white cold iron pierces fiercely into the girl's dantian and abdomen. Xie Feifei looks at the trembling body of the girl at her feet and curls her red lips.
"Chu Ru, do you really think you can get into the Demon - Suppressing Division?"
"So what if your biological mother is the eldest princess? So what if you're a princess? You're just a baleful star who killed your own mother! His Majesty and the Empress Dowager don't even remember who you are at all!"
"In your father's eyes, you are the biggest stain of his life!"
"I'm the legitimate daughter of the marquis's mansion. How dare you snatch my quota?!"
Xie Feifei sneers wickedly, pulls out the blood - stained blade, and stabs down hard again, almost tearing open the girl's entire abdomen.
Looking at the pair of resentful eyes below, Xie Feifei smiles triumphantly.
"Are you curious why your spiritual power has completely disappeared all of a sudden?"
"Do you really think that Cousin Xu Tianci would take a fancy to a little bastard like you? He mixed the Spirit - Dissolving Powder into the medicinal pills he gave you. Hehe~ Even if you manage to survive, you'll just become a useless person with severed spiritual veins!"
Chu Ru's eyes widen in anger. Due to the effect of the medicine, she can't make a sound.
She can only be at the mercy of others like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
Xu Tianci... It's actually him! It's him!!
"Below this cliff is a forbidden area. No one dares to come in. If you die down there, no one will even find your bones!"
Xie Feifei says triumphantly. Looking at Chu Ru's face, she frowns. "But before I kill you, I'm going to ruin this face of yours too!"
After saying that, she pulls out a hairpin and stabs fiercely at Chu Ru's face.
The hairpin pierces into the flesh, and one bloody hole after another appears on Chu Ru's face. The last hairpin even stabs directly into Chu Ru's eye...
If there were anyone else present, they would definitely be terrified to the point of their scalp tingling.
Chu Ru was still alive, but she couldn't make a sound. She was like a dying lamb, only making strange sobs in her throat. The hairpin was still deeply embedded in her right eye, and her left eye was wide - open, streaming with bloody tears...
Xie Feifei let out a long sigh of relief. After today, no one would be able to overshadow her anymore!
The quota for the Demon - Suppressing Division was surely hers!!
She carelessly stood up and kicked Chu Ru off the cliff with all her might.
Below the cliff was a forbidden area. Once one entered the forbidden area, there was no hope of survival!
No one knew what was actually in the forbidden area. In the land of Zhongzhou, no one dared to venture deep into the forbidden area!
Such a ghostly place was perfect for burying bones~
...
The girl died the moment she fell to the bottom of the cliff, filled with deep resentment.
Her limbs were strangely twisted, and the hairpin was still stuck in her eye socket.
The resentment seeped into the thick black fog at the bottom of the cliff, and the blood soaked into the pitch - black soil. Slowly... the soil beneath her seemed to wriggle.
In the black fog, a faint sigh was heard, as if muttering:
"It's very unkind to disturb someone's sleep..."
"Eh... the aura of this bloodline... seems familiar?"
The soil turned into a swamp, and something in the darkness was slowly devouring the girl's body, wrapping her up inch by inch.
I don't know how much time had passed, but the broken body was restored to its complete state.
The girl who should have been dead opened her eyes in the darkness.
She propped herself up with her arms and sat up, looking at this new body.
"Is it also called Chu Ru? What a coincidence."
Chu Ru curved her lips into a smile. She felt some obstruction in her right eye. She reached out and touched it, and the hairpin was still stuck in her eye.
She carelessly pulled out the hairpin. Blood streamed down her eye socket again, but there was an unusually joyful smile on her face, and she let out a soft hiss.
"It really hurts..."
After the long hairpin was pulled out, she blinked. The wound in her right eye healed instantly, but her pupils were as blood - red as those of a fierce ghost.
Her left eye was as dark as an abyss, and her right eye was as mysterious as a sea of blood.
Her name was Chu Ru, and her soul had been sealed here for a thousand years.
A thousand years ago, people called her Chu Yihou.
For a thousand years, people didn't know Chu Ru; they only knew the World - Destroying Demon, Chu Yihou!
