Chapter 289: Dao Heart Shattered… Again… and Again…

“Hm? Strange, isn’t this a Heavenly Grade magical treasure?”

The bamboo flute was indeed a Heavenly Grade magical treasure.

But after sniffing it from the left and the right, Yao Mengyun detected an unusual aura.

The aura was slightly strange, a scent she had never encountered before.

Moreover, it was very faint, almost completely dissipated.

But even so, Yao Mengyun still sensed something amiss.

Heavenly Grade magical treasures were the most precious magical treasures in the Lanchuan Continent.

Even Great Emperor experts might go mad for them.

The grade of a Heavenly Grade magical treasure was so high that it could slowly communicate with the world’s Spiritual Energy without any manipulation.

Because of this, Heavenly Grade magical treasures could purify themselves and wouldn’t be tainted by any worldly aura.

But, what was this scent?

Curiosity arose within her.

After all, she was relying on this bamboo flute to defeat Nie Chen and overcome her persistent inner demons.

Extremely cautious, Yao Mengyun decided to investigate thoroughly first.

It just so happened that before arriving at the Forbidden Area, the saintess had taught her an extremely miraculous spell.

Although this spell wasn’t considered particularly powerful, it could trace things back to their source.

Coincidentally, it was perfectly suited for use on the bamboo flute.

‘As expected of Elder Sister, as if she could predict the future!’

Yao Mengyun suddenly felt a surge of excitement, her admiration for her elder sister deepening.

“Just the last stretch left, Miss Mengyun, you can do it!”

“Miss Mengyun, you can definitely defeat Nie Chen!”

At this moment, the two female disciples of the Sacred Lands of Fanhua below began cheering encouragingly.

Their eyes held endless anticipation as they continuously cheered for Yao Mengyun.

“Don’t worry, with this bamboo flute, I can definitely defeat Nie Chen.”

Yao Mengyun smiled confidently and merged her consciousness with the bamboo flute.

Next, it would be the moment she avenged her past humiliation, defeated Nie Chen, and eradicated her inner demons!

Never having felt such confidence before, Yao Mengyun couldn’t help but smile.

Using the secret technique imparted by Saintess Fanhua, all the source-tracing auras on the bamboo flute transformed into a river, slowly flowing into her mind.

But the moment she sensed the aura, Yao Mengyun’s expression changed slightly.

Immediately afterward, her body trembled uncontrollably.

“Clatter.”

In mid-air, the bamboo flute in Yao Mengyun’s hand fell, landing on the gold-cast steps.

Even though it was a Heavenly Grade magical treasure, it couldn’t alleviate her sudden shock.

Yao Mengyun’s eyes widened slightly, filled with extreme astonishment.

Even her complexion rapidly paled.

“How… how is this possible!”

In an instant, Yao Mengyun’s expression completely changed.

Her lips were pale and trembling slightly, her eyes vacant and filled with infinite shock.

“It… it really is like this.”

She staggered back a step, her body trembling slightly, appearing so pitiful and helpless.

Because on the bamboo flute, Yao Mengyun clearly sensed an aura she couldn’t believe no matter what.

On the bamboo flute, there was a mixture of Nie Chen’s, Empress Qingyue’s, and her elder sister Saintess Fanhua’s auras.

Saintess Fanhua’s aura was slightly faint, while Nie Chen’s and the Empress’s auras were extremely strong on the bamboo flute.

Apparently, there had been extremely close and intimate contact between the two.

Perhaps, even the saintess had been with them.

What exactly did Nie Chen, the Empress, and Saintess Fanhua do together?

If it were before, Yao Mengyun might not have given it much thought.

But recalling Saintess Fanhua’s murmurs about Nie Chen, which had shattered her Dao Heart last time, And combined with the recent rumors of Nie Chen carrying the Empress back to his bedchamber, A terrifying thought instantly surfaced in Yao Mengyun’s mind.

She couldn’t believe it, and she didn’t want to believe it.

What she had heard with her own ears before, combined with those seemingly absurd rumors, All the clues pointed to a truth she couldn’t deny.

If the rumors were false, then what were the scent and aura on this bamboo flute?

If the rumors were false, then what were her elder sister Saintess Fanhua’s murmurs in the bedchamber about Nie Chen “not being gentle” that she had accidentally overheard that day?

All of this forced Yao Mengyun to believe.

And if all the clues were gathered and were all true…

Yao Mengyun took another step back, feeling not only emptiness, But also deep fear and helplessness spreading throughout her eyes.

In other words…

Not only her elder sister, but even Empress Qingyue had fallen victim to Nie Chen.

Perhaps, the three of them even… together…

Yao Mengyun didn’t want to imagine that outrageous and rebellious scene, but the facts were right in front of her, making it impossible for her to escape the boundless imagination.

Nie Chen, this terrifying existence, had not only harmed her elder sister Saintess Fanhua, But even the Empress couldn’t escape his clutches.

“Those are two Great Emperor experts!”

Yet they couldn’t resist, only submitting to Nie Chen.

Even Saintess Fanhua and Empress Qingyue couldn’t resist, so who in the entire Lanchuan Continent could stop Nie Chen?

It was feared that it wouldn’t be long before Nie Chen extended his evil hand and reached out to all the women in Lanchuan Continent.

Even she might not be able to escape his clutches!

The Lanchuan Continent seemed peaceful on the surface.

But no one knew that the true Righteous Sect King hidden behind the scenes was actually Nie Chen!

Yao Mengyun cried out continuously, feeling utterly helpless and insignificant.

No matter how she tried, she couldn’t escape Nie Chen’s terrifying clutches!

What severing inner demons? What stabilizing Dao Heart?

Nie Chen had always been the devil lurking in the deepest depths, and no woman could escape from his grasp!

“Plop.”

A tear slipped down, landing on the bamboo flute that had fallen on the steps.

At this moment, Yao Mengyun shed helpless tears amidst boundless fear.

“This… Miss Mengyun, what’s wrong?”

“Why is Miss Mengyun crying!”

Everyone clearly saw Yao Mengyun, who was about to reach the peak, suddenly stop.

Not only did the bamboo flute in her hand fall to the ground, but she also couldn’t help but shed tears.

“Crack.”

In mid-air, a sound like something shattering rang out.

“I… I really didn’t do it on purpose!”

The two female disciples looked at each other in dismay, almost crying out.

They never imagined that their jinx would actually come true.

“Hm?”

Even Nie Chen turned around.

He had planned to wait for this fragile little girl to take a few more steps before clearing the stage.

But unexpectedly, upon turning around, Yao Mengyun retreated instead of advancing, taking several steps back.

There even seemed to be tears in her eyes.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully shattering Yao Mengyun’s Dao Heart again]

[Reward obtained: Spirit Birth Eye Upgrade – Insight into Weaknesses]

[Reward obtained: Venomous Tongue]

Nie Chen couldn’t help but reveal an awkward expression:

“Uh, again?”
