I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 183 How can someone survive like this?

A burst of maniacal laughter suddenly rang out in the room.

Her delicate smile seemed both mad and manic, only gradually subsiding after a long while.

A fair, jade-like hand touched Fei Xi's uninjured cheek.

"My dear sister, I really like you so much."

Red and white's enthusiastic words were met with an indifferent face that seemed not to have heard them at all.

Fei Xi sat up straight, her eyes fixed on the person teasing her.

Seeing that she was completely unmoved and didn't fall for it, Qiu Shuying pinched Fei Xi's cheek as a form of revenge and continued:

"Indeed, if a person is seriously injured and on the verge of death, they can survive for a long time if they are soaked in my special life-giving soup. But to imagine being like an immortal, who can instantly and completely recover to the state before the injury as long as the head is not cut off, is simply beyond human capability. I even suspect that if there are really gods and ghosts in the world, that little bug named Kunke may be a remnant of a demon."

"Why wasn't it left behind by a deity?"

Fei Xi's question earned her a half-smile in return. Qiu Shuying proudly raised her head, her tone utterly disdainful:

"If a person could be resurrected and live forever with just a tiny insect, who would bother to seek immortality and offer gold and silver to gods and Buddhas?"

"Since Kunko is so magical, do you have any Kunko here, sister?"

"no!"

The resolute answer made Fei Xi look at the person in front of her with suspicion.

As if sensing Fei Xi's confusion, Qiu Shuying gently pressed her finger to her lips, revealing a seductive smile:

"Didn't you say that the martial arts world of the Central Plains has a deep-seated hatred for the Kunko tribe? The Kunko tribe's sacred object is something that everyone in the martial arts world should kill. Besides, those who have been parasitized by the Kunko can no longer be considered human."

"Those are all inhuman monsters, aren't they?"

"My sister is a hero who single-handedly killed tens of thousands of monsters!"

“I am neither a hero nor a saint. The innocent people parasitized by Kunke do not deserve to die. But if we allow the undead, who have lost their minds and are driven only by instinct, to live, the Central Plains will once again suffer the same fate as it did fifteen years ago, with countless lives lost and the world devastated. If I am unfortunate enough to die one day, I will go to hell alone.”

His calm tone conveyed a firm resolve that he would not regret whatever lay ahead.

Having witnessed countless betrayals and lies, Qiu Shuying was deeply moved by the sincerity before her, a sincerity that seemed to say, "Even if there are thousands of people against me, I will go."

However, in an instant, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she deliberately seduced him, saying:

“Silly sister, those people weren’t killed by you, why are you being so foolish as to take the blame for everything?”

"The moral guardians are not to be trifled with. If you insist that those ten thousand immortals are monsters and not human, those cowardly moral guardians won't dare to say anything. If you say they are innocent, for killing innocent people, the moral guardians' spittle could drown you. You might as well push everything onto that despicable old man, after all, he was the one who actually did it."

Fei Xi shook her head slightly. She knew perfectly well that if Qiu Shuying hated someone the most right now, it would undoubtedly be the old man who had nearly killed her with a single blow. Not wanting to stir up further hatred, she changed the subject:

"Sister, I remember you said that besides me, you also saved someone from that villain? Who was that person? And how did you know that villain could summon giant waves to attack us?"

"Oh, speaking of which, how did you manage that explosion?" Qiu Shuying didn't answer, but instead asked Fei Xi.

“At the time, I noticed that there was a Ten Thousand Corpses Fiend Qi Array inside the cave. Based on this, I deduced that there were at least tens of thousands of undead inside. And Kun Ke must have a considerable number of people who could control tens of thousands of undead. If he could keep these people in the cave, there must be something in the cave that Kun Ke liked.”

“I once heard my master say that Kunko’s favorite plant is called ‘Nether Grass.’ I not only found ‘Nether Grass’ in the cave, but also ‘Exploding Mushrooms.’ Interestingly, the cave was colorful everywhere under the sunlight. The damp soil on the ground was dark brown and smelled of rotten oil. This means that there is probably a large amount of oil stored underground in the cave.”

"I'm afraid the person who set up this plan probably thought that even the Ten Thousand Corpses Fiend Qi Formation wouldn't be able to kill the Lord of Tianshan. So, they planned to burn him to death with oil if the formation failed."

Fei Xi honestly told the whole story, while Qiu Shuying, oblivious to the hidden motives in her words, laughed gleefully.

"Ha, I never expected that Lu Yun Chu, who is so clever all his life, would have his elaborate schemes become the key to breaking your predicament."

"Lu Yun Chu? Is she the villain who wanted to kill me?"

Hearing Fei Xi's puzzled question, Qiu Shuying gave her a meaningful glance.

This little girl is smart, but she's also a bit stubborn and naive. We need to cut off her escape routes so she can only be used by us.

"Would you like to see the other person I snatched from Lu Yun Chu?"

"Is he my junior brother? Is he alright?" Fei Xi asked anxiously, her face full of tension.

"Come with me."

Qiu Shuying did not respond to Fei Xi, and led her straight outside.

The door behind them closed tightly again as the two left. Fei Xi didn't look back, but out of the corner of her eye as she left, she caught a glimpse of the man named Ya Luo still lying in the corner, his back to them, his fate unknown.

Not too far away, Qiu Shuying led Fei Xi to a door on the other side.

This time, the key was inserted into the mouth of the figure in the mural on the side of the door.

As the door opened, Fei Xi frowned in confusion.

The scene inside the door was quite different from that of the underground palace.

Torches hung on the simple bluestone, creating an eerie and ghostly atmosphere, a stark contrast to the previous rooms' opulent splendor.

Not far from the entrance, there was a set of steps leading down. Fei Xi followed Qiu Shuying down the steps.

Not far away, they saw a row of prison cells.

In the prison cells were those who had surviving the traitors from the garden, and in other cells were people from other regions whose clothing and appearance were clearly not those of people from the Central Plains.

Fei Xi followed Qiu Shuying to the end, where there was a secret room made of black iron.

Qiu Shuying stopped in front of the secret room, took out three keys and inserted them into the heart, eyes and unspeakable position of the person in the mural on the wall.

Then she suddenly gathered her inner energy, focusing it in her palms, and pushed forward with all her might.

The heavy iron gate, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, was slowly pushed open from the outside in.

Fei Xi followed behind Qiu Shuying without making a sound.

But when the door opened and she saw what was inside, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The sealed room was filled with various cruel instruments of torture, some of which were dripping with dark red blood.

But that's not what made Fei Xi cry out.

In the deepest part of the secret chamber, a person was hanging up, his limbs tightly bound by iron chains made of black iron.

Two sharp iron hooks pierced the collarbone mercilessly, leaving the bloodied body covered in various wounds.

Most horrifyingly, a sword had pierced through the man's chest, right through his heart.

Even so, the man did not die.

Upon hearing the noise at the door, he ignored the tearing pain in his back, raised his head, and immediately saw Fei Xi behind Qiu Shuying.

Their eyes met, as if they were gazing at each other across a river, the vast and boundless Milky Way stretching out, distant and unreachable.

"You..." The hoarse voice was interrupted by a tone of disgust as soon as it began to speak:

"I never thought that you, the dignified Lord of Tianshan, would have such a day!"
