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

Chapter 122

After the lecture ended, Sect Master Gu Changqing re-entered the sect’s prison to be punished.

However, Jiuyan Old Ancestor, considering his ‘enlightenment’, reduced his sentence from over a month to half a month.

In the following days, the Jiuyan Sect was extremely ‘peaceful’.

Jiang Chen was still tightly held by Xiao Hongyi, suffering yet enjoying it.

Besides that, every day, elders and disciples from various peaks of the Jiuyan Sect would come, ignoring the situation inside the Peak Master’s pavilion and only showing concern and comfort to Jiang Chen.

Driven mad by these lunatics, Jiang Chen called Lin Mubai back, instructing him to stand guard in front of the Cloud Soaring Hall, forbidding anyone to enter, and to chop anyone who dared!

Afterward, the front of the Cloud Soaring Hall was graced with the figure of a wild man wielding a machete.

The wild man would sometimes cry, sometimes laugh, sometimes sigh while looking at the sky, and sometimes exude a murderous aura, saying, “Eldest Senior Brother has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility! Even if the Old Ancestor comes, I will not hesitate to chop him!”

Then, the Old Ancestor really came.

And then, there was now the figure of a wild man in the sect’s prison!

“Let me out!! Eldest Senior Brother can’t do without me, he needs me!” The wild man tried to escape every day, wailing like a ghost or a wolf, his voice lasting all day long.

A few days passed.

Gu Changqing couldn’t stand it anymore and also shouted, “Let me out! I’m going to be driven mad by this wild man!!”

……

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Gu Changqing was ‘released upon completion of his sentence’, and it was said that at the moment he left the sect’s prison, he was moved to tears.

During this time, a simple great hall had been erected next to the platform of the Jiuyan Sect’s Second Peak.

The hall had no doors or windows and was built with ordinary stone bricks, covering less than half an acre.

The plaque hanging above the hall’s entrance was a bit crooked, with the words “Sect Master’s Hall (Temporary)” inscribed on it.

Around the Sect Master’s Hall, similarly dilapidated houses were constructed.

Occasionally, elders and disciples from the original main peak would emerge from them, covering their faces and crying.

It was unclear what they were crying about…

“Endure it. This place is the residence of the Supreme Elders. If the Sect Master’s Hall and the houses were built too luxuriously, wouldn’t it overshadow the hosts?”

A certain main peak elder consoled his disciple.

At noon that day, several young men dressed in the robes of the Ancient Pill Tower’s pill refiners entered the Jiuyan Sect with proud expressions.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the main peak that had been overturned.

Filled with deep questions, after some inquiries, they arrived in front of the temporarily established Sect Master’s Hall, all speechless and rubbing their eyes!

“Could it be that the Jiuyan Sect was invaded by an external enemy?” one of the young men guessed.

“That’s the only possibility!” another young man replied.

“The main peak of the Jiuyan Sect has been flipped over. It must be a powerful enemy! Could it be that the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect personally took action?”

“It must be so, but why hasn’t my Ancient Pill Tower received any news?”

“Perhaps the Jiuyan Sect is ashamed and deliberately hiding the news?”

“It’s possible! The Myriad Dao Demon Sect is a great enemy of the righteous path! It is said that recently, the Myriad Dao Demon Sect found a woman with the Xuan Ming demonic body. If this woman grows up, she will surely bring disaster to the Central Domain! We must be on guard!”

“These matters are not for us to worry about; let’s quickly complete the Great Elder’s orders and bring back Ma Wu’s ashes.”

After the exchange, the disciples of the Ancient Pill Tower entered the Sect Master’s Hall.

But in just a few moments, they all came out again, red-faced with anger! The ashes of Ma Wu had been stolen?

Even though this was personally stated by the Jiuyan Sect’s Sect Master Gu Changqing, they found it unbelievable!

Who would steal ashes?

The ashes can neither be eaten nor used for cultivation, so why steal them?

The leader of the Ancient Pill Tower’s youth group was Xiao Shan, a true disciple of the Ancient Pill Tower.

Unlike the Jiuyan Sect, the Ancient Pill Tower had only about a dozen elders, whose status was equivalent to the Peak Masters of the Jiuyan Sect’s various peaks.

The first disciples of these elders were the true disciples of the Ancient Pill Tower.

