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

In a brightly lit villa, Su Changkong, dressed in pajamas, sat with his legs crossed by the window on the second floor, leisurely sipping the fragrant tea in his hand.

He looked relaxed, as if he was immersed in the quiet and beautiful atmosphere of the night.

But in the next second, the exquisite teacup slipped from his hand without warning and crashed heavily to the ground with a "bang".

Instantly, the scalding hot tea splashed everywhere, forming an irregular water stain on the ground.

However, Su Changkong seemed completely absorbed in another world, oblivious to everything. He suddenly stood up and quickly opened the window.

In an instant! His expression changed drastically, and a chilling coldness instantly spread across his spine like a snake.

The bright moon that had been high above the sky outside the window had turned completely red, like a gigantic, eerie eyeball, radiating a chilling light.

The usually bustling and vibrant city of Suzhou was now completely shrouded in a thick, blood-red fog.

The air was filled with an uncomfortable feeling that was almost suffocating and brought one to the brink of death.

My heart was clenched tightly, as if an invisible, blood-red hand was mercilessly gripping it, causing unbearable pain and making it almost impossible to breathe.

Even as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was so overwhelmed that he could barely breathe.

Su Changkong trembled as he picked up his phone from the coffee table and dialed a number.

The moment the call connected, Su Changkong barely hesitated before blurting out, "Activate Level 1 alert in Su City and move all citizens to the security facility. Go now."

Su Man on the other end was completely taken aback by Su Changkong's startling words and was stunned for a moment, falling into an uneasy silence.

After a few seconds, Su Man cautiously asked, "What exactly happened that requires us to activate Level 1 alert?"

Su Changkong couldn't give Su Man a detailed explanation at this moment, but said urgently, "This is an order from your superiors. Do as I say. You must go in and not come out."

There was a slight silence on the other end, but then a voice said, "Understood."

After hanging up, Su Changkong remained vigilant and quickly dialed another number.

Within a minute, the call was answered, followed by a deep, authoritative voice saying, "What is it so late?"

Su Changkong took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, saying, "Something has happened in Su City. I have activated the highest level of alert."

boom!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud slamming of the table came from the other end of the phone, clearly indicating that the person was shocked by what he had just said.

The authoritative voice quickly became urgent, asking, "What exactly happened that warrants a Level 1 alert?"

Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, dangerous situations have sprung up everywhere.

However, the state of extreme tension, known as Level 1 alert, only occurred once.

That was thirty years ago, just ten years after the spiritual resurgence, during those difficult years.

At that time, people's general cultivation level was far from being improved, and they were completely powerless and at a disadvantage when facing those fierce demons.

At that time, there was a small city that had to activate the highest level of alert after being attacked by the overwhelming tide of monsters.

In the end, that city, which was once full of life and hope, tragically became a desolate ruin.

At that time, countless lives were lost; the number of dead and injured was unimaginable, a terrifyingly large number.

But now, the process of spiritual energy recovery is so rapid that several experts at the Nascent Soul Realm have appeared in the Mingyou Bureau one after another.

Given this situation, why did Suzhou fall into such a critical state that required it to enter a state of high alert?

"I can't explain it to you right now, but in short, this matter is very serious."

Su Changkong said urgently.

"But you have to give me a reason. You need to know what Level 1 alert means. It's a terrible omen of the city's destruction."

The voice on the other end gradually calmed down and asked seriously.

"If I survive, I will explain in detail to you, but for now, please believe me."

Su Changkong's tone was full of sincerity and anxiety as he continued.

Hearing Su Changkong speak with such certainty, the person on the other end didn't press further, but instead said, "I will send personnel to Su City to provide support right now."

To everyone's surprise, Su Changkong immediately rejected his request, saying, "I'm not calling you to ask for reinforcements, because sending more people will only result in another cold corpse. Besides, you need to give the order for those people in Su City to evacuate as well, and they must not participate in any way."

Upon sensing the surge of this power, Su Changkong immediately guessed who it was.

No matter how many people come, it won't make a difference given that person's presence; in fact, it might even completely anger them.

Although he didn't know the current situation of that person or whether a fierce battle would break out, Su Changkong dared not gamble.

"And what about you?"

"That's what they asked on the other end of the phone."

"If I survive, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Su Changkong gave a wry smile and repeated the same thing.

He then hung up the phone without a second thought.

After casually putting on his clothes, Su Changkong prepared to head towards the center of this energy fluctuation.

In the brightly lit, bustling city center, there was a bar with a "Closed" sign hanging in front of it.

