Chapter 142 The Lackey of Heaven
"Who exactly are you?" Ye Qianqian trembled even more violently, cold sweat soaking her entire back.
Xie Wanning reverted to her true form.
"Junior Sister Ye, are you surprised? Your senior sister has finally crawled back from that hell, and I've come to claim your life! Hahaha!" Xie Wanning suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, her voice like the howling of ghosts, sending chills down everyone's spine. Her eyes gleamed with a crazed light, as if she wanted to devour everything.
"Senior Sister, it was my fault before. I can go to the sect to clear up the truth for you. I can... Ah!" With Ye Qianqian's scream, the blade sliced through her neck.
Xie Wanning took a step back, and the twenty explosive talismans exploded instantly. Accompanied by Ye Qianqian's scream, the explosion resounded throughout the entire area.
[The host has suffered severe damage. Emergency treatment status has been activated.]
Xie Wanning saw that Ye Qianqian, who had been blasted black, was now radiating golden light and was gradually healing.
"I didn't expect you to be so hard to kill, Junior Sister Ye." Xie Wanning used her sword to lift Ye Qianqian's chin. With the system's blessing, Ye Qianqian's originally disfigured face had begun to heal, and people could see her fearful expression.
"Master... Master..." Ye Qianqian couldn't speak clearly. She could only keep retreating, trying to escape Xie Wanning's control.
Xie Wanning stepped on Ye Qianqian, rendering her unable to move.
"Let me show you the pain I've suffered!" Xie Wanning's eyes turned sinister and cold as she swiftly slashed Ye Qianqian's limbs with her sword.
"what!"
Amidst Ye Qianqian's screams, Xie Wanning severed her tendons and removed her spiritual roots and elixirs. Watching her struggle in agony on the ground, a cruel smile appeared on Xie Wanning's face.
In her past life, she died a tragic death, and in this life, she will repay Ye Qianqian for everything she suffered.
"That's about enough." Xie Wanning raised her hand and brought down the knife, the sharp sword piercing Ye Qianqian's heart.
Ye Qianqian stared wide-eyed at the ceiling with an empty gaze.
[Host detected...]
"Shut up!" Xie Wanning roared impatiently, directly using demonic energy to force Ye Qianqian's soul out. The instant Ye Qianqian's soul appeared, the phoenix fire in Xie Wanning's hand instantly extinguished it.
The piercing sound stopped abruptly, and Ye Qianqian on the ground also stopped breathing.
Xie Wanning waited patiently, and after about five hours, a ball of light finally emerged from Ye Qianqian's body.
"Finally you've come out, you lackey of Heaven. No, you still have a name, aren't you called System?" Xie Wanning jumped off Luo Ze Sword, pointing the sword at the System.
Unexpectedly, the system did not resist at all, but instead flew outwards at high speed.
When the system encounters the boundary of the domain, it is stopped.
However, after the system struck the boundary twice, cracks appeared in the domain.
"As expected, a Nascent Soul stage domain can't trap you. But what about a Mahayana stage domain?" Xie Wanning revealed a bright and confident smile. Black mist appeared around her and then quickly spread out, enveloping the system.
Within the dark realm, only deep red light burned, and the ground was covered with spider lilies, their bright red petals dancing and leaping with the flames.
After seeing that Xie Wanning could create a domain, 'she' tried to create her own domain.
Within this area, all fire and demonic energy damage will be amplified.
The system couldn't break through the boundaries of the domain, and it even trembled slightly when it saw Xie Wanning slowly approaching it.
What do you want? I am sent by Heaven.
"What I want is you, the lackey sent by the Heavenly Dao." Xie Wanning grabbed the system and examined it in her palm: "Are the Heavenly Dao's orders to assign Ye Qianqian tasks to frame me, and to seduce Si Jinchuan, Song Huai'an, Jiang Ci, and Yan Ze?"
The system is silent.
