32: The female protagonist who changed her path to ruthlessness 1

【This World Mission Plot Introduction】:

In her previous life, the female lead Su Meng had her Luck stolen by the villainess Junior Sister Ruo Yan, who also monopolized the affection of all the Senior Brothers.

Ultimately, she met a tragic end, suffering humiliation and a brutal death.

Upon Rebirth, she returned precisely to the moment Ruo Yan had just entered the Huanggu Sect.

At this time, the villainess Ruo Yan's influence was not yet established.

It was the perfect opportunity to expose her trick of 'tampering with others' perception' and cut off the root of the problem.

But Su Meng chose not to.

She turned a blind eye to Ruo Yan's treachery.

Instead, she attributed all her suffering to her Senior Brothers' 'insufficient devotion'.

She then declared her intention to sever 'small love' and Cultivate the Ruthless Dao, vowing to embrace 'great love' for all living beings.

However, this so-called 'great love' was merely a facade to avoid her problems.

She ignored the immediate source of trouble, yet blamed the Senior Brothers whose minds had been misled.

She pushed all her misfortunes onto others, lacking even the courage to actively resist the villain.

Even more absurdly, the Senior Brothers' realization of their mistakes relied entirely on 'dreaming'.

They successively dreamed of how they would torture and kill Su Meng in the future.

They then, based on the ridiculous reason that 'Cultivators don't have random dreams', firmly believed the dreams were true.

From then on, they took turns suffering misfortunes, eventually coming to a sudden realization.

Meanwhile, Su Meng had already turned and left the Huanggu Sect to venture out.

The male supporting characters she met along the way were all inexplicably dumbed down.

They mindlessly flocked to her and showered her with praise.

Later, the Huanggu Sect gradually declined.

Sect Master Qin Jiuge humbled himself and knelt, begging Su Meng to return.

Yet, she showed no gratitude for the Sect's past nurturing.

Her attitude was extremely arrogant, not even bothering to give him a proper glance.

It wasn't until the Huanggu Sect was completely destroyed by her enemies from her previous life that Su Meng, already the strongest in this world, arrived late and casually killed the Sect-destroying enemy.

It wasn't until the Huanggu Sect was completely destroyed by her enemies from her previous life that Su Meng, already the strongest in this world, arrived late and casually killed the Sect-destroying enemy.

Despite indifferently observing the Sect's demise,

she easily gained a stellar reputation through this final act of 'eliminating enemies'.

The female lead had truly ingrained hypocrisy into her bones.

【End of this World Plot Introduction】

【This Mission: Soul Transmigration as Sect Master, leading the Huanggu Sect to power】

【And expose the hypocritical true face of the female lead Su Meng, thoroughly slapping her face】

Qin Jiuge's face broke into an uncontainable smile.

“Interesting, let's begin.”

...When Qin Jiuge opened his eyes, he had already received the memories of the Huanggu Sect's Sect Master.

Three hundred years of Cultivation, at the Peak of the Void Tempering realm, only a step away from Mahayana.

However, the Sect was gradually declining, and the Disciples' Aptitude was mediocre.

Only a few direct Disciples were somewhat accomplished, with Su Meng being the most outstanding.

Qin Jiuge rose from the Sect Master's throne, flicked his sleeve, and his figure appeared outside the Huanggu Sect's main hall.

It was early morning, with the rising sun, and hundreds of Disciples were practicing on the Sect square.

In front of the crowd, a white-robed maiden was practicing swordplay with her eyes closed.

Her sword light was like snow, and her posture was as graceful as a startled swan.

This drew frequent glances from the surrounding Disciples.

It was indeed the female lead Su Meng.

Not far from her, stood a timid-looking maiden in pink.

She was carefully serving tea and water to several Senior Brothers.

A hint of undetectable smugness flashed in her eyes.

The villainess Ruo Yan.

Qin Jiuge swept his Divine Thought and immediately saw through the true nature of the two.

Su Meng indeed had the Soul fluctuations of a Rebirth cultivator within her.

Her aura was unstable, clearly indicating she had only recently undergone Rebirth.

As for Ruo Yan, a strange 'Cognitive Distortion' Law was entwined around her.

