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

Leaving the Taoist temple, Tantai Chigu felt the forbidden power within his body resonating subtly with the world below, and followed that feeling as he sped off into the distance.

Meanwhile, in another part of the sky, Gu Qingran's figure, like a light streak, closely followed the black crow ahead.

Raven feathers swept across the clouds, leaving inky arcs. Seeing that familiar figure, Gu Qingran's heart trembled violently.

The brother who disappeared for four years has finally reappeared, but why doesn't he just show himself and instead uses a black crow to lead the way?

Doubts crept into my mind like a thin mist, but I dared not stop.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the black crow folded its wings and landed in front of a small house, turning into a phantom and disappearing.

Gu Qingran stared at the house in front of her, her steps suddenly halting, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

This is clearly the place where she and Shen Shuchou spent four years together.

Just as she was about to step forward, a figure suddenly materialized in the open space in front of the hut.

When she saw the person's appearance clearly, Gu Qingran frowned slightly, and the expectation in her eyes faded a little.

"Why is it you?"

She asked the question.

The person before her was not Ya Ye, whom she had been longing for, but Gu Jian, who had traveled with her not long ago.

Gu Jian stood not far away. When he looked up and glanced at Gu Qingran, the greed in his eyes surged like a real substance, undisguised, like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.

Gu Qingran saw that expression clearly, and her heart sank suddenly. An ominous premonition grew wildly like vines.

"Why is it you? Where's my brother?"

She questioned him coldly, her gaze piercing him directly.

"hehe……"

Gu Jian chuckled softly, a laugh tinged with an indescribable eeriness.

"Your brother? You mean Yaya?"

He paused, then continued, "He was never your brother! The original owner of this body was actually your biological brother!"

These words struck Gu Qingran like a thunderbolt, her heart jolting violently. Her face paled slightly, but she immediately roared, "Nonsense! What have you done to my brother? Where is he?"

Her questioning only earned her an even colder laugh from Gu Jian, a laugh filled with cruel certainty: "Don't worry, you'll see him soon, after I devour your sword seed."

The moment the last word was uttered, Gu Jian's figure suddenly blurred, leaving only a lingering afterimage.

The next instant, the biting cold had already pressed within inches of Gu Qingran, and a pitch-black hand, carrying a corrosive and decaying aura, went straight for her heart!

Gu Qingran was prepared. She felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, and her body darted to the side and back like a startled swan, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

She touched the ground with her toes to steady herself, and her sword intent surged instantly around her. Her gaze was fixed on Gu Jian, who had stood in front of her again, and her eyes were filled with a bone-chilling coldness.

"You're not him! Who are you?"

Gu Qingran demanded an explanation in a stern voice.

Although he hadn't had much interaction with Gu Jian, during their previous exchanges, their sword intents always resonated subtly, like the clear sound of two blades clashing.

But now, all that surrounds him is a nauseating decay and coldness.

Her sword intent struck, but it was like a stone sinking into the mud, not even making a sound.

This aura was definitely not that of the Gu Jian of the past.

Her response was still a cold, mocking laugh.

Gu Jian took a step forward, and the cold, decaying aura surged like a tide.

It transformed into an invisible net, carrying a suffocating pressure, and descended upon Gu Qingran.

Now, Gu Qingran had no more doubts; the person in front of her was definitely not Gu Jian.

Alarm bells rang in her mind, and her intuition told her that this person was no match for her, but it was too late to retreat now.

Besides, she had followed the black crow here, so Gu Qingran felt that Ya Ye must also be here.

She gritted her teeth, and an invisible sword intent surged from her body, like countless strands of silver light.

They intertwined in the air to form an invisible longsword, carrying a sharp whistling sound as it pierced the wind, and fiercely stabbed towards Gu Jian's figure!

The silvery sword intent collided with that aura, but before it could even cause a ripple, it was instantly swallowed up like a candle flame in a raging storm.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force slammed into Gu Qingran's chest, sending her flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

Before she could stabilize her surging internal energy, the sound of wind suddenly came from that cold aura.

Gu Jian's figure was like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of her.

His pupils were now filled with a deathly coldness, but a twisted greed surged in his eyes as he stared intently at Gu Qingran's heart.

That was the core where her sword intent was concentrated.

"Hmm..."

A deep, guttural sound rolled out from Gu Jian's throat, and a large, jet-black hand suddenly reached out again.

The hand seemed to be shrouded in a solidified shadow. Before it even touched Gu Qingran, a bone-chilling coldness seeped into her bones through her pores.

Gu Qingran realized something was wrong and tried to use her sword intent to sever the strange hand.

But just as the sword intent within him was about to burst forth, it suddenly became stagnant, as if bound by invisible chains.

