Senior Sister Went Mad After My Fake Death Chapter 59

“Lord Pugu, this place has been cleaned up. Everything has been collected according to your instructions,” a tall, sturdy wolfman bowed, saluting the woman before him with restraint.
The woman he was saluting was completely human in form, with a slender figure, but her skin was a strange color: not white, nor yellow, but a strange blood red.
It was as red as the Crimson Smelting City in the Nether Realm, like a vast, ever-present bloody mist.
Pugu Yanjin nodded lightly, a trace of unease flashing in her eyes, but she still said, “Since it’s been cleaned up, let’s go.”
The wolfman continued to ask, “My Lord, are we going back directly?”
“Yes, let’s go back directly.”
There was still someone—her brother, who was now waiting for her.
Hearing this, the wolfman went down to give the order, to convey Lord Pugu Yanjin’s command.
Lord Pugu Yanjin was none other than the younger sister of the former City Lord, Pugu Yanxi.
Han Xiao, the demon who had been sealed in the Nether Realm for thousands of years, had broken her seal and wreaked havoc in all directions. She had then directly invaded the Crimson Smelting City and imprisoned the City Lord, Pugu Yanxi.
What she had done to Pugu Yanxi was not just imprisoning him. She had also forced him to open the Ghost Gate for her, to offer up his family’s heirlooms, and so on…
The winner takes all, this was a well-known principle throughout the ages. Even in the chaotic and uncivilized Nether Realm, everyone understood this: whoever had the bigger fist was right. They understood this simple principle.
So, they also naturally thought that Han Xiao would not let Pugu Yanxi’s relatives off, nor would they think that Pugu Yanxi’s relatives would help Han Xiao.
But Pugu Yanjin had been an exception.
Within three days of Pugu Yanxi’s capture, Pugu Yanjin had submitted to Han Xiao.
There were many rumors about this: after all, Pugu Yanxi was still alive. Perhaps Pugu Yanjin was only serving Han Xiao to save her reckless brother’s life.
Some also said that Pugu Yanjin was just greedy for life and afraid of death, that she and her brother had not been on good terms…
These rumors had never stopped.
Thinking of this, Pugu Yanjin’s crow-black lashes trembled.
In fact, she didn’t have that many thoughts. She just wanted peace.
She did have her own private army, but Han Xiao was a person who could fight back and forth with the hundred immortal sects in the Bright Snow Sect. After thinking it over, Pugu Yanjin still chose a bloodless way.
But…
She couldn’t help but look at the shriveled, beast corpses on the ground, which looked as if their souls had been sucked out.
Han Xiao was indeed not that kind. Now she was still acting as her pawn, performing formations for her everywhere.
She really didn’t know what the future of the Crimson Smelting City would be.
Pugu Yanjin thought sadly, and at the same time, she took the token that had collected the essence and went to see Han Xiao.
Han Xiao had been doing this for a long time, and it was not the first time she had performed this formation that sucked the souls and essence of others.
…She and her brother were not natives of the Crimson Smelting City, and they had no resources. With this, if they wanted to achieve something in the Crimson Smelting City, where various forces were deeply rooted, they naturally had to rely on the power of others.
The conditions that person had offered were actually quite similar to Han Xiao’s—
to kill, and then to absorb their souls and spiritual energy.
Pugu Yanjin and her brother had not known the name of this formation at that time, but this time, the more aggressive Han Xiao knew.
She had once let it slip that what she was doing was the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation.
That was a great formation. The activation of a great formation had to be assisted by small formations.
The small formations were completed by them, as for the great formation, that could only be completed by Han Xiao herself.
She didn’t know how Han Xiao’s great formation was progressing.
The small formation was finished. She was going to see Han Xiao.
“City Lord, Yanjin has completed your instructions.” Pugu Yanjin took two steps at a time, walked straight into the great hall, knelt on one knee, and presented the token with both hands. “This token contains what you want.”
Han Xiao’s eyes and brows were icy cold on the throne of the great hall.
To be honest, she was too beautiful—it was said that she was bewitching, but what Han Xiao presented was clearly the image of a pure and beautiful woman.
Fair, beautiful, her three thousand black hairs all loose on her shoulders, her eyes and brows imbued with wind and snow. When she didn’t smile or speak, she looked unfeeling and cold.
