Bone-stripping and tendon-pulling? The reborn senior sister becomes the number one cultivator in the

Xie Wanning heard the surrounding demonic beasts screaming incessantly, eventually turning into piles of white bones and falling silent.

The eerie chants of the demon lords continued unabated, like death knells, chilling everyone to the bone.

Is this a sacrifice? If it is a sacrifice of a soul, is there any possibility that Xie Wanning will be resurrected?

Xie Wanning felt a chill run through her body as she felt her blood slowly draining away and her spiritual energy almost completely drained, while the red light on the sacrificial altar became increasingly bright.

Will her masters come to save her? Probably not. They'll probably think that since Mu Jinchen hasn't finished his seclusion, Xie Wanning won't be in danger.

Xie Wanning thought desperately, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the whole room shook. Xie Wanning tumbled off the sacrificial altar and saw a familiar face—the current Demon Lord, Helian Yu.

The man before her had cascading purple hair, fair skin, and a beautifully defined collarbone that subtly revealed its shape. Between his brows and eyes was a crimson mark, like a flower petal, and his scarlet eyes held both allure and bloodlust.

His figure emitted a red glow, clearly an illusion.

He knelt before the Demon King Mu Jinchen, with utmost reverence: "Greetings, Demon Ancestor."

Mu Jinchen was very satisfied with Helian Yu's attitude, and they talked about the current situation of the Demon Realm.

Xie Wanning wouldn't listen to a word; her anger was already burning within her, and she wanted to kill Helian Yu immediately.

In his past life, Helian Yu was one of Ye Qianqian's followers. He was ruthless and merciless, a veritable demon.

In order to help Ye Qianqian take revenge on Xie Wanning, Xie Wanning was captured by a demon general during a battle against the demons.

Helian Yu imprisoned her and tortured her with all sorts of methods until Yan Ze rescued her.

Since then, Xie Wanning has been afraid of the dark and afraid of pain, as these things remind her of the dark and hopeless days in the Demon Realm.

It took Xie Wanning a year to slowly recover, but unexpectedly she became possessed by a demon.

When she broke through to the Golden Core stage, she was corrupted by the demonic energy hidden in her body, turning her into a bloodthirsty monster who slaughtered fifteen disciples.

Later, when Xie Wanning regained consciousness, she was utterly devastated when she saw the sea of ​​blood piled up around her disciples.

Yan Ze imprisoned her on Wenjian Cliff for a full six months. She had no time to rest and could only endure repeated trials from a Nascent Soul level sword formation. More than a hundred blood-stained names were carved on the stones at the top of the mountain.

She became so thin that she was practically skin and bones. After leaving the Sword Inquiry Cliff, she was insulted and bullied by all the disciples, but she was bound by a restriction and could not resist anyone.

It wasn't until Xie Wanning overheard Ye Qianqian's conversation with a black crow that she realized Ye Qianqian and Helian Yu knew each other. They had conspired to channel demonic energy into Xie Wanning's body, waiting for her to break through her cultivation barrier and fall into demonic possession.

They thought Xie Wanning would become a mindless monster and be killed by Yan Ze. Unexpectedly, Xie Wanning actually regained her senses.

However, Ye Qianqian had already achieved her goal: Xie Wanning was ostracized by everyone in the sect.

Xie Wanning learned the truth and lost control of herself, attacking Ye Qianqian. However, she was beaten so badly that she had no chance to fight back and could only run away.

Until he was caught by Si Jinchuan...

Xie Wanning condensed sword energy in her hand and struck at Helian Yu's phantom, her eyes flashing with surging anger.

Helian Yu was naturally unharmed, but Mu Jinchen's expression turned cold.

"What are you going to do?" Mu Jinchen slowly approached, his body radiating a chilling aura.

Xie Wanning was nothing more than a tool for sacrifice in his eyes. Since arriving in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, the only way for the demons to connect with the outside world was through sacrifice, using the corpses of thousands of demonic beasts and demons, along with pure spiritual energy.

