Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

As the Crimson Emperor gazed into the distance, all he saw was desolate wilderness.

On the high mountain ahead lay a colossal palace forged from flesh and bones.

Countless slaves, under the watchful eyes of lamas and monks, laboriously transported the massive stones and timbers used to build the palace.

Anyone who was even slightly slow in their actions would be whipped until their skin was torn and bleeding.

Those who couldn't hold on were immediately beaten to death, skinned, deboned, and boiled into soup for the other slaves to eat.

This hellish scene is clearly not the reality that Chi Junlin is experiencing.

Rather, it is the past depicted by Gui Danqing with his brush within the scroll.

And since this painting was depicted on Lan Gexing's remains.

This naturally explains that... this scene is something Lan Gexing personally experienced.

At this moment, before the Crimson Lord stood a group of children among slaves.

They were wearing heavy handcuffs and shackles.

Among them was a thin girl with pale, lifeless eyes staring at the palace still under construction in front of her.

Chi Junlin knew that the girl was the young Lan Gexing.

Because everyone in this place has no face.

Only her face was clear and delicate, lifelike as if it were alive in front of me.

Just then, a voice came from beside my ear.

"Lan Gexing's background was not good; her mother was a slave in a foreign country. Therefore, she was also a slave in a foreign country. Generation after generation, forever and ever, she was a slave."

In her childhood, all she could see was a Buddhist palace being built for the Tibetan king.

Countless slaves died during the construction; beneath the Red Mountain Buddhist Palace lies a colossal throne formed from the bones of countless slaves.

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin turned around and saw that the Ghost Fortune Teller had also arrived at this place.

I saw the same painting as myself.

So, is this the hell on earth that the "White Bone Bodhisattva" saw?

The ghost fortune teller gazed at the young Lan Gexing before him, his eyes filled with pity.

But she still had Chi Junlin, and the two of them could do nothing at this moment.

Because what we see before us is just a corner of the picture.

The True Martial Scroll, painted by Gui Danqing himself for Lan Gexing, symbolizes the essence of his life.

However, what Chi Junlin cared about at this moment was not how much martial arts intent Lan Gexing had placed here.

But it's something else.

Looking at Lan Gexing, whose eyes were glazed over, she asked, "So, how exactly did Lan Gexing escape from the vassal state? It's probably impossible for her to do so as a slave, right?"

After Chi Junlin asked the Ghost Fortune Teller this question, the Ghost Fortune Teller did not answer.

Instead, they waited a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Junlin heard a tremendous earthquake.

Turning around, they saw a flash of lightning at the top of the Buddhist palace.

Amidst the dazzling golden light, it seemed as if powerful immortals were engaged in a fierce battle in the clouds.

A man dressed in black is fighting a bloody battle with several lamas whose bodies are covered in gold paint.

The man in black exuded a sinister aura, and his every move carried a powerful presence.

The lamas and monks surrounded the thunder, their every move accompanied by chanting, seemingly capable of stirring up the winds and clouds.

Chi Junlin naturally knew that these were all just Lan Gexing's imagination.

How could anyone in this world truly ascend to heaven and descend to the earth, stirring up the world and changing its color?

For the Lan Ge Xing at that time, lamas and high monks were like celestial beings.

They could easily control the lives and deaths of slaves, which naturally terrified her.

Those who can fight a lama without being at a disadvantage are either legendary demon kings or heretical gods.

As the fight between the men in black and the lamas grew increasingly frenzied, the surrounding slaves scattered and fled.

Lan Gexing and the group of slaves behind him also panicked.

But at this moment, Lan Gexing looked at the man in black and felt that his figure was gradually becoming brighter and more radiant.

It was as if the black mist surrounding him had thinned out a bit.

It seems that in her eyes, this is the only truly powerful and peerless expert.

A loud "ripping" sound.

A Buddha's hand, accompanied by golden blood, crashed heavily to the ground, producing a deafening sound.

Golden blood splattered on Lan Gexing's body.

She witnessed the man in black rip out the lama monk's heart and tear his body apart.

The lama, surrounded by a golden aura, was killed right in front of him.

Young Lan Gexing had no idea what this scene meant.

But in her eyes.

The Buddha is dead.

This is tantamount to reality collapsing and the world being reshaped.

But for some reason, Chi Junlin saw a hint of joy on Lan Gexing's face.

She smiled.

"Born with demonic nature, born a demon child..."

At this moment, the fortune teller softly praised.

The next moment, the man in black also fell from the sky.

When he approached the group of slave children, the others all turned away in fear.