Such a person, to be able to break into the Crimson Smelting City alone and imprison her brother was more than normal. Even if she had killed everyone in the Crimson Smelting City, Pugu Yanjin would not have thought there was anything wrong—Han Xiao seemed not to understand the two words “mercy.”
And it was such a person who could actually open her junior sister’s coffin… just thinking about it, Pugu Yanjin still found it unbelievable and could not connect the person in the rumors with the person in front of her.
“City Lord?”
After a long time of confused thoughts, Pugu Yanjin’s knee was about to break, but she still had not received a response from Han Xiao. This made Pugu Yanjin look up with some doubt:
Han Xiao’s face was extremely calm, cold, as if frozen.
Pugu Yanjin could not find a suitable description. She thought that the current Han Xiao was more in a state of being in a trance, not knowing where she was.
Just as Pugu Yanjin was puzzled, Han Xiao finally spoke, “Hmm, give me the thing. You can go.”
“Are there no other instructions?”
“No.”
So short, so forceful. Pugu Yanjin could only hand over the token in her hand and leave with a murmur.
Originally, she had also said that she wanted to take care of her poor brother. It seemed that she could not mention this matter today.
After the demon attendant had brought over Pugu Yanjin’s token, Han Xiao waved her hand, signaling for the demon attendant to leave as well.
The demon attendant was happy to be idle and quickly slipped away.
After the hall was empty, Han Xiao’s slender eyes suddenly flickered, and the black lapel of her clothes actually slipped down, revealing a large, bloody hole in her chest!
…She was seriously injured.
But it didn’t matter, it was just the last time.
But the price of the last time was too great, even more severe than when she had revealed her true form in the Bright Snow Sect—
Han Xiao couldn’t think of what to do for a while, and besides, her current physical condition did not allow her to do anything.
“If you’re tired, you can rest,” the voice in her sea of consciousness spoke again, as if very considerate of her. “I’m really sorry, I borrowed your body at that time, but if I hadn’t, you wouldn’t have easily found the key.”
Even though it was apologizing for its sudden possession, Han Xiao could not hear a trace of remorse.
But she didn’t need its remorse.
“After I help you complete these ten formations, you will leave my body, right?” Han Xiao confirmed again.
All in all, Chongji had to activate the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation a total of ten times.
Nuwa’s intestines, scattered on the earth, transformed into ten gods—Chongji had only mentioned it to her once, but Han Xiao remembered it very clearly.
In that case, it seemed to make sense that the Spirit Spring Rejuvenation Formation had to be activated ten times.
The voice was lazy. “Yes, if you help me reshape my life, I will certainly not reside in your sea of consciousness. But the last time will definitely be difficult. With your current physical condition, you probably can’t do anything.”
“I know.”
If you want the ox to plow the field, you have to give it some grass, right?
It was just a pity that she, a snake, had to be busy with these things.
Han Xiao agreed. Suddenly, her chest began to pound violently—
Her heart couldn’t help but tremble. It had been a long time since she had felt such a pounding.
Ever since she had chosen to leave Jiang Chunai alone.
She no longer needed her.
But this time, she was in danger.
Han Xiao suddenly felt that this pounding heartbeat was familiar.
Very much like the time when Jiang Chunai had sent her a voice transmission.
At that time, she had been too arrogant and had even thought that such an abnormal pounding was commonplace.
She suddenly stood up.
“Eh?” the voice in her sea of consciousness was no longer lazy, but also let out a surprised sound. “Where are you going?”
“You have no way out!” Yuanlin Zhenren suddenly shouted, and with a light tap of her feet, she was suspended high in the air. With a wave of her horsetail whisk, ten thousand rays of rosy light, accompanied by a fierce wind, surrounded the three of them!
Lan Xu frowned tightly, her eyes as deep as a cold pool, staring at Yuanlin Zhenren high in the sky.
At this moment, she had a long saber with an ancient design in her hand, the scabbard of which was engraved with obscure runes.
These runes could only be used once. They could not be used unless it was a matter of life and death.
“Jiang Chunai, you stay. As for you two… hmm, and this spider, you’ve worked so hard to cultivate for so many years, and finally have a human form. Why don’t you cherish it and waste your efforts here? Listen to my advice, leave this place now.”
But Lan Xu smiled coldly. “I won’t go.”
Zhi Zhi only had a long sword issued by the Bright Snow Sect cultivators. She couldn’t even sense how profound Yuanlin Zhenren’s cultivation was. But even so, she still said stubbornly, “I won’t go either!”
