After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 421 Self-Destruction of Demon Core!

"Hahaha... You still want to save this fool I possessed? How laughable, truly laughable. He puts on a righteous and awe-inspiring facade in public, but inside he's crying and begging me to resurrect his wife."

While sneering at Wang Mingzhi, he painfully vomited a large pool of blood.

"I merely tricked him into believing that extracting the life force of the living could revive his deceased wife, and he actually believed it! There were so many human bones in the secret room, but I didn't kill them. It was their respected and beloved city lord who took their lives with his own hands... Hahaha, if he hadn't been so stupid, I wouldn't have been able to recover from half of my injuries and take the opportunity to possess him and seize his position!"

"What resurrection of a deceased wife? Where was he when his wife died? You human cultivators are all so hypocritical and ridiculous, yet you put on a loving act afterward..."

Jiang Liqian never expected that those people were really killed by the city lord of Chang Le City. In his daughter's words, her parents were such upright people who protected the people of this region!

However, in that moment of distraction, "Wang Mingzhi" seized the opportunity. He struggled and the Floating Snow Belt shattered instantly.

He roared, "Prism!"

A prism?

Is the legendary Thousand-Prism Divine Mirror a divine artifact that can see through all the fundamental forms of things, predict the future, and control time, and is said to be a thousand faces?

Jiang Liqian was shocked and recalled the Floating Snow Belt, which directly wrapped around Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao, quickly taking them away from here.

His gaze darkened, and he was no longer prepared to give them a chance to resist.

He held the afterimage of the Heavenly Emperor in his hand, and with each swing, he unleashed a terrifying sword intent, accompanied by the faint rumble of thunder, which drew nearer from afar.

The next instant, a carved prism stood firmly in front of her.

The sword shadow shattered inch by inch in her hand, and Jiang Liqian's barely stabilized spiritual power surged violently again, causing her to rush towards the Thousand Prism Mirror due to inertia.

Wang Mingzhi's eyes widened, his face showing a gleeful smile at the impending death of his enemy. However, his smile froze halfway through.

Not only was Jiang Liqian not torn to pieces by the Thousand Prism, but she actually fell into it. The next moment, she emerged from the Thousand Prism, covered in blood, her aura fierce. The Thousand Prism, which had been obeying her commands, actually changed position, freezing her in place.

Jiang Liqian gasped for breath, her eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty, her mind flashing back to the scene she had just seen in the mirror.

The back of a young girl.

His hands were constantly carving something.

—It seems to be floating flowers.

From slender, delicate fingers to hands covered in blood and flesh, from youthful days to graying hair, from fair skin and slender bones to withered and emaciated appearance, from life to death, and then from death to life.

Through countless reincarnations and rebirths, they do the same thing over and over again.

She wanted to go up and see who she was, so she went back to where she was.

"Impossible! I retrieved the Thousand Prism Mirror from the secret realm with great difficulty. If it weren't for it, how could Bai Yi have exiled me so easily? Why, why would it protect you?"

Bai Yi, is he referring to his fourth senior brother?

Fourth Senior Brother hasn't returned to the sect. Was he in Xizhou?

Jiang Liqian forced herself to calm down quickly. Since the real Wang Mingzhi was also a bloodthirsty executioner, she no longer needed to be timid and think about how to save him.

Jiang Liqian summoned the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl, determined to kill him completely this time to eliminate future troubles!

"Impossible, impossible... Heaven is clearly on my side, how, how could you be the master of the Thousand Prism? How could a divine artifact recognize a little girl like you as its master? I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

Wang Mingzhi was in a daze, gritting his teeth, and gradually his eyes became bloodshot. He suddenly glared fiercely at Jiang Liqian. Seeing her killing move, he was not afraid. Instead, he laughed loudly, and his demonic aura surged.

"Fine, if you won't let me live, I'll make everyone in this city pay with their lives!"

As he spoke, a huge, eerie green vortex appeared behind him.

Oh no, he's about to self-destruct his demon core!

Jiang Liqian was shocked. She knew that the self-destruction of a demon core in the Nascent Soul stage could turn everything within a thousand miles into dust!

The old and children, commoners and cultivators of the entire city will all perish here.

It seems he was truly driven to the brink and was prepared to perish together with others.

We absolutely cannot let him succeed!

Even if she dies here, it can't be!!!

"Shitian, Shitian!"

Jiang Liqian's lips turned pale, and she raised her hand and shouted angrily.

A clearer sword shadow instantly appeared in her hand, its sound resonating and echoing through the heavens.

Jiang Liqian frantically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, pouring it all into her longsword. Blood beads seeped from her skin, but she paid no heed until the moment her body was about to give out. Then, gripping the sword, she resolutely thrust it towards the demon about to self-destruct.

Everything seemed to freeze for a moment, and then something shattered with a "crack" sound.

Wang Mingzhi suddenly coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.

Looking at Jiang Liqian, he smiled strangely.

"Do you think everyone around you is a good person? A righteous and upright disciple of the Tianqian Sect who slays demons and monsters... Ha, ha, you'll only die a more miserable death than me..."

In the next instant, he shattered into pieces in front of the Thousand Prism, turning into light dust.

"Spreading heresy and misleading the public; stubborn and obstinate!"

As Jiang Li finished speaking with a cold look in her eyes, she lost consciousness at the same moment. She could no longer resist and was thrown away by the enormous backlash. All the surrounding houses collapsed and shattered in this attack.

The Thousand Prisms transformed into translucent triangular scales that flew toward Jiang Liqian's withered wood ring, piercing inch by inch into the purple lightning ring, and instantly annihilating its own divine aura.

Just as her body was about to fall into the collapsed ruins, a streak of blue light rushed towards her like a madman. He reached out and gently, tremblingly, caught her.

Cold liquid droplets splattered onto her face. Jiang Liqian tried to open her eyes wide to see the person's features, but all she could see was blood; she couldn't see any other color.

But from that voice, from his choked sobs, she knew who it was.

She opened her mouth, blood gushing from her throat, and managed to utter a weak voice: "Junior...junior brother..."

"Don't speak," he pleaded, desperately wiping the blood from her mouth, his voice breaking, "Please, senior sister, don't speak, don't speak, I'll save you..."

Jiang Liqian wanted to shake her head.

She knew what would happen to her if she stopped a Nascent Soul cultivator from self-destructing. The fact that she didn't die immediately was because the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl had shielded her from half of the backlash.

But she had no strength left.

There's none left.

Actually, it was all for the best. In the end, she died in her junior brother's arms, and she also saved the entire city...

"No, senior sister, I won't let you close your eyes. Hold on, hold on..."

"Senior sister!"
