I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

She seemed to have let go of something, and cut off her own arm.

A somewhat surprised gaze fell on Gu Qici before she suddenly smiled, trying to cover up her earlier lapse in composure.

“Very well, it’s your turn to rule from now on. Do you have the means to subdue this strange bone? I can protect you, so go ahead and give it a try.”

Gu Qici shook her head.

"Oh? So you don't have a solution either?"

She shook her head again. She had indeed intended to do so, but because of the backlash from the heavenly fire, she changed her mind: "I don't want this. Leave it to my senior brother. I know my own path, I will follow my own way. My future is promising. Taking something that is not suitable for me may not allow me to go further than I am now."

"Good! Good! Good!" The sect leader's illusory figure, now smaller due to weakness, exclaimed three times: "The Heavenly Demon Sect is fortunate to have you. You and Huang Quan can truly be called 'Sleeping Dragon' and 'Young Phoenix'. Opportunity knows no father or son, and you are indeed generous. You are the most magnanimous person I have ever met!"

Gu Qici frowned. She felt that whether it was "Sleeping Dragon" or "Young Phoenix," it didn't sound like a compliment when put together.

As for having a broad mind?

Nonsense.

She considers herself a narrow-minded person.

I couldn't help but subconsciously look down.

You can't see the toes.

Gu Qici raised her sword and walked up to Liu Xiyao.

Each step he took was heavy, as if he were stepping on Liu Xiyao's breath.

The girl lay on the ground, barely alive, her face pale.

Liu Xiyao felt no pain, but her heart felt a tingling, numbing sensation, as if ants were devouring it.

A glimmer of life suddenly appeared in her lifeless eyes. She grabbed Gu Qici's leg and pleaded, "Please..."

Gu Qici kicked her hand away and sneered.

It should be eaten while it's hot.

Before Liu Xiyao dies, he will personally end her life.

This can be considered as fulfilling the obsession from the previous life.

"Please die quietly."

With a single, merciless strike, the sword aimed straight for the heart.

'Ding! '

Sparks flew everywhere.

The sword in Gu Qici's hand was knocked askew and stuck into the ground.

"Cut the weeds but don't pull them out at the root?"

She completely disregarded the difference in their social status and questioned the sect leader.

The sect leader shook his head: "I can sense that there is still a faint connection between this bone and her. I'm not sure what kind of changes will occur to this bone if she dies. Let's wait until Huang Quan comes and refine it completely."

Gu Qici swung her sword again, unleashing a powerful, sweeping wind.

"Then forget it. I can find something else to replace her. I'm going to kill her today."

The black bone fragment struck the sword blade even faster than the sect leader's phantom.

A crack appeared in the bone, and the sword in Gu Qici's hand also became dull.

This did not stop her; on the contrary, it fueled her determination to kill.

A third swing of the sword!

"As expected... This is too strange. I had this suspicion before, but the more it's like this, the more I want to kill her. I don't believe there will be any more accidents today..."

The sect leader was helpless, not knowing what kind of obsession Gu Qici had that made him so determined to kill her.

She didn't want to know; she only wanted to protect that spiritual bone, because the Heavenly Demon Sect needed it.

He transmitted his voice with his mind and then placed the sound in the main hall.

Is Huang Quan there?

"Sect Master? What is it?"

“Your wife caused trouble in my main hall. I only had a wisp of projection present and I was slightly injured. I couldn’t control her.”

"Sect Master, are you kidding me? Where did I get a wife? Is the Heavenly Demon Sect issuing them all?"

"The sect will send you one another day."

"Is there really such a good thing? Then send me a gentle, obedient, thrifty, and good-natured woman."

Gu Qici's sword strike came to an abrupt halt, then twisted in an arc and swung into his own hand.

She bent down and fiddled with the dull blade of the sword, as if trying to straighten it.

Shouldn't this be considered thrifty and good at managing a household?

"So you're willing to back down now?" The sect leader's projection said with displeasure, "Since you've already decided to give it to Huang Quan, then you've lost the right to decide on this treasure. You absolutely cannot touch this little girl."

"I hope you won't regret what you did today."

The sect leader ignored her and continued to transmit his voice: "You should come back first. Things have been a bit turbulent lately. More than twenty sects have started to suppress the Heavenly Demon Sect. I'm afraid someone might try to harm you."

"However, I still have some personal matters to resolve with someone."

The sect leader noticed his hesitation but didn't mind: "Come back first. Are they friends or enemies? Those madmen are capable of anything. You might even get your friends involved if you stay there."

"Okay, I'll be back after I leave an explanation."