Senior Sister Chunai had been so good to her. She would never leave!
She didn’t understand anything about intertwined branches and a shared tomb. She just felt that she couldn’t abandon Senior Sister Chunai at a critical moment and live on alone!
“Hmph, you overestimate yourselves. I just need to flick my finger, and you will be reduced to ashes… Jiang Chunai, can you bear to see these two people die innocently because of you?” Yuanlin Zhenren didn’t want to waste her breath with Lan Xu and Zhi Zhi, but spoke directly to Jiang Chunai.
A person like Jiang Chunai should be easily moved by her words.
As expected.
Jiang Chunai’s brow furrowed slightly. “I’ll stay, you let them go. Do you dare to promise?”
“Of course, I am a person of my word,” Yuanlin Zhenren said with a smile, her eyes curving.
However, the hot-tempered Lan Xu did not fall for this. Seeing that the words of agreement were about to come out of Jiang Chunai’s mouth, she immediately cut her off with hatred, “No, Chunai! Even if we die here together today, I will not live on alone!”
Zhi Zhi also said loudly, “Me too, I won’t live on alone! Anyway, I’m just a not-so-good spider in this life. Maybe I’ll be reincarnated as a very talented person in my next life!”
Hearing the two of them support her like this, Jiang Chunai’s heart softened.
However, Yuanlin Zhenren’s hand holding the horsetail whisk was getting tighter and tighter. “Alright, in that case… hmm, Jiang Chunai, I’ll give you one more chance. Tell me, are you willing, and I’ll let them go?”
Jiang Chunai was at a loss.
“No,” Lan Xu snorted coldly, raising the long saber in her hand. “Just because you’re from the Mengling Immortal Manor, I won’t trust you!”
Yes, it was the people from the Mengling Immortal Manor again.
Jiang Chunai lowered her head, as if she had finally made up her mind—
In the silence, there seemed to be a rustling sound.
“Alright, then you can all be buried here!” Yuanlin Zhenren was furious. She waved the horsetail whisk in her hand, and the ten thousand rays of rosy light that had gathered around them instantly turned into a series of sharp streaks of sword energy, like meteors, heading towards the three of them.
Where the sword energy passed, it was like a sharp blade cutting, hissing, and covering the strange movements in the jungle next to it.
Seeing this, Jiang Chunai leaped up gracefully, chanting, and the soft sword in her hand suddenly burst with a blue light, instantly turning into a blue light screen that directly blocked the oncoming sword energy!
At the same time, she also successfully protected Zhi Zhi.
And Lan Xu stomped hard on the ground, and her whole body shot towards Yuanlin Zhenren like an arrow from a bow.
In the middle of her rush, she drew her long saber with her backhand. When the long saber was unsheathed, a black saber light shot into the sky, breaking through the clouds. The saber light seemed to carry a world-destroying momentum, and it slashed fiercely at Yuanlin Zhenren.
Yuanlin Zhenren was not flustered, and even snorted with disdain. She moved her feet, lightly retreating a few steps, and at the same time, she waved her horsetail whisk again.
The strands of the horsetail whisk instantly became as hard as iron and stone, intertwining with each other and turning into a huge, rosy-golden shield that blocked her front.
With a loud “clang,” the black saber light slashed fiercely on the golden shield. Sparks flew everywhere, and the powerful impact shattered the surrounding rocks, turning them into dust that scattered in the air.
Jiang Chunai took this opportunity, withdrew the light screen, and with a flash, she instantly appeared at Yuanlin Zhenren’s side. She made a few sword flourishes with the soft sword in her hand, and a series of sharp sword shadows stabbed at Yuanlin Zhenren’s side.
However, Yuanlin Zhenren was still calm and relaxed. Her body suddenly spun, and the horsetail whisk in her hand turned into a whirlwind, swallowing all the sword shadows.
In the whirlwind, the strands of the horsetail whisk and the sword shadows collided with each other, making a crisp sound of metal clashing, which was endless.
Seeing that her attack had missed, Lan Xu immediately spun around, the long saber in her hand dancing like a tiger. Her saber technique was sharp, and every slash contained powerful spiritual energy. The saber light was like a ribbon, cutting the surrounding space into pieces. A series of black saber lights, like black flood dragons, pounced on Yuanlin Zhenren with their claws bared.
Yuanlin Zhenren’s brow finally trembled imperceptibly.
“Alright, I have no time to play house with you anymore,” she said faintly, and threw the horsetail whisk into the air. She quickly formed hand seals and chanted a spell.
