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

At that moment, the people walking on the street were startled by Shen Shuchou's sudden collapse.

Instantly, the crowd surged around him like a tide, while his clone merely extended a finger and lightly tapped, a powerful surge of true energy sealing the life force of his original body.

The most important thing right now is to prevent the Death Court from taking away Fifth Qinghan.

His vast and boundless divine sense swept over every corner of Fangzhou City with lightning speed.

Finally, he caught sight of a powerful aura somewhere outside the city. Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Shuchou immediately gave chase.

Meanwhile, somewhere outside the city, Mo Ying, accompanied by Fifth Qing Han, was quietly awaiting Shan Chi's arrival.

At this moment, Mo Ying was no longer the little girl she once was, but a red-haired woman wearing a gossamer dress as thin as a cicada's wing.

The almost transparent gauze dress seemed to allow one to fully appreciate the breathtakingly beautiful, snow-white skin beneath.

Fifth Qinghan still looked lost and dejected, her usual timid gaze now strangely dull.

"Tsk tsk tsk! What a beautiful little face, she's just as pretty as me."

Mo Ying gently pinched Fifth Qinghan's small face with one hand.

Although she didn't understand what use Shan Chi had for this little girl with two bodies and one soul, it wasn't something she should concern herself with.

I wonder what the situation is like on the sect leader's side, but I imagine that person must have paid a heavy price.

Mo Ying pondered silently in her heart.

Mo Ying had complete confidence in Shan Chi personally taking charge; in her mind, no one could defeat the sect leader.

A burning desire shone in her eyes, and the gauze skirt between her legs was tucked into her long, snow-white thighs.

Her hand slowly moved down from Fifth Qinghan's small face, and she said with a slight smile, "Let your older sister see how your face is."

Just as Mo Ying was about to slide one hand under Fifth Qinghan's clothes, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon her.

"If you move any further, I'll make sure you die a horrible death."

A cold voice rang in Mo Ying's ears.

She turned her head sharply and saw a man in black standing in the sky.

Those concealed faces hid a bloodthirsty gaze, and a chilling aura struck Mo Ying's heart directly.

"Hehe, why are you being so fierce! Fine, I won't touch you anymore!"

Mo Ying said coquettishly, her voice as melodious and charming as a nightingale's song.

Shen Shuchou merely glanced at her coldly before turning his gaze to the girl beside him.

After a careful examination, he found that Fifth Qinghan had only lost his mind and was otherwise unharmed, which relieved him somewhat.

Mo Ying naturally knew that the other party had come because of this girl, and she also knew that once a fight broke out, she would definitely not be a match for this person.

All she could do at that moment was try to buy some time and wait for Shan Chi to arrive.

Just as Shen Shuchou was about to reach Mo Ying, the allure in Mo Ying's eyes was instantly replaced by coldness.

Immediately afterwards, a jet-black bracelet on her slender wrist suddenly shone brightly, transforming into the head of a ferocious dragon.

The dragon's head opened its gaping maw and charged fiercely at Shen Shuchou. Its fangs were menacing, its eyes were bloodshot, and it exuded endless ferocity, as if it wanted to devour Shen Shuchou whole.

Shen Shuchou's gaze sharpened, and he stopped abruptly. He showed no fear in the face of this sudden attack.

He clenched his fist with one hand, condensing a dazzling light, and then charged forward, colliding fiercely with the head of the dragon.

"boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded, sending up waves of air that blew sand and gravel into the air, filling the sky with dust.

Mo Ying was jolted back by the powerful impact, her face turning slightly pale.

However, the dragon's head did not stop there. It opened its mouth again and spewed out a stream of black flames, instantly engulfing Shen Shuchou.

The flames roared, and the intense heat distorted the air itself.

Despite being engulfed in flames, Shen Shuchou remained calm and composed.

His imposing figure stood firm like a mountain, radiating a powerful aura that prevented the black flames from getting even a fraction closer.

He snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. In an instant, the true energy in his hand transformed into a long sword with a chilling gleam, its blade radiating a cold killing intent.

With a flick of his arm, his sword flashed like a rainbow, slashing fiercely at the head of the dragon with the force to cleave mountains and rivers.

The sharp sword energy roared out, carving tiny cracks into the surrounding space.

With a crisp "crack," the dragon's head shattered instantly under the terrifying sword's power, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.

Shen Shuchou's clothes fluttered, his hair flew, and he exuded an invincible aura that inspired awe.

A look of regret flashed across Mo Ying's beautiful eyes. That dragon was something she had obtained a long time ago and had always been of great help to her.

Unexpectedly, he was killed by this mysterious person with a single sword strike, and the bracelet on his wrist shattered into pieces on the ground in an instant.

Not only that, even her cultivation at the Tribulation Transcending Realm was affected.

Such a powerful being was something Mo Ying had only witnessed in the sect leader Shan Chi and the four mysterious and unpredictable Dark Lords.

But Mo Ying had already prepared a backup plan, and as soon as she made her move, she had already firmly grasped Fifth Qinghan in her hand.