Xiao Shan was the first disciple of the Ancient Pill Tower’s Great Elder, not only a true disciple but also the number one true disciple of the Ancient Pill Tower.

“It must be Jiang Chen’s doing!”

Xiao Shan analyzed as he calmed down, “Ma Wu’s death was mysterious, and he died at the hands of Jiang Chen. I suspect that Jiang Chen not only killed and crushed the bones but also wanted to scatter the ashes! Such an act is utterly heartless and inhumane!”

“The disciples of my Pill Pavilion in Lingshan Town were also tragically killed one after another. This must also be related to Jiang Chen! We should go and accuse Jiang Chen of his crimes!” his companion said angrily.

“How can we accuse him without evidence?”

Xiao Shan shook his head, helpless, “Moreover, Ma Wu was an elder of the Jiuyan Sect, and Jiang Chen is a disciple of the Jiuyan Sect. How could it be our place to accuse him?”

“That makes sense, so should we just return empty-handed?”

“No, let’s first find Li Fadu! He was very close to Ma Wu and also in charge of the Jiuyan Sect’s Hall of Enforcement. He must also be harboring anger!”

“…But as far as I know, the Hall of Enforcement was also located on the main peak, and now that the main peak of the Jiuyan Sect has been destroyed, where should we go to find him?”

“Sword Peak! Don’t forget that Li Fadu is also an elder of Sword Peak.”

“Indeed, Senior Brother is wise.”

A moment later, as Xiao Shan had predicted, they indeed found Li Fadu carving with his sword at the foot of Sword Peak.

“Elder Li, I am Xiao Shan, a true disciple of the Ancient Pill Tower,” Xiao Shan greeted him with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Fadu didn’t even turn his head.

Xiao Shan frowned, but he could only wait patiently.

After all, he knew that sword cultivators often used this method of ‘carving with the sword’ to forge their own sword intent.

“Senior Brother, Li Fadu’s aura is unstable and his cultivation has fallen. It seems like his Core Formation collapsed and was rebuilt, and now he only has the cultivation of Core Formation Initial Formation!” his companion noticed something unusual.

“Ah, I too have noticed this too,” sighed Xiao Shan while shaking his head.

“According to Master, Li Fadu is an upright and honest person. It seems he must have engaged in a fierce battle with the invading demonic path! He truly is a role model for us all!”

“Indeed, it’s truly admirable. It’s just that the Jiuyan Sect’s secrecy is too good. Even we at the Ancient Pill Tower didn’t receive any news.”

“No matter, we can report back once we return. For now, let’s wait patiently.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying ‘yes’, and spoke no further.

Although Li Fadu’s cultivation has fallen, his comprehension of the Way of the Sword remains.

Even though it’s just the simple act of using the sword to carve the wall, one can feel the chilling his sword intent.

“Although we do not understand the sword, if we observe carefully, it can greatly benefit our own cultivation,” Xiao Shan quickly reminded everyone.

Hearing this, the disciples of the Ancient Pill Tower immediately held their breath and began to observe carefully.

Li Fadu’s sword moved in his hand as if it were a pen, flowing freely, and as he brought it down, it was as if he was aided by the gods, emitting a dazzling sword light.

Soon, he carved two characters on the flat stone wall that seemed to soar and dance like dragons and phoenixes.

Jiang Chen!

Seeing these two characters, Xiao Shan nodded in appreciation and sighed inwardly: ‘This Li Fadu, true to a life dedicated to the righteous path, has earned Master’s endless praise as a paragon of justice! Even with his cultivation diminished, he still reminds himself to stand resolutely against Jiang Chen!’

After carving the name Jiang Chen, Li Fadu did not rest.

“Ha!”

With a loud shout, he leaped several meters high, waving his ancient silver sword in the air, and from above, he slashed down several Sword Qis, switching to using Sword Qi to carve the wall!

Seeing this, the admiration in Xiao Shan’s eyes deepened.

He thought that Li Fadu was unable to restrain his ‘heart of justice’, and the next characters he would carve would likely be ‘kill’ or ‘punish’!

Soon, Li Fadu landed on the ground, and with a flash of sword light, he sheathed his sword and smiled with satisfaction.

But looking at the two large characters just carved, Xiao Shan couldn’t stop rubbing his eyes.

Only when he was sure he wasn’t seeing things did he exclaim in astonishment: “Re… Reform?!”

At this moment, he was dumbfounded.