The horsetail whisk in the air burst with a brilliant light and actually turned into a giant immortal crane!
The immortal crane stretched its neck and cried out, its voice loud and clear, and it pounced on Lan Xu and Jiang Chunai.
The golden immortal crane’s wings were spread out, a full several feet wide, and every feather was like a golden blade. It flapped its wings, bringing with it a fierce wind that blew away all the black saber lights. At the same time, its sharp beak pecked at Jiang Chunai, its speed as fast as lightning.
Seeing this, Lan Xu wanted to sheathe her saber and go back to save Jiang Chunai, but at this moment, Yuanlin Zhenren seemed to have anticipated it and laughed softly, “What, you want to go back and save her?”
At some point, she had an immortal sword in her hand.
The immortal sword was unsheathed, and a brilliant white sword light gushed out. The sword light carried a world-destroying momentum, and it slashed at Jiang Chunai’s back.
Jiang Chunai felt the powerful spiritual energy fluctuation behind her, and her heart was terrified. She wanted to dodge, but she found it was too late. At this critical moment, Lan Xu flew over from the side. She used her own body to block behind Jiang Chunai, and at the same time, she held her long saber horizontally, trying to block this fatal blow.
With another loud “clang,” the white sword light and the black long saber collided, and a powerful spiritual energy impact instantly erupted.
The ground trembled violently, and the surrounding rocks collapsed and rolled down.
With their spiritual energy at a standstill, Jiang Chunai and Lan Xu both gritted their teeth and persevered. Their faces were flushed, but Yuanlin Zhenren’s smile grew even brighter. “I told you, let Jiang Chunai stay alone. You didn’t listen. Now it’s alright…”
With that, a sharp light flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in her body suddenly soared.
The already dazzling white sword light instantly became even brighter, like a blazing sun exploding, illuminating the entire space with a deathly pale light.
The surging spiritual energy poured down from the immortal sword like a flood, breaking through the resistance of Lan Xu’s long saber and directly sending her flying. Lan Xu was like a broken kite, drawing an arc in the air and crashing heavily on the rocks dozens of feet away, instantly shattering the rocks and sending dust flying.
“Lan Xu!” she screamed. “Zhi Zhi—”
Zhi Zhi had not transformed for long, and in the Bright Snow Sect, she had to hide her identity as a cultivator. She didn’t even have the qualification to participate in the battle. The mere impact of their battle was already too much for her.
In the center of the spiritual energy, Zhi Zhi was miserably defeated by the sword energy flying from all directions. She actually vomited a mouthful of blood and fell even harder, in even more pain.
Jiang Chunai took a sharp breath.
At this moment, she also began to feel that she should give it a try.
“Zhi Zhi!”
“The rest is you, Jiang Chunai. It’s not that I didn’t give you a chance just now, but that you didn’t want it. Hmph, now your life is mine,” Yuanlin Zhenren laughed wildly, her horsetail whisk returning to its place, shining with a strange light.
She approached the kneeling Jiang Chunai step by step, and at the same time, she let out a triumphant laugh, “How is it? The feeling of your five organs and six viscera churning is not good, is it?”
“The river and the sea are churning, but unfortunately, you just won’t die. After all, you are still useful, and I won’t let you die so easily,” Yuanlin Zhenren said. “Alright, Jiang Chunai, you are mine now—”
Before her voice had fallen, a mountain wind suddenly rose, and the grass and trees on the side rustled. The rustling sound changed.
“Stay away from her, get lost.”
A white figure shot out from the grass like lightning. With a clear sword cry, a sharp burst of sword energy, like a purple-green lightning bolt, pointed straight at Yuanlin Zhenren!
A sword came from the west, its momentum fierce, its speed fast, its angle extremely tricky—it seemed she had been lying in wait in the grass for a long time!
Yuanlin Zhenren couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart and turned around abruptly, only to see that the black sword energy was already close at hand.
In her haste, she had no time to use a more profound spell and could only quickly hold her immortal sword behind her, chanting a spell. The sword’s body instantly burst with a brilliant light, forming a golden barrier, trying to block this sudden attack.
Han Xiao curled her lips faintly, and as her body moved, she suddenly disappeared, leaving only an afterimage.
Yuanlin Zhenren’s heart was terrified. She turned her head in all directions, trying to find Han Xiao’s trace.
