After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 184



Chapter 184

The impact of the jade coffin was immense.

After the hit, Buddha Old Ancestor’s cheek caved in, and his golden body showed signs of collapsing.

Seeing the familiar jade coffin, Xiao Ting and other high-ranking members of Jiuyan Sect were dumbfounded.

They recognized at a glance that it was their own Old Ancestor’s coffin. But how did it fly over by itself?

Seeing the jade coffin about to hit the ground, Xiao Ting hurriedly caught it.

He glanced inside the coffin and found it empty.

The Old Ancestor’s corpse was gone!!!

“This is outrageous! Who would not even spare Old Ancestor’s corpse?!” Xiao Ting couldn’t believe it.

Equally incredulous was Buddha Old Ancestor.

He was about to annihilate the Jiuyan Sect, so how he suddenly got beaten by a coffin?

“Who dares to launch a sneak attack?!”

After stabilizing his posture, Buddha Old Ancestor was furious!

“…”

No one responded.

Then, a strange shadow appeared like a ghost floating above the jade coffin in front of Xiao Ting.

This shadow had no physical body and seemed somewhat ethereal.

Clearly a soul, yet with blood-red eyes and wild hair and exuding a torrent of malevolence, it looked like a fierce ghost from the abyss.

The newcomer was none other than Jiuyan Old Ancestor!

“Huff! Huff! Huff!”

Jiuyan Old Ancestor kept exhaling, repeating the process more than a dozen times before he could barely suppress the malevolence in his heart.

He felt that his life was too hard!

With his cultivation level, even if only his soul remained, he should have reached Buddha Temple at the fastest speed.

But it wasn’t that simple.

An Old Ancestor carrying a coffin was too conspicuous, so he needed to conceal his presence.

Thus, he traveled with frequent stops, lying in the jade coffin and controlling it with his soul power to move swiftly.

If he encountered a group of cultivators, he would quietly hide.

Everything went smoothly.

However, when he passed a town not far from Buddha Temple, an accident occurred! He fell into the nine cycles of reincarnation again!

And this time, it happened right above the town, witnessed by tens of thousands of cultivators!

That would have been fine.

After all, he was hiding inside the jade coffin, and not many could see his true face.

But the lord of that town was an idiot!

Seeing the jade coffin suddenly appear while emitting a dazzling green light, that fool thought it was a heavenly opportunity!

He led several cultivators from the upper four realms and took advantage of his entrapment in the nine cycles of reincarnation when he couldn’t fight back and pulled him out of the coffin!

The lord couldn’t understand Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s cultivation level but was convinced that Jiuyan Old Ancestor was a demonic cultivator.

The reason was simple.

Because Jiuyan Old Ancestor, despite being enveloped in death energy, had a soul that remained intact.

He must have been killing and seizing souls to nourish his own!

In the end, seeing that Jiuyan Old Ancestor didn’t resist, the lord gathered tens of thousands of cultivators from the town, intending to execute Jiuyan Old Ancestor publicly…

Then, Jiuyan Old Ancestor experienced what it meant to be socially dead.

After waking from the nine cycles of reincarnation, he found himself surrounded by tens of thousands of onlookers, pointing and calling him a “demon.”

The lord even wanted to refine him with high-grade spiritual fire!

How could he tolerate something like that?

At that moment, Jiuyan Old Ancestor was enraged and went berserk!

Everyone present got a dozen slaps from him!

That’s why he was delayed in coming here.

Had he not retained some rationality, he might have annihilated the entire town!

Falling into the nine cycles of reincarnation repeatedly and now being socially dead, Jiuyan Old Ancestor, despite being as solid as a rock, was still affected, and his ghostly appearance and malevolence were the best proof.

It was strange. Normally, if a soul showed strong malevolence, there was a high chance it would become a ghost.

But Jiuyan Old Ancestor didn’t turn into a ghost, and his soul even became more solid.

All this gave him a feeling that the mysterious force was not only helping him maintain his soul form but also didn’t want him to become a ghost!

‘Why is that?’ Jiuyan Old Ancestor wondered.

After all, if they really wanted to drive him mad, turning him into a ghost would have been a success.

Unable to figure it out, he gave up.

Looking directly at Buddha Old Ancestor, who was dumbfounded, he said coldly,

“Stinky monk, dare to touch my Jiuyan Sect people?!”

Hearing this, Buddha Old Ancestor rubbed his eyes.