Although a sign that said "Closed" was prominently displayed at the entrance, dozens of people were gathered inside the bar.

There were bricklayers dressed in simple, dusty clothes, students in neat school uniforms, and even blonde, blue-eyed women with hot figures.

Their clothes were all different and varied, and they came from different fields and different places, yet they were all gathered here at this moment.

Simply because they share the same identity behind the scenes: members of the underground organization Crimson Rose.

This bar, though seemingly unremarkable and ordinary from the outside, is actually one of the important gathering places for the Crimson Rose in Su City.

The group leaned against different spots, their expressions somber, and no one spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old slowly emerged from the depths of the bar.

She glanced at everyone and said slowly, "You've all received the news, haven't you? Su City has actually activated Level 1 alert."

"Boss, what should I do? Should I leave or..." The young man in the school uniform gently swirled the wine glass in his hand and asked with a slightly confused expression.

"What exactly happened in Suzhou, boss? Those guys from the Mingyou Bureau have activated Level 1 alert." Another person asked anxiously, looking puzzled.

Soon, several more people began to share their thoughts.

Some people were certain that something earth-shattering was about to happen in Suzhou, otherwise the Mingyou Bureau would not have suddenly activated the highest level of alert.

Some people disagreed, believing that Suzhou's actions were merely a bluff.

But in the end, they were all just baseless guesses. They did not have Su Changkong's profound cultivation, nor had they personally faced Shen Shuchou and Jiang Qianqiu at that time, so they could not perceive some subtle changes.

Just then, the bar's door, which had been locked from the inside, was suddenly pushed open with a creak, and everyone's voices abruptly stopped.

As wary eyes followed, a woman dressed in a stunning wedding gown and adorned with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe slowly walked in.

This strange and unique outfit immediately caused everyone's expression to change slightly.

"Miss, we're closing tonight."

One of the men, dressed in a bartender's uniform, quickly approached with a smile and offered her a drink, trying to get rid of her.

The woman in the wedding dress remained motionless. Her red lips, hidden beneath the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, moved slightly as she softly said, "You must be from the Crimson Rose! I wonder if you have ever seen my husband."

The woman in the wedding dress had a melodious voice, but her words sent a chill down everyone's spine.

One minute later.

The woman in her wedding dress slowly walked out of the bar, her beautiful eyes peering through her phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, fixed on a certain spot.

She stuck out her scarlet tongue, licked her lips slightly, and murmured to herself, "Husband, will you be there?"

The next moment, her figure vanished as if she had never existed.

The bar door behind them had closed tightly again, and the "Closed" sign swayed gently on the doorknob, making a slight "creaking" sound.

......

......

On the other side!

At this moment, Pei Rou was completely unaware that her actions would bring unbearable pressure to the entire city of Su.

But Shen Shuchou, who was not far in front of her, could see Pei Rou's terrifying situation clearly.

Pei Rou's sudden change completely exceeded his expectations, catching him off guard.

However, Shen Shuchou had to do his best to calm himself down, because what he needed to protect now was no longer just Shao Miao alone.

Rather, it is the vast city of Suzhou and the countless vibrant lives living within it.

If Pei Rou is allowed to go on a killing spree, Shen Shuchou will undoubtedly become the biggest trigger for this disaster.

He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

Shen Shuchou carefully placed Shao Miao aside again, then mobilized his true energy to form an indestructible barrier around her.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Shuchou no longer had the idea of ​​suppressing his cultivation.

In that very instant! A surging, equally powerful and awe-inspiring wave of cultivation energy surged forth around him like a tide.

Since experiencing the acceleration of spiritual energy last time, Shen Shuchou's cultivation has successfully reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

At this moment, he and Pei Rou were both at the Nascent Soul stage.

Even so, deep down Shen Shuchou knew very well that he might still be no match for Pei Rou.

But in this critical moment, he had to step forward without hesitation and do everything in his power to stop it.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged violently, as if the heavens and earth themselves changed color.

The two stood facing each other. Compared to Pei Rou, who wielded the peerless weapon Ting Chunyu and exuded an imposing aura, Shen Shuchou appeared exceptionally frail, his hands empty and without any support.

"Pei Rou, do you want to make a mistake? Are you not listening to your brother anymore?"

Shen Shuchou took a step forward and shouted in a booming voice.

At this moment, in Pei Rou's world, apart from Shen Shuchou's figure being clearly visible, everyone else, including the entire city of Su, was stained with blood.

