Song Huai'an's face was stiff, his lips twitched slightly, and he looked like he had seen a ghost.

However, the moment he made eye contact with the silver python, he felt a jolt of energy.

The silver python's pupils grew brighter and brighter, like the rising sun.

Song Huai'an felt dizzy and lightheaded, his vision blurred, and his ears were ringing.

When Song Huai'an opened his eyes again, he saw an unbelievable scene:

Xie Wanning stood atop the crowd, divine sword in hand, her gaze cool and aloof. Below her stood disciples from various sects, looking at her with admiration. Her master stood beside her, announcing that Xie Wanning was the next leader of the Qingyun Sect.

Everyone raised their hands and cheered, celebrating Xie Wanning's rise to become the leader of the Qingyun Sect and a leader of all the sects.

Song Huai'an watched quietly from below the stage, but his hands trembled uncontrollably.

This shouldn't be happening! The position of Qingyun Sect Leader belongs to him! He has a natural sword physique, and the sword tip will also be his! How could it possibly be Xie Wanning!

In reality, the disciples watched in horror as the silver python shed its original skin, its severely injured body instantly restored to its original state, even stronger than before.

How can it be?

This is what makes the silver python so terrifying: when it is severely injured, it can abandon its previous body, shed its skin, and become a stronger version of itself.

Song Huai'an remained unmoved, standing blankly on the ground, a faint golden light shimmering in his eyes.

"What did you do to my second senior brother?" Jiang Ci asked, trembling.

"It's nothing more than awakening his deepest fears and making him work for me." The silver python scoffed, then its voice became seductive: "Song Huai'an, don't worry, your beloved senior sister is here. Do what you want!"

Xie Wanning had just woken up from her coma when she was wrapped in the tail of the silver python and brought before Song Huai'an.

Seeing Song Huai'an standing there in a daze, Xie Wanning was startled. What had happened?

However, when Song Huai'an saw Xie Wanning in front of him, his eyes lit up, and then he cruelly curled his lips into a smile. The Golden Cloud Sword was in his hand, gleaming with a dazzling light.

"Xie Wanning, your second junior brother came to save you. I thought he was deeply devoted to you, but who would have thought that the person he fears most is you?" The silver python smiled contemptuously, wagging its tail, its eyes full of mocking laughter.

"What did you do to him?" Xie Wanning asked, somewhat uneasy.

“Let him see the person he fears most, and,” the silver python’s sarcasm grew louder, “let him do what he most wants to do.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Huai'an raised the Golden Cloud Sword and approached Xie Wanning step by step, gritting his teeth and saying, "Senior Sister, you shouldn't have taken everything from me. If you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust."

In the illusion, Song Huai'an raised his sword and faced Xie Wanning, who had become the sword's tip, and was forced to retreat step by step; in reality, Xie Wanning struggled to raise a broken sword and resisted Song Huai'an's attacks.

However, Xie Wanning, who was severely injured and physically weak, could not withstand the attack of Song Huai'an, who was filled with hatred, and was eventually pierced through the body by the Golden Cloud Sword.

"Second Senior Brother, wake up! Don't be bewitched by the silver python!" Jiang Ci cried out, his eyes filled with tears, trying to bring Song Huai'an back to his senses. He had heard everything the silver python had said clearly. Others might not know the fear in Song Huai'an's heart, but he did.

One day, after returning from the secret realm, Song Huai'an had a long chat with him late at night, and casually mentioned, "Third Junior Brother, what do you think if I became the eldest senior brother? Then I'll make you the second junior brother."

Jiang Ci simply smiled and remained silent. However, he could not ignore the turbulent emotions surging in Song Huai'an's eyes.

Now, Jiang Ci is certain that his second senior brother is afraid of his eldest senior sister, and that the silver python is using this to bewitch his second senior brother.

However, the second senior brother could not resist the temptation and even actually hurt the eldest senior sister.

They were all his senior brothers and sisters, and Jiang Ci felt as if his heart had been cut open.

Xie Wanning felt unbearable pain in her abdomen and constant throbbing in her heart.

In my ears, Song Huai'an's bewitched words echoed:

"Senior Sister, you forced me to do this."

"This is what happens when you dare to go against me."

"Haha, Xie Wanning, today I'm going to kill you!"

The golden light in Song Huai'an's eyes deepened, indicating that he was completely immersed in the illusion and could not extricate himself, and that the killing intent in his heart was hard to suppress.

Xie Wanning felt irritated and her anger could no longer be contained. She suddenly swung her hand and slapped Song Huai'an hard across the face. Her eyes were devoid of emotion, and her tone was icy: "Song Huai'an, wake up! Do you still have any semblance of the demeanor of a Qingyun Sect disciple?"

Song Huai'an saw the scene before him shattered. His senior sister, pierced by the Golden Cloud Sword, stood before him, her expression neither sad nor happy, not even glancing at him.

Looking at the warm blood in his palm, Song Huai'an understood what he had done.

He looked at his senior sister helplessly, like a child who had made a mistake.

Xie Wanning didn't look at Song Huai'an; she was utterly disappointed in him.

Mingming thought that after being reborn, her junior brothers had not been deceived by Ye Qianqian and did not harbor any hostility towards her. However, she did not expect that from the very beginning, it was not Ye Qianqian who had bewitched them, but rather that they all harbored fear and hatred towards Xie Wanning.

Although Jiang Ci hasn't shown it yet, judging from the way he drugged her during his previous life, his hatred for her is only greater than it seems.

Then there's no point in relying on the other disciples of Qingyun Sect; they're all heartless bastards.

Of course, Tian Ruochun was an exception.

Xie Wanning glanced coldly at everyone, gritted her teeth and pulled out the Golden Cloud Sword from her abdomen, enduring the excruciating pain to stand still.

Watching Xie Wanning sway like a small boat in the waves, the silver python revealed a smug smile: "It doesn't feel good to be betrayed by the person you trust most!" After saying that, it used its tail to curl up Xie Wanning and bring her in front of it.

"I went to great lengths to eat you. No human has ever made me go to such lengths; you are the first." The silver python's eyes gleamed with golden light, filled with excitement and satisfaction.

The next moment, amidst screams from the crowd, Xie Wanning was swallowed into the belly of the silver python.

"Truly delicious!" The silver python flicked its tongue and turned its gaze to the cultivators on the ground.

"Give me back my senior sister!" Song Huai'an's eyes reddened as he stood in front of the crowd, ready to fight to the death.

"Which senior sister is it? The one you pierced with your sword?" Silver Python mocked shamelessly.

“You…I…” Song Huai’an was speechless after being confronted. He wanted to defend himself, but the facts were there, and he had no choice but to admit it.

"Don't talk nonsense! You used your skills to control Second Senior Brother's mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something to hurt Eldest Senior Sister." Ye Qianqian rushed in front of Song Huai'an, spreading her arms to protect him. "Second Senior Brother and Eldest Senior Sister usually have a very good relationship. If you hadn't forced him to hurt her, he definitely wouldn't have used his sword to injure her. It's all your fault!"

Song Huai'an's eyes trembled slightly, his grip on the sword tightened, his posture upright: "Yes, it was all your doing, you demonic beast." Song Huai'an pointed his sword at the silver python: "If you hadn't controlled my body, I wouldn't have hurt Senior Sister. This is the truth, heaven and earth can bear witness, otherwise may I be struck by lightning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds gathered, and a bolt of purple lightning suddenly appeared, striking the earth directly.
