Time passed quickly. Half a month later, Tang Xiaoxue gathered all the forces she could use.
Looking at the millions of cultivators and demon clans, Tang Xiaoxue spread her hands towards the sky.
"Brother, do you see it? This is our power now, the power to crush everything that blocks our way. I will use it to crush all the enemies standing in my way."
Tang Xiaoxue then angrily shouted, "Bring Ye Xuan. I want to use him as a sacrifice, to comfort my brother in the other world."
The already disfigured Ye Xuan was dragged up, staring resentfully at everyone present.
"You will all meet a terrible end. All righteous cultivators will not let you off."
Tang Xiaoxue walked to his side, grabbing his hair and lifting him up, "Open your dog eyes wide and see who will not let go of whom? Go slowly down there, I will soon send all the righteous cultivators to keep you company."
Ye Xuan looked at the boundless cultivators and demon beasts, he was shocked, desperate, but unwilling to give up.
He roared and cursed. Tang Xiaoxue threw him to the ground, "I will flay you personally, not only to torture your body, but also agonize your soul."
"Death would be a luxury for you."
Subsequently, Tang Xiaoxue sliced Ye Xuan alive like a madman, with astonishing brutality.
"Zhu Six, his soul is yours now. Don't stop until you have tried all your methods on him, don't let him disperse."
"I understand." Zhu Six smiled coldly. He knew what Tang Xiaoyu had told him to do, to torment Ye Xuan properly.
How could he not fulfill his brother's wish as the elder brother.
Tang Xiaoxue ordered, "Move out!"
This was a historic moment, and a disaster for the entire cultivation world.
The moment Ye Xuan's soul scattered, Ye Xuan's master laughed, laughed unbridledly, she was finally free.
"Little one, you've kept your promise, and I will help you finish what you didn't."
Then, she joined Tang Xiaoxue's camp, followed by Xie Wanying from the Divine Demon Sect.
After Lin Qingying died, she also lost her only rival and bosom friend. Since Tang Xiaoyu had gone below to be her husband, she had no reason to stay on the Alliance's side.
After all, she was from the Eastern State, and they never treated her as one of their own.
While the Alliance was still gathering its forces, Tang Xiaoxue and the others had already started building larger teleportation formations.
When the Eastern State launched a full-scale offensive, the decade-long war officially kicked off.
In those ten years, the casualties were no less than millions. Finally, when both sides could no longer sustain the war, they signed a non-aggression pact.
Occupying half the land of the Middle State would of course not be returned, returning it would make it a surrender pact.
Just when they thought a period of peaceful development was coming, those bald donkeys in the West took advantage of their mutual damage to occupy the Western State.
No matter how much they disliked each other, they could not let those Western bald donkeys take advantage.
Subsequently, the two sides began to ally again to resist the Buddhist Sect of the West.
At the alliance convention, Tang Xiaoxue initiated a purge of the Buddhist Sect in the mortal realm.
"Tear down the temples, smash the Buddha statues, kill the monks, even if blood flows like a river, it would be worth it."
"My motto is: it's better to mistakenly kill a thousand than let one slip by."
Some sages tried to dissuade, "Saint Tang, let's focus on expelling them for humanity's sake."
Tang Xiaoxue resolutely said, "On the matter of legacy, I will not compromise. Either they die or we perish."
She then berated these sages, "Look at our Eastern State, is there a single temple left? Now look at your states, what have those bald donkeys become?"
"Do common people know Buddha? Do they know you?"
"No, they know you. In their eyes, you are those aloof immortals looking down on them like ants."
"They would rather pray to Buddha every day than place their hopes in you. Do you know why?"
"Because they know you don't care whether they live or die. What can they ask of you? To belittle and despise them?"
"Come and tell me, what's this fake benevolence for? I don't see you showing any kindness to ordinary people."
Tang Xiaoxue got more agitated as she spoke, "And now you're pretending to be good people, are you finding the right target?"
"Applying kindness to the enemy, are your brains jammed by the door?"
All the sages dared not speak. The alliance of the four states could just barely match her, who dared confront Tang Xiaoxue alone?
"Does anyone else have objections?"
The four sages shook their heads together, "No, no, Saint Tang is right."
Tang Xiaoxue seemed unsatisfied, "You're only facing my good temper. If you met my brother, he would curse you into losing your bearings."
Zhao Sizhi, Little Ling'er, Zhu Six, they all told her about her brother Tang Xiaoyu.
Only then did she know her brother had a hot temper and a sharp tongue.
Everyone said, this is your good temper? Then no one has a good temper!
"With your conduct, none of you are fit to be this alliance leader. I will take this position. You have no objections, right?" Tang Xiaoxue looked at the four.
The strongest Middle State was now split in half, the Western State was occupied by the Buddhists, nothing more needed to be said about the other two states.
The four stood up with clasped hands, "Alliance Leader Tang."
"Good, we now formally declare war on the Buddhist Sect." Tang Xiaoxue was full of vigor.
Tang Xiaoxue reminded, "Everyone should also prepare for a protracted war. The Buddhist Sect obviously can't swallow us whole, they will first digest the Western State fruit."
"Use the Western State as a springboard to slowly corrode us."
What followed was the purge of the Buddhist Sect in the mortal realm.
In a splendid golden temple, a wicked man laid down his butcher's knife, wanting to reform himself and repent for a lifetime of sins.
Li Zijie led his men charging in, "Commit crimes and become a monk to escape punishment, what use is there for laws? For rules?"
The abbot chanted, "Amitabha, may I ask why the patron has intruded on our pure Buddhist land?"
Li Zijie paid him no heed and said to himself, "In this life I don't expect to become any immortal. Because I don't believe I'm that one in tens of millions lucky one."
"My senior brothers, senior sisters, even our Saint, none have dreamed of becoming immortals. Do you know why?"
The abbot replied, "This poor monk does not know."
Li Zijie looked at him and enunciated word for word, "What's the difference between a one in tens of millions chance and fantasy? They are both things that deceive people."
"What you say are all fantastical things. So I want to bring you back to reality."
Li Zijie beheaded the abbot with one stroke, "Sins, sins, if you don't go to hell, who will? You have successfully converted me."
"Shave the head but not the hair, keep the hair but not shave the head."
"Kill all those without hair."
"Yes, Elder Li."
Subsequently, Li Zijie walked towards the man who wanted to reform himself, "So it's that simple to become a Buddha. Then I'll become a Buddha after I'm deep in sin!"
That man wanted to beg for mercy, but Li Zijie gave him no chance. He ended him with one stroke.
"Sins, sins."
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

Then he discovered that the aloof girl next door, his childhood sweetheart, possessed the highest-grade crimson destiny—a future destined to reign supreme as the Empress of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Lately, she seemed troubled, pondering how to unlock her sealed meridians and unleash her talents ahead of time... — — — My name is Ying Bing, one of the Nine Heavenly Sovereigns, titled the Phoenix Empress, reigning invincibly over the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Ying Bing: "Can’t you let me win just once?" Li Mo: "First, call me 'husband' properly—I didn’t hear it clearly last time."

Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]?

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
