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

Chapter 110

When she learned that Jiang Chen had given up and was determined to be a thorough villain, The tenth life came to an abrupt halt.

Xiao Hongyi was still looking up at the sky.

It was sunset, and the sky was blood-red.

Her expression remained indifferent, numb, and it took her a long time to realize she was back in reality.

Her beautiful eyes were still empty, but two lines of tears slid down, wetting the red garment on her shoulders.

Jiuyan Sect.

When she first arrived here, she was excited like never before.

This place had her grandfather, the Old Ancestor, and many fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters. She once considered it her home.

Ninth Peak.

Because she was Xiao Hongyi!

Someone who appeared strong on the outside but was always weak and afraid of being alone.

This place was once her haven, her destination, he everything.

But now… this Jiuyan Sect was unbearably glaring to her.

Every corner of Ninth Peak held memories of Jiang Chen being misunderstood and tormented.

Those elders and disciples of Ninth Peak she once considered family now seemed detestable.

In nine lifetimes, these people, including herself, inflicted deep wounds on Jiang Chen.

Time and time again, until Jiang Chen’s eyes lost their light.

Cut after cut again, until her eldest disciple’s heart was riddled with holes.

She, as his master, was the main culprit, unforgivable.

The ensuing guilt, self-blame, and sins made her want to run to Jiang Chen immediately and commit suicide as an apology.

But, she couldn’t do that.

She is a sinner.

Jiang Chen saved her for nine lifetimes, and she hurt Jiang Chen for nine lifetimes. Committing suicide was merely the simplest form of escape.

“I won’t die. I will stay with you forever…” she murmured softly.

Looking towards the direction of the main peak, a towering rage reappeared in her eyes.

For nine lifetimes, she had been helplessly repenting and begging for mercy, yet she was unable to change anything.

She would never experience that feeling of powerlessness again!

“In this life, whoever harms you will die!” Xiao Hongyi declared with murderous intent.

As these words fell, her already striking red clothes suddenly burst into flames of the phoenix.

The flames, even redder in hue, seemed to have a life of their own, swirling around her, sometimes converging and sometimes dispersing, as if sketching something.

Then,

“Screech—”

A several zhang tall female phoenix phantom formed from the phoenix flames, like a phoenix reborn from fire, its wings spreading in an instant and its cry piercing the heavens.

At the same time, the phoenix flames transformed again.

They turned a vivid blood-red, the heat even more intense, as if it could burn the heavens and obliterate the earth, the firelight illuminating the sky for several li around.

“Boom!”

With the phoenix’s cry, a pressure like the wrath of the heavens burst forth from within her, instantly enveloping the entire Jiuyan Sect.

The various peaks of Jiuyan Sect instantly trembled, and the great bells on each peak suddenly rang out simultaneously.

“Dong—”

“Dong—”

The sound of the bells continued, echoing back and forth, sending out countless sound waves.

When everything calmed down, the entire Jiuyan Sect was enveloped in a seven-colored divine light.

This sect-wide defensive formation that was only to be activated during great battles seemed to sense a threat and had activated on its own!

The woman in red still stood in place in front of the Ninth Peak Cloud Soaring Hall, but the two lines of clear tears on her face, unbeknownst to her had turned into blood tears!

“The phoenix weeps blood, its cry shakes the heavens?!”

Two elders from the Ninth Peak exclaimed in horror while trembling all over.

Such a scene they had only read about in books.

It was said that those with the blood of the phoenix could provoke such a celestial phenomenon if they fully activated their bloodline.

But the problem is Xiao Hongyi possesses a Postnatal Phoenix Body, and the blood she merged with was ordinary phoenix blood!

To activate a phoenix body with ordinary phoenix blood like the true blood, there was only one way…

Blood burning!

And the consequence of this act was to completely turn oneself into a vessel for the phoenix blood, losing oneself and acting only on instinct!

Unless one day, the ordinary phoenix blood refines itself into true blood. Otherwise, although alive, one is already dead…

The Ninth Peak Great Elder named Lu Yang was in tears at this moment, beating his chest and stamping his feet, saying, “Peak Master, why do you do this?!”

Xiao Hongyi seemed not to hear him, or perhaps she heard but chose to ignore him.

She lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her foot, and the female phoenix phantom with wings several meters wide transformed into a blaze of fire and headed toward the main peak.

“Peak Master, where are you going?!” Lu Yang called out loudly.

The answer was still silence.

The other elder wiped away his tears and spoke on her behalf: “The Peak Master is likely going to overturn the main peak to save her disciple. She knows that the Supreme Elders will intervene, which is why she ignited her phoenix blood!”

Save her disciple?

Is it her eldest disciple Jiang Chen, or Jiang Lianyue and the other three madmen? Or is it to save them all?

Lu Yang didn’t understand.

In his view, although Xiao Hongyi was biased towards Jiang Chen, she wouldn’t go to such lengths.

But it seemed unnecessary to make such a big fuss if it was to save Jiang Lianyue and the others.

The only thing he was certain of was.

Xiao Hongyi might truly never return from this journey!

“Ring the bell and summon all disciples of the Ninth Peak!” Lu Yang took a deep breath and said.

“What is this for?” the other elder asked, puzzled.

“To save the Peak Master, to save the Ninth Peak!”

Lu Yang was determined, he gritted his teeth, “Although the Peak Master is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, this act will surely start an internal struggle within the sect, which according to the sect rules is an unforgivable crime! And without the Peak Master, without the true disciple, are we, the Ninth Peak, to live under others’ noses?”

His eyes hardened as he took another deep breath, and then he asked loudly:

“The Peak Master has been generous to you, me, and to the disciples of the Ninth Peak. This is a crisis for the Ninth Peak, and as the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses! Do you want to cower here, wringing your hands in regret and being an ungrateful wretch? Or do you want to go with the Peak Master, overturn the main peak, and have a clear conscience regardless of the outcome?!”

“Of course, we go together! If not for the Peak Master, I would have died at the hands of my enemies long ago. It’s time to repay that kindness! It’s just…”

The other elder quickly replied but then hesitated, “If we want to rally the Ninth Peak disciples, we need a justifiable cause, right? After all, this is a life-threatening matter.”

Lu Yang thought it made sense.

But for a moment, he really couldn’t think of a reason.

Jiang Lianyue and the others attacked the main peak to save Jiang Chen.

The three were already mad, so even if they had no reason, no one would hold them accountable.

Xiao Hongyi went to save her disciple, no matter which disciple it was, but that could still be justified.

But what about him and all the other Ninth Peak disciples?

Save Jiang Chen?

That’s a joke, isn’t it? Who doesn’t know that the Ninth Peak has grievances against Jiang Chen?

Save Jiang Lianyue and the others?

This reason also doesn’t hold up. After all, the three are madmen and haven’t caused serious consequences, so they shouldn’t be severely punished.

Save Xiao Hongyi?

This reason is even more far-fetched. After all, Xiao Hongyi hasn’t encountered any trouble yet!

“We will go to save Lu Lin!” Lu Yang said After some thought.

“Lu Lin? Who is Lu Lin?” the other elder was confused.

“How would I know who he is?”

Lu Yang glared, “When he came to me to complain, I only asked for his name, and I was so angry that I couldn’t even remember his face! But this person should be a newly promoted menial disciple of the Ninth Peak, and he was also taken to the main peak!”

“I see, saving him is just a pretext. If the other disciples know that our Ninth Peak would still stand up even for a mere menial disciple, they will be impassioned and resolute!”

“It’s good that you understand. There’s no time to lose, so let’s move quickly!”

“Alright! Grab your weapons and save Lu Lin by overturning the main peak!”