Upon hearing those words again, a hint of grievance involuntarily crept into Pei Rou's frenzied expression. She slowly lowered her eyes and whispered, "Pei Rou... is not wrong... Pei Rou only wants her brother."

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou quickly changed to an extremely gentle tone and continued, "Brother is right here. Come home with brother, okay?"

Having said that, Shen Shuchou walked straight to Pei Rou's side without hesitation, completely disregarding the corrosive crimson aura emanating from her body, and grabbed her icy, bone-chilling little hand.

"Come home with your brother, and he won't leave you," Shen Shuchou said softly, stroking the girl's hair by her ear with great patience.

But the next moment, the girl suddenly broke free from Shen Shuchou's hand. She raised her eyes, and all the grievances she had felt earlier vanished without a trace.

Instead, there was more bloodshed and a seemingly boundless lust for slaughter.

Those cold, blood-red eyes were fixed on Shen Shuchou, and he uttered a warm yet chillingly cold voice: "Once I destroy this world and kill everyone, brother, you will be mine alone."

Having said that, Pei Rou vanished from her spot in a flash.

When she reappeared, she was already above Su City. She waved her hands, and the huge blood-red gate standing behind her slowly opened to both sides.

Endless crimson energy poured out like a surging torrent.

Upon seeing this, Shen Shuchou's face turned deathly pale. Ignoring everything else, he shot off like an arrow.

He transformed his inner energy into an impenetrable barrier, which blocked the sky above Suzhou in advance.

"Pei Rou, stop it."

Shen Shuchou barely managed to keep pace with Pei Rou. While doing his best to control his true energy to resist the raging torrent of blood, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Meanwhile, the ground below was already teeming with people. No one knew what was happening. Everyone had received a notification and was rushing toward the underground security facility.

Without any cultivation, and with only their mortal eyes, they could not see the breathtaking scenes unfolding in the sky.

"Brother, you can't stop me. Just get some sleep, and when you wake up, we can be together forever."

Pei Rou's icy expression unexpectedly softened.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Rou slowly raised Ting Chunyu high, and a dazzling blood-red light suddenly burst forth from the blade.

Immediately afterwards, she slashed fiercely at the true energy barrier below with overwhelming force.

At the same moment, the world before Shen Shuchou's eyes instantly transformed into a vast, boundless sea of ​​blood, and an overwhelming drowsiness, like Mount Tai pressing down on him, swept over him.

Shen Shuchou clenched his teeth tightly. He knew perfectly well that he was currently in Pei Rou's mental world, and he could not fall asleep so easily, otherwise Su City below would surely fall into an abyss of no return.

In Shen Shuchou's hand, true energy instantly condensed into a gleaming blade. Without the slightest hesitation, he resolutely slashed at his left arm.

With a "rip" sound!

A severed arm plummeted straight down from the sky, crimson blood gushing out like a burst dam from the gruesome wound.

"Well!"

The excruciating pain caused Shen Shuchou to involuntarily let out a low growl.

At the same time, it successfully tore apart the terrifying, blood-red ocean in front of them.

Without a moment's hesitation, Shen Shuchou unleashed his full power, transforming it into an incomparably sharp sword aura, and charged swiftly towards the blood-red blade light filled with murderous intent.

He absolutely could not allow Pei Rou to sever the true energy barrier, otherwise, if the blood flowed into Su City, it would undoubtedly be a horrific hell on earth.

A "click" sound.

The sword energy that Shen Shuchou had transformed into was shattered into pieces by this incredibly powerful strike, but fortunately he managed to withstand the fatal blow.

His body, however, plummeted towards the ground like a falling meteor, crashing down as fast as a boulder.

At this critical juncture, Shen Shuchou did not choose to use his remaining true energy to save himself, but instead poured all his remaining true energy into reinforcing the barrier.

At this moment, Shen Shuchou was like a dried-up well, with no strength left in his body. Falling from such a terrifying height, even if he survived by chance, he would definitely be severely injured.

Gazing at the figure shrouded in blood in the sky, Shen Shuchou slowly closed his eyes. In his heart, he did not harbor any resentment or blame towards Pei Rou.

From Pei Rou's perspective, she was nothing more than a little girl who longed for all of her brother's love.

At most, they're just a little immature.

But Shen Shuchou's thoughts were completely different. Since he returned to Blue Star, all he wanted was a peaceful life and to protect this place from harm.

At last!

Shen Shuchou took a deep breath and roared in his heart, "System, I'll f*** you!"

System: "? Not buddy."

Then Shen Shuchou slowly closed his eyes. He was so tired that he could only shout these words in his heart.
