I manage female characters in all the heavens.

The ten villains were already incredibly evil, yet even combined they couldn't compare to one ten-thousandth of the radiance reflected in the sun, which truly shocked them.

Such a powerful demon, if not killed quickly, would indeed risk the destruction of the world, which terrified them all.

“I have something to say, please listen carefully,” a young voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned to look and saw a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old walk in from outside the door, with a cynical smile on his face, but his eyes were bright and lively.

It was a little fish.

He is seventeen years old this year, clever and mischievous, yet secretly harboring a chivalrous heart.

Hearing that the world was about to be destroyed, he couldn't hold back any longer and prepared to use all his skills to persuade the evil masters to come out of the mountains and eliminate the demons.

"Little Fish, you've come at the right time." Tu Jiaojiao waved to him. "Tell me, what should we do?"

Xiaoyuer walked to the table, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said seriously, "Given the current situation, we have no choice but to come out of the mountains."

"Coming down from the mountain?" Everyone was taken aback.

“That’s right.” Little Fish nodded. “Think about it. That Demon Lord Yingri is going to destroy the world. At that time, not only will our Evil Valley be destroyed, but the entire martial arts world, and even the whole world, will be destroyed by her.”

"By then, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape."

The group looked at each other and fell silent.

This is precisely the issue that worries them.

With the various messages spread by Wei Wuyuan, the evidence of her own actions, and the massacres that established Yingri's prestige, Yingri's demonic reputation became so overwhelming that even the wicked had to consider the possibility that she could truly destroy the world.

“So,” Little Fish spread his hands, “I think we should take advantage of the opportunity we still have to come out of the mountains and join the Demon Extermination Alliance to do our part. After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.”

"If we happen to be short of the power to exorcise the demon and cause the world to fall, who can remain unscathed?"

“But…we, the Ten Villains, have a blood feud with those so-called righteous people!” Li Dazui frowned. “Would they accept us?”

“These are extraordinary times, they can’t care about these things now,” Xiaoyuer laughed. “Even Wei Wuyuan joined the Demon Extermination Alliance. He was hated to the bone by those righteous people, but he was still accepted, wasn’t he?”

“That’s true…” Du Sha nodded thoughtfully.

"Moreover," Little Fish's eyes turned sly, "we can also heal Uncle Yan and take him out with us. He's the number one swordsman in the world. If we can get him to help, our chances of defeating the demon will be much greater!"

"Yan Nantian?!" Everyone gasped. "You really dare to dream that far!"

Yan Nantian was personally ambushed and put in that state by them. If they were to save him and he were to wake up, wouldn't he be the first to kill them and settle scores?

"What's there to be afraid of?" Xiaoyuer shrugged. "Let's join forces to wake him up first, and then, in the name of all living beings, unite with him to save the world. A great hero like him can't possibly kill you under these circumstances."

"Don't worry, this is a sure thing!"

Du Sha and the others looked at each other, pondered for a long time, and finally agreed.

Alas, rumors are harmful; even the ten most notorious villains have fallen victim to them.

Chapter 128: The Demonic Power Increases Automatically Day by Day, and the Alliance's Efforts Are Thriving.

Time flies like an arrow; a month passes in the blink of an eye.

Deep within the Anqing City Lord's Mansion, in a quiet room filled with domineering Mingyu True Qi, "Tie Xinlan" sat cross-legged, her body surrounded by a faint, chilling light.

For the past month, she has not stepped out of her meditation room.

After several major battles, he traveled all the way from Jiangxi, where he wiped out entire families, and then traveled thousands of miles to defeat hundreds of forces in the Demon Extermination Alliance. He eliminated thousands of warriors in the first batch of the Demon Extermination Alliance's expeditionary force, until finally, in that earth-shattering battle where he single-handedly defeated 50,000 troops of the Eastern Depot.

In every battle, she used her Absorption Technique to devour a large number of martial artists.

She could discard their skill levels, but their martial arts knowledge, combat experience, and understanding of techniques...

These spiritual accumulations, like a trickle flowing into the ocean, all settled deep within her consciousness.

The martial arts insights of thousands of martial artists cover almost all categories, from Jianghu techniques to top-notch skills.

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks; fists, palms, fingers, legs, body techniques, light body skills; internal and external martial arts, hard and soft martial arts... a wide variety, encompassing everything.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, it would probably take more than ten years just to digest this complex information, and they might even be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and go mad.

But "Iron Heart Orchid" is different.

Her soul, having undergone several trans-world trusteeships, has long since become exceptionally resilient.

Her mental strength had reached an almost inhuman level, to the point that she could brainwash those with weak wills without even making eye contact, simply by using her willpower and demonic nature.

More importantly, she already possessed martial arts knowledge accumulated from four worlds, and her vision and foundation far surpassed that of any martial artist in this world.

For her, "digestion" is more like a "confirmation" and "integration".

With her eyes closed, countless martial arts insights flowed like a river of stars in her mind, which she sorted out, categorized, absorbed, and sublimated one by one.

Those martial arts skills that were once merely "known" have become "understood" after absorbing the practical experience of the corresponding martial artists.

Those martial arts skills that were once only "understood" have become "mastered" after incorporating the styles of multiple different schools.