Xie Wanning's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She gripped the system in her hand tightly, and a piercing "buzzing" sound could be heard.
"You're not going to talk? Looks like you're in for a beating," Xie Wanning threatened fiercely.
Suddenly, the system emitted a golden light, scorching Xie Wanning's hand: [Xie Wanning, you are merely a cultivator. Do you intend to harm me, or defy the Heavenly Dao? My power comes from the Heavenly Dao; I cannot be harmed by spiritual energy or demonic energy. You'd better release me, otherwise, if you anger the Heavenly Dao, even if you are the female lead, there will only be one outcome—death!]
The system's sharp voice rang out loudly, carrying a strong warning.
"Death? Doesn't Heaven want me to die? I've died so many times already, I'm not afraid!" Xie Wanning grabbed the system and shouted hoarsely.
The system completely ignored Xie Wanning's anger and rebuke.
"Oh, you seem so confident because I can't hurt you?" Phoenix fire appeared in Xie Wanning's hand, the flames clearly crimson.
However, the Phoenix Fire is also formed from condensed spiritual energy, so it cannot harm the system either.
Suddenly, Xie Wanning infused demonic energy into the phoenix fire, causing it to surge uncontrollably and almost burn Xie Wanning's face.
But she didn't panic. Instead, she kept pouring demonic energy into the phoenix fire, which began to turn black and surged more violently.
Cold sweat beaded on Xie Wanning's forehead, but she didn't stop what she was doing. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as the phoenix power within her backfired.
"Foolish! You dare to defy the rules set by Heaven? You're courting death! Spiritual power and demonic energy cannot coexist." The system scoffed disdainfully.
Xie Wanning gritted her teeth, channeling all her demonic energy into the Phoenix Fire. She recalled the repeated framing and humiliation she had endured in her past life, culminating in her tragic death in prison. She didn't know how long she had wandered in hell before being given a chance to be reborn. How could she possibly let the culprit before her go?
Flowers of the other shore bloomed all around Xie Wanning, purple floral marks appeared on her forehead, and the phoenix fire in her hand turned purple.
This is the fusion of demonic energy and spiritual energy, resulting in a brand new flame—the Phoenix Netherfire!
Xie Wanning felt her body seemed much lighter, and another phoenix seal was broken.
Xie Wanning caught the system that was trying to escape and roasted it directly with Phoenix Netherfire.
"You lackey of Heaven's Way, tell me what you know, or I'll kill you!" Xie Wanning said indifferently, as if she were talking about something insignificant.
The system felt pain it had never experienced before; it screamed in agony and finally confessed everything.
I'll talk, I'll talk.
[Heaven has commanded me to assign tasks to Ye Qianqian, whether it's to gain her favor, advance the plot, or frame her, all in order to obtain the fortune within her.]
[Because you are the only chosen one in the world, and the Heavenly Dao only becomes stronger by acquiring destiny, it wants to target you, gradually stripping you of your destiny. This process will take about ten years. Once you have lost all your destiny and are no longer of use to the Heavenly Dao, you will be killed.]
"You're lying. I'm not the only chosen one. There are nine other people," Xie Wanning said suspiciously.
No, their luck is too weak; they're not much different from ordinary cultivators. Only your luck is the strongest.
Xie Wan Ning recalled that when she met Xia Meng Qi, Meng Qing Yue, and Su An Ying before, the bell on her waist that detected the child of destiny did not ring in time, indicating that their destiny was indeed weak, and the system was right.
"I...I've told you everything I know, can you let me go now?" The system's voice was very humble.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would let a tiger return to the mountain? Since you belong to the Heavenly Dao, then you have no reason to exist." Xie Wanning revealed a mocking smile, and the flames in her hand burned even more fiercely.
[You breached the contract, you...] The system fell silent, and the light from the orb slowly faded.
Xie Wanning suddenly grabbed the light orb that was about to appear, pressed it to her head, and forced it in.