At this moment, she gripped Fifth Qinghan's fragile neck tightly with one hand and said sternly, "If you take another step forward, I cannot guarantee the strength of my grip."

Shen Shuchou's eyes, hidden in the darkness, instantly turned cold, and an even more powerful sword intent sealed off the surrounding space, tightly trapping Mo Ying within.

"You are welcome to try, and see if your hands are faster or my sword is quicker."

Shen Shuchou continued his slow approach towards Mo Ying without stopping.

Fine beads of sweat kept sliding down Mo Ying's pretty face. Just based on the powerful pressure he exuded, Mo Ying dared not try it easily.

But she absolutely could not easily hand over Fifth Qinghan to the other party, otherwise she would surely die.

At the same time, she was also worried because Shan Chi had not shown up for a long time.

At this extremely tense and critical moment, a figure quietly stepped into this space sealed by sword intent.

Upon seeing the sudden arrival of the man in blue, Mo Ying's expression instantly changed from tense to composed.

In her mind, as long as Shan Chi arrived, no matter how powerful the person in front of her was, he would definitely not be a match for Shan Chi.

At this moment, Shan Chi was neither dressed in blue nor in his original form, but resembled Shen Shuchou, with an indistinct face.

Shen Shuchou stared at the suddenly appearing Shan Chi, his eyes, hidden beneath the black mist, narrowed slightly.

This person exuded a deep and restrained aura, revealing not a trace of his cultivation, yet he gave the man an extremely dangerous feeling.

"You must be the one who overturned the chessboard."

Suddenly, Shan Chi laughed loudly, his voice like a great bell, echoing in the enclosed space.

"Then you are the one who plays the game."

Shen Shuchou responded with a cold laugh.

"Hahaha, I am at most just a chess piece on this chessboard."

Dan Chi burst into laughter again, his laughter filled with endless vicissitudes and helplessness.

Mo Ying, standing to the side, was slightly taken aback. Her eyebrows furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment. She was genuinely unable to understand what the two were saying.

"Let her go."

After laughing, Shan Chi looked at Mo Ying and said.

Mo Ying was even more puzzled. She really didn't understand why the person she had captured had to be returned. However, the current situation was not the time for her to say anything.

Immediately, she pushed the girl out of her arms, and Shen Shuchou quickly flipped his hand and caught Fifth Qinghan steadily.

"Your aura is similar to that of the demonic path, but I wonder which demonic master you are."

Dan Chi always had a smile on his lips. Facing Shen Shuchou, he seemed not to be an enemy, but an old friend of a hundred years, so kind and approachable.

Without seeing Shan Chi's true face, Shen Shuchou didn't know who the other party was, but the only thing he was sure of was that the other party must be a high-ranking member of the Death Court, whose status was even on par with his clone, and both of them were among the Four Dark Lords.

Seeing Shen Shuchou remain silent, Shan Chi shook his head slightly. He had never expected the other party to reveal the truth.

"In that case, you may leave."

Dan Chi continued.

Shen Shuchou did not move an inch, and his aura remained completely unwavering.

"Please convey my message: I hope that when we meet again, I can have a real game of chess with your friend, and I also hope that my friend won't casually overturn this game then."

As far as the single pool smiles.

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Mo Ying vanished from the spot in an instant.

Once the other person had disappeared without a trace, Shen Shuchou stood still, pondered for a moment, and then left the place.

At this moment, on the streets of Fangzhou City, Qingyi Danchi and Moying sat on the second floor of a teahouse.

Looking out the window, one could see Shen Shuchou still lying on the ground, surrounded by a crowd of people.

But a short while later, a petite girl squeezed through the crowd and fell into Shen Shuchou's arms.

Seeing this, Shan Chi withdrew his gaze, picked up the tea on the table, took a small sip, and then said, "Just ask me whatever you want to ask."

Mo Ying glanced out the window again before asking, puzzled, "I only want to know why the sect leader returned this woman."

"Even if I bring her back, the time isn't right yet, and I'll have to take good care of her, which would be too much trouble. Why not let him take good care of her for me?"

"That's what Dan Chi said."

"When will we finally get to this point? And what secrets does this dual-body, single-soul entity hold?"

What Masakura really wanted to know was that last sentence.

"When Yin and Yang are in harmony, when the game of chess is played to its rightful place."

Dan Chi simply left a brief comment before getting up and departing.

Seeing this, Mo Ying followed after them, completely bewildered.

In Danchi's original plan, he only wanted to make a move to test the waters first.

However, Shen Shuchou's performance on the chessboard greatly disappointed him, so he decided to kill him, take away Fifth Shushuang, find a place to hide, and wait for the right time.

However, Shen Shuchou's decision to overturn the chessboard in the end changed his mind.

Furthermore, Dan Chi did not tell Mo Ying the truth, namely that he did not fail to emerge from seclusion, but rather that he was unable to do so.

Because someone wanted him dead, and as he said, he was just a slightly larger pawn.

Shen Shuchou's sudden appearance is not only the salvation of the Fifth Sister, but perhaps also a key element in his becoming the true master of the chessboard.