The next second, that dark hand gripped her shoulder, and the icy touch instantly spread throughout her body, making her blood feel like it was about to freeze.

She tried to struggle, but found that her limbs were firmly locked by a cold force, and she couldn't even move a finger.

Gu Jian's face was extremely close, his nose almost touching her forehead.

"What are you? What have you done to my brother?!"

Gu Qingran's bones ached from the grip on her shoulder, but she still glared at Gu Jian, her voice filled with furious rage.

"Hehe... I already told you, you'll be seeing your brother soon..."

Gu Jian's laughter was strangely hoarse, as if two voices were twisting together in his throat.

His dark palm suddenly exerted force, and the skin beneath his fingertips instantly felt a bone-chilling cold.

Gu Qingran shuddered violently. The chilling aura no longer lingered on her skin, but instead, like a venomous snake, it crazily burrowed into her body along the touch on her shoulder.

She could clearly feel that the power gathered within her body was being devoured and disintegrated by this aura, and even the life force flowing through her limbs and bones was being gradually drained away.

She tried her best to unleash her sword intent to resist, but the power within her body was like beads from a broken string, scattered so much that not even a trace could be gathered together.

They could only watch helplessly as their struggles were rendered insignificant, like an ant trying to shake a tree, in the face of absolute power.

Just then, "Thump thump thump!"

A series of unsteady footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the hut.

The sound was deep and chaotic, each step feeling like walking on fluffy cotton, sometimes heavy and sometimes light.

It's like someone who has just woken up from a coma or weakness, struggling to even stand up.

Gu Jian's movements suddenly stopped, his cold pupils contracted slightly, and he turned his head sharply to look in the direction from which the footsteps came.

The dark hand clenched even tighter unconsciously, and even the chilling aura seemed to stir with a hint of restlessness.

The footsteps approached from afar, gradually becoming more orderly, eventually settling into a steady and clear rhythm, standing out distinctly in the silence.

When the figure finally appeared, Gu Jian's eyes remained unchanged, and he only glanced at it indifferently.

Gu Qingran felt as if an invisible force had gripped her heart; her fingertips turned white, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she uttered a choked "Brother!"

The words slipped out, instantly shattering the surrounding silence.

The figure that came into view was none other than Ya Ye, who had not appeared in front of Gu Qingran for four whole years.

Previously, his consciousness had been suppressed by the Raven God, and he had once sunk into the abyss of chaos.

Only now, with the consciousness of the Raven God detached from this body and instead resided within Gu Jian's body, has Raven Night's consciousness been able to slowly break free from the chaos and gradually awaken.

Especially when he caught Gu Qingran's voice, the power of awakening accelerated suddenly, breaking free of its constraints like a cocoon breaking free.

As Ya Ye looked in the direction of the sound, the instant he saw the scene before him, his expression was instantly covered with a terrifying rage.

He took a sudden step forward and shouted in a deep voice, "You've already taken over Gu Jian's body, isn't that enough? Release my sister!"

Upon hearing this, the Raven God, who was possessing Gu Jian's body, only let out a cold sneer: "You woke up earlier than I expected. I still need the sword seed within her."

"Let her go."

Ya Ye's voice was calm and even, yet carried an undeniable firmness as he repeated each word clearly and deliberately.

"I spared your life only because of the connection between us."

The Raven God's sneer intensified, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Or do you really consider her your own sister? Don't forget, your sister was just someone you snatched from the original owner of this body!"

The sinister power surging in his hands did not stop at all because of this conversation, and continued to frantically erode Gu Qingran's life force.

Hearing these words amidst her pain, Gu Qingran's eyes suddenly trembled, and she looked with difficulty at Ya Ye's figure.

His eyes were filled with struggle and confusion, as if trying to discern the truth of those words from his face.

Upon hearing this, Ya Ye paused slightly and remained silent for a moment.

When he met Gu Qingran's eyes, which were filled with pain and doubt, his voice was cold, but carried an unwavering resolve: "Even if I'm not her biological brother, she's still my sister."

"I'm asking you one last time, let her go."

Before the words were even finished, Ya Ye took another step forward, and the air around him seemed to freeze with that step, filled with a bone-chilling cold.

"What can you do if I don't let go!"

The Raven God let out a cold, mocking laugh, his tone full of unbridled provocation.

"Then, I'll kill you!"

His response was Ya Ye's cold words, laced with chilling killing intent.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ya Ye's figure flickered, and he appeared in front of Ya Shen almost instantly.

His right fist, imbued with forbidden power, whistled through the wind with a fierce, all-or-nothing determination, and he slammed it out!

"boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out.

However, the one who staggered backward the next moment was Yaya!
