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

The two were greatly alarmed.

Just before the internal force was about to penetrate their defenses and kill them, it struck.

Suddenly, an extremely strong suction force came from the side.

In an instant, it absorbed all the internal energy poured out by Zizaitian.

Both Zizaitian and Bian Renyao showed surprise.

Obviously, no one expected such a sudden change.

Turn around and look.

But then, from one side of the main hall, a woman dressed in a long black dress slowly emerged from the darkness, holding a set of remains in her arms.

Zizaitian looked puzzled, not quite understanding why she would appear at this time.

The Oni Maiden exclaimed in surprise.

"Ye Qiancao?"

-

"So, is the one who holds the necklace the perfect body chosen by Lan Gexing?"

Upon seeing the white bone Bodhisattva painting that appeared before him, Chi Junlin asked the Ghost Fortune Teller a question.

"You can say that."

The fortune teller nodded.

But Chi Junlin frowned again and continued, "If the so-called perfect body is so easy to create, then why doesn't Lan Gexing do it himself? Why does he have to rely on others?"

"No, you're wrong."

The fortune teller then explained, "The current necklace isn't truly perfect. What Lan Gexing wants is a complex ritual..."

Holding the jade pendant was just the beginning... What she truly wanted was to bring the dead back to life, to heal the wounded and restore flesh to bones... to be reborn from the womb, to live forever... to achieve true perfection.

"We have been preparing for this for many years..."

Seeing the Ghost Fortune Teller's fanatical expression, Chi Junlin remained somewhat noncommittal.

He continued, "But... Lan Gexing's plan isn't to share Chi Yingluo's perfect body, is it?"

"Yes."

"Will I die if I hold a necklace?"

"Yes."

"Then why would she follow your plan?"

Chi Junlin was slightly puzzled, "You... you lied to her?"

"No, Lan Gexing only gave her what she wanted."

At that moment, the fortune teller looked up at the white bone Bodhisattva on the scroll.

She continued, "What she craved was the complete Heavenly Demon Freedom Technique, Lan Gexing's ultimate martial arts, and the Extreme Demon Realm... Lan Gexing did not force Zizaitian to study these things, but simply placed them in front of Zizaitian."

If Zizaitian hadn't so desperately desired the position of Demon Lord, nor wanted to pursue the martial arts legacy left by Lan Gexing, then she wouldn't have fallen into this carefully laid trap.

So in the end, Zizaitian became the one holding the necklace... and also the most important piece in Lan Gexing's plan.

Chi Junlin nodded slightly, "I see... This plan was started many years ago? And Lan Gexing's death was also a trigger..."

The fortune teller smiled and nodded.

"But I still don't understand."

"what?"

"Has Zizaitian not noticed anything amiss all these years? She stepped into this trap, sinking deeper and deeper, yet felt no danger whatsoever?"

The fortune teller then laughed and said, "You know more than she does, and your understanding is more comprehensive. That's why you can sense that this is a trap."

But often, those caught up in it, blinded by enormous profits, will only trust their own judgment and grasp at that one straw to save them.

Chi Junlin understood somewhat, and said, "Is it true that bystanders see things more clearly..."

The fortune teller smiled again, looking somewhat smug.

He was proud of the perfect plan that Lan Gexing had personally devised.

However, Chi Junlin quickly added, "These plans cannot be maintained by you alone. Nor can they be left untouched for many years without any twists and turns."

So, Lan Gexing never truly died. She should be maintaining this dual-soul state, parasitizing another person, just like you, right?

The Ghost Fortune Teller nodded and immediately praised Chi Junlin, "You are very perceptive. You truly deserve the Holy Maiden's high regard."

Chi Junlin remained expressionless.

Then he asked, "So, on whom is she?"

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

Instead, he continued to turn his head to look at the painting in front of him.

At this moment, Chi Junlin noticed that behind the painting in front of him was a dilapidated yet spacious palace of the Earth Palace.

The place where the two of them were standing was a dark void.

Chi Junlin then understood somewhat.

So, at this moment, they are actually standing inside the painting?

As she was thinking about these things, she saw a figure slowly approaching from the Earth Palace in front of her.

Even though there was a painting between them, the other person's figure was clearly visible.

But the sight of a familiar face before Chi Junlin puzzled her.

It turned out to be Wenren Xuan, who had been missing for a long time and whom Chi Junlin had been searching for.

No, it wasn't Wenren Xuan.

Chi Junlin quickly frowned again.

She thought she noticed that the "Wenren Xuan" in front of her had a face and temperament that were very different from the cute girl she remembered.