Though faint, it slowly permeated like a poisonous vine, affecting the minds of those around her.

“The art of altering cognition is indeed rare.”

Qin Jiuge chuckled.

“But before me, it's child's play.”

Qin Jiuge first surveyed the entire Huanggu Sect.

The Mountain-protecting Formation was incomplete.

Most of the Spiritual Vein had dried up.

Half of the ancient texts in the Scripture Pavilion were lost.

The Pill Refining Room didn't even have a decent Pill Furnace.

Most ridiculously, apart from him, the Sect Master, being in the Void Tempering realm,

the strongest Elders were only at Nascent Soul, and the Disciples were a mixed bag.

“Such a dilapidated place, no wonder it was destroyed in the previous life.”

Qin Jiuge shook his head.

Just then, Su Meng suddenly retracted her sword, her gaze cold as she looked in Ruo Yan's direction, and declared loudly:

“All Senior Brothers, I have decided to change to Cultivate the Ruthless Dao from today onwards.”

“Severing worldly affections, wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao, and harboring great love for all living beings.”

Upon hearing this, the entire crowd was in an uproar.

Several direct Disciples looked puzzled.

Great Master Lu Ming frowned and said:

“Junior Sister, why do you suddenly have such a thought?”

“The path of Cultivation, gradual progress is the Righteous Path.”

“The Ruthless Dao is extremely perilous; a slight mistake could lead to the collapse of one's Dao Heart.”

Su Meng, however, sneered:

“My mind is made up. After all, within this Sect, I have already clearly seen,”

“The so-called camaraderie is but a reflection in the water, easily dispersed.”

Her words were pointed.

The Senior Brothers immediately showed expressions of shame.

In recent days, they had indeed shown much care to the newly arrived Junior Sister Ruo Yan, but had overlooked Su Meng's feelings.

The villainess Ruo Yan seized the opportunity to step forward, her eyes slightly red:

“Senior Sister Su, have I done something wrong?”

“If it's because of me, I... I can leave...”

“Yan'er, don't talk nonsense!”

Second Senior Brother Li Feng immediately protected Ruo Yan.

“This has nothing to do with you; it's Junior Sister Su's own stubborn nature.”

A hint of mockery flashed in Su Meng's eyes, and she turned to leave.

“Stop.”

The voice was not loud, yet it resonated like thunder throughout the entire square.

Qin Jiuge took a step, arriving at the center of the square.

The Sect Master's pressure naturally emanated, and all the Disciples bowed in unison:

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

Su Meng's body stiffened, and she slowly turned, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.

In her previous life, this Master had not helped her when she was wronged.

Although he did not participate in the persecution, he watched indifferently.

She had no goodwill towards him in her heart.

“Master.”

She reluctantly saluted.

Qin Jiuge stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze like lightning sweeping over Su Meng:

“You said you want to Cultivate the Ruthless Dao?”

“Yes.”

Su Meng looked up, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

“This Disciple's mind is made up.”

“Good.”

Qin Jiuge nodded.

“Since your mind is made up, this Venerable One permits it.”

Everyone was astonished, even Su Meng was stunned.

Qin Jiuge continued:

“However, Cultivating the Ruthless Dao is not as simple as you imagine.”

“To sever affections, one must first begin with those closest to them.”

“Your parents are still in the mortal world.”

“First, go and sever ties with them, then return to receive the Ruthless Dao Mind-Cultivation Technique.”

Su Meng's face paled:

“This...”

“What, you can't bear to?”

Qin Jiuge sneered.

“If you can't even sever the grace of birth and upbringing, what Ruthless Dao are you talking about?”

“It's merely an excuse to shirk your Sect responsibilities.”

“I didn't!”

Su Meng retorted, gritting her teeth.

“Didn't?”

Qin Jiuge reached out, and an ancient book flew from the distant Scripture Pavilion into his hand.

“The 'Records of Supreme Forgetfulness', the true supreme Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Ruthless Dao.”

“The first step of this Dao is to sever all Karma.”

“Parents, Sect, grievances must all be completely cut off.”

“If you truly have the resolve, descend the mountain now.”

“Sever ties with your parents, then return to receive your punishment.”

