Running Off With The Sect Senior Sister Chapter 67

“Oh no.” Luo Er grabbed Luo Tangtang’s hand. “We have to get out of here quickly! This cave can’t withstand the energy of those flames.”
“But…” Luo Tangtang turned her gaze towards Yun Shayi.
Luo Er felt a throb in her head. “She won’t die.”
The words had barely left her lips when rocks in the cave shattered and came crashing down with a loud thud.
“Let’s go!” Luo Er gritted her teeth. Mustering strength from who knew where, she forcefully dragged Luo Tangtang out.
But the chaos wasn’t confined to the cave; the outside was just as tumultuous. The entire small mound shattered in an instant, and at the same time, a dazzling light burst forth from its center.
A powerful energy emanated from the Netherworld Azure Flames, making the entire world seem to boil. At this moment, all living beings in the far northern lands felt an indescribable pressure.
They seemed to be bewitched, the blood in their chests throbbed, their eyes shone with an eerie light, and they rushed towards a certain direction.
“Luo Yi!” Luo Er’s eyes suddenly widened, disbelief flashing across her face.
Luo Tangtang also wore a solemn expression. She could feel it: from all directions, demonic beasts and cultivators alike were rushing over, surging like a tide that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
“What do we do?” Luo Er exclaimed. She turned to look at Yun Shayi, who was amidst the Netherworld Azure Flames. The other person was motionless, without a sound. If not for Yun Shayi’s steadily rising aura and vitality, Luo Er would have thought she was dead.
“Wait and see,” Luo Tangtang said in a low voice. Her eyes were fixed on the ball of fire, the deep blue light reflected in them. With a slight flash of her hand, a sharp longsword appeared in it.
Seeing this, Luo Er drooped her head in dismay, her heart suddenly leaping to her throat. Another fight is coming.
The earth shook and the mountains swayed. A few colossal creatures appeared around Yun Shayi. They stared with crimson eyes, fixed on Yun Shayi, as if wanting to tear her apart and devour her.
The first to arrive was a giant serpent with ox horns and wings, coiled on a small hilltop. Then came a white tiger no smaller than the serpent, and a vulture circling in the sky.
Not just demonic beasts, the figures of cultivators also appeared nearby.
Luo Tangtang tightened her grip on her sword.
The sky gradually darkened.
Yun Shayi’s fusion with the flame seemed to reach a critical moment. The space around her rippled, beginning to distort, like the surface of a pond ruffled by the wind.
At this moment, the hesitant demonic beasts nearby moved. They lunged violently towards Yun Shayi, wanting to swallow her whole and chew her to pieces.
Luo Tangtang also moved. Almost instantly, she swung her longsword. The sword light tore through the sky, illuminating the entire expanse as if it were day.
The wind from the sword bypassed Yun Shayi and struck directly at the giant serpent opposite her. Its scaled flesh burst open, leaving a bloody gash.
“Are you crazy?” Luo Er’s lips trembled, her voice becoming shrill. “If the Main God finds out you did this, you’ll be finished!”
Luo Tangtang had used the Main God’s power without permission.
Given the restrictions of this world and the Main God’s severe prohibitions, the backlash Luo Tangtang would suffer from using the Main God’s power without permission was immense. Most importantly, if the Main God discovered it, Luo Tangtang would be doomed.
“I had no choice!” Luo Tangtang slowly wiped the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
With Luo Tangtang at the center, pale golden light flickered continuously around her, gradually enveloping Yun Shayi within it, forming a huge protective barrier. Almost instantly, time seemed to stop flowing. Everyone remained in their previous posture, motionless, completely still.
Only Yun Shayi, enveloped in the golden light, still had the deep blue light flowing around her.
Her current power alone was too weak. For all these years, she had been exploring ‘Luo Yi’s’ power. Finally, she discovered that Luo Yi indeed possessed a mysterious power within her, seemingly from the same source as the Main God.
But the price for using this power was too great.
“She’s the protagonist! She won’t die! What on earth are you thinking?” Luo Er stepped forward and punched Luo Tangtang hard in the face.
“I think you’ve gone mad!” she cursed loudly, her eyes reddening.
“Does the Main God really care?” Luo Tangtang expressionlessly steadied herself. She looked at Luo Er, her gaze frighteningly calm. “In his eyes, none of us matter.”
Luo Er paused, then erupted in anger again. “What do you know? You know nothing!”
“You think you’ve changed everything, but in reality, you’ll only make it worse.”
‘Just as life and death are opposites, if you wish for life, you must choose death.’
An indifferent voice sounded.
Luo Tangtang and Luo Er froze simultaneously.
‘Still the same choice.’ The Main God seemed to sigh.
“What do you mean?” Luo Tangtang asked through gritted teeth. She found that Luo Er had disappeared, and her surroundings had become empty.
A figure appeared from the void. Luo Tangtang couldn’t see his face clearly, only feeling that this person before her seemed very distant.
She ran towards the person, wanting to question him, but he instantly drifted further away.
“I once poured a lot of my heart into this world,” the person didn’t answer, merely speaking quietly, his voice carrying a trace of imperceptible gentleness and emotion.
“A ‘god’ like you would have feelings for the ants you created?” Luo Tangtang almost scoffed out loud, her voice filled with sorrow and despair.
