quickened slightly, and his inner desire was almost palpable.

He still clearly remembered the tempting condition that Gu Yaohua had promised him, which was what he had always dreamed of.

"Master!"

Luo Qingchuan couldn't help but call out softly, his voice filled with barely concealed urgency.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yaohua turned her head slightly to look at him, her expression filled with indifference, as if it could freeze the surrounding air instantly.

"Kiyokawa! Are you in a hurry?"

Gu Yaohua seemed to have read his mind, and spoke in a flat tone, her voice devoid of any warmth.

"No!"

Luo Qingchuan quickly lowered his head, failing to grasp the implied meaning.

"Unfortunately! This future dynasty has nothing to do with you."

Gu Yaohua looked down at him with an arrogant and disdainful attitude, and said this with utter contempt.

These words were like a devastating depth charge to Luo Qingchuan.

With a deafening roar, his mind was instantly thrown into chaos, leaving him frozen in place like a clay sculpture.

Luo Qingchuan struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror, as if he had witnessed the most absurd scene in the world.

His throat moved with difficulty as he murmured, "Master...you must be joking with your disciple."

His voice trembled like an autumn leaf shivering in the wind, carrying that last sliver of faint hope, as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.

Gu Yaohua's lips curled into a cold, piercing sneer, a smile full of endless mockery and contempt.

Immediately afterwards, she demonstrated to Luo Qingchuan through her actions that she was not joking.

Suddenly, her aura surged, erupting violently like a raging, devastating wave.

That overwhelming power instantly froze Luo Qingchuan in place, as if he had been subjected to the most severe immobilization spell.

Luo Qingchuan truly felt that under the suppression of this terrifying aura, he was as if he were being clamped by iron pincers and could not move at all. Even his own cultivation was completely sealed off.

His mind was instantly in turmoil, and he was extremely flustered.

His eyes were filled with anger and despair as he stared intently at Gu Yaohua, roaring hoarsely, "Master, you lied to me!"

"From beginning to end, you have only been a pawn in my hands. How can you claim to have deceived me?"

Gu Yaohua said with a mocking expression, her tone cold and ruthless.

She then stopped looking at Luo Qingchuan's eyes, which were filled with a mixture of anger and disappointment.

"Nan'er! Kill him now!"

Gu Yaohua looked at Gu Nan and shouted sternly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchuan immediately turned his gaze to Gu Nan, and a surge of despair welled up in his heart like a raging tide.

Gu Nan glanced at Gu Yaohua, then at Luo Qingchuan, her face full of conflict, her brows furrowed tightly, as if she were struggling with something.

Are you going to disobey me?

Seeing that he was hesitant to make a move, Gu Yaohua's voice grew colder and colder, as if it could freeze the surrounding air.

"Mother! Nan'er doesn't want to become like Thirteenth Sister, doesn't want to kill the person she loves with her own hands, and doesn't want to use the person she loves to improve her cultivation. Please, Mother, spare Brother Qingchuan."

Gu Nan immediately knelt in mid-air, his voice low and full of pleading.

"So! You haven't cultivated the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus Record of Annihilation and Passion that I gave you."

Gu Yaohua's eyes suddenly turned extremely dangerous, like a ferocious beast about to devour its prey.

"Nan'er doesn't want to be without love in her heart. What use is that extraordinary cultivation if there is no love in your heart?"

Gu Nan pleaded urgently, her eyes reddening and tears welling up.

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

"Do you know that your so-called Brother Qingchuan is nothing but a tool to use you and to help him fulfill his wish of establishing a dynasty through me? And now you dare to talk about love with me? How utterly ridiculous."

Gu Yaohua sneered repeatedly, her laughter filled with disdain and mockery.

"No, Nan'er and Brother Qingchuan are definitely truly in love!"

Gu Nan shook her head desperately, shouting hysterically, her voice almost shattered.

"Since that's the case, why don't you let your brother Qingchuan tell you himself?"

Gu Yaohua then turned her gaze to Luo Qingchuan, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Looking at Gu Nan, who was crying her eyes out, Luo Qingchuan felt a sudden tremor in his heart, as if a heavy hammer had struck him hard.

Now that things have come to this, what good will it do to keep it a secret any longer?

"Nan'er, my relationship with you is indeed based on my desire to use Master's power to help me ascend to the throne of the new emperor of this dynasty."

