Chapter 358 Public Wrath

"Hahahahahaha..."

Lin Qingran suddenly tilted her head back and burst into a shrill, maniacal laugh, as if she were about to vomit out all her resentment and venom.

Those once bright and sparkling eyes were now bloodshot, staring intently at Hua Buxiu and the others.

The laughter stopped abruptly, so quickly it was heart-stopping.

She slowly rose, her expression instantly turning cold, her gaze like a poisoned needle tempered with ice, carrying a near-destructive madness, as she pierced the eighteen silent men.

“Hua Buxiu…” Her voice suddenly became low and hoarse, yet every word was piercing, “You just stand by and watch… let her humiliate me like this?”

She paused slightly, a twisted sorrow appearing on her blood-stained lips, only to be quickly swallowed up by ruthlessness.

"All those past relationships... have you really... disregarded even the slightest bit of our past affection?!"

mutual affection.

These two words were like the sharpest irony, causing all eighteen men to suddenly frown, the gloom that had been building up in their eyes instantly freezing into ice.

What kind of affection is there?

It was those seemingly delicate hands that manipulated their souls like puppeteers, showing them such deep affection.

It was the bond between her and that evil being that, with a casual command, caused them to lose their dignity and be forced to submit.

It was still those countless days and nights, like invisible shackles binding their consciousness, making them unable to live or die... the bond they shared?!

"mutual affection?"

A chilling killing intent suddenly erupted from Feng Huixue's body, and the malevolent aura in the corners of her eyes almost solidified, surging like black mist.

A soft, shallow chuckle escaped his lips, but the laugh was filled with a hatred that seeped into his very bones.

"How did you and that evil creature manipulate our feelings like puppets?"

He took a step forward, his voice suddenly rising in pitch, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, each word piercing the heart.

"Should I now recount all the dirty and despicable things you've done, every single one of them, in front of everyone in these two realms and three domains, clearly and plainly?!"

Before he could finish speaking, his exquisite features twitched violently from the intense pain of his soul being forcibly touched once again, and veins bulged on his forehead.

It felt as if invisible threads were cutting into his brain, causing his upright figure to sway almost imperceptibly.

Hua Buxiu and the others also turned deathly pale, as if all the blood had been drained from their faces in an instant.

The struggle in their eyes could no longer be concealed; it was a painful distortion of consciousness wanting to resist but being tightly imprisoned by invisible shackles.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that what Feng Huixue said is true!

This question was like pouring ice water into a boiling oil pan, instantly creating a huge wave among the cultivators of the two realms and three domains!

All the cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and their horrified gazes all turned to Lin Qingran.

Controlling the soul?

Lin Qingran actually controlled the souls of Fengyi Sword Master and the others?!

Is there some evil force behind her that can control so many top-tier experts?!

After a brief silence, countless old stories that had been forcibly suppressed and defied logic exploded in everyone's minds like lit fuses, stringing together a chilling truth!

The sympathy and pity I felt earlier were completely replaced by a chilling feeling that sent shivers down my spine.

"No wonder!" An elder of the Eternal Sect slapped his thigh, his voice trembling with excitement. "Our Emperor was determined to suppress the evil spirit of the Void Ancient Realm with his own body, but the next moment he seemed to be a different person and nodded in agreement to Lin Qingran's absurd and unreasonable request!"

"So...so it turns out I had no choice in the matter!"

Xiu Yan gasped in shock, his eyes filled with belated fear. "When she wanted to become Sword Master's disciple again, Sword Master swayed a few times and almost couldn't stand! Now that I think about it, it was clearly because his soul was being violently impacted and he was desperately resisting being controlled! Even so, Sword Master refused to agree!"

"I knew my emperor was crazy, suddenly giving us a demon queen, and we're not allowed to mention her! Anyone who does will die!"

"Damn it! I knew my Emperor had just finished fighting the Demon Emperor when he suddenly announced with a pained expression that Lin Qingran would be the Empress of the Demon Realm! Turns out he was being controlled by her and some evil entity!"

"No wonder they all announced their seclusion after the bow was found, as if they had planned it beforehand, and refused to see anyone!"

"That's it!"

More voices joined in, creating a boiling outcry of condemnation.

"Now everything makes sense! Lin Qingran doesn't want a thing!"

Lin Qingran's face was contorted with extreme shock, anger, and the pain of the backlash, turning deathly pale.

She stared intently at the resolute flame of defiance in the eyes of those eighteen men, a surge of insane rage mixed with a sense of betrayal rising to her head.

She never expected that, under the system's powerful control, they would burn their souls in order to break free from her control!

Why did she do all this?

It's all because she likes them so much, so much that she won't allow anyone else to touch them, so much that she has to hold them firmly in her hands!

What's wrong with this overflowing love?

Only the most dazzling stars and the strongest experts in the world are worthy to stand beside Lin Qingran!

She was simply using her own "ability" to fight for and possess it, so what's wrong with that!

A surge of intense resentment and bitterness exploded in her chest, and she abruptly fixed her blood-red gaze on the ever-indifferent figure in blue.

A venomous sneer curled at the corner of his lips, his voice hoarse yet clear, piercing the air.

"You really enjoy picking up other people's worn-out shoes?"

These words were like poison splashed on the ground, instantly igniting the fury of the two realms and three domains.

Countless cultivators were so angry that they trembled and nearly fainted.

Suddenly, shouts and curses arose in the channel, the sound waves overlapping one another.

The cultivators at the boundary of the realm were so excited that they started cursing and almost rushed into the realm gate.

The situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.

"You're the slut! Your whole family are sluts!"

"Damn it! Her mouth stinks! Calling her a shit eater wouldn't be an exaggeration! You're not even going to act anymore, are you?! You damn slut!"

"Bullshit! My Sword Sovereign Emperor has been out of the public eye for a long time. Even when he did come out twice, there were always many people present. Every time, they stood at least ten meters away from him!"

"When Su Qingliu and the others saw her, it was like they were seeing shit!"

"You little bitch! You've tarnished my Emperor's reputation! I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"********! Who the hell do you think you are, to be worthy of my Emperor!"

"How dare you insult me, the Emperor of the Northern Territory, Lin Qingran! I will kill you!"

However, even more chilling than the commotion was the sudden change in the expressions of the eighteen men.

Humiliation, embarrassment, and a hint of unspeakable panic made them all, almost pleadingly, instinctively look at the girl who was diligently wiping her hands with a handkerchief.

In the eyes of Hua Buxiu and his ilk, however, it was more suffocating than any disgusting vulgar language.

Although they had no intimate interactions with Lin Qingran, the fact that they had agreed to marry each other was known to the whole world and could not be denied.

This stain, like a brand, is etched into their past.

Does Jiang Xianwan find them disgusting?
