After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 315 - Hongyi’s Letter

Chapter 315: Hongyi’s Letter

That night, in the Tower Master’s hall.

Since all the elders had just returned, the hall was filled to the brim.

Shi Ning still occupied the Tower Master’s seat, yawning from time to time, appearing somewhat lazy.

“Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!!” Yu Shi roared from below.

His head was covered in bumps, and he looked extremely disheveled as he jumped up and down in anger!

He cursed Dong Yao for being ungrateful and the other pill refiner masters for having the audacity to the Great Elder of the Ancient Pill Tower!

But the more enraged he became, the more Shi Ning felt like laughing.

Finally, Shi Ning couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing...

This made Yu Shi’s face turn even more ashen as he questioned, “I have exhausted my mind and body for the Ancient Pill Tower. Tower Master, seeing that group of pill refiner masters throw pill cauldrons at me, why do you ignore it?!”

“Aren’t most of those pill refiner masters your people?”

Shi Ning blinked and countered, “Isn’t this just the way you guys normally greet each other?”

“...” Yu Shi was speechless.

What a way to ‘greet’ someone.

He was almost smashed to death!

Dwelling on this issue would only make him the laughingstock of others, so with a cold snort, Yu Shi took his seat.

“Let’s talk, where have you all been during this time you’ve been missing?” He looked around at the other elders and asked.

“Why do I have to tell you?” Xu An rolled his eyes.

“????”

Yu Shi was dumbfounded.

What is going on?

He knew Xu An was interested in Shi Ning and was the only elder not on his side, but previously, Xu An had always been submissive in front of him, not daring to contradict him.

How come today he had the courage of a bear and a leopard?!

Yu Shi narrowed his eyes and gave Xu Ping, who was sitting next to him, a signal.

Yu Shi’s idea was simple.

Xu Ping was Xu An’s blood brother.

Having Xu Ping scolded on his behalf would not only show his own prestige but also avoid a direct confrontation with Xu An, killing two birds with one stone.

It had always been like this in the past.

Whenever Xu An wanted to help Shi Ning and proposed different ideas, Xu Ping would scold him until he was covered in verbal blood.

This time, Yu Shi thought it should be the same.

But unexpectedly, Xu Ping scoffed after seeing Yu Shi signaling him and said, “Great Elder, you got sand in your eyes?”

“????”

Yu Shi was even more confused.

Thinking that Xu Ping might not have understood his intentions, he made several more gestures with his eyes.

“So it turns out there’s a problem with your eyes!”

Xu Ping ‘suddenly realized’ and said, “In that case, Great Elder, you should step down and find a place to wait for death.”

“!?”

Hearing this, Yu Shi was furious.

Although he didn’t understand why Xu Ping was acting out of character today, his patience had reached its limit!

For the sake of the Alchemy Conference, he couldn’t punish those hundred pill refiner masters, but now, if he didn’t punish the Xu brothers, where would his dignity as the Great Elder be?

He had to make an example!

“How dare you!”

Yu Shi stood up and shouted, “Xu Ping! You dare to contradict me in public? According to the sect rules, this is a grave disrespect!”

“Sect rules? The sect rules only follow the Tower Master’s word, where does it say we have to follow the Great Elder’s rules?”

Xu Ping continued to scoff, his eyes suddenly fierce, “You old coot, believe it or not, I’ll deal with you!”

Deal with me? And calling me an old coot?!

“Good! Very good! Xu Ping, you really are something!” Yu Shi was even angrier, laughing in his rage.

After speaking, he looked at the other elders and commanded in an undeniable tone, “Seize the Xu brothers, Xu An and Xu Ping, and after the Alchemy Conference, we will deal with them!”

“Heh.”

The response was a collective sneer.

“You old coot, I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”

After a loud shout, Xu Ping took the lead, wielding a spiritual weapon and charging at Yu Shi.

Xu An followed closely behind.

The cultivation of the two brothers was comparable to Yu Shi’s, and they complemented each other well.

In just a few moments, they had beaten Yu Shi into howling miserably.

If Shi Ning hadn’t intervened, unable to watch any longer, the two brothers would have beaten the crap out of Yu Shi!

And all the while, the other elders just watched while occasionally giving a round of applause.

“Have you all gone mad?!” After managing to save his life, Yu Shi hid behind Shi Ning and shouted.

“Mad? How could we possibly be mad?” Xu An said with a narrowed-eye smile.

“We’ve simply seen through your true nature as the Great Elder, nothing but a rat!” Xu Ping added.

As they spoke, they could no longer restrain the malice in their hearts.

In an instant, he was surrounded by a malevolent aura, emitting a strange ‘keke’ laughter.

Witnessing this scene, Yu Shi was shocked!

Indeed, they had gone mad! Just as expected, wherever Jiang Chen went, madness followed!

“Shi Ning! How will you bear such responsibility?!” Yu Shi asked loudly.

“...” Shi Ning remained silent.

She never anticipated such a situation.

She considered herself very sane, but how could she remain so under these circumstances?

At this moment, she thought of Jiang Chen.

She had thought the rumors of Jiang Chen driving people mad were just that, rumors, but now the ironclad truth was right before her eyes.

If there was anyone to blame, it was herself for being soft-hearted.

She had allowed Jiang Chen, the man who secretly loved her, into the Ancient Pill Tower!

She brought disaster upon the Ancient Pill Tower!

“Sigh...”

With a long sigh, Shi Ning took out the Tower Master token from her spirit ring, intending to hand it over to Yu Shi.

At this point, further discussion was futile.

She had no choice but to take full responsibility for the situation, as she had promised.

Yu Shi felt it was only right and instinctively reached out to take the token.

But as soon as he extended his hand, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

As he trembled, he looked around to see a group of elders looking at him with an indescribable gaze!

Their eyes seemed to say...

Dare to take it, and you die!

“Gulp—”

At this moment, Yu Shi finally felt the terror of being dominated by madmen.

He also realized that with his insufficient cultivation, he simply couldn’t subdue this group of lunatics!

“Cough!”

After a light cough, Yu Shi pushed the Tower Master token back and said, “Let’s discuss the specific responsibilities after the Alchemy Conference!”

Seeing his difficulty, Shi Ning nodded.

At the same time, the madmen shifted their gazes away.

In reality, elders like Xu An from the Ancient Pill Tower wanted to kill Yu Shi directly, but they couldn’t act now for two reasons.

First, the Alchemy Conference was about to begin, and since Jiang Chen wanted to participate, they had to support him.

Internal strife within the Ancient Pill Tower would completely ruin the Alchemy Conference.

Second, Shi Ning was still unaware of the ‘truth’, and if they acted, they would surely be stopped!

Since the Ancient Pill Tower’s Old Ancestor and the old Tower Master had fallen, Shi Ning’s cultivation was the highest in the Ancient Pill Tower.

If she was determined to save Yu Shi, the others would be powerless.

Glancing at Shi Ning, who was still blaming herself, Xu An quickly stepped forward and handed her a jade slip.

“What is this?” Shi Ning was puzzled.

“The truth!” Xu An said with a serious expression.

Shi Ning shook her head, feeling like she was hearing nonsense.

But as soon as her divine consciousness entered the jade slip, she quickly heard a sentence:

“My life will not last long, sister, come to Jiuyan Demonic Sect quickly.”

The voice was weary, the breath weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, burning out its last bit of light.

“Sister...”

Upon hearing this, Shi Ning burst into tears and immediately rushed out the door.
