"Brother, are you alright!"
The beautiful young girl in a purple dress appeared by Hun Miesheng's side.
Seeing Hun Miesheng's slightly pale face, Zi Yan's expression filled with worry and anxiety.
"Worried about me?"
Hun Miesheng stroked Zi Yan's dark hair that fell from her shoulder, chuckling.
"No, no, not at all."
Zi Yan pouted with her hands behind her back.
"I've killed so many people, aren't you scared?"
Hun Miesheng smiled, looking at the entire Holy Pill City.
It had clearly become a dead city.
Or rather, a tomb.
"Scared."
Zi Yan's pretty face paled slightly, and she spoke timidly.
When she was in Jia Nan Academy, she enjoyed fighting and found it fun, which was also the nature of Magical Beasts. But she had never killed anyone, and certainly didn't dare to kill.
Her disposition was like a blank sheet of paper; innocence and kindness were ingrained in her bones.
This was the first time she had seen such a scene of bloodshed.
Hun Miesheng smiled indifferently, the wind whistling, stirring his robes.
Zi Yan lowered her head, holding Hun Miesheng's hand, not letting go for a long time.
There was another sentence she didn't say.
The moment she saw the Nine Profound Golden Lightning descend, she didn't care about the lives or deaths of anyone else, except for Hun Miesheng.
'Ding, system prompt: A contractible target has been found. Do you wish to form a contract immediately?'
Hun Miesheng was momentarily stunned, looking around. Weren't there only him and Zi Yan here?
Could it be?
Hun Miesheng's gaze fell upon the young girl beside him. He had also tried to form a Villain Contract with Zi Yan before.
However, the system's answer had always been that, like Yun Yun, she had no potential to become a villain.
Could it be that she did now?
"Little lass, are you willing to follow me and become a villain?"
Hun Miesheng clasped Zi Yan's tender hand, asking with a chuckle.
"Mmm."
Zi Yan's pretty face blushed, "Brother is a bad person, Zi Yan isn't willing!"
However, a skull mark was already imprinted on Zi Yan's forehead.
'Ding, system prompt: Your Villain Value +50000!'
Heh.
Women truly are creatures who say one thing and mean another!
"Huh?"
Zi Yan was bewildered. At this moment, she felt as if something about her was different?
Only Hun Miesheng could see the demon emerge from the formless, once again devouring Zi Yan's Destiny Value clean.
From this moment on, their destinies would be completely intertwined.
Hun Miesheng watched the demon disappear, suddenly having a conjecture.
A person's Destiny Value was bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
If the Destiny Value of those who formed a contract with him was devoured, did it mean their fates were no longer under the Heavenly Dao's control?
"Brother is a big pervert!"
An exasperated voice broke his train of thought.
Zi Yan's beautiful face was flushed, her hands covering her front.
"Cough, cough."
Hun Miesheng only then realized that where his gaze had fallen seemed a bit inappropriate.
"There's nothing good to see anyway."
"You!"
Hun Miesheng chuckled, pulling Zi Yan to fly into the ten-thousand-zhang high void.
Next, it was time for harvesting.
With his Soul Power fully unleashed, after a period of exploration, Hun Miesheng punched open a certain node in space.
A spatial tunnel appeared before him.
Stepping into it, a vibrant mountain range and forest appeared before his eyes.
Pill Realm!
This space was quite a substantial ruin, and also the source of most of Pill Tower's important alchemy ingredients.
A rich natural medicinal fragrance spread, refreshing the heart.
"So fragrant!"
Zi Yan's clear, large eyes lit up, and her stomach rumbled.
Hun Miesheng lifted the spatial restriction, allowing all of the Hall of Souls' people to re-enter Holy Pill City.
Looking at Holy Pill City's state, it had clearly gone through another major battle.
"Plop!"
The corpse of the Vice Hall Master was thrown before everyone.
Hun Miesheng stood with his hands behind his back, coldly sweeping his gaze over everyone below.
"Hun Mo, the Vice Hall Master Hun Ya, attempted to betray the clan and has been publicly executed!"
"You must remember your identities. This is the consequence of betrayal!"
"Hall Master is wise!"
"Hall Master is wise!"
…
Everyone knelt on the ground.
Hun Miesheng nodded.
"How shameless!"
Zi Yan giggled, making a face at Hun Miesheng.
Hun Miesheng rolled his eyes at her, then led all of the Hall of Souls' people into the Pill Realm, starting a rampant search.
"Take whatever can be taken!"
"Destroy everything that cannot be taken!"
"Yes!"
'Ding, your Villain Value +50086!'
…
The Hall of Souls' people ransacked the Pill Realm and Holy Pill City, turning them upside down and collecting a large number of natural treasures.
Holy Pill City was utterly destroyed, but it wasn't without some gains.
Among them were some secretly preserved cultivation techniques and ancient texts.
Interestingly, Hun Miesheng unexpectedly discovered the Soul Merging Secret Technique – the [Soul Refining Art Fragment] – in the ruins of Pill Tower.
To be precise, this was a damaged cultivation technique ancient text for cultivating Soul Power, without a marked rank.
Pill Tower's Soul Merging Secret Technique was merely one of the methods recorded within it.
Aside from that, in a corner of Holy Pill City, he found an ancient, rusted green medicinal cauldron.
This medicinal cauldron had almost no protection, yet it withstood the dual forces of lightning and fire without shattering, remaining completely intact. This greatly piqued his interest.
As for the medicinal cauldron's original owner, they had clearly long since turned to ash.
"Go!"
Hun Miesheng tore open space, leading all of the Hall of Souls' people back to the Hall of Souls.
As he left, his heart stirred, and he took the Vice Hall Master's body into his storage ring.
…
Several hours later.
A large group of people sensed the abnormal changes in the world and arrived at Holy Pill City.
People from the Burning Flame Valley, Ice River Valley, Four Pavilions, and other major forces gasped.
Pill Tower was gone.
Even Holy Pill City was gone.
A dark cloud hung over the heads of all forces.
At the same time, Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi were also feeling annoyed.
The Void Devouring Flame could not be found.
Now, even Hun Mo's soul jade had shattered.
Hun Miesheng, the culprit, was unaware of all this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't bother with it.
It would be time for the showdown in a month.
…
"Plop!"
A body was thrown before the Heavenly Flame Venerable.
"This is your body."
Hun Miesheng coldly dropped a sentence.
The Heavenly Flame Venerable was momentarily stunned.
Looking at the body missing an arm, his mouth twitched.
'At least give me a complete one.'
Of course, he didn't dare to say that. Having a chance to live was already good enough.
However, when he swept his Soul Power over the armless body before him, his face immediately lit up.
"A Dou, a Dou Sheng's body!"
"Thank you, Hall Master!"
"Thank you, Hall Master!"
He repeatedly bowed in gratitude.
Hun Miesheng left the secret chamber and came to the main hall.
A series of urgent thunderous roars came from within his body, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his entire body.
Raising his palm, a ball of golden and white intertwined lightning excitedly rushed out from within him.
The golden and white lightning intertwined, and in an instant, it wove into a dense lightning net within the main hall!
Hun Miesheng's expression shifted.
The Thunder Spirit was about to advance!
