190: Chapter 190 Xiao Nianyin, enraged, falls into demonic possession; the little girl makes her grand entrance.

Xu Ruyu was led by Xiao Nianyin through Dream Induction to transmigrate to this cultivation world; the first woman he had shared intimacy with was Xiao Nianyin.

Although that night was forced, and although Xiao Nianyin had been using and plotting against him from the start, deep down, Xu Ruyu always felt... a trace of complex emotion for her.

It wasn't love, nor was it hate, but a kind of... pity.

He could see that Xiao Nianyin reaching this point today wasn't due to innate evil, but because she had been forced into a dead end step by step by her Cultivation Technique, her environment, and her desires.

He had once thought that if possible, he might be able to give her a hand.

But now...

Looking at the woman who, to achieve her goals, did not hesitate to distort the truth and incite the entire Sect to besiege her savior, Xu Ruyu knew that the Xiao Nianyin who might have once possessed a trace of conscience... was dead.

What remained was merely a Puppet controlled by her Cultivation Technique and obsession.

“Forget it...”

He whispered to himself, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes vanishing.

Since their paths differed, they could not walk together.

Since you want to kill me, then I... will no longer show mercy.

“Senior.”

Xu Ruyu looked up at Ancestor Tianhu, who was currently in a fierce battle with the Four Saints in the air.

“What can I do?”

Ancestor Tianhu responded quickly while fending off attacks:

“Your Fusion method has just taken shape, but it is not yet stable. The most important thing now is self-preservation. Wait until Qingli and I...”

Before she could finish, another change occurred!

Xiao Nianyin suddenly pulled back and formed an extremely strange hand seal!

That seal did not seem like a technique of the Hehuan Sect; instead, it exuded an... extremely sinister and evil aura!

“With my essence blood, I summon your true name—”

Her voice became hoarse and eerie, as if it didn't come from her throat but from the Nine Serenities Hell:

“The ultimate forbidden technique of the Mystic Maidens Sun-Stealing Art—Blood Sacrifice: Heaven Seizure!”

“Pfft—!”

Xiao Nianyin looked up and spat out a mouthful of essence blood!

The essence blood turned into a mist in the air, and within the mist, a hideous ghostly face pattern emerged.

The ghostly face opened its mouth, letting out a silent shriek, and then... began to frantically devour all the life force around it!

The first to be hit were the Golden Core Disciples below the platform!

“Ah—!!!”

Piercing screams rang out!

The life force and spiritual power within dozens of Golden Core Disciples were forcibly extracted, turning into lines of blood that surged into the ghostly face in the air!

Their bodies quickly shriveled, turning into dried corpses as they fell to the ground, dead.

After absorbing this life force, the ghostly face became more solid and even more hideous!

“Sect Master! What are you doing?!” a Nascent Soul Elder cried out in shock and anger.

“Shut up!” A flash of madness crossed Xiao Nianyin's eyes. “What does sacrificing a few Disciples matter to kill the foreign enemies? Once I obtain the Legacy and return to the Great Dao, I will naturally compensate them!”

“You're crazy!” the Elder roared. “This is Demonic Path behavior!”

“Demonic Path? Have you all forgotten that our Hehuan Sect was originally a Demonic Path Sect?” For the first time, a terrifying, miserable smile appeared on Xiao Nianyin's beautiful face.

“As long as I can become stronger, as long as I can reach the Peak, what does the Demonic Path matter? What does the Righteous Path matter? In this world, there is no absolute good or evil, only... strength and weakness!”

As her voice fell, the hand seal in her hands changed again!

The ghostly face suddenly expanded, opening its massive maw and biting down hard... towards Ancestor Tianhu's Divine Thought!

This strike contained all the life force and spiritual power of dozens of Golden Core Disciples; its power had already surpassed the scope of the Early Saint Realm!

Ancestor Tianhu's expression became solemn for the first time.

“Xiao Yinzi, you have indeed... fallen into demonhood.”

She took a deep breath, and the nine-tailed phantom behind her suddenly contracted, turning into a nine-colored sphere of light floating in front of her.

“Tianhu Forbidden Art: Nine Tails as One!”

The nine-colored sphere of light shone brilliantly and slammed head-on into the ghostly face!

“Boom—!!!”

An even more terrifying explosion!

The entire Law Execution Platform area was blasted into a deep pit over a hundred feet in diameter!

Amidst the swirling dust, Ancestor Tianhu's Divine Thought phantom shook violently, clearly having suffered a heavy blow.

As for Xiao Nianyin, although her face was pale and blood leaked from the corner of her mouth, the madness in her eyes grew even stronger:

“Ancestor Tianhu, you are just a Divine Thought, you are no match for me! Hand over Xu Ruyu, and I can let your soul depart!”

“In your dreams.”

Ancestor Tianhu gritted her teeth and held on, the nine-colored sphere of light brightening once more.

But anyone could see that she was at the end of her rope.

After all, she was just a Divine Thought with limited power. Meanwhile, the forbidden technique Xiao Nianyin used came at the cost of dozens of Disciples' lives, and its power was terrifyingly immense.

“In that case... then don't blame me!”

Killing intent surged in Xiao Nianyin's eyes as she was about to activate the forbidden technique again—

“Enough.”

A calm voice suddenly rang out.

It wasn't Ancestor Tianhu, it wasn't Lady Qingli, and it wasn't Xu Ruyu.

It was an... ethereal and youthful voice that Xiao Nianyin had never heard before.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time, looking in the direction the voice came from.

At the edge of the Law Execution Platform, a... Little Girl who looked only seven or eight years old had appeared at some unknown time.

Her snow-white hair hung down to her ankles, her skin was like jade, and her features were so exquisite she didn't seem real.

She wore a simple white dress and was barefoot, floating in the air with a string of silver bells tied around her ankle.

Right now, she was tilting her head, looking at Xiao Nianyin curiously, a kind of depth that seemed to see through everything flickering in her amber eyes.

“Xiao Yinzi,”

The Little Girl spoke, her voice as crisp as silver bells:

“Have you had enough trouble?”

Xiao Nianyin was stunned, then flew into a rage:

“Where did this little brat come from, daring to address me by my name?! Get lost!”

The entire field fell into a deathly silence.

Ancestor Tianhu opened her mouth as if to say something, but it ultimately turned into a sigh.

And that snow-haired Little Girl, upon hearing these words, was first taken aback, and then...

She laughed.

The smile was bright and playful.

But in those amber eyes, a trace of... coldness flashed.

“Xiao Yinzi...”

She softly repeated the name, then slowly floated in front of Xiao Nianyin:

“Did your Master never teach you... to respect your teachers and ancestors?”

Xiao Nianyin frowned:

“What do you mean?”

“I mean—”

The Little Girl tilted her head, her smile becoming even more radiant:

“By seniority, you should call me... Grand Ancestral Mistress.”

As her voice fell, she reached out her finger and lightly tapped Xiao Nianyin's forehead.

“Buzz—!!!”

Xiao Nianyin's whole body shook violently, as if struck by lightning!