She hung up the telepathic message and suddenly realized that Gu Qici was almost at the entrance of the main hall: "Gu Qici, where are you going?"

"Take a bath, burn incense, and wait for your senior brother to return so you can protect him."

Chapter Forty-Five: Possessing the Qualities of an Emperor

"My senior brother is still as dashing as ever after not seeing me for more than ten days!"

"You slut, you only notice that he's still as dashing as ever? Didn't you sense that your senior brother's aura has become even more profound? I think it's a sign that he's about to break through!"

"You're probably about to break through, you're probably about to break through, how many times have you said that? So the question is, why hasn't Senior Brother broken through yet?"

"Ahem, junior sister, why didn't you mention how nice the Holy Son smelled this time?"

"Can't you think of something else? I can smell the stench of that vixen on him from dozens of meters away, how could he possibly smell good?"

"Spirit beasts are usually very hygienic, why would they smell bad?"

"She's a fox spirit, not a fox spirit."

……

Huang Quan channeled his spiritual power into the teleportation array. With a flash of light, he crossed the dark brown mountainside and disappeared into the white clouds.

Under the azure sky, two dragons with golden scales are painted on the eaves, as if they are about to take off into the sky.

Three large characters are placed horizontally in the middle of the two dragons.

"Heavenly Demon Palace"

Judging from the layout, this is most likely the main hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Huang Quan glanced casually at the disciples on both sides of the stone steps: "Is the sect leader here?"

The disciples at the Breaking Army Realm felt a surge of nervousness and were at a loss when they met his gaze: "The Sect Master has already gone into seclusion, but there is a wisp of his soul in the main hall. It would be best if the Holy Son did not have anything urgent to do and did not disturb him."

Okay, thank you.

Huang Quan looked indifferent.

His expression was indifferent, showing no concern whatsoever, only lacking some of the murderous aura he once possessed.

He thanked them and stepped past them onto the stone steps.

The disciple on the right, being young and impetuous, couldn't help but speak up behind others' backs: "Senior brother, I think this Holy Son is a bit overrated. Every step he takes is full of flaws, and I don't sense the killing intent brewing on him like other geniuses. A person like this won't go far in the cultivation world."

The disciple on the left closed his eyes, recalling the events of just moments ago: "You've narrowed your perspective. If you're not convinced, feel free to try. Every flaw here can unleash boundless killing intent. Who hasn't stained their hands with blood to reach this point? It's just that the Holy Son is ahead of everyone else... You, someone who's ascended the mountain, look down on a god descending? I suspect the Holy Son has begun his Nirvana process, and I wonder which path he's taken..."

……

Inside the Heavenly Demon Palace.

“Your spiritual energy is disordered and mixed with a bit of fire, and your steps are unsteady. It’s obvious that you just went through a fierce battle not long ago.” The sect leader’s illusory figure stood with his hands behind his back: “Did the people from Burning Flame Valley try to kill you? I’m just a projection, so I can’t see very clearly, but remember not to damage your foundation.”

"Uh..." Huang Quan felt a little embarrassed: "To use swordsmanship in front of someone who controls heavenly fire doesn't seem like something someone from Burning Flame Valley would do."

The sect leader's illusory figure nodded, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes: "Hmm, did you gain anything? If you encounter any troubles you can't solve, the sect will always be your support and will stand up for you. You have unlimited possibilities in the future, unlike my life, which I can see the end of at a glance. Take good care of yourself in everything."

She changed the subject: "Are you about to be reborn?"

Huang Quan: "?"

He gave a vague answer: "It should be about the same, soon."

The sect leader walked up to him and looked at him quietly: "Have you chosen your path?"

Huang Quan: "?"

A moment of silence fell over the air. The sect leader stared at Huang Quan, his eyes gradually hardening with anger: "I like your naive ideas, but they're unrealistic. This world is like this, it's either life or death, black or white. You can't change this world, so you can only submit to it. If you insist on being stubborn, your position as the Holy Son will be taken away by someone else sooner or later. You've stayed in this realm for too long."

Huang Quan: "?"

The situation is very wrong right now.

They were completely on different wavelengths, and Huang Quan had no idea how to respond.

"Anran? What kind of bullshit historical problem have you brought up this time?"

【Yutuo, save me!】

"?"

My mount got attacked, what's a cool and imposing response? I need an answer urgently!

"You descended with the momentum to suppress my mount, but that's not the biggest disturbance yet. If you dare to take another step forward, the world will be turned upside down!"

[Hmph, I won't tolerate this. I'll deal with you after I've finished fighting.]
