After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 10

Xiao Hongyi was completely dumbfounded!

In fact, she had been monitoring everything with her divine sense from the moment Ma Wu appeared at the entrance of Ninth Peak.

She knew all too well that many disciples and elders harbored extreme disdain for Jiang Chen, and she worried that Jiang Chen might lose control and do something outrageous.

But the outcome… It wasn’t Jiang Chen who made a move!

It was Jiang Lianyue!

Although it was just one move, each Sword Qi was aimed directly at the vitals, leaving no room for mercy.

This was right in front of the gates of Ninth Peak inside the Jiuyan Sect.

Even if Jiang Lianyue and Ma Wu had a great feud, they shouldn’t have fought here.

Ma Wu was an elder of a peak, and Jiang Lianyue would not escape punishment even if she had the potential of an empress if he were killed!

After all, the potential of an empress is important, but the sect’s rules are the foundation of the sect’s establishment. They are not to be trifled with.

With a wave of her sleeve, the several streaks of Icy Sword Qi dissipated on their own, and Xiao Hongyi voiced the thoughts of everyone present:

“Lianyue, have you gone mad!?”

“Mad?”

Jiang Lianyue was not surprised by her master’s arrival. Her expression went from indifferent to uncontrollably emotional in a second, and she yelled as if she’s mad.

“It’s not me who’s mad, it’s this world!!”

“…”

Xiao Hongyi was speechless.

Mad, she had really gone mad…

Jiang Chen was also stunned!

At first glance, these words indeed sounded like the ravings of a mad person!

But why?

He didn’t believe that his Fifth Junior Sister was so fragile that merely being seen by him could cause her rationality to collapse and plunge her into madness.

“Step aside.”

Jiang Lianyue’s voice returned to its cold tone as she stared directly at Xiao Hongyi.

Those two simple words sent a shiver through Xiao Hongyi’s heart.

She heard a threat, and she also felt… Murderous intent!

An unmistakable, cold murderous intent!

“Do you intend to strike me if I don’t step aside?”

Xiao Hongyi couldn’t believe it.

Her answer was the Ice Jade Cold Sword.

The cold sword trembled, absorbing the chill from its surroundings and blossoming with clusters of blue ice flowers.

The ice flowers fell from the sword, landing on the ground and gathering at Jiang Lianyue’s feet.

They continued to extend, overlap, and bloom until they finally merged into one, forming a massive blue ice flower that lifted Jiang Lianyue up.

Standing atop the ice flower, Jiang Lianyue’s beautiful eyes were vacant, as if they contained countless twinkling stars.

A profound and majestic aura emerged from within her.

Under the influence of this aura, the world transformed momentarily.

The green grass and plants bowed down, ancient tree branches swayed, ice and snow melted, and the earth trembled.

Disciples with lower cultivation levels were immersed in the aura, their minds affected.

They felt an urge to worship Jiang Lianyue after looking at her standing on the blue ice flower.

Jiang Chen had a feeling. At this moment, Jiang Lianyue was like an empress, looking down upon the world.

And the blue ice flower beneath her feet was like the throne of an empress!

“Have you truly gone mad!? To unlock the imperial essence within you, intending to self-destruct? That’s the foundation of your path to becoming an empress!!”

Xiao Hongyi was so shocked that her face turned pale.

Specifically, the difference in cultivation talent between Jiang Chen and Jiang Lianyue was negligible.

The most direct evidence was the small gap in their cultivation levels. Before his Core Formation was destroyed, Jiang Chen was even a realm ahead of Jiang Lianyue.

However, the reason Jiang Lianyue could assume the posture of an empress was not due to talent but because she was born with a congenital imperial essence within her!

Once unlocked, it carried a hint of the imperial might.

If the imperial essence were to self-destruct, Xiao Hongyi could still resist, but Ma Wu would undoubtedly be the first to die under the imperial might!

All the lower realm disciples of the Jiuyan Sect would have their souls annihilated in an instant!

Even those in the Core Formation Realm would hardly survive if they didn’t have the talent and foundation like Jiang Chen—one in ten at best! And afterward, Jiang Lianyue would also end up a cripple due to the dispersion of her imperial essence and the collapse of her Dao foundation!