Just as her gaze was scanning, Han Xiao appeared above her like a ghost. The Twilight Kite sword and her seemed to have merged into one. Her whole body was like a golden falcon, accompanied by a stream of sword energy like flowing golden water, and she stabbed down fiercely.
Yuanlin Zhenren’s pupils suddenly widened. The fear of death and the hope for life forced her to move, but her legs actually couldn’t move.
At some point, a green-black snake had actually crawled out from under her feet. The snake’s body was as thick as an arm, and its green-black scales shone with a cold light under the golden sword light, as if it had been forged from the deepest night and the thickest ink.
It was tightly coiled around Yuanlin Zhenren’s ankle. Its head was held high, its tongue flicking, making a “hissing” sound. A pair of cold vertical pupils stared at Yuanlin Zhenren, exuding a strange coldness, as if it were a gaze from the nine hells.
“Ah—” Yuanlin Zhenren barely managed to support the barrier, but because of this poisonous snake’s glance, it became even more fragile, and in the end, it was actually pierced by the Twilight Kite sword.
In an instant, there was a bloody mess. The sharp tip of the sword ruthlessly cut through Yuanlin Zhenren’s defense and stabbed straight into her shoulder. Blood instantly spurted out, dyeing her plain white robe red, and slowly dripped down her clothes, splashing into a series of shocking blood flowers.
The wind was calm and the waves were still. Besides the constantly rolling rocks, everything seemed to have returned to peace. Yuanlin Zhenren, who had just been so imposing with her thunder and lightning, and her summoning of the immortal crane, was actually so pathetic, so quickly defeated.
Han Xiao stood there quietly, the Twilight Kite sword in her hand unstained with blood. Her extremely beautiful face was without a single ripple, her cold eyes watching Yuanlin Zhenren, as if looking down on a helpless ant.
“Don’t you like animals? Falcons, snakes, which do you like more?” she sneered, sheathed her sword, and did not give Yuanlin Zhenren another glance, but immediately went to see Jiang Chunai.
Jiang Chunai’s face was as pale as paper, her lips without a trace of blood. Large beads of sweat constantly rolled down her forehead, sliding down her cheeks, mixed with a few strands of messy hair sticking to her face.
She was half-kneeling on the ground, one hand supporting the ground, trying to stabilize her swaying body, but her other hand was hanging limply, clearly seriously injured in the fierce battle with Yuanlin Zhenren just now.
“Chunai!” Han Xiao sheathed her sword and, in three steps, she was by Jiang Chunai’s side. Without thinking, she knelt beside her. “Are you alright?”
Her body was covered with wounds, sword wounds crisscrossing, and a few of them were quite deep, still gushing blood.
Han Xiao couldn’t bear it and immediately cast a spell to heal her, but Jiang Chunai gave her a sad look and murmured, “Look at them, see how they are…”
An inexplicable emotion flowed through Han Xiao’s heart.
“Alright, then let’s look at them first,” Han Xiao swallowed her words, but still said, “But I must help you first.”
Jiang Chunai nodded weakly. Just as Han Xiao was surprised that she had not violently driven her away, the former had already fallen steadily into her arms.
A long wound, from her shoulder blade to her waist, the flesh was turned outwards, revealing the white bones within, and blood was gushing out like a spring.
Jiang Chunai seemed to have fainted.
She had to save Jiang Chunai first.
This was what she had come for. She had finally caught up, and she would certainly not miss this opportunity.
Anyway, Jiang Chunai had already fainted. It wouldn’t matter if she just took her away. There were not enough conditions to treat her here. It would be better to take her back to the Crimson Smelting City and then make a long-term plan.
At least, the Crimson Smelting City was her territory.
“From now on, you will really be with me,” Han Xiao said in a low voice, and helped Jiang Chunai up.
The moment she was picked up, Jiang Chunai actually regained some consciousness and called out her name in a low voice, “Han Xiao, Han Xiao…”
Not only did she call out her name, but she also subconsciously wrapped her arms around her neck, soft and wet.
Mixed with her weak words, her ambiguous entanglement, this one moment made the previously cold and unfeeling Han Xiao’s face change slightly.
Mmm. She thought, no matter what Jiang Chunai said, she would agree.
“Are the two of them still alive? Are they alright? Save them, Zhi Zhi, and…”
And that annoying person.
Han Xiao frowned.
But she had also said at that time that no matter what Jiang Chunai said, she would agree.
“Hmm,” she replied.