At this moment, her face was cold and sorrowful, as if she was in pain for some unknown reason.

Chi Junlin suddenly realized that although this woman and Wenren Xuan looked exactly alike, they were completely different people deep down.

So her true identity is...

Ye Qiancao?

-

"Lord Saint..."

When Ye Qiancao appeared in front of everyone, the group of Xuan Nu exclaimed in surprise.

Because the Xuan Nu had served Ye Qiancao more often in the Saintess Pavilion, they were more sensitive to his appearance.

But compared to the goddesses, Bian Renyao and Guiwuji felt nothing but astonishment.

Judging from their experience fighting against Zizaitian just now, Zizaitian is now incredibly powerful.

Even when the two of them joined forces, they couldn't last a single round against Zizaitian.

But the moment Ye Qiancao appeared, that invisible pressure suddenly disappeared.

It's unclear what Ye Qiancao did at that moment.

However, the Yin and Yang energies that Zizaitian had just used, which were carrying murderous intent, were easily neutralized.

Could Ye Qiancao also be a peerless master who has been hiding until now?

At this moment, Zizaitian noticed the skeleton that Ye Qiancao was holding in his arms.

Having worked with the Ghost Fortune Teller for so long, she naturally recognized at a glance that the skeleton before her was Lan Gexing's remains.

But the Supreme Being did not understand.

Why did the ghost fortune teller take away the remains before, but now they've reappeared in Ye Qiancao's hands?

An ominous premonition came over me.

This made her feel that the situation was getting out of control.

Zizaitian frowned slightly and asked Ye Qiancao, "What is the purpose of your visit, Holy Maiden?"

Ye Qiancao, dressed in a black dress, held a skeleton in her arms, yet paid no attention to Zizaitian.

He turned to Bian Renyao and Gui Wuji, his face full of displeasure, and rebuked them, "Bian-kun, Gui-kun. How have I taught you? Is this how you used to fight your enemies?"

Upon hearing this familiar address, both Bian Renyao and Gui Wuji were somewhat dumbfounded.

But the way Ye Qiancao looked at them with such sternness felt so familiar to them.

As far as I can remember, there is only one person who calls them that.

Only one person dared to rebuke him in this way.

"Lan Gexing?"

At this moment, Zizaitian's expression finally changed for the first time.

And at that moment, his expression was almost completely out of control.

She looked at Ye Qiancao with an incredulous expression, then murmured, "No...it's impossible..."

Master, you... you should be dead!

Ye Qiancao, how dare you impersonate Master! You...you have such audacity!

But when Zizaitian questioned him, Ye Qiancao's expression remained unchanged.

He simply looked at Zizaitian with a half-smile.

He continued, "Does the Heavenly Lord really want me dead? Do you think you can... kill me so easily?"

Upon hearing Ye Qiancao's words, Zizaitian's expression twitched.

She was momentarily embarrassed and angry, with only one thought in her mind.

Regardless of whether this Lan Gexing is real or fake, or whether Ye Qiancao is an imposter.

She is a celestial demon who has comprehended the true meaning of the ultimate demon! She is a powerful being who is about to ascend to the position of demon lord!

Even if it were the real Lan Gexing, there would be absolutely no way he could be my opponent!

Upon realizing this, Zizaitian raised his hand without hesitation, gathering his true demonic inner force to fiercely attack Ye Qiancao!

This fierce momentum even stirred up the stone bricks on the ground, carrying an aura of sweeping away everything!

Even Bian Renyao and Gui Wuji, who were far away, could feel the intense killing intent emanating from Zizaitian.

This was her most powerful and profound all-out attack, unleashed in her fury and embarrassment!

But Ye Qiancao stood still, her face remaining expressionless.

However, the remains that Ye Qiancao was holding were brighter than ever before.

It seemed to have become like crystal, shining brightly, under the reflection of Zizaitian's inner power.

Chapter 399 What you hold in your heart will surely come to pass.

Zizaitian firmly believed that with his current power, Ye Qiancao would absolutely not be able to withstand his attacks.

Because she has completely mastered the ultimate Heavenly Demon Freedom Technique.

The martial arts that surpassed Lan Gexing's were a realm that was even more advanced and profound than Lan Gexing's!

The Realm of Extreme Demons!

But what Zizaitian didn't expect was that when she unleashed her powerful internal energy towards Ye Qiancao...

Ye Qiancao did not move at all.

He simply used the remains of Lan Gexing, which he was holding in his arms, to shield himself.

He absorbed all the true demonic internal energy that Zizaitian poured out so easily.

And it made those skeletons crystal clear and sparkling.