Su Meng's face grew even paler.

How could she possibly sever ties with her parents?

In her previous life, her parents remained loyal to her even in her lowest moments, ultimately dying tragically because of her.

Although she hadn't visited them after her Rebirth, she had secretly sent people to deliver Medicinal Pills and money.

If she truly followed what her Master said, that would be truly unfilial.

“It seems your so-called 'great love' is nothing but a selfish cover-up.”

Qin Jiuge hit the nail on the head:

“Unwilling to face the real problems, afraid to confront Ruo Yan directly,”

“Yet you vent your resentment on your Senior Brothers, and still try to put on an aloof facade.”

“Su Meng, you have disappointed this Venerable One greatly.”

These words were like sharp swords, piercing through all of Su Meng's disguises.

She trembled all over, wanting to retort, but couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, Qin Jiuge had already turned to Ruo Yan.

“As for you—”

His gaze was like a knife, directly piercing Ruo Yan's Divine Soul.

“You dare to show off your petty tricks in front of this Venerable One?”

Ruo Yan was greatly alarmed, subconsciously retreating, but found herself unable to move.

Qin Jiuge raised his hand and made a grabbing motion, and a wisp of gray mist was forcibly extracted from Ruo Yan's body.

It twisted and struggled in the air, emitting a silent shriek.

“A fragment of the Cognitive Distortion Law, no wonder it could subtly influence others' minds.”

Qin Jiuge sneered.

“But such a trivial trick, and you dare to act wildly in my Huanggu Sect?”

With that, he clenched his five fingers, and the gray mist instantly shattered, dissipating into specks of starlight.

Almost simultaneously, several Senior Brothers around them trembled, their eyes shifting from confusion to clarity.

“W-what just happened to me?”

Li Feng rubbed his forehead, looking at Ruo Yan with vigilance.

“This woman is strange!”

“She used evil arts on me!”

Lu Ming even drew his sword directly, pointing it at Ruo Yan.

Ruo Yan's face was ashen, and she collapsed to the ground.

Qin Jiuge, however, was not in a hurry to deal with her.

Instead, he turned to face all the Disciples, his voice like a grand bell:

“From today onwards, the Huanggu Sect will undergo a complete reform.”

“This Venerable One has been in secluded Cultivation for a hundred years, comprehending the Supreme Dao, and has now successfully emerged.”

“From now on, the Huanggu Sect will no longer be a small Sect that can be bullied by anyone!”

He raised a finger, and a golden light shot into the core of the Mountain-protecting Formation.

In an instant, the entire Huanggu Sect shook, the Spiritual Vein revived, and Spiritual Qi surged like a tide.

The damaged Formation was instantly repaired, and its defense was enhanced tenfold on its original foundation.

“This, this is...”

An Elder was dumbfounded.

“The Spiritual Vein has been reborn?”

“More than that.”

Qin Jiuge waved his hand again, and the Scripture Pavilion direction glowed brightly.

“This Venerable One has completed all lost ancient texts and added three thousand Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques and ten thousand Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques.”

“From today onwards, all Disciples can exchange them based on their contributions, and everyone can Cultivate high-level Cultivation Techniques!”

The entire square was silent, then erupted into earth-shattering cheers.

Qin Jiuge then looked towards the Pill Refining Room, and with a casual grab,

a Pill Furnace exuding an ancient aura flew through the air and landed in the center of the square.

“The Nine Revolutions Universe Furnace, capable of refining Immortal Pills.”

With another wave of his hand, hundreds of bottles of Medicinal Pills rained down, accurately falling into the hands of each Disciple.

“Marrow Cleansing Pills, capable of improving Aptitude.”

“This is this Venerable One's welcoming gift to you.”

The Disciples took the Medicinal Pills, feeling the immense medicinal power within them, and many were so excited that tears streamed down their faces.

Su Meng stood dazed, watching everything before her, her mind in chaos.

This isn't right... In her previous life, Master wasn't that strong.

The Huanggu Sect also continued to decline until it was finally destroyed.

Every word Master said just now hit her sore spot.

It was as if he saw through all her disguises.

Did her Rebirth cause a butterfly effect?

It must be, how infuriating...