And those martial arts skills that she thoroughly mastered after repeatedly deducing and verifying them from various sources—they became her own instincts.

After a month, her martial arts skills had undergone a qualitative leap.

If a month ago she relied on the chilling power of Mingyu Gong, the domineering nature of the Absorption Technique, the demonic power of the Avici Dao Three Slashes, and the unpredictable nature of bullet time to crush her opponents with "great strength and flying bricks"—

Now, she truly possesses the vision and skills of a "master".

She no longer needs to rely on brute force.

She could deduce the principles of force generation, the path of internal energy circulation, and the weaknesses of any martial art after just one glance.

She can simulate the entire execution process in her mind after hearing the description of any move, and even extrapolate to deduce better variations.

She even extracted several rather exquisite little techniques from those scattered fragments of martial arts—

For example, there is a technique called "thread manipulation" that condenses true energy into fine threads invisible to the naked eye, allowing one to manipulate objects remotely.

For example, there is a technique called "Cold Needle Break" that compresses cold air into extremely fine needles that can silently pierce through an opponent's protective aura.

For example, there's a technique called "Butterfly Step" that combines lightness skill with agility, allowing for seven consecutive changes of direction within a small space...

These techniques, taken individually, would be considered top-tier or even top-level skills in the martial arts world.

But for her now, it's just a trinket she can pick up casually.

More importantly, her vision finally broke through the limitations of the current world.

If a month ago she was just a "master of many martial arts", now she has truly begun to touch the threshold of the "essence of martial arts".

She even had a vague feeling—

If she continues to absorb knowledge in this way, one day she will be able to extract from thousands of martial arts techniques the path to a higher level.

Of course, that day will require more "nourishment" to arrive.

……

The past month has been anything but peaceful in the martial arts world.

It could even be said that the winds were rising and the clouds were surging, and the waves were towering.

The news that the Demon Lord Yingri had single-handedly defeated the 50,000-strong army of the Eastern Depot had already spread throughout the land.

But what truly shook the entire martial arts world was not merely the terrifying results of that battle—

Instead, a series of new charges against the "Sun-Reflecting Demon" followed.

One day, the largest grain merchant in Jiangnan, "Wanfeng," was wiped out. All three hundred members of the family were killed, and hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain in the warehouse were burned to ashes.

The scene still bore traces of icy, bone-chilling true energy.

Some people confidently claimed that they personally witnessed a woman in a yellow dress flying out of the fire.

Thus, the case of the massacre of the entire family was attributed to Yingri.

On another day, the headquarters of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, the largest escort agency in the Sichuan area, was massacred, and 300,000 taels of silver stored in the agency and prepared to be transported to the imperial court disappeared.

It is said that on the night of the incident, some people heard a strange suction and whistling sound coming from the direction of the security company.

Therefore, this debt was again attributed to Yingri.

One day, the leader of the largest gang in the Hubei and Hunan region, the "Qingjiao Gang," died suddenly at home. His death was gruesome; it was as if all his blood and essence had been drained, leaving only a skin and bones as a dried corpse.

The coroner stated after examining the body that he had never seen such a bizarre way of dying.

This method of death closely matches the description of the legendary "Power Absorption Technique".

Therefore, the case naturally fell to Yingri.

But the most outrageous things are yet to come.

A band of ruthless bandits raided three villages along the southeastern coast, stealing all their valuables and young women. Before leaving, they left words in blood on the wall: "Under the sun's throne, we reap the harvest on behalf of Heaven."

The bandits in the Northwest robbed caravans under the banner of "Vanguard of the Sunlit Demon Palace".

Even in the capital, someone was arrested for forging imperial edicts to swindle people. Under interrogation, the swindler claimed that he was a "killer sent by Lord Yingri to infiltrate the capital and assassinate the emperor."

……

One pile, one piece.

True and false, false and true.

Some of these cases involve people impersonating Yingri to commit evil deeds, some are existing unsolved cases that have been forcibly attributed to her, and some are simply fabricated rumors.

But as more and more people spread the word, it became a "fact".

Thus, in just one month, the reputation of the Great Demon King Yingri swept across the entire martial arts world like a tsunami.

Her image truly transformed from "a female demon with extremely high martial arts skills" to "the greatest demon of all time, who has poisoned the world for a century, committed heinous crimes, and intended to destroy the world."

The sins Wei Wuyuan mentioned before were all things of the past. Although everyone found them terrifying, they lacked a sense of reality and were like listening to legends.

But these things happened only recently, the scene is still there, and many people are even firsthand witnesses, so the sense of immersion is incredibly strong.

Countless people who have never seen her grit their teeth when they mention her name, yet they find it hard to fall asleep in the dead of night because of fear.

"That witch is terrifying. I heard she feels restless if she doesn't kill someone every day, and she has already personally killed no less than ten million people!"

"That's not all! I heard she practiced an evil art that requires absorbing the souls of infants to improve. All the infants that have disappeared in various places over the past hundred years were kidnapped by her people!"

"I've also heard that she's actually a demon who existed a hundred years ago when the previous dynasty collapsed. She survives by sucking the life essence of people. Her young and beautiful face is made by sewing together the skins of countless young girls!"

"Good heavens... is there really anyone who can deal with this kind of demon?"
