After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

【"Boom!" x8】

At this moment, the figures that had entered the Lake of Sinking Gold all emerged from the lake and surrounded you.

[You looked at the white-clad woman who had calmly received your attack, and your expression changed slightly.]

[Actually, you did notice that her attitude underwent subtle changes from the moment she reached the cliff edge.]

[A person who was originally aloof suddenly became much more enthusiastic.]

[But what you didn't expect was that the other party would be so decisive, directly transmitting their voice to others, and most importantly, this woman's strength was incredibly formidable.]

[She was able to withstand that halberd at close range, and judging from her nonchalant stance, she clearly still had strength left.]

You have indeed underestimated these people.

To be more precise, you've gotten a bit cocky, but thankfully you weren't immediately told to be humble and impetuous.

"There are truly countless heroes in this world!"

You sighed softly, your words filled with admiration.

The "myriad phenomena" may seem perfect, but without preparation, they are easily seen through by those who know them well.

"Young Madam, you flatter me. Your transformation technique is truly amazing."

The woman in white took a few steps back, forming a circle around the group of people.

[Looking at these nine men, so fierce and intimidating, you might be able to defeat them one by one if you go all out.]

But it's pointless now.

[That only applies if you reveal all your trump cards; many secrets will then be exposed, and you will find it difficult to move an inch within the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.]

After all, Gu Wudao hasn't developed feelings for you yet, and even if he did, you wouldn't place all your hopes on someone else.

"I admit defeat this time. I wonder when you figured out my identity."

You sheathed your halberd, looking as if you were about to surrender.

Seeing this, the tense figures relaxed slightly.

To achieve their goal, if you resist with all your might, they will not hesitate to kill you to save their own lives.

However, if you obediently admit defeat, the others naturally won't want to fight you to the death.

Even if Gu Wudao doesn't seek revenge later, who knows what deadly treasures someone of your status might be hiding?

"At the edge of that cliff."

The woman in white smiled slightly.

"When I said that the young mistress was not a cultivator of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, you did not refute me."

"What's wrong with that? Dieyi is a cultivator from the Blissful Immortal Palace."

You looked puzzled.

"That's not the case."

The burly man who had been flirtatious earlier stepped forward, but his attitude was now extremely respectful.

"Young Madam, Fairy Butterfly Robe is a concubine betrothed by the Blissful Immortal Palace to True Lord Ghost Soul. Strictly speaking, she is also a cultivator of the Myriad Demons Sect, and she hates it when people bring this up."

"You already know what you need to know."

The woman in white nodded slightly, bowed to you, and spoke calmly yet with an air of undeniable authority:

"Now, please hand over the sun wheel you have found, and we will not make things difficult for you."

The saying "The villain dies from talking too much" is once again etched in your mind.

【"Yeah?"】

Seeing the group looking at you with suspicion, you chuckled softly and looked at the woman in white again:

"What's your name?"

The woman in white, though puzzled, still answered your question.

"Xia Ruoxi."

Upon hearing this, you nodded slightly, silently reciting two words in your heart:

【"Backtrack!"】

【...】

【Buzz~】

The scene before my eyes shattered like a mirror, then slowly reformed.

You've come to that cliff edge again.

However, you have now returned to a day earlier, before the tides of the sun have yet to arrive.

[The moment your consciousness returned, your figure vanished from the cliff edge, and when you reappeared, you were already moving rapidly across the plain below.]

Now that we know where the Sun Tide descends, there's no need to wait. You must take the initiative and defeat them one by one.

The first person we encountered was the one-eyed man, who was collecting sun shards in a valley.

When our eyes met, you smiled, pursing your lips.

"Brother~ I'm sorry about the other day, I was just in a bad mood."

Seeing your slender figure and ingratiating attitude, the one-eyed man's heart stirred. Could it be...?

Just as you were about three zhang away from him, a transparent palm swiftly materialized and slammed into his head.

The one-eyed man felt a chill run down his spine, then everything went black, and his mind went blank.

[Pfft~]

A magnificent head soared into the sky.

As blood splattered, a layer of spiritual energy enveloped you, isolating you from all defilement.

The one-eyed man's eyes were vacant; he died without ever knowing what had happened.

[Nothing special, you simply use your soul power to violently impact his soul. This is equivalent to two people bumping heads together; after the impact, he will naturally fall into a state of dizziness.]

[Unfortunately, you cannot yet cultivate the soul techniques of the Nascent Soul stage. It's not that your soul strength is insufficient, but rather that you lack something.]

Otherwise, why go through all this trouble to kill these Golden Core stage ants?

You expressionlessly cast a fireball, then casually pocketed his storage ring.

There are a full twenty-seven sun discs inside, more than twice as many as you would want.

"Murder and arson bring wealth and power."

Moreover, this person is truly diligent!

After silently praising the other person, you completely concealed your presence and sped away out of the valley.

Over the next few hours, muffled thuds echoed continuously within the Turbid Abyss.

[But your identity keeps changing—male or female, tall or short, fat or thin—and the rest of the people can't find your whereabouts at all.]

But by the time they truly realized it, the cold blade had already pierced their chests.

"Eighth place."

Watching the burly man vanish in a flash of white light, you curled your lip in disdain.

[This kid seems simple-minded, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning. He actually sensed your intentions just as you were about to make a move and decisively activated his token to escape.]

But it doesn't matter; he didn't see anything important anyway.

"Xia Ruoxi, aren't you going to show yourself?"

You amplified your sound with your spiritual power, making it almost resound throughout the entire Turbid Abyss.

Unable to find the woman in white, you turned back to the cliff and plopped down on a boulder.

Too lazy to look anymore.

Now only the two of you remain in the secret realm; you'll inevitably run into each other sooner or later.

After a while, a clear sound of footsteps came from the end of the mountain path.

You look up and see a woman in white, carrying a long black spear on her back, calmly walking up the cliff.

The woman in white stopped ten paces away from you, her gaze sweeping over Duan Yuan standing beside you, her tone remaining calm:

"Young mistress, you truly have remarkable skills."

You raised an eyebrow, but didn't get up. You simply leaned lazily against the boulder, seemingly ignoring her completely.

"Are you going to get out of here yourself, or will I help you?"

In a one-on-one fight, within the Golden Core realm, you fear no one except that monster Gu Wudao.

Even if it were Liu Guanzhi... scratch that, even if it were Lin Bufan, with your current strength, you'd dare to fight him.

The woman in white held a gun in one hand, and a powerful surge of blood energy erupted from her.

Then, the spearhead was pointed directly at your forehead:

"I want to fight you."
