The girl's face was reflected in Wu Hanyan's eyes. He stared intently at Tian Ning, his chest filled with resentment and confusion: "What...what did you do to it?"

In a fit of emotion, he spoke directly.

Why did his system go into hibernation? She must have done something! What was it? Could it be… those flashy lights?!

"Want to know?" Tianning smiled. "Then go down and ask it."

!!

Who wants to go down and ask it?!

Wu Hanyan's pupils suddenly contracted!

It wasn't just that Tianning's ambiguous words implied she knew about the system's existence; what terrified him even more was the impending death!

He finally managed to travel here, and now he has the cultivation and status he has, and he is surrounded by all kinds of beauties. How can he just throw away his life like this?

Today's events happened without any warning. If I had known this girl was so strange, Wu Hanyan would never have come to this godforsaken place!

This was originally the place where Zhou Mengya was supposed to deal with this chosen one, so why wasn't it Zhou Mengya who was supposed to die? It was him!

"No, don't kill me..."

In a panic, Wu Hanyan blurted out things he shouldn't have said, trying to save his precarious life: "You know it exists, don't you want to know anything else? It concerns the truth of this world..."

Just as Wu Hanyan was about to get to the point, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him. The newcomer held a Nascent Soul stage sword technique in his hand and mercilessly struck at Tian Ning!

The chilling sword energy rushed towards them like frost and snow. This attack carried the pressure of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. The immense sword energy transformed into an enormous snow wolf that pounced on Tian Ning. With a loud 'bang,' the girl was sent flying five meters away by the sword technique, and Wu Hanyan also felt the living Yama on his neck disappear.

"Hanyan, what's wrong with you, looking like this?" Zhou Mengya's tone was mocking as she coldly relayed the message her system had given her: "What's wrong with you? Don't say things you shouldn't! Didn't 2589 warn you?"

2589 is the ID of the Wu Hanyan system.

Wu Hanyan had no words to express his suffering. If his system were still intact, he wouldn't have been forced into this situation by that girl.

But this was not the time for explanations. Wu Hanyan, enduring the pain in his back, looked with a distorted expression in the direction where Tian Ning had been blasted away by the sword technique, and asked, "Is she dead?!"

"Of course not."

It was not Zhou Mengya who responded to him.

The girl popped her head out, hopping and skipping out of the broken wall, and casually pushed aside a huge rock blocking her way.

Wu Hanyan: "..."

Zhou Mengya: "..."

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the two people opposite him, Tianning clutched his chest and couldn't help but sigh, "The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be."

Zhou Mengya snorted coldly; she knew this chosen one wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

After all, there was the example of Wenren Xue. This was at least the chosen one who eliminated a transmigrated woman. However, she was not as useless as Wenren Xue. She had already made thorough preparations to deal with Tian Ning.

“Good children, help your sister deal with that bad guy, okay?” Zhou Mengya said.

Taking a rare chance to catch his breath, Wu Hanyan took out a healing pill from his mustard seed bag and swallowed it, only then noticing that Zhou Mengya hadn't come alone; she was followed by four children.

Three men and one woman.

One of them, Wu Hanyan, looked familiar.

That was a boy that Zhou Mengya had abducted years ago. Because of his special physical condition, he was able to fulfill her plans, so he was the only one of all the children who survived.

The boy, Zhou Mengya, had always kept his identity very secret; it was unexpected that she would actually reveal it today.

However, it wasn't the boy who made the first move; instead, it was the girl among the four children who stepped forward, pointed at Tianning, and said, "It was you! You forcibly took Mother away! You killed Father!"
