While Jiang Youning was waiting for news about the bee swarm and the Sun Stone Butterfly, a sound broke through the air, and a sharp arrow shot towards her face at a speed of several blocks.
At this critical moment, Jiang Youning turned her head slightly, and the arrow flew along her cheek and pierced the trunk of the peach tree behind her.
"Giggle." A chilling laughter sounded from all sides of the valley.
At this time, a woman in a pink dress with a peach-like face appeared in front of Jiang Youning, holding a peach blossom fan in her hand and a bow and arrow in the other hand.
The woman walked slowly and leisurely in front of Jiang Youning, with a smile on her face, but the killing intent in her eyes was impossible to ignore.
"I didn't expect that one of the people selected here would have cultivation. Hahaha, not bad, really good!"
The woman smiled brazenly and seemed not to take Jiang Youning seriously.
Seeing this, Jiang Youning's face froze, and she couldn't get rid of the goosebumps that kept popping up.
"Shut up, you!"
Jiang Youning just wanted the woman to stop her goosebump-inducing laughter. She took out the Heart-Destroying Thunder from her arms and threw it out without saying a word.
At this time, Xiaoxiao who was on the side flew out directly, grabbed the Heart-Destroying Thunder in mid-air, and then accurately threw it into the woman's mouth that was wide open due to laughter.
The unsuspecting woman simply made a "gudong" sound and swallowed the Heart-Destroying Thunder.
"You, what did you give me to eat!"
The woman lowered her head and coughed violently several times, trying to spit out what she had swallowed. However, doing so would only be a waste of energy.
"Heart-destroying thunder." Jiang Youning replied.
Upon hearing this answer, the woman became dumbfounded, "Destroy, destroy the heart."
It can be seen that women have heard of the heart-destroying thunder and know its power, so they are so afraid.
"Stop, stop, little girl, let's discuss it. I'll let you go, but you don't want to detonate the heart-breaking thunder."
Heart-destroying hidden weapons such as the Heart-Destroying Thunder are very difficult to manufacture. Because the lethality is so huge, there is a fear of accidentally injuring someone when using it, so the Heart-Destroying Thunder needs to be detonated manually.
Seeing that the woman had surrendered, Jiang Youning turned her face cold and asked expressionlessly: "Who are you?"
Because of fear and the power of the heart-destroying thunder, the woman answered honestly: "I am the Peach Blossom Fairy from Taoyuan Town. My name is Taoyao. Little girl, I have promised to let you go. Can you remove the heart-destroying thunder from my body?" Take it out."
Even if this thing exploded outside, she would not dare to face its edge, let alone inside her body. If it was detonated, she would definitely be shattered to pieces.
She had finally found such a treasured place for cultivation, and she didn't want to ruin her life and great future in vain.
Seeing that Jiang Youning was unmoved, Tao Yao continued: "The power of the heart-destroying thunder is huge. If one of them falls, it will probably collapse this place. By then, neither of us will be able to survive."
Seeing Taoyao trying to get closer while talking, Jiang Youning immediately became vigilant and said sternly: "Back off!"
Hearing the sound, Taoyao subconsciously took two steps back.
"Why did you catch us here?" Jiang Youning asked again.
Hearing the question, Taoyao's eyes looked a little empty.
"I didn't capture you, it did it." Taoyao pointed at the peach tree behind Jiang Youning.
"You should have just come out of this peach tree, right? I'm here to save you." As she said that, Tao Yao showed what she thought was a gentle smile.
Jiang Youning raised her eyebrows. Was this person treating her as a fool?
She didn't speak, just moved her fingers, and Taoyao felt waves of burning sensation coming from her Dantian.
"No, don't explode, I say, I say!"
Taoyao didn't seem to expect Jiang Youning to be so decisive, and she turned pale with fright.
"I am a peach tree spirit. I discovered this place by chance. I realized that practicing here would get twice the result with half the effort, so I settled here."
"Why are we captured here?" Jiang Youning continued to ask.
"Because, because..."
Under Jiang Youning's pressure, Taoyao finally revealed her purpose.
After discovering this treasure land, she chose to take root here and practice cultivation. Then she discovered that people here would worship the Peach Blossom Fairy every year. Because she was greedy for those beliefs, she simply pretended to be the Peach Blossom Fairy.
As the saying goes, people's hearts are greedy, and demons are even more so.
Gradually, Tao Yao is no longer satisfied with this speed of cultivation. Even if her cultivation speed in one year is now faster than her cultivation speed in the previous ten years, she is still not satisfied.
So, she began to focus on those in Taoyuan Town.
Because the people of Taoyuan Town have enjoyed the blessings of the previous Peach Blossom Fairy all year round, they have a deep connection with the fairy, which is a rare good thing for a monster to get Taoyao.
However, immortality is limited after all. Over the course of hundreds of years, she absorbed all the immortality in Taoyuan Town, which indirectly led to fewer and fewer residents of Taoyuan Town having the qualifications to practice. At this point, Taoyao still refused to stop and focused on those girls who had the qualifications to practice but had not yet started practicing.
Until now, Taoyao still doesn't think she is at fault and keeps defending herself.
"Although I took away their talents, I also gave them a prosperous life. In the world of immortality, the weak and the strong prey on each other. I did this for their own good."
Jiang Youning was expressionless, looking at Taoyao who was defending herself with cold eyes, and said coldly: "You are not qualified to make choices for anyone."
From her angle, she could just see wisps of black demonic energy surrounding Taoyao's body, which was a sign of becoming possessed.
Being able to find this place is a rare opportunity for a little fairy like Tao Yao. If she follows the rules, it may not be impossible to become the next Peach Blossom Fairy.
However, she still failed to resist her inner desires. From the first time she indulged her desires, she embarked on a path of no return step by step.
After all, desire can never be satisfied. Once you get it, you will want more, over and over again, until you drown yourself in the ocean of desire.
Seeing this, Jiang Youning detonated the heart-breaking thunder in Taoyao's body without hesitation.
With a shrill scream, Taoyao's body turned into a peach tree. There were no leaves on the branches, and there were no gorgeous peach blossoms. Some of them had only lonely branches, which looked different from other peach trees next to them. So out of place.