The person seemed to shake his head helplessly.
“You should be punished now,” the person said quietly.
“What are you going to do?” Luo Tangtang’s gaze sharpened.
“Didn’t you want to understand everything?”
“Go and see then!”
As his voice fell, the scene before Luo Tangtang’s eyes changed abruptly.
The three giant demonic beasts were still frozen in mid-air, but the cultivators who had been standing in the distance moved instead.
They rushed towards Yun Shayi.
Why… Luo Tangtang was stunned.
Those people’s eyes… they were lifeless. They were being controlled.
Luo Tangtang frantically tried to stop them, but found it was useless.
Even the Main God’s power didn’t work; she couldn’t do it. Those people rushed towards Yun Shayi as if they were mad.
The Netherworld Azure Flame was like a world-destroying Asura, devouring everything. They let out tragic screams, but still pressed forward without hesitation.
How could this be!
‘Ding!’ The system, which hadn’t appeared for a long time, suddenly came online.
‘Kill them,’ the system said succinctly.
“Wh… Why?” Luo Tangtang felt a chill run through her entire body.
It was like a dense blackness, creeping into her eyes, obscuring everything.
“How could it be like this?” Luo Tangtang screamed, on the verge of breaking down.
The system fell silent. ‘Remember the secret realm you created? Do you want to know the choice you made back then?’
‘If you don’t kill them, they will be devoured by the Netherworld Azure Flame and perish completely. However, if you kill them, they will be reborn.’
‘This, you must choose yourself.’
Choose myself! Choose myself! Choose what? Kill them all? Kill them all?
Ahhhhh… Screams, shrill and desperate screams. Thousands upon thousands of people were coming.
Luo Tangtang saw the burly man who had sold her flower seeds, the old man with the stall, and her junior brothers and sisters from the Supreme Immortal Sect. They were all rushing desperately towards Yun Shayi.
“No… don’t, don’t.” Tears streamed down her face. Luo Tangtang wanted to stop them, but there were too many people.
When the first sword strike fell, everything seemed to fall into place so naturally.
She only needed to stand in front of Yun Shayi, her longsword sweeping, only needing to raise her hand, lower it, and raise it again.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Tangtang grew numb. Before her eyes, there was only crimson. The sky had brightened at some point. Her eyeballs moved, and she tilted her head, quietly staring at the horizon, seemingly pondering, Why, why is today’s sky red?
“Senior Sister!”
Finally, in the crimson world, a more vibrant red appeared, even more eye-catching than blood.
Luo Tangtang turned and saw Yun Shayi.
Perhaps due to the Netherworld Azure Flame, Yun Shayi’s face looked more mature, her temperament somewhat cold and detached, and there was a touch of deep blue between her brows.
Luo Tangtang slowly curved her lips into a faint smile, a smile pure and radiant. “Yun Shayi, you’re all better!”
“Senior Sister.” Yun Shayi’s voice trembled. She had just finished absorbing the Netherworld Azure Flame when she saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Her Senior Sister, covered in crimson blood, stood quietly amidst the piles of corpses, turning back to smile at her.
“Senior Sister, what’s wrong with you?” Yun Shayi stumbled slightly, ran to Luo Tangtang, and grabbed her shoulders.
Then came the crisp sound of bones breaking.
Yun Shayi hadn’t controlled her strength well, or rather, she was too powerful now. What was just a tiny bit of force for her was unbearable for the current Luo Tangtang.
Luo Tangtang’s expression was unruffled. Her eyes held a cruel innocence. “I sent them to a new life.”
Luo Tangtang suddenly broke free.
From beneath the corpses at her feet, wisps of black smoke suddenly emerged—ghostly souls, drifting in the air.
“What is this?” Yun Shayi frowned. Her confusion didn’t last long. The Netherworld Azure Flame was originally this world’s creation divine fire, the Main God’s greatest gift to Yun Shayi. With it, Yun Shayi had essentially become the god of this world.
Since she had become a god, she could naturally see what had truly happened.
Yun Shayi’s hand suddenly moved, gripping Luo Tangtang’s wrist tightly. “Senior Sister, you!”
But before she could finish speaking, her hand was violently flung off.
“Junior Sister.” Luo Tangtang smiled, her expression complex, filled with many emotions, dark and obscure.
“You’ve been with Senior Sister for so many years, and I haven’t taught you much.” She pressed her lips together, then a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Yun Shayi was stunned. “What are you saying?”
Luo Tangtang smiled, her meaning unclear. “Now, Senior Sister will teach you a lesson: don’t trust anyone easily.”
A sharp blade, appearing from nowhere, slashed across Yun Shayi’s chest.
Luo Tangtang’s fingers slowly caressed Yun Shayi’s face, while her other arm gently supported Yun Shayi’s falling body.
Looking into the other’s disbelieving eyes, she gently kissed Yun Shayi’s lips. “Otherwise, you see, this is the consequence.”
“Wh… Why?”
“For no reason!” Luo Tangtang stated, her demeanor both gentle and cruel.
In a place Yun Shayi couldn’t see, scratch marks on Luo Tangtang’s fingers dripped with blood; an entire piece of flesh had been brutally torn off.
“Because I killed them all. Because I’m sick of this peaceful world.”
