The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

"Hehe, you didn't expect that, did you?"

Su Qi raised her little face, looking proud.

"With the speed of the shuttle, we can arrive in a day at most!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yue's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, eased slightly.

This speed isn't much slower than using the ancient city's teleportation array.

Although the teleportation array can arrive instantly.

However, it would take her time to travel to the ancient city, and it would also take her time to travel to her destination after arriving at the ancient city in the Eastern Region.

The shuttle, on the other hand, travels directly to its destination point-to-point.

In comparison, the shuttle is actually more convenient.

Ye Yue looked at Su Qi with a complicated expression, seemingly lost in thought.

"Aren't you afraid I'll try to snatch it? You should know that the value of a flying shuttle is no less than that of a Nascent Soul Realm expert!"

In Zhongzhou, a family that possesses even one cultivator at the Integration Realm is considered a low-ranking family.

Such a priceless treasure is coveted even by those in the holy land.

Not to mention she's a notorious demonic cultivator; she doesn't need a reason to rob someone, right?

"I believe in Sister Ye Yue!" Su Qi said without turning her head, her tone very firm.

This inexplicable trust moved Ye Yue.

Little did she know that Su Qi didn't trust her, but rather his own abilities.

Let alone one Ye Yue, even a hundred Ye Yues wouldn't be able to snatch the shuttle from him.

Moreover, Su Qi believed that even if Heaven was blind, the quality of the female lead selection was at least guaranteed.

Ye Yue might be capable of murdering someone to steal their treasure.

But they repaid kindness with enmity, killing and stealing treasure...

As the female lead, Ye Yue still has this much principle.

As for Ye Feng, this chosen one...

Su Qi felt that if it weren't for Mu Lao's influence and bewitching, he probably wouldn't have grown into his current appearance.

"Tsk, but I don't trust myself. I'm about to lose control and rob you of everything."

Once Ye Yue calmed down, she reverted to being the witch.

He moved closer from behind and gently embraced Su Qi.

Her chin rested on Su Qi's shoulder, and her hands reached around to the front.

His fingertips lightly traced Su Qi's neck, as if he were preparing to kill Su Qi on the spot at the slightest provocation.

"No, Sister Ye Yue wouldn't..."

Su Qi was very certain.

This has left Ye Yue completely bewildered; she doesn't even trust herself that much anymore.

While she was still in a daze, Su Qi uttered the second half of the sentence.

"If Sister Ye Yue is going to take something, she should take me first! Compared to treasures, I think I am more attractive to Sister Ye Yue!"

Ye Yue's eyes widened, and after a long while she burst out laughing.

He was laughing so hard.

"Little kitty, I like you more and more! I really want to... really want to bite you and savor you!"

As she spoke, she actually opened her mouth and bit Su Qi's soft, round cheek.

"Whoa... What are you doing?" Su Qi exploded, her face flushed red as she stood up abruptly, frantically wiping her cheeks with both hands.

Ye Yue was thrown to the ground by him, but she was not angry. She smiled and licked her lips.

"It's even more delicious than I imagined!"

"Do you still want to go to the Eastern Region?" Su Qi asked, his cheeks flushed red and slightly puffed out with anger.

……

At the same time, the major powers in Zhongzhou also received the news.

Just now, the newly appointed Lord of Tianzui City was chopped into mincemeat.

Driven mad, Xiao Yichen stormed into the Ancient City of Heavenly Sin and began an indiscriminate massacre.

As the young patriarch of the Ye clan, Ruobingli naturally received the news as well.

Or rather, she was even earlier than Su Qi, and was the first person in Zhongzhou to receive the news.

After her conversation with Su Qi, she became very concerned about what Su Qi meant by predicting the future.

Because this means whether Su Qi's past actions were truly as he claimed.

Now, is he lying again?

Ruo Bingli cared a lot about this.

She was actually very conflicted.

She didn't want Su Qi's words to be true, because if Su Qi really foresaw the future, then it would be solid proof that she would kill Su Qi with her own hands in the future.

Su Qi's actions against her for deceiving her are therefore understandable.

She also hoped that what Su Qi said was true, because then she would have a reason to convince herself to forgive Su Qi.

Torn by these conflicting emotions, in order to confirm whether Su Qi's words were true, she sent people to keep a close eye on the Eastern Region Star Sword Sect.

Therefore, she received the news the moment Xiao Yichen fell into demonic possession.

She was deeply shocked by this.

Because Su Qi was right!

But she didn't believe it easily. Coming from a top-tier family, she knew that with enough power, deciding life and death with a single word was a simple matter.

It is not impossible to manipulate others onto the fate one has foretold.

As far as she knew, Su Qi possessed the cultivation level of the Integration Realm.

For such a powerful figure, manipulating things from behind the scenes to turn Xiao Yichen, a mere half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, into a demon would be a very simple matter.

After all, Su Qi had a precedent to learn from.

If Bingli had experienced it firsthand, she would have unknowingly fallen into the trap set by this traitorous disciple...

……

The next morning, as dawn broke, Su Qi and Ye Yue finally arrived.

After getting off the shuttle, I asked around.

They learned that Xiao Yichen's location had been quarantined.

The city lords of several other ancient cities in the Eastern Region have now joined forces, preparing to take action against Xiao Yichen.

Furthermore, they also learned that Xiao Yichen did not directly become three times stronger after turning evil.

Instead, after he fell into demonic possession, he awakened a special attribute: every time he killed a cultivator, he could absorb their spiritual energy for his own use.

As he killed more and more cultivators, his cultivation level also increased.

"Hiss, why does this attribute look so familiar?"

Su Qi felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Ye Yue's face was gloomy as she slowly uttered five words that were wrong: "Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield!"

Su Qi suddenly remembered.

Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield, one of the three forbidden areas of the Sky Dome Continent.

The place where the Heavenly Emperor once fought the dark creatures.

That area was corrupted by the power of dark creatures, giving rise to a strange being called the Killing Spirit.

Like Xiao Yichen, Killing Living Beings possesses the special attribute of being able to absorb others to strengthen itself.

Back then, the Holy Land wanted to completely resolve the problem here, but ended up losing a huge number of lives.

The ancient battlefield of Hengyuan has nurtured several incredibly powerful killing creatures, which are difficult even for those at the Tribulation Transcending Realm to deal with.

Seeing how difficult the idea was, the Holy Land simply sealed off the Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield and then left it alone.

"I remember those spirits of life and death couldn't leave the Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield, right?"

Su Qi frowned and glanced at Ye Yue, noticing that the woman seemed to know something, so he tentatively continued to ask.

"Why does Xiao Yichen possess the exact same attributes as the Killing Spirit? Is he a special Killing Spirit?"

Ye Yue seemed to remember something, her eyes dimming and clouding over.

"Seven years ago, someone gave Xiao Yichen false information, making him believe that his missing daughter was in the Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield."

"In order to find someone, he bravely ventured into the area alone. When I arrived after receiving the news, he had been brought out by someone and was found unconscious outside the Hengyuan Ancient Battlefield."

“I investigated this matter in detail, but I couldn’t find anything. Now that I think about it, I guess Xiao Yichen’s health was already in trouble around that time.”

Ye Yue's voice sounded somewhat annoyed, probably regretting that she hadn't properly examined Xiao Yichen's physical condition back then.

Upon hearing this, Su Qi inexplicably thought of that mysterious organization.

Could it be them?

This style of secretly causing trouble is not only similar to that organization, but practically identical, okay?

Moreover, that organization also has its reasons for targeting Ye Yue, since she is one of the female leads!
