Yan Lingxue gave Gu Qingfeng a surprised look. It seems you are very confident.
Naturally. You are the one who gave me this confidence, beauty.
Yan Lingxue shook her head, seemingly a bit regretful as she said, It is a pity about your formidable strength. It turns out you are nothing but a slave to power.
Clearly, Gu Qingfeng's arrogance and unruliness had caused her to misunderstand.
Gu Qingfeng's interest was piqued at this moment. Oh? What makes someone a slave to power?
Someone like you, madly pursuing power regardless of the consequences, your mind filled with arrogance, acting as you please, lawless and unrestrained—that is a slave to power.
Gu Qingfeng burst into wild laughter. So a free man like this Emperor is called a slave? Jie jie jie... Whether I am a slave to power or not is unimportant. What is important is that you will soon become this Emperor's slave!
It seems you still have not guessed why I have not attacked directly, but instead continuously sent my subordinates to their deaths.
Why should this Emperor care about the thoughts of ants? What does what you think or do have to do with this Emperor? So what if you use a thousand tricks and ten thousand schemes? In the face of absolute power, everything you do is nothing but a joke.
Jie jie jie... Just a person climbing the mountain, how dare you mock the god descending the mountain?
Yan Lingxue frowned slightly, clearly angered by Gu Qingfeng's arrogance.
She said bluntly, I intentionally let you devour those ghosts and gods. I reincarnated in the Yellow Springs Ghost City and comprehended the profound meaning of reincarnation, but I am trapped by the curse of this place and cannot escape. The curse is dispersed among every ghost and god. By killing them, you are helping me break free. The more you kill, the fewer restraints I have on my body, and the stronger my power becomes.
So do you know how ridiculous everything you are doing now is? Everything is just paving the way for me.
Ghosts and gods are immortal and indestructible in the Yellow Springs Ghost City, yet you can completely kill them. You truly are a savior sent to me by heaven. Speaking of which, I really must thank you properly.
Yan Lingxue's words carried an indescribable sarcasm. The way she looked at Gu Qingfeng was like looking at a clown, a clown she was playing with in the palm of her hand.
She deliberately told Gu Qingfeng the cause and effect because she saw that he was too arrogant and wanted to see how wonderful his expression would be after knowing the truth.
However, she was destined to be disappointed.
Gu Qingfeng frowned. Are there still ghosts and gods in the Yellow Springs Ghost City?
Yan Lingxue was slightly taken aback. Why are you asking this?
To help you kill all the ghosts and gods and help you escape, of course, Gu Qingfeng said as a matter of course.
Yan Lingxue's frown deepened. Are you really so confident? Aren't you afraid of dying by my hands?
Jie jie jie... This Emperor is only afraid of not having enough fun. I really want to see you in your prime. A powerful existence like you, once you recover your full strength, what kind of sight would that be? Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly.
At this moment, Yan Lingxue suddenly had a slight change of heart towards Gu Qingfeng. Although this person was arrogant, she did not expect him to actually possess the heart of a powerhouse who only feared that his enemies were not strong enough.
However, Gu Qingfeng's next words instantly caused Yan Lingxue's expression to turn completely icy.
Just thinking about pinning a powerful and arrogant woman like you beneath me and playing with you however I please makes this Emperor so excited I cannot control myself. I really want to shatter your arrogant and cold shell and admire the fragility, shame, anger, and humiliation hidden deep in your heart. Jie jie jie... Just thinking about that scene is wonderful! Gu Qingfeng smiled wickedly, excitedly licking the corners of his mouth.
Insolent! Yan Lingxue shouted angrily, her eyebrows raised. A terrifying aura rose from her delicate body. The entire Blood Moon Mountain began to tremble, and the surrounding void twisted in its wake.
Her waterfall-like hair danced wildly in the wind, and a crimson light flashed in her beautiful eyes, making her entire person appear increasingly enchanting and bizarre.
Today, I will refine you into a puppet and make you a slave for all eternity!
Jie jie jie... How cruel! In comparison, this Emperor is much kinder than you. If you become a slave, this Emperor will not enslave you for all eternity. Instead, I will grant you freedom, but only after you die!
Die! Yan Lingxue's eyes were like cold lightning as she fiercely attacked.
With a wave of her jade hand, she slashed across the sky. A dark sword energy surged out. On the sword energy, the light and shadows of reincarnation intertwined, obscure and heavy.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingfeng smiled even more happily. So you are actually a sword cultivator? This Emperor likes you sword cultivators the most. Every one of you shouts that you would rather break than bend, but after being caught by this Emperor, your bodies can be bent however I want them to bend. Let this Emperor see how you bend forward and arch backward! Jie jie jie...
Boom!
Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly and reached out his hand. Taboo demonic patterns flashed on his pale palm, and billowing demonic energy rose.
With just a single grab, he easily caught the reincarnation sword energy in his hand. Then, with a squeeze, the sword energy shattered with a bang, turning into a sky full of light rain.
At this time, Gu Qingfeng frowned. Why is it so weak? Fuck! This Emperor already said I would help you kill all the ghosts and gods. Hurry up and tell me, where are the remaining ghosts and gods?
Yan Lingxue felt she was being looked down upon and instantly flew into a rage. Without bothering to reply, she attacked again.
Die for me! Equinox Flower Bloom!
Whoosh!
In an instant, a rain of equinox flowers fell from the sky. Billions of magnificent equinox flowers descended from heaven. As if controlled by an invisible giant hand, the equinox flowers slowly condensed in front of Yan Lingxue's delicate body.
In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a dreamlike path of interwoven light and shadow, spreading out in the void and leading to the endless dark depths, as if connecting to the end of reincarnation. Countless magnificent equinox flowers fluttered in the sky, and a mysterious, obscure, and taboo aura enveloped the entire area.
That terrifying power, the dazzling sight, and the deadly beauty terrified Yan Lingyu, who was already hiding far away. She ran several miles further away. With her quasi-Immortal King realm, she did not even have the qualifications to watch the battle.
Yan Lingyu could clearly sense the terrifying taboo power contained within these equinox flowers. Every single one possessed the power to destroy an Immortal King.
Under Yan Lingxue's command, this path formed by equinox flowers rapidly spread towards Gu Qingfeng. Once someone stepped onto this path, their soul would return to the other shore.
But facing such a bizarre divine ability, Gu Qingfeng smiled excitedly and actually took the initiative to step onto it.
A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Yan Lingxue's mouth. Seeking your own death!
The next moment, those equinox flowers crazily wrapped around Gu Qingfeng and began to burn. Crimson, blazing flames soared into the sky.
That was no ordinary flame, but the Fire of Reincarnation that helped people pass into reincarnation.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Qingfeng became a man of fire.
However, strangely, the screams Yan Lingxue had imagined did not appear. She saw that the man of fire was not only unharmed in his movements, but even raised his hand with great interest, looking at it as if he found it novel and amusing.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer!

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss.

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