Luo Qingchuan smiled bitterly, his words filled with helplessness and sorrow.

"But I am truly sincere with you, and I have not deceived you in any other way."

Luo Qingchuan then added, his tone sincere.

When he first became Gu Yaohua's disciple, he had no idea that she was a member of the Void God Sect, and that his relationship with Gu Nan was merely that of ordinary fellow disciples.

Later, Gu Nan gradually developed feelings for him and always clung to him like glue. In Gu Yaohua's eyes, all of this became evidence of their love.

Later, the truth about the Void God Cult was gradually revealed to him.

Driven by his own ambition, Luo Qingchuan agreed and became an inside man. To solidify the relationship, he accepted Gu Nan's affections.

Luo Qingchuan never expected that Gu Yaohua would not only break her promise, but also be so cold-hearted.

In previous years, Gu Yaohua secretly ordered Gu Nan to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus Record of Annihilation and Debauchery.

And he, this pawn, ultimately became the final tool for Gu Nan's success.

"Brother Qingchuan, Nan'er doesn't blame you."

Gu Nan cried and shook her head desperately as she spoke.

Then she looked at Gu Yaohua, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded, "Mother! Please let Qingchuan go! Nan'er only wants to leave this place with Qingchuan."

"Master! I don't want this dynasty anymore. Please grant my wish to be with Nan'er."

Luo Qingchuan also pleaded in a low voice at this moment.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that no matter how great his ambition was, without heart and without love, even if he reached the peak and looked down on the world, what good would it do?

Gu Yaohua's gaze grew increasingly cold as she looked at the two of them.

"How dare you! I gave you your life. Since you can't bring yourself to do it, then I'll do it for you myself."

Immediately, Gu Yaohua flicked out a wisp of energy from her fingertip, instantly controlling Gu Nan and causing her to involuntarily pick up the long sword at her waist and slowly approach Luo Qingchuan.

"No! No!"

Gu Nan screamed loudly, her eyes filled with fear.

However, under Gu Yaohua's powerful suppression at the peak of the Mahayana stage, she had no room to resist.

*Pfft!*

That sharp sword pierced through Luo Qingchuan's chest in an instant!

Seeing this scene, Gu Nan felt as if her heart had died in an instant.

"Nan'er..."

Blood gushed from the corner of Luo Qingchuan's mouth. His face was as pale as paper as he looked at Gu Nan, a tender look in his eyes.

"Nan'er! Do you know? This Nine Revolutions Black Lotus Record of Annihilation and Destruction was originally something I wanted to cultivate, but unfortunately you came too late. By then, I had no love left in my heart."

Gu Yaohua said with an extremely cold expression.

Upon hearing this!

Gu Nan's heart died completely!

At that moment, she finally understood!

All these years, her mother's love for her has been feigned.

She was just like Luo Shisan, and also like Qingchuan, but they were all just pawns in Gu Yaohua's hands.

At that moment, Gu Nan suddenly drew her longsword, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Luo Qingchuan. Seeing this, Gu Nan felt utterly hopeless and closed her eyes in despair.

A crisp "clang" rang out!

Just as the sword was about to be thrust out!

But it was steadily blocked by another sword, wielded by Luo Shisan.

"Thirteen! Do you also think your aunt did something wrong?"

Gu Yaohua frowned instantly, her face filled with astonishment and disbelief.

This unexpected turn of events caught not only Gu Yaohua off guard, but also Luo Qingchuan, Gu Nan, and even the real Luo Shisan.

Xin Yuanluo Shisan's expression remained calm as he addressed her by name, saying indifferently, "Gu Yaohua! What she said is true. You are far too cold-hearted, as if your heart has long since vanished without a trace."

Upon hearing such blasphemous words, Gu Yaohua's face instantly darkened.

"Thirteen, what's your opinion?"

Gu Yaohua was filled with confusion, not understanding why Luo Shisan had suddenly acted this way, and felt a sense of panic that was about to spiral out of control.

"I'm determined to tear open your chest with my own hands and see if you have any sincerity at all."

Luo Shisan smiled slightly, but that smile carried a chilling aura.

In an instant! A sinister and chilling killing intent spread between the two.

At this moment, the real Luo Shisan finally understood who the murder target Luo Shisan of Xinyuan was referring to was!
