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

Chapter 175 The Dark Shadow with Golden Eyes

"boom!"

A beam of light was swiftly emitted, striking the binding magic array with tremendous force.

Xie Wanxun transformed into a cloud of black mist and disappeared from the spot.

"Get this straight, this is my territory, not your place to cause trouble. Understand? Shen Cheng, and that female cultivator too," Xie Wanxun said angrily as she floated in the air.

Shen Cheng shielded Zhong Yingxiu behind him, but Zhong Yingxiu pushed Shen Cheng away. She looked up and met Xie Wanxun's gaze, and said without any fear, "I am Zhong Yingxiu, the senior sister of Bibo Ting. You demonic cultivator, quickly release us, or I will not spare you."

"What arrogance! You dare to act recklessly in my territory." Xie Wanxun's eyes darkened, and bright red spider lilies bloomed on the ground beneath Zhong Yingxiu's feet, with purple flames erupting and scorching Zhong Yingxiu's ankles.

"Ah!" Zhong Yingxiu lifted her right foot, but her left foot was burned. She gritted her teeth and ran out, but was trapped by the formation. She patted the edge of the formation, but could not get out.

The formation emitted a purple light. This was a formation that Xie Wanxun had improved upon based on the demonic formations, and only she could decipher it.

Purple flames burned Zhong Yingxiu's feet, and she cried out in pain, "It hurts so much! Xiao Cheng, help!"

Shen Cheng rushed to the side of the formation and repeatedly pounded on the edge of the formation with his left hand, but to no avail.

He bent down and drew a teleportation array with his left hand, intending to use it to teleport Zhong Yingxiu out, but found that the teleportation array was unusable.

Zhong Yingxiu was burned in the flames. Her cries for help grew fainter and fainter until she collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

"Senior Sister!" Shen Cheng cried out in despair, frantically pounding on the edge of the formation with one hand, while his other hand remained motionless.

Xie Wanxun was watching all of this with great interest until she noticed Shen Cheng's empty right arm, and her eyes instantly turned cold.

But then Shen Cheng raised his eyes, and his dark eyes instantly turned golden. A strengthening array appeared beneath his feet, and more than a dozen attack arrays appeared around him.

"Xie Wanxun, release my senior sister." Shen Cheng raised his left hand, and flames and ice blocks appeared in the attack array, which were smashed towards Xie Wanxun.

Xie Wanxun chuckled and vanished into black mist.

She appeared behind Shen Cheng in an instant, a dagger pressed against his back.

"Shen Cheng, are you disappointed that you didn't get my Ten Thousand Year Mad Demon Grass?" Xie Wanxun said coldly.

She recognized him; Shen Cheng was from the Black Shadow Pavilion, the man in black who attacked Xu Xiaoli in the black market, and also the Nascent Soul stage Black Shadow who created the illusion.

She had previously killed eleven shadowy figures, only one of whom had his right arm cut off but managed to escape. Shen Cheng, on the other hand, had lost his right arm, and there were faint traces of ghostly fire remaining at the wound.

However, what confirmed Xie Wanxun's suspicions was that Shen Cheng's eyes were golden, exactly the same color as the man in black's eyes. However, the previous confidence in his eyes was gone, replaced by deep hatred.

"Letting you go on the black market was my biggest mistake. However, I can make up for that mistake now." Shen Cheng's voice was somewhat deranged, and the golden light in his eyes became even more pronounced.

"puff!"

Xie Wanxun coughed up blood; the array beneath her feet was suppressing her. The array beneath her feet shimmered with golden light, carrying divine power that suppressed the demonic energy within Xie Wanxun's body.

"How could you possibly have divine power?!" Xie Wanxun's legs went weak, the dagger in her hand fell to the ground, and she knelt on one knee, trembling all over.

"You don't need to know." Shen Cheng picked up the dagger and stabbed it fiercely into Xie Wanxun's neck.

A strong hand gripped the dagger, and with a "crack," the dagger was crushed into several pieces of scrap metal that fell to the ground.

Xie Wanxun wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her scarlet eyes grew brighter and brighter, and ghostly flames rapidly appeared around her. Her voice was filled with obvious anger: "You shouldn't have harmed this body. I want to return it to Wan Ning intact, instead of letting you damage it."

