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

Chapter 126

Xiao Hongyi very much agreed with Jiang Chen’s words.

Li Fadu had learned the concept of “If I don’t enter hell, who will?”

He was probably not just a spy but a deeply embedded one!

“…”

Li Fadu was speechless, feeling that this was not what he had expected.

It seems like his persuasion failed? Or perhaps, it wasn’t shocking enough?

He thought, words are indeed too pale and weak. Only concrete actions can truly persuade someone! To demonstrate his determination, he gritted his teeth and threw the pill he was holding into his mouth! Then he swallowed…

Swallowed a mouthful of air!

“Huh? Where’s the pill?” Li Fadu blinked in confusion.

Nothing.

Then he looked at the ground.

Also nothing.

“Has it gone to hell?” Li Fadu became even more bewildered.

Suddenly, Xiao Hongyi’s voice rang out: “It would be a waste for you to consume this pill. Better let me keep it.”

Hearing this, Li Fadu quickly checked.

Sure enough, the Seven Abyss Pill that he had just tossed into the air a second ago was now in Xiao Hongyi’s hand!

She was delicately examining it with her fingers, her fair cheeks blooming with a smile!

This made Jiang Chen pause for a moment, but he soon understood.

In his view, his master might be mad, but she still had a heart that couldn’t bear to see harm done, probably using this method to stop Li Fadu from ‘committing suicide’.

‘Compared to people like Jiang Lianyue, my master is still relatively sane,’ Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Li Fadu, however, was still utterly astonished.

His thoughts aligned with Jiang Chen’s, but he was even more amazed by Xiao Hongyi’s cultivation level!

Before her madness, Xiao Hongyi was at the early stage of the Fate Transformation realm in the Upper Four Realms.

With such cultivation, taking something from thin air is indeed very simple, but it definitely can’t be done silently!

Now, the fact that Jiang Chen had given Xiao Hongyi the Phoenix Essence Blood to use was almost universally known.

And after merging with the Phoenix Essence Blood, Xiao Hongyi became a true phoenix body, and everyone guessed that her cultivation must have improved.

But… this improvement was a bit too much.

In the Central Domain, the cultivation progress of Upper Four Realms cultivators is extremely slow. Without special opportunities, even those with excellent talent would need decades to break through even a minor realm.

But after merging with the Phoenix Essence Blood, Xiao Hongyi might have directly broken through two minor realms, advancing to the late stage of Fate Transformation!

She must have experienced a profound comprehension of heaven and earth. Only then could she be so silent.

And with such cultivation, she could stand shoulder to shoulder with many Supreme Elders of the Jiuyan Sect!

The gap between the major realms of the Upper Four Realms is like a chasm, and the gap between minor realms is equally immeasurable.

The simplest example is that in a battle between ordinary Upper Four Realms cultivators within the same major realm, if one’s cultivation is a minor realm higher than the other’s, it can lead to a complete defeat!

Li Fadu, although now reshaping his Core Formation, had once touched the edge of the Upper Four Realms, so he knew a bit about these matters.

At this moment, he was both shocked and excited!

He was shocked by the effect of the Phoenix Essence Blood and excited that the Jiuyan Sect had gained another powerful member!

Although this powerful member was a bit mad…

“Congratulations to the Ninth Peak’s Peak Master for your advancement in cultivation!”

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Fadu bowed in salute.

“Scram,” Xiao Hongyi said impatiently with a wave of her hand.

“Ah.”

……

Several days later, Zhang Hu woke up.

After resting for half a month, most of his injuries had healed, but the mental trauma was still there.

The first thing he did upon waking up was cry.

He didn’t understand. Why was it always him who got hurt?

Jiang Chen beat him up, Lin Mubai chopped at her, and Qingning scared him.

Lin Feng joined the sect and thought he had found a kindred spirit, but Jiang Chen threw him off the cliff.

Was all this because he wasn’t cowardly enough?

No, because he was always extremely cowardly in front of Jiang Chen.

Was it because he wasn’t flattering enough, not good at brown-nosing?

Zhang Hu turned his head and looked at the book ‘From Beginner to Master in Flattery’ on the bedside table, which he had almost worn out, and he didn’t think that was it either.

