After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad! Chapter 244

Days later.

With the opening of the Mysterious Ice Realm, the number of cultivators arriving at Cold Realm City was increasing day by day.

Not only did many famous casual cultivators appear, but also many sect prodigies arrived.

At the gates of Cold Realm City, clad in a blue robe, a stern-faced man carrying an ancient sword case walked side by side with a monk holding prayer beads.

The man was nad Su Shan, a disciple of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion.

The monk beside him was the foremost disciple of the Buddha Temple, Ci En.

The two arrived at the city gate.

“Pay up!”

Several armored guards blocked their way.

Su Shan’s brow imdiately furrowed.

He had no objection to paying to enter the city, as it was the rule.

Although he was a renowned prodigy of the Central Domain and a mber of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion, the lord of Cold Realm City was appointed by the Imperial Dynasty, and the necessary respects had to be paid.

What irked him was the attitude of the money-demanding guards.

They were looking down on him with their noses in the air!

“Amitabha…”

Ci En advised upon seeing this, “Brother Su, why bother with a guard?”

Su Shan thought it over and agreed.

What was his status? Arguing with a guard really did lower his dignity.

He was a man of few words, not fond of talking.

He tossed a bag of spirit stones to the guard and proceeded to enter the city.

“Not enough,” the guard still refused to let them pass.

Su Shan frowned again.

“How can it not be enough?” Ci En was puzzled.

“I am very clear that during the opening period of the Mysterious Ice Realm, cultivators entering the city need to pay one hundred dium-grade spirit stones. And in this bag, there are five hundred dium-grade spirit stones.”

“That was before.”

The guard’s attitude remained arrogant, and he scoffed, “A few days ago, the city lord increased the entry fee from one hundred dium-grade spirit stones to five hundred. This bag of spirit stones is only enough for one person.”

“Five hundred?!” Ci En was shocked.

Such a price could buy a decent high-grade spiritual weapon!

He suspected… was this guard trying to extort money?

After all, such a price hike was detrintal to the reputation of the lord of Cold Realm City!

It could easily lead to widespread resentnt!

“Hmph!”

Su Shan also thought the sa and let out a cold snort, his sword case trembling violently behind him.

“What? You want to fight?”

The guard was not intimidated and said, “The price has gone up again, one thousand dium-grade spirit stones per person, or you cannot enter the city!”

“Courting death!!”

Su Shan was furious.

But just as he was about to draw his sword from the case, Ci En stopped him again.

“Brother Su, sothing is off with these guards!” Ci En took a deep look at the guard and said aningfully.

“What’s off about them?” Su Shan was startled.

“I see that these guards have murky eyes and unstable auras. They must have gone mad!” Ci En stated gravely.

Mad?

Su Shan was taken aback again and then scrutinized the guards in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed as Ci En had said.

In addition to the signs ntioned by Ci En, he also saw intense malice in the guards’ eyes.

“I heard on the way here that Jiang Chen has arrived at Cold Realm City. It seems to be true now!” Ci En lanted.

The rumors that wherever Jiang Chen went, people went mad had almost spread throughout the Central Domain.

Originally, Ci En did not believe it.

After all, when Jiang Chen was at the Buddha Temple, except for Mu Kui going mad, there were no signs of madness among the other mbers of the temple.

But now, he had no choice but to believe it.

Before the Ghost Controlling Sect was destroyed, there were reports of many people going mad.

Now, even the guards of Cold Realm City were like this.

“This Jiang Chen is a sin of this world. I will eventually slay him with one sword!” Su Shan spoke coldly.

Ci En nodded in full agreent.

Just as the two did not want to bother with the madn and were about to hand over the spirit stones to enter the city.

“Sin?”

The guards’ faces contorted, and they said one after another:

“The sin of this world is you self-proclaid righteous people!”

“The heavens are unjust, treating all beings as re dogs. This is the true nature of the world!”

“The heavens blind you! Why not surrender and co to see the truth of the world with us?!”

“It’s not too late to turn back now!”

“I advise you not to be stubborn!”

“…”

As they spoke, the guards, holding various spiritual weapons, charged at Su Shan and Ci En.

Their expressions were crazy, their eyes filled with malice, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Su Shan wanted to open his sword case again, but Ci En stopped him: “This is Cold Realm City. If we cause a disturbance and alarm the city lord, our sects would have a hard ti explaining it.”

“Then what should we do?” Su Shan asked.

“Let’s retreat for now and not bother with these madn. Once the Mysterious Ice Realm officially opens, we’ll find another way into the city,” Ci En suggested.