Only Lan Gexing stared intently at the man in black, as if expecting something.

The man in black showed a slight expression of appreciation, but did not take Lan Gexing away immediately.

Instead, he threw a dagger in front of the group of child slaves.

"I only need one."

He said coldly.

While the other children were still watching in fear, Lan Gexing was the first to grasp the dagger in his hand.

At this point, the final outcome was already predetermined.

Chi Junlin was absolutely certain that, regardless of the outcome, Lan Gexing would be the only one among the children to survive.

There's no need to watch the following scenes.

At this moment, the Ghost Fortune Teller looked on with admiration as he watched Lan Gexing, with a smile on his face, slaughter the other slave children one by one.

Then she murmured, "She is the greatest leader of the demonic sect I have ever seen. In terms of talent, demeanor, and spirit, she is the epitome of a ruler."

To work under her is an unparalleled honor!

Hearing the ghost fortune teller say this, Chi Junlin found it strange.

He then said, "Even so, didn't Lan Gexing still refuse to let you join the Demonic Sect?"

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's words, the Ghost Fortune Teller revealed a strange smile.

Then he shook his head.

"No, you're mistaken. It's not that she doesn't want me to join the Demonic Sect... but rather, it's because I can better serve Lan Gexing if I don't join the Demonic Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin's face showed an expression of understanding.

Then he said, "So you had already discussed this beforehand... What exactly was your plan in secret?"

The Ghost Fortune Teller then smiled slightly and continued, "You've been to the Ghost Tower and seen all the experimental records I've kept in the manual. You must think I'm a highly talented and exceptionally brilliant genius in the demonic path, right?"

Chi Junlin thought about it. Although her words sounded somewhat boastful, the truth was indeed as she said.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to create eight strange and grotesque disciples.

Although it may sound inhumane, the talent of the Ghost Fortune Teller is indeed astonishing.

"But what if I told you that I don't actually have that many brilliant ideas, and that everything I've done is based on the theories proposed by Lan Gexing? How would you feel then?"

Upon hearing the Ghost Fortune Teller's words, Chi Junlin immediately showed a surprised expression.

Seemingly satisfied with Chi Junlin's expression at this moment, the Ghost Fortune Teller continued, "The experiments I conducted in Hunan, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Demonic Sect, were actually paving the way for Lan Gexing."

At first, she witnessed countless methods of torture used by lamas and monks beneath the Red Mountain Buddhist Palace. Skinning people to make drums, using heads as bowls, using bones as flutes... it was she who first conceived the idea.

Where does the human soul come from, and where does it go?

Is it possible to modify the human soul through experiments?

Could this lead to the attainment of immortality?

However, these experiments cannot be conducted in the underworld.

Because she was not yet the Demon Lord at that time, there were other enemies and informants within the Demon Sect who would keep a close watch on her at all times.

So she entrusted me to conduct experiments outside. I spent a long time on it, failed many times, but also gained a lot of experience...

Later, when Lan Gexing became the Demon Lord, she assigned Hunan to me, allowing me to study it thoroughly.

This is how the most feasible Eight Eccentrics of Southern Hunan were created... They are also my proudest works.

However, none of these people were of any help to Lan Gexing's pursuit of immortality.

This made her very disappointed in me.

Until the appearance of the Ghost Scholar, we finally saw true hope...

Having heard the fortune teller's explanation, Chi Junlin roughly understood.

What happened next is what I am seeing now.

The Ghost Fortune Teller and Lan Gexing, using some unknown method, discovered a way to modify human consciousness.

Or, in her understanding, it should be about modifying the brain.

In this way, one person's "soul" is forcibly allowed to enter another person's "body".

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain how another ghost fortune teller appeared inside Qiaonu's body.

After all, Chi Junlin did not believe that the concept of a soul truly existed in this world.

The fortune teller believed that this method was feasible and only informed Lan Gexing of the success of the experiment after successfully getting "himself" into Qiao Nu's body.

"So, you want to use this method to constantly change your bodies in order to achieve this false immortality?"

Chi Junlin then asked.

The fortune teller nodded, then shook his head.

Chi Junlin did not understand.

She then continued, "With my talents, this is all I can do. But Lan Gexing is different."

Her brilliant idea led her to another possibility.

"what?"

"She wants to create a perfect body, and then... live in it."

Chi Junlin was stunned when he heard this.

What is a perfect body?

What does "move in" mean?

Seemingly aware of Chi Junlin's doubts, the Ghost Fortune Teller did not answer.