So what was the reason for all this?

In the end, Zhang Hu found the answer.

He wasn’t strong enough!

If he could overpower all the true disciples of the Ninth Peak in cultivation, he wouldn’t be beaten up!

“I must become stronger! I must stand tall and proud! I want to be the tiger among tigers, I want no one in this world to bully me again!” Leaping up from the bed, Zhang Hu swore to the heavens.

His expression fell as soon as he finished speaking, and he sighed sadly.

His talent was limited, and he had no fortune. Even if he practiced day and night, he couldn’t catch up with Jiang Chen and the other true disciples of the Ninth Peak.

To put it bluntly, he was just an ordinary cultivator.

A cultivator who could only be trampled and bullied by the strong, with no power to resist.

“How unfair is this world!” Zhang Hu pounded his chest and wept bitterly.

“Creak—”

The door to the room was suddenly pushed open. It was Great Elder Lu Yang’s arrival.

Before entering, Lu Yang had heard Zhang Hu’s indignant voice, and after entering, he let out a long sigh.

“Master, I might go mad if this continues,” Zhang Hu said with a choked voice.

“It’s okay.”

Lu Yang patted his shoulder to comforet him: “It doesn’t matter, several have gone mad already, one more won’t make a difference, I’m used to it.”

Zhang Hu was full of question marks!

Is this something a human would say?

He was Lu Yang’s eldest disciple! They had been master and disciple for more than ten years! What about their emotional bond?

“Disciple, during the time you were unconscious, many big things happened in the sect.”

Lu Yang said seriously, with a solemn expression: “There are some things I can’t tell you in detail. But I can remind you if you don’t want to go mad, stop harboring resentment towards Jiang Chen and thinking about taking his position as a true disciple.”

“I’m not!” Zhang Hu replied instantly.

He did indeed harbor grievances against Jiang Chen.

But honestly, at most, he was just a bit too happy when Jiang Chen was punished!

As for taking Jiang Chen’s position as a true disciple?

He only thought about it, didn’t dare, and didn’t have the ability to do it!

Even the last time he discussed with Lin Feng how to deal with Jiang Chen, he just wanted to wait for Jiang Chen to make a mistake and be punished so he could laugh a bit more!

The result was a fall off the cliff and nearly biting the dust!

“Disciple, I have a strategy that can ensure your safety!” Lu Yang said again.

“What strategy? Master, please tell me quickly!” Zhang Hu asked eagerly.

“How about…”

After a slight pause, Lu Yang made a shocking suggestion: “You go and become Jiang Chen’s lackey. How about that?”

Zhang Hu felt like he was seeing a madman.

If the person in front of him wasn’t his master, he might even curse.

Become Jiang Chen’s lackey?

Could he, the first under the true disciples under the Ninth Peak, do such a thing?

More importantly, when Lu Yang used to mention Jiang Chen, he would get so angry that he would puff out his beard and glare, and now…

He actually wanted to send his eldest disciple into the fire pit!

“Master, have you gone mad?” Zhang Hu asked incredulously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.

How could he say such a thing carelessly? And the other party was his master?

What if Lu Yang got angry? He might get beaten up again!

Just as Zhang Hu was about to explain himself….

“Nonsense, your master is trying hard not to go mad!” Lu Yang said with a stern face.

Zhang Hu was taken aback, filled with doubt and shock.

“You can take your time to consider my suggestion. I, as your master, would not harm you.”

Lu Yang changed the subject, saying, “The Peak Master has ordered that you go see her as soon as you wake up. Remember, when you see the Peak Master, it’s best not to speak badly! The Peak Master… think about people like Jiang Lianyue, you know what I mean!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hu first frowned in thought, then quickly nodded incessantly, looking very much like he “got it.”

In his view, with the successive madness of the Ninth Peak’s true disciples, Xiao Hongyi must be heartbroken.

Jiang Chen had also thrown him and Lin Feng off the cliff, which added disappointment to her sorrow!

Xiao Hongyi must be feeling terrible now, right?

If asked about the fall from the cliff, he would not exaggerate but simply tell the truth.

“Don’t worry, Master, I know what to do,” Zhang Hu said.
