Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

A group of people emerged from the back mountain, just in time to see Great Protector Tong Zhiquan leading several individuals toward the secret vault where the Dragon Suppressing Plate was kept.

"Guardian Tong!"

Qu Hongling intercepted their path, her eyes sharp as blades, coldly questioning, "Why are you collaborating with the Third Prince?"

Tong Zhiquan saw Qu Hongling, furrowing his brows slightly, showing disdain, he replied coldly, "You are no longer the Sect Master of the Sky Demon Sect. Internal affairs are none of your concern. If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

Qu Hongling's pretty face carried a hint of murderous intent as she coldly responded:

"I have yet to hand over the Sky Demon Order. The position of Sect Master of the Sky Demon Sect is not yours to take. You are not qualified to make any decisions for the Sky Demon Sect. If anyone should leave, it should be you!"

The envoy sent by the Third Prince witnessed this, laughed, and said, "Sect Master Tong, it seems that you are in trouble."

Tong Zhiquan's face turned extremely cold, staring directly at Qu Hongling, speaking each word slowly as if squeezing them through his teeth, "This is your last chance, leave the Sky Demon Sect immediately!"

At this moment, Shen Shengyuan spoke up from the side:

"Great Protector, the Young Sect Master was personally chosen by the old Sect Master as the next Sect Leader, and you have also mentioned the old Sect Master's decision..."

However, before Shen Shengyuan could finish speaking, Tong Zhiquan's expression turned cold, and he suddenly raised his hand.

His sword-like finger made a swift slash through the air.

In an instant, invisible Sword Qi formed out of thin air, enveloping Shen Shengyuan like a cage.

Sword Qi immediately pierced into Shen Shengyuan's body, causing blood to gush out.

"Mr. Shen!"

Qu Hongling's expression changed, she tried to rescue him, but was forced back three steps by a biting Gang Wind.

Ran Qingchen's slender fingers opened, forcibly tearing apart the Sword Qi, producing a vibrating sound.

Shen Shengyuan's body broke free and fell heavily onto the ground.

Qu Hongling hurriedly stepped forward to check on him.

By this moment, Shen Shengyuan had turned into a bloody figure, his breath weak and nearly extinguished.

Qu Hongling turned her head, anger burning in her beautiful eyes, glaring at Tong Zhiquan, shouting angrily, "Guardian Tong! Mr. Shen has been your fellow disciple, how can you be so ruthless!"

Tong Zhiquan remained expressionless, coldly saying:

"I gave you all a chance, it's you who don't know what's good for you and don't cherish it."

With that, Tong Zhiquan suddenly stomped his foot on the ground.

In an instant, golden pillars of light erupted from the ground like spring bamboo shoots, and a giant Eight Trigrams Array appeared above the Sky Demon Sect.

At the same time, Ran Qingchen and the others clearly felt their cultivation being suppressed by an invisible force.

"Is this..."

Qu Hongling's throat let out a startled gasp. "Forbidden Spirit Array!?"

As the premier array of the Sky Demon Sect, it had long been damaged, unexpectedly, Tong Zhiquan had repaired it in secret.

Ran Qingchen's brows gathered into a sharp arc, feeling the suppression of the Shura Spiritual Power within her, her eyes seemed to freeze over with a frosty glaze: "Why is there the aura of Shura Nightmare within it?"

Tong Zhiquan stood with his hands behind his back, faintly smiling:

"Offer the blood sacrifice of eight thousand infants to condense the Shura Nightmare, slaughter all directions with the Blood Slaughter Sword. Back then, even the cold-blooded Asura Queen couldn't do it, which is why she was suppressed.

But I am not like you, sometimes sacrifices must be made. It's a pity you came a bit early. In forty-nine days, when I finish crafting the Blood Slaughter Sword, killing you... will be as easy as flipping my hand."

Jiang Shouzhong was horrified inside.

This guy has become this insane.

Tong Zhiquan looked at Qu Hongling with a somewhat complicated expression:

"I once thought of letting you be the Sect Master, but you cared too much about emotions. The purpose of the Sky Demon Sect is to unify the Demon Clan. Since you can't do it, I have to take on the role myself."

Qu Hongling bit down tightly, her pretty face slightly reddened with anger, "You deserve to die!!"

The young woman summoned demonic power around her, transforming into a massive blood-colored Phoenix.

The Phoenix let out a long cry, its wings spread wide, charging toward the Eight Trigrams Array with formidable momentum.

Tong Zhiquan saw this, furrowing his brows, but quickly sneered, "You think just a girl like you can break my Forbidden Spirit Array?"

Tong Zhiquan's blue robe flapped loudly in the wind, his ten fingers danced like butterflies, causing the Eight Trigrams Array to begin to spin in reverse, countless golden chains of light flew out from the array, entangling the Phoenix.

Ran Qingchen waved her sleeve, causing hundreds of White Bone Demon Vines to emerge from the ground, binding the golden pillars at the edge of the Eight Trigrams Array.

The pillars were corroded, dimming significantly.

Tong Zhiquan's right palm manifested a blood-colored curse seal, pressing heavily, causing the corroded light pillars to explode into a rain of golden needles, pinning the White Bone Demon Vines into dust.

Ran Qingchen frowned slightly, a look of contemplation flashed in her eyes, she turned to Jiang Shouzhong and said:

"This Forbidden Spirit Array, paired with the Shura Nightmare, is continuously suppressing our cultivation. Moreover, this is Tong Zhiquan's territory; if we can manage to lure him out of the array's range, we might have a chance to kill him outright."

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head helplessly, his expression heavy: "That old vixen is very cunning. To successfully lure him out is as hard as ascending to the heavens."

"How will we know without trying?"

Ran Qingchen's figure flashed like lightning, sweeping toward Tong Zhiquan like a streak of light.

However, just as Jiang Shouzhong said, no matter how Ran Qingchen and the others provoked or attempted to lure him, Tong Zhiquan remained unmoved, as steady as Mount Tai, indifferent to everything.

Like a lion, just guarding his own territory.

After several fierce battles, under the suppression of the Forbidden Spirit Array, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Ran Qingchen was extremely frustrated, feeling as if her hands and feet were tightly bound, unable to unleash her full potential, bottled up with a giant stone in her heart, leaving her utterly dissatisfied.