Xie Wanxun forcefully broke through the formation. She kicked Shen Cheng in the abdomen, and Shen Cheng flew two miles away like an arrow, rolling on the ground more than a dozen times before barely stopping.

Shen Cheng struggled to sit up, but his abdomen burned with pain; several of his ribs were broken.

Xie Wanxun instantly appeared in front of Shen Cheng. She leaned down, exuding an aura of power, and coldly said, "Speak, where did your divine power come from? Did Qin Muyang give it to you?"

Shen Cheng trembled uncontrollably twice, whether from fear or pain, it was unclear.

He chose to remain silent.

However, Xie Wanxun clearly wouldn't give him that chance.

A mantra array appeared beneath Shen Cheng's body, emitting a purple light.

"Tell me, where did your divine power come from?" Xie Wanxun sat down, and black mist appeared beneath her.

Shen Cheng was determined not to speak, however, the True Word Array was imbued with Netherfire, and as long as he did not speak, his soul would be burned, which was an extremely painful thing.

"what!"

Shen Cheng screamed desperately, but remained silent.

A hint of admiration flashed in Xie Wanxun's eyes. She stopped the operation of the mantra array, leaned forward, and smiled, "Shen Cheng, you are indeed a rare and good subordinate. But, would you be a good junior brother?"

Shen Cheng looked up, his eyes filled with fear and worry as he gazed in the direction of Zhong Yingxiu. His voice was hoarse as he spoke with difficulty, "Don't hurt Senior Sister anymore, she won't be able to take it."

"Then we have to see your sincerity."

Shen Cheng lowered his eyes, concealing the pain and hesitation within them. Finally, he said helplessly, "This divine power was given to me by the Pavilion Master."

"Is he Qin Muyang?"

"……Yes."

Xie Wanxun clenched her fist.

Qin Muyang possesses divine power, which means he must be connected to the Heavenly Dao, and he is very likely a person of the Heavenly Dao.

"Why do you need the Ten Thousand Year Madness Grass?" Xie Wanxun asked curiously.

Shen Cheng hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "It's for Senior Sister. She was injured by a demonic cultivator during the sect competition, and the demonic poison in her body has flared up, so she needs to be treated."

"The demonic poison within the body?" Xie Wanxun keenly grasped this information.

"Yes. Senior Sister was once a test subject for the Demon General Shen Yuan. When my master found her, she was already deeply poisoned and couldn't remember anything. My master took her as his disciple and has been suppressing the demonic poison in her body ever since."

"My senior sister has been kind to me; she saved me from the clutches of the demonic cultivators. So, please, please, don't hurt her anymore." Shen Cheng's voice was choked with emotion, and his body trembled slightly, but this time it was because of heart-wrenching grief.

"Since you're so eager to save your senior sister, why not sign a master-servant contract with me? I might just take pity on Zhong Yingxiu and let her go." Xie Wanxun put his hands on his hips, his gaze cold and icy, like ice piercing the bone.

"Alright!" Shen Cheng's voice was resolute; he agreed without the slightest hesitation. He would go through fire and water to save his senior sister.

Xie Wanxun nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and touched Shen Cheng's forehead.

The contract is reached.

Shen Cheng asked incredulously, "Why isn't the contract partner you?"

Xie Wanxun's eyes darkened slightly: "From now on, you will serve Xie Wanning. You will infiltrate the Shadow Pavilion and pay attention to Si Jinchuan's motives. If Si Jinchuan intends to assassinate Xie Wanning, you must inform Xie Wanning immediately. Ensuring Wanning's safety is your only task and the only content of the contract."

Shen Cheng glanced at Xie Wanxun and nodded.

Sudden.

A golden light appeared in the domain, but Xie Wanxun did not turn around. She put a pill into Shen Cheng's storage bag and said softly, "This Bone Regeneration Pill can help you recover your right arm. I have to go entertain the 'guests' now. Take a nap first."

A waft of intoxicating fragrance wafted by, and Shen Cheng instantly fell into a deep sleep.

"Demon Lord! Prepare to die!" A sharp female voice rang out; it was Liu Qingci.