There's no need to worry about demons and magical beasts, but only spiritual cultivators can provide pure spiritual energy.

The only spiritual cultivators in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons are the grandmasters of various sects. Mu Jinchuan has not been able to capture them in nearly ten thousand years. Therefore, this is the first time he has used spiritual cultivation rituals to summon the demons from the outside world.

Xie Wanning was merely a sacrifice; in Mu Jinchen's eyes, that was all.

Unable to break free from the Immortal Binding Lock, Xie Wanning could only raise her head with difficulty, glaring at Mu Jinchen and Helian Yu with hatred.

Demons are all like this: vicious, cunning, bloodthirsty, and arrogant. The thought of being oppressed and bullied by demons in both her past and present lives fueled Xie Wanning's anger.

Mu Jinchen ignored Xie Wanning's anger, placed his hand on Xie Wanning's head, and emitted black mist from his body.

The black mist, like blood-sucking insects, coiled around Xie Wan Ning and pierced her skin.

"What are you trying to do?" Xie Wanning tried to forcefully drive away the black mist with her spiritual power, but to no avail. Feeling waves of pain coming from her body, Xie Wanning gritted her teeth and said.

"It's just turning you into a puppet, so you won't resist," Mu Jinchen said coldly, ignoring Xie Wanning and turning his gaze back to Helian Yu.

Helian Yu glanced at Xie Wanning, then respectfully faced Mu Jinchen.

Puppets? Xie Wanning had seen puppets of the demon race before. They were all high-level cultivators in the cultivation world who, due to their unfortunate defeat by the demon race, were subjected to puppetry by the demons. Their souls were stripped away, they could not recognize people, could not speak, and had no thoughts at all. They could only obey the orders of the demon race and fight continuously.

She cannot become a puppet. There are still people she wants to see, things she hasn't figured out, and she still wants revenge. How can she stay here?

Xie Wanning's emotions grew increasingly agitated. Her eyes instantly transformed from light blue to deep red, flames began to erupt around her, and the Immortal Binding Lock shattered completely. Golden characters floated around her, but with a crack, they shattered. At the same time, Xie Wanning's entire body burst into flames, illuminating the entire room.

A small flame burned fiercely, its crimson color tinged with a hint of gold.

The luxurious room was filled with various precious cosmetics, silks, and satins, making it look like the room of a young lady from a wealthy family.

Meanwhile, a small flame burned brightly in the middle of the room, illuminating the entire space.

Yan Ze walked in, and when he reached out to touch the flames, his hand was burned by the scorching heat.

Yan Ze frowned slightly, ignoring the wound on his hand, and instead used his spiritual power to try to suppress the flames.

Unexpectedly, the flames grew stronger and stronger, showing signs of expanding.

Yan Ze's face darkened, and he channeled more and more spiritual power into his hands, forcibly fixing the flame to a certain size.

In the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, the Demon Lords saw Xie Wanning engulfed in flames, which were pure Phoenix Fire.

As a divine beast, the phoenix's flames have a natural advantage over demons and magical beasts.

As the demon lords saw Xie Wanning getting closer and closer, the flames seemed to scorch their souls, suppressing the demonic energy within them. The demon lords with lower cultivation levels coughed up blood.

Mu Jinchen's condition was slightly better, but the demonic energy within his body kept surging and crashing against him uncontrollably, making him somewhat irritable: "Little Phoenix, do you think your resistance is useful? It's just a death struggle."

"Even if I die, I'll take a few people with me." Xie Wanning glared at them angrily, the flames around her growing more intense, with the force of an overwhelming tidal wave.

Xie Wanning used all her spiritual power to support the flames, and although she felt a force subtly hindering her, she would not give up.

Yan Ze watched the flames grow ever stronger, then turned and left, coldly saying, "I'll release you in three more years."