As a former great demon, Chu Ru quickly assimilated the memories in her mind. She casually lamented that time had passed so quickly and then began to examine her current body.
According to blood relations, the owner of this body should be her... descendant?
Although she had been single all her life before her death, she had many siblings.
Chu Ru went through the memories of the original owner in her mind.
"Xie Feifei? A half - sister with the same father?"
"The spiritual veins are broken, and the dantian is destroyed. She really was ruthless. Do young girls nowadays have such a mean - spirited nature?"
Chu Ru sensed the cultivation level of this body. In this world a thousand years later, the level division was the same as in the past.
From low to high, they were Ge (individual), Bai (hundred), Qian (thousand), Wan (ten - thousand), and Xuan (mysterious).
Ordinary people were at the "Ge" level, and the initial stage of cultivation was the "Shi (ten) - stage".
That is to say, from the strength of one person to the strength of ten people.
When one had the strength of a hundred people, they were at the "Bai - stage".
Now, this body was only at the mid - stage of the Shi - stage. The spiritual power was shrouded in a faint white light, not to mention that the spiritual veins and dantian had been severed.
Fortunately, the power of her soul as Chu Yihou was still there!
Chu Ru roughly understood the current situation.
"A thousand years. My dear siblings should all be dead. It's a pity that I can't twist off your dog - heads with my own hands..."
In the darkness, Chu Ru's smile was brilliant, and the blood - red pupils of her right eye shimmered with a cold light.
Back then, when her dear elder brothers and sisters tore her apart and crushed her soul, they hadn't shown the slightest mercy!
In order to prevent her from coming back to life, they even suppressed her bones separately!
All of her former enemies were dead, and only a group of their unworthy descendants remained. Chu Ru was somewhat dispirited...
But one thing was for sure. Since she was back, she was determined to find out!
Who exactly betrayed her back then!!
She casually grumbled while her body didn't stop. She walked towards the depths of the darkness.
This body was extremely weak. In order to repair this physical body completely, she had already consumed a great deal of her soul power.
Fortunately, she knew that there was something in this forbidden area that could be of use!
In the depths of the darkness, there were faint white fireflies.
In this most sinister and strange place, pure - white flowers bloomed, a twin - flower.
But for Chu Ru, it was enough!
The Bone - Spirit Flower, a specialty of the forbidden area.
It blooms once every hundred years. Such a rare treasure only grows in places where sages are buried or where great demons have fallen!
In other words, it's a remarkable flower that blooms after remarkable people die!
The Bone - Spirit Pill refined from the Bone - Spirit Flower can nourish human flesh and blood and nurture the soul. It's an absolute holy medicine!
As for the Bone - Spirit Flower in the forbidden area~
The nutrients obviously come from the physical body of the great demon, Chu Yihou!
Logically speaking, since she had been dead for a thousand years, the remaining power of her physical body should have produced more than just one Bone - Spirit Flower!
There was only one possibility in the current situation!
After she died, someone had been happily feasting on the flowers that bloomed with her blood and bones. Every once in a while every hundred years, as soon as the Bone - Spirit Flower blooms, someone will come to harvest it!
Chu Ru laughed out loud.
Rather than benefiting others, it's better to benefit herself!
Facing the flower that bloomed from her own ashes, Chu Ru had no psychological burden at all when eating it. Eating herself, she truly was a tough person!
As soon as the flower entered her mouth, it turned into liquid. The powerful medicinal power instantly filled her whole body, circulating through her spiritual veins and all her limbs and bones. Her muscles and bones seemed as if they were about to burst, and even Chu Ru let out a hiss.
The pain made her body tremble involuntarily, but the smile on her face became even brighter.
"si... This is intense..."
What was there to be afraid of about pain? Pain meant she was still alive...
Chu Ru smiled as she ate the flower, enduring the pain. She raised her head and looked at the sky wrapped in thick black fog. The more it hurt, the brighter she smiled.
In the blood - red pupils of her right eye, blazing flames were churning. Word by word, it was as if she was informing someone:
"I'm back."