After confirming he wasn’t seeing things, he was shocked!

Buddha Old Ancestor didn’t expect Jiuyan Sect to be so vicious and treacherous!

What does it mean that their Old Ancestor has fallen?

Isn’t he alive and well? Had he known Jiuyan Old Ancestor was still alive, he wouldn’t have been so aggressive!

More importantly, squinting at Jiuyan Old Ancestor, Buddha Old Ancestor couldn’t believe it: “Old Xiao! Your body is full of death energy, yet your soul remains! You’re overflowing with malevolence! You… you’ve turned to the demonic path? Killing and refining souls to nourish yourself?!”

These words made Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s expression darken again.

“Amitabha!”

Buddha Old Ancestor continued, “A hundred years ago, we met once. Back then, although your life was short, you were full of Righteous Qi. But now…”

He sighed deeply and lamented, “I wondered why the people of Jiuyan Sect were all acting strangely… it turns out they were influenced by you, the demonic Old Ancestor, and Jiang Chen! Who would have thought that the thousand-year-old Jiuyan Sect has fallen to become a Demonic Sect!”

Jiuyan Old Ancestor was struggling to restrain himself.

Seeing his displeased expression, althought Buddha Old Ancestor wants to continue lamenting but immediately shuts up.

But then, Buddha Old Ancestor thought he was being too cautious.

Indeed, Jiuyan Old Ancestor came from the Upper Domain, and his cultivation was unfathomable, but that was when he was alive!

Now, Jiuyan Old Ancestor had lost his physical body, leaving only his soul.

Although the soul is also capable of combat, it is far less powerful than the physical body and would consume a lot of soul power!

If he attacked, after just a few moves, Jiuyan Old Ancestor would fall into a deep sleep due to exhaustion of soul power.

He simply was not to be feared!

Buddha Old Ancestor smiled slightly after glancing at the Jiuyan Sect members, who were also dumbfounded, shocked, and in disbelief.

Even Jiuyan Sect’s own people couldn’t accept Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s current “demonic” appearance. Their morale was shattered!

This sect battle was destined to end with Buddha Temple’s victory!

Jiuyan Sect had been established for a thousand years, following the path of righteousness.

Now, seeing their own Old Ancestor turned into a “demon,” their hearts were indeed in turmoil!

For a moment, no one spoke.

Only one thought was in their minds.

The Old Ancestor has fallen, but the Old Ancestor has come back to life! And he even looks like a demon!

Even Jiang Chen was puzzled by Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s current state.

He knew the plot had already collapsed, but he didn’t expect it to be so absurd.

Watching everyone’s expressions, Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s face grew darker.

After thinking for a moment, Jiuyan Old Ancestor sighed and said, “Righteousness lies in the heart, not in appearance. The survival of the sect is above all else, even if I fall into the abyss of hell, I will protect Jiuyan Sect!”

Hearing this, Xiao Ting and the others from Jiuyan Sect were deeply moved.

Xiao Ting couldn’t believe it. With tears in his eyes, he said, “Old Ancestor, you… you used a secret technique to save us and fell into this state?!”

As for what the secret technique was, he didn’t know.

After all, Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s cultivation was unfathomable, and he had lived for who knows how long, naturally possessing incomprehensible technique beyond ordinary understanding!

“Well said!”

Jiuyan Old Ancestor immediately nodded and praised, “Ting’er, your understanding is getting better and better!”

These words undoubtedly confirmed Xiao Ting’s guess.

“Wuu~ Our Old Ancestor is noble!”

“To be part of Jiuyan Sect is to live and die without regret!”

“As the Old Ancestor said, righteousness is in the heart. Our Jiuyan Sect is the number one righteous sect in the Central Domain, and no one can shake our status!”

“Our Old Ancestor’s cultivation reaches the heavens, able to be reborn from life and death!”

“Our Old Ancestor’s great righteousness, we cannot wait to follow!”

The disciples of Jiuyan Sect were moved to tears.

Seeing this as a good opportunity, Jiuyan Old Ancestor’s next words appeared in the minds of most Jiuyan Sect people.

“This time, being able to maintain my soul is also thanks to Jiang Chen.”

Jiang Chen?! The people of Jiuyan Sect were shocked again!

They turned to Jiang Chen with a mix of surprise, gratitude, and relief.

“???”

Jiang Chen was puzzled.

No, why are they looking at me? Is it because I’m too handsome?