“…How infuriating…” Su Shan could only grit his teeth and nod.

Afterward, the two quickly made their escape one after the other.

“Kind donors, turning back is the shore!” Halfway through their escape, Ci En did not forget to turn back and persuade.

“Go turn back to your mother!”

The guards cursed, insulting Ci En’s ancestors for eighteen generations.

…….

Several days later.

An old man arrived with a young woman.

The old man had a sinister look, with white beard and hair.

The woman wore a long black dress with hairpins adorning her hair.

Her black hair reached her waist, her skin was fairer than snow, and her beautiful eyes were like ripples on clear water.

As she walked, her slender waist moved slightly, exuding grace.

Her expression was indifferent, yet occasionally she would smile.

With each frown and smile, she captivated hearts, and her charm carried an air of wickedness that made people wary.

The two arrived at the gate of Cold Realm City.

“Pay up.”

The guards still had an air of arrogance.

After a mont’s thought, the old man took out a bag of spirit stones.

But before he could hand over the spirit stones, the woman beside him suddenly struck.

With a wave of her fair wrist, a thick black aura transford into a palm and slapped the money-demanding guard, causing him to vomit blood repeatedly.

“…Jiuxi, that was too much,” the old man frowned.

“Is it over? Master, isn’t it you who taught that strength is everything in this world?” The woman blinked, not understanding.

“Your strength is not yet enough to sweep everything aside,” the elder said again.

“Don’t I still have you, Master?” the woman blinked again.

“…” The elder was left speechless.

He was the Great Elder of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect, whose full na was Chen Shi.

The woman beside him was the Myriad Dao Demon Sect’s number one true disciple, Nangong Jiuxi.

The two had co here not for the Mysterious Ice Realm but for one person.

Jiang Chen!

Ever since Nangong Jiuxi learned that Jiang Chen was in this Cold Realm City, she had planned to co and et him.

Chen Shi was originally opposed to this.

But thinking that he might see his own Old Ancestor Chen Sheng who was also Jiang Chen’s protector, he quietly brought Nangong Jiuxi along.

Before departing, Chen Shi had repeatedly instructed Nangong Jiuxi to keep a low profile in everything.

Because his own cultivation was not high, being only at the first realm of the upper four realms, he was not able to protect his own disciple.

He was able to beco the Great Elder of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect and take Nangong Jiuxi as his disciple because the Chen family had made contributions to the Myriad Dao Demon Sect.

Furthermore, this trip was made without informing the sect leader of the Myriad Dao.

If the sect leader found out, he would not escape punishnt.

Although Chen Shi and Nangong Jiuxi were master and disciple, their relationship was extrely poor.

The reason for this was that Nangong Jiuxi had developed a girlish crush on Jiang Chen after hearing so rumors, and Chen Shi was unhappy because his own Old Ancestor had beco a protector, often speaking ill of Jiang Chen.

“Sigh…”

Unable to control his own disciple, Chen Shi was extrely helpless.

He did not want to make a big fuss.

Seeing the guards preparing to retaliate, he quickly took out a bag of spirit stones from his bosom and said, “I am the Great Elder of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect. My unruly disciple is beyond my control. These extra spirit stones are for compensation.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiuxi’s eyebrows furrowed, but in the end, she remained silent.

The guards who had just been glaring at each other were suddenly taken aback.

“Cough, cough.”

The injured cultivator coughed and stepped forward with a forced smile, “No worries, no worries, it’s all trivial! Since it’s the Myriad Dao Demon Sect, then you are one of us.”

One of us?

Chen Shi was puzzled. Nangong Jiuxi also blinked in confusion.

Specifically, the city belonged to the Imperial Dynasty’s influence, while the Myriad Dao Demon Sect was a demonic sect.

How could these two be considered one and the sa?

Unable to figure it out, Chen Shi gave up.

After thanking them with a bow, he led Nangong Jiuxi into the city.

“Is she the one?”

“Yes, it’s her!”

“Waa~ It’s so touching, I hope she has a good ending in this life.”

“To live for him, to die for him, the only wish in this life is to be by his side, to live under the sa roof, and to share the sa grave…”

“Stop it! I’m going to cry too!”

“How unjust the heavens are!”

“…”

The voices of the guards’ discussion followed behind them.

Although the voices were soft, Chen Shi and Nangong Jiuxi still heard them clearly.

Seeing Nangong Jiuxi standing there in a daze with a sowhat bewildered expression, Chen Shi said, “Those guards have malice in their eyes. They are all mad, just spouting nonsense.”

“…”

Nangong Jiuxi did not respond but just nodded her head.