“Lianyue, stop now! There’s still time!”

Xiao Hongyi shouted anxiously.

Jiang Chen watched coldly from the sidelines, his expression indifferent.

The Jiuyan Sect?

Even if it were destroyed, he felt no emotional fluctuation.

After nine cycles of reincarnation, this sect gave him no sense of belonging.

If it weren’t for his master being here and the protagonist coming to this place to become a disciple, he would have left the sect long ago in this life.

Under the imperial might, even cultivators of the higher realms could only protect themselves.

Although Jiang Chen was in the Core Formation Realm, the Jiang family was a thousand-year-old family, and he happened to have an item that could resist the imperial might.

Only Xiao Hongyi knew about this.

After nine cycles of reincarnation, the junior brothers and sisters would gradually come to know, but that was a story for later.

As long as Xiao Hongyi and he were unharmed, he didn’t care even if the entire Jiuyan Sect was destroyed!

Gradually, the majestic aura grew denser, and the imperial essence showed signs of exploding.

Xiao Hongyi was so anxious that her mind was in chaos. Seeing that Jiang Lianyue had no intention of stopping, she could only laugh at herself.

What a failure of a master I am.

Jiang Chen refused to change and was gradually deviating from the right path.

Jiang Lianyue had boundless prospects, yet for some reason, she fell into madness, and now she was even willing to self-destruct her imperial essence and become a cripple just to kill someone!

A sense of powerlessness arose.

Xiao Hongyi floated off the ground and went straight to Jiang Lianyue.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, “Lianyue, I don’t know what you’ve been through. But I can’t stand by and watch you become a cripple and the Jiuyan Sect turn into a sea of blood. I’ve removed all my defenses. If you insist on this, then let your master go first.”

As her voice fell, the imperial might seemed to pause for a moment. But it was just for an instant, and then it returned to normal.

Clearly, Jiang Lianyue had given her answer.

Even if it meant killing her master, she was determined to kill!

At this point, she wanted more than just Ma Wu’s life. She wanted to turn the Jiuyan Sect into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

It was sensing this murderous intent that Xiao Hongyi had removed her defenses, to stop her with her own life.

“Boom——!”

The imperial might vibrated, and the alarm bell of the Jiuyan Sect’s main peak rang out suddenly as if sensing a crisis for the sect.

Several streaks of light shot out from the main peak, rushing over.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongyi shook her head helplessly.

It’s useless.

Even if the Jiuyan Sect Old Ancestor were to break through his seclusion, he could only protect a few peaks from being affected if Jiang Lianyue was determined to self-destruct the imperial essence.

Today, a great disaster looms over the Jiuyan Sect!

“As a master, I have truly failed.”

Xiao Hongyi resigned herself to fate, closing her eyes in despair.

Just as the imperial might was causing heaven and earth to tremble and the aura of death enveloped the entire Jiuyan Sect…

“Jiang Lianyue, you lunatic! Stop it right now!!”

Jiang Chen roared in anger.

“I don’t care if you destroy the Jiuyan Sect, but take a good look!”

“Before you, stand your master!”

“Master cannot die, at least not in front of me! If you kill her, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and make sure you are buried with her!”

“So stop it right now!”

He was truly frantic.

Although he had witnessed Xiao Hongyi’s death more than once, it was always after his own death.

Lin Feng was the son of destiny, the darling of this world.

He killed Xiao Hongyi, and Jiang Chen tried to save her nine times, always ending in failure.

This time, he had finally seen a glimmer of hope, but was he to just watch as Xiao Hongyi died in front of him?

He would never allow such a thing to happen!!!

Hearing this, Xiao Hongyi turned back and looked at Jiang Chen with indulgent eyes.

Her disciple, although straying further from the righteous path, was truly concerned about her at this moment.

But alas…

How could Jiang Lianyue possibly heed Jiang Chen’s words?

Huh?

Just as the thought crossed her mind, Xiao Hongyi suddenly opened her eyes!

Because that unshakable imperial might was actually slowly dissipating into the heavens and earth under Jiang Chen’s screams.
