In this world, who is exceptionally intelligent, strategizing and winning battles from afar; and who is utterly foolish, squandering a winning hand to the point of ruin and death?
Ji Xiaoxiao considered herself a strategist as wise as Zhuge Liang and a warrior as fierce as Lü Bu. From the original owner's memories, Ji Xiaoxiao learned that Gu Lianxin was a ruthless character who would never give up until she achieved her goals. She entered this chaotic world from the Demon Heart Sect, solely to shatter the tranquility of the lake. She began by making contact in the Black Forest, shamelessly and persistently following them until she drove away the original owner. For ten years, she remained on the cold Tianshan Mountain, and as soon as she became the Holy Maiden of the Lotus Sect, the Demon Heart Sect immediately attacked the Tianshan Lotus Holy Sect.
From beginning to end, the Tianshan Lotus Holy Sect was entirely within Gu Lianxin's trap. Ji Xiaoxiao guessed that Gu Lianxin's mission was most likely to become the Holy Maiden of the Lotus Sect of the Tianshan Lotus Holy Sect.
In her previous life, the original owner was tricked by Gu Lianxin due to a slight lapse in attention. In this life, with Ji Xiaoxiao acting as a latecomer, how could Gu Lianxin possibly have everything go her way? The Mad Killing Insect Gu has been launched with a bang, and after some investigation, Gu Lianxin, who has always been at odds with Ji Xiaoxiao, is definitely the first prime suspect.
Ji Xiaoxiao possessed no grand, self-sacrificing righteousness; all she had was a compassionate heart, thinking, "If I'm not doing well, neither should you." Without any evidence, Ji Xiaoxiao revealed Gu Lianxin's identity to the master of Shuiyueyun Manor in Mirror Lake, imploring him to arrest Gu Lianxin and subjecting her to various tortures, determined to get her to confess. However, the master of Shuiyueyun Manor was an upright man; even with Ji Xiaoxiao's threat of suicide, he remained unmoved.
When this plan failed, Ji Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and expose herself to the threat. She ordered the master of Shuiyueyun Manor to withdraw all the guards protecting her, because Gu Lianxin, for the sake of the position of Holy Maiden of Tianshan Lotus Holy Sect, was determined to kill her.
Ji Xiaoxiao's reputation is still intact, and she has even been plotted against by members of the Daoist and Demonic Sects. Returning to the Lotus Holy Sect of Tianshan, it's absolutely impossible for her to be dismissed. If Gu Lianxin wants to realize her dream of becoming a Holy Maiden, the only way at present is for Ji Xiaoxiao to die.
Sure enough, after only a few days, Gu Lianxin couldn't hold back any longer.
Watching Gu Lianxin's monkey show like a spectator, Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say, "Stupid."
Martial arts practitioners have exceptionally keen senses, and every word Ji Xiaoxiao uttered reached Gu Lianxin's ears.
Stupid, call her stupid. What right does someone who's about to die have to call her stupid?
Even though Gu Lianxin said she didn't care in her heart, her attacks were still quite fierce. If no one came to her rescue, Gu Lianxin could have taken Ji Xiaoxiao's life with a single sword strike.
It was fortunate that Ji Xiaoxiao was destined to die; Gu Lianxin ultimately failed to succeed. Just then, the Master of Shuiyueyun Manor arrived and sent Gu Lianxin flying with a powerful palm strike. The Master of Shuiyueyun Manor had been famous for a long time, and his skills were among the top masters in the martial arts world. Even if Gu Lianxin had taken hormones, she would still need to take them for several more years to catch up with the Master of Shuiyueyun Manor.
Gu Lianxin, unwilling to accept defeat, coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. She glared angrily at the righteous people who had rushed over, her hawk-like eyes sharp and fierce. "What a fine example of the righteous path of the martial world! Outnumbered, a bunch of grown men bullying a weak woman. Heaven is blind, the way of heaven is unjust! Today, even if it costs me my life, I will make you pay the price."
After speaking, Gu Lianxin swiftly pressed several acupoints on her body, her pale face turning crimson, and faint white steam rising from her head. Her tightly closed eyes snapped open, her clear black and white pupils now resembling rubies—both beautiful and utterly tyrannical. Moments later, the bloodshot in her eyes faded, and countless wisps of black energy erupted from Gu Lianxin's body. As if possessing a mind of their own, the black energy rushed directly towards the guards of Shuiyue Yunzhuang surrounding Gu Lianxin. As the black energy entered the guards' bodies, their entire being underwent a dramatic transformation.
Before truly interrogating Gu Lianxin, the master of Shuiyueyun Manor still held some hope that the woman before him was just an ordinary person who practiced martial arts. However, the world is not always so beautiful. Upon seeing the black aura emanating from Gu Lianxin's body, the master of Shuiyueyun Manor was terrified. "Demon Heart Sect's Phantom Soul Devouring Technique, disperse, disperse completely!"
The people around were either knowledgeable or obedient, and the owner of Shuiyueyun Manor, carrying Ji Xiaoxiao, slipped away.
When the black aura emanating from her body ceased, Gu Lianxin vomited another mouthful of blood, but this time it was foul-smelling black blood. Gu Lianxin knew she was severely injured, but she was also extremely excited, pointing at the people whose souls had been devoured by the black aura and saying, "Kill them all, don't let a single one escape."
Every second counts, and the master of Shuiyueyun Manor felt his heart breaking as he watched his loyal subordinate become a puppet in the hands of a demon. As the master of Shuiyueyun Manor and a representative of the righteous path in the martial arts world, after settling Ji Xiaoxiao in, he returned alone to a place not far from Gu Lianxin.
Having learned his lesson, he knew he could not allow the witch to harm the innocent any further. The Master of Shuiyueyun Manor, though compassionate, was ruthless in his actions, his gaze sharp, each move flowing smoothly and effortlessly.
The owner of Shuiyueyun Manor clasped his hands together, and with himself as the center, the surrounding air rippled like a surging tide. In the brightly lit courtyard, the fog thickened, gradually becoming a semi-solid substance.
The righteous martial arts practitioners standing to the side said with admiration, "The famous technique of Mirror Lake Water Moon Cloud Manor, 'Water Moon Emerging from Clouds Technique,' is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. Even if the witch has extraordinary abilities, she would never be able to escape from the manor lord's grasp."
“Brother Li is absolutely right. We were fortunate enough to witness the Master of the Manor in action. It was worth the trip.”
"Judging from the Master's move this time, could it be the [Mist Blade Kill] from the 'Water Moon Emerging Clouds Technique'? Tsk, Water Moon Cloud Manor has many rules, one of which is that the [Mist Blade Kill] should never be used unless absolutely necessary."
