--- Chapter 248 ---
Deep beneath the Fallen Orchid Sect, an illusory black-white flame raged and burnt intensely. Within the flame is a beautiful, white-haired woman meditating in silence.
The woman possessed unmatched beauty, but what made her special was the terrifying aura around her. She didn't feel like a human but a higher being in the lower realm.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean she has ascended to a higher dimension. This demonic sensation coming from the woman's body made one's skin crawl in goosebumps as if the woman had crawled out of hell herself.
With every breath the demonic beauty took, the demonic aura became stronger and stronger. The black-white flame only acts as a barrier so the aura doesn't explode and destroy the cave.
Lan Rou slowly opened her eyes and asked, "How is the situation?"
"Ain has returned." replied a voice in the darkness.
"He met with Yafei and saved a girl in the Jia Nan Academy. Apparently, she was the last member of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe after the Hall of Souls decimated it."
"That sounds exactly like what Ain would do..." Lan Rou smiled faintly. Her crescent eyes betrayed her longing for her man.
"What about the sect? Have the Demonic Factions surrounded us?"
"Yes, they have surrounded us." Another voice in the darkness replied.
"Everything is going as planned."
Lan Rou nodded calmly, "I'm on a crucial period to enter Half-Step Dou God Realm. I can't move my position, or else there will be a complication in my Dou Energy and Soul."
"So, I will leave the matter of Fallen Orchid Sect to you two."
Two people are coming from the darkness. They are none other than Lan Rou's incarnation themselves, coming from her Six Path Behemoth's ability.
When Baek Ain was about to go to Heaven Genesis World, Lan Rou could only summon one incarnation. Now, she could summon two without much problem.
Of course, Lan Rou also paid a considerable price.
Since these incarnations 'literally' are formed by Lan Rou's memories, their death will result in her losing those parts of her memories and injuring her foundation as a cultivator.
If Lan Rou hadn't tempered herself with Unfinished Samsara, she wouldn't have dared to do this reckless method.
Even then, Lan Rou is confident in her incarnation. Their strength is that of the 4th and 5th Star of Dou Saint, respectively, so not many people could contest against them in the Central Plains.
The Hall of Souls couldn't fork Dou Saint Experts recklessly, so they would use dark methods to deal with the Fallen Orchid Sect.
And Lan Rou's incarnation would prevent that from happening.
Lan Rou's incarnations nodded, "Understood."
"Leave the matter of protecting the sect to us." After saying that, they vanished and left Lan Rou alone in the cave.
Lan Rou emptily stared at the wall and sighed, "Ain, you're the brightest star in the world. No, you're my brightest star..."
"However, if I couldn't stand beside you, what is the use of my existence?"
"I don't want to be left behind in the dust... I want to be your support and sword against those who fought us in the past, present, or future."
"I will show them your wife is no pushover."
With that in mind, Lan Rou's crystal eyes dimmed and seemingly became demonic red under the influence of the Six Path Reincarnation Flame. At this very moment, Lan Rou is trying to experience the fifth baptism and reincarnation.
She has lived four lives of the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame.
The fifth one is that of Asura!
Yes, Lan Rou is willingly becoming Asura for Baek Ain. It shows just how strong her love for him is.
....
...
At the same time, Lan Rou's incarnation appeared in the sky.
They gazed down the mountain and saw the people from the Jade Demon Sect, Heavenly Feather Sect, and Hall of Souls sealing the area. They left no spot to run and sealed the space so the Fallen Orchid Sect couldn't teleport.
"Surprisingly, the Moon Purifying Sect didn't ally themselves with the Hall of Souls." Lan Rou's 1st incarnation commented.
The second incarnation shook her head gently, "The Moon Purifying Sect is always the neutral party in the Demonic Region. They also act more like Orthodox Sect than the Demonic One..."
"Even with that trait, the Moon Purifying Sect is still within the same rank as Jade Demon and Heavenly Feather."
"They are most likely waiting for the winner."
"What makes you think they are confident with us?" The first incarnation questioned calmly.
The second incarnation frowned slightly, "That I don't know..."
"The Yin-Yang Orchid Clan and Fallen Orchid Sect have no relation with the Moon Purifying Sect."
"At the same time, the Heavenly Feather Sect had no qualms with us before, but they still attacked anyway. The only answer is that they somehow know our relationship with Ain."
"I think so, too." The first incarnation nodded solemnly. "Do you think they know Ain's real identity?"
"That's impossible." The second incarnation denied her wild guess immediately.
"Let alone them. We'd have time to recognize Ain's disguise if we don't connect to him spiritually. His skill is too strong for the soul sense to see through it."
"The only logical answer is Future Sight."
"Future Sight..." The first incarnation mumbled to herself. "You're right, and that should be the case. On our side, only Cai Lin could see through the future and even warn us."
"There is also the possibility of Cai Lin's intervention on the Moon Purifying Sect's side."
"The Moon Purifying Sect, after all, has a Demonic Serpent's lineage."
As Lan Rou's incarnation bickered in the sky, someone suddenly rose to the Fallen Orchid Sect's mountain range.
It was a man in a green robe with a terrifying aura.
A gigantic green skull appeared in the sky, pressuring the defensive array formation on the Fallen Orchid Sect. The 'powerful' might of Dou Saint Expert caused the sky to roll and create extreme turbulence.
"LAN ROUXI! SHOW YOURSELF, AND GIVE UP!" The green-robed man shouted, causing everyone below Dou Saint to tremble in fear.
BOOOM!
CRACK!
The defensive array formation cracked.
Lan Rou's incarnation frowned slightly at this sight.
"This guy is..." The first incarnation narrowed her eyes.
"There is no mistake. This man is that annoying fellow from the Jade Demon Sect's Zhong Clan, Zhong Li." The second incarnation added casually.
"After a few hundred years, he became the Jade Demon Sect's Leader and actually reached Dou Saint Realm."
"It seems he was still obsessive about marrying us."
"We are his target from the beginning."
"In his dream." The first incarnation snorted. Lan Rou, and they only belonged to their beloved Ain alone.
The second incarnation agreed with her.
Zhong Li displayed the strength of the 7th Star Dou Saint, but that wasn't enough to make Lan Rou's incarnation break a sweat.
One's cultivation base doesn't mean everything in this world.
"I will go. You maintain the formation array." said the second incarnation as she descended from the sky.
Zhong Li's face brightened upon seeing Lan Rou's 2nd incarnation, "Haha, I know you would show yourself, Rouxi."
"Good, good."
"Let's get married, and I will spare your puny sect."
Lan Rou's 2nd incarnation maintained a calm face, "No."
"No?" Zhong Li's face darkened.
"DO YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCE OF REJECTING ME?!"
Lan Rou's 2nd incarnation shrugged coldly, "I don't care."
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
"My heart only belonged to one man only."
"No other men could beat him, especially a trash like you..."
Zhong Li's body exploded with a fearsome demonic aura, "Looks like I can only take you by force..."
"So be it. It's a shame that I might cut one or two limbs off your beautiful body."
"Rouxi, today, you will be mine!"
'What a disgusting man...' Lan Rou's 2nd incarnation thought to herself.
Well, she was more than ready to fight this disgusting trash of a human being.
